"The song remembers when

Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten

The song remembers when"

Joey walked into the party.

"The Reverend finally makes it!" One of the people cheered.

"It's about time. I was about to steal your wife." One of the guys joked.

"Nah! You probably couldn't any way. She's devoted to me." Joey said as he walked over and put his arm around Marcie.

"Yeah Chuck I don't think any of us have a chance." Another guy said.

"So did you finish everything you needed to do?" Marcie asked.

"Yeah, so what did I miss?"

"Well they were about to make a toast but I told Madeline to wait."

"Madeline, go ahead." Joey said.

"You know I don't know why they need to make such a big deal out of all this." Marcie said sheepishly as she and Joey sat down.

"Well they're very grateful for all the work you've done."

"We've done." Marcie corrected him.

"Me? All I did was stand my your side when I could."

"And that's a lot." Marcie said meaning it.

"Ok silence everyone. It's about time we got down to the reason everyone is here."

"For you." Joey said.

"Oh shut up." Marcie said playfully.

"To honor all of our numerous volunteers who with out their help our protest wouldn't have been a successful."

"See this isn't about me."

"Just wait."

"But we want to acknowledge one person in particular. She's been with this organization for what seems like forever. She has used her voice to get people's attention and promote awareness. Without her we couldn't be the group that we are. You all know who I'm talking about. So without further ado we'd like to present this plaque to Mrs. Marcie Buchanan."

"What?" Marcie said shocked.

"Go up there!" Joey said pushing her.

"By myself?"

"Of course."

"No, Jo I can't."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"Please." She begged.

"Sure." He said as he followed her up there with her holding his hand tightly.

When Marcie got her plaque she was so nervous she couldn't speak.

"Marcie…" Joey said nudging her.

"Right. Umm…. I really don't know what to say. I wasn't expecting this. I guess I should start thanking people."

Everyone laughed.

"I wouldn't be able to do any of this without my husband and son. They're my strong hold in everything I do. Without them I wouldn't be here. So thank you." Marcie said as her and Joey walked off the stage.

"Did you mean that, all of that?" Joey asked.

"Of course I did, every last word of it."

Riley's cell phone went off. "Guy's let's take a break." Riley cell phone went off again. "Hello?"

"It's me."

"Hey Jen so is something wrong?"

"Well not really…" Jen said nervously.

"Jen what's going on?"

"Well I've found something to keep me occupied."

"Really and what's that?" Riley asked nervously.

"I'd rather not tell you on the phone. Can you come home?"

"Now?"

"Riley please it's important."

"Ok I'll be home as soon as possible. Jen?"

"What?"

"Just promise me that you're ok."

"I'm fine really. I'm great."

"Then I'll be there as soon as possible."

"I'll be waiting."
