Author's Note: I've had a major case of writer's block but I'm finally back with the sixth chapter in this lovely story. I call my writer's block The Curse of the Fifth Chapter. Meaning I can't ever get past chapter five. So hopefully this chapter will break the curse and I will be able to continue with the story. I'm not going to promise that the next chapter will be up soon, but I am going to try to get as much done as soon as it comes to my head!! I also want to say some things (I don't know if I've commented on them before). In my story "She Will Be Loved," you probably haven't read it, but I got like two reviews telling me that the ending wasn't believable and it wouldn't happen like that. Well I wasn't exactly writing it so it would be just like it would happen. The story was in my head and every time I visited it, the story ended just like that. I wrote it just how I saw it, not how I thought some people wanted it. So keep that same idea in mind for this story. I'm gonna go where ever the story takes me. Regardless if that be Grissom and Sara, Sara and Nick, Grissom and Catherine, Greg and Sara, Warrick and Catherine, and the rest of the combinations (btw I don't do same sex stories so don't expect that). Also for a reminder on what's in this chapter, keep Nick's thoughts and Grissom's thoughts away from reality. Remember that they are just thoughts. Well enough with my rattling. On to the story!!(This probably isn't the best of chapters, but it's all that came out.)

Chapter 6:Two Counts of Untouchable

As they entered the room, Nick flashed a small smile and inclined his head a little towards the gang to show that everything was okay.

"So do you think they'll let you go back to your house alone?" Catherine asked.

"I don't know. You'd have to ask my doctor about that. Most likely no. I think they put you in an institute for a couple of weeks, just to make sure that you are all right and don't try to do anything. Which I don't think works because you could fake it the whole time and then really kill yourself when you get out." Sara said the whole thing with no signs of saying that she wasn't planning on doing that herself. "But I wouldn't do it because the only reason I did what I did was a kind of cry for help."

"But why Sara?? Can you imagine what would have happened if Nick didn't happen to be there?? Or if no one came to your rescue!! You wouldn't be here!! Sara!! How could you have been so stupid?!?" Catherine burst out. Sara was ashamed of herself. She didn't take the time to think about no one coming. She just automatically thought that someone, anyone would be there. Was that selfish of her? Whether the answer was yes or no, she wouldn't find out. She just stared at her blanket and picked fuzzballs off of it.

"Did you think how all of us would have felt if you didn't show up to work and one of us had gone to check if you were sick because you didn't answer your phone and we found you, dead in the bathroom covered in blood!!" Cath had said the whole sentence without breathing (hence the no punctuation).

"Take a breath Catherine. Let's just be thankful that Nick did find her." Warrick said trying to calm Cath down.

The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence for a while. It seemed that dust was collecting in piles, but if you shifted your eyes you could see that everything was spotless. Mostly everyone just watched their hands and examined their nails. Sara drifted in and out of sleep. Grissom stared out of Sara's lonely window, watching the cars go along.

Greg was the one to break the silence. His head slipped off of his hands and he snored very loud. So loud in fact the he woke himself up, looking alarmed. Catherine laughed aloud and was quickly joined by everyone but Nick. He had a glassy look about him and just stared into space. He hadn't blinked for a minute or two.

His mind wandered for a while. He didn't know what to think about. He didn't want to be any kind of hero. He wasn't a hero. He just showed up at the right time. A gut feeling. How would his relationship with Sara be from now on? They were friends. They laughed and goofed around. But he had been the one to rescue her. He couldn't change that now. She would think of him as something similar to a rescuer. She probably wouldn't think of him the same. He couldn't express his true feelings towards her now. It would be to late for that.

At the window, Grissom's line of thought was almost the same. It was true that he thought more of Sara than friend or co-worker. He wanted to be more than that. But she was untouchable. They couldn't be anything more than friends. It would be impossible. She was probably falling for Nick by now. It was to late. Perhaps it was always to late for him.
