Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my fifth Dawson's Creek story. I'll writing this as well as Conflicted Love, Love Unrequited, Unlikely Pair and Clueless Affection on here now.

Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story is original and from my imagination.

Author's note: this is my fifth try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together and it is set in season one. Wanted to switch things up for a change and try something different. Enjoy and review thanks :)

Chapter #1

(Pacey's pov)

" Its killing you, isn't it Joe?", I question as I make my way out of the movie theaters after Joey. She's going to play it off like she has no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm not dumb. I know better. Joey can't stand the sight of those two together. It is literally killing her to see him with someone that isn't her. Joey is so hung up on Dawson, she's sometimes blind when it comes to everyone else around her. It sickens me actually.

" Whats that, Pacey?", asks joey before quickly swiping the tears from her eyes and cheeks. Too late, I caught you Potter. She's been crying again. Not a big surprise. Joey has been doing a lot of that lately. I don't get it. Why is Joey pining for Dawson when she could have just about any guy that she wants. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

" Seeing Dawson follow after Jen the way he does, you know, like a lost horny puppy dog.", I point out much to Joey's displeasure. This causes her to glare up at me in irritation. I don't know why she is angry with me. I'm not the one tripping over every word that Jen says or humping air at the thought of her. Dawson is. I'm just as disgusted by as Joey is personally. But I can't say that I blame Dawson. Jen is quite the female specimen. She could never hold a candle to Joey though, no one could.

" Once again Pacey, I have no idea what your talking about.", insists Joey with a growing frown taking over her features. Right, of course you don't Joe. Why would you? I suppose next your going to tell me that you ran out of the theaters because the cheesy romantic comedy made you cry? Yeah right, get real Potter. You're not fooling anyone, least of all me.

Walking backwards in front of Joey, I only smile down at her," Of course you do Joe, I saw you earlier. You nearly had a heart attack when Dawson reached for Jen's hand. Relax, Potter. I'm only pointing out the obvious."

Stopping in her tracks, Joey narrows her eyes up at me," How would you like a second black eye tonight Pacey? I hate you."
