Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Crossing Jordan nor do I own Sitting, Wishing, Waiting by Jack Johnson.

A/N: I couldn't resist using this song because I think it sums up how Woody feels prior to JPF.

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting

He left her office in anger, she didn't want his ring and she didn't want him. He felt a burning sensation behind his eyelids. He loved her and she wouldn't let him in. She would dangle the bait but when he tried to bite she'd reel in the line. She wouldn't have him, it was time for him to move on past the games, past their dance, to someone who wanted him and would let him love them. As he reached his car he put on the radio and Jack Johnson filtered through the speakers.

Now I was sitting waiting wishing

That you believed in superstitions

Then maybe you'd see the signs

But Lord knows that this world is cruel

And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool

Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

His mind flooded with memories of them. He pictured her smiling face and her laughter. He pictured their kiss in the desert. Tears followed these thoughts and he found himself sobbing.

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?

Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

He continued to let his tears escape. "Why won't she just love me?" He is giving up. He can't wait on her anymore. He is tired of being her fool.

I sing ya songs I dance a dance

I gave ya friends all a chance

Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

And maybe you been through this before

But its my first time

So please ignore

The next few lines cause they're directed at you

He remembered what he had just told her, he was ending their dance. He had, had enough of the dance that they played one step forward and two steps back. He wasn't playing anymore, it was over. More tears flooded down his cheeks but he bitterly wiped them away.

I cant always be waiting, waiting on you

I cant always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part

But its not my scene

Wont this plot not twist?

I've had enough mystery.

Keep building me up, then shooting me down

Well I'm already down

Just wait a minute

Just sitting waiting

Just wait a minute

Just sitting waiting

He tried several times to change the outcome but she wouldn't budge. She would build him up and shoot him down, but no more, it was over. He was down and he was done and that was all there was to it. Enough was enough.

Well if I was in your position

I'd put down all my ammunition

I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long

But Lord knows that I'm not you

And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel

Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

She wouldn't change. She was who she will always be, he knew this was for the best. "I wouldn't do this to you Jordan," he cried angrily, "I won't do it anymore, I am tired of being rejected. I am tired of waiting. This is the end."

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?

Must I always be playing, playing your fool?

No I can't always be waiting, waiting on you

I can't always be playing playing your fool, foool

"Goodbye Jordan Cavanaugh," and with that he sped off into the night.

A/N: Please let me know if I should keep going or just leave it at this. I considered doing Jordan's POV listening to this song but I don't know if I should.
