YAY! Chapter 10!
Enjoy:
"Dad no!"
He hit her. Again and again. She screamed as Tyler rushed in and pulled their dad off of her. Tyler punched his father as Sara ran out of the house and right to Grissoms house. She knocked on the door and rang the door bell until Grissoms mother, Betty, opened the door. Sara saw Grissom wasn't in the living room so with out such a hello to Betty she ran up into his room and broke down in his arms.
"Sara, did your dad do this to you?"
"Yes! He's drunk, Tyler came in pulled him off of me and hit him so I ran out and all the way here!"
She cried in his arms as he grabbed his cell phone and called the police.
"Gil, she's gonna kill him!"
"Who is?"
"My mom!"
"What."
"9-1-1 what's you emergency?"
"My friend, she just ran five blocks from her house to mine. She's bleeding, not bad, but. He father hit her. He's been abusing her for years. She's scared her mothers gonna kill him. She's a Schizo."
"Alright what's her address?"
Grissom gave the operator her address and said that he had to help his friend so he hung up and took Sara into the bathroom and looked at her facial wounds.
"Sara, I can only dress the cuts you got fighting back. Other wise, you gotta go to the hospital princess."
"Gil please don't make me."
"Sara, I'm sorry. We can have Greg's mom drive us…"
"Does Greg live near by?"
"Right next door."
"Alright."
Grissom wrapped Sara's hands and they walked over to Gregs house.
"Hi Mrs. Sanders, I know its late but…"
"Sweetie what happened to your face?"
"That's why we're here. We need you to drive us to the hospital. She got in a fight with her dad and…"
"He hit you?"
Sara looked shyly as the ground and shook her head yes.
"Mom?"
Sara made a face, she didn't want all of her friends to know and having Greg being the first to see her, everyone would know that she was in the hospital in the next five minutes.
"Mrs. Sanders, could you please just give us a ride to the hospital."
"Sara," Greg asked confused.
Sara broke down again, hiding her face in Grissoms arms.
"Shh, Princess."
Grissom kissed her head and helped her calm down before anything major happened.
"Alright, come on. Gregory, pass me my purse and keys."
Greg grabbed his moms purse and keys before running over to her and giving them to her.
"Sara, are you okay?"
"Screw off Greg," Grissom said angrily.
"Greg go to bed," his mother commanded, but he instead gave her a face of disapproval.
"Gregory Hojem Sanders I said to go to bed!"
Greg rushed off, knowing that his full name was an indicator not to disobey. He ran up into his room and watched as his mother took off down the street with Sara and Grissom in the back seat.
One male, two female, all in the same family.
"Sara?"
"Tyler!"
"Sara, you'll be okay Dad is…."
That's all Tyler could say before Sara was rushed off to be taken care of. Less than an hour late, a doctor came out and called Tyler over, Tyler wouldn't let Grissom sit worried.
"Grissom, come on you can come with me."
"What?"
"Come on."
Tyler pulled the tall boy out of his seat and walked over to the doctor.
"So?"
"A broken arm, broken nose, and a few scrapes and bruises along with one fractured rib."
Both men sighed with relief but the worry came back to Tyler.
"What about my mom?"
"A few cuts, did your father ever try to fight back?"
"He got the knife out of her hand, got her a few times before she got it back and…"
"I'm sorry for your loss."
As the doctor walked away, Grissom looked at Tyler, surprised.
"Who di…."
"She killed him. My mom killed my father. I am not old enough to watch Sara, our mom's going away for a long time and even if Dad was alive, I wouldn't let him near her again."
"My mom, she's able to foster! My mom can foster, maybe even adopt Sara."
"What, really?"
"Yeah, just last year my mom fostered this girl named Clara."
"Grissom, I think you should see her first."
"Wha, really?"
"That or I could have judge Stokes get ready to adopt her…"
"I think she'd rather live with Nick than me. But I mean until Mr. Stokes gets his papers turned in I guess she could stay with us."
"Mr. Grissom Sara is so lucky to have a friend like you."
Grissom smiled and thanked Tyler before figuring out where Saras room was and heading down the hall and up the elevator to the ICU. He ran into her room and looked her in the eyes before she started crying. He ran to her side and comforted her.
"Gil, tell me what you know please! No one will tell me!"
"Sara, your dad is dead."
"Wha-what!"
"Your mom, she killed him."
"NO!"
"Sara, calm down."
"He's dead, Gil I have no where to go. My moms gonna go to jail, I have no god parents, Tyler can't take care of me! Where am I gonna go!"
"With me. I'm gonna talk to Mr. Stokes tomorrow, or Nick is. He's on his way over here with his dad and social services. Sara, for now my mom might be your legal guardian."
"Sara?"
"Nick…"
"Ms. Sidle."
"Mr. Stokes."
"I'm guessing your Sara Sidle and her boyfriend Gil Grissom?"
"Yes ma'am."
"The name's Kassidy. Call me Kassie."
"Hi Kassie."
"Mr. Grissom is your mother around?"
"No, but she loves Sara like a daughter."
"Can you call her?"
"That might be harder than you think."
"Why?"
"She's def. It takes a while."
"Could you please?"
"Nick…"
Nick ran over to Sara and hugged her tight.
"Ow, Nick."
"Oh god I'm sorry."
"Its alright."
"So Grissom filled you in?"
"He did, Nick I really do wanna live with you but…"
"But what?"
"I don't wanna intrusive."
"Sara, if you don't wanna live with me I'm sure my dad."
"Nicky, I can get anyone of your friends through the system fast. Sara can stay with Grissom, right Kass?"
"Yes, I am sure of it. Mr. Grissom can home Sara for a while."
"Sara," Mr. Stokes said, "Who do you really wanna live with?"
"I wanna live with Catherine. She's like a sister to me."
"And if Miss. Willows can take you in?"
"Then you Mr. Stokes."
"Alright. Do you wanna call Catherine?"
"No its late. She'll be sleeping."
"Alright, so when you are released, you will get to decide when you have visitation from your brother, he says he would love to have you over at the hotel he'll be staying at."
"Really?"
"Yes Sara, Tyler will really be glad to see you."
Sara smiled and looked at Grissom.
"I don't think I've seen you this happy in a while Sara."
"I haven't been this happy in a while."
"So, Ms. Sidle, tomorrow we will talk to Ms. Willows and find you a home."
"How long do you think I'll be waiting?"
"A day, a week maybe a month."
She smiled and looked at Grissom again.
"Thank you Mr. Grissom, Ms. Sidle. I'll be in touch."
Sara thanked her social worker, watched as she Nick and Nicks dad left, and looked at Grissom.
"So, are you happy?"
"Yeah, still a bit upset my dad's dead though."
Grissom sat next to Sara and wrapped his arm around her.
"Sara, your dad was a bad man."
"He was changed. It was one bad night Gil."
"Sara."
"I'm sorry, I can't."
She started tearing up.
"Sara."
Grissom leaned in and kissed her passionately as she slowly stopped silently crying.
"I'm sorry Gil. I, I'm just a bit upset."
"Its alright my Princess."
Hearing Grissom call her Princess, Sara felt better.
"Gil, can you stay here tonight please?"
"Sara, I will stay here with you every night until you get out. I will only leave for school, and then I will come right here after and have you help me with my home work."
"Alright Gil. Can you tell me something?"
"Of course."
"Did he give me a black eye?"
"He did. Sara."
"Gil, can you get the nurse?"
"Why what's wrong?"
"My head hurts, so does my eye."
"Alright. I'll be right back okay?"
"Okay."
He kissed her forehead and ran off down the hall to find a nurse. He came back 10 minutes later with the nurse and Tyler.
"Ty…"
"Sara, I'm sorry."
He wrapped her tight in his arms as she began to cry.
"So I'm guessing they filled you in on everything?"
"Y-yes."
"Sara, I'm sorry."
"Oh just shut your face."
Tyler laughed and said good bye to his sister before heading to a hotel.
"Gil?"
"Yes Sar?"
"Remember the first time we were here together?"
"On your 9th birthday?"
"Yeah, can you lay with me again?"
"Sara, you've gotten so much bigger since then."
"Please Grissom."
"Alright."
Grissom laid next to Sara and she fell asleep in his arms. Grissom quickly text his mom saying where he was and that he would be home the next morning to explain everything. Soon he had fallen sleep with her.
