Luckily, the hospital was only a few blocks from Catherines' house, so Sara didn't need to tell anyone. She just ran as fast as she could. The hospital soon came into view. Panting, Sara dashed inside. The attendant at the desk looked at her in shock and stuttered, "Can I help you, young lady?"

"Room 208, floor 3!" Sara gasped at her. She wasn't sure if she wanted to scream or cry. The attendant gave her directions and Sara darted off again.

"Don't run!" The woman at the desk called after her, but all Sara could hear was her heavy breathing and her heart rapidly beating.

She arrived quickly and was admitted into the room. The first thing she saw was Greg sitting in a chair,slumpedweakly in a chairand his eyes red. Sara walked silently to his side.

"Greg- what's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked gently, touching his shoulder. He jerked away in surprise, and then just looked up at her with wide eyes.

"Sara. Hey. Yeah… I'm great."

"Greg, what happened?"

"It's… Veronica. She…" Greg broke off, closing his eyes and taking a deep, shaky breath. "She got in a wreck on her way to Santa Monica." Greg closed his eyes again and covered his face with his hands. Sara looked on, horrified, as her cheerful friend started to cry. She knelt in front of him and hugged his shaking body. He didn't look up. "Go see her, Sara." He whispered. Sara stood, reluctant to leave Greg in such a fragile state. But she could see Veronicas' shadow through the drawn curtains and stepped forward. Taking a deep breath, Sara pulled back the curtain.

Veronica was lying on the bed, IVs' hooked into her arms and a heart monitor beeping slowly. Her face was cut and bruised and her head was bandaged. Sara looked at her hopelessly. Veronica, who was usually so full of life, lay unconscious in the hospital and Sara couldn't do a thing about it. She sat at the foot of the bed, looking at her friend. Greg came in behind her and sat next to her. Sara looked back at Greg, tears flooding her eyes.

"Do you know what happened?"

"Some trucker was drunk and hit Veronica and her brother… he just left them there," Greg shook his head, disbelief etched in his voice. Sara hugged Greg, crying quietly.

"Why her?" She asked, squeezing him tightly and not really expecting an answer. Greg rested his head on top of hers.

Grissom hadn't slept at all that night. He had stayed up looking out the window almost all night. He was still sitting there, resting his head on the cool glass at about 11:00 in the morning. He still wasn't sure what to do about Sara. He had thought about her so much that he thought her saw her running by his window. Sighing and rubbing his eyes, Grissom looked back out and realized Sara really was there. Her face was tight with worry and she was running as quickly as she could. Grissom watched her run and could still she her when he ran into the hospital. Grissom sat up with a start, worried about Sara. He pulled on his coat and ran out the front door. When he arrived at the hospital, there was a woman reading at the counter.

"Excuse me miss," Grissom asked, looking anxiously at her.

"How can I help you?" She smiled at him.

"Was there a young girl with brown hair that ran in here a moment ago, maybe in a panic about something?" The woman laughed.

"Yeah, she dashed off to room 208, floor 3." Grissom ran through the hall, leaving a very flustered and confused attendant at the desk.

Grissom barged into the room to see Greg and Sara embracing each other. Sara was crying softly and Greg was comforting her. Grissom ached to be in Gregs' position. Greg whispered in Saras' ear and she kissed him gently on the check. Grissom felt his heart clench with jealousy. Greg stood and went to the person lying on the bed. He stumbled to his knees, and as far as Grissom could tell, was crying. Shocked, he stepped out into the hall to wait for Sara.

Greg wiped his fallen tears from Veronicas' face. "I'll be back soon, okay? I promise I'll come back soon. I… I love you," he whispered into her ear. Sara looked on, tears pouring from her eyes. Oh, Greg.

"Why does it hurt so badly?" Sara whispered to no one in particular. Greg heard her, however, and turned to look her in the eyes.

"If you care about someone that means that everything they do affects you in someway or another, whether that changes your life for better or worse," Greg sighed and hugged Sara one last time.

"Where are you going?" Sara asked quietly, looking at Veronica.

"I need to take a walk and think," Greg responded, looking at the ground.

"What about your chess competition?"

Greg just blinked at her; pain and fear engulfed his eyes. "You're kidding, right?" Greg walked out, looking over his shoulder at Veronica.

Grissom watched as Greg walked right past him, looking at him but not seeing him. Grissom looked after Greg, and then stepped into the room to see Sara.

She was sitting in a chair next to a hospital bed, clinging to the hand of the person laying in it. Grissom stepped closer and saw that it was Veronica. Sara was crying silently. Grissom, unsure of what to do, stood behind her. After a moment, he placed his hand in her back. Sara jumped up at looked at him for a moment before rushing forward.

"Oh Grissom!" She sobbed, wrapping her arms around his neck. Grissom looked down at her. "I feel so helpless. She's my best friend, and she's just lying there and I can't do anything to help." Grissom decided to hug her comfortingly, which he did. "First I knew you'd probably never want to see me again, my parents started trying to kill each other again, and now Veronica may die?" Sara looked up at him, hardly realizing what she had just said. "I don't know what to do!" Sara gasped, bowing hear head again. Grissom could feel her grief and, without a second thought, kissed her gently on the head and eased her into the chair. Sara curled onto his lap, still crying. Grissom gently rocked her back and forth, stroking her hair.

"Shh… Sara, it's going to be okay… it's alright… I'm here for you… it's okay…" Grissom repeated this for more than half an hour while Sara cried in his lap, clinging to him like he was her last hope.

Sara sat up suddenly, wiping her eyes. "Oh gosh… I'm so sorry, Grissom." She slid out of his lap, shaking her head in disbelief. "I can't believe myself. I have to go see Catherine… she'll want to know." Sara looked into Grissoms' eyes; they were calm and steady. Sara looked once more at Veronica and then ran through the door, leaving Grissom alone. Grissom put his head in his hands, confused as he had been ten hours ago.

Sorry it's so short… I just auditioned for "Beauty and the Beast" so I'm really nervous about that and I need to get some sleep before I have a SPAZ ATTACK! Tell me what you think and if you know the name of the episode where Sara tells about her parents.
