Joey looked at the rain droplets make their way down the window pane. The months had seemed to just fly by, well, she had been busy, so she hadn't noticed the time flying. They had had papers to sign, preparations to make, and letters to write. Her mother had passed away from cancer. It had been 2 weeks after her 12th birthday.
"Hey mom" Joey greeted her mom that night before going to bed.
"Hey sweetheart" Lillian looked at her daughter, she knew her time was coming soon and was glad to have the chance to talk to her favorite daughter before passing away.
"How have you been feeling lately? " Joey asked her mother warily.
"I- I- don't think I'm going to make it Joey." she replied with tears in her eyes .
"Mom don't say that, you're going to live, you are.." Joey said trying to convince her mother of that too.
"Joey, I'm going to be gone soon and just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. That I love you, and that no matter what any person says, you are never lesser than them." she said smiling although tears were streaming down her face.
"Mom don't say that, you're gonna' live." Joey pleaded with her mother, her own tears pushing their way forth.
"Joey, I'm glad that you have as good as friends as Pacey and Dawson to help you through the aftermath of what's going to happen. I love you Joey." She said as she started to lean back against the pillow on her bed.
"Mom, mom no, wake up mom.... WAKE UP." Joey hugged her mother as her cries reached her sister. Bessie came running in.
"What happened?" she looked at her mother. " Did she- is she?" Bessie had to hold her own cries back by covering her mouth with the palm of her hand. She ran out of the room, leaving a screaming Joey clutching at her lost mother.
"MOM NO... COME BACK MOM, NOOOOOOOO." Her cries wailed through the house. They practically had the use a crowbar to get Joey away from her mother long enough to put her in the ambulance, and drive her away. But no one went to comfort the crying girl who was sitting on the house steps, that was until a brown-haired kid came running up the drive....
"Joey??" He cried out franticly, pushing his way past the paramedics. "Joey?" He spotted her and ran over to her and pulled her into a comforting hug. He proceeded to tell her comforting words..
"It'll be okay Joey, you'll see, Joey It'll be okay..." his voice softened immensely while he continued to comfort her. He had his own tears in his eyes. Joey replied so softly, Pacey almost missed it.
"Thank you Pacey, thank you..." her voice trailed off as sobs overtook her once again. He rocked her back and forth. It would've made anyone cry, seeing the tenderness and care Pacey had shown to Joey, but no one had really paid attention to the crying young girl and the brown-haired boy.
Joey smiled slightly remembering that scene. When she had asked Pacey how he had known about her mother's death so quickly, he told her that he had heard it on his father's police radio, and had run over as quickly as possible. He can be so sweet and caring sometimes...she thought , But then again, he can also be super annoying too. After that Dawson had spent a lot of time with her, almost monopolizing her time trying to comfort her.... While it did help a bit, sometimes she just wanted to be alone.... She had hardly ever seen Pacey, sometimes at lunch or passing him in the hallways. She was sad that she had not talked to him as much, considering what he had done for her that first day. Well maybe we'll see each other this summer, I mean Dawson is going to Florida again this summer.
The door slammed shut, Joey winced, that could mean only one thing....Daddy's home... she sighed and rolled her eyes upward. What I wouldn't give.....she thought, then chuckled lightly. Well, better get up and face the firing squad, gee I wonder what it will be this time, hmm.. the grades lecture or the room lecture... oh how about one I haven't heard in a while, the be nice to your sister lecture...She got up and went downstairs.
"Hey dad." she said walking up from behind him.
"Ahhhhh, don't sneak up on my like that, I could've hit you." Joey had to stifle a laugh, like that would've stopped you.
"Sorry." she said, not really sorry at all. Her father just looked at her, then went over to the cookie jar, pulled out some money and a plastic bag of something Joey couldn't identify, and turned around.
"I'll be back in 2 days, try no to destroy the house." He said as he left Joey standing there.
But he wouldn't be returning in two days, he wouldn't be returning at all........

What should happen, an exciting plot twist or should I just let him get caught by the police? FEEDBACK, MUST HAVE FEEDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure about suicide anymore, I'd like to thank EVERYONE who replied.. now I'm thinking of a major plot twist, like going into some fantasy thing, with a crossover in Harry Potter, don't ask, the last names thing is just too much of a pull for me, but while doing that... I would continue on the serious route it's on right now, so what should I do, split, or stay on one track????
