Thanks for the reviews! I would like to say I am just writing for fun and
am not getting anything for it. The characters do not belong to me either.
And just for your information, the italicized scene is a flashback. Hope
you enjoy.
"Umm... how about we see this one?" Sara silently thinks to herself what is this movie about anyway. Oh well too late we are already buying the tickets.
"That sounds great." Wow, I never expected her to see this. She definitely has changed in the last six months.
"Should we get anything to snack on? Popcorn? Candy? Drink?" Nick asked.
"I think I want some..."
"Shock tarts." Nick said for her.
"You still remember that." How impressive Sara thought. It has been six months and he still remembers my favorite candy.
"Of course I still remember that. You only got Shock Tarts every single chance you could."
"The movie is starting in five minutes, we should pay for all this stuff and go in."
"Good idea, let's go."
"That was a pretty good movie, considering." Sara said as they were walking out.
"Yeah, I thought it was great. All the action." Nick added.
"Of course you thought it was great. You guys are all alike. It's all about the action to you.
"Okay, okay. So what do you want to do now? We could go get some coffee and catch up maybe."
"You know what that actually sounds like a good idea. And while we are at it you can catch me up on what has been going on at the lab since I have been gone."
"Alright well I will do that only if you tell me what you have been doing since you left. And.."
"You want to know why I left, don't you?"
"Well of course I do. I mean it was just really kind of random that we walk into the break room and you announce that you won't be coming back and that we are through. No explanation, just that you are sorry. Then you just say goodbye and walk out."
"I don't think you would understand but, I guess if you catch me up I might consider telling you why I left." As Sara was thinking this she decided that if he really wanted to know why she left and all the details she would just make them up. He doesn't need to know the truth. Nor will he want to know the truth. I cannot let him find out.
"Great. So should we get going?" Nick finally asked her.
"Of course, let's go." Sara said, although she wasn't to sure that this was going to be as fun as she thought it was going to be.
All of my problems started when I realized that everything was too much. I can't handle anything. I love my job, but sometimes it is just too much. I love the people I work with, but yet sometimes I just can't stand to be around them. And then there is Nick. I love being around him. Having his arms around me. However the thing is that sometimes I just feel that it is too much. It is as though he isn't listening to me. It is as if no one is listening to me. I just need a way out.
"Sara are you okay?" Nick asked. He had been sitting there watching her stare off into space for about fifteen minutes now.
"What? Oh yeah I'm fine. Sorry just a little tired I guess. Go on keep telling me about everyone." She responds after realizing she had drifted off into her own little world. Trying to come up with a possible story for the question that she knew was coming.
"Well as I was saying Greg is his crazy self, as usual. Although he has actually found a girl that he hasn't scared away. Warrick keeps working his butt off. I guess trying to keep his mind off gambling. We are all happy for him, it seems like he is finally recovering, at least for now anyway. But it is a day at a time process. Then Catherine, well she is working as hard as any of us, if not harder, although she has earned a vacation coming up with Lindsey. I think that she is taking her to the beach. She keeps saying Lindsey has wanted to go there for years, and well now they finally have the chance. And I guess that leaves Grissom. Well, he is staying in his keeping to himself state. But he is going with Lindsey and Catherine to the beach. Only because Lindsey insisted, well according to Cath."
"Wow, it seems as though the gang is getting along great."
"Yeah we are. But the only thing is that we all still miss you. Okay, now that I told you about everyone, it is your turn to tell me why you left."
Sara takes a deep breath, and then prepares to tell Nick the lie she had been practicing in her mind over and over the whole time he was talking.
