Disclaimer: I own the soundtracks and 1st season on DVD, sadly, I don't any of these characters.
A/N: I can't believe the show is over. I started late in the show, 4th season, all though I have now seen almost every episode (thanks to the DVD release and TBS for re-running all of them). Every moment that I have seen on the show has been amazing, from the first I saw, to the last. The ending was really sad; however, like promised I will write a story from the ending. I will change things, such as couples and whatnot. There is one thing I won't do though. I won't disregard the series finale making Jen not have died. Couples can change, but something like that can't. I apologize to all fans of Jen (hey, I didn't hate her!). So I'm hoping that just because she isn't in it, you give it a chance. Read and review.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Joey just arrived in Capeside. It was Amy's fourth birthday and Jack was worried about her. He asked Dawson, Pacey, Andie and her to come. He wanted to have the people who knew Jen all around her. Grams had passed away a few months after Jen had. That was not nearly as sad. Jen would be with her. Joey was in deep thought of the surprising event that had happened. Jen, the girl she loved to hate, died. She felt awful. She knew how it felt loosing a mother. Amy never even knew her. Amy would have loved her. In that way, it was better she wouldn't have many memories. It's the memories that kill.
Joey walked into Jack's house. She saw him playing with Amy. She noticed Pacey and Doug were over.
"Hey Jack. How have you been?" She questioned with concern.
"Fine. Some days are better then others." He answered her.
"Yeah, that's how it is. I wish there was something more I can say, but I grieve over it all the time. I keep thinking of things I wished I said."
Amy then walks into the room.
"Hey there." Joey spoke. "It's Joey, I met you last year."
Amy giggles cutely. "I wemember."
Jack cleared his throat.
"Hi, Choey." She replied. "Great to see you again."
"You need to get good manners, Amy."
Joey kneeled down, to Amy's level. "Your four years old! Wow you have gotten so big! I haven't seen you for such a long time!"
"Your really pretty Choey." Amy said feeling Joey's hair.
"Thank you. You're a cutie too." She laughed.
She smiled and ran back in to see what Lilly and Alex were doing. She loved hanging out with them because they were older and she thought they were awesome.
"So is Andie coming?" Joey asked.
"Yeah." Jack replied.
"Well that will be nice, I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Yeah, I took Amy up to Boston last weekend to see her. Andie loves her."
"Well who couldn't?" Joey laughed.
"Yeah, she is adorable."
Joey smiled, "Yeah."
"These past couple of weeks have been awful, Jo."
"Why what's the matter, Jack?"
"Uh it's nothing really."
"Jack, I really don't care how little or unimportant you think whatever is bothering you is, just say it. You've known me for years, you can trust me."
"The thing is I don't know if it's a problem. She's been asking me about Jen lately. A lot. I mean I love that she cares about her, but it's been killing me to talk about her." He sniffles trying hard not to cry. "That's why I asked all of you to come. We can all share our memories of her with Amy. I never want Amy to forget, not know about her."
Joey offers him a hug. "Don't worry, anything she wants to know, we will all be hear to answer."
"Thanks. It makes me feel a little better about it all."
"Anything for you Jack."
"There is one more thing I'm feeling unsure about it."
"And what's that?"
"Should I show her the film?"
"What are you talking about? What film?"
"When she was dying, Dawson filmed her talking to Amy."
"Oh. How could I have forgotten that?"
"Don't worry. I'm just wondering when I should show it to her? Is it to soon?" Jack wondered concerned.
"It's a tough call. I would say no, she would respect and love it more in a few years. Some reason my gut is saying yes. She should see it."
"My thoughts exactly."
Then they heard a knock on the door.
It was Andie. Joey wasn't displeased that she was there, she was happy to be seeing Andie again. She wanted it to be Dawson.
* Joey then had a memory *
*~*~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*
"Joey if you love him just let me know." Pacey stated.
"Pace of course I love him. He's my best friend. I'll always love him."
He glared at her, with anger, "You know that's not what I meant. I saw the two of you looking at each other at Andie's party. Just tell me the truth Jo."
"Pace, I love him. I'm willing to put this behind me. I don't want to ruin us again." She said, starting to cry.
"Joey, I think we both know, we can't help who we love, and when we love them. I'm not going to sit here and say, I don't care, or it's ok. It's not ok Joey. I'm angry, but not at you. I'm letting you go. I just hope you come back someday."
Joey smiled at him and reached over to hug him. She then gave him a kiss. A
goodbye kiss. To her at least, it meant nothing more. It was sweet and nice. She loved it. She knew it couldn't go further. Why had she done this again? She left that night feeling confused. Unsurprisingly she left New York for LA. She found Dawson and talked to him. They got back together soon after. They had been going out since. When he wasn't working on the show (over the summer) they would see each other. She was going to see him again for the first time in about month. She couldn't wait. She thought of him and then was brought out of her memory.
*~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~
"Joey, earth to Joey!" Andie was saying right in front of her.
Joey laughed, "Sorry, I'm a little out of it, today."
Pacey looked at her. He knew whom she had been thinking about. Dawson.
"How have you been? How is New York?" Andie questioned Joey.
"I've been good. New York has been great for me. Writing seems to agree with me."
"Glad to hear it. You need to visit Boston more though."
"Yup. I do."
Amy saw Andie and ran into the room. "Aunt Andie, Aunt Andie!."
Andie smiled. "Hey baby. I'm here." She starts to tickle Amy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later that night.
"Well, thank you Jack for the great dinner, and I hope Amy liked her gift. I do have to start getting back though, it's a four hour drive."
Jack went over to give her a hug, "Thanks for coming this far just to see Amy and I. It means a lot to me. Drive safe."
"Oh your welcome." She laughed a little. "I came to see Amy though, not you Jack. I'll call you tomorrow. I'll try visiting in a few weeks. I'll take Amy out?"
"Sure. That would be great, just as long as that's what you want."
"Yeah, I'd love to. Talk to you later."
With that she put on her coat and proceeded to walk out the door. She was really surprised that Dawson never managed to come. She knew, his flight could have been delayed because of some weird reason, or he couldn't leave, and the list could go on and on.
She walked up to her car and saw someone standing next to her car.
"Dawson?" She questioned, smiling.
"Yeah, sorry I didn't make it earlier. It took me longer to get here then I thought. I didn't have a ride from Boston to here."
She laughed, "Oh it's all right. Amy's asleep all ready. Jack is not asleep if you want to go seem him quick."
"Yeah, ok, I will."
"Did you need a place to stay?" Joey asked.
"Uh, actually, that be great."
"Ok, I'll go turn on the car. See ya soon."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Andie had decided that she did want to go back home, rather then stay with Jack. She knew he had enough to deal with, without the burden of her there. She wasn't sure if that was true, or just that she wanted to be a lone with Pacey. He had offered to drive her to Boston. They were about 10 minutes into the drive.
"Thanks for the ride Pacey." Andie offered to break the silence.
"Your welcome. Anything for you."
She smiled, "Is there something on your mind. You look a little angry."
He shrugged, "Nuh. There is nothing wrong."
The truth was, he was a little upset, jealous. Joey looked so happy with Dawson and he had no one.
"Pacey, there is something I have been meaning to tell you. I didn't want to say it over the phone. I still love you."
"Jeez you don't waste time getting to the point."
She nodded, "I've never been good at that."
"Why are you just telling me now? I mean how long?"
"Almost ten years." She confessed.
"Andie! Do you know how crazy that is. I mean who could like ME for that long?"
"Pacey, I love you."
"Andie, I love you too."
"Let me guess, you're not ready to start dating again?"
"No, I'm ready. Just not today. Pick you up Friday night at 7pm?"
Andie smiled, "Yeah that sounds good."
He dropped her off and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"See ya McPhee."
"See ya later Witter."
