My alternate ending to crossing jordan what do you think?

Final Goodbye








It%26#039;s all in my head, literally





3 A.M. Monday





Restlessly, Jordan woke with the worst headache she had imagined.


It felt as though someone had just hit her in the head with something weighing 100 pounds.


God, what do I do? She thought. I can%26#039;t say anything not one word, besides they would pity me.


They were her morgue family, a group of people who had no one. They had each other.


I especially can%26#039;t tell Garret, he%26#039;s been through enough, she thought.


Desperate to sleep, Jordan swallowed an aspirin and went back to bed.





9 A.M. Monday


%26quot;What%26#039;d do we got anything, Garret?%26quot; Jordan asked impatiently as she fidgeted at her desk.


%26quot;Surprisingly, nothing. New record 24 hours, no bodies.%26quot; said Garret.


Relentless, her hand started shaking on her desk.


Gradually, it was gaining speed and starting to pick up in intensity.


%26quot;Jordan, what%26#039;s going on? You%26#039;re hiding something I can sense it.%26quot; Garret said.


%26quot;Huh? Oh, it%26#039;s really nothing I%26#039;m fidgeting just a bad habit, you know?%26quot; Jordan said.


%26quot;Really? Then stop.%26quot; said Garret. Slowly, Jordan managed to stop the shaking


and answered the ringing cell phone.


%26quot;Cavanaugh.%26quot; she answered punctually trying to sound professional.


%26quot;Jordan, I%26#039;ve got 2 db%26#039;s down here. Apparent suicide both had clinical depression.


Husband and wife married 23 years, husband had affair. I%26#039;m on 12th and main,


see yea when you get here.%26quot; Woody said as he hung up.





Love and Suicide?





9:15 Monday





%26quot;Wow, that%26#039;s love killing each other together.


Literally, %26#039;til death do us part...%26quot; Jordan said sarcastically.


%26quot;Yeah, talked to the neighbors they%26#039;d stay in for days, no outside contact.%26quot;


Woody fired back.


%26quot;Kelly Johnson, the other women%26#039;s being interrogated as we speak.


CSU is testing her for gunshot residue, fingerprints and searching her place.%26quot;


He finished.


%26quot;It%26#039;s a shame, you know being in their 50%26#039;s and depressed.


Wonder what about.%26quot; Jordan said.


All we can do is wait and see she thought.





Monday 10 A.M.


Back at the morgue, Jordan decided to look through the couple%26#039;s


health records. Worried, Garret decided to check on her to see


how she was doing. Jordan showed him the records,


turning the monitor to show him.


Having more bouts of painful headaches,


Jordan rubbed her hand where it hurt hoping for some comfort.


%26quot;Jordan, you ok?.%26quot; he asked. %26quot;Yeah, just an itch.%26quot; she replied.


Quickly, she turned and hid her hand which shook violently.


Relizing, she was going to have a seizure Jordan mentally tried


to prepare herself.


As her eyes began to roll back in her head,


she slowly fell to the floor shaking violently everywhere.


%26quot;Jordan!%26quot; Garret shouted protectively. %26quot;Someone help!%26quot;





Post seizure





Patiently, Garret waited for Jordan to wake up from the seizure.


She opened her eyes, noticing Garret holding up four fingers.


%26quot;How many fingers?%26quot; he asked, his voice strained.


%26quot;Coffee.%26quot; she answered sarcastically.


%26quot;Cat%26#039;s outta the bag, again.


Oh, Garret I%26#039;m sorry I should%26#039;ve told you.%26quot;


she paused sobbing a little as pulled out her CAT scan.


Trying not to seem somewhat angry,


he hugged her for dear life.


%26quot;It%26#039;s back, what do you mean? Not possible,


not to you. You don%26#039;t deserve that!%26quot; he said.





%26quot;Garret, I%26#039;m dying they can%26#039;t do anything.


It%26#039;s around the Cortaid artery. Nothing else to do.%26quot;


Jordan said. %26quot;Come on, you%26#039;re going home.%26quot;


said Garret. %26quot;What so I can die alone?%26quot;


she said. %26quot;I%26#039;m goin%26#039; with you.%26quot; he said.


%26quot;Any last wishes?%26quot; he asked.


%26quot;I think I%26#039;ll write a goodbye letter when we get there.


I don%26#039;t think I%26#039;ve got much time, more violent seizures


increasing in frequency. Losing short term memory,


let%26#039;s go.%26quot; said Jordan.





Waiting for the inevitable





%26quot;Garret, I want you to know...I%26#039;ve always loved you.


More than just a friend always.%26quot; said Jordan.


%26quot;Me too, always.%26quot; he replied.


Just as he and Jordan met for a long, romantic kiss.


%26quot;Jordan, no matter what I love you.%26quot; Garret said.


%26quot;I love you, too.%26quot; she answered back.





Back at the morgue, Nigel and Bug had cracked the case.


It turned out Kelly had wanted the husband all to herself.


This had resulted in not only murdering the wife,


but also the husband. %26quot;Revenge, sometimes deadly.%26quot;


Nigel said. %26quot;Hey have you heard from Dr. Macy?%26quot;


asked Bug. %26quot;Nope, left 2 messages on the tele


no answer.%26quot;





It had dawned on Jordan, these were her last, delicate moments on earth.


It was getting harder to breathe and her heart had slowed.


She told Garret again she loved him and she was sorry for not


telling him sooner. The surgery was hard, dying%26#039;s easy but


I%26#039;m not at all ready to leave yet, she thought.


She ordered Garret to open the letter when she was gone.


It would remind him she wanted to be buried by her mom.


And also what he meant to her.


%26quot;Garret, I%26#039;m scared I don%26#039;t wanna leave you.


I%26#039;m sorry we didn%26#039;t get together sooner.%26quot;


she said. He held her tighter,


holding her like a newborn infant.


She couldn%26#039;t breathe any longer,


she said what she knew were her last words.


%26quot;I love you.%26quot; and she was gone just like that.





Last Words





Back at the morgue, everyone had been wondering what going on.


Garret had gathered everyone in the conference room.


After saying what had happened he opened the letter.


Everyone quieted down to hear him read it.


He had tears as he was unfolding it.





Dear all,


If you are reading this I am finally gone where ever that is.


I%26#039;m sorry I didn%26#039;t tell you, always remember you%26#039;re


wonderful, caring people.


Woody, I%26#039;m sorry we didn%26#039;t work out, I hope you%26#039;ll forgive me.


You always tried to get closer, as I pushed you away.


I%26#039;m sorry I was afraid of love and trust.


If I could start life over, I would have laughed more,


loved more, trusted more.


Bug and Lily I hope you%26#039;ll stay together, I hope


little Madlyn will have a great life.


I regret not having children in my life.


Nigel, hope you find that special someone.


Maybe, someone as weird and strange as you.


Garret, I%26#039;m sorry I didn%26#039;t tell you how


I felt sooner. I hope things with Abby


work out some day.


Thank you for staying until the bitter end.


I know it is near and hope my sake my mom%26#039;s up there.


If I see Devan or Lu I will tell them good things about you all.


Please bury me at St. Ann%26#039;s preferably by my mother.


I love you all,





Jordan








Everyone was at the cemetery, gathered around Jordan%26#039;s grave.


Garret said %26quot;We are here today to remember Jordan Cavanaugh.


We will have a moment silence to honor here starting now.%26quot;


Everyone lit candles and held hands until the moment was over.


Garret handed out flowers of purple and pink, Jordan%26#039;s favorite colors.


Garret was the last to leave,


he whispered %26quot;You%26#039;re my bestest girlfriend.%26quot;

My alternate ending to crossing jordan what do you think?
thats sad.... a little too sad... of course i wanted her an woody to stay together...
Reply:Disagree, like the end as it was. like it that at the end Jordan was finally able to finally tell Woody she loved him, giving us the feeling of hope that they might finally get together. That after all the ups and downs between then, we have known for a long time that they have been in love, and finally the words have been said, they are out there, and even though the show is over, we can dream that they will end up together. Jordam is strong, she is healthy now, she is going to end up with Woody, he is going to get his dream come true.


They are going to be saved. Bug is going to go home to Lilly, he is going to have the family that he has always wanted. Lilly has made her choice, she has picked Bug, they are going to spend their lives togeether with the Baby and maybe have one of their own..


Nigel and kate are going to have something going on, for some reason they have hit it off. It%26#039;s a strange mix, but they make a great team. They laugh a lot and make fun of each other.


Garet is going to stay sober and make it up with his daughter and all the women in his life. He is going to learn to live a bit and stop putting up roadblocks everywhere he goes.


I believe in happy endings. Not always. But need one for this show.
