CHAP ONE: Lying and Betrayal
Sara had been with Grissom for almost a year now, they hadn't moved
in yet, but both had keys to each others houses.
When Grissom didn't show up for work Sara got worried as well as the
rest of the gang, so she headed over to his house to see if he was
OK.
When she reached his house she noticed that his car was in the drive
way along with another car, one that she hadn't seen before.
Sara parked the Denali and walked tot eh front door and knocked
three times.
When she received no answer she rang the doorbell.
Finally she got her key out of her pocket and unlocked the door and
went on in, what she saw next she never thought in a million years
would ever happen.
As she walked further into the living room she saw that the room was
a mess, at first she wondered if he was ok, but as she ventured
further in the house to hid bedroom she saw him, at first relief
came to her, but then pain and confusion as she saw that he wasn't
in the bed.
The dark haired woman had her head laying on his chest and her right
arm and leg wrapped around him, and he had both his arms wrapped
around her.
Sara was heartbroken, confused and a few other things that words
just can't describe.
As she saw him stirring she decided to leave and act as she hadn't
saw the scene before her, but little did she know that it wouldn't
be that simple.
A HALF AN HOUR LATER AT WORK
Grissom practically ran into the lab, and found almost everyone in
the locker room.
" Hey guys sorry I'm late my alarm didn't go off."
Sara hadn't told the guys that she had seen him with another woman,
she had told them that she forgot her key, but that he would more
than likely be late, but he was ok.
" Yeah, your a little more than late, Ecklie already gave us our
cases and there was only one so were going to just hang out in the
break room, you wanna join us for once?"
Grissom thought about it, and decided to join them.
They entire lab knew now about Grissom and Sara's relationship, and
more than half of them encouraged it, and knew it was going to
happen at some point.
After they all got seated in the break room Greg smiled," OKAY
according to my calculations it's my turn to choice the game we play
tonight, am I correct?"
Everyone nodded their head, except for Sara who couldn't stop
replaying the images of Grissom holding tightly to the dark haired
woman, and images of his calling out someone else's name, and telling
someone else that he loved them like he had been doing to her for the past year, all of a sudden she was awoken from her thoughts by Greg.
" Hey Sara, Earth to Sara?"
" What, oh yeah it's your turn Greg."
Greg smiled," OK, I know that this may be a little childish but I
want to to play Truth or Dare!"
Everyone let out a moan, " Greg we all probably haven't played Truth
or Dare since like 8th grade man."
" I know thats why we should play it now, see if we really know each
other, and what each others limits are."
" Well OK I guess I'm, Nick are you in?"
" Yeah."
Soon after everyone agreed to play, even Grissom.
" OKAY Catherine its your turn."
" Kay, Warrick Truth or Dare?"
Warrick smiled," Dare."
" OK I dare you to kiss Greg on the lips!"
Warricks face turned from on of amusement to one of sickness.
" There's no way in hell I'd kiss Greg pick someone else, and don't
you dare say Grissom or Nick, no men for that matter."
" Well OK kiss Sara!"
Warrick had hoped she would have said OK kiss me, but she had said
Sara, this was so uncomfortable with Grissom sitting right across
the room from Sara.
Warrick walked up to Sara and looked at the ground, he couldn't
believe he was doing this.
Sara on the other hand was still very confused and hurt from Grissom
and had her own plan going, and with one swift move she pulled
Warrick down by his collar and kiss him hard, which by instinct he
did back.
Catherine saw that Grissom looked like he was about to pounce on
Warrick, and cleared her throat.
When she did they broke apart and Warrick went back and sat by
Catherine.
Sara saw that Grissom's knuckles were white from his grip, she hoped
to make him do that more, and more, and to make him feel exactly the
way she did, and maybe even worse.
" OK Warrick your turn."
" Um, OK Nick Truth or Dare?"
" Truth."
" OK, true or false you had sex with you History teacher in
college?"
All eyes went towards Nick who blushed and looked at the wall and
said very quietly," True, but she was young and hot!"
Everyone laughed and smiled.
" OK my turn, Sara Truth or Dare?"
Sara smiled," Truth."
" OK True or False you love the sex life you and Grissom have?"
Oh Sara loved Nick for this one, she looked over at Grissom and saw
him smiling, if he only knew what she was going to do to him.
She look Nick square in the eye and said," False."
Grissom's smile quickly turned into an open mouthed head cocked
question glance her way and the room went silent until Sara spoke.
" OK my turn, Grissom Truth or Dare?"
Grissom barely choked his words out, " Truth."
God she was going to burn him so bad!
" OK True or False have you ever cheated on a girlfriend?"
" False."
Sara looked at him and smiled," Are you sure about that?"
" Yeah, false."
" Wait remember what is said in this room stays in this room, now
I'll ask you again have you ever cheated on a girlfriend?"
Questioning glances were being sent across the room.
Grissom knitted his brow and looked at Sara and said," I said False
Sara."
Sara's smile went away as she said," Ok Fine."
Grissom looked at Sara and said," Sara True or False?"
" Truth."
" True or False, you want to marry me?"
" Thats so easy honey, its so False."
The tension in the room was thick, and so was the eye contact
between Grissom and Sara.
" OK Grissom True or False?"
" Truth."
" OK, is it True that you have ever thought about cheating on me?"
" Thats easy, False, I wouldn't cheat on you Sara."
Sara let a tear fall down her cheek.
" Thats the wrong answer Griss, why cant you just tell the truth!"
" Sara what the hell are you talking about?"
He started to walk towards her to comfort her when she stood up and
said," No I don't want you near me, I don't even want to talk to you OK!"
" No Sara it's not OK, what the hell is your problem did I do
something wrong?"
Everyone was still watching, they were as clueless as Grissom seemed
to be.
" Oh don't act like you don't know you son of a bitch!"
The yelling was now at full blown.
" What the hell are you talking about Sara?"
" I'm talking about that dark haired skinny bitch you fucked last
night thats what I'm talking about!"
Grissom's mouth fell open and then quickly shut, no words could be
said.
When Sara's crying got worse he tried to comfort her, but when he
even moved toward her an inch she came at him again.
" No, stay the hell away from me OK, just leave me the fuck alone,
when were you going to tell me about her huh, or was she just a one
night thing, how many other girlfriends do you have, or have you had since we've been together!"
" Look Sara let me explain!"
" No fuck no you've had all the chances that your going to get from
me, I'm through with this shit, why don't you just go into your
office and think about it, and talk to your fucking spider and
whatever else you do in there and figure out what year it will be
when your going to be honest with me about it!"
" Sara look it was...
" Nothing?"
" No nothing was nothing why the Fuck did you do it!"
" Sara.. I"
" No don't start that shit, Like I said I'm done, I'm leaving, out
of here, you'll have my resignation by the end of shift!"
With that Sara left the break room, when Grissom turned around he saw
that everyone was still there, they had heard and saw everything.
" Look guys I"
Nick stood up and looked at Grissom and said," Don't bother man,
just don't even try to talk your way out of this one, because it not
going to work, you know I looked up to you Grissom, Now all the
trust that you had from me is gone, and I'm not sure if you'll ever
get it back."
Everyone walked out of the room, when he was alone he sat down and
felt a migrane coming on, why did he have to be such a dumbass, he
truly loved Sara, but sometimes his dick and heart said two
entirely different things, and after spending the night with Jim
Beam his dick had been in control.
CHAP TWO: THE PHONE CALL
Sara knew that Grissom wouldn't be home so she went to his house to
pick up her clothes when she was done she was on her way to the door
when the phone rang, she went to get it but then thought why bother.
When she reached the door the answering machine clicked on," Hey Gil
it Tish I just wanted to say that last night was amazing, and don't
worry my husband doesn't know anything, well if you ever want to
hook up again call my cell my numbers 252-5629, catch ya later babe.
Sara pulled out her cell and without thinking dialed the number.
" Hello this is Tish?"
" Yeah Hi, look I don't appreciate you fucking my man!"
" What who the hell is this!"
" This is the guy you fucked last nights girlfriend, well now ex-
girlfriend, look I just wanted you to know that I know about what
you guys did and if you were hear right now I'd kick your ass, you
ruined my life!"
A long silence came after Sara stopped and then Tish talked," Look
Sara it wasn't anything, we both were very drunk and just wanted to
try something different, I know you cant possibly understand, and I
don't know what to say but I'm sorry."
" I hope you cant sleep at night knowing that you ruined someones
life, someones dreams, he's was the only guy I've ever been in love with."
With that being said Sara hung up the phone, and as soon as she did
Grissom walked in the door.
" Sara, thank God you here, look I need to tell you the truth!"
" I think its a little late for that don't you!"
" No I don't, Sara please just five minutes!"
Sara sighed," Fine five minutes, but don't touch me."
" OK deal."
" Look Sara you know that I love you, what happened was such a
stupid mistake, and yes it was nothing."
" Wait nothing, how can you say it was nothing, you fucked her, you
kissed her, you did all of this in the bed that we share half the
time, and you can honestly stand here in front of me and say that it
was nothing!"
" Sara look I know what I did was wrong, but look it's like that
comedian says when your supposed to be committed your with one red
M&M , and once in a while you just say fuck it I want a green one."
Sara was super pissed," What the fuck was that supposed to make me
understand anything?"
" Kinda."
" Look I'm leaving, I don't want to hear from you, I moving don't try
and find me, I never want to hear from you again!"
THREE DAYS AFTER SARA HAD MOVED AWAY
The shrieking of a cell phone was the only noise that could be
heard, and then shortly after that the sound of it shattering
against the wall.
Gil Grissom had changed from the man he was only three days ago.
He hated work, he hadn't went since she left, he had also never
stopped drinking scotch, except for when he was shooting up heroine,
he hadn't been sober since she left, and had completely destroyed
his house except for a few pictures of them together.
Grissom staggered towards the kitchen to get another drink, but on
his way in he collapsed, falling hard and hitting his head against
the cold floor splitting his forehead.
When he sat up he leaned against the wall and wiped his forehead
with one head, when he saw that he was bleeding that was it, he was
giving up, he wasn't going to move, he was just going to sit there
until he died.
Thats all his life was worth now, absolutely nothing, without her he
wasn't anyone.
He was a drunk, selfish son of a bitch who deserved probably
everything that he was getting.
By lunch he had passed out from too much alcohol.
Catherine had been extremely worried about him and stopped by to see
how he was doing, she didn't agree with what he did, and couldn't
believe it, but she wasn't going to be childish about it, they had
to work together.
When she pulled up she knocked on the door and it opened.
She stuck her head in and was about to yell for him when she saw him
against the kitchen wall, and ran to him.
" Jesus Grissom, what the fuck did you do!"
His pulse was there but extremely weak.
She called for 911 immediately and when they got there they rushed
him to the hospital.
Catherine looked around to see if she could find out what happened
to him, but only after taking a few more steps she saw the bottles
on the couch, floor and table along with some needles and stretchy
medical band to tie off with.
Catherine wasn't one to show emotion but let a single tear escape
her eyes and quickly wiped it away, and called the guys to let them
know what had happened.
She could only think one thing,' Why and the hell did he have to do
this, he was a good man even though he cheated on Sara, he was her
best friend and she was going to be there no matter what happened!'
