~*~Flowers In The Attic~*~
part one:lean on me
Pacey Witter sat on the edge of the dock,feet dangling he laid back placing his hands under
his head.
"God would you look at that sky? There's gotta be a million stars out there"
"Perfect night for star gazing" Andie replied from her spot laying next to him.
"That it is"
Pacey drew in a deep breath,yawning.
He turned to Andie slightly,and looked her in the eyes.
"I think it's great were friends,you know you really mean alot to me Andie"
Andie smiled "You mean alot to me too Pace"
Pacey returned the look.
Andie knew how she felt.
She had never stopped feeling it.
She loved Pacey like she always did and that was never going to change.
But on the other hand there was nothing she could do about it either.
She sighed and started to gather up her coat and things from the dock quickly.
"I better get home Pace,thanks for the night though"
"Anytime McPhee" Pacey replied with a smile
"Actually I better get going too,I don't want Douggie to worry"
Andie laughed
"Okay see you tomorrow at school"
"Bye" Pacey yelled as he walked to his truck.
Andie walked towards her Sabb,which was on the other side of the street.
Suddenly she felt faint.She stumbled grabbing on to her car door handle.
Pacey noticed and ran over quickly.
"You okay Andie?"
"Oh yeah I'm fine,just a klutz you know!" Andie replied laughing.
Pacey laughed,still a little unsure
"Okay,be careful"
"I will" Andie said getting into her car.
She drove home and parked in the driveway.
"Wow that was weird" she said to herself as she dug through her purse for her house keys.
She walked up the walkway and opened the front door.
Then locked it behind her.
"Anybody home?" Andie yelled into the house
Nobody answered.
"Hmm" Andie talked to herself
"Well it's around midnight so I wonder where Jack is?"
She walked into the kitchen and got a water bottle out of the fridge.
Then she noticed the note taped to the fridge.
~
Staying at Jen's overnight....
See you tomorrow at school.
Love,Jack

Andie smiled and went into the living room to lay down on the couch.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Who would come over at this time?" Andie asked herself as she peered through the blinds.
Andie went to the door and opened it slowly,cautiously keeping one foot behind it just incase.
"Pacey!?" she said suprised.
"Hey Andie.I just came over to see if your alright..I mean I couldn't stop worrying after you fell
in the street"
"Oh..I'm okay Pace,I just don't know what's with me lately"
"Lately?"
"Yeah for the past couple of days I've been getting dizzy and sick but I'm sure it's just the flu or something"
"Really..Well I know this is gonna sound weird but I would feel ALOT better if I could just..stay over and make sure your alright..."
Pacey paused looking into Andie's eyes.
Andie hesitated,biting her lip,unsure
"Okay..I guess it would be okay"
"Great.I wont be any bother I'll just sleep right here on your couch"
"Oh no you won't" Andie replied quickly
"That couch is really uncomfortable you can sleep in Jack's room,he wont mind,he's at Jens for the night"
"Okay,sure" Pacey replied smiling
"Thanks"
"No problem at all"
Andie led Pacey upstairs to Jack's room.
"Okay if you need anything you know where to reach me" Andie said with a little laugh.
"Thanks Andie..thanks for everything"
"No thank you Pacey for caring so much about me"
Pacey smiled
"Well I can't help it McPhee,your all alone here,and I care about you"
"I care about you too Pace,thanks"
Andie smiled back and slowly closed the door.
Once in her room Andie slipped on her pajama's,then brushed her hair up into a high ponytail,clipping up the lose ends.
She was just brushing her teeth when Pacey came in.
"Hey Pacey..what's the matter?"
"Just checking in on ya" Pacey replied smiling
"How are you feeling?"
"Good..well I do feel a bit woozy but I have all day so.. nothing new"
"Do you want me to get you anything..water,medicine,snack?" Pacey asked anxiously.
"No thanks,I think I just need some sleep"
"Oh okay"
"You aren't still worried are you?"
"Yeah,I think..if it's okay with you that is..can I stay in here tonight?"
Andie eye's widened
"Uhhh I don't know...what do you mean exactly Pacey?"
"I mean strickly platonic,A Joey/Dawson kinda thing"Pacey replied with a laugh.
Andie sighed with relief "Oh okay"
Pacey smiled and climbed into bed next to her.
"goodnight" Andie said smiling back
"goodnight" Pacey replied kissing her forehead.Then he closed his eyes.
Andie couldn't sleep.
She keep thinking about Pacey's weird behavior and she still felt sick.
Suddenly she lept from the bed and ran to the bathroom.
Pacey woke up and looked around.
Then he heard Andie in the bathroom.
"Are you sick Andie?" Pacey yelled throwing off his covers
"Yeah Pacey just a stomach thing don't worry,just go back to sleep"
Lifting his legs out,Pacey got up and went into the bathroom to see if Andie was okay.
Andie washed up and looked in the mirror at her pale complexion.
"God what's wrong with me?" she said sadly
Pacey rubbed her back
"Maybe you should go to the hospital..I'll take you"
"No thats okay Pacey I'm sure it's just....the flu" Andie said trying to convince herself more than anyone.
Crawling back into bed Andie turned her back to Pacey and wiped the tears falling down her cheek off.
Pacey followed behind,climbing back into his side.
Feeling Andie's elbow graze his back he turned his head slightly.
In the pale moonlight Andie reached for a tissue off the beside stand.
Pacey swallowed hard,feeling nervous,and worried about Andie.
"Okay but if you get sick again tonight we're definatly going to the hospital and I won't take no for an answer"
"You got it" Andie replied closing her eyes.
Pacey stared at Andie and blinked back tears,looking at her frail,ghostlike figure beside him was making his heart race with fear.
Settling onto his side he just laid there watching her sleep all night.
Listened to the gentle rythum of her breathing as her chest rose and fell.
