The End
It all happened so fast. That's what they all say isn't it? Well it's true this time, I don't think Grissom ever saw it coming. The crash, the complications, her coma.
"She's not waking up, is she?" The doctor didn't need to say anything, Grissom could see it in his eyes, just as sure as Dr. Stafford could see the tears in his own.
"There's still a chance Mr. Grissom, remember that." He said with his hand on Grissom's shoulder. And even though Grissom didn't see the doctors' face since his head was turned towards her, I sure could and I don't think the doctor honestly believed his own words. "As soon as there's a change in her condition I'll contact you, until then feel free to talk to me about anything, anytime." He turned around with a nod towards me, then headed to the door.
I was standing slightly behind Grissom trying to figure out something meaningful to say. Something comforting. It was an impossible task, I don't think anything would helped his mind at that point.
"You don't need to stay Catherine. Go home to Lindsay and have…fun, I don't know, do something. It's been a rough day."
"And what about you? You've had it worse than all of us. You're just going to stay here until she di-"
"-No one said she's going to die, Catherine." He turned sharply around and stared angrily at me.
"The doctor just said so, Grissom! And yes there is a chance that she's going to survive, but it's small, very small." I was going to saying something else, but stopped when I heard a small sob from Grissoms' turned back. "Gil, I'm sorry." I said as I walked towards him and squatted infront of him.
"She's all I have Catherine, and if she don't wake up I don't know what I'll do." He could barely finish the sentence before a new wave of sobs racked his body.
Usually I know how to comfort someone in this kind of situations, but in some way this was different. Still I embraced his body, and he held on to me like his life depended on it, and I guess in someway it did. Sara was all he had, and now she was probably gone forever.
I just had to write this, and if i get enough positive response i might write a prequel/sequel to this... (Just so you know)
