Chapter 4 - "Twisted Nightmare" In Pieces by Linkin Park

Grissom closed the door behind him. His office was slightly dark and quiet compared to the noise of the lab, but his heart was beating so loud, he didn't even notice the difference. Sara stood with his desk behind her, giving him an apprehensive look as he leaned against the door. Grissom's eyes rose from the floor, meeting Sara's gaze for the first time, and at that moment, she knew.

Deep down in heart and soul, she knew; It was over. Her life as she knew it was now part of the past. Dead. Done. Finished. Over. It was gone forever and there would be no getting it back. She feared the worst, but tried so very hard to hope for the better. But she knew, it was no use.

"Sara, sit down...Please."

"Grissom, if you don't tell me what's going on right now, I'm walking out that door." Sara said, her voice barely above a whisper. Afraid that if she spoke too loud her voice would give away the fear that was building inside.

"I-I don't know where to start...."

"Maybe the beginning would be best."

Grissom sighed. "Sara, I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say. I-"

"Gil, I swear, if you don't tell me what the hell is going on then-" Sara said coldly, becoming tired of Grissom not giving her an explanation.

He couldn't hold it in any longer. "I slept with another woman."

The room fell into dead silence.

It was as if the world had stopped spinning. Sara felt sick to her stomach. Her blood ran cold. She couldn't breathe; couldn't think. All she could do was stand there looking at him, as her eyes filled with tears. She prayed to God that she had heard him wrong. That this was all some sick, twisted nightmare that she would wake up from, in the arms of the man she loved. If only that where true.

"You what?" The voice that spoke sounded nothing like her own. It was weak and fragile, and it was empty. It held no emotion. No passion. No love; Like her voice so often did whenever she talked to him.

"I'm so, so sorry. If I could go back and change things, I swear on my life, that I would. I was stupidand-and, I just wasn't thinking." Grissom pleaded.

"It's over." Tears silently streamed down her face. She could feel the blood draining from her face. She could feel her heart breaking into a thousand pieces inside of her.

"Please, Sara. Please. We can work through this, but please, please, do not say that it's over." Grissom wanted nothing more at that moment then to hold her in his arms and apologize a thousand times. He prayed to God that he would die at that very moment, because he knew he deserved it. He couldn't take seeing the only person he truly loved in so much pain, knowing that he had been the one who to cause it.

Sara took a step closer to the door, but Grissom stood his ground, blocking her from leaving. "Get out of my way, now." Sara said through gritted teeth.

"Please, can we just talk about this? I know I screwed up. I know that, Sara. Trust me I know. If I could go back in time and change things I would. I know you must hate me right now-"

"You know what's worse then hating you, Gil?" Sara said, her voice suddenly and almost unnaturally calm. "The fact that I still love you."

"Then let's just talk abou-"

"And it's because I love you that this is over." Sara said, cutting him off forcefully. "You crossed the line, Gil. And once you have there is no going back... I'll stay at Nick's tonight. I'll be by tomorrow to pick up my things...Now let me go."

"Sara, come on now-"

"Gil! You slept with another woman! And now you expect me to just forgive you so we can go on with our merry lives?! Are you really that naive?" Sara said, looking him directly in the eye.

"Please. Don't do this." Grissom begged.

"Don't you do that. Don't you try and make me the bad guy in this. I didn't do anything, Gil. You did this allyourself." Sara moved past Grissom and walked out the door, letting it slam shut behind her.

Sara walked down the hallway of the lab, people staring at her as she passed, but she didn't care. She hadn't even realized that she was still crying until her vision became blurred, she wiped the tears away angrily.

His words where echoing in her head. Over and over, like a broken record. "I slept with another woman."

She'd heard the phrase, 'One moment can change everything.' but she'd never actually believed it to be true. But oh how she was wrong. One sentence had changed her life. She had gone from happily in love to being impetuously alone and empty.

Grissom stood in his office. The words spoken moments ago, ringing in his ears. Never in his life had he known someone to be so stupid. And he was the stupid one. He'd screwed up everything. His life had been so perfect, and now he left it broken. Lying in pieces in front of him. And he knew, no matter how hard he tried to put it together again, it would never be the same.

He had shattered the most precious thing life had to offer. Love. It has taken him so long to find love and even longer to make it a reality. And now, in a single moment, it was gone. Never again would they have the same trust. Never again would they look at each other the same way. Never again would he hear her utter the words "I love you". If that was not disheartening, he didn't know what was.

He'd emotionally stabbed himself in the heart. He felt as if he was near to dying, although this was far worse then death could ever be. So here he was, bleeding out from a wound he had made. There was only one person that could heal him, and he knew she didn't want a thing to do with him. Let alone mend his broken heart, when her own was most likely crushed.

Grissom felt the world outside the lab bustling about, going on with their busy day. But his world had stopped. The minute Sara walked out that door, his world had been reduced to nothing. It was nothing, it would be nothing. It no longer held a place in the world. He was cold and alone.

And, it was all his fault.

Please, please, please review!! Thanks!!!
