Chapter 25 - "I'm Never Going To Let You Go" I Never Told You by Colbie Caillat

Grissom looked at Nick in disbelief. "You're sure, Nick?"

Nick looked down at the letter in his hands. "Yeah. I am. Sara said we both knew from the start this would end badly. And I did. I just didn't want to believe it...She loves you, Griss. She really loves you."

"I swear to you, Nick, I'll never do anything to hurt her again."

"I know you won't, cause I'll be there watching." He said, grinning.

"Are you two gonna kiss and make up, or are we going to go stop Sara from getting on a plane?" Catherine said.

"How do you know you she's flying?" Nick asked.

"I don't. But if I were her, I'd want the fastest way to get the hell out of town and that's definitely not by car." She said as she moved towards the door.

Nick stood and put the letter in his pocket. "Come on, Griss. You don't want her to get on the plane do you?"

Grissom just sat there for a moment. "Am I doing the right thing, Nick? I cheated on her, I left, I come back and ruin everything all over again, and then I go after her. This isn't like the movies. We don't always get the endings we want...How can I even ask her to love a person like me?"

"First, you're doing the right thing. Don't doubt that. Yeah, you did cheat on her. You screwed up a bunch of stuff. She gets that, you do, hell we all get that. But she loves you, Grissom. She may not be ready to love you right away, but give her a chance. And Griss?"

He looked up, waiting for Nick to continue.

"You loves bugs more than most people. Sara dated you because she likes you for who you are...You don't have to ask her to love you; she already does."

Sara sat in her car outside the airport, contemplating on whether or not she should go in. She kept wondering if she was doing the right thing or not. Leaving just felt wrong but she couldn't stay there and face both Nick and Grissom. Not to mention the rest of the team and the lab, because by now all of them had surely heard the news.

Now she knew how Grissom felt when he had left. It wasn't the same situation, but somehow she understood why he left. The fear of having to face reality. A reality you had nothing to do with.

Sara knew no matter how far away she ran, she couldn't run from this. She closed her eyes, letting the tears escape. "Why?" The word fell from her lips as a whisper.

Opening her eyes, she saw a black SUV. Suddenly the tears stopped coming. She watched in surprise as Grissom got out, followed by Nick and Catherine. She slowly got out of her car, her legs unsteady beneath her.

"Sara."

She swallowed hard as stopped a few feet in front of her. "You're not a dream are you?"

Grissom smiled at her. "No. I'm not."

Sara smiled back at him. "You came after me."

"I wasn't about to let the woman I love fly off to who knows where."

The two of them stood there in silence for a moment; just looking at each other.

"I know I may be asking this to soon and if you could find it in your heart to forgive me if it is, but Sara...will you have me back? Be-before you answer that just listen to me, please?"

Sara didn't say anything, so Grissom continued. "When I left, I had a lot of time to think. I kept trying to come up with a rational explanation for what I did, but there isn't one. There's no logical reason for it.

But I know it was wrong. And if I could turn back time, I would. I-I know, you've heard this before, and they're just words and it's not going to change anything. I get that. And I'm just glad that you're even talking to me. Asking you to forgive me is probably stupid and naive, but I'm asking you, Sara.

And I'll give you all the time in world. Don't give me an answer now, just think about it and do what's right for you. I love you, Sara. And if you find that you don't love me, and that you love Nick, then be with him. Then be happy.

I only what what's best for you."

Sara just watched him; her eyes brimming with tears again.

"I miss your blue eyes. I miss the way we could speak a thousand words with one look. Every time I close my eyes, I see your face looking back at me. I miss everything about you, Gil.

And I can't believe that I still love you. I spent hours lying awake at night wondering what kind of horrible person I must be because I'm in love with a man that cheated on me."

Grissom physically flinched at her words.

"But..." Sara continued softly. "I should have told you this a long time ago. I don't care about what you've done. I mean, I do, but it's in the past. You did it, we fought, it's over. After all the things we've been through, we're still standing. We're standing together.

I don't need any more time, Gil. When you left, that was time enough for me to figure things out. The only reason I was going to leave is because there was some stupid part of me that just wanted to see if you would come after me. And you did.

I forgive you. Even though every other part of my body is screaming at me not to, my heart is telling me to love you. And I do. I love you, Gil. No matter what you've done.

I do want your heart, Gil. And even though I may have never told you, you've held mine for a long, long time."

Grissom took a step closer to Sara, so that they were face to face. "I love you, Sara Sidle."

"I love you too." She whispered against his lips.

He leaned down to kiss her. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm never gonna let you go." She said, and then, he kissed her.

Please review! Thanks! :)
