True Love Renewed

Chapter 7: A New Love??

November 1, 2001

In sunny California Dawson Leery was sitting at his computer trying to have two separate conversations at the same time. It was getting pretty difficult considering that one slip up could cost the two people he was talking to some pretty tough times.

Jpotter: dawson, you will never believe what happened last night.

Dleery: oh yeah, something good or something bad?

Jpotter: I haven't decided that yet. Drue kissed me. And I kissed him back. It was so weird.

Dleery: so you two are a couple now?

Jpotter: I don't know yet. We didn't really talk about that.

Dleery: I see. Well what do you want?

Jpotter: I don't know. I mean I like him and I have fun with him…

Dleery: but?

Jpotter: but, he's not pacey. I mean, am I crazy to still be thinking about him at all?

Dleery: no, you're not crazy. You were in love with him and it's taking time to get over him. That's all. Don't worry, it will happen soon.

Jpotter: I know, but it's like my heart knows that he will be back and it wants to wait for him.

Dleery: joey, you have to get over him. He's not coming back.

Jpotter: I know, but I miss him. I miss looking into his eyes and knowing without words what he's thinking. Even when he wanted to hide something, it was his eyes that gave him away.

Dleery: I know. Just give it time. I hate to have to do this, but I have to run. I'll talk to you later. I miss you. Bye.

Jpotter: I miss you too. Talk to you later. bye.

Pwitter: have I ever mentioned how much Halloween sucks? After thanksgiving it is my least favorite holiday.

Dleery: oh yeah? And why is that?

Pwitter: well you know that great party I was going to last night?

Dleery: yeah, what's wrong? Not as good as you thought it would be?

Pwitter: no it was great. Until I had the pleasure of watching joey making out with drue valentine on the balcony.

Dleery: you were at the same party as joey?

Pwitter: yes I was.

Dleery: did she see you?

Pwitter: no, I left before she came back inside.

Dleery: oh.

Pwitter: that's all you can say?

Dleery: what computer are you using right now.

Pwitter: I'm in the lab at Worthington, why?

Dleery: what if joey is there.

Pwitter: no, she's in class right now.

Dleery: no, her class was cancelled.

Pwitter: what? I've gotta go. I'll talk to you later.

Dleery: yeah, later.

Joey signed off the computer and gathered her stuff to walk back to her dorm room. She still couldn't believe what had happened last night. She walked up to the elevator just as it was getting ready to close. She could see that there was somebody standing in it so she stuck her hand between the doors as she asked, "Could you hold the elevator please? Didn't you see me coming?" She looked up to get a glance at the jerk who was going to take the elevator and leave without her and found herself staring into the blue eyes that she used to be able to read so well.

"Pacey?"

"Hello, Jo."
