A/N this is my first fanfic, please tell me what its like :-s

The radio called out in Sara's denali 'this is got to be the biggest storm Vegas has ever seen, time to stay in door folks, because this rain isn't going anywhere'

'Great' she muttered as she pulled into her crime scene to find Nick already there, she had been called in on her day off, and it was raining, she was not the happiest person in the world. Even so. Se figured at least she was working with Nick, it couldn't be that bad a night.

'Sara' nick called as she got out of her car denali.

'Nick, so whats happened'

'Female db, no ID as of yet, signs of a struggle, husbands with the cops over there making his satement'

'Remind me again hy i was called in?' Sara questioned

'Honestly? I don't know, but i sure am glad your here'

'Flattery will get you everywhere now what do you want me to do?'

'Hey Sara?'

Sarah looked up to see the tall Texan stood in the door frame of the locker room, she wasn't quite sure how long she had been sat there, or how long she'd been crying, but apparently Nick noticed.

The case had been pretty easy to solve, husband was abusive and eventually killed her, just as she was ringing the police. It hit Sara hard, real hard. She got up and turned hoping nick hadn't noticed the tears and tried quickly to wipe them away, the picture she was holding dropped to the floor and she made no attempt to pick it up.

Nick walked over and stood in front of her and she collapsed into his arms. She needed this, Nick was the one person she could trust above anybody and right now she needed him.

'Hey nick? Could we go someplace to talk?' she asked her voice quivering.

'Sure Sara, anything you want' he bent down and picked up the picture and then guided her out of the locker room.

'You want some coffee' Nick called from his kitchen.

When she didn't reply he went and sat next to her on the couch, she leant against him just needing to feel that he was there.

'When I was little, I thought it was normal. My father was abusive; he was an alcoholic and abused my mother, brother and me. One night my mum snapped, but instead of taking us away, instead of just trying to give us a better life, she decided she'd stab him 36 times leaving her in jail and me and my brother separated in foster care. Granted I don't think it was a decision she thought out much'

'I'm sorry Sa…' Sara cut in

'Don't be, she wasn't'

She was now led against him with the tears rolling down her cheeks; she hated herself for crying like this. Nick wrapped his arms around her and gave her a tight hug.

'Sara, what happened must have been awful and I wouldn't wish it on anybody, least of all you, but what happened has made you, you. And you're something that I would never want to change, your perfect.' It pained him to see her like this, all he wanted to was to take her in his arms and tell her how much he loved her, but he couldn't he treasured there friendship too much to risk it.

As Sara led against him all she wanted to do was to tell him how much she loved him, but she knew he never saw her that way, she was just is friend, and that all she ever would be.

A/N okay so review please, im desperate to know if it's any good. I know not much has happened but it's 20 to 2 in the morning and I think that can be excused :-P
