Making Up is Hard to do
Chapter 1 - Complicated
Jordan returned to her office, her heart felt as though it would explode. She shut the door and sat down. Her eyes burned as she thought to herself. She had let herself be vulnerable and ended up losing Garret and Woody in the same day. She just didn't understand why every time she allowed herself to get hurt she was hurt. She thought about when she ran last time and that was beginning to feel right. How could Garret hide the evidence and worse when his name was clear how could he come forward. She thought of how easily moving away would be. She had no reason to stay, it was obvious Woody wanted nothing to do with her and her father wasn't there anymore. How can men so easily betray her? She felt as though her whole body would just implode when there was a knock at the door.
Jordan – Come in.
Lily entered, it was obvious she'd been crying.
Lily – Jordan we can't let this happen, we need Garret, all of us, we're family.
Jordan – I know Lily but we can't do anything, Garret hid the evidence and then he turned it in. Fact is, he's in a lot of trouble and his career is the least of his worries.
As Jordan looked up she realized just how vulnerable Lily was.
Lily – Jordan it doesn't matter he would do this for us.
Jordan – Well what's your plan of action?
Lily – I don't have one, I was hoping you did.
Jordan – Sorry Lily but I'm fresh out of crazy schemes.
Lily – How's Woody?
Jordan – He's dealing with everything, he just needs space.
Lily – Space?
Jordan – It's complicated.
Lily – Jordan he needs support, he just hasn't realized yet.
Jordan – Trust me, he doesn't want any support from me.
Lily – Did you guys have a fight?
Jordan – How's Seely?
Lily – Jordan, don't change the subject, you can talk to me. Don't put up a wall Jordan, I'm your friend.
Jordan – Lily I'm fine, I was just wondering how Seely was.
Lily – Jordan Garret just got fired, Woody just got shot and both of these things have an affect on you, you can talk to me.
Jordan – I have to go.
Lily – Jordan don't run away from your problems they'll only multiply.
Jordan got up from her desk and walked into trace where Bug and Nigel were quietly discussing their new boss.
Nigel – Hello love, how are you holding up?
Jordan – Why does everyone think there is something wrong with me, first Lily now you.
Nigel – Well Jordan its been a hard day for all of us, I as just wondering how you were taking it.
Jordan – I'm fine can you cover the rest of my shift?
Nigel – Sure love, if Woodrow needs you I understand.
Jordan pretended not to notice Nigel's assumption and quickly walked to the elevator.
