Chapter #1

(Pacey's pov)

" Pacey where have you been? We need to go now.", urges Jack as I walk through the front door. Whoa, what is his hurry? By the look on his face its easy to tell that something is wrong. Jack looks really stressed out right now. Did something happen? Should I be worried?

" Why? Whats up?", I inquire not bothering to take off my coat. Not once have I ever seen Jack this worked up. He is starting to scare me a little bit. I hope everything is alright. Oh crap what if something bad happened to Andie? I know he was supposed to go and see her this weekend. Could something have happened to her? I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

" Joey is in the hospital.", explains Jack much to my disbelief. She's what?! Why is Joey in the hospital? Is she okay? Is she hurt? Was she in an accident? Oh man, this can't be good. Jack is right, we need to go and now. If anything bad happened to Joey that I wasn't there to prevent I would never forgive myself.

" What happened?", I ask still unable to comprehend what Jack has just told me. If Potter is in the hospital it must be serious. A million thoughts run through my mind and all of them scare the hell out of me. A sinking feeling forms in the pit of my stomach as endless possibilities fly through my head.

Grabbing his car keys, Jack heads for toward the door," Lucas beat the hell out of her."

Curling up a fist at my side, I follow Jack outside," You go on ahead, I'll meet you at the hospital."

" Where are you going?", questions Jack with a look of confusion. Does he really need to ask? He isn't going to like the answer. I'm going to kick the shit out of Lucas! That bastard has no right laying a finger on Joey, but to put her in the hospital? I'm going to pound his face in!

" Don't worry about it.", I mutter before opening the driver door to my jeep and climbing in. Lucas thinks he can slap Joey around and get away with it? That prick has another thing coming. I knew Joey staying with him after their last huge fight was a bad idea and she did anyway. Why can't she listen to me for once.

" It's not worth it Pacey.", I hear Jack call from behind me. It's not worth it? Like hell its not! That jerk laid his hands on Joey! He is going to deserve what he has coming to him. I'm going to make Lucas regret what he did and make sure he thinks twice about ever coming near Joey again.

" That prick put Potter in the hospital!", I exclaim unable to control my anger. For the life of me, I will never understand what Joey ever saw in that creep. All he ever did was try to control her. Joey is her own person; she can do whatever the hell she wants. She sure as hell doesn't need his permission!

Stepping in front of my jeep, Jack prevents me from leaving," Which is where we should be."

Letting out a frustrated sigh, I open the passenger door of my jeep," Lucas better hope I never run into him."

" He'll get what he deserves, trust me.", assures Jack before climbing in. We take off down the road; I drive as fast as I can. All I can think about right now is Joey. I can't imagine what she must have been through today. I hope she is alright. What the hell gives Lucas the right to lay a hand on her? What kind of guy puts a girl in the hospital?

" Damn right he will.", I vow mostly to myself. Jack might have stopped me now, but if I ever see Lucas he is a dead man. Soon as I make sure Joey is ok, I'm forbidding her from ever seeing him again. If she is smart she won't argue with me either. All I want is for her to be safe and if she can't see that then that's not my problem.

" Come on, lets go see Joey.", advises Jack with more than a hint of concern in his voice. I'm sure the same thoughts that are running through my mind are running through his right now as well. All I want is to make sure Joey is alright, that is all that I care about right now. If she is in the hospital obviously something bad must have happened to her.

" For his sake she had better be alright.", I warn with an agitated breath. We pull into the hospital parking lot and I park in the first space I find. Getting out of the jeep, Jack and I both make a beeline for the front entrance. Once inside we both head straight to the receptionist desk and explain why we're here before simultaneously asking where we can find Joey. …..

This is chapter 1, tell me what you think. Like it, hate it? Should I continue or not? I will update often if I see people are reading and leaving comments. Enjoy
