It was one in the morning and Sara was sleeping soundly in her soft, large, queen sized bed. The covers were draped over her as she slept dreaming about the one person she cared most about but could never tell the person how she truly felt. The window was open and a soft cool breeze blew through the bed room. The thin fabric of the white curtains tussled slightly as the breeze blew. The light from the full moon came through the open window and shinned onto Sara as she slept, tossing and turning sometimes. Her black Motorola cell phone laid on her nightstand right next to the black alarm clock and the white lamp. Suddenly the cell phone started to ring its loud and annoying ring tone. Sara groaned and opened her eye lids and looked at the alarm clock. It read in big bright green numbers: 1:10 am. Sara had the night off from work. Who would be calling this early in the morning? She picked up the cell phone and flipped it open.

"Hello?" She asked in a husky voice. Sara heard jagged, rough breathing on the other end. She looked at the caller I.D and saw it was Catherine's cell. She looked at it again. (Am I going crazy?) Sara thought as she kept checking the caller I.D. "Hello Cath? I know you are there. What's wrong?" Sara asked again her voice clearing up. She leaned over and turned on the light filling the room with a soft golden glow. It matched the white curtains, sheets, cover, pillows, the light oak dresser, and light oak nightstands on both sides of the bed.

"Sara?" Catherine's voice finally answered. It was very shaky.

"What's wrong Cath?" Sara asked sitting up in bed.

"Eddie he…….he abused me tonight." Catherine cried into the phone.

(When doesn't he abuse her?) Sara thought rolling her eyes. "How bad the damage?" Sara asked concerned for Catherine's safety.

"He….he….I can't talk he's………….." Catherine was saying before the line went dead.

"Catherine! Catherine! Dammit!" Sara yelled into the phone then flipped it shut. Sara got up quickly and ran over to her dresser and pulled the doors to it open. She grabbed a pair of tight light blue jeans and a tight black t-shirt and quickly changed into them. Once she was changed she pushed her cell phone into her front right pocket and grabbed her car keys and rushed out of the apartment and to her black 2005 Chevy corvette. She unlocked the car and got in and quickly started it and slammed the door shut. Not bothering to put on her seat belt she drove out of the parking lot fast and onto the street. She raced towards Catherine's place. Catherine had told Eddie she had wanted a divorce because supposedly Catherine had feelings for someone else but never told Sara who that someone else was. Sara's heart pounded in her ears as her body trembled. She knew Catherine was hurt and knew that Eddie had gone off of the edge. Sara zoomed into the neighborhood, which was silent because most people were already a sleep, people that weren't Catherine and Eddie. Sara pulled up to the side of the street in front of Catherine's house. Sara noticed that Eddie's red sports car was not in the driveway. The brunette got out of the car and quickly ran up to the front door and knocked. The door wasn't closed all the way and it slowly creaked open to reveal the messy house. Furniture was knocked everywhere. Some laying on the floor and others flipped and even some lodged in the walls. She saw a little blood spatter on the floor. Her heart sank when she saw the disturbing sight. Yes she did see a lot of this at work but she never wanted to see the person that she loved most place to be like a crime scene. Knowing Eddie wasn't home Sara had nothing to worry about. In fact if he was there she wouldn't have cared. Either way she was taking Catherine away from him. He didn't deserve her not now not ever.

"Catherine!" Sara yelled looking around in the foyer. She heard the sounds of low groans. Sara ran to the source of the groans and found Catherine lying on the living room floor behind the flipped couch. There was a cut on Catherine's head that was bleeding slightly. She had a few small cuts on her slim arms and her clothes were torn a little and covered slightly in her own blood. Tears filled Sara's eyes as she knelt down next to Catherine. Catherine had her eyes closed and was rolling her head slowly side to side groaning in pain. Sara touched Catherine's right arm gently. Immediately Catherine's body tensed. "Ssshhhh…..it is okay Cath….its just me Sara." Sara said softly trying to sooth Catherine. Catherine slowly relaxed after Sara reassured her. She slowly began to open her eyes revealing her deep blue eyes that were filled with nothing but pain. Her body was bruised and battered and hurt like hell. She had been thrown, hit, and when she had fallen down in attempt to give up he continued and kicked her several times before he took off. "Catherine I need to call this into the cops." Sara said taking out her cell phone. She was about to press in the number when a soft hand covered her right hand that held the phone. The thumb ran softly and gently over her wrist.

"Don't please. If he finds out he'll kill me." Catherine said her eyes filling with tears. Sara sighed and flipped the phone shut and sat it down onto the floor. It was going against every instinct in her body but she wanted to be sure Catherine felt saved, felt loved and wanted.

"I'm taking you home with me." Sara demanded. It wasn't an invite it was an order which Catherine didn't and wouldn't refuse. The feelings she had felt for another was for Sara. She loved the spit fire brunette. She loved everything about the brunette but could never tell Sidle her true feelings for her. Sara picked Catherine up, bridal style, and carried her out of the house. She sat Catherine down next to the car and opened the passenger's door and picked Catherine back up and put her into the passenger's seat and buckled the seat belt. Sara shut the door and rushed over to the driver's side and got in. She buckled her own seat belt and started the car and drove off now driving back to her place going the proper speed limit. Catherine was looking out the window playing the events of what happened that night in her mind. "Something on your mind Cath?" Sara asked.

"I'm just trying to figure out to tell someone how I feel that's all." Catherine replied with a heavy sigh. Sara only nodded leaving it at that. Normally she would push at Catherine but tonight Catherine had been through so much that Sara didn't feel like being pushy in anyway. Sara pulled into the parking lot of the apartment buildings and brought the car to a slow stop into a parking space. She turned off the car and got out and walked over to Catherine's side and opened the door. She unbuckled Catherine's seat belt and helped Catherine out of the car. Catherine had a little trouble getting out but once Sara wrapped her arms around Catherine's waist Catherine was fine. "Sara I can tell you anything right?" Catherine asked leaning against Sara.

"Yes you can tell me anything." Sara replied loving the fact that Catherine was in her arms. She had dreamt about holding Catherine but not about the way Catherine just ended up in her arms.

"I……………….
