Description: This is a post Joey/Pacey break-up fic. It is based five years after they parted ways that fateful night at prom. Two characters Ezra and Andrew are mine. Sort of a crossover fic though it's A/U and -A doesn't existed. I borrowed Ezra from Pretty little Liars, Emily might make an appearance. Not sure yet, if she does it will be as Pacey's ex.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the original storyline and Andrew, he's of my own imagination.
Author's Note: Review and I will happily update often.
Unexpected Run-ins:
Chapter#4
(Pacey's thoughts)
This night went straight to hell. Ezra's in bed with Joey, my ex. How the hell did this happen? What is she even doing here? How does Ezra even know Potter? Never once has he ever mentioned her to me. Though to be fair until tonight, Ezra had no clue that I even knew Joey. How would he? Guess it is probably a good thing that she wound up here tonight. Ezra more then hinted that her that Joey's ex was an abusive bastard toward her.
What I wouldn't give to find this guy and pound his face in. if I ever meet the guy I'm going to do just that. What guy in their right mind thinks that it is fine to lay his hands on a girl. Sure Joey is more than capable of taking care of herself, I know this. But for her jerk of an ex to hit her? That is not acceptable to me one bit. When I heard this, more than anything I wanted to take Joey in my arms and hold her close.
This said I'm not sure Joey would have let me. We're not exactly on the best of terms right now. We haven't been since I lashed out and dumped her in front of everyone at our senior prom. That is something I regret to this day. Joey was never going to leave me for Dawson. But at the time, I figured that it was only a matter of time before she realized she had made a mistake in choosing me. Hell, I had all but convinced myself that I wasn't good enough nor did I deserve Joey.
Seeing her in Dawson's arms and dancing, knowing he had somehow managed to make her smile. It slowly ate away at me all night until I finally snapped. Within a matter of seconds I unleashed just about every doubt and insecurity I had left unspoken out on Joey. She took off crying and things haven't been the same between the two of us since. Letting Joey go was the stupidest decision I ever could have made.
More then anything I wish that I hadn't. Not a day goes by that I'm reminded of my mistake. None of the girls that I have been with since Potter could ever compare to her. Last Christmas, I nearly had a second shot with her. We would probably be together right now if I hadn't acted on an impulse and slept with Joey. Unfortunately, I did. At the time I wasn't exactly single. To this day Emily will not forgive me.
I'm not all that sure that I blame her though. To find out a month or so later that I had cheated on her, that must have hurt like hell. We may not have dated more then four months but none of that matters. When Joey found out, she was livid with me. We got into a huge fight and that was the last I saw or spoke to her. Now Joey shows up tonight and with Ezra no less. Before I had known he'd been talking about Joey, I was happy for Ezra. The guy had finally found a girl that he was into.
While, yes he had ultimately been friend-zoned there wasn't a doubt in my mind Ezra would with this girl over in time. Now that I know said girl is Joey, the thought of him nearly falling for her has me blind with jealousy. It is increasingly difficult not to clock Ezra in the jaw, I have all but lost my restraint. Fine, so maybe I am overreacting a tiny bit. Now that he knows Joey's my ex, Ezra would never make a move on her.
That's not to say Potter wouldn't make one on him just to get under my skin. All I can do is hope she won't. Last thing I want is to have to knock Ezra out. What I wouldn't do to be able to go in his room, ask him to leave and lie beside Joey. I miss having her in my arms, kissing and waking up beside her. Those days are all in the past though. Joey has made it more then clear she wants nothing to do with me. Still I can't help wanting to beg for her forgiveness. If Joey would only give me a shot, I would show her how sorry I am for causing her all the pain that I have. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt Joey...I love her. What kills me is that I never stopped loving her and probably never will. … (End Pacey's thoughts)
