AN: I Can't thank you guys enough for the reviews you gave me inspiration to continue. So here is the second to last Chapter in Forbidden Love Part 1.


Chapter 13-Is this really Goodbye?

Sara drove as fast and safely to the airport as she could go. When she parked the car at the drop off section she raced inside the airport, ignoring the airport security guy telling her she couldn't park there.

By the time she got inside she realized that she didn't know where she was going or what gate to go to then she remembered what Greg said into her ear. 'Costa Rica.'

She smiles and looks up at the board that said the flight statues, when she saw Costa Rica's statues was delayed, she sighed in relief then saw the time, it should be boarding any minute now but when she saw the gate number she sighed again, she had three minutes to get to other side of the airport.

She took off running, avoiding in running into anybody. As she was passing by people they were looking her way wondering different things, could she be late for her plane? Was she rushing to met somebody off the plane? or the clichéd ending of a romantic movie could she be stopping someone from going on a plane?

Sara was almost there when the flight attendant said on the intercom "First call for boarding the flight to Costa Rica." She hoping Grissom wasn't one of those people who likes to get on the plane right away.

Sara got to the waiting area a few seconds later and looked around. She began to worry when she didn't spot him, then finally the man of her dreams got up from his seat and started walking to the boarding attendant, she moves past some more people and when he was just about to turn in his ticket she yelled. "Gilbert Grissom!"

Grissom looked around at the sound of her voice and when he saw her they just stood still staring at each other but it was short lived when the person behind him said. "sir some of use would like to get on the plane."

He looks behind him and said "Sorry."

He gets out of line and stands in a spot that he was out of the way from people. Sara was walking to him they both had eye contact the whole way and when she got close enough she spoke. "I hoped I wouldn't miss your flight."

He was surprised she came. "Why are you here?"

She looks at him and does a bold move. She puts her hand on his cheek, she felt him tense but she kept her hand where it was there was no lines in their way now it was just them. After she rubbed her thumb up and down his cheek she said. "I can't tell how much my life changed from the moment I met you, when I saw your eyes for the first time it felt like I was woken up from a very long sleep and the night that you held…"

Grissom shook his head and said. "Sara don't." He couldn't stand to hear this, it hurt to much.

She shook her head and said. "let me finish, please." She knew her voice was going to crack but she didn't care she had to tell him this. After she took a breath, she continued. "When you held me that night it made me feel alive and in a wonderful dream I never wanted to get out of or your arms, Grissom the reason I came her was to tell you that I…."

She was cut off when he puts a finger to her lips to stop her he couldn't bare to hear those words just to turn and leave. He takes her hand that was on his cheek and holds it then takes his finger off her lips and says. "I can't hear you say those words, because if you say them, then I can't get on the plane and I have to leave." He stops and wipes Sara's tears that was going down her cheek and said. "Sara you have the whole world at your fingertips you don't need me around right now, it is better if I leave." Sara started to shake her head and more tears going down and he puts his other hand on her other cheek and said. "yes Sara it is, believe me, trust me." It hurt to say this to Sara but he had to do it.

Sara looked into his eyes and said. "I do trust you but…"

She was cut off by him again. "Then go with that trust, please?"

They stare at each other and both showing how much this was hurting them and she didn't want to make this any harder, so she just nodded.

He took one of his hands off her cheek and without realizing it their heads were moving closer to one another and before their lips touched Grissom stopped and waited to see if she was going to back away it was her choice to kiss him or not but he was happy when she didn't stop, she kissed him, he kissed her back and it was a very powerful and emotional one.

When they pulled back they put their foreheads together, to catch their breaths, they closed their eyes and both of them silently said in their minds what that they couldn't say out loud.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

He takes his forehead off hers just to replace it with his lips, After he let them linger there for a second longer, he pulls back and puts one of his hands back on her cheek and when he touched her skin, Sara opened her eyes again and looked at him, she wanted to look into those blue eyes as long as she could. He wiped some more tears away and said. "you will do fine in college and beyond. Just remember I will never forget you, bye Sara."

And with one more kiss to her forehead he turned and walked back to the boarding attendant as she got on the intercom. "Last call for the flight to Costa Rica." He turned in his ticket and with one last look at her he was gone.

Sara watched the man who took her heart with him with tears going down her cheeks, a few minutes later she wiped them away and walked out the airport with a broken heart. Hoping one day the fates will bring them back together.


AN: Yes Grissom did leave but their story is not over? Or is it? One more chapter. Then a Sequel, any one? Let me know.
