Greg woke up from hearing the shower going in the room next door. He had a assortment of feelings that morning. "What was Nick thinking telling Sara that? Oh wait, I know, he still wants Sara and if she gets mad at me he thinks she'll break off- she probably would but that's not the point. Nick has some damn nerve telling her that. That's need I need to find him." Greg thought to himself while getting up and getting dressed. He found his keys on the coffee table next to the door and left Sara a note in replacement where the keys were.
Sara
I gotta do something. Be back soon.
GregGreg went into his car and went to Nick's apartment. He's only been there once playing some video games but he still knew were it was and what number it was. While walking up to the door Greg was considering what he'd say. He figured he'd just wing it.
Knock knock.
"Hold on!" Greg heard from inside.
The door open and Greg saw a sleepy looking Nick standing there with a little confusion on his face. "What's up Greg?"
"Nick I think you know why I'm here."
"Sara." Nick was wondering when he'd come over. Knowing Greg he'd probably flip, but you never know.
"What the hell is your problem telling Sara that I 'treat women like apiece of meat'?" Greg asked rising his voice a little.
"Greg that is what you do to your previous girlfriends." Nick said getting a little annoyed. He just woke up and now has to deal with a angry Greg. Great.
"No, I don't Nick! Seriously, if you goddamn love her that much why won't you let her be happy?"
"Happy?" This were Nick got the confused look again on his face.
"Yes, if you just let her have some space to figure out what she wants, than maybe you'll be able to deal with this. Why do you think she went to me? Because you can be controlling Nick. Not in the 'you can't go anywhere' way but in the, 'I love you so much that I need you weather or not you need me' way." Greg was feeling a little open with Nick so he walked out and back to his car. He drove around for hours wondering what Sara was going to think once she heard he talked to Nick. By the time he was done with his little drive, he had to be in work. So he turned around towards the lab. He got his assignment with Catherine. It was some murder in a house downtown. He wasn't really listening to Grissom but looking at Nick and Sara. But Catherine interrupted his thoughts with, "You wanna leave now?" Sounding a little annoyed that Greg hadn't been listening.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure." He said with a realization of what was going on.
They both worked out with their kits into Greg's car. They got in and started off towards the crime scene. Catherine kept looking at Greg. Greg wondering what she was doing or thinking, which ever she may want to inform him of, asked," What Cath?"
"What are you thinking of Greg?"
"What do you mean?" Greg's expression was getting a little confused and worried where this was going to go.
"What are you thinking about? Or what's on your mind? Something is bugging you. I'm just wondering what it is, that's all."
"What do you know?" Catherine always knew more than she let on and Greg knew that.
"Oh just a little relationship with Sara that's caused two friends and turn on each other."
"How do you know that?"
"I heard Nick talking to himself in the locker room." She said kind of plainly.
"Of course." Greg said expectantly.
"So you wanna tell me everything? I can help you know."
"I know you can. It's just-"
"Hard?"
"Yeah."
"Just try Greg, you've gotta be able to talk about it to someone, otherwise it'll build up on you."
"Alright Catherine, I'll try. It's just that, Nick still is madly in love with Sara, even though he hasn't told her he 'loved' her yet I don't think. But I think Sara is starting to fall for him all over again. I've seen the roses he gives her and the notes with them. She doesn't know that, but I have. And I don't want to hold Sara down. She's in a tough spot right now. And I feel like such a wuss that I can't do anything to help her. She means everything to me right now, and I just want her to be happy."
"Sounds like you're starting to fall in love with her too Greggo. Maybe you should tell her you are, that is if my observations are correct. Maybe it'll help her set her mind on one of you two. Just treat her like a queen for the time you have with her. I'll talk to Nick." She told him sincerely.
"Thanks Catherine! I owe you one!" He said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"You do Greg, now let's catch some bad guys!"
"God I hope Catherine helps with this. She'll know what to do more than me." He thought to himself.
They found the house and started processing it. They didn't mention Sara or Nick at all, just laughed and joked around, like friends who've known each other all their lives.
