BACK IN THE DAY
Joey sighed as she took out the keys to the front door. She looked up and squinted at the large windows reflecting the mid-afternoon sun. She sighed again and opened the large door.
The hallway was enormous and had a gorgeous wooden staircase leading up to the first floor. Joey smiled to herself this was it, her house. She explored the building, this was her house and she was free. Chris was gone forever and she would never have to face him again. She wouldn't ever have to ask permission to have a shower, use the phone, turn on the TV, anything.
She was jolted back to reality by her cell phone ringing in her bag. She dug through he stuff and eventually found it. Looking at the caller ID she smiled and answered the phone.
"Hey you," she said, "I owe you so much. This place is amazing, I don't think I'd even be here if it wasn't for you. Thank you so, so much."
"Don't go getting soppy on me now," said the familiar voice down the phone. "You'd do the same for me. You deserve the best Potter, anyway, what are friends for?"
"Well, Witter," she smiled as he called her by the nickname that only he used. "I still owe you, so how about I take you out tonight. Nothing much, just dinner and a movie - what do you say?"
"I don't know Jo, sounds a bit like a date!" he joked. "Of course I'll be there, I'll pick you up at eight."
"See you then!" She hung up and looked at her watch, Pacey was going to be there at eight. That gave her some time to get her stuff together and start to unpack a little bit.
She made her way to the car parked on the driveway and began to take her bags from the car. This was it, the beginning of her new life and she was happy. Happy to be back in Boston, happy to be among friends and happy that things were finally going the way she wanted.
