Author's note: Okay, well here's my attempt at CSI fanfiction! It's totally bad but whatever. Now I know there are a lot of song lyrics in this chapter but I swear, there is a point to them so please bear with me and read them all? Please and thank you!
DisclaimerOkay, I don't own CSI, not do I own "When Will it be Me?" by Yasmeen, "Fly on the Wings of Love" by Groove Coverage, "Just the Girl" by Click Five, "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy, or"Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows.
Finally something to be Thankful For
She didn't even know what she was doing there. She had flown across the country to return a cell phone. She knew she was acting oddly but she really didn't have anything better to do. Thanksgiving was never a happy time for her, mainly because she didn't have anything to be thankful for. Now, as she drove through the Buffalo New York country side listening to the radio, she contemplated her actions.
I see the couples are walkin by
Feel like I
Don't wanna be alone today
So glad no one can see what I hide
Deep inside
How it feels to be
The girl who never gets the right guy
Tell me why
When there's so much I've got to give
I wake up reaching out in the night
Ready to hold him tight
Till I realize
That nobody is there
When will it be me?
When will I be the one
Somebody's dreaming of?
When's it gonna be?
When will I find my heart
Lyin inside the arms
That never let me go?
I'd really like to know
When will it be me?
My friends seem to have all the love
(Feels like love)
Knocks on their door and walks right in
I know that I am worthy of what I've been wishing for
I can't wait no more
Love's nowhere to be found
When will it be me?
When will I be the one
Somebody's dreaming of?
Tell me, when is it going to be?
When will I find my heart
Lyin inside the arms
That never let me go?
I'd really like to know
When will it be me?
Feeling his tender touch
(Lying in his arms)
Talkin bout forever together
Givin him all my love
That's been trying to break free
Don't wanna be alone
No more
I'm telling you what I need
I want someone who loves me for me
And when will it be?
Wonder when it will be me?
When will it be me?
When will I be the one
Somebody's dreaming of?
somebody he's dreaming of..
When will I find my heart
Lyin inside the arms
When will it be me?
When will I be the one
Somebody's dreaming of?
Ohh, yeah, yeaahh
When will I find my heart
Lyin inside the arms
I ask myself
When will it be me?
The song seemed to suit her life all to well.
"God damn." She swore, turning left onto a desolate road. "What am I doing here? I'm acting so stupid. He's probably out here visiting his girlfriend's family or something. Then what am I supposed to do? Just give him his cell and fly back to Vegas? I guess that's what I'll have to do…" she said to herself.
Greg Sanders stood on the front lawn of a Victorian house, raking the leaves diligently. He had come up to his sister's house for a week's vacation which just happened to overlap Thanksgiving weekend. He felt horrible about leaving for some reason. Probably because he knew Grissom was short staffed seeing as Sara was suspended for misconduct. He was listening to the radio which sat on the porch, singing along with the songs. He didn't know why but he was listening to a dance remix of about four different songs.
Fly on the wings of love In the summer night There is just one more thing I would like to add
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
When the moon shines bright
Feeling love forever
And the heat is on
When the daylight is gone
Still - happy together
She is the greatest love I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
She laughs at my dreams Cause she's bittersweet She can't keep a secret Cause she's bittersweet
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
For more than an hour
She runs on 100 proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do?
I'd do anything for her
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
The way she sees it's me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word she's ever said
Is still ringin' in my head
Still ringin' in my head
She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
Knows just what to say
So my whole day is ruined
Drop a heart, break a name We're going down, down in an earlier round Is this more than you bargained for yet Drop a heart, break a name We're going down, down in an earlier round
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
So she said what's the problem baby Come on, come on So I said I'm a snowball running Well baby I surrender These lines of lightning Come on, Come on Come on, come on We're accidentally in love
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love
Accidentally in love
Greg was dancing around with the rake by then, hardly even remembering that he was supposed to be raking. Just then his thirty-seven year old sister Mary walked out onto the porch with her three kids in tow. She shook her head at her younger brother, instructing her kids to go get in the car.
"Hey Greg, who are you singing about?" Mary questioned as she walked over to him. Greg jumped; he hadn't anticipated his sister's sudden appearance.
"Jesus Mary! What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack?" he asked her with a smirk on his lips.
"Maybe. Now, answer the question, who were you singing about?" Mary asked again.
"Doesn't matter, she doesn't fell the same way about me." Greg replied, dropping the rake lightly into a pile of leaves. Mary smiled at him, shaking her head gently.
"Greg, this woman you've been singing about, it's that woman from work you're enthralled with, isn't it?" she said.
"Is it that obvious?" Greg inquired, his shoulders slumping slightly.
"'Fraid so; err, now tell me, what's she look like?"
"She has the most gorgeous mahogany hair that flows like silk in the wind when she runs. And her eyes, oh I could drown in them-" Greg started.
"Skeleton note please Greggo, skeleton note." Mary rushed, holding her hand up as a sign for him to hurry up.
"Brown hair just below her shoulders, these gorgeous chocolate eyes. About five foot nine, a hundred and fifteen pounds maybe. She's got a wonderful figure. And she's beautiful Mary, more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen before." Greg smiled, looking down at his feet. Mary grinned back at him.
"Well, I've gotta go get Kevin and mum and dad from the airport. I'll be back around four. And Greg, I think maybe you should turn around, I think there's someone here to see you." Mary snickered slightly, walking off towards her car which was situated in the driveway.
Greg turned around to see Sara walking slowly and cautiously towards him across the lawn. Greg's jaw dropped as when he saw her.
"Sara, what are you doing here?" he asked in a shocked manner.
"I…I just wanted to return this to you…" Sara said shyly, handing him his cell phone. Greg looked at her with a smile.
"You came all this way to give me my cell phone? Wow-"Greg said, flabbergasted. Sara just blushed slightly. "Do you want some coffee?" he asked. Sara nodded, and then she followed him into the house.
Chapter End Note: Well? What do ya think? Was it okay? I know it's kinda cheesy and what not but what can I say? I was out raking leaves with my dad and the thought just came to me. Random eh? But yeah, I'll try and update this soon, I have been working on it during my History class at school. Reviews make my day so PLEASE press that little button:)
