They danced a few more times until they were all sufficiently worn out enough to return to their table.

Jordan gathered more drinks for everyone once again and rejoined them.

"So Jordan, now that you've agreed to be my maid of honor and come all the way out to California for our wedding, that we only have you a week's notice for, Aidan and I have one more favor to ask" Jamie said.

Jordan rolled her eyes playfully "Jeez you guys, I haven't seen you in how long and all I hear is Jordan do this, Jordan do that, Youre not going to ask me to carry a baby for you or anything are you?" she smiled.

Jamie put on a fake hurt face, pouted lips and all.

"I'm just kidding, what's up?" Jordan asked.

"Well you know how every little girl dreams of what her wedding day will be like..." Jamie started but Jordan rolled her eyes.

"Oh don't even try to lie, I know even you, Jordan Cavanaugh as little girl dreamt of your wedding day whether you're willing to admit it now or not" Jamie reprimanded. Jordan only smirked in response.

"So, like I was saying, what I really wanted was someone to sing at my wedding and we think you would be perfect for that, it would mean so much to us b/c we know you and love you and you've known Aidan and I from before we were together, you even said we'd get married one day" Jamie smiled.

"I'd be honored" Jordan smiled, touched. And hugged them both. "Do you have a song picked out?" she asked.

Jamie and Aidan looked at each other "No, we actually don't have a song, we thought since you know us so well, maybe you could pick one out" Aidan explained.

"I think I know just the one" Jordan smiled.

"Really?" Jamie asked excitedly.

"Doesn't your dad still have all the band equipment here? I'm sure you could find a microphone and sing it to us now, so they can hear the song you've picked out" Garrett smiled cunningly.

"No, I don't think any of that stuff is still around, we haven't had a band play in a while, with dad not around recently" Jordan said cutting her eyes at Garrett.

"Well it's worth a look, luv" Nigel said gingerly, grabbing Jordan by the arm and pulling her along with him in search of a microphone.

"Nigel, I'm sure there's nothing here, plus I really don't want to do this right now" Jordan insisted.

"Too late luv, Jackpot!" Nigel said loudly enough to alert the rest of the gang that he had found what he was looking for. "Cant back out now" he smiled returning to the rest of the group.

They all moved closer to the stage area as Jordan set up the microphone and guitar for her song.

She watched as Jamie took a seat on Aidan's lap and whispered something to him, smiling happily to which Aidan smiled back and kissed her tenderly in response. She saw Woody watching the happy couple too, longing in his deep blue eyes. She had been feeling the same way since her friends had come to town, like something was missing, well maybe not missing altogether but not all there either.

"Okay guys, here it goes, the song is called need to be next to you, originally sung by Sara Evans but I don't think you'll be able to book her, so how about I just sing it?" They all laughed. She smiled at Jamie and Aidan and began.

Been running from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need you
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I feel inside

But I need to be next to you oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you near with you
Oh, I need to be next to you

Right here with you is where I belong
I'll lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there is nothing in this life
That would make my life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not there
I can't fight what I feel anymore

h But I need to be next to you oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you near with you
Oh, I need to be next to you

Oh I, I need to be next to you
I need to have your heart next to mine
For all time
Love you for all of my life

But I need to be next to you oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you near with you
Oh, I need to be next to you

Jamie wiped a few stray happy tears from her eyes and hugged Jordan "It couldn't be more perfect Jo, thank you" she said hugging her. Jordan looked to Woody who smiled back at her, the first time she had heard the song she had thought about him and it just seemed to fit for Jamie and Aidan too.
