A/N: Normally I wouldn't post this in 2 parts, but I can't fully acknowledge everyone that I need to for this story at this point. I'm hoping that someone reading might be able to help. (NOTE: I'll be back to my other stories soon. I'm without a computer at home so I can't get much writing done. This story can be told in short bursts that I can finish during breaks and before work. As soon as the computer is fixed (or I get alternative access), I'll be posting again on the other stories. Thanks for your patience.)
First, I need to acknowledge Phil Vassar's song "Last Day of My Life". Without the song, my muse wouldn't have hit me with this idea.
Secondly (and this is where I need help), I need to recognize a STFBE fan fic writer. Unfortunately, I can't remember the writer's name nor can I remember the title of the story.
You don't have to read that story to understand this one. However, as soon as I heard the Phil Vassar song, I thought of a story that had an Author Created Character (ACC) named Amy. Therefore, it would only be prudent for me to acknowledge the writer.
I remember the story had something to do with Myles, Bobby, and this ACC Amy. Either Amy was Bobby's sister that fell for Myles or she was Myles' sister that fell for Bobby. I can't remember the story line (sorry) so not really sure where she played in the whole thing, but at least the character stuck in my mind.
If you know the story that I'm talking about, please PM me or leave feedback with the information. If I can find this out, I'll post the formal acknowledgement with the next part.
Last Day of My Life
With one last, melancholy look at the red brick house, the dark haired agent cranked the engine of his pale blue sedan and slowly pulled away from the curb. Jack Hudson couldn't believe how much things had changed in the last five years as he reflected on the words of advice he'd received from his best friend. Live like there's no tomorrow.
After Darcy left him for Los Angeles, Bobby slipped into a deep depression, spending most of his off time alone. Despite the team's efforts, he didn't want to take a chance on dating again. That is, until Amy Payton walked into his life three years ago.
Just watching the two of them together, everyone knew she was the one. Amy brought something out in Bobby that Darcy never touched. He was a different man, one with a purpose.
No one was surprised when they announced their engagement after just three months, and married six weeks later. Standing next to the tall Aussie in the small chapel, Jack watched, almost envious, as the two of them exchanged vows. He hoped one day that he'd have a love like theirs. With all the joy they'd shared on that day, no one could have predicted they'd be back today for Amy's funeral.
Waiting for the traffic light, Jack ran his fingers through his dark hair. Just a week ago, Bobby had been planning for his parents first visit to see his newborn twin boys. Instead of completing the paperwork for their latest case, he sat staring at the boys' picture on his screen saver.
The whole team had teased him mercilessly, but Bobby was proud of his family-man status. Now, in practically the blink of an eye, he'd become a single parent.
Live like there's no tomorrow.
The very poignant words echoed through Jack's head as he continued home. There would be no tomorrows for Bobby and Amy. Her life cut short at the hands of a drunk driver. Their plans for the future were gone in an instant.
That could have been me. Jack shuttered as a flood of lost opportunities flashed through his mind. If this were the last day of his life, he'd have so many regrets.
It's not going to happen. Jack slammed his fist against the steering wheel. He might not be able to change the past and right the wrongs, but he had to try.
Turning the car on a dime in the middle of the street, he headed back in the direction he'd come.
