Oh yeah by the way I don't own Crossing Jordan. If I did things would be much much different. Devan would have had her teeth extracted by Jordan and Woody- WITHOUT ANAESTHETIC! hehehelong story... maybe I'll write that fic one day lol. And also, If I owned Crossing Jordan, the freaky guy wouldn't have inturrupted Jordan and Woody's kiss in LA...

...chapter 2...

Jordan woke with the dread of going to work and seeing Woody as she always did. Just the thought of him terrified her. She had to talk to someone…

In the conference room at the ME's office

"So Jordan, to what do I owe the pleasure? I mean, I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon."

"Well Howard, as I said the other day, I'm all for the mental health."

"Jordan, really, when you called you sounded upset. Distraught, even. Want to talk?"

Jordan sat down. "Well, I have a friend – a male friend – and we're really close. I mean, he's always been there."

"So, he's a friend. Are you sure that's all?"

"Well, I did kiss him once, that was a while ago though. He has proposed a relationship a couple of times, but I didn't want to complicate things."

"You use the past tense Jordan, why?"

"I was getting to that. See, well, last night, I'm talking to him, and then all of a sudden, I just realise something."

"What did you realise, Jordan?"

"I think I love him!"

"And that terrifies you?"

"Well… YEAH!!!"

"Now Jordan, how do you know that you love him?"

"Well, I look at him and I can't picture my like without him, he's so important to me. He's always in my thoughts. I love everything about him, the way he smiles the way he talks, even the way he gets mad. It's just… it's so unlike any of my ex-'boyfriends' because this time I actually care about him. But I am just kidding myself."

"Why?"

"Because it can't last. I'd just end up losing him and I can't even bear the thought of that."

"Why do you hide away from the world? To be safe? To protect yourself? All you are really doing is pushing away what could end up being the best thing in your entire life, Jordan."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't decide this for you, Jordan, but all I'm saying us that if you're already in love with this man, there is nothing to lose except the chance to be truly happy. I know you're scared, but you just need to take a risk."

"I'm not really the risk type…"

"Now it seems that you're just making excuses. I think you're just a scaredy cat." Jordan thought about this. Could it be that she was just scared? Suddenly she saw a familiar face peer in thought the window. Oh yeah, she was scared.
