Been There, Done That.
I disclaim
He knew he shouldn't be here, it was stupid of him to come back here, but he had to.
Because she hadn't been there, he had driven her away so she could go, and she wasn't there.
He had shown up at Worthington, not expecting to her to be happy to seen him, but expecting her to be there.
But she wasn't, the school wasn't releasing information but the girl that was suppose to be her roommate had said that 'the scholarship girl didn't show'.
He didn't really deserve to know not after the way he left things, after that Prom incident he be lucky if she saw him at all, but he had to know.
So here he was back in Capeside, and looking for Joey Potter, knowing that he shouldn't be here, but having to know what happened. He hoped Brodie was home, Brodie as least would give him a chance to explain.
Bessie would shoot first and ask questions later, and after the way he left things with his family, Doug and his Dad wouldn't even question her at all.
"Come on, where's your spine Witter, she's only you're the love of your life, you can handle her."
That said Pacey made his way from the truck to the front door, each step causing a bead of sweat to break out on his forehead even in the cool September afternoon.
The place didn't look any different , but he felt a new vibe as he got closer to the door, he put it down to the knowledge that he probably wasn't welcome here anymore, once upon a time he could have just walked through the door, but now he was here as a visitor, not even a friend.
He took a deep breathe and knocked on the front door, still praying that Brodie opened the door, but when he heard the footsteps coming closer for some reason a sense of dread began building in his cheat, and he just new the person opening the door was not going to be a fan of his.
" Welc….Witter."
"Valentine." Drue Valentine, why was Drue Valentine welcoming people to the Potter B&B, Joey hated this guy, Bessie had taken one look at the guy and told her sister to stay away from him, so what was he doing here. "What are you…?"
BAM
Before Pacey had a chance to finish the question he found himself flat on his rear end in the dirt, looking up at an angry Drue.
"Get out here NOW."
Pacey struggled to get to his feet, he knew he couldn't hit Drue back, because that would start trouble and starting troubling at the B&B would not endear him more to the Potter girls. He was just about to ask what Drue's problem was when he heard a new voice that cause even more dread.
"Drue…what's going on?" Bessie stepped out onto the porch and found her answer, Pacey giving Drue curious looks and Drue returning them with deadly glares, "Drue just go inside."
"Bessie…" Both men started, but she shoots each of them a look that shut them up real quick. Drue moved toward the door going inside giving Pacey dirty looks the whole way.
"Hey Bessie." Pacey said once Valentine was in the house watching from the window." I was wondering…"
"I don't care what you were wondering Pacey, I want you off my property, before I call the sheriff."
"Bessie…." Pacey took a step toward her and found himself shoved back.
Bessie balled up her fist, and lifted her hand as if she was going to hit him, but she just shook her head." Save it, just get off my property." She gave him one last furious look and headed back inside.
"Bessie."
"Pacey, save it." She said as she shut the door, locking the top lock firmly in place as Drue glared from the window.
Pacey just stood there on the porch in shock, what the HELL had just happened. He needed answer and he knew one person that would give them to him, and might even be glad to see him.
"Lindley."
Jen looked up from book and stared at the man before in shock. "Pacey Witter." For some reason after everything that happened she kind of figured that she would never really see him again. Pacey had left Capeside in a grand fashion, he had managed to alienate almost everyone that he cared for him, and just angry those that didn't even more.
"Hey are you just as angry as everyone else?"
"No." Jen closed the book and stood from the table, coming around it to hug her friend. "I know better then to judge someone on something they did in the past."
Pacey held onto Jen tightly he knew she would be the one to understand him, the one to explain this craziness to him. "So what's been happening, why aren't you in New York?"
"Pacey, stop tip toeing around things, what do you want to know?"
" Where is Joey, what happened to Worthington, and why the HELL is Drue Valentine at the B&B?"
Jen sat back down at the kistchen table, and took a breath, before motioning for Pacey to take a seat, when he did, she grabbed his hand and gave it a supoortive squeeze. " Worthington, has been delayed, Joey is at Capeside General Hospital, and Drue is at the B&B, because he's Joey's brother."
" WHAT?"
