Blah. Saddish chapter? Hmm. You'll find out ;-)


Catherine stormed out of the room; tears streaming down her cheeks. Gil and Lindsey watched as she closed the doors behind her. Sara stood there and watched as Gil danced with Lindsey. She turned to one of her friends and pointed to them.

This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know

"Who's that little girl, again?"

"Um... I don't know. Probably his niece, Sara. Chill out."

"I'm fine. I don't care. She can dance with him." Sara said rolling her eyes. Gil looked down at Lindsey and smiled.

"Should we go and try to find your Mom when the songs over?"

"Do you want to?"

"Of course I do."

"But what if Sara over there starts to get the wrong idea about-"

"Remeber what I told you?" Lindsey smiled and hugged him tighter.

Catherine pressed her back against the bathroom wall. She looked in the mirror and sighed. Her make-up was messed up and she didn't have time to fix it. She could hear the music to Lindsey and Gil's father daughter dance all the way from inside the bathroom. It was Lindsey's favorite song. Far Away by Nickelback. She would always listen to it at night and end up crying herself to sleep.

That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

Catherine sighed and cleaned herself up. She went to walk out of the bathroom, when she heard a very familiar voice. She opened the door a little and her eyes grew wide. Eddie was standing in the middle of the hallway, looking around for her and Lindsey. Catherine closed the door and started crying again. She suddenly remebered the first time she met Eddie. Everything stopped and she busted through the doors, walking past him and into the dance hall.

On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know

"Dad?"

"Hmm, Linds?"

"What are you and Mom going to do about me?"

"I don't know, but we'll work out something... unless you want to stay with-"

"No. I want to stay with you. I want to stay with you and Mom, both." Lindsey said snuggling her head into Gil's chest. His heart broke. He hugged Lindsey closer and rocked her back and forth.

"I'm going to try my best. Okay?" Lindsey nodded her head and smiled as the song came to an end.

I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore

Once the song was over, Sara ran to the DJ and demanded that they play Sara and Gil's wedding song. Lindsey and Gil broke apart right when the familiar song came through the speakers.

I think I've already lost you I think you're already gone

Gil looked back at Sara who was smirking. He could remeber telling her not to pick this song. It was her favorite song, but it had too many memories behind it for him. Sara started walking up to him, but Lindsey saw the look of confusion on his face.

"Dad? What's wrong?"

"Nothing just... I'm thinking." Lindsey looked around and backed away from the dance floor. Catherine walked through the doors and stopped suddenly at the song she was hearing.

I think I'm finally scared now You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong I think you're already leaving Feels like your hand is on the door

Tears came to her eyes for the 4th time that day. She slowly pressed her back against the wall and stared at Gil. He used their song. He used the song they danced to before he left to dance with his new wife. She was beyond mad. She was hurt. How could he?

I thought this place was an empire But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

Sara wrapped her arms around his neck, but he just stood there. She was starting to get a little frustrated that he wasn't moving, so she stared at him and gave him a fake smile.

"What's wrong?"

"I told you not to pick this song."

"But baby, I love this song. You love it to so I thought-" Gil sighed and started moving. He looked around and stopped suddenly at the sight of a sobbing Catherine in the corner of the room. Lindsey saw Gil was staring at something, so she turned around to see what. She got up and ran to Catherine the second she saw her mom was crying.

I think you're so mean - I think we should try I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - I think too much I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

Gil closed his eyes and remebered the night he danced to this with Catherine. A smile formed on his lips as he suddenly remebered everything.

"Hi. I'm ugh ... Gil. Gil Grissom."

"Well Gil, I'm Catherine. Catherine Willows."

"Beautiful name..."

"Thank you. But, it's getting late and-"

"Um. Would you like to go to dinner with me?"

"Thanks. I'd love to."

"Catherine? You coming?"

"I can't go in like this..."

"Catherine... you look fine."

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home Cuz there's a little bit of something me In everything in you

He thought back to the night when they both stayed in his town house. How they had bumped into each other in the hall, how they fell asleep in each others arms, how he brought her to the lab and introduced her to everyone. He thought back to the first time he told her he loved her. He forgot Sara was in his arms. He only thought of Catherine and how she took the new of him leaving.

"Baby..."

"No... no. Just... just go."

"I love you, Catherine. I love you so much..."

"Then why do you have to go?"

"Because... she's..."

"She's what, Gil? She's more important than me?"

"No! Catherine! That's not it at ALL! You know that! You know I love you more than anything else in this entire world!"

"Then why does it feel like it's the other way around!"

"What?"

"You say that, but do you really mean it?"

"I do mean it... and I'm sorry... I love you. I really, really do."

"I know... I know. I love you, too. More than anything..."

Eddie stormed through the dance hall in the middle of the song. Gil opened his eyes and watched as Eddie made his way to Catherine. She jumped when he grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the dance hall. Lindsey started crying and followed them. Eddie dragged them outside and threw Catherine on the ground.

"What? You came to his WEDDING!"

"Lindsey wanted to see him! He's her FATHER, Eddie."

"So what have I been to that brat for the past 15 years?"

"Nothing. Nothing at ALL." Lindsey ran outside as she witnessed her mother getting slapped across the face.

"EDDIE! STOP!"

"What? What did you call me? EDDIE?" Eddie let go out Catherine and walked up to Lindsey. Gil ran out of the dance hall and looked through the windows. He saw Eddie walk up to Lindsey and raise his hand. Gil stormed to the door and opened it just in time.

"Touch my daughter and you'll be wishing you never would have." Gil said firmly. Eddie backed away from Lindsey and laughed.

"Oh God. Gil right? Yeah. I've heard a lotabout you. So what? Catherine wasn't good enough for you, huh? Yeah.. what a shame. She's not good enough for anyone is she?" Sara walked out of the dance hall with her friends and stood infront of the windows, watching Gil and Eddie argue.


God. Eddie's such a... GRRR. lol XD
