Chapter Fourteen
Pacey had never been so livid in his life, and his former best friend was about to pay. Pacey had been in the car driving to The Leery's house making himself all kinds of mad just thinking about it over and over till he was ready to burst. Pacey had never in his life really wanted to harm someone sure he had been angry with his parents, Sarah but this was different and he knew why. Dawson had hurt her. He hurt his girl emotionally physically and all because she wouldn't sleep with him?! Dawson had always been self-obsessed and when he wanted something and didn't get it he used to bitch and moan until people would give in. That was Dawson. And Pacey knew that but never did he think it would get to this.
Back at the B'n'B Jack ran inside to get to Joey. Pacey was going to do something stupid if someone didn't stop him and he knew the only one that could was Joey. He rushed into the kitchen and grabbed her by the arm and got his keys off the holder.
Joey- Jack what are you doing?
Jack- We haven't got time for this Jo I'll tell you in the car
Haley- Jack what's wrong?
Jack- Someone has to stay and look after Lilly and Jen you're pregnant so I..just stay here with Lilly k
Joey- Jack tell me what's going on or I'm not going anywhere
Jack- … He knows Jo
Joey- What?!
Jack- Pacey he knows about…
Joey- Let's go
Lilly- Mommy what's wrong is Daddy okay?
Joey- Of course sweetheart we'll be back soon k
Lilly- Okay Mommy
Joey Haley and Jack then bolted out the door and were in Jack's car like a flash. They all knew Leery Jr was in Capeside he had dropped out of film school and was staying with Mr. and Mrs. Leery. Pacey didn't know because Dawson had been avoiding him but the rest of them did. Gale had told them by accident when she called Joey to see how her and Lilly were going back when they were in New York obviously having no clue what her son had done to Joey. The whole time they knew he was there but they knew he wouldn't be a problem Jack had threatened his life the last time they saw him and that was that they hadn't seen him since. But now Pacey was already at their doorstep and Dawson's parents weren't home. Pacey walked straight in like he always had and found Dawson as expected in his room fiddling with camera equipment. Lord this is sad Pacey thought.
Pacey- Hey D
Dawson- Pacey?
Pacey- Thought I'd come buy we've got some stuff to discuss
Dawson- Oh yeah?
Dawson said still not paying him his full attention while he messed with his lenses changing them on his fancy camera and being obnoxious
Pacey- Yeah like oh I don't know this…
Whack! Pacey had punched him square in the gut
Pacey- and uh this…
Whack! In the face
Pacey- And how rude of me I forgot…
He then kneed him hard in the balls. Dawson was on the floor squirming.
Dawson- What the hell!!
Pacey- You hit her you sorry ass son of a bitch. You hit her!!
Dawson- Is that what she told you?
Pacey- Oh please Dawson you expect me to believe you over Joey!! Over my daughter?! She saw you freaking asshole she saw her mother bruised all over because of you!! And Joey?! You used to say you loved this woman!! You loved her so much no one else could have her remember!! She was happy with me you son of a…
Whack Pacey punched him in the gut again. Dawson cringed and tried to swing back but missed
Pacey- Why did you have to have her Dawson huh?! So you could abuse her?! So you could hurt her!! She didn't' want to sleep with you so you think you can just hit her!!
Dawson- Stop Pacey she's not worth it
Pacey- Like hell she's not!!
Dawson- Why are you here? Did you two get back together or something?
Dawson started laughing
Pacey- Oh that's funny is it?
Dawson- Of course it is. Don't you get it Pacey?
Dawson said stumbling back to his feet
Dawson- You proved everyone right. You are an idiot. Going after Joey? Please Pacey she'll never be with you forever that girl has dreams of her own dreams that definitely don't include you. Don't you get it yet? You are Capeside it's true and Joey spent her whole life, not trying to get away from this town she was trying to get away from you. See Pacey you were right as soon as she left Capeside, left you, she's a success she goes to NYU she supports her daughter and one day she's going to do something great that keeps her far fucking away from your sorry ass. She chews guys up and spits them out it's what she's always done and you know it deep down you know you're not good enough for her.
Dawson started to laugh
Dawson- Just a glutton for punishment huh?
Then without any notice in came Joey who punched Dawson square in the face and kneed him in the balls so hard he would have to go to the hospital. He was on the floor again tearing from the pain.
Joey- You say any of that shit again I'll remove your balls permanently. You're lucky I didn't let Pacey kill you but don't think I did that for you. You're pathetic and we all know it we've all known who you really are Dawson for a long time. You're evil and I should have kicked your ass a long time ago. You made me feel helpless and worth nothing. But Pacey means everything to me he always has and that's why you're so damned hateful because you know you'll never live up to him. You said it your self Dawson this movie isn't about the golden boy it's about the underdog well you 're life has always been a movie so here's your ending Pacey is the hero and you're just the complication along the way.
Joey looked up at Pacey checking to see if he was okay
Joey- Pacey?
He sobered from the surreal moment that had just happened right in front of him.
Pacey- Yeah Joey what? Where did you come from?
Joey- Jack… Come on Pace let's go home please
Pacey smiled at her but his head was still reeling from Dawson's words how did he do that? He managed to find every insecurity Pacey had and that scared him that it was so obvious to him was it obvious to everyone else did they all think what he thought? That he just wasn't good enough? Joey had told him otherwise and that night was one of the best nights of his life. She had told him to really hear her. She wanted him to believe her and a large part of him did that night but hearing Dawson's words shook him. Their relationship was still knew and with all the drama his mother and Sarah would bring to Joey's life he couldn't help but think she did deserve better. That's why he had to fix it. He had to believe Joey not Dawson. They both knew his insecurities wouldn't go away in a day so he knew Dawson's words would be on his mind but as long as he had Joey and Lilly with him the good definitely outweighed the bad.
Pacey- You never needed me to defend you huh?
Joey- Well no but I love you for doing it and I hate you for doing it all at the same time
They smiled at each other and left Dawson's room he was still on the floor and Jack and Haley were outside his door listening and saw them exit with Pacey's arm around Joey
Jack- Lois Lane my ass Jo
Joey laughed
Pacey- Huh?
Joey- Nothing quick let's get back before Lilly scoffs all the pancakes I'm starving
Jack- Yeah I get that taking down that big forehead must have worked up an appetite being such hard work and all
Haley- You guys are weird. You okay Pacey?
Pacey- Yeah I still wanna kill him but I won't… this is so after school special
Haley- Yeah now all you have to do is dress up like Jesse from Full House and start singing Elvis songs
Joey- Don't tempt him
Pacey- Joey you know you love my voice
They laughed and soon were all back at the B'n'B with Lilly and her father singing Viva Las Vegas over breakfast and the rest of them moaning from the sound.
That night Pacey was working late at the station and he was all alone in his office doing paperwork everything was dark because all the officers had gone home except him. But as soon as he got out the next load of things to sign he head a knock at the door.
Doing you're homework I see? That's a change
Pacey looked up at the smiling woman and he couldn't believe it was her, she looked just like the last time he had seen her still beautiful but she looked happier contented like life lately had calmed her and helped her reach some sort of understanding. Whatever that understanding it is you reach when you're older that makes you realize that every things not as bad as you always thought it was.
Pacey- Well a lot have things have changed around here..as I recall last time I saw you, you were the one sitting behind the desk…What brings you here Tammy?
Tamara- You
Pacey- Me?
Tamara- Well let's just say a little birdy told me something
Pacey- What kind of birdy? The one that sings show tunes?
Tamara- Well that's a lot of people
Pacey- Not a lot of people I know
Tamara- Doug told me Pacey
Pacey- What is it with the gays and women with gossip? How did he even know?
Tamara- Look…
She sat down in the char opposite his desk and put her bag down
Tamara- I'm not going to let you do this for me
Pacey- Well that's not your choice is it?
Tamara- Pacey look you're an amazing guy I know that but do you realize what you're asking me to do here?
Pacey- Live a long happy life with your husband and child?
Tamara- Or live with the guilt of ruining someone's life who I care for very deeply
Pacey- So what? You're saying you'd be willing to go to jail for something that happened seven years ago? That was completely my fault
Tamara- You're fault?
Pacey- Yes
Tamara- Pacey as I recall I was the one who kissed you the first time and don't say that like I don't make my own decisions because I do and I made that one
Pacey- No that's not what I…What about your husband? You're son?
Tamara- Pacey I have a completely open and honest relationship with my husband and he knows what happened with us. Just because I was a dysfunctional mess back then doesn't mean I am now…Look Pacey I love my husband and I love my son more than life but I can't show my son that it's okay to let someone else be punished their whole lives for something that wasn't their fault I want my son to know that there are good people left in this world and this is the right thing to do so I'm going to do it. Tomorrow I'm turning myself in I just thought I'd let you know before I do it. I won't let my son grow up in a world where good people like you are punished and people like your mother get away with what they're doing it's not right Pacey and you know it. See you think it'd be easy for me to just go on living my life knowing I could have done something anytime I try to instill values in my son I'd be a hypocrite Pacey I need to do this okay?
Pacey- Tammy…
Tamara- I want to thank you Pacey for everything… you mean so much to me. I mean you made me believe I was worth something when I really had no hope of that ever being restored. You're an amazing man Pacey Witter don't ever let anyone make you believe anything different okay
Pacey nodded about to cry he wasn't gong to let her do this was he?. He didn't know anymore what was right or wrong. There had to be another way. She took his hand and smiled at him leaving him to his thoughts. He fully intended on stopping her the next morning
Pacey- Damn Doug
He said to the lonely room but then realized it wasn't so lonely
Doug- That was all her
Pacey- How did you even know?
Doug- Well I am a cop Pace…you were marrying a woman you can't stand quit a job you loved and oh yeah when I called mom she told me 'He's doing it for the family' When have you ever done anything for the family? I could tell straight away she was trying to turn you into dad and it was obvious what she was using against you because well it's the only thing she could use against you that would make you do all these things
Pacey- You're a pain in the ass
Doug- Yeah I love you too baby bro…So what are you going to do when you're free of her?
Free of her? Pacey hadn't even let his mind go there yet. Tamara was about to ruin her life for him he wasn't about to open the champagne bottle yet.
Pacey- Doug it's not time for the ribbon cutting just yet
Doug- You mean chain unlatching?
Pacey- Clever
Doug- Pacey she's doing this for her family one day when you're a father you'll understand
That was right Doug still didn't know Pacey was waiting to tell him in person and since Doug had gone to Italy that summer Joey was pregnant he had no idea Doug had been away almost a year before returning to Capeside and his parents had told him nothing because they were pretending Joey and Lilly didn't exist and if Pacey didn't know why should Doug plus they knew for certain Doug would try to find Pacey and tell him so they kept it form him.
Pacey- Uh Doug you might wanna sit down for this one
Doug- What is it?
He said while taking his seat
Pacey- …Well
But then his phone rang and he signaled to Doug to wait a sec he put whoever it was on speaker phone but when he did he suddenly regretted it
Lilly- Daddy! When are you coming home? Mommy wants to watch movies but me and Taco are waiting for you
Doug's eyes remained in their sockets waiting for Pacey to tell the little girl that she had the wrong number
Pacey- Sweetheart just watch the movie k I'll be back soon and then you can fill me in on what happened
Lilly- Okay Daddy guess what?
Pacey- What? Lilly
Lilly- Mommy's got a surprise for you
Pacey- Oh yeah?
Lilly- Yeah but she won't tell me what it is can you tell her to tell me when you get home?
Pacey- Depends what it is hunny
Lilly- Daaaaaady!
Pacey- What about I get you a present instead?
Lilly thought about this for a second realizing without realizing that she had made a profit
Lilly- That's better
Pacey- Yeah I thought so
Lilly- Come home soon I miss you
Pacey- I miss you too sweetheart
Lilly- Bye Daddy
Pacey- Bye Lilly
Lilly- Mwah
Lilly hung up the phone and had shocked her ten millionth person lately
Doug- What was that?
Pacey- Well that was Lilly
Doug- And Lilly is your..
Pacey- Daughter
Doug- What? When? How? Who?
Pacey- Okay breathe Doug its not the end of the world she's five years old she's smart she's beautiful and she's cheeky…
Doug- Well the last thing she got from you
Pacey- Well the rest is her mother
Doug- It's Joey
Pacey- What?
Doug- You always get that look when you talk about Joey except usually it accompanies a pout cause you're not with her….your with her aren't you?
Pacey- This cop thing is annoying
Doug- Oh please this is a brother thing…so?
Pacey- Yes she's mine and Joey's daughter and I couldn't say I've ever been happier well you know all this other stuff notwithstanding. Speaking of happiness guess who was exited to hear of your arrival
Doug- You have a five year old daughter and now we're talking about me?
Pacey- Yep now guess
Doug- I don't know is Gretchen in town?
Pacey- Nope next
Doug- Pacey would you just tell me
Pacey- Jack
Doug- Jack? As in your friend Jack?
Pacey- Yep apparently he thinks you're quite handsome which after several hours of throwing up I can now say with a straight face
Doug- He said that?
Pacey- Uh huh interested?
Doug- I'm straight Pacey
Pacey- Sure you are fine but guys like Jack just don't grow on trees
Doug- You're telling me
He said under his breath but Pacey caught it as he had gotten up off his seat to put his coat on
Pacey- Busted
He said smiling as he left the room smiling.
When he got home that night well his kind new home he found no one watching tv. They must have gotten tired he though and he was right he went to Lilly's room and she was in bed sleeping with Taco by her side. Pacey kissed her forehead like he always did and went to find Joey but she was asleep too in her bed with rose petals scattered all over it she was wearing the negligee she had bought and their where candles everywhere he smiled at the beautiful scene in front of him and saw Joey's beautiful hair fall what seemed like everywhere Pacey loved Joey's hair it was beautiful with what seemed like endless curls that went on forever and the now touched her body that was covered in goosebumps from the cold he striped as quickly as possible and made his way to the bed her picked her up and opened the covers placing her gently back on the bed and getting in beside her she curled up to him immediately in her sleep and soon they were both in the land of dreams where nothing could hurt them.
Pacey however hadn't realized that the house was empty Jack Haley and Jen had all gone out and weren't home yet and on the cold black road of bleaker st one of the people he cared for most lay lifeless on the road while the siren wailed as if trying to call him and Joey to attention from their peaceful slumber.
