Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with CSI, and I don't own Lifehouse or their song Hanging by a moment.
Okay, here's the second chapter, the song is Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse, which I love. Read, enjoy and review!

Nick's face broke up in a huge smile. He was surprised.
"Sara. Hi, I was just… You wanna come in?" He said. Sara nodded.
"Thanks."
Desperate for changing starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started, I'm chasing after you.
Nick couldn't help smiling to the fact that Sara had come to him, just as he had been thinking about her. But it didn't mean anything; he tried to tell himself, he was just a friend to her, right? Sara's heart was racing and her eyes kept looking all over.
"Do you want something, coffee maybe?" Nick asked after a moment.
"Yeah, thanks, coffee would be great." Sara replied. She needed something to calm her nerves. Here she was, finally about to do this, and she had never felt more nervous.
I'm falling even more in love with you.
Letting go of all I've held onto.
I'm standing here until you make me move,
I'm hanging by a moment here with you.
Nick sat down on his couch next to Sara and handed her a cup. After a few minutes of silence Nick cleared his throat.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked, sounding a bit worried.
"What? Oh, no no, everything's… great actually." Sara said with a smile as she put down her cup on the coffee table. "But there is something I wanted to talk about."
Forgetting all I'm lacking completely incomplete,
I'll take your invitation, you take all of me.
"I'm listening." Nick put his cup away too as he turned to face her.
"Okay… Well I-I don't know where to start. I want to dot his right." Sara felt a shiver as Nick moved just an inched closer, staring into her eyes. She took a deep breath. "First, I wanna make one thing clear. Um, this thing about Grissom…" She started. But she stopped when she saw the look on Nick's face. Disappointment. He sighed.
"Is that what you came here to talk about?"
"No, Nick it's not what you think."
Now I'm falling even more in love with you,
Letting go of all I've held onto.
I'm standing here until you make me move,
I'm hanging by a moment here with you.
"I wanted to say that… I'm over him; actually I've been over him for years now." She murmured. Nick looked up in her eyes again.
"Seriously?" He asked frowning a bit. Sara smiled as she took the courage to move closer.
"Seriously."
"Then why did you go out with him?" No, this was not the way Sara wanted things to go.
"That doesn't matter! What matters is that I'm not in love with him Nick."
I'm living for the only thing I know,
I'm running and not quite sure where to go.
And I don't know what I'm diving into,
Just hanging by a moment here with you.
"And so, the thing I wanted to talk to you about was that…" Sara's head was spinning; this was it, the moment of truth. She took a deep breath. But she couldn't do it. The words simply wouldn't get out of her mouth. So she did the only thing she could think of. Just as Nick was about to say something he felt Sara's warm lips, crushing against his.
There is nothing else to lose.
There is nothing else to find.
There is nothing in the world that could change my mind.
There is nothing else, there is nothing else, there is nothing else…
Nick was in total chock. Sara slowly pulled away, looking for an answer in his face. But all she saw was confusion. Maybe this was just the wrong thing to do.
"I'm sorry. I should go…" Sara said, but as she stood up she felt a hand grabbing her wrist.
"Don't." Nick pulled her back down and brushed away some hair from her eyes. "Don't go."
I'm desperate for changing, I'm starving for truth.
I'm closer to where I started, I'm chasing after you.
Nick leaned in and softly kissed her lips. A shiver went through them both. Was this what they had been missing for all these years? Was this what Sara had chose Grissom over? Sometimes you can be so stupid. Nick ran his hands up to Sara's neck as she opened her mouth for him.
I'm falling even more in love with you,
Letting go of all I've held onto.
I'm standing here until you make me move,
I'm hanging by a moment here with you.
Nick gently pushed Sara away, seeing that toothy smile on her face.
"Was this what you wanted to talk about?" He smirked.
"Kinda… I wanted to tell you that I'm in love with you Nick. I have been for so long and I'm not gonna keep that secret to myself anymore."
"Good, cause I'm in love with you too."
I'm living for the only thing I know,
I'm running and not quite sure where to go.
And I don't know what I'm diving into,
Just hanging by a moment here with you.
"What about Grissom?" Nick asked after a few breathtaking moments. "What are we gonna tell him, and the lab? What are we gonna…" Nick stopped as Sara put a finger over his lips.
"Would you just stop talking?" She murmured and leaned over to kiss him.
Just hanging by a moment,
Hanging by a moment, hanging by a moment,
Hanging by a moment here with you.
