Love Her - Seether
I met a girl who hated the world - she used her body to sell her soul
Every time they'd break her and pay - tear out her heart, and leave her in pain
I never found out how she survived all of the sadness she kept inside
I never found out how she could lie with a smile on her face,
and the scratches she'd hide

Chorus:
You could love her if you paid, you could have her everyday
You could love her if you prayed, you could have her every way

Down on her knees, she wept on the floor - this hopeless life she wanted no more
Dead in her mind and cold to the bone - she opened her eyes and saw she was alone
She never found out how much I tried - all of the sadness she kept made me blind
She never found out how much I cried - the rope so tight on the night that she died...

I never found out how she survived - a life lived in lies is a life of denial
I never found out how she could lie - with a smile on her face and the darkness inside

Chapter Eight ;

Greg walked to Sara's room. Grissom was watching Sara sleep. Greg sat down in a chair beside him. Grissom was just sitting, staring at Sara. Greg looked at Sara, the calm, almost lifeless Sara.

"Grissom?" Greg asked finally.

"Yes, Greg?" Gil answered.

"I thought you didn't notice me come in." Greg said.

"I saw you come in, I just didn't acknowledge that you were there." Gil answered in a monotone voice. It kind-of scared Greg.

"How long have you been here?" Greg asked. Gil looked at his watch.

"About six and a half hours." Gil answered. Greg left without saying another word. Leaving Grissom to watch Sara in peace.

Another hour had past, and Sara still hadn't waken up. Grissom was still watching her, in the same position he had been in for the past four hours. The doctors had come in and checked on her about every half hour. Grissom drowned into his thoughts as he watched her. What if Sara did die? The last thing that she would have said to him would be 'Love me after I'm dead.' He would have to live with that for the rest of his life. Nick came into the room and stood beside Gil.

"Catherine told me about what happened." Nick said quietly.

"Did she tell you that Sara might die?" Gil asked.

"Yeah, she said the doctors say she's going to be fine though." Nick said, trying to keep his hopes up.

"I won't believe it until she does wake up." Grissom said. Nick stood quietly for the next ten minutes, then he left. Grissom stayed, he wasn't going to leave Sara's side.

---

Gil was pushed out of the room. Something had gone wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. Two doctors and three nurses were in Sara's room. Fighting to keep her alive. Tears came to Sara's eyes. No. Please, stay alive Sara. Fight it. Fight death. It was no use. One of the nurses came out of the room.

"I'm sorry Mr.Grissom. We did what we could." The nurse said.

Grissom walked out of the hospital without saying a word. She's really gone. He drove home. Sara had said once before 'I wish I was like you Grissom, I wish I didn't feel anything.' She would have thought differently now, if she knew how he felt now.
