Author's note: sorry this is such a short chapter, but it's only Pacey thoughts, chapter like these will be shortened.

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: So, I know this has gotten much attention but I'm just not ready to throw this story away. Sorry about the spelling errors I overlooked in the first few chapters, I will make sure to proof read more attentively. If anyone is reading this, I hope you will enjoy it. This is one of my first times writing a crossover and I know I'm not great at it but I hope someone will at least give it a chance...

Unexpected Run-ins:

Chapter#5

(Ezra's pov)

"...Sorry that I all but dragged you into the room Ezra.", apologizes Joey quietly before peeking up at me from under the covers. She doesn't need to explain her actions, I'm not an idiot. I know that it wasn't me she was angry with, it was Pacey. Just my luck, I finally start to fall for a girl only for her to be an ex of my best friend. There is no way that I can pursue Joey now, Pacey would murder me.

" It's alright Jo, really. I know I'm not the one you were frustrated with.", I confide with a sleepy smile. This seems to comfort Joey a great deal. Startled when she lays her head on my chest, I reluctantly wrap her in my arms. The feel of her skin against mine is enough to send me over the edge. Pacey must be kicking himself for breaking up with Joey all those years ago. If I were him, I'd be doing the same exact thing. This girl is beautiful.

" Of all the guys, Pacey had to be your roommate?", states Joey with an irritated breath. Risking a glance down at her, I notice tears welling up in her eyes. Oh, shit. Joey is crying? Great, what the hell am I supposed to do now? I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm supposed to do. Clearly Joey is upset. I'm not sure why though. It is obvious their parting ways all those years ago was far from mutual. Pacey must have really crushed Joey. Why would he ever want to break her heart?

" Jo...what happened between the two of you?", I find myself wondering aloud. It is a stupid question, I know. But it is one I can't help but ask all the same. The way Pacey kept looking at Joey, it's easy to see he was in love with her at one time. Part of me thinks that he still may be. If this is the case why did he ever let Joey go to begin with? Hell, if I had a girl like her? I would do just about anything to keep her by my side always.

Burying her face into my side, tears fall from Joey's eyes onto my chest as she softly mumbles," No offense Ezra, but that isn't exactly a memory that I would like to revisit tonight."

With a hesitant nod of my head, I rub Joey's back gently in attempts to comfort her," You're right, sorry that I asked Jo. Please don't cry though, I hate seeing you so distraught and upset."

" Would you do me a favor Ezra?", inquires Joey with a hand to my chest. Not knowing what to say, I simply nod my head. I'm not sure what it is Joey wants, but I have never been able to tell her no. Why should tonight be any different? This girl kills me. Does Joey have any idea what she does to me on a daily basis? It takes nearly all my restraint not to kiss her until her knees go weak.

" What's that Joey?", I find myself asking without hesitation. Watching helplessly as Joey climb into my arms, against my better judgment I allow her to wrap herself in them. Man, I must be dense. If Pacey were to walk in right now, I would be dead within seconds. He has to know that I would never swoop in on Joey. Not now that I know those two used to be a thing. Pacey is way too good of a friend, I would never stoop that low.

" Please hold me tonight?", pleads Joey before placing soft kisses all over my chest and neck. Oh, crap. I'm a goner. What the hell am I supposed to do? Was it not only a few weeks ago Joey made it clear that she wasn't looking for another guy? Her ex treated her like shit, at one point I found myself all but begging her to leave him and consider giving me a chance to make her happy. Now when Joey finally has left him, I'm no longer able to make a move on her. This said, it hasn't exactly stopped Joey from making one on me. What if she wants to sleep with me? I'm not all that certain I would be able to turn her away.

"...Joey, this is wrong. You know it is and so do I...please. The last thing I want is for us to do something we'll both come to regret.", I all but plead as Joey's lips slowly make their way up my jawline. Thankfully my plea hasn't gone unnoticed and I let out a relieve breath when her lips abandon their descent toward mine. That was close, but man I'm such an idiot. Any other night, I would have let Joey have her way with me. But I could never live with myself knowing that I slept with my best friend's ex while he was in the next room no less.

Nudging her cheek against my chest once more, Joey hugs me close," I'm sorry Ezra, it just...hurts. You know?"

Placing a friendly peck on Joey's forehead once more, I close my eyes with content," Yeah, I know that it does Joey. But sleeping with me or any other guy won't solve anything. Come on, go to sleep Jo."

" Guess you're right, I don't know many guys who would turn a vulnerable girl down. You're a true friend Ezra, not only to me but Pacey as well...thanks. Goodnight Ezra.", murmurs Joey in a mere whisper before closing her eyes tiredly. Before long I hear her breathing slow and smile in content when I realize she's fallen fast asleep against me. Man, I could get used to this. While I know that it will never last, that doesn't mean that I won't enjoy the feel of Joey in my arms while it does. Pacey doesn't know how much I despise him right now. If Joey weren't his ex, there's not a doubt in my mind that I would have slept with her tonight. God, I hate how loyal of a friend I am at times. …
