Sometimes it's not to late.
Summary: At the end of Season 4, Joey left of Oxford University in England, determined to do well as well as clear the cob webs from her head. She had had enough with Pacey and Dawson. After a year she decides to transfer to Worthington and continue earning her degree in journalism as well as getting a second chance with a boy that she was trying to get out of her head. Is it Pacey or Dawson?
A/N: I've missed doing fan fictions so much. I've been working on my own story on fiction press and I love doing that. Anyway please review but no flames.

Joey sat a lone on the plane. She was anxious to get home. She was also dreading it. Part of her wanted to see her old friends, Jen, Dawson, Jack, Pacey and Andie, but part of her worried that going back to her past was not what she needed. It was a nonstop flight and it seemed like hours had gone by but really it was only 20 minutes.
Back in Boston, Dawson was writing a script. He was a student at Boston Arts college where he was taking several film classes. He really enjoyed them and he was learning a lot. At this rate, his dreams of becoming a big-time director might come true. Even though everything was great, he still missed her. Her being Joey. He had expected she would go to college in Boston, maybe New York City, but never would he have guessed her to go all the way to England. He understood they had one of the worlds best writing programs but for the selfish reason of missing her he had not wanted her to go. He hadn't told her that though. He instead encouraged her to pursue her dreams, just as she had always done for him.
Even though Pacey hadn't gotten into college he was working at a restaurant since he returned. Even though at first he just was a prep chief, he worked his way up to head chief. Him and Dawson had been spending time together, along with the rest of the gang, Jen, Jack and Andie. It never felt the same with out Joey though.
At last, she was now a mere ten minutes from Boston. She couldn't wait to see them again. It would be great. Not to mention she would be going to Worthington, where she had first wanted to go. She had known that she needed time to herself and not mention a year at Oxford would look impressive when it came time to look for jobs. She wondered how Dawson was doing or what Pacey was up to and why Andie came back. She hadn't really talked to anyone while she was away but Bessie and she really had no idea what her friends where doing. She was so caught up in the thinking, she hadn't even noticed the plane had landed until she saw people getting up. She grabbed her two carry-on items. She got off the plane and walked to the baggage pickup. She then took her cell phone out while waiting and called Bessie.
"Hello?" Bessie answered.
"Hey Bess it's me. I'm at the airport, can you come and get me?"
"Yeah sure, but don't you want to see your friends first?"
"No, I think I want wait a day or two."
"All right, I'll be there in about an hour."
"Ok." Joey said, and then hung up the phone.
She wasn't ready to see her friends yet. Well, Jen, Jack and Andie maybe, but not Pacey or Dawson. She knew she would have too soon. She took a seat and waited for her ride. When someone called her name she looked behind her. It was Jack, to her surprise.
"Oh my god! Jack?" Joey replied.
"Yeah, what are you doing here? Are you home for the summer."
"Yeah, I'll be in Capeside for the summer, but I'm going to be in Boston starting in September to live in Boston. I've transferred to Worthington."
"Oh my god, that's great. How could you not tell us?"
She shrugged, "I don't know, I just . . . wanted to surprise you all. So don't tell them yet. I'll be coming to visit in a few days, just need to get settled first."
"All right, but you better come soon. I miss you!"
She smiled, "I missed you all too. Don't worry I will. Besides, you know where I am now, you can always find me." She gave him a hug then asked him something, "What are you doing at the airport anyway?"
"Uh picking up Toby, he is in town for a few days."
Joey smiled, "All right, see you soon! Bye!"
He waved one last time and she watched him walk down the hall. About 20 minutes later, Bessie pulled up. The ride home was quite, which Joey liked because it gave her time to think. They arrived at the B and B and Joey smiled. She was home. She got in and began to unpack. When she was done it was around 6pm. She decided to go down to the Leery house to say hi to Gail, Mitch and also to see Lilly. Her sister, Bodie and Alex had all gone out so the truck was gone. That left one way to get there. She looked at the row boat and though, why not. She got in it and starting paddling down the creek. It had been such a long time since she had last been in this. Not since 11th grade.
When she arrived, she knocked on the door and no one answered. She decided to climb the window seeing as the latter was right there and all. She climbed it and to her surprise Dawson was in his room.
"What are you doing here Dawson?" Joey answered, surprised.
He jumped slightly, "What are you doing here?"
Joey smiled as she climbed in, "You first . . ."
"I'm visiting my family for the weekend."
"I transferred to Worthington, I'm back and I'm staying in Capeside for the summer, of course visiting Boston frequently."
He smiled, "Jo . . . I've missed you so much. You never even called."
"I know, I'm sorry."
They both hugged and filled each other in on what they had been doing.
"Ya know Dawson, I'm really tired. Do you think I can spend the night?"
He looked at her, "Yeah, that's fine."
She plopped herself down on the left side of the bed and fell asleep soon after. Dawson sat and watched her for a few minutes. He couldn't believe it. He hadn't seen her in a year and now, here she was, sleeping in his bed. It was great to have her back.
