Hey
Isa, surprise!!!
I
decided, not too long ago to do this for you, this is to show you how much I
appreciate you being there for me and being my friend. I decided to write a
Pacey and Joey fic, just for you, it only makes sense since you have been with
me through my last 4 Takaris!!
Well,
this is a completely Lori-original, meaning, brace yourself because this could
get a little weird.
A
little note, this fic is set in season 1 before anything happened, even before
Jen arrived. Why? Because Joey and Pacey were meant o be together since the
beginning!! Though I did include Andie in it just for the fact that I wanted to
make fun of her a little.
I
hope you like it, I really did try J

"The
heart can be deceiving"~ by T.K.'s Angel
-"
And you see, Shakespeare's message to the audience in this play was…?" Mr.
Alonzie looked around searching for someone to answer the question. Much to his
annoyence only Andie was lifting her hand. "Anyone, anyone at all?" He said
again ignoring Andie's pleading hands. Literature class could really be a
horror to teach, especially if a McPhee was one of your students. "Okay then,
Mr. Witter, why don't you just answer the question?"
"Huh,
what?" Pacey was broken out of his trance as he heard the teacher's question. "What,
no, I wasn't listening, sorry.." Mr. Alonzie just shook his head. "Typical Mr.
Witter, you wouldn't know Shakespeare if it bit you in the head" "Yup, that's
me Pacey J. Witter, the illiterate" Pacey mocked him and the teacher just
sighed in frustration, he turned to Joey "Miss Potter enlighten us with your
answer" Pacey just looked at her with sheer mockery, she just stuck her tongue
out. "I think what Shakespeare was trying to say is that the heart can be
deceiving, that something can be right in front of you, yet you still can't
notice it. He meant that you don't always fall in love with the right people."
Pacey
just stood up and applauded "Bravo Miss Josephine, I must say you are bright" "Sit
down Mr. Witter, maybe you should take an example for Miss Potter and actually
read the play" Joey kept on going "Well Pacey" she said glaring at him "you
know there is a vast world of literature out there than those pages of playboy"
"Touché Jo, see, if I weren't a gentleman I would probably come back with
something even more spicey" Joey just glared at him, at the same time the bell
rang (yup, like they always do, 15 minutes after the scene starts) As both
teenagers got up to move they were stoped by the teacher.
"I
was really impressed Miss Potter, a fine summary indeed of the play, hearts can
be deceiving" "Thank you" The teacher kept on talking "See, you are still
missing 4 credits to pass the course, and I was wondering if you were
interested in getting those" Joey's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Wait a
second, what in the world does this have to do with me?" Pacey asked. "This is
were you come in, Miss Potter I was wondering if you could tutor young Pacey" "I'd
be better off tutoring Monkeys" Pacey laughed "Yes you would probably get along
better with those of your own kind". "Let me put this is in simpler terms,
unless Pacey passes with a B+ at least, I will be seeing both of you next
semester" Without saying another word he stood up and left leaving a wide eyed
Joey and a extremely shocked Pacey.
"What
the hell just happened here?" Joey said almost screaming "All I know is you and
me are repeating this next semester, so long Jo, have a nice life" As he got up
form his desk to leave he was quickly pulled down by his collar. "Hold it
buddy, you and me are hitting those books now!" "No way in the world am I….."
he was cutt off by her "NOW!!!"
About
40 minutes later they were in the Potter living room "studying" or at least
that was what Joey was trying to do with Pacey , his mind just kept wandering
at the mere sight of a fly that passed
by. It was almost amazing how he could get distracted be the smallest little
thing. "Pacey are you listening to me, Pacey!!!!" Pacey awoke from his slumber "
What now??" " I am trying to teach you Romeo and Juliet here" Pacey stared at
her face " What Pacey?" Joey was now annoyed, extremely annoyed, yet again he
had managed to get distracted by the slightest thing. " You know, you don't
look half bad with your hair hung up like that" Joey just blushed a light red,
indeed she did look beautiful, a few strands of hair hung loosely from the bun
on top of her head, a smile curved on her lips, one of sheer sarcasm. "Flattery
will get you nowhere Pacey, especially with me, now concentrate on this" Pacey
just shrugged "Gee, try to give a girl a complement and she throws it in you
face, a guy just can't get a brake here" "Shut up Pacey" She concluded as a
final statement, after that it was just pure study session.
Needless
to say it was a very long night, especially for Joey, Pacey at times did seem
to capture sudden interest, which would just be blown away by some other
amusement. They were interrupted once or twice by Alexander's crying or by
Dawson calling on the phone. Pacey quite couldn't understand it, he felt a bit
of anger and slight resentment on Dawson. The way Joey giggled on the phone
while talking to him was just plain disgusting. He decided to end it off,
besides it was already late. " Hey listen, lets just call it a night ok, its
really late" Joey was a bit disappointed at this "Oh, just remember to do the
assignment on page 424" Pacey waved off
to her as he left the room and the house.
On
his way back home he couldn't help but think of what had happened, he really
did mean what he had said to her. She did look good with her hair falling in her face like that. Wait that was an
understatement "She looked gorgeous" Pacey muttered to himself as he rode on
his bike through the familiar streets of Capeside. All his thoughts were now
focused on her, he had an urge to do whatever he wished from him, to make her
proud of him. He knew just the way too, he would try his best to pass next
week's quiz, it wasn't because of him anymore, he would do this for her. Pacey
kept on riding with a new look od determination back to his home.
Meanwhile
Joey was thinking too, tonight had been really weird for the both of them.
Pacey now seemed more hunky in a way, maybe it was the way he had looked at
her, or maybe it had just been those words he had said {You don't look half
bad} he had said to her. It was funny, the words probably meant absolutely
nothing but the thought of him saying
it was what brought that small smile of satisfaction on her face. She slapped
herself mentally for that, wasn't she supposively in love with Dawson, her best
friend, the guy who lived dwn't he creek. But suddenly somehow, his features
didn't seem to compete with Pacey's dazzling eyes, she seemed like she would fall
in them for ever. Joey just shrugged to herself, maybe the lack of sleep was
making her think crazy.
The
week had passed on relatively normal after that. Except for what Joey noticed,
Pacey had actually done all the assignments and asked questions. He seemed to
be impressed by Shakespeare, like he said "He can be a really cool guy". Joey
laughed to herself but not for long, lately she had been depressed, her mind
was twisting with her heart. She was utterly confused, Dawson was a key player
in her life, but Pacey was getting in it like tsunami (like a storm, like from
that episode remember?). As she sat with him in the library at recess she
couldn't help but smile to herself as she saw him intently read the last few
verses of Romeo and Juliet. She thrown out of her thoughts by his voice "Jo,
hello?" He waved his hand to get her attention. "Now who is the one getting
distracted?" He made fun of her. She just laughed at his goofy face, it was
actually nice being with him. "So, you wanted to get distracted huh?" Joey was
now intrigued, "What are you up to Pacey?" He stood up with a grin on his face "Oh
nothing" he lied "Liar I can read right through your face"
"Well"
he said slightly leaning over "maybe I was planning on doing this:" He said as
he lounged for her and started tickling her. She couldn't help herself as she
started laughing incontrollably at his display. The librarian had ordered them
to keep quiet, Pacey just took Joey and grabbed her effortlessly off her feet
and into his arms, She took her and their books outside. When they reached the
parking lot he dropped all the books, she dropped hers also. She was still in
his arms and neither of them minded it for a second. He slowly started rocking
her in his arms, he then started spinning her, "Pacey stop, common, you're
making me dizzy!" She laughed out or pure joy as he kept spinning her like a
princess. "Oops, Jo, I think I'm getting a little dizzy too" "oh no you don't
Pacey" She had a perfectly good idea of what he was going to do. He gently yet
rapidly placed herojn the floor as he dramatically, actually over-dramatically
fell to her side. They both kept laughing whole-heartedly.
As
Joey stood up she felt her legs get weaker and she accidentally fell on top of
Pacey , she blushed a deep red as he did also. They both mumble apoligies to
eachother. As Pacey lifted his head up it came only inches apart from Joey's.
None of them dared to move, none of them wanted to move. Pacey felt an
over-whelming sensation to kiss her, as if nothing else in the world mattered
to him at that instant. He slowly started to lean in his head and he felt Joey
do it also, it was almost like an euphoria, a moment of wonder resumed in that
single moment. Their faces kept leaning as their lips lightly brushed Pacey
shook away violently from her. He got up and he helped her up also. Now she was
really confused, so Pacey didn't like her, without a word she took her books
and ran off. Pacey hating himself " What did I just do?" He asked silently.
The
next day Joey avoided all contact with him, he was suppose to get his test back
today and frankly she didn't care if he passed it or not, she didn't care if
she would have to repeat Literature again. She just simply didn't care anymore "He
doesn't care for me, why should I give a rat's ass about him.." School was
over, and when she went to her locker, she saw something peculiar hung to it,
it was Pacey's test, not only had he passed it but he had gotten an A too. As
she turned around she saw him behind her, he mouthed the words thank you. Joey
only responded by throwing the test paper. "Well, now we can move on, you get
on with your pathetic little life and may I never see you again!!" she stormed off, he reached for her wrist to
hold her but she slipped away easily.
That
night she had just laid in her bed thinking, as much as she tried she couldn't
stay mad at him. Odd, she thought all this time she thought she was in love
with Dawson, who knows, maybe all this time Dawson was just the bridge leading
to Pacey. Very strange she said out loud yet it was only a faint whisper "The
heart can be deceiving, you don't always fall in love with the right person"
She quoted herself form what she had said a week earlier "Something can be
right in front of you yet you don't notice it". She laughed as she thought
about it. God had a very good sense of humor to specifically chose her to go
through all of this.
Suddenly
a clank could be heard outside her window, she stood up from her bed grabbing
the nearest thing, which just happened to be her literature book. She steadily
opened the window and looked outside, what she saw shook her out of reality,
there was Pacey, dressed in tights going up to her window via a ladder. He
began reciting al those too familiar words from Shakespeare. "But soft, through
yonder window breaks, it is the east and Joey-et is the sun" Joey laughed at
how ridiculous he was being (As you probably are too Isabel, don't deny it!)
Pacey came closer to her.
"Joey
I am so sorry, for everything" Joey just shook her head at him "you don't have
to sorry for anything." "But I do Joey, any man in the universe would kill for
a kiss from a goddess like you, me I had you, I wanted you, but I just backed
off like a coward." Joey kept staring quizzically at him. "I realized it, I
realized what I always knew, Joey I love you" He looked at her straight in the
eye, she focused her own gaze on his also, it was a way for her to enter his
soul, through his eyes she could see he was not lying. It was time to stop
lying to herself. "Well its about time Pacey!!" He looked at her fondly. "Kiss
me" he said plain and simply. She looked perplexed at the request but he just
took his hand and placed it under her chin as he drew her closer to him. They
shared their first kiss, one filled with love, the love they shared for one
another (cheesy alert, sorry, but that's just who I am . As he pulled away she
took his hand on her own "And I love you".
