A/N: Second update of De. 27. I don't know why it took me so damn long to type this one. I blame my family.

-Posted at 5:21 pm

Dislcaimer: I do not own Degassi or its characters.

Oh my God, it's almost here. I can't believe it's almost here. In 72 hours I will be getting married. Oh my God, I'm getting married in three days, THREE days! Hmm, I feel slightly grown up now. Ha ha, I'm grown up.

Tonight is my bachelorette party with the girls. To be honest I'm slightly scared because Alex, Paige, and Sage planned it. Yeah I can't believe it either, Paige and Sage actually worked on something together and they're both still alive. It's quite amazing.

"So what shall I be expecting at this party?" I ask Alex.

"A lot of booze and a lot of fun," she says.

"Booze always equals fun."

Knock, knock.

Alex gets up from the couch to answer the door. Paige walks into the condo with a smile on her face and she's holding two big brown bags.

"Hi hon!" she greets me.

"Hello Paige," I greet her back. I point at the backs. "What's in the bags?" I ask.

"You will find out soon enough." Paige turns her attention to Alex. "Are we ready to go?"

"We're still waiting for Sage," Alex tells her.

"Can't she just meet us there?"

"Yeah, can't she just meet us there?" I ask.

"No, she cannot just meet us there," Alex tells us. "We're going to wait for her."

"Ugh," I groan. "I'm going to be late to my own bachelorette party."

"You don't even know where it is so be quiet," Alex says.

Knock, knock

Alex opens the door and there's Sage.

"Sorry I'm late," Sage apologizes. "These taxi drivers suck here."

I wave her off. "Yeah yeah yeah," I say. "Taxi drivers here aren't as good as the ones in New York. Yeah, whatever. Can we just go now?"

"Umm, in a rush much?"

"There is a lot of booze waiting for me somewhere and I am ready to party."

"Well alrighty then," Alex says. "Let's go!"

Excitement doesn't even describe how I'm feeling right now.

Party!:

Whoa, I did not expect this. I'll admit that I thought we were going to have my bachelorette party at hotel but I thought it was going to be like the Marriot or Holiday Inn not the Royal York.

"Wow!" I exclaim as we pull up to the hotel.

"Yes, be impressed," Alex says.

"You set this up?" I ask Alex.

"Well…"

"Don't even hon," Paige interrupts Alex. Paige looks at me. "I picked the hotel hon."

I place my hand on Paige's shoulder. "You are now my new best friend.'

"Oh that hurts," Alex says.

Paige grins. "Thanks hon!"

"Can we just get out of the car now?" Sage asks.

Well I guess someone doesn't want to be in the car full of love anymore. We all get out of the car as Paige hands the valet guy her keys. We walk through the hotel entrance.

"Wow!" I exclaim in awe.

"You just sounded like Major," Alex tells me.

"That's because this place is ah-mazing! Dude, look at the chandelier!"

I'm pointing up to the giant crystal chandelier that's hanging from the ceiling. I have to admit, if it hadn't been for that fact that we only had three months to plan the wedding I would have suggested this place for the ceremony AND reception.

"Jordan!" Paige calls me name.

I look away from the amazing mesmerizing crystal chandelier and look in the direction where I heard my name being called. Alex, Paige, and Sage are at the elevators and Paige is waving me over.

"I know the chandelier is amazing hon but it's time to get to the party!" Paige says.

I'm practically running to the elevator. I reach the elevator and jump in. Alex presses the number 15 button. I'm so excited.

"You're bouncing up and down like a little kid Jordan," Sage tells me.

"You should have seen her on our way to the Laker's game," Alex says. "She was making the whole care move with her bouncing on our way to the stadium."

"So excited!" I squeal.

Ding!

We're here! I allow the others to leave the elevator before me because I have no idea where we're going. We're walking down the hallway and wow we're walking down pretty far. We reach the end the hallway and we're standing in front of a door that says Prime Minister's Suite. Ok, now I'm REALLY excited.

"We're here!" Paige says.

Paige pulls out the key card and slides in into the door. Paige opens the door and Kesha instantly hits my ear. I walk into the suite. Wow, I must say they REALLY outdid themselves. This suit is HUGE! There's people serving food, booze galore, and like twenty of my closest girl friends in here. All of my friends are here including Amy, Erin, and Bridget from FSU. I see Cindy is already a bit tipsy.

"Jordan!" Cindy cries out. "My favorite cousin! You're getting married in three days!" Cindy is holding up three fingers.

"Ok whatever Cindy has been drinking I was some of that!" I yell.

Someone hands me a glass of something. I swing my head back and drink the drink. Whoa buddy!

"What was that?" I ask.

"That my friend was an Adios Mother Fucker," Erin tells me.

"That was intense."

Erin is nodding her head. "Yeah your cousin Cindy has had two of them."

I see Cindy jumping up and down on the couch singing along to "Your Love Is My Drug". Ok if that's how she is after two drinks then I have a very good feeling about this party.

Hours Later:

Bachelorette party is still going hard and strong. I'm actually a bit drunk right now. Well actually everyone is a bit drunk right now. We just got done singing karaoke and I have to admit that for once Paige sounded very good. Or maybe I just think that because of the alcohol.

I've been noticing something throughout the party. Every time Alex and Sage kiss Paige takes a double shot of tequila. Yeah, not a regular shot but a double shot and she just looks on with sad puppy dog eyes. I just want to pull her into a giant bear hug and tell her that everything is going to be alright.

"Oh my God, Paige do you know any Calvin Klein models," Amy asks.

Paige laughs. "Why hon?" she asks. "Are you looking for a new boyfriend?"

"Not so much a boyfriend but just someone to keep me warm at night."

"Amy, why don't you just settle down already?" I ask.

Amy sticks out her tongue at me. "Not everyone can be like you Jordan and find their true love in high school and then get married right after they graduate from college! You lucky bitch!"

I throw my hands in the air. "Yes, I am quite lucky!"

Knock, knock, knock!

Either someone is knocking at the door or my brain is pounding against my brain.

"Shh!" Paige tries to quiet everyone down. "Girls, I think we're being a bit too loud."

Whoa! Cindy just randomly pushed me into the arm chair. Paige goes to the door and opens it up. Two policemen walk into the room. Wait, wouldn't hotel staff talk to us first before calling the police?

"Hello officers," Paige greets them. "How can we help you?"

"Well ma'am we've been getting some complaints from other hotel guests and the staff aboot the noise level in this room," Officer #1 tells us.

"Is there some type of party going on in here?" Officer #2 asks.

"It's my cousin's bachelorette party!" Cindy yells while pointing at me.

The officers look at each other and now they're looking at me and smiling. I'm not liking those smiles.

"You're the bride-to-be?" Officer #1 asks me.

I nod my head. "Um… yeah," I tell him.

All of the sudden music starts playing. Wait is that I'm Too Sexy? The officers have begun dancing to the music. Oh no! Please tell me this isn't what I think it is?

"Take it off!" Cindy yells.

Oh my God, male strippers. The strippers are pumping the crotch into the air to the beat of the music. They're slowly taking off the uniforms. I can't believe this is happening. "Officer" #1 approaches me.

"Want to do the honors and take my belt off for me?" he asks.

"Not really," I tell him.

"Do it!" Erin yells.

"Do it! Do it!" everyone else starts joining in.

I roll my eyes. I reach out and unbuckle the guy's belt. This is so disturbing on so many levels. The guy takes his pants off and now he's dancing in from of me in nothing but a male pouch thong. I turn my head so I don't have to keep staring at his package. I see Alex on the couch laughing her ass off. The other stripper is entertaining the others. Erin and Amy are going crazy, throwing dollar bills at the dude. They're making it rain. God please let this end soon.

Later:

Whew! I finally got out of there. No, the strippers are still here entertaining the other girls but I was able to sneak off. I leave the suite, needing some fresh air. Hey Paige is out here too. She's sitting on the floor against the wall and she looks a bit sad. I walk up to her and sit down next to her. Paige looks up at me. She quickly wipes away the tears that were falling down her face.

"What are you doing out here hon?" she asks. "Tired of the strippers?"

I laugh. "I don't know whose idea that was but remind me to kick their ass later," I tell her.

Paige laughs. "It was totally Alex's idea."

"Of course it was. So question, why aren't you in there enjoying the strippers? I mean unlike me you actually like penis."

Paige laughs. "I don't like it THAT much. I needed to get some air. I was tired of seeing…everything."

"Tired of seeing Alex and Sage kissing?"

Paige looks at me with a dumb struck expression. "I have no problem with them kissing," she says. "I mean they're a couple. That's what couples do."

"You took a shot every time they would either kiss or snuggle. Quite frankly I'm surprised you're not passed out."

"I just…"

"Six years."

"Six years? What are you talking aboot hon?"

"Well really five years give or take several months." I look at Paige. "That's how long it took Lucas and Peyton to finally realize that they belonged together. That's how long it took Lucas to propose to Peyton and for her to actually say yes. Well he actually proposed to her before but she said no the first time around."

"Wait, are you talking aboot One Tree Hill?"

I nod my head. "Yes, yes I am. Paige I see the way you look at Alex. You look at her the same way I look at Beth. Although you've been with other people your heart has always been yearning for Alex."

"Jordan…"

I place my hand on Paige's shoulder. "All I'm saying is that you shouldn't wait five or six years to finally tell her how you feel. To tell her that you still love her. That's all I'm saying."

Oomph! Paige just pulled me quickly into a hug. I put my arms around her and hug her back.

"Beth is one lucky woman," Paige says.

I laugh. "I'd like to think so." I stand up and help Paige up. "Now let's get so fucked up we're not going to remember ANY of this tomorrow."

Paige laughs. "I'm with you on that one hon."

Arm and arm Paige and I go back to the party.

Next Day:

Ugh, my head hurts. I feel like someone hit me in the head with a giant brink. I slowly get up and look at everyone else. Everyone is passed out. There're girls and clothes all over this room and the two male strippers are still here. I can't remember exactly what happened but I think I might have done a body shot off of one of the male strippers. Thank God we had this three nights before the wedding instead of the night before the wedding. Of course we had to do it this way because tonight is Beth's bachelorette party and Alex, Paige, and Sage are going to be at that one.

I lay my head back down.

Click, click, click.

What's that sound? It sounds like someone is trying to get into the suite. I hear the door open but I don't have the energy to look up. What the-! A bunch of guys in black masks are in here.

"Oh-."

My mouth is quickly covered by one of the guys. I can't see anything! I can't see! Someone threw a bag over my head. I feel myself being lifted off the floor. Oh my God! I'm being kidnapped! Someone help me!

"Jordan," the guy whispers my name. "Stop freaking out!"

Wait that voice feels familiar? Is that Jay? What the fuck is he doing!

"Just calm down," he says.

I hear the door to the suite be slammed shut. Jay is carrying me down the stairs. I feel the summer breeze hit me and I know we're outside now. I feel like Jay is putting me into a car. The car door slams. I can feel the car door moving. Where are they taking me?

Someone takes the bag off my head. I can see! Wait, I'm in a limo. I rub my eyes to get some of the drunk and sleepiness out of them. Yeah I'm in a limo and Jay, Josh, Marco, my friend Kenneth, and Craig are all looking at me smiling at me. Yeah, I'm also thrown off that Craig Manning is here.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"Welcome to your bachelor…ette party!" Jay announces.

"Wait, what?"

"This is your party with the guys," Jay says while patting my back.

"Yeah, you had your bachelorette party with the girls and now you need your bachelor party with the guys," Kenneth tells me.

"You do know I'm not a guy right?" I ask them.

"I've always considered you a guy," Kenneth says.

"Yeah Jordan," Josh says. "You might be a girl but let's face it, you're one of us."

"And you're part of this Marco?" I ask.

"I didn't really have a choice," Marco says.

Jay throws an arm around Marco. "Marco you may be gay but you're still one of the guys!"

Marco rolls his eyes. "Thanks Jay, that means so much coming from you," he says sarcastically.

"Wait, where are we going?" I ask.

Uh-oh Jay is wearing a mischievous smile on his face. I look at the rest of the guys and besides Marco the rest of them are smiling and chuckling.

"One word Jordan," Jay says while holding up one finger.

"Vegas!" Craig yells.

Las Vegas:

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I believe there's a reason for that. As soon as the guys and I landed in Vegas the partying began. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get a new liver just from all the drinking I've done these past two days.

We've hit up all the big casinos, gambling. Jay lost about $1,000. I've won $5, yeah I'm super rich now. Josh accidently hit on a transgendered woman which was actually pretty funny. It's 11pm and right now we're in a limo going somewhere.

"Dude Jay, where are we going?" I ask.

"A place where every groom has to go before they get married," he says.

"I'm the bride!" I yell.

"Yeah ok Jordan, whatever you say."

The limo stops which means we've reached our destination. The guys get out of the limo and I follow them. Josh and Kenneth are high-fiving each other while Jay and Craig just bumped fists. Marco is just laughing. I look at the building in front of us. My mouth literally just fell open. We're standing in front of a strip club. I strip club.

"You brought me to strip club?" I ask drunkenly.

Jay places his hand on my shoulder and holds up a finger. "Not a strip club, but a gentlemen's club," he corrects me.

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes, there is," he says seriously. Well as serious as a drunk man can sound. "A gentlemen's club is classier and the ladies are definitely prettier."

"Does Manny know you brought me to a strip club?" I ask.

"No," he answers. "She knows that I brought you to a gentlemen's club."

"What will Beth say about this?"

"Beth won't have to know because we're in Vegas!"

All the other guys cheer. Jay pushes me forward as the others start going in. I pass by the door man and go into the club. Wow, I was expected neon lights and a disco ball hanging but this place definitely looks better than the Zanzibar back in Toronto. A woman is already in the middle of her "performance" as we enter the club. I follow the guys to the stage.

"Nu-uh," Jay says as he steers me into another direction. "You're getting your own private viewing. Just go over there and tell the bouncer your name."

I look to where Jay is pointing. It's two double doors with stars over them and above there's a sign that says Enter and Your Dreams Will Come True.

"Dude…," I start.

"You'll love it, go on." He gently pushes me.

I walk over to the guard of the double doors. He looks down at me with a clip board in hand.

"Name," he says. Wow his voice is really deep.

"Umm… Jordan Johnson."

He looks back down at his clipboard. He reaches the middle of the paper and checks something off. He pushes open the door for me.

"Room five, on the left," he says.

"Um… thanks."

I go past the double doors and now I'm in some hallway. I go to the door that has the number five on it. I open the door and walk into the room. There's couch and like cat walk and a small stage with a pole in the center of it. Someone remind me to kill Jay later. No seriously remind me because I might not remember anything about this night. I sit down in the middle of the couch. Whoa, music starts playing.

"Jordan, here on your last night as a single…woman," the random voice says. He sounds slightly confused when he said 'woman'. "We introduce to you, Candy!"

Wow, because Candy is the most original stripper name in the world. Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" starts playing. I always knew this was a stripper song. Fog is suddenly in the room as I see a figure walk out on the catwalk. The girl walks onto the stage and she dressed in what looks like a bikini made out of candy wrappers and she has a blow pop in her mouth.

She starts dancing around the pole. I have to admit that she is quite attractive. Her body looks fit, she doesn't have circus boobs and she blonde. To be honest she looks vaguely familiar, or maybe I'm just drunk. Whoa, she just did the splits. She's looking at me sucking on the blow pop. I think if I was a guy this would probably turn me on but the blow pop is throwing it off for me a bit.

Whoa! The dancer just jumped off the stage and now she's approaching me. She pulls my knees apart. The dancer turns her back to me and with the help of her hands on my knees she drops it low right in front of me. God, I know I've seen her somewhere. This isn't even drunk me speaking. I know I've seen this girl before.

"So I heard you're getting married," she says in a sultry voice.

"Um… yeah," I answer nervously.

"To a girl I'm assuming."

I nod my head. "Yeah to my long term girlfriend."

"Well tonight you're single."

The dancer begins to take off her bra. Oh my God! I just became a little bit sober because I know where I know her from!

"Christie?"

The dancer looks up at me surprised. "I'm sorry, I'm Candy," she says. "Is Christie the name of your fiancé?"

I'm shaking my head. "No, Christie is the name of the very first girlfriend I ever had, back in Tampa."

The dancer is looking at me now. She's looking at me hard. "Jordan? Jordan Johnson?"

I'm nodding my head. A smile appears on Christie's face. Oomph, she just jumped into my arms.

"Oh my God, it is you!" she exclaims.

I'm nodding my head. "Yeah it's me. And it's you! Well kind of."

Christie blushes and ties her bra back on. "Umm… yeah, kind of sort of."

I sit down and pat the seat next to me. Christie sits down next to me.

"When did you become Candy?" I ask her.

Christie laughs. "About three years ago."

"Well you did always like dancing back in middle school."

Christie laughs and playfully pushes me.

"You're not going to get in trouble for talking to me are you?" I ask.

She shakes he head. "You already paid so it doesn't matter." Christie looks me up and down. "You look good. Whatever happened to you?"

"Well my stepdad's company transferred him to Canada back in my junior year of high school and I ended up really liking it up there. I ended up going to FSU but I moved back to Toronto after graduation and now I'm getting married."

"Wow," Christie says. "That's amazing."

"Yeah. How did you end up here in Las Vegas?"

"Well after middle school my family moved to San Diego. Let's just say that not everything turned out the way I thought it was going to and when I turned 18 I moved out here to Vegas to become a dancing star. As you can see that didn't quite happen."

"Well if it helps I thought that performance you just did for me was fantastic."

Christie smiles. "Still the charmer I see."

"I'm just nice."

"Yeah you were always nice. That's one of the many great things I remember about you."

"Oh really? What else do you remember?"

Christie puts her elbow up and her hand on my knee. "Well I remember that you're very sweet, smart, quite hilarious and very confident."

"I don't know about the confident part."

"Are you kidding me? Who else would have the nerve to walk up to the girl she likes at the age of 11 and admit to her she likes her."

"That's not being confident, that was me being high off of life that day and I thought I could do anything and be ok."

"Well it did end up being ok. Ya know I never forgot about you."

"I never forgot about you either. You were my first love."

Christie looks at the clock on the wall. "You still have 15 minutes of your session left."

Christie swings her leg over me and now she's straddling me. I don't exactly know how I feel about this. She has her arm around my neck and she's trailing her hand down my body.

"Ya know I was telling the truth earlier when I said that tonight you're single," she says in a very seductive voice.

I'm pretty sure I just gulped loud enough for the whole city of Vegas to hear. "But technically I'm engaged which means I'm not single." I hold up my ring finger to show Christie my engagement ring.

Christie slides my ring off my finger. I can feel her lips grazing mine. My heart is pounding really hard.

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," she says.

A/N: So Paige still loves Alex. Well at least that's what Jordan thinks. Next chapter is the wedding!
