Chapter 6 - "I Feel So Empty" We Are Broken by Paramore

Grissom heard the knock on the door but didn't move to open it. He hoped that whoever was there would just go away. They knocked again. Still, he stood there. Motionless. Right where Sara had left him.

"Griss, what are you doing? You know we still have cases right?" Catherine said, coming into the room. "Earth to Grissom!?" She said when he still showed no reaction to her being there.

Catherine, being who she was, shook it off and got right on to why she had come to talk to him in the first place. "So how come Sara came to me to ask for the night off?"

At the sound of her name, Grissom felt his heart clench. He wanted nothing more then to find a dark hole, crawl into it and never come out again. His mind was still reeling from before. Going over every small detail. Engraving the words into his mind. "You know what's worse then hating you, Gil? The fact that I still love you." At least he knew that somewhere in her heart she still loved him. He just didn't know how long that was going to last.

"Gil! Are you even listening?" Catherine said, becoming frustrated.

"Is she gone?" Grissom asked.

"Is who gone?"

"Sara." Her name fell from his lips like the first rain drop falling from the sky. Smooth and graceful. He'd said her name thousands of times, but this time was different. He didn't know how to explain it, it just was.

Catherine shook her head, trying to figure out what in the world was going on. First Sara acts weird and asks for the night off, and now Grissom was acting just as strange, if not more so. "No, she was talking to Nick just a little bit ago."

"I-I have to stop her." Grissom said, his voice giving no emotion.

Catherine sighed in annoyance. "Why? I already told her she could! She said she wasn't feeling well and quite frankly the girl needs a night off every once in while. God knows she hasn't taken one in at least a year."

"I just-I have to. I can't let her go like this."

"Like what Grissom!? You know you are really starting to piss me off! First Sara's acting strange and now you're acting like a blabbering idiot! Would you just-"

"I cheated on Sara."

The words hit Catherine like a slap in the face. Her jaw dropped, the words catching in her throat. She didn't know what to say or do.

"Catherine, I don't know what to do. I've never felt like this before. I feel so cruel. So awful. What do I do?" Grissom's voice was close to breaking. He looked like a small child, lost. Away from everything he ever knew, with no one to tell him where to go.

"Grissom, I can't. I-I can't help you with this. I'm not even sure I can be around you right now. I cannot believe you did something like this. She loves, you Gil. She really loves you. I just-I don't know, Gil. I really don't know." Catherine shook her head, for the first time in a long time; she was at a complete loss for words. Nothing could even start to describe what she was thinking now.

"Tell me what to do. Please. I'm so lost."

"I just can't. I'm sorry Gil. But you made this mess and trust me, you are going to have one hell of a time trying to clean it up. And don't you ever ask me for help with this again." Catherine spit out the last words with a vengeance.

With that she turned and walked out the door. Catherine looked around the lab in search of Sara. She couldn't believe Sara had been able to keep such a calm demeanor when she had seen her just moments before. Catherine was having a hard enough time keeping her cool and she wasn't even the one who just found out her boyfriend had cheated on her.

'God, what the girl must be going through.' Catherine thought as she poked her head into the break room. Still no sign of her. Just then she saw Nick coming out of the break room.

"Nick! Where did Sara go?" She asked quickly.

He looked at her, confused. "She just left; Said she was going home. Why? What's going on now?"

Catherine didn't even wait around to give him an answer. She hurried out to the parking lot, hoping against hope that Sara hadn't left yet. Sure enough, just as she stepped out of the lab she saw Sara across the parking lot.

"Sara! Wait!"

Sara heard her name being called. She wanted nothing more then to just ignore it, get in her car and so very far away. But then she turned to see a very concerned looking Catherine rushing over to her.

"You know, Cath, I'm sorry. But I'm really not feeling good and I want to go home." Sara said, hoping Catherine would just drop whatever lecture she was sure she was about to get.

"Sara...I know."

"You know what?" Sara asked, her heart started beating faster and faster in fear that she already knew the answer to her own question.

Catherine could see the pain in Sara's eyes. It made her heart break, she knew every thought and emotion that must be running through Sara. She'd been cheated on more then once in her life and it brought pain no one could ever want.

"About...Grissom."

"He-" Sara swallowed hard, trying to keep the tears inside. "He told you?"

Catherine nodded her head, knowing that there where no words to express the things she wanted to say. She saw this young woman, full of love and life, breaking right in front of her, and she couldn't do a thing.

The tears silently came, one by one. Sara held her gaze with Catherine. Not moving, not breathing. Her lips began to quiver as the tears came faster. Now that someone knew, it was as if it was real. But Sara didn't want it to be real. She wanted to wake from this nightmare. To wake up in the arms of the man she loved so deeply.

"Sara, I so sorry." Catherine said, almost close to tears herself. She was still trying to grasp the fact and realization herself, of what Grissom had done. He had cheated on Sara. The woman that he had loved for so many years.

Catherine knew that they had been in love for years. But neither of them where ever willing to take the next step. Then it was like they literally fell into love. It happened so gracefully. So smoothly. Suddenly they where together. A pair. Two hearts made to be one. To should destined for each other. Two bodies that lived for the other.

And now, that love was broken.
