Chapter 13 "If That Wasn't Love" In Between By Linkin Park

Warrick and Nick stood outside the lab; letting the sun touch their faces with warmth. But the shining sun did not seem to match their moods; it should be dark. Cold. Empty. Not bright and cheerful. It somehow felt wrong.

"What's gonna happen, Nick?"

He turned to look at his best friend, who he'd known for years. Nick saw the look of anger on Warrick's face. A look of anguish. He truly wished he could answer that question. Bring comfort to the distress that was surely eating away at the man that stood beside him.

"We trusted him, man. I looked up to him, but now...Now I don't know." As Warrick spoke, it seemed as if the anger began to fade and was replaced by disappointment and sorrow.

"I know, Rick. I know."

"He loved her. I mean, truthfully, I've never seen a guy in love like Griss was with Sara." Warrick said, almost smiling at the happy memory. "He'd walk into the room where she was and it was like a light was flipped on. They glowed, Nick. You could see it in there eyes. If that isn't love I don't know what is."

"You mean 'was'." Nick said, his voice flat.

Warrick turned to look at him. "What?"

"You mean 'If that wasn't love'."

"Yeah...Yeah, I guess your right."

Grissom walked into his so called home. Although right now it just seemed to remind him of what he'd done. Everywhere he turned he would see a picture of them together. Smiling. Laughing. In love. He throat tightened and he had too look away.

Making his way up the stairs to the bedroom he couldn't help but start to question his decision. While writing the letter to Sara, it had seemed like the right thing to do. But now...His heart told him one thing and his mind another. People always say to listen to your heart, so that is what he would do.

He placed the letter on Sara's nightstand along with another letter he'd written. Taking one last look around the room he knew he had to do it. Nothing could change his mind now. Well, one thing could. But that would involve Sara saying she forgave him and that they would work things out. He knew it would be a long time if ever for that to happen. And so he took the suitcase out of the closet.

There was truly no going back now.

Greg saw Warrick and Nick looking forlorn as they stood outside the lab. He turned to look at Sara in the passenger seat beside him. Somewhere on the way back to the lab she'd fallen asleep; which she surely needed. He thought she looked exceptionally peaceful. If only she could stay like that.

Pulling into his normal spot Greg got out as quietly as possible, trying his best not to wake her. Closing the door softly behind him, he walked over to where Nick and Warrick stood. Both gave him a questioning look when Sara did not appear with him.

"Hey, she uh, fell asleep on the way back. Figured I'd let her rest for a while. Truth be told I need some sleep too." He said, looking worse then both Warrick and Nick felt.

"Yeah, I bet she's exhausted." Nick said as he held back a yawn.

"We all are." Greg said smiling a little.

Her feet carried her down the hallways of the lab; she didn't know where she was going so she just walked. It felt cold and the darkness seemed to creep around her. The silence rang in her ears as she pressed on. With each step she took her destination seemed to fade farther and farther away. But still, she walked.

She looked all around her but not a soul was in sight. Growing tired and thirsty she wanted to stop; to rest. But her legs kept moving. Then she heard him. His voice. It was calling her name. He sounded far away. She quickened her pace, breaking into a run. She had to find him.

Looking down every corridor but to no avail. His voice grew louder, calling out her name. Telling her to come to him. She ran faster; harder. Her breathe was coming faster and faster.

Finally she saw it; an open door. As she grew closer to it, his voice got louder. This had to be it. She slowed down when she was standing just outside the door. As she looked in she saw him, just sitting there. He smiled at her. That sweet, shy smile that she fell in love with. Whenever he smiled at her like she could help but smile herself.

"I love you."

She could hear his voice but his lips didn't move.

"I love you, Sara."

Again she watched him, but he didn't move. He just sat there, looking at her. The smile on her lips began to go away as she looked at him. She tried to move closer but her feet wouldn't move.

"I love you."

She watched him begin to fade away before her eyes. She tried to scream out to him but she couldn't. She opened her mouth again but now sound came out. She started to panic. Looking at the place where he had been her heart began to beat faster. He wasn't there. Nothing was there.

Darkness began to flood around her. Her eyes were open but she couldn't see a thing. Frantically, she tried to move but her body wouldn't budge. She tried to scream, but still nothing would come out.

Sara woke with a start. Her heart was beating hard and her breathing was erratic. She looked around her and let out a sigh of relief when she realized where she was.

'It was just a dream. Get a hold of yourself.' She thought to herself.

After taking a few deep breathes her heart rate was starting to return to normal. Although the pain inside her heart seemed to be more intense. She couldn't help it when the tears formed in her eyes for the countless time in only a matter of hours.
