Jordan and Sadie

**Jordan and Sadie** is the romantic pairing between Jordan Williams and Sadie Monroe.
They first met when they were on the Cerulean High camping trip, in which Jordan had just had a fight with Mikel Lucas, to which Sadie helped him clean up in the bathroom.

## Storyline

#### Camping Trip

After being away applying for scholarships and attending interviews, Sadie is back with the seniors for the camping trip. On the coach, though, there seemed to be a big fight which captured everyone's attention. She didn't know anything about this fight, who was in it nor what it was about, but when everyone got off the coach she saw one of the two involved, feeling a need to approach and check in with him. The person introduces himself as Jordan Williams, whom Sadie had heard of before from his vast social media presence. Trying to think of how she can help, Sadie offers to show him where the bathroom is so he can clean himself up.

As they made their way over, Jordan makes conversation regarding the rest of the bus ride. But Sadie's attention was elsewhere, at Dorian with Emily Dalton a distance away. She hadn't seen him since prom, but was sad to see he must have already moved on. Though as a result of her not paying attention, she missed Jordan's warning and tripped on a root peaking out of the ground. But somehow she didn't hit the ground, because she had been caught by Jordan. Flustered, Sadie tries to continue their walk and Jordan followed, bringing up the obvious feelings that Sadie had shown. After an attempt to deny the fact, Sadie eventually gave an honest answer.

Jordan gave her advice on her feelings for Dorian, telling her she should asking him about it which Sadie vaguely considers. Sadie then tries to ask him about the fight they were in the aftermath of. He explains what happened as they are returning to the seniors.

That evening, the seniors reconvened to play Dare or Drink at the campfire. Sadie is approached by Emily Dalton, who she didn't know had been sabotaging her in various ways. Reason being, she was angry about her relationship with Dorian. What surprised her, though, was the mention of Jordan, who had supposedly been fighting her battles for her. What Sadie didn't know was that Jordan had caught Emily trying to sabotage Sadie and yelled at her.

Her dare was to learn a dance with Jordan, which meant they had to leave the campfire too. As they left, Jordan began to ask her how her time with Dorian went.

Confessing she didn't know how to dance, though, Sadie assumed that would be the end to this interaction. But instead, Jordan began to teach her. The moves obviously did not come easily to Sadie, but Jordan told her she was too in her head about it all, and to relax. When Sadie felt she could trust him, they began to dance. Sadie fought through the doubts and concerns, trusting that Jordan wouldn't judge her. When it was over, Jordan suggested going back to the group, which confused Sadie for a moment, forgetting what they had been here for.

#### School Lock-In

When the lock-in began, the seniors were forming a circle to participant in a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven. As her turn approached, she span the bottle to see Jordan. As he got up, he led them to the auditorium instead of the intended storage closet. To her surprise, he asked her to dance. So, once again, the pair danced together. She was slightly more confident this time, and they seemed to be more natural in their movements together. Afterwards, Jordan opened up about how dancing had really gotten him through hardships in life, and then he asked her what it meant to her.

#### Sadie's Birthday

Sadie's 18th birthday had approached, and, to her surprise, Jordan was at her door. Sadie had been posting a few covers on Instagram, and so Jordan had decided to get her a professional microphone. Offering to set it up too, Jordan came inside, telling her about a music video he had just finished. As Jordan suggested Sadie tried out the microphone, a knock came at the door. Assuming it was her sister, Sadie went down to answer it.

The visitor was someone unexpected though, and began to make their way through the house, rummaging through draws and shelves before advancing towards Sadie again. When Jordan saw the scene, he recognised the intruder as someone from his past. He told them he would pay them what Sadie owed if they could leave them alone. When the intruder left, Sadie explained that it was money her brother needed, and she thought she had figured it out. She tried to tell Jordan not to give him the money, as it was Sadie's problem.

But Jordan was already calling his manager about getting cash. He didn't ask any further questions about it and just insisted he deals with it. Jordan revealed to Sadie that it was his father than ran the whole thing, but then Sadie tried to convince him to let her come with him. But Sadie didn't listen to him.

When Sadie followed Jordan, despite his plead not to, she had noticed something when watching the interaction take place. Something that Jordan hadn't notice. A knife that had been pulled out by the dealer. One that Jordan was about to take the hit from. Instinctively, Sadie made her presence known, standing in between them, which happened to be the exact time the dealer was striking. Sadie had been impaled.

Sadie was in the hospital for a while after that. When she eventually woke, Jordan was at her side. He remained there for the majority of the time she was there. Over the time spent in hospital, she grew significantly closer with Jordan. By the time she was discharged, the pair were planning on attending a wedding together as each other's dates.

#### Azure Wedding

Though Sadie was still struggling with some doubt on the situation. Though Sadie had acknowledged her feelings for Jordan, she was concerned about the extent to which it was reciprocated. There was a worry that Jordan had only been doing all of this out of guilt for what happened, and not for any genuine feelings. So, a few days before the wedding she decided to confront the situation and ask him about it, going to his house. Sadie expressed her feelings for him, and made sure to give him the option to back out if he wasn't feeling the same way. But the conversation took a positive turn, confirming to Sadie that the feelings are reciprocated.

### Post Senior Year

#### Reunion (July 2030)

A few years into this relationship, Jordan proposed to Sadie during his Broadway premiere, surprising her with a performance capturing their whole journey. Returning to Cerulean High for their reunion, Sadie and Jordan were happily married with two kids, Kyra and Justin Williams, and the aspirations of adopting a third. Though it seemed it would all unravel at this reunion. When she was looking around the cruise they had been on for the reunion, Sadie unintentionally approached the ballroom that Jordan and Jezebel were in. Sadie caught them kissing.

As Sadie was trying to get away from the scene, she crossed paths with Riker, who could clearly see that something had happened. When telling Riker what she'd seen, he rushed into the ballroom, interrupting whatever was going on, shouting at Jordan. But Jordan wasted no time arguing with Riker about it, and instead went to find Sadie. Sadie had been worried about Jezebel and Jordan in the past, but had felt reassured over the last years that it wasn't anything to worry about. So this happening, was completely reverting her back to the insecure teen she had been when they were starting.

All the apologies Jordan tried to give her were overshadowed by his hesitation in that answer. Sadie eventually decides to continue their relationship. She wasn't ready to let them go, Sadie was willing to take the chance that they could come back from this. They even went on to adopt their third child, Annie Williams, as they had always wanted to do. But this moment truly changed them.

#### Divorce (December 2035)

For a while it was okay, Sadie was occupied with things in her life. She had her kids, she was filming a movie, and recording an album. But it all still lingered in her mind. The thought of their kiss, and the idea he could still be thinking of Jezebel was something Sadie could never shake. She knew it was unfair to hold him to something he couldn't undo, but Sadie knew there was nothing that could fix her while they were still together. It didn't help that paparazzi would hound her with questions on Jordan and whatever costar he had been working with at the time, and whether or not Sadie trusted him around them. Of course, to the public, Sadie gave no indication of doubt.

Sadie knew that it was going on for too long. It wasn't healthy for her to stay in this position, with her continuous overthinking. So, she filed for a divorce.

#### Griffin Gluck (March 2039)

When Sadie put a stop to them pursuing what had been hinted at for a while, Griffin Gluck seemed to know something she didn't. He asked her if it was to do with Jordan, to which Sadie could only answer by stating that it was a long time ago. Not an answer. Though at least when Sadie was asked on interviews about her relationship with Griffin, she could be honest when she said nothing was happening.

#### Work It Reunion (2039)

Four years after the release of the film, a reunion party was hosted with the cast of Work It at Jordan's house. Prior to this, they had been in a zoom call interview with each other, in which the whole cast basically had to put up with questions directed at Jordan and Sadie. Sadie couldn't stop looking and Jordan on the screen, and spoke highly about him when she was asked about him.

Days later, Sadie made the decision to attend the reunion, despite the option of joining via Zoom call. Though she began to feel some regret as she reached Jordan's doorstep, she knocked nevertheless. She had been worried that Jordan would respond angrily to her arrival, in shock that she would dare to step foot in his house after their divorce. But it surprised her to see that he was more than welcoming. They made small talk for a moment, and even hugged. While their conversation felt awkward, that didn't. She didn't want him to let go, but he had to, as they weren't the only people here.

Distraction was easily found with Liza, her co-star and someone she regularly confided in about Jordan. Though he interrupted to offer Sadie a drink from his bar, which she noticed was new. He poured her a glass of wine, which Sadie immediately recognised what it was. Where she was when she last drank it. She could almost see her wedding occurring again. Then she was brought back down to earth, back to this reunion, back to being divorced. He tried to give some form of explanation for keeping it so long, he couldn't find the words, Sadie told him she was glad he kept it.

They were then called into the screening room, the cast acting on the plans to watching the movie again. As Sadie's character appeared on screen, Jordan asked her what it was like to pretend she wasn't good at dancing. Sadie claimed it wasn't far from reality, and that the good parts were mainly down to the power of directing. She then thanked him for the words he dedicated to her in the interview they had attended prior.

To prove Sadie wrong about the 'power of directing', Jordan led her to the front of the room. As the movie played music for the dance scene, Sadie and Jordan began to recreate it. In the moment, Sadie couldn't hide the emotions, and let herself be in the moment with him. But their sequence was filmed by many around her, and quickly spread online. Jordan suggested going live to clear it up, and they went on to say they were just good friends. After, the pair looked at some of the music that Jordan had been working on.
