Chapter 2: Halo
Greg's POV
I don't know what I've done to upset Nick, but for most of the day he has been avoiding me like the plague and I don't understand why. I mean every time I try and walk up to Nick to say something he always makes up an excuse and walks quickly away so yeah I'm frustrated because I don't know what I did to make him angry or mad. Then it clicked oh no what if he had heard the song? Shit shit shit that's why he's avoiding me because I had to open my big mouth.
"Nice going Sanders" I muttered to myself I was on the verge of tears. How could I be soooo stupid? Now I have to find a way to repair this if I can at all. Then I saw Sara walk in she could see the tears in my eyes and she smiled sadly.
"Hey Greggo are you ok?" Sara asked she was the only one I could talk to so I shook my head.
"No Sara I think I ruined mine and Nick's friendship" I said.
"Greg why would you think that?" Sara asked.
"Because I think he heard the song I had dedicated to him and now he's avoiding me" I said Sara looked at me.
"Well have you tried to talk to him about it?" Sara asked. I nodded fast.
"Yes and every time he turns and rushes away making an excuse up! Oh Sara what have I done?" I cried Sara pulled me into a hug and I sobbed once I felt my sobs I calmed and pulled back "Thanks Sara I'm ok now" Sara nodded then got up she stormed out of the lab.
Sara's POV
I was angry oh how I was mad. How dare Nick! How dare he hurt Greg like that I was going to tear him a new once I found him. I stormed all through the lab and those who saw me coming new to stand out of my way it wasn't until later I found him sitting in the breakroom with Catherine and the others he had his phone up to his ear. I pulled the door open violently causing everyone to jump just as Nick hung up the phone I stalked over to him they could see the fury in my eyes. Nick opened his mouth when I struck him in the face shocking everyone even him.
"Sara what the hell?"
Nick's POV
I had just hung up the phone for no one new what I was doin'. I had called the radio station just a few minutes ago then called Judy to turn on the radio so it can blare throughout the lab when suddenly the door to the breakroom came opened everyone that was beside me looked over only to see Sara standin' there she had that fury look in her eyes and I was wonderin' what got her in that state until she came stalkin' towards me then suddenly slappin' me across my face. I look back at her stunned mouth hung opened and all.
"Sara? What the hell?" I yelled out
"You deserved that you fucking jerk" Sara spat. I looked at her confused.
"Sara what in the hell are you talkin' about? What did I do?" I asked.
"What did you do? What did you do? I'll tell you exactly what you did you hurt Greg! You hurt him real bad" Sara stated I looked at her for a moment.
"Wh-what?" I asked.
"Nick he was crying when I walked into the DNA lab he thinks your friendship is over now and which it probably is because he says you have been avoiding him" Sara yelled angrily I gasped.
"No no no no! I wasn't avoidin' him because of that! I promise I didn't mean to hurt him like that, but if my little plan is goin' to work then I needed to avoid him" I explained.
Sara seemed to have calmed down "What plan?" Sara asked curiously.
"You'll see...right about...now" I said and just on cue the radio cracked to life.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen I just a request. I have had Nick Stokes from the crime lab request a song for a specail someone. Greg Sanders so here it is Beyonce's Halo"
Greg's POV
I sat there in my lab wondering if NY could use another lab tech because after tonight I don't think I can handle working in the same building as Nick anymore. I let out a sad sigh when suddenly the intercom sounded and what I heard completely stunned me.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen I just a request. I have had Nick Stokes from the crime lab request a song for a special someone. Greg Sanders so here it is Beyonce's Halo"
I looked out into the hallway and found Nick standing there with that smile on his face. I got up and slowly walked out of my lab as did everyone around and the song began.
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
My mouth hung opened was Nick trying to say what I think he was? But the look in his eyes told me that he was, but I found myself unable to move for fear that this was nothing, but a dream. A good dream at that. I continued to stand there staring into his eyes as the song continued.
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Tears flooded my eyes and I found myself able to move unaware that I had been moving in the first place until both Nick and I were face to face. He had that tender look in his eyes and that smile that could make even the straightest guy fall for him. I turned my head when I caught someone out of the corner of my eye and there stood Nick's parents with that smile on their faces. It was a smile of pride and that's when I found my face being turned and Nick's were inches away from mine neither one of use broke eye contact.
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Once the song ended and the intercom turned off we continued to stare at one another. Just when I thought I could breath once again I found Nick's lips against mine and the touch was electrifying to say the least. I immediately opened my mouth to allow him access and we shared the most sweetest kiss I have ever had in a long long time. When we finally pulled away to allow ourselves to breath he rested his forehead against mine.
"Greg baby I love you! I'm sorry that you thought I was avoidin' you, but I had to if this was goin' to work! I'm just glad it did" Nick said I laughed and nodded snuggling up into this chest as his arms circled around me.
"Yeah I'm soooo stupid I'm sorry if Sara said or did anything I just thought you hated me because of that song I had dedicated to you" I said Nick chuckled.
"Oh no quite the opposite in fact. I was thrilled to know that you loved me just as I do you and I planned to tell you even if the whole lab had to know" Nick said then the lab started cheering I looked over and saw that Nick's parents had left I turned back to him.
"Your mom and dad just left" I pointed out Nick nodded.
"Yeah they had to go back to Texas, but told me to bring you the next time I get off" Nick said I nodded.
I sighed happily as I finally had Nick. Things turned out differently and for the better. I didn't need to move after all because in the end I found that Nick loved me just like I love him and in my opinion that's all that mattered.
END...
