A/N- I don't own CSI NY.
Lindsay turned her key in the door and burst into her apartment. The door slammed against the wall and closed over itself again.
She stood, the blind panic driving her. She ripped off her dress and got changed into some clothes. She ran into her bedroom, and pulled out a large red suitcase she kept under bed.
The tears began to flow like a never ending river. As she put clothes and other things into the suitcase, her heart began to shatter into tiny pieces, scattering and falling all around her. Her whole world was crashing to the ground, along with her tears. Why did you get yourself into this mess?
She reached for the letter, stared at Danny's handwriting and let a severe sob rip from her lungs and into the silent room. She couldn't bear to part with it. She set it in the suitcase, and zipped it up. She then lifted a pen and some paper, and scribbled a hasty letter back to Danny's. She sealed it, and lifted the suitcase again.
She walked slowly to the door, her suitcase in her arms. She looked around at her apartment, one final time, at her home. She turned, and walked away. Away from her life, her problems, the mess she'd made, and the hurt she caused.
As she got in her car, she knew she wouldn't be back for a while.
Danny's ears perked up when he heard some footsteps outside his door. They stopped for a few moments, and her heard them walk away again. He sank back into the couch, and rubbed his face. He had never felt so depressed in his life. His heart was now just an empty void; he had nothing, because Lindsay was everything to him. And he had lost her forever. He himself felt lost. Lost in a sea of blackness, were no one could save him. Another dark wave of depression washed over him, pulling deeper into the black. It engulfed him. He was sinking into the merciless abyss, an endless void of depression.
His heart couldn't take it. He broke down.
A torrent overhead lashed down on to the car windows. In the distance, another deep roll of thunder rumbled through the sky. Lindsay was sobbing silently to herself. She had know idea were she was going, or when she was coming back. She had to runaway, she didn't know any other form of escape from this terrifying nightmare.
She had left the letter stuck to Danny's door, before walking out on her life.
The silence in the car was causing her pain. She reached for the radio, and turned it on. Immediately, Coldplay's The Scientist played through the speakers. She listened to the words as she drove endlessly through the storm.
"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry," came to her ears.
The letter swam back into her mind again.
She continued to listen, certain lines standing out from the song:
"Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard."
"I know our relationship was complicated, but nobody said it was going to be easy,"
A quiet sob interrupted the song.
"And tell me you love me, come back and hold me."
Instead she was walking out on him, leaving him behind. Leaving all her friends because of her mess. But she knew she would see them again someday.
"I'm goin' back to the start."
This is what this was. A new start, until she has healed. She knew in her heart that this was the only way. She just hoped all her friends understood too. She had left a note for them too, back at the lab. She just hoped with all her heart, that Danny would wait for her. She loved him more than anything, and she knew that he loved her too. She didn't know when she would be back, or how long she would be gone for. All she knew, was that one day she would be home again, in his arms.
A/N- That's it, the end!
I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, their support was fantastic.
