I had fallen asleep again. I found myself in my bed with the covers around me. I think I remembered him carrying me to my room. He had gently laid me on the bed and pulled the covers over me.

The aroma of breakfast didn't awake me this time. He wasn't there, waiting for me. He was gone. It was just like Grissom.

I walked into the kitchen

There was a note on the fridge from Grissom.

I'm sorry for having to leave without telling you. You were sleeping, and I didn't want for you to wake. There was a dead body I needed to see… You need to eat and rest. I left you food in the fridge and take a few days off maybe a week, so you can think over about everything. I need you to see a PEAP since I'm not suspending you.

Grissom

I looked at the time. I could still get in a few hours for work. I showered and changed my clothes and left.

As soon as I got there and clocked in, I was sped up on the case and what we had so far.

I was about to go interrogate the suspect when I heard that familiar voice behind me.

"I thought I told you to take the day off."

"I don't need it," I said as I turned around and faced an angry Grissom.

"If you didn't understand it was a order not a yes or no answer. You were supposed to stay home. We're almost finished with the case so go home."

"I can help, make it go faster. I'm good at that."

"Go home Sara or I will have to suspend you for the next few days, so you will go home."

I walked away to my locker, angry as hell.

"What's got you so mad?" Nick asked sitting on the bench in the locker room.

"Nothing Nick, I'm fine."

"You don't look like it."

"Thank you Nick for caring, but I just need to go home."

"I thought you were working a case."

"No Grissomtook me off the case and told me to go home. I'm goingto be taking a few days off for myself, it looks like."

"Well you should go home he's only thinking what's best for you. I would trust him with my life."

"I'll see you later Nicky," I said walking out of the locker room.

I decided I would use my time wisely since I wouldn't be working for awhile. I knew I would have to see a PEAP counselor which would be the only way I could go to work faster. I would just have to put on a smile and say I just had a little bit too much to drink, and it wouldn't happen again. That was how it normally went. When my mother killed my father, I had to go to counseling. I didn't like telling a total stranger about my life. It was to private. You pretend your happy, and you get out alive.

I heard a knock on the door after I had finished cleaning. It would be to early for anyone to be off shift. Who could it be?

I opened the door to find Grissom.

I let him in even though I was confused.

"I wanted to make sure you got home safely," he says right away for why he had come.

"I'm here what do you think I went to a bar to get drunk," I said pissed off that he came to babysit me.

"I think we had this discussion already. You don't drink."

"Good, but I don't understand why I can't go to work."

"You know exactly why. You have maxed out on overtime, and you need to take some time off."

I walked away from him. He maxed out on overtime more than I did. I was more than frustrated.

"Sara listen to me, please. I want for you to be happy, vacation time will do you good. I want us to be friends," he said pleading with me.

I would never be happy with out him, but I couldn't tell him that. I needed to move on for myself. He didn't want what I wanted. He wanted friendship.

"Grissom, please leave."

"Sara… You deserve better. You deserve a family of your own. I want what's best for you," he said reaching for my hand.

Why was he telling me this? Was he telling me that I deserved better then him? I wanted what he wanted.

He started to run his thumb up and down my palm. He kept looking at our hands together. I had never seen him so desperate.

"I'll take the vacation and see my PEAP counselor."

"Thank you, Sara," he sad looking into my eyes. He let go of my hands and walked out the door.

I didn't know what to do after my talk with Grissom. I couldn't move.

He wanted for me to get over him. He wanted me to live without him. I was sick and tired of him.

I was going to get over him.

Ok, it'll be smoother for Grissomand Sara in the next few chapters. Sara isn't goingto be the one going after him anymore. Grissomwill be going after Sara so the roles are reversed. lol I know it's a little short but the next will be longer. Thank you again for everyone who has reviewed and who have deicdedto start reading this story. I'll try to update soon. Thank You! And don't forget to review!!!!!!!!!! Please!!
