Hey guys, I'm soo sorry it took me forever to post the next chapter, but school and real life interrupted, not to mention that writer's block kept popping up when I sat down to type this, and I'm not that happy with it, but oh well
By the way, if anyone's wondering, it's 11:30 where I live :P
Disclaimer: haha, if i owned CSI Miami, I would not be writing fanfiction
oh and this chapter is dedicated to truelovechick77, who helped me come up with the plot I'm running with for now thank you sooo much!!!
Once her father was gone, Calleigh sank to the ground against the wall, and pulled her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her head on her knees while for the first time in countless years, cried.
She was crying because she knew that her father would just end up hurt once again, and she would be the one who had to pick up the pieces of his broken heart and do her best to fix it, because her mom would be long gone, and her brothers already were.
That night, Calleigh cried herself to sleep, like she had all those years ago, in Louisiana.
---
The bright Miami sun found Calleigh sleeping in her front hallway and slowly crept up her face through the window until it reached her eyes, which slowly opened at the sudden bright light.
Calleigh didn't want to go into work that day, but knew that she couldn't live with herself if she called in sick. So, Cal got up, groaning at the pain in her neck.
As Calleigh got her got ready to take a shower, she kept thinking 'Why, why, why does my mother have to come?! Why do I have to let her take over my house?! Why can't she live with her daddy, after all he is her husband?!'
Calleigh snapped out of her thoughts when the doorbell rang. 'Now what?!' Calleigh thought as she went to answer the door, making sure her robe was tightly tied around her waist. Calleigh didn't bother to look through the peep hole in the door, but when she looked up, she wished she had.
At the door stood the man she was in love with and had been for nearly seven years. This man was her best friend, but every night she dreamed that he was much more! Yes, this man was her colleague and best friend in the entire world, Eric Delko.
But this time as Calleigh looked at him, she could see something in his eyes that she couldn't see before…she had no idea what it was, but she guessed, no hoped that it was love. Oh how she prayed every night that he'd notice her, well as more than a friend…
'But not now, I can't think like that, not now anyway… No Calleigh', she chastised herself, 'He's your best friend, and he's here at, what time is it anyway?'
As if Eric could read her thoughts, he suddenly cleared his throat, and said "Cal, I know it's just after 7:30, but I had something to ask you…outside of work…" he trailed off, as he reached the end of his sentence, suddenly nervous. He figured it might have to do with the fact that she was staring at him so intently with those green eyes, which he always got lost in… 'No, Eric, don't get sidetracked, you're here on a mission, and the fact that she is in a bathrobe…that definitely hugs her in all the right places…STOP IT Eric! Get a grip man, and tell her what you came here to tell her!'
Eric cleared his throat again, but before he could say anything, Calleigh invited him inside.
"So Eric, um…what did you want to ask me?" Calleigh said. 'Oh my goodness, he's gonna tell me he doesn't like me or that he's moving or something terrible.' Calleigh thought to herself, instinctively crossing her arms to protect herself.
Eric took a deep breath and decided to come out with it. "Calleigh I…"
