Thanks for all the reviews! I don't own anything for the full disclaimer
please see chapter 2. Thanks. Sorry about the long delay of this chapter
and I promise the chapters will start getting longer.
Nick was just outside Sara's apartment when he heard a thud. The bad feeling that he was in the pit of his stomach made him want to throw up. He knocked on her door, but was not expecting her to answer.
After about one minute of waiting for Sara to answer, he decided to go and check the windows to see if there was a way in so he would not have to bust open the door. As he looked in all of her windows he realized that this was taking way too long. He came around to the door and kicked it in.
Sara was completely unconscious by the time Nick reached her.
"Sara, Sara, are you okay? Oh my gosh Sara please wake up. Please, Sara!"Nick was yelling.
Suddenly Sara's neighbor, who had heard all of the noise Nick was making, came running in. "What the heck is going on in here?" he asked.
Nick quickly yelled for him to call an ambulance.
The neighbor did as he was told, and got some towels for Sara's head wound. Nick took the towels and put pressure on the wound. All the time he keep saying, "Please, I need you Sara, please stay here with me. You don't know how much I need you."
As the paramedics loaded Sara into the ambulance, Nick asked if he could come with her.
"I'm sorry, sir. Only family I'm afraid." The paramedic responded.
"But..."Nick started.
"I'm sorry, sir. We really need to go. You can meet us at the hospital though." With that the paramedic hopped into the ambulance and they were gone.
Nick watched sadly as they drove off, but suddenly realized what he needed to do. He had to go and meet them at the hospital. He had to be there for Sara.
Sara was thinking of all the things that had happened to her in her life. One of the moments that she kept remembering was all the times she had spent with Nick.
I ruined it, she kept realizing as she remembered all these moments. I am going to wake up and he is not going to be here. Or he is going to realize all the problems I have and he will hate me. He will never want to see me or even know me any more.
Nick was talking to the doctor. The doctor had told him that she had taken something. It had a very bad side effect and caused her to pass out. When she passed out she must have hit her head on something. Thus causing the head wound.
"She is stabilized and resting peacefully in her room. We gave her some medication so that when she wakes up, she will not be in too much pain. You can go in if you would like. But remember not to stay for too long. She needs her rest."
"Thank you Doctor." Nick said this and then hurried off into Sara's room.
As soon as he walked in there he noticed that Sara looked the most peaceful he had seen her all night. He also noticed how beautiful she looked.
I have to find out why she left so early. I have to find out what is wrong with her, Nick thought to himself. What happened to her? I just don't understand any of this.
Nick decided that he should sit down. He decided to move the chair closer to her bed. As he got settled in the chair he took Sara's hand.
Sara felt something. It was something pulling her back to reality.
I don't want to open my eyes, Sara thought. I don't want to know what happened. I don't want to know where I am. I just want for everything to end.
However, she remembered all those great times she had with Nick. I can't just let everything end like this. I can't do this just for me; I can't just walk away from this and everything out. That isn't fair to him.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. She saw that she was in a hospital room. She saw Nick sitting there holding her hand. He hadn't seen her eyes open.
Wow. I really hadn't expected to see him here, she thought. I can't believe this. After everything I did, he is here with me now.
Sara decided to let Nick know that she was awake. She squeezed his hand lightly. All of a sudden Nick's eyes moved to see if she was awake.
"Sara! You're awake. How are you feeling? Are you okay? Do you need anything? What happened?"
"Nick slow down. I'm fine and no I do not need anything, not right now anyway. But I do have a few questions for you."
"Okay, what?" Nick noticed that she had deliberately not answered his last question, but decided to ignore that for right now. Maybe she does not want to talk about it yet.
"How did I get here?" Sara asked, she had remembered everything leading up to blacking out. However, she did not know how she ended up in the hospital.
Nick proceeded to tell her about how he had felt that something wasn't right and then went to her apartment. When she hadn't answered her door, he told her how he knocked it in and then found her on the floor.
"Wow."
"Sara, do you want me to call anyone. I mean should I tell the rest of the gang you are hurt and that I have seen you? You know they are worried about you. I mean none of us have seen you in the past six months."
"No, please don't. Not right now. I will probably won't you to later, but not right now."
"Okay then."
Just as Nick said this, the Doctor walked in and said that he should go.
"I'll be back later Sara."
"Okay, thanks for being here."
As Nick left, Sara started thinking about all that has happened in the past twenty-four hours. She also thought of how Nick had been there for her. How could I have let things get so out of hand. I don't understand this at all.
Nick was thinking of the events of the last twenty-four hours as well. He however, was confused about a lot of things. Especially what had Sara taken that had knocked her out. Was that why she had decided to see me for the first time in six months?
I have to tell someone, was Nick's immediate reaction. Maybe someone could help me sort this out.
As Nick was thinking about what to do, his phone started ringing.
"Stokes... oh hey Cath, what's up?"
"Sorry to call you on such sort notice, but we need you here Nicky. Big case just came up, and well days is too busy."
"Okay, I'll be there in five minutes."
As Nick hung up the phone a thought ran across his mind. I know Sara told me not to tell anyone, but maybe Catherine will know what to do.
By the time Nick had reached the lab, he decided he would talk to Catherine about the situation. However, he had to do it at the right time and he didn't want anyone else to over hear their talk.
"Hey Cath!" Nick said as he entered the break room where Catherine was sitting.
"Yeah, what's up?" She asked him.
"I need to talk to you later. Its important, but I don't want anyone to over hear us."
"Okay, how about we grab some breakfast after sift?"
"That sounds great."
Nick walked out of the break room. As he walked out Catherine was completely confused at what Nick wanted to talk about. But didn't have long to her thoughts before she had to go back to work.
Please review! I promise I will try to get the next chapter up much sooner.
