A/N: Hey Guys!!! Ok I keep getting stumped on this story, but I finally got some ideas. If you ever get writer's block I suggest you listen to music it will get your mind working. Or at least it did for me. Enjoy!!! And please review.
Grissom stared through the window of his CSI's room. Nick looked horrible. He was unrecognizable.
Grissom couldn't help but feel guilty for what happened to Nick. He had known Nick was tired from the tough case he had had the night before, but he called him into work anyway, and this is what happened.
Grissom was startled when a hand squeezed his shoulder. He turned around and saw Sara standing there.
"Nick will be ok," she said. Making him wonder if she could read minds, she added, "It's not your fault."
Grissom sighed and turned back to the window. Sara glanced worriedly at him. She knew this was tough for him, it was tough for all of them, but he didn't usually get emotionally involved, even if it was one of his team.
Grissom continued watching Nick, hoping he would wake up right then and there, but he knew he probably wouldn't.
A nurse walked out of the room and over to him. "You can go in now if you want, just be careful of his wounds," the nurse informed them.
Grissom and Sara walked into the room. They cringed at the sight of the machines positioned all around the bed.
They walked up to the bed and sat down in the chairs. Grissom looked at Nick. His young CSI was lying limply on the bed, he looked so helpless. Grissom saw the bandages on his head. From the shapes under the blanket, it appeared he had bandages covering most of his body.
Sara watched her boss silently. She could tell he was holding back tears. This wasn't the Grissom she knew. This one had emotions. He had changed over the last two hours.
Grissom grasped Nick's hand and willed him to open his eyes. He waited for about ten minutes just sitting there, but nothing happened. Grissom got up, to pained to sit and watch Nick lay there motionless.
He walked outside, soon followed by Sara. Without a word they left to get some coffee.
Warrick saw them leave and got up to see Nick. He entered the room and stopped at the sight of Nick hooked up to a bunch of machines. He stared at them warily. Then he walked over to Nick's bed.
He sat down and looked over Nick. He was a mess. Warrick wondered how he had even survived the crash. Then he thought of an idea. (you've been warned this idea is really lame)
Maybe if I talk to him he'll wake up Warrick thought.
"Hey man, you plannin' on wakin' up any time soon? We all miss you, man. Even Griss is crying, or at least he looks like he is going to. Greg is here. He really wants you to wake up, as do the rest of us. We want our Nicky back. You have to wake up soon, or we'll all just break down. C'mon man, we know you can do it. It won't be the same without you, so don't give up on us," Warrick said beginning to cry.
He sat there for a while then he wiped his eyes and exited the room. He found a seat next to Greg, who was silently crying. Catherine had gone for a cup of coffee, and Grissom and Sara were sitting a couple chairs down, talking and having coffee. Grissom had gotten control of himself and was back to being unemotional.
Warrick was startled when Greg started talking. "He was like my older brother; he was always there when I needed someone to talk to. He was the only one who came down to the lab just to talk. He was always there to back me up," Greg said, crying even harder.
"Nick's not..." he couldn't ring himself to say it, "so stop talking like that man. He is still there for you, he just needs you to be there for him, too," Warrick finished.
"Yeah," Greg said quietly.
Warrick looked up as Catherine walked over with two cups of coffee. She handed one to Warrick, and sat down with the other. Warrick turned back to Greg and noticed he already had a cup of coffee.
"Thanks," he said turning back to Catherine.
She just smiled slightly and took a sip of her coffee.
Then she looked back at Warrick and said, "This is going to be a long day."
