Home, her home

Only time could tell …
Home, her home …
Chapter 21

Grissom helped me into the wheelchair, and soon we where on our way home. Her home … Well okay, we first made a quick pit stop at my house, to get some clothes, books and my laptop. I wouldn’t survive without those things, because I wouldn’t be able to do anything more then to read.

We arrived at Cath’s house a while later, and Grissom helped me out of the car and into the hose, he sat me down on the couch and I was dosing off right away, Cath noticed and told me that she was to get me some blankets and a pillow and make my bed in the guestroom. A quarter later I was trying to sleep but every time that I dozed of the awful images of the beating and my fear came into my mind and I scarscared.

Cath’s POV

Grissom left shortly after we got Sara in bed. I was preparing some diner and waiting for Lindsey to come home. The bell rang and I opened the door. Lindsey jumped inside and my sister followed her.

“Is Sara here?” Lindsey asked me as she jumped up and down in excitement. And for a second I was asking myself who was more excited that Sara was here, she or I. I was glad at least she adores Sara, which would make the situation better for all of us.

“Yes, she’s here, Linds, but she’s asleep and I don’t want you to wake her up she needs her sleep, okay?”

“So where is she sleeping in your bed or in the guestroom?” My sister asked me with a smirk crossing her face.

“In the guestroom of course,” Lindsey walked into the living room and I could hear her turn the television on. “Where else would she be?” I asked my sister.

“Look Cath, I’m your sister not stupid. I see the look in your eyes when you talk about Sara. And you’ve spend more time with her then with Linds, not that I mind, it’s about time that you think about yourself for once.”

I was stunned and I blushed. How did she know? Was it that obvious, I had never mentioned Sara in more then a colleague way.

“Hush Cath, don’t forget to breath. No one knows but me, what did you expect I’ve known you all my life. I know your reactions.”

“But how?” I could barely ask her.

“Cath, I’ve always known, being bisexual or gay is nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve noticed your gazes at girls in school and at friends. I just knew, and it always kind of surprised me that you never told me and that you always managed to get home with a boyfriend. But the biggest surprise to me was when you came home and announced that you where going to marry that bastard. And my heart almost broke when I found out that he only did it because he knocked you up and when I first noticed that he was abusing you I just couldn’t believe it. Cath all I want is for you t hap happy and in love for once, with the right person who loves you just as much, and it doesn’t matter that that particular person is a woman.”

I breathed out sharply and I knew that she was right. I had never been really happy in a relationship with a man, it always felt as if something was missing. I was relieved that she was so supportive. But then my thoughts where roughly interrupted by screams that came from the guestroom. I quickly turned and opened the door and ran into the room.

“Sara, Sara honey please, wake up.” I said to her while I softly shook her awake. “Sara wake up, your save it’s just a dream?”

Sara fluttered her eyes open and the color came back on her face. Her body was covered in sweat and she breathed fast.

“Sara? Are you with me?” She nodded her head and swallowed heavily. “It was all just a dream, calm down okay honey.”

My sister had been standing in the doorway, but I saw her move away and close the doehinehind her. And I knew that we where alone again.

“I’m afraid to sleep, every time I close my eyes I see that bastard.” She whispered softly I could barely hear her.

I moved my face closer to her. “And if I stay here would that help?” I whispered back.

“I think it would, would you do that for me?”

I lay down next to Sara and rested my head on the pillow. “Anything to make you happy?”

She moved closer towards me until our body’s made full contact. And I felt her body relax as she drifted of into a deep sleep. For the first time that day I noticed how tired I was. And I yawned and drifted of into a deep sleep as well.
