saw Tyler and the rest of the guys come through the door. I bumped Georgia’s arm and told her to look behind her. She turned around and lost her balance when she saw Tyler.
    “Holy fuck.” Georgia sucked down her shot. The guys came over to our table and hugged all of us. Tyler came over to me last and Georgia looked like a love sick teenager.
    “Hey Georgia. You look beautiful.” He grabbed her hand and kissed the top of it. “ How are you?” Georgia just stood there and said nothing.
    I nudged her arm and whispered ”Georgia snap out of it”.
    “Oh well, ah, um Hi Tyler. How are me, I mean you!” She stammered through that last sentence and I hung my head down and laughed to myself. She came out of her daze and straightened herself up.
    “I’m good.” Tyler replied. Real good now that I see you are here.” He gave her a sexy little grin. And here we go. Drunken booty call time i’m sure. I shook my head and laughed and my sister’s knees were getting weaker after every smile Tyler gave to her. He walked away to join his friends and I thought Georgia was going to pass out.
    “Sister dear why don’t you go back over to the table and have yourself a shot.” I grabbed her by the shoulders and steered her towards the table. She did not say a word. She just followed my instructions while still dazed at the sight of Tyler.
    I looked beyond the crowd and searched for Roy. My old boss and the nicest sweetest mad I had ever met next to my dad. I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him.
    We chatted about how business was and he asked my about my job in Boston .He asked about my mom as well. I went back to my friends after a while. We all sat around laughing and drinking and dancing and talking about old times.There was a great acoustic guitar player there and he really had the crowd pleased. It was such a great night. Roy whispered something to the guitar player and then stood aside. The guitar player spoke into the microphone.
    “Ok everyone. I have a request from the man himself Roy that I get Miss Savannah Garrett up here to sing for us.”
    First thought in my head was no freaking way. I was not going up there to sing. I didn’t do that anymore. Not for a long time. I taught kids how to sing.
    I could feel the heat rise in my cheeks and Lil started to pull me out of my seat. I resisted. Maddy turned to me.
    “C’mon Sav. When’s the last time you did this. It’s just us. It’s been so long since we’ve all heard you. Do it for me please?”
    How could I say no to that curly haired freaky friend of mine. I rolled my eyes and buried my face in my hands. She pulled on my other arm and she and Lil practically threw me up on the stage. I was dizzy from the tequila and felt the familiar sting of humiliation come upon me.
    “Ok, Ok. You people are nuts.” I heard Tyler yell in his semi- drunken state “ No baby we’re just nuts about you.”
    I turned and gave him the finger. He laughed and blew me a kiss. I loved that kid. I bent down and asked the guitar player if he knew ‘ These are the Days from 10,000 Maniacs.’
    He nodded and began a slightly down played tempo of the 10,000 Maniacs song. My friends began to cheer loudly as the recognized the song as our theme song since high school. Every time we heard it, it reminded us of our friendship and how much we all meant to each other. As I the end of the chorus of the song came to play and there was an instrumental break I motioned to the girls to come on the stage to help me finish the song. We all sang into the mic and we twirled around and jumped around like idiots. I grabbed the mic back and the final words of the song were about to be sung when I looked up to an image which I was not prepared for standing beside Tyler’s table. An image of two big brownish green eyes burning a hole right through my soul. I stood frozen and I heard Ella on my left side say “ Well I guess the shit’s going to hit the fan now.” The image before me was him.
