Author's Note: I wrote the second chapter before i submitted the first and i couldn't wait to post it, so here it is. REVIEW! PLEASE!
"Hey Lilly, are the Marino's here yet for the identification?" Jordan says as she pops her head into Lilly's office. She notices Lilly's hair is slightly messed up and her eyes are red and filled with tears.
"Lilly, what's wrong?" Jordan asks as she rushes over to Lilly's desk.
"He doesn't love me anymore." she said barely audible through her crying.
"What?" Jordan muses.
"He said that it was infatuation"
Jordan gave Lilly a quizzical look.
"Bug says that he sees know that he always wanted me just because he never could have me. Now that we are together, he's not as happy as he thought he should be. Can you believe that! I leave Jeffrey at the alter for him, and now he says he doesn't love me!"
All Jordan could do was hug Lilly and tell everything was going to be okay. She wasn't sure what to tell her friend, but she understood the problem from both sides. She had felt the loss of someone she finally had realized she had feeling for, but on the flip side she's lead someone to eventually break their heart.
"Lilly, it's going to be okay. You'll find someone else, who will truly want to be with you. I know it's cliché, but its so true."
"I don't want anyone else. I went through so many horrible guys, and I though I had finally found one that was descent, loving, and really cared for me."
" I know Lilly. I'm so sorry. Tonight, why you come over and we have a girls night in and forget about all your problems."
"Actually, that sounds pretty great."
"So Bug, what's new?" Jordan asked . She was trying to get an explanation out of him.
"Nothing really." He said without feeling.
They were performing an autopsy on the beautiful and young Sophia Marino. Her story made Jordan want to cry every time she thought about it. The sad thing was that Sophia was lost long before she was dead. She had heard the full story from the family, about how Sophia was a straight A student throughout her school career, that was till her junior her. She had started going out with a boy who cared more about his drugs then school. According to Mrs. Marino, Sophia had liked for three years before they started going out. Sophia was apparently elated once she started going out the boy. Slowly, Mrs. Marino started noticing a change in her daughter. She was hardly ever home and they argued more than ever. The Marino's decided that the boy must be the root of the problem so they refused to let her see him anymore during her senior year of high school. Unfortunately, Sophia was then eighteen, so one day she just left and did not return home. The Marino's were very worried about her and recruited Sophia's friends to help get their daughter back. They searched for her for days. Finally they found her and her boyfriend living in a little shack, with nothing in their possession expect a bags of marijuana, cocaine, and ecstasy. Her parents were horrified and they tried to drag her out there, but she refused. She threatened to kill herself if they took her. Finally they gave up and left her there to face her demise. They had so much guilt now. Apparently, Sophia's boyfriend had made a bad deal with a very powerful dealer, and he wanted revenge. The boyfriend didn't have anything to offer the dealer, so he took the only thing Sophia and her boyfriend had, their lives. Now Sophia Marino and Rob McNamara were now laying on cold slabs in the morgue.
"How do people get to this point?" Jordan asked herself. She never understood how people some people don't take life seriously. They wasted away their chance at true love, for what, drugs. They probably really did love each other, but they had never had chance to explore. Her thoughts now drifted back to Bug. Why would he give up so easily on his love Lilly, especially now that he had her. She had watched him mope over Lilly for years, she could comprehend why he broke it off.
"Bug, I'm going to be blunt, why the hell did you break up with Lilly?"
"Jordan, I don't want to talk about it," he said as he was examining Rob's liver, which was severely damaged.
"Bug, you really hurt Lilly. She really cares about you."
"You see that's it!"
"What's it?"
" 'She care's for me', you didn't say that she loved me, you said she cares for me. That's how I feel. I know she cares for me and she wants be to happy, she may even love me, but she's not IN LOVE with me. Not like the way I am with her."
"But Bug how are you ever going to be happy without her. I mean you are in love her."
"Yeah, but I love her enough to not mess up her chances at happiness. She needs to find someone that she's in love with and that's in love with her. It can't work if it's one sided."
Jordan was about to add more of her opinion on the matter, when Garrett rushed into autopsy out of breath.
"Jordan, Bug. I need your help. Woody, Nigel, and Sealy were taken hostage."
