CHAPTER 6 - Falling Down - Duran Duran

Grissom spent the rest of the day with everyone, having a good time. Grissom and Sara were happy that they where finally out in the open, even thought no one knew that they where engaged before.

Around 10 they all decided to go home since they had to work that night. Grissom dropped Sara off at home and then headed to the lab to get some paper work done before shift.

Sara went inside and fed Hank who was happily waiting by the door. She then decided to check her e-mail to see if Abby had e-mailed her back.

Sure enough she had. It was a long e-mail too. It read-

'Hey Sara,

I was so happy to hear back from you. I guess I'm doing okay. I always seem to find something else wrong with my life though. If it's not one thing it's another. My parents don't fight as much now which is very nice, but now they seem to ignore me even more. Last week I skipped a day of school and neither of my parents noticed. So I just did all the work the next day anyway. It just bugged the heck out of me that no one noticed.

Then the other day I was telling my parents that I was a little mad at my sister, because I had cleaned our room and then she cam home and it was a mess again. Yesterday I found out from my sister that both of my parents had told her what I said. I feel like I can't trust them anymore. And that sucks feeling like you can't trust your parents. I get so sick of my sister complaining about how her friends act. And then she comes to me expecting advice that I can't give her. Then she complains all the time that she's tired. It's like well if you won't stay up until 1'o clock in the morning then that won't happen.

This summer my sister is going on a mission trip. Everyone says I'm gonna be next. But what if I'm not? I don't want to be my sister. I want to be me. I'm not into history and English in school. I'm not into other cultures. I'm not outgoing. I'm quiet and shy. I like science and writing. I listen to hard core rock and some happy stuff. I'm happy (sometimes) sitting in the house all day. I just want people to get that I'm not her.

I'm nervous with how my dad is going to act when she's gone this summer. I have a feeling that my parents might fight again. My dad might expect more out of me. My mom will be a nervous wreck, I'm sure. If he asks me to do something, if it's not done within an hour or so, he bites my head off. Sometime I won't do it just to bug him. I know I shouldn't, but I do.

My mom is a whole different story. She hate's me spending so much time on the computer chatting with my friends. But she doesn't get how much they mean to me. Even though I'm probably never meet them, because there are at least a few state's between us. I do have to admit that having a friend down the block would be nice. They are so nice though. They tell me it's good to let this stuff out and that anytime I need to talk that they are there, and I know that. But I'm not good at talking. I'm good at doing this. Writing.

As you know I'm really into music and one song by Anna Nalik, it fit's me perfectly. She says 'If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threatening the life it belongs to'. That is so true for me. You would not believe how good I feel now that I'm actually talking about this stuff. I guess I'm selfish. I still want someone who I can call or go and see anytime.

But you know last week a couple day's I didn't even leave the house. One day I spent 1 and 1/2 hours in my room. And that sucks. And you know the truth is...I'm used to it.

Okay so enough about me and my complaining. And sorry to burden you with all this. Now about you! How are you? How are things with you and Grissom going? Tell the team I say hello. Hope you are doing well.

Love Abby'

Sara stared at the computer screen. She didn't know what to say to her. Abby was right. All her friends where miles away from her. Sara wanted to help but the truth was, she couldn't. But then she got the perfect idea.

Then her cell phone rang.

"Hey Griss, what's up?" Sara asked, feeling better now that she had a plan to help Abby.

"I think you're gonna want to see this..."
