CPOV:

It had been almost a year since I had seen Eric except the occasional glimpses on t.v.I was always depressed because of it.

I was watching t.v. sadly when Horatio busts through the door.

"What is it Horatio?" I asked sadly.

"They found him guilty! You're done! You can go back to Eric!" he said as I jumped up.

I jumped up to fast and Horatio caught me.

"Come on I'm taking you to the lab." Horatio said as we jumped into the hummer.

We arrived at the lab a few minutes later.

"I can't do it. I can't go face them after a year. What if they're mad, or worse what if they've moved on?" I said thinking only of Eric as I spoke.

"He hasn't Calleigh." Horatio said guessing the direction of my thoughts.

So we walked in -me with my hood up and my hair in my face- to the break room where H had told everyone to meet him. He had something important to show them.

We walked in the break room and pulled the blinds around the room so no one else could see.

"What is it H? I was fixing to run that DNA when you called." Natalia asked confused.

"Yeah." Ryan, Alexx, and Valera supported.

Eric sat silently, looking sad and uninterested.

"Well about a year ago you were all lied to." Horatio started and Eric's face snapped over and he looked happy, but like he was fixing to cry.

He was the first and only person to look at me and when he saw my eyes he started crying silently.

"What are you talking about H?" the other four asked.

"I'm talking about I lied to you all. Think. What was the biggest thing to happen about a year ago?" he asked in a rush.

"Well...Calleigh...died." they said hesitantly with sadness on their faces.

"Exactly. I lied to all of you that day." H said quietly.

"About what?" they asked in a whisper.

"Calleigh isn't dead. We faked her death." H said gesturing towards me as I took off the hood and moved my hair.

Eric was the first one to come towards me.

We hugged and he kissed my lips, hair, forehead, and cheek.

"Eric! I'm so sorry. I've missed you so much." I cried.

"Calleigh!" the rest or them said and they all hugged me.

AFTER WORK:

"Cal I'm going up there to sing. I wrote a song while you were gone." Eric said walking to the stage and he started singing.

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love

Purpose hard to find

While I recall all the words you spoke to me

Can't help but wish that I was there

Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you

Is to hold her when I'm not around

When I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

But I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again, oh no

Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road

There's no one here while the city sleeps

And all the shops are closed

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you

Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

To hold her when I'm not around,

When I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

Some search, never finding a way

Before long, they waste away

I found you, something told me to stay

I gave in, to selfish ways

And how I miss someone to hold

When hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love

Hope is hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

To hold her when I'm not around,

When I'm much too far away

We all need the person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

After he finished he came over to me and hugged me.

Afterwards at home I asked Eric about the Ryan thing.

"About that Cal, we didn't even mess with it after you 'died'. But I talked to H, and Natalia, amd they said that we're getting on that right away." he said.

A shiver rolled down my back and Eric held me tighter.
