AN: I know its been a while but I've had major writer's block and the fact that I forgot about this story only until recently is why it's been so long.

Previously on Joan of Arcadia

….And with that Joan could hear her mother's foot steps fade away. Once she could no longer hear her mother's footsteps – or anyone else's she grabbed the package out of her bag and started to unwrap it. Intrigued to know it's contents.

With the greatest of ease Joan unwrapped the package. She didn't tear the paper away but slowly peel the tape that held it in place away until she was left with the paper. Unfolding it she realised that it was a CD.

Going over to her stereo she placed the CD inside and pressed play.

[Will You? P.O.D

See you sittin' next to

The window in the bedroom

She breaks down (breaks down)

Cryin' over something

And starin' into nothing

Afraid now (hey now)

Wanting, needing, haunting

Its killing me

Thinking what has happened

To live the life like that, man

I break down

It's fake now

When she first heard the music she didn't understand the meaning behind it.

Will you

Will you love me tomorrow?

So will you

Will you stay with me today?

Afraid and out of reasons

To fight the way she's feeling

She breaks down (breaks down)

Goin' through the motions

And holdin' onto hopes

And a dream now (somehow)

Shaken (shaken), mistaken (mistaken), forsaken (forsaken)

Its killing me

Wishing you can change

But he's always been the same

If you leave now

I'll drown

Will you

Will you love me tomorrow?

So will you

Will you stay with me today?

Will you

Will you be here tomorrow?

So will you

You'll remember yesterday.

But as she listened to the lyrics she began to understand what Adam was trying to say.

Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday

This time I'm sorry

This time I'm sorry

This time, this time

I'm sorry for this time

This time, this time

I'm sorry

This time I'm sorry.

(3x)

Will you

Will you love me tomorrow?

So will you

Will you stay with me today?

Will you

Will you be here tomorrow?

So will you

You'll remember yesterday

By the end of the song she was in tears and realised that she felt the same way to. By the time the next song had started she was already down stairs and on her way to Adams.

"Joan, where are you going? Dinner's going to be ready soon?" Joan's mother said as Joan ran out the door.

"Out" was all she said and she was gone.

[Can't Go On – Good Charlotte

It cannot be easy to forget you when I think about you, all the time
I'll never know how I miss you when I never had you, nevermind
I'll move on, but can't go on without you
I said I'll try, don't know why...what to do without you
can't go on, can't go on

She made it to Adam's in record time and bolted around the back of the house to the shed, where Adam worked on his artworks. Wrenching the door open she had startled him while he was working.

It'd be cool if we never met, if we never locked eyes
so fine! its then I'd feel so happy not knowing you're so fine!
I'll move on, but can't go on without you
I said I'll try, don't know why...what to do without you
can't go on, can't go on

"Did you mean it?" She asked staring him down. She knew she was making him nervous.

"Jane, what are you doing here. What are you talking about?" Adam said as he tried to busy himself with his work, avoiding her gaze.

I get so nervous when I'm around you, there's nothing I can say
I wish you'd get out of my head, I think about you every day
I'll move on, but can't go on without you
I said I'll try, don't know why...what to do without you
can't go on, can't go on...without you

She took a step closer, "Did you mean it? The songs on the CD?" she asked again adding emphasis to the question as she tried to search his eyes for the answer she was looking for.

He took a step towards her, "Of course I meant it Jane. I've been in love with you since day one."
And with that he kissed her as they realised that they had both found love.

I'll move on, but can't go on without you
I said I'll try, don't know why...what to do without you
can't go on, can't go on

Okay. I hope y'all enjoyed the ending. I L-O-V-E the Joan/Adam ship! Please read and review and enjoy my other stories.
