Title Six Months
Author Blaney
Disclaimer I don't own Crossing Jordan etc, etc, and I have no money, and all I own is this computer and I would be forced to fight ya for it.
Timeline This takes place after "Fire from the Sky" and I have made references to "Necessary Risks" "A Stranger Among Us" "A Murder in the Rue Morgue" "Family Affair" but any other episode is fair game.
Summery I was listening to the country song Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw, and wondered what it would be like if I did another version of this story about Luke Skywalker. But this version seems to flow better, maybe because I can relate to Woody more then a Jedi Master. Anyway, Woody finds out some troubling news and his 'family' learns just how much they need each other. I have found that in order to make really good story you have to put something of yourself in to it. So Woody may not be exactly like he is in the show because I put a little of myself in his character. This is the first Crossing Jordan story I have, but there are a couple of other stories in the works. I have to give credit to the song writer, the show and the stories, as well as the many other stories that have influenced me so. I have to give credit to NCCJFAN, Sweet-rush37, and jmkw just to name a few. Anyway, on to the story. Please feel free to send me back reviews. So until next type…enjoy this story and when your done, take a second or five to review, I am open to suggestions and whether you liked it or not.

I walked in to the morgue a daze. It's busy. Every ones running around and I think there was a multi-car pile-up on the interstate. I walked to Jordan's office on autopilot…I don't know why. She's not even talking to me. They all believed that I some how betrayed Jordan by dating Devan. Never mind that all Jordan ever did was hold me at an arm's length, and call me when she needed something, or felt lonely. Nobody every asked me if Devan and I were even dating, even though we weren't. God, that's the ironic part; I spent most of my time thinking and talking about Jordan when I did hang out with Devan. I know she knew that there would never be an 'us' but we did hang out and talk. It was nice to spend time with someone who wasn't obsessed with something. I tried to spend time with Nigel and Bug, but they were never comfortable. And I didn't think twice about Lily, I had heard the rumors about her and Garrett, not to mention the blatantly clear affection that Bug has for her. I'm sure I have… had the same look in my eyes for Jordan but I don't know anymore. And to top it all off, they would think that I was somehow betraying Jordan which they did with Devan. Devan knew I loved Jordan… no…that I still love her. I sometimes wish I didn't… it would be so much easier. I could move on, but no, I'm still orbiting around her.
Anyway I'm getting off topic. When I realized that I was standing in the doorway of Jordan's office, I was afraid I would hear her voice asking what I was doing there. But when I looked up, the office was empty. Oh yea… that's right… the big wreck, she's most likely is down there. I turned and headed down to Dr. Macy's office. I still think of him as a father type even though he has been the worst about giving me the cold shoulder. Not that I don't understand…Jordan has been closer to him then any of them. I can see him in his office. He's talking on the phone. I knock on the door and realize he's busy. You would think he could tell when someone is in shock, but when I tried to ask if he had a moment I really wanted to tell him…I needed to tell someone. He just looked me in the eyes and said he was busy, so I let him pass. When I looked up, I saw that Lily was looking at me. I gave her a sad smile and turned walking back to the elevator, the one place that had felt like home for the past few years no longer feels that way.
