A/N: Thanks for the amazing responses! I love hearing from you guys. I am working very hard to finish this and most of my other current stories so that I can post some new stuff I have been working on! So, please, keep telling me what you think in a review! I think this will probably be another very short chapter. Though I am really trying to lengthen it, but I cant promise anything. But, please, review!

Disclaimer: The teams still split, Sara and Nick still haven't hooked up, and Nick STILL has that damn shirt on! Obviously, I haven't yet accomplished taking it over. (But let me tell you, when I get it, that shirt is the first to go!)

Grissom POV

I have always loved her. When I first learned that she was seeing Nick, I thought it was just a fling. When they got engaged, I wished that she would leave him. When they married, I still prayed that she would figure out its me she should be with, not him.

When he finally broke his heart, I wanted nothing more then to take her in my arms, and whisper that I loved her. I can imagine her kissing me, whispering she loved me to. That she always had. And then we'd get married and Nick would be left out in the cold, all alone.

When the time finally came, when he hurt her, I couldn't do it. I couldn't take her in my arms and tell her the truth. I couldn't do it because no matter how hard I tried to believe it, I knew her heart would always belong to Nick Stokes. She could never love me, nor would she want to. She couldn't deal with my confession, for she believed I had stopped loving her a long time ago. Of course I hadn't, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

It might hurt me, but not her.

She has always been the woman that has enchanted me. The one that has baffled me. She was the first woman that I ever lost sleep over. The first woman I think I ever truly loved. I wish that I had taken her up on that dinner offer, maybe then things would have turned out differently. Maybe if I had been brave enough to act on my feelings then, she would be with me now. And then she wouldn't be hurting, her heart wouldn't be broken. Or at least that is what I like to believe.

Of course, in my heart, I know that this is not true. I know that in reality, I had already caused her so much pain. I know of all the times I had raised her hopes of something between up happening, and then I would just do something to hurt her. Nick, he had been her knight in shining armor. He had picked up the pieces of her shattered heart. He had been the one to make her smile, the one to give her true happiness.

I remember the day I found out about the two of them. It was so long ago, but it seems like yesterday. It had been a long and grueling shift, and we were all tired. It had been especially hard on Sara. Rape cases had that affect on her. After I had finished the paperwork for the case, I had decided to stop in on her. I don't know why I did it; maybe I had thought she would fall into my arms. Boy was I in for a surprise.

When I had arrived at her small apartment, I had been a little nervous, I guess I was afraid that she would have someone with her. I thought that I was being silly, at that moment.

Lets just say I was in for a surprise when she opened the door, her hair mussed, wearing a pair of boxers and a man's shirt. I remember just standing there, in shock. I kept thinking "my God. I didn't know she would do something like this."

I thought she had just gotten together with someone, some random guy. Of course, when I heard that familiar drawl, I thought

"I'll kill him." I didn't, obviously. But now I really wish I had. That was very awkward, all of up just kind of staring at each other. Eventually we were all able to be in the same room without it being to bad, but things were never the same.

Sara has always been the woman I wanted, the woman I loved, and the woman I would die for. She was also always the woman I could never have. She was always the untouchable, and she always will be.

A/N: sorry if it was short, I am just kind of busy. We have exams coming up and everything. So, yeah, that sucks. So please, review, tell me what you think. And remember folks:

You use the angle bisectors of a triangle to inscribe a circle in a given triangle!

And…

Rectangles have congruent diagonals!

Why yes, I do have geometry exams next week!

Review!
