He was stupid.
No other way to put it.
He had stood there, motionless.
He was had been ready, more than ready and then he saw it.
And he froze.
He stood staring at himself in hospitals bathroom mirror, watching the droplets run down his face and into the sink and down the drain.
Brass was going to be fine, he was getting out of the hospital in a few days.
It had taken a toll on everyone; it had hit close to home on all of them. Not much of a rare thing, officers and CSI's were killed every day. But life went on with a blink of an eye. It wasn't until it was your friend, and then it sank in.
Life was short.
So drink it up while you can.
And it had given him his wake up call to see where this constant flirting with Sara would lead. Would it remain what it was? Laced with sexual tension or would the tension finally break, and she felt something for him.
He didn't like not knowing.
He was making his move, he opened the door towards him, his hair ruffling from the small wind the door created. It didn't take him long to be back where everyone was.
And that's when he saw it.
She was alone, the others had gone for coffee, and she was gathering up her things.
"Where are you going?" he asked, his voice cracking, she looked up from her task and smiled.
"You ready?" came from a voice he had heard on so many occasions,
"Ya" she answered the voice "Did you want anything Greg?"
"Just..umm…just drive safe okay?" he faked a smile and wondered if you could pinpoint the exact moment when someone's heart broke if you watched them close enough. Right now he hoped you couldn't because his was breaking in a thousand different directions.
She had kissed him on the cheek then, and walked away.
He remembered going home, sitting in darkness listening to the rain pitter patter against the windows, not caring. And to be truthful he really didn't know why he was like this. He wasn't thinking, he was just sitting.
He knew it right then.
He had lost her.
For Good.
Game Over.
A/N: Have another chapter in the works for this but if I dont get enough reviews, then it's scraped. Don't own anything related to CSI, or anything else you see on TV.
