Chapter 11
I can't live in the past I need the future
Catherine called Jenn as soon as we got home and she immediately agreed in taking Lindsey for the weekend.
“Sara? Can you call the airline for tickets and I’ll start dinner?” She asked me while she put down the phone.
“Well as long as you don’t put meat in that food, it’s alright with me.” I called the airport and got some tickets for the Saturday morning flight to San Fraco. co. Half an hour later, we sat down at the table and ate our dinner. We cleaned the table and dishes and took Lindsey to Jenn.

We were all waiting in the break room for Grissom to hand us some new assignments. Catherine and I were talking softly on the couch while Nick and Warrick where yelling toward the television screen which was showing a football match.
Minutes later we where joined by Grissom. “Catherine, Warrick, I got a suicide at the Mirage for you and” he said while he turned towards Nick, who was still taken by the view on the television. “Nick, Nicky you and Sara are with me on a double murder.” Nick still didn’t react until I gave him a punch in the shoulder. “Hey pretty boy are you coming.”
“What? Oh yeah I’m coming.” He said while he quickly followed me.

Saturday morning,
McCarran Airport. Las Vegas
I breathed in and out in order to get my nerves back in check.
“Sara? Are you afraid of flying?” Catherine asked me, sitting besides me in the airplane that would take me home.
“Afraid, that is kind of an understatement, I’m petrified.” I said while the plane slowly moved towards the take off. I grabbed Catherine’s hand and held it in mine.
“Nothing will happen as long as you don’t forget to breathe.” Catherine told me with a reassuring smile. While I let go off the air that I was apparently holding back.
"Oh yeah breathing, that would be smart." I laughed nervously, Catherine thought that it was because of my fear of flying. However, there was something else that made me more nervous then the whole flying thing.
After a couple of minutes, the plane steadied itself and I calmed down a little. " Can you give me my bag?" I asked Catherine, as she opened the compartment that held our bags. Catherine was watching me intensely while I was searching for something in my bag. When I finally found what I had been searching for.
"I wanna give you this, I bought it with Linds a while back. But I was kind of waiting until the right nt.\nt." I whispered while I handed Catherine a little package. "I just want to tell you that whatever happens this weekend, I will always love you and my heart belongs to you. No matter how hard this weekend will be or whatever my parents think about me, about you and about us."
“Sara! You didn’t have to do that I already knew.” Catherine squealed when she opened the box. It revealed a beautiful golden ring with a twinkling stone in the middle of the band.
"Oh my god, it’s beautiful." Catherine pulled me into a hug and kissed me. Some people around were watching us but neither of us cared. We were happy the way that we were, and that was all that mattered. I slipped the ring onto her finger and kissed her back. "Linds told me that you would love it."
San Francisco International Airport
"We need to rent a car. It will be faster and easier.” We ended up in a queue and waited until it was our turn. I signed the papers and minutes later we were inside our car.
"Do we have to make a hotel reservation?"
"I don’t know, my parents have a B&B so they will probably have the space, but I’m not sure if I want to stay there. It depends how they react."
"Well, see, we can always make a reservation later today. Shouldn’t be too hard it’s a big city."
"Whatever ever you want, sweetie. They are ypareparents. Just say the magic word and we leave."
"Thanks." I said while I started the rental car.
It was a short drive down to Tamalas Bay I showed Catherine some of the surroundings that where part of my youth.
"Would you mind if we make a quick stop at the cemetery." I had been dreading to ask Catherine if she would mind.
"No of course not, no problem."
"‘cos ehm… I really wanna see Amy’s grave. I haven’t seen it since I left and I always drove by when I came here. I ehm… ‘cos ehm I don’t want to forget her."
"Sara? Stop rambling!" Catherine said while she placed her hand down on my thigh.
"I… I wasn’t rambling." She said while she stared at the street in front of her. "Okay, maybe I was just a little."
"Sara, you’ve had your relationships in the past and I’ve had mine. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I understand, I go and see Eddie’s grave every once in a while, that´’s more because of Linds. But hey I never heard you complain about it, so why would I?"
I smiled back at Catherine. She was the greatest person I’d ever met so loving and caring.
We got out of the car and I bought some flowers at the little flower shop across the street. Ten white lilies just like I always did. I slowly walked up to the gates of the cemetery. Catherine was holding my hand to reassure me that she would be beside me nttertter what. I stopped in front of a white stone.

“Everyone thinks that it was an accident, they don’t know what really happened. Family and friends they have all been lied to. Amy’s parents and brother they all keep this image up about how much they miss her.” I said while I pointed at the gravestone.
I knelt down in front of the stone and placed the lilies on the grave. A tear slid down my face as I remembered the afternoons that we spent together thinking about the future. We would go to the same college and university so that we could be together. We thought about becoming roomies so that no one would suspect anything. We could do whatever we wanted. She was so full of life, and so beautiful.
I wiped away the tears but they just kept coming. “She must have been some kind of a girl.” Catherine said while she knelt down beside me and rubbed my back.
“Yeah she was, but now I have another great girl. And she needs my attention, I can’t live in the past, I need the future.”
