Make Me Believe

Summary: Look in my eyes and tell me we'll be alright......
Dis.: I don't own CSI and this song belongs to Sugarland!!! I do advise you listen to it.

I got miles of trouble spreadin' far and wide
Bills on the table gettin' higher and higher
They just keep on comin', theres no end in sight
I'm just holding on tight...
I've got someone who loves me more then words can say
And I'm thankful for that each and every day
And if I count all my blessings, I get a smile on my face
Still hard to find faith..

******************

Catherine walks into Gils office shutting the door behind her. Everything is quiet except for the tarantula in it's cage. She sets the CD she had burned on his desk, and she sticks the post it on top of it. Backing out of the office she locks the door again and leaves the lab.

*******************

But if you look in my eyes
And tell me we'll be alright
If you promise never to leave
You just might make me believe

*******************

Gil walks in later that night and spots the CD. He reads Catherines note and sticks it in his CD player. It was his first night back since his heart attack and he was suprised to see Catherine had come in. Pressing the play button he listens to a few strums of a guitar before a voice comes through.

********************

Its just day to day tryin' to make ends meet
What id give for an address on easy street
I need a deep margarita to help me unwind
Leave my troubles behind...

********************

Catherine sits her stack of bills on the table and opens her check book. She had just cashed her pay check and she figured she could pay the most important ones then work on paying the minimum on her 2 credit cards. Pressing the play button on her stereo remote country music starts flowing out of the speakers. It was the CD for the song that Catherine burned Gil. He would be probably listening to it.

********************

It's just day to day tryin' to make ends meet
What I'd give for an address on easy street
I need a deep margarita to help me unwind
Leave my troubles behind...

********************

Gil opens his cell phone and hits his speed dial for number one and waits a few seconds before the other end picks up," Willows residence"

"Cath it's me"

"Hey"

"I just finished listening to that CD....can we talk over breakfast...please?"

"Meet me at the diner at 8:30 we can talk there"

"Lindsey?"

"I'll have just dropped her off at school"

"I'll be there"

"I know," she hangs up the phone and pays the last bill she could for the day.

****************

I used to believe in us
When times got tough
Lately I'm afraid that even love is not enough

*****************

Catherine walks into the diner in torn up, staind, cut off Daisy Duke shorts and a Fox Riders Co. t-shirt. Gil is sitting in the corner booth and she walks over to it sitting down. He looks up at her and she smiles," I take it you liked the song?"

"Kinda. Made me think about a lot too"

"That's why I gave it to you"

"I'm sorry about the past few months"

"Gil you had a heart attack after I repeatedly told you to change your diet"

"I know it's.....I didn't think anything would happen"

"I just wish you would have listened to someone instead of tuning them out. Your doctor even told you that your bad levels were off the chart, a walking heart attack"

"I don't know what to do to make you see that I'm sorry"

"I want you to tell me that in 3 weeks when we get married we'll be okay, that we can have sex and not worry about you having a heart attack, tell me your going to be there when we have kids"

"We are going to be okay"

"That's not good enough," she gets up and leaves the diner walking to her car. He runs out and stops her. She looks up at him tears shining in both of their eyes," You can't just give up. I didn't give up Catherine and you are.....I'm sure as hell am not going to let you go any further"

"Let me?? You're not going to let me??"

"Your mine Catherine," he pulls her to him and dips her. She looks into his eyes and then he claims her lips with hunger making her eyes slip closed. He pulls back and lets her stand up. She looks at him slapping him," That's for thinking you own me," she leans up and kisses him," That's for knowing I'm yours and I always will be"

"That hurt you know?"

"Why don't we go fix it down by the lake?"

"That sounds nice"

But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we'll be alright
If you promise never to leave
you just might make
Oh, you just might make me
You just might make me believe
