Chapter #1
(Pacey's pov)
" Hey Joe, how are you holding up?", I question as I cautiously walk up behind her. Its not suprise that she's hurt and feeling a little rejected right now. Dawson did just break up with her after all. He never really gave me a good reason as to why though. In my eyes he's nothing but an idiot though. How could he let someone as beautiful as Joey go? To make my day even worse, he enlisted me to look after her for him. As a loyal friend, I reluctantly agreed to.
" How do you think I'm holding up?", responds Joey in a sarcastic tone before rolling her eyes. Theres the Potter that I know and love. Here she is wounded and alone, yet she still has it in her to throw a quip my way. Dawson never deserved Joey in the first place. He only let her down time and again. After the night he rejected her there was no doubt in my mind that their relationship was headed south.
" Look, I'm sorry about how things turned out Joey.", I comment with a heavy sigh before kicking at the ground sheepishly. I'm not exactly sure what i'm supposed to say right now. Being nice to Joey is kind of a new concept to me. Unfortunately I promised Dawson I'd look after her so I don't have much of a choice but to be nice to her.
" I just had my heart ripped out and stomped on. How could Dawson do that to me, Pacey?", asks Joey with a bitter tone before swiping a few tears from her eyes. Watching quietly as more fall down her cheeks, I stare at my feet awkwardly. I've never really seen Joey cry before. I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to comfort her. I guess it wouldn't hurt to share in her pain. Beside I of all people should know what she's going through right now. It was long ago I broke up with Andie for cheating on me.
With a shrug of my shoulders, I stand beside Joey on the docks," I don't know, Potter. Probably the same way Andie was able to cheat on me."
Glancing over at me, Joey bites on her bottom lip," Yeah, I guess thats worse than being dumped. Sorry Pace."
" It's cool, Joe. You deserve better than that. Dawson is an idiot for letting you go.", I comment before sneaking a peek over at Joey for a reaction. Smirking when I notice the hints of a smile making its way across her features, I shove my hands into my pockets. I knew that would make Joey feel at least a tiny bit better. I meant every word of what I just aid too. If I ever had a girl like Joey? I would never let her go. (End Pacey's pov)
(Joey's pov)
" What if I told you that I was more relieved than hurt Pacey?", I inquire before wiping the last of my tears away. Sure I'm upset that Dawson and I broke but. But at the same time I'm also a little bit relieved too. The two of us breaking up was inevitable. We were doomed ever since the beginning, Dawson never really treated me right. After he rejected me that night nearly a month ago, things have been kind of tense between the two of us.
" What do you mean? Did you love him, Potter?", questions Pacey as he steal a glance in my direction, quietly awaiting my response. Thats kind of an odd question for Pacey to ask. Why does he even care whether I loved Dawson or not. Its not exactly his business. Though I would be lying if I said that I hadn't been asking myself the same question as of recently. Truth be told I'm not so sure of my answer.
" Exactly that, Dawson and I have been drifting apart for a while. We were bound to break up eventually. I thought that I did at one time. Now I'm not so sure. What about you, did you love Andie?", I ask after only a moments pause. I answered Pacey's question, its only fair that he answers mine. Andie really tore Pacey's heart out when he found out that she'd cheated on him. Finding out something like that is bound to make Pacey think twice about how he felt for her.
Tossing rocks into the creek, Pacey stares out at the darkened sky," I'm not sure, Joe. It hurts too much to think about whether I did or not."
Zipping up my coat, I shiver when the wind picks up," I guess that I can understand that, Pace." ….(End Joey's pov)
