I do not own My So Called Life, the characters, or any song lyrics contained in this work of fiction. Danielle and Brian's kids are of my imagination. I based Rayanne's husband on AJ Langer's real life husband because I always pictured Rayanne dying from her addictions but I though well, what if she got herself together, found a fabulous husband, and was a Lady. No one who knew Rayanne would ever suspect her to be married to a Lord. I created Rickey's partner, David for the storyline. I do not own the Thirty Seconds to Mars lyrics that I quoted; I used them for the story line.
Scene: Angela and Jordan are kissing, outside the reunion in the parking lot.
Angela: (Voice-Over) did you ever feel like you are dreaming while awake? I heard the words that came from Jordan's lips but it seemed like it was a movie, not real. Could Jordan Catalano, rock star, want to be with me, Angela Chase, lowly social worker? How would that work out? I am so confused. What do I say? I still want him, I never stopped but this seems so sudden… I need to do something, say some I mean I can't keep on kissing him forever and I am going to have to answer him at some point. What do I say? Should I tell him that I want him to move to New York and be with me? Is he going to live with me? I don't live in a place that a star of his status could live, do I? Will he blend in? Is his hand on my butt?
Jordan: (Voice-Over) I so missed her.
Angela breaks the kiss and has Jordan's face in her hands, Inches away from her face.
Angela: Jordan, how is this going to work?
Jordan draws her face close to his and kisses her.
Jordan: I really want us to.
Angela: I know but I live in a small apartment in New York, you are famous, I am not. I work with kids that have run away, are orphans, live in the foster system and I find it rewarding every time I help a kid get out of a bad situation. I am not sure that I am ready to stop doing my work. Every kid I help reminds me that one of my best friends in the world lived this life and because someone cared he is now a success. You didn't have a great childhood and you made a success of yourself as well, and I am in awe with that. I respect that about you.
Jordan: I don't want you to give up your career while we figure this out Angela; I just want to spend time with you. I will get a suite in a hotel nearby so we have our own places and we can decide from there. I just want to know if you want me to come to the city and be near you. I can work anywhere, all I need is my guitar and some paper and a pen, an internet connection and my laptop so I can run my what I wrote with the rest of the guys in the band. We actually like to be apart from one another when we write, space from each other helps. When it comes time to record another album, well I will play it by ear.
Angela: So you want to try being a couple?
Jordan: Angela, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I see other women but they are not you, and in my head I compare them all to you and not one can measure up. I love you. I never said it and I should have. I got where I am to prove that I am worthy of you. I am not smart like Brain, so I had to show you that I could become something.
Angela: I never needed you to prove anything to me.
Jordan: I needed to prove it to myself. I wanted to be a man you could be proud of. I didn't want to ever let you down again.
Angela: All I ever wanted to hear was those three words Jordan and see that you were going to act them not just say them.
Jordan: Does this mean that you are going to give me the chance?
Angela: Yes.
Jordan: you do know this means you may end up in the limelight, right?
Angela: I realized that while we were kissing.
Jordan: Thinking too much again?
Angela: (with a smile) Of course.
Jordan: I feel like time stopped and we have not been apart all these years. You are more beautiful now then you were back then though.
Angela looks down, does the hair behind the ear thing again. She then looks up into his eyes.
Angela: Jordan, I-
Jordan kisses her on the lips, and stops her from finishing her sentence. He takes her hand and begins to walk back toward the reunion.
Jordan: I want to dance with my girl, since I never did at the prom. I need to make it up to her.
Angela: We don't have to dance.
Jordan: I want to hold you in my arms and slow dance, I want to not hide that I am with you. I am not going to act like the scared High School boy. I am not a boy, I am a man. Your man.
Hand in hand they walk back into the reunion to join their friends. We see Sharon looking a bit bored as she puts up with Kyle's friends and their wives, Rayanne is dancing with her husband and having a great time, Rickey and his partner are visiting with some of the other drama club members and Brian and Danielle are dancing, Brian is holding her close and tight. And Danielle looks thrilled. Danielle notices Angela walk back in hand in hand with Jordan and a huge smile comes across her face. While she knows Angela is not going to try to steal Brian, she just feels insecure because of the history of Brian being in love with her sister.
Jordan leads Angela to the dance floor and he begins to slow dance with her.
Scene fades out.
