Hey All- I've been trying to update my other stories, but I think I have writers block cuz it's been real difficult lately. This story came to me late last night and flowed so easily and quickly. I don't usually write angst or anything about people dying because I am a fluff person and I love happy endings and stories where no one dies…so this is my first real angsty story. It is inspired by the song Here Comes Goodbye…hence the title. And also by spoilers I've heard about the season finale. I'm praying nothing happens! This will be a three part story I think maybe longer if I get really inspired…

Disclaimer: I do not own CSI: NY. Song belongs to Rascal Flatts.

Here comes goodbye Here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain Here comes me wishing things had never changed That she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye

(Here Comes Goodbye- Rascal Flatts)

She was dying. Lying in the middle of the drenched and chaotic New York City street. He heard nothing around him, not the sirens in the distance or the people moving around him; he heard nothing focused only on the woman in his arms. He saw only her.

Flack held his jacket to the wound in her chest, blood soaking the material and staining his hands. "Oh God… Hang on Jess! You gotta hang on." He pleaded desperately.

She coughed, straining to breath, as liquid filled her lungs. Blood trickled down the side of her chin and he wiped it away with his shirtsleeve. Her eyes fluttered open to look up at him and she gazed at him as if memorizing his face before she spoke between coughs. "Donny…"

"I'm here Jess." Tears clogged his throat. "You're gonna be alright."

"Donny…looks like I'm gonna have to break my promise to you."

He shook his head. "No…Jess don't say that."

"I know I promised to marry you…to have lots of babies…and to grow old with you. I'm sorry Baby." she sobbed. "I will always love you."

Flack watched in terror as her body convulsed in a fit of coughing. He held her as best he could; knowing there was nothing he could do to help. When the fit was over and she could speak again, she looked up at their friends who stood around them, faces filled with grief, tears mixing with the rain as they wept openly for her. "I love…you guys. You're my family." More tears cascaded down her face and she struggled to breath for a moment. "Don't grieve for me for long. I'll be waitin'… in a better place. Remember me with happiness. The happy times… the laughter…and the fun we had. Remember me like… that…not like this."

Reaching a hand towards Danny, he quickly knelt by her side, grasping her hand in both of his. "Take care of Donny for me Danny. You keep him out of trouble... He's going to need you." She told him softly.

Danny nodded swiping at the tears on his face. "I will Jess. I promise." Gently he kissed her hand before standing to take a weeping Lindsay in his arms.

"Stell."

Stella moved quickly to her, Mac moving with her to stand behind her a hand on her shoulder. "I'm here Jess." She brushed a lock of dark hair from Jess's face.

"You're…my closest friend Stella. I love you like a sister…I want you to know that. I know you hate advice so I'm telling you this with all my love for you…don't let love pass you by. Its right there in front of you…don't wait till it's too late."

Tears streamed down Stella's face as she leaned forward to kiss Jess on the forehead. "I won't. I love you Jessie. Say hello to my parents for me will you?" she smiled. "I'll miss you." She whispered.

"Mac." She held her hand out to him and he knelt holding it gently. "You gotta take care of Stella for me ok? She has a tendency to get herself in trouble. Don't you wait too long to see what's right in front of you either." He nodded solemnly.

Another fit of coughing racked her body. "Jess, don't talk. You gotta save your strength." Flack told her.

"I can't Donny. I don't have much time." Jess said. "Danny, Lindsay…I wish I could be here to see your baby come into this world. You guys are going to be great parents. I know it." Turning her head she looked at Sheldon and Adam. "Shelly, you are an amazing man… I'm glad I got to know you and have the privilege of having you as a friend. Adam…don't ever change. You're awesome just the way you are. Don't forget to play your music loud and dance crazy for me…we had some good times didn't we?" She said as his face turned slightly red and he nodded with a small smile.

Jess looked around, scanning all their faces one more time. She sighed, the pain was fading away. Now she only felt numb and cold, the rain slowly seeping its cold into her as her body heat faded. Her gaze met Don's, his blue eyes full of grief and pain, tears running freely down his face. "You can't leave me Jess. I'm not ready to let you go."

She closed her eyes, trying to hold back her own tears and be strong. "I know. But you're gonna go on...and learn to love again. "

He shook his head vehemently. "No. Not without you."

She nodded. "Yes…you will. I…want you…t' live your life…'n be h…appy." Her words started to slur now, as she grew weaker from the blood loss. She raised her hand to gently cup his cheek, stroking her thumb over his skin. "Be…h…appy…my love. I'll be waitin'…for you. I love you."

He pressed her hand to his face, watching as she took two more breaths, her chest heaving before falling still. The silence was deafening, her hand slipping from his to fall limply to the ground, eyes closing for the last time. Pulling her body into his arms he buried his face in her hair letting his sobs erupt. "Jess, no! Oh God please no!" The grief flooded through him and he vocalized it, a shout of anguish ripping from his throat that echoed through the street. "No!"

The group of friends felt the hair stand up on the backs of their necks at the sound coming from the broken man in front of them. Huddled together around him, they grieved with their friend as he mourned the love of his life.
