off with a fic..
INTRO
'It's all up in flames now. Everything.'
Lost in thought, Sara Sidle stared sadly at the door to Gil Grissom's townhouse, with nothing but a single blanket wrapped around her cold shoulders. The clothes she wore were tattered and torn.
Dark brunette hair drooped raggedly around Sara's soot covered oval face. Rivulets of tears had washed away tears on her cheeks to reveal pale skin beneath the soot.
Sara had lost everything in the space of a few hours.. Her apartment, her belongings, everything. Coming home after a long frustrating double shift, she had immediately flopped down upon her comforting couch and had fallen into deep slumber. Less than an hour later, Sara awoke to the blazing sound of the fire alarm going off.. She had quickly got up, thrown her shoes on and had fled outside to find her apartment complex going up in flames. Ashes fell everywhere as people gathered in the streets to watch the fire department desperately try to save the complex, to no avail. And the CSI could do nothing but watch.
She had nowhere else to go. Hours of driving in the cold left her in front of her boss's door.. But he wasn't only her boss, was he? He was the man who had stolen her heart away in the blink of an unabashed eye and refused to give it back. He was also the man who refused to do anything about it, leaving her heart torn and broken.
With a small hopeless sigh, Sara raised her pale white fist, which was covered in soot and grime, to the door and knocked..
After a few long moments the door slowly opened to reveal a lethargic Gilbert Grissom, his arms over his head stretching in an attempt to wake himself up.
"Yes what is i-Sara! What the hell happened!" He exclaimed loudly, his piercing bright eyes going wide upon seeing her appearance as he looked up..
"Griss…" she said quietly, looking down at her feet timidly. "Can I come in?" She paused , glancing up at his face, her chocolate brown eyes meeting his baby blue. "I...I have nowhere else to go…"
