Chapter 5
Realising Consequences
Sara stretched to her full height while lying on the soft sand before sitting back upright and staring at the water. She removed her boots and socks and stood up to her full height. Sara rolled up the old baggy jeans she was currently wearing to past her knees, and leaving her boots on the sand, she walked down to the edge of the water.
The cool water lapped over her feet and it was a calming sensation. There were so many thoughts running through the brunette's head that she didn't know where to start. She slowly began to wander along the beach enjoying the feeling of the sand between her toes and the waves lapping against her ankles. As she strolled leisurely down the beach Sara decided it was time to actually think through the phone call she had just abruptly ended with the blonde beauty that she had been day-dreaming about. She looked around, and seeing no one, Sara reasoned it was ok to talk through her problems, even if she was the only one to hear them.
"That was probably the dumbest thing I've ever done." Sara shook her head and cringed at the thought of her actions. "No one hangs up on Catherine Willows. Not even Grissom is dumb enough, or has enough balls to hang up on Catherine. What the hell have I done?" She had been the victim of Catherine's wrath many times before, but she had never hung up on her before. This was going to turn into world war three!
"Way to go Sidle!" She chided herself. "Hang up on Catherine Willows…the one person you're in love with…yeah, that'll totally show her how much you love her." She stopped walking and looked out across the water. The sun was setting and casting a beautiful orange and pink glow across the water. It was a breathtaking site, but the moment was ruined by Sara's shout "YOU'RE AN IDIOT SARA! YOU REALLY, REALLY ARE!"
Sara turned on her heel and ran as fast as she could along the water's edge back towards her boots. Water splashed up at her as she moved quickly towards the place she had started from. She had hoped the short run would remove the thoughts from her mind. Usually running made her feel empty. But when Sara stopped next to her boots, she collapsed onto the sand with tears staining her face. Maybe this time she had really gone too far. Perhaps she'd finally pushed Catherine away. "What am I going to do now?" Sara sobbed, rolling onto her back.
Sara cried until there were no longer any tears for her to shed. She had exhausted herself. The sand was still warm underneath her exhausted body. She shifted onto her side and made herself comfortable. Soon enough her tiredness engulfed her and she listened to the soothing sounds of the waves as she drifted off to sleep.
