Chapter 20
Sara broke the inevitable silence that had settled around them.
'Who are you?'
'Umm, my name is Gil Gris..'
'Don't give me the auto pilot answer, tell me who you are, what you like, why I have this feeling that I know you, even though the other three people who were in here are complete strangers. Who are you?'
Grissom paused for a moment.
'Sara.I...' Grissom's thoughts flooded back to their time together over the past few days.
~~~~~ 'Since you won't tell me why you left, I can't figure out what this guy is trying to tell you.'
'He's telling me he knows my secrets, that he has control and power.'
'You're still not going to tell me about Justin?'
'No'
'Alright', Grissom knew it was pointless to keep arguing with Sara, 'The spare bedroom is down that hall on the right, get some sleep Sara.'
'Goodnight Grissom.' ~ I was starting to get worried. She had insisted I stay in the car, she'd be angry if I came up. Oh well, I'm bound to piss her off today, it might as well be now.
'Sara'.
Even though her back was turned I can see that she is shaking and I can hear her almost silent sobs. Slowly, I walked up and put MY arms around her. At first she froze, then she realized who it was and allowed herself to be comforted.
'It's ok, I'm not going to let anything happen to you, it's ok.' Sara didn't stop crying, but she turned around to face me. She buried her head in my chest and slowly the shaking lessened. I gently stroked her hair, noticing the smoothness of it.
'It's ok, everything's ok'. ~ 'What did he mean about the way Justin treated you?'
'Justin had a temper. He was fairly..volatile.'
'He hit you, didn't he?' ~ 'Sara, Sara, are you ok in there.' Go away she sobbed silently.
'Come on, talk to me.'
'No, go away, get away.'
'You can trust me.' Grissom listened closely to the door.
'No, not again, not again Justin.'
What? Oh God, she's having flashbacks, thought Grissom, and she was locked in a bathroom.
'Sara, open the door or I'm going to break it down.' Great Grissom, she already thinks you're Justin, no need to go fuelling the fire. But I don't have much choice, I can't leave her in there, she could do anything.
'Sara, Sara, it's ok. It's me, he can't hurt you.' ~ Just as he turned to head back though, Sara appeared at his door. He instantly felt guilty for leaving her. He had made a promise.
'Sara, I am so sorry. I got a call from..' Before he could even finish his sentence Sara had run up to him and held him in a strong embrace. He slowly responded and wrapped his arms around her.
This feels so right, to hold her like this. I always thought, if it ever happened, if I ever reached out to her, that it would be awkward and uncomfortable. But it isn't, it is perfect, she is perfect, no they are perfect He knew he would never forget this moment, he wanted it to last forever. He couldn't stand the thought of her pulling away. ~ 'You know you can trust me right?'
'Yes'
'Don't lie to me.' Sara walked away from him No, please don't tell me I'm losing her
Sara took a deep breath in, and turned to face Grissom from the other side of the room.
'I love you Grissom.' Both of them were startled by this admission.
'I love you too, but do you trust me?'
'I want to. And most of me trusts you with my life, the logical part does, even most of the emotional part. But there is that little bit of me that can't help but think- there was a time when I would have trusted Justin with my life, there was a time when I loved him too.' Grissom didn't know what to say to that. How do I answer that? I love her, and she's telling me she loves me, but she can't trust me, will she ever be able to trust me? How can I ever get her to trust me? Or would to even try be to fight a losing battle? There as to be something I can do. We'll deal with these problems together, and hopefully she'll learn to trust me. ~~~~~~~~
Grissom snapped back from his memories, the ones she didn't have. He looked around the hospital, the formality - how he and Sara used to act around each other, and he realized that he couldn't go back to how they were. If she was ever going to love him, he had to be honest with her.
'Sara, I love you. We've only been..together for well, not long.and nothing formal but, you have told me that you love me..you loved me.'
Sara didn't really hear anything past "Sara, I love you". She stared into the man's eyes. She gazed at their almost impossible blue shade, they were so different to hers in colour, yet so similar to hers in impact. We're similar, but different - we're perfect.
She hadn't responded and Grissom was losing his nerve.
'I'll give you some privacy if you want, Sara. I'm not expecting anything and I understand if you've changed your mind.'
With that Grissom stole one last glace at his love and headed towards the door..
She realized she had to say something, she realized that he needed to know that she still had those feelings, even if she couldn't remember why.
'Grissom, I know you, I love you...and I trust you.'
With that sentence she had conquered the toughest hurdle in their relationship. No matter what had happened in her life, he was the only person that mattered. Not Justin or Felton. Just them.
Grissom's breath remained stuck in his throat. He sprinted back to her bedside and gave her the most passionate, sensual, caring kiss that either one of them had ever experienced.
That kiss acted like a flood gate in her mind. The images of him came flooding back. Their first meeting at Harvard, that phone call that brought her here.and their first kiss.
She remembered why she loved him, why she couldn't live without him
So does this story continue with the aftermath etc, or do I leave it here? Its up to you.You have the power...*(hiding now)* and email me at aussie_chick@email.com if you can help with the "Viola" monologue (tips etc) it's a long shot but what the hell! R+R plz
