Jodi Chapter 8: Nothing's gonna stop us now, a crossing jordan fanfic

CHAPTER 8:

A/N: Thanks for the reviews very much! I'm glad you are enjoying it. Sorry for the unbelievably long wait. I've been having major writers block… and I just keeping deleting everything I write because I am never pleased with it, but anyways, here's something, I hope it's satisfactory. Oh, and once again, do not own the characters or the song which is Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by the Starting Line.

---------

Looking in your eyes, I see a paradise.
This world that I found is too good to be true.
Standing here beside you, I want so much to give you this love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Jordan could see Woody, Garrett and Nigel laughing their heads off back at their table, Sierra, Lara and Jessica were giggling and eyeing Matt, Lily was splitting herself between shooting jealous glares at her three friends since Lily had come with Matt and all, and the other half of her was admiring Matt and his singing, or lack thereof, abilities.

Let them say we're crazy.
I don't care about that.
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Maybe we can make it if we're heart to heart.

Matt, who had been glancing all around the room during the first section of his song, let his gaze meet Lily's and held it there, singing to her as Woody had sang to Jordan. For a moment, Jordan was so caught up in the moment between Lily and Matt, that she forgot all of her anger of being forced to sing, and forgot to feel sorry for herself for having to spend the week with her three friends until she heard their giggling start up again as a group of rather good looking men walked past, obviously checking them out. Jordan shook her head, some things never do change.

And we can build this thing together, stand in stone forever, nothing's gonna stop us now.
And if this world runs out of lovers we'll still have each other.
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now.

As happy as Jordan was for Lily and Matt and their new love for each other that they'd recently come to terms with, she still felt bad for Bug who was silently sitting at the table with a sad, distant look on his face while Nigel, Garrett and Woody continued to laugh at Matt's singing talent, which, with the exception of Woody, they really shouldn't have been laughing at since they weren't up there doing karaoke… yet…

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you, whatever it takes to stay here with you.
Take it too the good times, see it through the bad times.
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do.
Let them say we're crazy.
What do they know?
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart.

Jordan walked back across the bar and back to the table where the boys were sitting. "Jordan! You can't back out!" Nigel protested, obviously thinking she was going to go sit back down and not do karaoke.

"Don't worry Nigel, I'm not backing out." She smirked. "But I am bringing someone with me." She laughed at the look of fright on Nigel's face, since he obviously thought she meant him. "Come on Bug, you look like you need some cheering up and letting loose… karaoke could be just the thing you need."

"No way." Bug shook his head, taking another sip of his beer.

"Come on Buggles, don't be such a downer." Nigel joked, elbowing Bug in the ribs.

"Oh and I see you lining right up to sing?" Bug shot back at Nigel who shut up, really not wanting to go sing himself.

"Yeah, why aren't you singing Nigel?" Woody smirked. "I sang, Matt's singing, Bug will sing too, because you know how things are when Jordan sets her mind on them… Lily's going to sing, Sierra's going to sing, Lara and Jessica sang…"

"I know, I get it, everyone's going to sing but me… and Garrett." Nigel shook his head, knowing that he'd end up singing.

"Yeah, get your ass up there Nigel. You too Bug." She pulled Bug out of his seat and made a hand gesture for Nigel to get up.

"Fine." He sighed, standing up and stalking off, trying to act angry.

Woody, could I talk to you for a second?" Jordan smiled sweetly before dragging Woody out of their friends' earshot.

"What?" He asked, "You're plan seems to be working fairly well." He smiled.

"Yeah, thanks for that." Jordan nodded, giving him a kiss on the cheek to thank him, and also because she wanted to. Woody's cheeks turned pink and he didn't know what to say. "Okay, and since I am as evil as you know I am… I did something else… sort of a step up from my last little plan."

"Jordan, what did you do?" Woody asked, hoping it was nothing too bad.

"Well, Renee Walcott's coming down here…and I was hoping she could walk in right about when Garrett was doing some karaoke…" Jordan smiled wickedly.

"You didn't!" Woody laughed, and Jordan nodded.

"How are you going to pull this one off?" He wondered. 'Good Question.' She thought in her head and started coming up with possible solutions.

Oh, all that I need is you.
All that I ever need.
All that I want to do is hold you forever, forever and ever.

And we can build this thing together, stand in stone forever, nothing's gonna stop us now.

"Well, we've managed to somehow get everyone else to agree to sing karaoke… we should be able to get Garrett to." Jordan shrugged.

"Okay, and even if we do, how are you going to manage the timing?" Woody pointed out.

"Uh, you could go outside and somehow prevent her from getting in the bar until Garrett sings…" Jordan suggested hopefully.

"That's a long shot." Woody chuckled, "I mean, first of all, how in the world am I supposed to distract her, and second of all, when will I even know when it's Garrett's time to sing?"

"Well, we'll figure something out." Jordan returned to her thoughts as Matt's song was finishing. Lily and Matt were still in lost in their intense, emotion filled blinking contest. Neither had shifted their glance or blinked since Matt had first looked at Lily since the beginning of his song. They were so in love with each other, they didn't know how they'd ignored it until now… but they were glad they were no longer ignoring it.

And if this world runs out of lovers we'll still have each other.
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now.

Polite applause filled the karaoke bar as Matt's song finished. He didn't draw nearly as much attention as Lara and Jessica had, it was back to normal karaoke bar status. "Nice." Lily smirked as Matt stepped down from the stage, "So nothing's going to stop us now, huh?" She laughed.

"Nothing except you have to sing karaoke now." He winked at her, and gave her a light, quick peck on the lips before turning and heading back towards the table leaving Lily to tell the guy behind the mic what song she was singing and proceed with normal karaoke events…

A/N: Oh gosh, I'm pretty sure that was horrible, but it was something… and I needed to get something up! Any suggestions? I could really use some right now! Thanks!
