Greg lets his forehead fall into his steering wheel and he sighs heavily. He had just experienced the longest and the longest day of his life. He woke up early that morning to
Sarah's excessive knocking. She had brought breakfast along and they ate together. She wanted to know a lot of things.
He told her about his teenage years and going to high school. And all about college, and his very first love interest. A man by the name of John, though Greg didn't like to talk about him to much. And finally to Nick and the last time they had both seen him.
Sarah had seen him that very night before he left the crime lab. Nothing seemed off about him, he was as spaced out as usual.
The afternoon brought nothing to Greg. Sarah left because she had to get ready, but she promised she would drive over and put on his bowtie before her and Gil went over. He followed her in his car all the way to the little building. Nicks parents chose to do it just outside of Vegas, because that is where Nick lived, and died.
The sun was just beginning to set as countless people streamed into the building from the parking lot and over the dessert. There was a closed coffin and people milled around, quietly, save for the occasional laugh or chuckle.
The speeches were many, all people Nick knew or were related to. Gil kept his speech simple and to the point. But it was touching all the same. Sarah took Greg's hand and squeezed it, which was the only thing that had kept him from bawling his eyes out.
And to the end the night small finger foods were placed in a room and people milled around, talking. Greg attempted and failed to talk with Nicks parents.
The burial would occur the following morning, but Greg couldn't go to that. He was in no way emotionally ready for something like that.
He was one of the first to leave to go out to his car. He jumps and looks over at Sarah, knocking on his window. He unlocks the doors and she climbs inside. "you left fast," she whispers.
He nods, staring out at the street in front of them, "I cant do this anymore Sarah," he says, his lip is trembling and his eyes have a glazed expression.
"Tell everyone then," Sarah say, "Stop hiding,"
"NO!, I cant do that," he says harshly, "I mean here, I can be here anymore, death is just to…to…to much,"
She says nothing, only looks at him, "why did you leave Sarah?"
"The same reason," she says, "I couldn't handle it anymore, and I wanted out"
"I want out," he whispers, looking down as a tear escapes from the corner of his eye and runs down his cheek.
