A/N: Sorry it's taken so long to post this chapter, it's been hectic around here. Hope you enjoy! There will be one more after this so it isn't the end yet. Thanks to everyone who has been reveiwing this one! Ps. The song is Save You by Simple Plan

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there's so many things

I want you to know

I won't give up till it's over

If it takes you forever

I want you to know

Greg couldn't stand the way Grissom was staring at him, it was unnerving and he knew Grissom was disappointed in him and that was one thing Greg never wanted to see held in his eyes.

"They won't let you come back until you get a physiological evaluation, you could lose your job over this Greg."

"I know." He whispered.

"I just don't understand it Greg."

"You wouldn't." Greg mumbled turning away from his supervisor thankful the restraints had been removed.

"You may not think I'm atoned to anything but work and that may be true most of the time but I can also see when one of my employees is breaking."

"You just want your damn results, this isn't about me."

"You're wrong about that Greg, you're more important than you think and it's not because of DNA."

"Just go Grissom; I've already had Nick on my case."

"And speaking of Nick you don't give him enough credit."

"Credit for what?"

"The depths of his feelings for you."

"I highly doubt it."

"Doubt if you may Greg, but he can surprise you."

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Yes Greg, Nick will be picking you up later because your nurse said they would be releasing you today. I'll be in touch to schedule your evaluation."

"I don't need to be babysat."

"Apparently you do Greg, good day."

"Smug bastard." Greg muttered as he watched Grissom walk away. He had really truly hit rock bottom and he wasn't sure just how he was going to overcome this.

Nick had never experienced a more uncomfortable car ride than this. Greg hadn't said two words to him since he picked him up from the hospital. He kind of expected it though, because of course Greg would blame him for saving him.

"This isn't my house Nick."

"You actually think I'm going to let you out of my sight."

"I don't need a damn babysitter."

"Apparently you do."

"Take me to my house."

"Not a chance Greggo."

"This is none of your business Nick, just stay out of it."

"No, look I met this guy and he is not worth you trying to kill yourself over."

"You don't know anything."

"I know more than you think."

"Whatever." Greg snorted.

"Like it or not Greg Grissom gave me a week off to watch over you and make sure you go to your appointments so you're staying here."

"Do I have a say in this?"

"No."

"This isn't fair."

"Fair? It's not fair that you think you're life is worthless."

"Nick…"

"You're staying here Greg, it's not a choice." Greg didn't say anything else; he would let Nick stew, maybe all he needed was rest to get away from all that had happened in the past 24hrs.

"You mean you're ok with it?"

"Duh Greggy, you'll always be my best friend." Suddenly the scene changed and Greg found himself pushed up against the wall a hand on his throat.

"You're just a fag Greg, that's all you'll ever be." The voice seethed as the hand squeezed harder.

"Please Danny let me go…"

"Not until I show what it's like to be a dirty fag like you."

"No Danny, stop…"

"You'll see Greg, see what it's like." He could feel the air leaving him, escaping as his life force fell away.

"Danny…" Those piercing blue eyes were the last things he saw as the world fell to black.

"Greg…Greg…wake up." He blinked and was met with soft brown eyes not the blue ones of Danny.

"Nick?"

"It's me G."

"Where am I?"

"My house, you were having a nightmare."

"Oh."

"It's going to be ok Greg."

"Don't try and lie to me Nick."

"I'm not."

"Why won't you just let me wallow in my misery? I'm not going to try it again."

"Because Greg unlike your friend Danny I actually give two shits about you, but if that's what you want fine, I'll take you home, excuse me for caring."

"Nick…"

"No I'm going to say this just once so you better listen. Danny Tyler? I met him, he's not worth your time, and he's never been worth your time or your affections. Maybe if you'd open your eyes and stop being a stupid selfish idiot you would see that there are people who love you Greg and if you had succeeded I don't know what I would have done, it would have killed me."

"Nick…."

"If you're going to go, just go."

"Fine." Nick watched him go and wished to God Greg wasn't so damn stubborn, but he had not control he just hoped Greg would be ok. It was useless to fight when Greg didn't even want help.

His house was cold and empty and the bathroom still had blood on the floor from where Nick had found him. He shut the door as he walked by; he couldn't go in there, not yet. Nick's words kept echoing around in his head and he knew he shouldn't have left like that, but he didn't need to be babied. His message machine was blinking and he wondered who could have called, he hoped it wasn't his mother, she would have a cow if she found out he tried to commit suicide.

"So I've been in Vegas less than a week and you already try to kill yourself? Yeah I found out, I know things. How pathetic, maybe it would be better for a dirt fag like you, maybe next time you'll actually succeed."

Greg felt the bile rising at Danny's hurtful words and wondered how could this be the same person who told him so long ago he was ok with it.

"Come back Greg…I didn't mean for you to go, I didn't mean to blow up at you like I did, it's just…I care about you and you're hurting because of some asshole who can't see just how amazing you are…just…I don't know just don't give up, because I haven't."

Greg closed his eyes, letting the tears fall as he erased Danny's message and replayed Nick's again. Nick was right, he had been right all along Danny was never even good enough for him, not even as a friend. And now he had almost pushed away the one person who was, he wasn't going to let that happen, not today, not ever.

Five hours later and still no call from Greg, he promised himself he wouldn't go over there, but he couldn't help but be worried. He almost didn't hear the knock on the door, and he wondered who would be at his door this late.

"Greg?" He was soaked to the bone as the rain still poured and Nick ushered him in wanting to get him dry quickly. "Come on you need to get dry."

"Wait Nick I need to say this."

"What?"

"I've done a lot of thinking and pushed away a lot of my demons tonight. You're right Danny was never worth killing myself over and I got caught in feeling sorry for myself when there was always someone who cared about me. I just too lost in my love for Danny to see it. I see it now, I see you and I'm ok just yet, but I need you to help be whole Nick, can you do that?" His hands were shaking, and his voice was quivering and he was pretty sure he started to cry, but he didn't care Nick needed to know how he felt.

"Anything Greg, I help you do anything." Nick said as he choked up pulling Greg to him wrapping him up in a tight hug never wanting to let go.

"I'm so sorry Nick…."

"It's ok baby, it'll be ok we'll get through this together." Greg nodded and raised his head up to look in Nick's eyes and he saw nothing but love there, something he had looked for in Danny's eyes but never found. Danny was now just a memory as Nick's lips met his and he knew he would be ok.

If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up
Cause I'll be waiting if you fall
You know I'll be there for you
