Chapter 4

Sara walked along the road until she came to a pathway and decided to follow it to see where it would take her. Wow Sara thought as she looked out on to the lake this is really pretty, this must be the lake nick was going to take me to I can see why he likes it so much. Sara sat down by the waters edge and tried to process what had just happened. She could hear Nick's voice spinning round and round in her head "Yea Mom she's a great girl I really like her I think she could be the one". How could he lie like that he had sounded so sincere if she hadn't known better she'd have thought he really meant it, but she knew he didn't he couldn't have he was just saying it to make his lie to his mother about her being his girlfriend sound convincing if his mother believed he really liked her she'd be happy. "Ugh Men!" Sara sighed loudly.

"What about men" Nick said coming up behind Sara and frightening the life out of her. He'd come here to clear his head he hadn't really expected Sara to find the lake but she was here he might as well find out what was bugging her. Sara jumped startled and turned around to see nick behind her. "You frightened the life out of me," Sara said. "Sorry" Nick answered looking at her. "Ok Sara spill" Nick asked, "What's up with you?" "I don't know what you mean Nick I'm fine" Sara replied not looking him in the eye. "Sure your fine Sara" Nick said his voice dripping with sarcasm "I mean hey I run out of peoples houses all the time to go off on my own in a strange city" he finished. "Nick I don't want to talk about it I just want you to leave me alone, I can't handle this right now" Sara said trying to keep her voice steady and hold back the tears threatening to spill, she didn't even know why she was going to cry it wasn't like Nick had done anything really except lie to his mother about there relationship but it hurt that he could lie about his feelings so easily when she felt so much for him he clearly didn't feel the same.

"Can't handle what Sara what's gotten in to you, you seems so upset" Nick asked more softly this time, he hated to see Sara like this she was his best friend and he cared for her more than he cared to admit, he had no idea what had upset her so much he couldn't remember the last time he'd seen her this upset, oh no wait over Griss maybe that's what was upsetting her. "Sara is it Griss is that what's wrong with you" Nick asked concern in his voice. Sara gave a sarcastic laugh and walked away from him, he really had no idea he could do this to her, she wished he couldn't after Hank and everything with Grissom her heart really couldn't handle this. "What is it Sara whatever it is please talk to me, you can tell me anything you know that I thought we were friends" Nick pleaded desperately. "I can't talk to you about this nick just leave it" Sara said as the tears she had so desperately been holding back began to fall, she turned away from Nick and faced the lake again hoping he would walk away but not really wanting him to go.

Nick put his hand on her shoulder and realised she was crying. "Come on Sara please what or who is that's making you feel like this maybe I can help" Nick asked searching her face for an answer to why she was hurting so much. "You really wanna know," She asked looking him straight in the eye as she backed away from his hold on her shoulder. "Yes Sara please let me help" Nick responded. Sara turned away from him "You" she whispered. She said it so softly Nick wasn't sure he'd heard right. "Me" Nick repeated. "What did I do that upset you so much" he asked genuinely shocked that anything he could do would have this much of an effect on her. "Nick do we need to go through this it doesn't matter" Sara sighed. "Of course it matters you are one of my best friends and if I 've hurt you in any way then I want to know about it so I can fix it" Nick replied reaching out for her but she moved further out of his grasp.

"I heard you Nick," she said softly. "Heard me?" Nick repeated confused. "What you said to your mother" "I don't understand Sara" Nick was now completely lost. "Nick you told you mother I was a great girl that you really like d me and you thought I could be the one, I don't understand how you think that is ok, how you could sincerely say those thing to your mother knowing they were a lie, how can you lie about things like that. Nick I thought you were one of the good guys but when I heard you say those things so sincerely like you meant them knowing you were lying it just hurt to know you can lie so easily" Sara finished. Nick stared at her for a while unsure of what to say. "Sara I'm sorry but how do you know I was lying," he asked looking her directly in the eye.
