Chapter#10

(Andrew's pov)

" Are you alright Joey?", I call from outside the bathroom door, Joey has been in there for a half hour. I'm starting to get worried about her. Is she still throwing up? I wonder what is wrong with her? I know she had a lot to drink last night but could she really be sick from that? All I want to do right now is make sure that she is alright. I know that going in the bathroom is a bad idea though.

" Go away, I just want to be left alone!", snaps Joey in agitation on the other end. Whoa what is her problem? I'm only trying to be a nice guy and check on her. Joey wouldn't be so damn angry if Pacey had only stayed in his own damn room. Can't really blame him for wanting to sleep near Joey though, she's beautiful. What guy wouldn't want to wake up next to her?

Leaning against the bathroom door, I sink down to the ground," Its only me, relax. Pacey and Jack left for work already. …I can wait until you're ready to talk."

Starting up a bath, Joey takes off her clothes and climbs in," I just hate Pacey so much right now."

" He made an honest mistake Joey, he's only human.", I remind with a hesitant sigh. I'm not sure why I'm defending Pacey right now but I am. He only wants to be with Joey, he should have broken up with Sarah before starting anything up with her though. He had to have known that Joey would find out about his girlfriend. How could she not?

" He cheated on his girlfriend with me, Andrew! I'm a home wrecker!", snaps Joey in anger much to my displeasure. She really thinks that? Why? Pacey is the one who cheated on his girlfriend with her. Joey had no idea about Sarah, if she had I know that she never would have slept with him. She isn't that kind of girl. Joey is far from a home wrecker, for her to even think that is ridiculous.

" Aren't you being just a little overly dramatic Joey?", I point out with a chuckle at her wording. Do I understand where she is coming from? Absolutely. Do I think that there is any truth to Joey's logic? Not even in the slightest. Her and Pacey need to sit down and talk out there differences once and for all. Nothing is ever going to be resolved between them until they do.

" Are you seriously defending Pacey right now?!", complains Joey in a loud and threatening voice, its now that I jump back from the bathroom door. Huh, perhaps I should have worded myself differently. The last thing I want to do is get on Joey's bad side. I have seen what happens when someone does and I do not feel like sporting a black eye given to me by a petite girl. Something tells me that I should tread lightly.

Knowing better than to argue, I quickly back pedal," No, he is a jerk, you're right."

Laying back in the tub, Joey closes her eyes," Sleeping with Pacey was a mistake and I knew it would be. I'm an idiot. …Dammit not again!"

" Are you alright in there?", I question in a concerned voice. Wincing when I hear Joey throwing up yet again, I sigh my head with a concerned huff. I hope that she is ok. Joey shouldn't still be puking and yet she is. Could she be coming down with something? I want to make up something to eat but I don't want to upset her stomach anymore that it probably already is.

" No, I think I've got a bug or the flu. I've been throwing up all morning.", mumbles Joey as I hear her gag over the toilet once more. Not knowing what else to do I resume my seat against the bathroom door. Should I see if she needs to go to the doctors? Maybe Joey is right, maybe she just has a bug or the flu. If that's the case she need medicine and antibiotics. I'm really starting to feel bad for her.

" Are you sure you're not pregnant?", I ponder aloud after a few minutes of silence. It isn't the smartest question to be asking, but I can't help wondering. Joey did sleep with Pacey, there is a possibility that she could be. Especially if they didn't use protection. From what I gather they were both more than a little drunk when they hooked up. For all they know they might have forgotten to use a condom. I hope that's not the case though. If it is Pacey is in for a rude awakening and quite possibly another black eye.

" Don't even joke like that Andrew!", screams joey from inside the bathroom. Yep, I knew that was a stupid question and yet I asked it anyway. What the hell was I thinking? The mere thought must have poor Joey terrified. I can't even begin to imagine what she is thinking right now. One thing is for sure, Joey is sick and needs to see a doctor probably and quick. I just hope that she doesn't come out swinging when she finally emerges from the bathroom. If she does, I have a feeling that I could be in for a world of pain. ….
