I ran though the hospital doors and to the desk where a lady glanced up at me quickly. "Sara- Sara Sidle." I said shakily. A felt like I had a lump in my throat, it was never going to end, this nightmare. Please god let her be alright!
"She's in the ER right now. Please take a seat." The lady said to be calmly and looked back to the computer.
"I need to know, is she alright?" I asked quickly.
The lady glanced back up at me again annoyed. "I can not release that information. We have no word of what is going on right now. I will let you know as soon as I find out." She scowled.
I walked away rubbing my head nervously. How would I bear without her? This was my fault. She shouldn't be here, I should have been the one to get shot..not her. She didn't deserve this. My mind continued to wander as I paced along the hall. Finally sitting down I put my head in my hands and heard a familiar voice.
"Nick! Oh my god! Where is she? What happened?" Catherine asked franticly as she rushed in beside Grissom who held a blank expression on his face.
Looking up I wiped my eyes but the tears were still there. Along with the dank stains that were burned upon my cheeks. Catherine gazed down at me.
"Nick..she is ok? Isn't she.." Catherine whispered. I didn't reply not knowing what to say. I couldn't reply. I was solemn. She sat down beside me watching me carefully. Grissom sat down on my other side.
"What happened, Nick?" Grissom asked staring down at me, his eyes burning into my flesh. I didn't respond.
"Nick tell us what happened?!" Catherine cried a few tears welled in the corner of her eyes.
I stood up and walked away not acknowledging them. I couldn't. Everything was a blur. What was wrong with me? This cant be happening. Please god let Sara be alright.
I couldn't tell them what happened. I couldn't. Something wouldn't let me. I won't let myself give up. Not now..Not ever. I headed down the hall sinking my hands deep into my jean pockets my head down. I heard someone following me.
"God dam nit Nick, is Sara OK!?" She cried a few tears falling down her cheeks. I spun around angrily.
"NO CATHERINE!! SHE'S NOT!" I yelled my face, red with anger. Tears continued to fall. Why wouldn't they stop? Grissom watched as Catherine fell back shocked. I never screamed at her. I never told her something so harsh. It felt good to.
Turning back around away from them I made my way down the hall not sure where I was going. I couldn't comprehend anything that was going on. The only thing I understood was that Sara was hurt, it didn't look good.
Reading a few labels over the door I stopped a second as my eyes scanned over the word, "Chapel" Nodding to myself I walked in, immediately, being carried away by the aroma of candles.
