Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Crossing Jordan nor do I own "Human", by The Pretenders.

A/N: Sorry for the delay. It took me forever to find the right song. It was also a little harder because with all the other songs I was able to listen to them while I wrote, with this song, all I had were the lyrics. I'm hoping to have Woody's POV up by Monday.

Human – Jordan's POV

Jordan stood paralyzed as she watched him walk away from her. She had to call it in, it was for his own protection but his words, like daggers, had shattered her heart. Tears trickled down her cheeks and she didn't even try to stop them. She stood momentarily in the warehouse, as he walked away from her and then she slowly made her way out to the car.

She replayed what had happened over and over in her mind. She could see Woody standing over Riggs with his gun pressed against Riggs' neck. She had watched the vulnerability and fear pass through his eyes as he explained his father had died at the hands of a punk like this. Then she watched the betrayal pass through his eyes as well, when he realized she had called it in. The worst look of all was the look of indifference he gave her as he walked away.

She flipped on her radio to try and remove the incident from her mind. The song Human, by the Pretenders, flowed through the speakers.

I play a good game, but not as good as you

I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel

I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone

But I had you fooled enough

to take me on

If love was a war, it's you who has won While I was confessing it, you held your tongue

She remembered back to the day in the hospital when he told her to get out of his life. The way he stared at her with such rage. The harsh tone of his words as he said, "Screw your pity." Tears flooded her eyes as she turned on the ignition.

Now the damage is done...

She remembered the next day after his surgery, when he threw her out again. She remembered the way he stared at her and the feeling of her heart pounding against her chest.

Well there's blood in these veins

And I cry when in pain

I'm only human on the inside

And if looks can deceive

Make it hard to believe

I'm only human on the inside

She remembered seeing him for the first time after finding the bloody fingerprint on Riggs' neck. The way he looked at her like he had seen her yesterday, "Jordan it's good to see you." He had spoken with such enthusiasm, no regret for avoiding her for two months, for throwing her out after she had told him she loved him.

I thought you'd come through,

I thought you'd come clean

You were the best thing I should never have seen

But you go to extremes, you push me too far

Then you keep going 'til you break my heart

Yeah, you break my heart

She remembered the way he had held her shoulders and looked her in the eyes, begging her not to tell anyone his fingerprint was on the fence's neck. She remembered how his touch had made her heart flutter and gave her hope that they weren't over. She remembered him telling her he needed closure and that he didn't want to push her away anymore. She had felt so hopeful, that everything would be okay.

See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you

I'm only human on the inside

And if looks could deceive,

Make it hard to believe

I'm only human on the inside

Then she remembered the way he lied to her. He said he was going to let the authorities handle it. That he had to get back to his desk job. She felt so lost. She knew what she had to do. She had gone to Sydney to find out where he was going and debated with herself for twenty minutes before she called it in. She had felt horrible after she did so, but she had to protect him. She loved him.

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn

I'm only human on the inside

I stumble and fall, baby, under it all

I'm only human on the inside

Her mind flooded back to after Riggs' was taken away and Woody walked right past her. She tried to talk to him and he didn't want to hear it. She remembered feeling all her hope, that she had for them, crash and burn. He needed help and it was more than she could give him.

And the damage is done...

She remembered watching him walk away and the feeling of tears that filled her eyes. She felt her heart shatter in her chest. He didn't want her, he didn't love her and she knew it now. She should never have let him in.

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn

I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all

I'm only human on the inside

He had done what she had always feared. He had left her like everyone else in her life. Nobody wanted her, nobody would have her. The walls went back up, as she tearfully whispered, "God Dammit Woody Hoyt, I can't stop loving you."
