Thank everyone for all the reviews! Wow! =)
Wow, I'm sorry it took me this long to update. I've been REALLY busy with work, preparing for the baby (it's a gonna be a girl) as well as my car being in the shop (still is)
Ummm, please review? That's pretty much it.
Calleigh set her keys down on the bedside table of her apartment. God she was glad the day was over. The thoughts of Stetler and Eric and…last night kept on playing over and over in her mind. She wished she could just turn that part of her mind off. Unlucky for her her mind wasn't like a light switch.
She felt glass underneath her feet. Looking down she felt like just screaming at the world. Jake. Jake had been here and once again came to her empty apartment. Probably came in the middle of the night when she and Eric were doing…certain activities. She wondered how she didn't see it that morning. Instead of screaming, she ran her hand across her face and sighed.
"Why me?" she looked up at the ceiling. She knew it was a useless thought. Anyone would tell her that it could happen to anyone at any random time. Why did she have to go out last night? Her and Eric's lives were changed forever and it couldn't be reversed.
She took a step forward and walked down the hall and turned to the right. Her bed in the middle was left unmade. Jake once again stayed at her apartment while she was gone. He probably thought she was working late again. She hoped that was true.
But something didn't feel right.
She laid down on the bed. Something smelled off. Like…she didn't want to go further into that thought. She sat right up on the bed, the sudden amount of energy knocking her off the bed. The energy she was feeling was from the anger and sadness of it all. Now she wanted nothing more to do but burn the bed in front of her. Jake cheated on her, in her bed.
That's when she screamed. A scream that could make anyone's blood turn to ice. Calleigh Duquesne never screamed. No matter how fed up with the world she had gotten. But tonight was different. Tonight she completely lost it. She lost it with Jake. She lost it with herself. All these years she watched either witnessing a murder or having someone close to them die destroys people's lives.
She blamed herself for John's death. For Speed's death. Now it was her turn. Her turn to lose it. To have her life go wrong.
She had to get out of her room. Out of her apartment. She had to get away from everything that reminded her of Jake. She wanted to get away from CSI. Away from Miami. Forever. Calleigh wasn't going to think this through. She was just gonna get up and leave. She wanted to go somewhere where no one will ever look for her. Someplace quiet and small. A place where she could just start over. That's what she needed.
But in life, you only get one deck of cards. If you play them right, then you have a pretty good chance you won't screw up. Well, Calleigh thought her life was screwed up ever since she was a child, she kept a happy façade so people wouldn't expect such a gloomy childhood coming from a vibrant woman.
She thought of where she was gonna go. Where she was gonna live. She knew she would be able to find work there. The only thing she wasn't anticipating was how much her life will still be changed no matter how far away she goes. How far she goes from everything she loves and loved about Miami.
Calleigh got up abruptly and looked around. She then ran into the bathroom. She looked at her reflection for a long while. She was pale, or fair skinned if you would rather it put that way. She had green eyes that used to be bright and shining. Now they were dull. Her long blond hair was slightly messed up and knotted.
Moving would change everything. She hoped it would be for the best. Where she was gonna go is a place where no one knows her. She would actually stay in law enforcement. She would just be a homicide detective. No more CSI. She sighed and leaned back against the wall and slid down it. This was going to change her life forever. Again she was hoping for the best.
She had no idea that she was going to fall asleep right there in a sitting position.
The next thing she knew was an annoying chirping coming from her bedroom. Her alarm clock. This was the day she was going to turn in her resignation letter to Horatio. Then she'd make it up from there.
She got up and stripped and began her usual routine. Her days were numbered at CSI now. She placed her head on the wall, "I'm leavin'," she told herself. She was finally leaving.
Calleigh felt herself smile as she pushed off the wall and finished her shower before she finished getting ready.
I'm sorry that's a short chapter and I know there's a lot being put out now. Don't worry, Eric's still gonna be in this and things are gonna (at least I hope) get more interesting.
I'm currently stuck on Tested Love. As soon as I get an idea and think it through, It'll be updated. I already have ideas on it, but I don't know how to get to them. That's always the tricky part about writing.
I'm also very excited about 7x14. I REALLY wish I hadn't read anything about it. It's driving me insane (Not by much, I'm already insane).
Well, bye and review por favor. They're seriously like pistachios; you can't get enough of 'em. This comment is for the girls, "They're like men with accents, you can't get enough of 'em." (trust me, the high school girls I work with are enamoured with my husband's accent)
