A/N: Thanks to the people who reviewed, I wouldn't be continuing this without you. I'm sorry it's so short… Now, without further ado, I give you, CHAPTER TWO. Yay
Catherine had never trusted easily. Now, after Eddie, she almost never trusted. Grissom was about the only person she could open up to, because he had seen through her mask. And then there was Sara.
Trusting Sara was the bravest thing Catherine had ever done. Sara could hurt her worse than anyone, because Sara had the one thing that wouldn't heal. Sara held her heart. And she could stomp on it at any time. Catherine tried not to trust anyone, but trusting Sara was like breathing; she couldn't help it.
Then came a case about a serial killer who seemed to be targeting women much like Sara. To find out information, she needed to pose as a girlfriend.
At first, Catherine was willing to believe that it was an act. But when she met Rex, things changed. Rex was the kind of guy Catherine had seen girls obsess over in high school. The same kind of guy that she had hated at the strip clubs, the overly possessive macho creeps who thought that just because she stripped, she was theirs. And here was Sara, "pretending" to go out with him.
It hurt so much that Catherine thought she was going to break with the pain. Watching this guy pawing Sara was the worst thing she had ever gone through. And worst of all, Sara didn't complain. So Catherine shut down.
