What Hurts The Most

A/N: My first fic so be nice. If you find any spelling mistakes tell me so I can put them right. The song is "What Hurts The Most" by Rascal Flatts. I hope you like it!

What Hurts The Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

Catherine lay curled into a ball on her bed staring through the window opposite her. Tears slid down her cheeks as she listened to the song that's was playing on the radio. Rain pounded the windows and nothing of the other side of the street could be seen through the sheets of wet greyness.

What hurts the most
was being so close
and having so much to say
and watching you walk away
and never knowing
what could have been
and not seeing that loving you
is what I was tryin' to do

She had wanted to tell Sara how she felt but forgot the row earlier that week that had ended in Sara walking away through the dusty Las Vegas streets.

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

She hurt inside and couldn't even remember what the fight was about now. Catherine thought it had been about Sara leaving Lindsay alone in the house while she went to the local Wal-Mart to pick up some more ice-cream. Everyday she went into work hoping that she would have forgotten, but every time she saw her Sara gave her daggers and walked away. She forced a smile and Said "I'm fine" when ever Grissom, Warrick, Nick, Greg or somebody else asked if she was ok.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do

As the last notes of the song died away Catherine heard a knock at her door and she got up checking her appearance in the mirror before opening the door. A gasp escaped her as she saw a soaking we Sara standing on her doorstep holding a bunch or roses in her hands. "I'm sorry" she whispered. Catherine grabbed the front of her shirt and pulled her in for a kiss. They waked backwards into her house and Sara toed the front door shut before Catherine pinned her to it and growled "Never do that to me again. I love you too much to live without you." Sara sucked on her lovers neck a little before saying "I love you too"
