CHAPTER 4 OF THE MOMENT

It was only a few days before summer break and joey and pacey were busy getting packed .

Thankfully bessie said that she could go but only under one condition...have fun.

Joey actually laughed aloud when her sister said that.

She really had the best sister on earth she thought to her self.Pacey's parents didn't mind either .

So all they had to do was wait untill school broke out.

Finally the clock hit 3 o'clock and pacey and joey quickly said good-bye and agreed to meet at the peir in about an hour.

Just as joey was about to leave Bessie shouted on her .."Pacey's on the phone" and handed her the phone.

"hey" joey said." hey potter you ready to go ?" pacey asked.

" Yeah..we're just heading out the door .." . " ok see u about 15 mintues" pacey said."Yeah bye.." ."This is gonna be a great summer " pacey said " yeah ..it is "joey repiled before they both hung up.

Pacey seen joey arriving with her bags trailing behind her and bessie with little alexander boatie and jen.

"Hey baby" pacey said as joey came up to his boat " hey",joey replied.Pacey took joey's bags and put them aboard.

As they started there tearful good-byes,joey spotted dawson so did pacey.Dawson's face dropped when he spotted the happy couple.

He walked over to them and pacey went and stood beside joey."Where are use going ?"dawson asked curiously .."you've got a cheek Dawson Leery" bessie said angry.

"What are you doing here dawson?" Joey asked."i...are use going away for the summer?" dawson asked jealously.

"Yeah ..we are" pacey answered throught gritted teeth."Have a good time ...hope you both break up...well we all know you will cause little virgin joey here wont give you any pacey i mean ..she is just too scared..aint yeah joey " dawson said surcasticly .

That done it and pacey smacked dawson across the mouth.." you stay away from us,and just cause she's a virgin who cares...i dont want her for sex ..i love her dawson" pacey said still pissed off

"pacey lets just go please" joey said pleadingly.

Pacey turned round and looked at her pleading face and nodded.

They said good bye to bessie boatie jen and alexander and got on the boat.

Dawson just walked away obvisely upset and really jealous.

As pacey started up the boat bessie and boatie shouted "bye..have a good time" .

As they got futher and futher away from the shore joey's smile faded.."Jo are you ok ?" pacey asked worriedly as he saw her sad face."yeah...just dawson kinda hurt my feelings.." ,"Joey..are you worried about the sex thing ??" joey just nodded .

"Dont worry baby ..seriously as i said i dont care about the sex..i love you ok ?" pacey said and took her into his embrace and hugged her."ok" joey whispered and hugged into him. Damn dawson...pacey thought to him self as he held joey closely.

As the sun set Pacey was cooking the fish he had caught earlier that day.

Joey also caught a fish which was twice as big as pacey's ."You aint embaressed are ya pace..being beat by a girl ?" joey asked teasely.

"Nah potter..thats nothing to be shoutin about...i'll beat ya tomorrow potter...but for now lets try and be civil for at least twenty four hours huh ?".Joey gave a sulky pout and he met her lips with a kiss.

After dinner they were beat and thought they would call it a night and climbed into there bunks,each with a book in their hands.

Before long they were sighing with boredom,there books no longer intersting them."Are you awake pace..?" joey asked.

"No...are you?" pacey said surcasticly, leaning over his bed only for the blood to rush to his head."what you reading potter?"."Little woman,what about you"."Ok potter ..you promise not to laugh if i tell you?".Joey nodded yes."Well its a book thats always helps me to sleep...Its the little mermaid..."

"Really ?? i love that ...its my favorite fairly-tale".

" Just like us then".

They chatted for what seemed all night before they finally couldn't keep there eyes open any longer, and fell asleep hands aclasped from there bunks.

The following morning they both woke up to the sounds of the birds singing and chirping.

"Uck whats that smell..?"joey complained suddenly getting up pottering round the boat to find the culprit of the revolting stench.

"it smells like fish.." pacey said and stood up to help find it with joey.

Suddenly pacey slipped on the fish that they had forgotten to throw over board last night."Ahhrrr"pacey roared.

Joey laughs aloud picking the fish up and waving it over his face making pacey more annoyed.

Pacey suddenly grabbed joey by the waist bring her down to the ground .

"Pacey !! what are you doing" joey said her smile now faded.

Joey was now on paceys lap ,his arms still clasped round her waist.

Joey struggled trying to get up but stopped when pacey kisses her." you can't be mad at me now potter" pacey teased.

Joey playfully hits him on the chest and stands and he stands too."So what you want for breakfast potter?" pacey asked .."anything ..as long as it aint fish" joey said then smiled."Ok well we have rolls that bessie made up for us..we never ate them last night so we can have them now"pacey said and joey nodded her approvel.

After breakfast they both decided to go for a swim.

Joey went inside to change first.

When she came back out she was wearing a pink bikini that showed off her flat golden-brown stomach and her long smooth legs,her slim arms.

Pacey's mouth dropped when he saw her.."What " joey asked worriedly.."i knew it was too much " she said and went to run and change but pacey grabbed her arm and put his hands round her waist and whispered into her ear " you look fantastic potter".Joey smiled and whispered thanks .

When pacey finally drew his eyes away from joey he went and got changed into his swiming trunks.

When he came out joey couldn't help but look at his tanned chest ..so musculer and handsome she thought.

She came back to reality when pacey came and took her into his arms and said"you ready to go swimming potter"."yeah.."joey repiled .

They both held hands and jamp into the sea.

When they both came up from under water joey smiled at pacey who also smiled at her .

They played for a while in the sea..slashing,ducking each other under,kissing.

When they both got back on the boat pacey went and got them towels "Here potter" pacey said giving her the towel."dont want you to get cold"pacey said with a little smirk.

"Too late ..am already cold" joey said and rolled her eyes as she always does.

Pacey laughed and took her into his arms and rubbed her back to get some heat into her.

"Hmm this is the best summer ever" joey said and smiled "its because of you pacey witter ".Joey said."Yeah..well this is my best summer potter..and its cause of you " pacey replied.

Joey went down-below the boat and got changed.

She sat on her bunk for a while thinking.

She was brought back to reality when pacey came down and said " jo ..you alright ?"."Yeah am ..ok...just thinking about what we are gonna do when we go back say dawson ruins what we have ???" joey said honestly.

"Dont worry potter ..we're gonna be fine,as long as we stick together ..no one can break us up" pacey said sencerly.

A while after their talk, it was dinnner time and pacey had caught a large fish for them and cooked it .

After dinner pacey and joey sat and snuggled up looking at the stars ,listening to the waves crashing,dolphins and wales wayling.

It was perfect.

"Its a lil chilly you wanna go inside ?" pacey asked a lil concerned.

"no..your doing a great job of keeping me warm" joey replied with a little smile as he held her closely."oh really..good" pacey replied also with a little smile.

Just they were about to kiss a other boat sailed up to theirs.

Pacey stood up to see if they need any help.

"hey you need any help ?" pacey said to the people on the other boat.

"nah " said one of the guys.

The guy who spoke jamp onto True Love surprising pacey and joey.

"Hey man what you want " pacey said a little panicky.Then pacey saw the gun and froze.

"Well for starts we're taking over your boat...and damn is that your girl?" the random man said wavin round the gun.

"you stay away from her" pacey said.

"oOoh touchy are we " the guy replied.

More men stepped on board of true love making joey more frightened

."jo get down below " pacey said getting more and more scared for him and joey's life as the men who who just joined them had more guns.

"Am not leaving you" joey practactily shouted.

"Joey just go " pacey said .

"No pacey" joey said stronger this time.

Damn she's sturborn pacey thought to him self.

Just then one of the other men grabbed joey from behind " Nooo let me go " joey shouted with fear in her voice.

Pacey was just about to run to her resuce but a other guy grabbed him .

"Don't you dare touch her" pacey shouted angryly.

Joeys face was full of fear."OoOh don't worry ..i wont hurt her..we will just have fun " the guy said who had a grip of joey.

Joey was still stuggling to get free."well i was gonna leave it till later but lets go and have some fun right now " the guy said with a smile and tryed to drag joey down below.

" NOoooO let GoOO of me " joey shouted.

"let her go now" pacey shouted still trying to get free from the guy who had a grip on him.

Pacey seen the fear in joeys eyes as she was dragged down below the boat which took too men to do as she was strong and really struggling making it hard for them.

Pacey still heard scream which caused his heart to break.

Pacey finally got free and ran as fast as he could as they men took him onto their boat , it took longer but as soon as he got onto true love he ran down below just in time before the man who grabbed joey in the first place had his fun.

" Pacey " joey scream half relieved but but still frightened.

Pacey knocked out the guy who held joey down with her arms and then went for the guy who was on top of her and grabbed him off her and punched him intill he was also knocked out.

As soon as the guy was out cold pacey ran to joey and took her into his arms " are you ok ...did her hurt you ???" he asked worriedly.

"NoOo he was about to but then you came in" joey said through sobs.

"its ok baby am here...am here dont worry" pacey said trying to calm her down.

As soon as joey felt calm enough they went out with joey still gripped to pacey, to check that no one was there.

Thankfully they were away , and so were the guys who nearly raped joey.

Pacey started up the boat and headed to capeside port.pacey hardly left joey's side.

She had a few cuts and bruises on her face and legs but the real damage was emotional.

They both were glad when they got to shore." come on lets get you home huh?" pacey said sofly.

"No ..lets go to you place i dont want to go home"."Ok..lets go to grechen's place she's outta town " pacey replied.

Joey nodded her approvel and they headed to grechen's apartment.

When they got inside joey just broke-down in paceys arms all pacey could do was comfort her and say" am sorry ..am sooo sorry ".

After a while joey's sobs became fewer intill they had gone.

Pacey made her a couple of tea and they cuddled up by the fire and joey said " its not your fault...you saved me ..your my hero" joey said sofly.

Joey felt as if they were closer then ever.

Pacey smiled and held her closer..intill she driffied off into a deep sleep.
