Hello all.
Firstly- I do not own Crossing Jordan, or even my computer.Literally, my computerbelongs to my mum…
Ok so one day I was trying to get into my friend Libby's mind. Try to see things like she saw them; in other words, think up a story she would be happy to read…
Before I knew it I had a story full of heartbreak, crying and maybe a bit of happiness...
Hope you like it, and please, please review and let me know what you all think so then the next chapters can be more to your liking… but there is some stuff I just can't promise.
Enjoy
Luv me
He was leaving.

5 weeks earlier…
She arrived at the morgue, on time for once.
"Hey Jordan." Devan was cute at the best of times, intolerable at the worst.
But Jordan's view of Devan was about to change forever.
"So Devan, what's new?"
"Um, Jordan, can I talk to you about something, it's important." Jordan didn't see herself as a skilled advice giver, or even as a good listener, but Devan looked upset and if she wanted to talk to Jordan, Jordan was happy to listen to her problem.
"Jordan, I'm pregnant."
Jordan so didn't see that coming. Devan always seemed so innocent, so responsible, never one to get herself in a mess. But nothing could have prepared Jordan for what was coming…
"Whoa, Devan… I"
"I know, I never imagined this would happen to me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Well, of course I'm going to keep it, if that's what you mean. But, I really don't know. I mean, I haven't even told the father yet."
"Devan, you should definitely tell him, and soon." And with a small voice she added, "Whose is it? Do I know him?"
Devan said his name and Jordan felt like she had been stabbed with a thousand knives. Him? She felt the tears burning her eyes, but she couldn't let it show. Like a fatally wounded warrior in battle, she had to keep on fighting until she was overcome by the pain. She couldn't let her opponent see that she was hurt.
She used all her courage to say "Tell him", and then she stood up, left the room and ran to her office, closed the door behind her and finally let herself die. She let the tears spill over and burn her face. The pain was worse than anything she'd ever felt before. She really was dying inside.
Bullet hole to the heart.

A few hours later…
She heard a knock at the door.
"I'm working!" She yelled, her face buried in her hands as she sat at her desk. She heard the sound of the door opening before hearing the voice say "Jordan, it's me."
Oh, how she loved that voice. Man, she loved everything about him. Why did she have to realise all this now, when it was too late?
She lifted her face from her hands and gave him a look that could kill.
The way she looked at him, stricken with tears and with her eyes so red, it truly broke his heart to see her like this. All he wanted was for him to be able to close his eyes and to be back in his bed when he reopened them. If he could live the day again, he would come to Jordan before Devan had a chance to find him, and they would run away together. Jordan was always good at running. They could be happy together some place far far away, maybe near the beach, and he could be oblivious to the fact that back in Boston, Devan was pregnant with his child.
Unfortunately, life doesn't just give out 'get out of jail free' cards.
"So, I guess you've already heard…"
"Devan told me this morning."
There, at least now he didn't have to tell her. That would have been hell. Although, he could just imagine Devan telling her, no wonder Jordan looked so beaten. He watched as she stood up, her face starting to fill with concern.
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know, Jordan I'm just so confused."
Jordan could feel the tears coming back again… "I know this is a lot for you, and I understand that you need a friend right now, but you have to understand that I can't be that friend for you, Woody." She was now almost screaming, the tears pouring down her cheeks. Her face was full of hurt, and he could see her pain when he looked into her eyes, and what hurt the most for him was that it was him who gave her those tears to cry.
"I'm sorry, Woody. I just can't." And then she left her office, leaving Woody alone with his tears.
