Here's chapter 6, enjoy.
Catherine's POV
Tonight sucks, there's only been one case so far and Warrick has it. It's a simple robbery so I'll bet that he'll be back soon. All my paper work's done, all my previous cases are solved, everything's done and I'm bored out of my mind. Lindsey's at a friend's house and I'm trying to think of a way to help Sara. I found out that she has a serious drinking problem. I've found over twenty bottles of vodka and over thirty bottles of beer. She did admit that she drank a lot and all those bottles were from just a week and a half but she didn't say that she had a problem. I don't think she knows that she does.
The next few months are going to be hard. I've been able to keep Sara away from alcohol for about two days and I can tell that it's taking its toll on her. She's become aggressive again and she sometimes shakes uncontrollably. Sometimes when I go to her house I'll see broken cups on the floor, holes in the walls and broken mirrors. It doesn't take much to get her to calm down but I'm afraid that one day I won't be able stop her from herself. I still love her and I always will. I'm never going to give up on her.
Walking down the halls towards the break room I see Sara in her 'lab' as everyone calls it and she's pacing around like a caged animal. I silently watch her, I need to know just how bad her anger is when I'm not around. Her fists are clenched together at her sides and she's biting her lip. On the table I see a few papers, they must be the current case she's working on. She walks back over to the table and rests her hands about shoulder's length apart and bends down. The sound of her foot steps instantly tell me she's angry.
"Why didn't you call for help? You had the perfect chance when he went for your father to get to the phone and call 911. Why didn't you call for help!" Her yell rings in my ears and I feel the anger in her voice. Her fist slams into the table forcing a few cups on the table to bounce. I jump at the sound but don't make a noise. "You had a goddamn chance and you didn't take it!" She breaks down, her walls are crumbling. She slowly falls to the floor her knee's up to her chest. I can't watch anymore, it hurts too much. I slowly approach her and sit next to her taking her into my arms.
She finally breaks down completely and is tightly hanging onto me like I was the only thing keeping her alive. Honestly I wonder if Lindsey and I are the only things keeping her alive. "Catherine... I can't... I don't..." I don't know what she's trying to say. "I don't know what I want anymore." Her words are empty, emotionless, her eyes are exactly the same. I can't stand seeing her like this. I'm taking her home.
I don't how but I manage to get her to get up and she's leaning heavily on me. I have my one arm wrapped around her waist and the other holding onto her arm that is behind my neck. We slowly make our way out to my car and I help her in and she looks deadly pale. I place my hand on her forehead and she's burning up. This doesn't look good. I need to get her home and quick.
Avoiding all the posted speed limits get us home in record time and when we get up the steps she stumbles on the last step and falls onto the ground. I'm able to stop half her body from hitting the hard the ground. She mumbles 'I'm ok.' and we make our way inside. I instantly lead her to our room and have her lie on the bed above the covers. Her boots are a pain in the ass to get off but I managed. Her tank top is a little bit harder since she is lying down and doesn't have the strength to sit up. Her body is covered in goose bumps. Her pants are easy to get off. She hasn't even moved an inch and I know she's out like a light.
She may be tan but she still looks pale. I pull the blanket over her and she looks so lonely. I need to call Grissom and tell him what's going on but I don't want to leave her and if I don't call Grissom will call either my cell phone or hers and I don't want her to wake up. I now know what it feels like to walk away from one of one's you love the most. When I hang up the phone I quickly walk back into the room and see Sara looking up at me. No words are needed and I simply climb in bed next to her. She instantly wraps her arms around my waist and pulls me closer to her. Her skin is warm to the touch and her embrace is full of love.
I can feel her lips on my neck and I feel safe. Every inch of her I can feel and I want to stay like this forever. It feels like nothing can touch me but her. Her lips are smooth and gentle against my skin and I feel her hands entwine with mine. Our love will make it through this, our love will beat down anything that comes in our way, our love will last forever.
