Pairing: Calleigh and Speed

Why did this have to happen she thought, as she stood in the darkness, crying. Why? She wondered how this could happen to someone so good, so sweet; to the one man she loved.
They had finally confessed their true feelings for each other and then this…this…well; she couldn't manage to say the words. It was as if a piece of her had died along with him.
She couldn't take this anymore. She had to get out of here. She had to get away from all of these memories. She grabbed her purse and headed for the door. She didn't know where she was going to go. She most certainly couldn't go to work. That brought back to many memories as well. Just then the doorbell rang. Perfect timing. A distraction, or so she thought.

Eric Delko had promised Calleigh a long time ago that he would leave her alone when she was upset. After all, they had been close once. But Speed was his friend too and he couldn't let her suffer alone.
He had played that day over and over in his mind. Maybe it would help. Maybe it would help him cope with what had happened to his best friend. That was wishful thinking. He knew that would never happen. It would just make him angrier.
As he walked up the front porch and rang the doorbell, he stood waiting in the uncomfortable silence, all the while thinking about Calleigh. Is she all right? What if she had done something that she would regret later? It wasn't long before the door opened.
Calleigh was a mess, to say the least. Her eyes were blood red from crying, her hair was knotty and unkempt, and she was wearing the same clothes she had been wearing for the past two days. This is not the Calleigh we know and love. 'Give her a break man, she just lost her boyfriend,' Eric said to himself.

Calleigh Duquesne wanted anyone at the door…anyone but Eric. She knew that he would try to make her feel better, but that was the last thing she wanted. She just wanted to be left alone. When she opened the door, Eric was standing there. "Calleigh, are you okay? I've been worried about you," Eric said.
"I'm fine, but I was on my way out, so you'll have to excuse me," Calleigh said as she pushed Eric out of the way.
"Okay, but if you need anything, just call," Eric shouted after her.
Maybe Eric's visit did help. She knew where she was going to go. She was going to the cemetery to be with him…her beloved Speed.
