Waking up is the hardest part

Only time could tell
Chapter 16

I screamed as they laid me down on the backboard, and then they put me on the stretcher and moved m the the ambulance. During the whole process, Cath was there, holding my hand comforting me.

“I’ll be right back.” She said to me and whipped the tears from my face.

She speed dialed the number of her sister.

“Are you alright?” I heard her ask someone probably her sister. “Yeah we found Sara, I want to speak to Linds?”

“Hey Lindsey, yes I miss you too. Some man attacked Sara and we need to bring her to the ER. So I won’t be there to pick you up later okay sweetie.”

She was silent for a couple of seconds and then she said Goodnight to her little girl.

“Yes, I will sweetie, I love you too, Goodnight sweetie.”

She walked back to the ambulance and got in, next to me.

“Lindsey hopes that you’ll be alright soon, and she wants to visit you in the hospital.”

I tried to smile, but it hurt too much. Cath noticed it and grabbed my hand again.

“It’s okay, I’ll go with you?” She smiled at me and rubbed my hand gently.

The doors of the ambulance closed and we speeded to the ER. Somewhere during the ride I lost my consciousness, and I heard later that Cath got hysterical. When I didn’t wake up, but I couldn’t, I was too tired.

Several hours later I woke up in a bed, and for a split second I thought that it was just some crazy dream, but then I felt something against my arm and when I moved the pain was back. I opened my eyes and noticed that I was in a hospital bed, I looked around the room and noticed Grissom in a chair in the corner of the room, and Cath was sitting next to the bed, still holding my hand and she was sleeping with her head on the bed against my arm.

My movement woke her up, and she looked so happy when she saw that I was awake. She moved closer to my face, and kissed me.

“Oh thank god your awake, I thought that I lost you in that ambulance. You gave me quit a scare, I couldn’t live without you.” Her face shaded red when she realized what she just said to me. I looked at her and just smiled a weak smile. Did she really mean that, I just hope so cause I don’t want to live without her.

Suddenly we heard movement in the corner where Grissom was sitting and Cath straightened her back.

He stood up and approached the bed. “Your awake,” he said with a smile. “How are you doing?”

“How is she doing, Jesus Grissom, she’s in a hospital bed, with bruises and broken bones in every inch of her body, how would you be doing!” Cath said to him angrily.

“I’m calling the others.” He said while he walked out of the room.

“Don’t worry Hun, Warrick and Nick grabbed the bastard, hin iin interrogation right now. Brass is questioning him, he didn’t want anyone of us there. Which is probably for the better, Warrick and Nick where ready to kill him when they found him. Some police officers had to keep them away from the bastard. And well you know my reaction with that bitch that almost killed my little girl. Well I have to admit I would have done the same for you.”

“Cath, what did the doctors say, am I going to be alright?”

“You will, you have a broken leg and they are going to put a cast around it, but they have to wait until the swelling drops. You have some contused ribs, and they will take a long time to heal, but at least they aren’t broken, a broken rib could have punctured youngs.ngs. You got some stitches on your cheek and they put back the dislocated shoulder. But your gonna be okay, don’t worry about that. You’ll be back on track o tio time.” She smiled and moved a strain of hair behind my ear.

“Hey Sara, you gotta tell me, why where you so afraid about Lindsey?”

“He gave me a choice, my life or Ryan’s. He wanted me to tell him where Ryan was. I didn’t say anything so he was hitting me and …” The sound of my voice faded away, when I was trying to process what happened in my head. “I was crying, and screaming because he hurt me so much, I couldn’t breath. And then he said that he would make the choice easier for me.” A tear ran down my face and Cath whipped it away. “He said that he knew where he could find you and … and Lindsey. And he said, you know I already killed one little girl, so why shouldn’t I kill an other little adorable girl.” I was crying uncontrollable and Cath was trying to comfort me.

“You shouldn’t have worried about me or Lindsey. They gave her protection, Brass arranged it. And they immediately send some officers to Janice and Ryan.”

The door opened and Warrick and Nick busted into the room, Cath stepped back, and for the first time she let go off my hand. Nick and Warrick both stood besides my bed telling me that they grabbed the bastard and that they where so glad that I was okay. Cath and Grissom where just watching the whole scene.

Half an hour later Cath told them to leave, I was so glad. I just wanted to sleep, for as long as I could, but on the other hand, I was afraid to sleep. Afraid that he would show up in my dreams, or rather in my nightmares.

Nick and Warrick both kissed me on my cheek and left the room. Grissom stepped closer to the bed, I could see grief and pain in his eyes.

“I’m sorry Sara, I’m so sorry.” He whispered.

“Sorry, why would you be sorry, there is nothing you could have done to prevent this.” When I reached my hand to his and grabbed it. “Don’t worry about me I’m still alive, I won’t give up.” He smiled weakly.
