Grissom woke up at 4:15 beside Laura and had a strange case of déjà vu. He tried to go back to sleep but couldn't, so he went downstairs to get himself a glass of water, seeing Sara in the kitchen in a tight tank top and shorts, he suddenly remembered his dream, although Sara was wearing just above the knee cut shorts instead of some hot pants.

Instead of walking forward and knocking the chair like in his dream he decided to just announce his presence by saying hello. Sara turned round and asked him why he was up so early.

"I couldn't get back to sleep so I just thought I would come and get a glass of water." Gil then asked why Sara was up and she just said the same, not knowing where the glasses were Gil asked Sara where they were and Sara opened up the cupboard and passed him one.

Much different to the dream instead of Sara standing right behind him she walked out the kitchen saying goodnight.

Why do I feel disappointed my dream didn't come true? I should be happy, especially as Laura is just upstairs and could have came down at any time and caught us, what am I thinking, Sara is making me feel something I haven't felt before. Maybe when Laura goes away it will me to get to know more about Sara and maybe I'll realise that I don't really feel the way I do about her. Yeah right, from the moment you looked in her eyes you felt something.

Gil shook the thoughts out of his head and headed back upstairs to try and go back to sleep before driving Laura to the airport.

In the morning Laura said goodbye to Sara and promised that she would call and see how everything was going, she kissed Sara goodbye and headed to the car. At the airport she gave Gil a kiss goodbye and gave him her number to contact if there is an emergency or if he just wanted to call and talk.

Gil drove back to Laura's house from the airport hoping to catch Sara before she left for college. Luckily Sara was still there, so Gil gave her his mobile number just in case she needed it. Gil drove Sara to college again saying that it was no trouble because it was on his way anyway, so they said their goodbyes and Sara asked Gil if he could come round later to keep her company and so she can ask some more questions about forensics.

"Okay, I will see you later then, I maybe a bit late coming over though as I have a lot of marking to do. Sara just said he could mark it round her house and he agreed.

Later that night Sara was reading a book on the couch when there was a knock at the door, expecting Gil she didn't look through the peephole so she just opened the front door.

"He..." she stopped as soon as she saw that it wasn't Gil.

"What are you doing here?" Sara asked.

"I just came to see how you were because I heard your mom was away and you're all alone" the boy said. Sara didn't like this guy, she thought he was a creep, as she was talking to him she was wishing that Gil would be over soon.

"Yeah well I'm fine; someone is coming over in a bit to keep me company, so bye".

As Gil pulled up at the house he noticed Sara at the door talking to that guy from college, he thought he would just stay in the car until she was done talking because otherwise it would look a bit bad with her mother gone and some man in his mid thirties to go into the house. Sara was just about to shut the door on the guy who's name was Michael but he put his foot in the way to stop it from shutting, he then grabbed her arms and pinned her just to the inside wall

"GET OFF ME!" Sara shouted, Gil seeing all of this ran out of the car and run up to the house, he then dragged the guy off of Sara and punched him in the face.

"I believe she doesn't want you here no GO!" as soon as Gil said that the boy ran off and he walked up to Sara and asked if she was ok. "Yeah I'm fine" she said just blinking back the tears.

Gil could tell she wasn't ok so he lead her over to the couch and sat her down, he then checked the marks on her wrist, not too bad but they would bruise. He then walked into the kitchen to get Sara a drink "Thanks" she said, and then a moment later she let the tears fall.

Gil sat by her and put his arm round her so she could snuggle up to him and kept repeating "It's ok you're safe now, I'm here." Sara soon quietened down and her breathing was more relaxed. Gil noticed that she had fallen asleep in his arms and started to stroke her hair. Not wanting to wake her up Gil picked up Sara and carried her to her bed.

However as soon as Gil had tucked Sara in her bed and went to leave, she gripped his arm and asked him not to leave. Gil said that she wouldn't be alone tonight and that he'd be just downstairs on the couch but Sara said

"No I don't want to be alone up here, please just lay with me, you make me feel safe." So Gil lay down on top of the covers next to Sara having to push all his other thoughts out of his head and just focus on calming her and letting her feel safe.

Sara soon snuggled into him and as soon as she felt safe enough, she slipped back off to sleep.

Gil couldn't sleep though he just kept thinking I can't believe I'm even laying down on her bed, its hard not to get under the covers and snuggle up to her, I was so scared when they boy grabbed hold of her I just knew I had to protect her. I don't think I will be able to stop my emotions soon, I think I'm in love with her, but it will wreck her relationship with her mom, although I don't even know she feels the same way. Maybe in a few days if I come over and if the situation arises I might kiss her to see what her response will be.

With that thought he fell asleep right next to Sara.
