"I'm good. Really good. How about yourself?" He said
smiling back at her. It was obvious to everyone standing around
them that they were happy to see each other. Jen walked over to
Drue.
"Hey. So fill me in on everything." He told her how 3
years ago he returned to Capeside to run the Yacht Club, how he
and Pacey had become friends.
"So what you doing with you life Lindley?"
"I own a small clothes shop in Boston with Jack. We're doing
really well actually." She said with a smile. "I can't
believe I actually miss him," she thought to herself. They'd
never gotten on that great in high school, well not before he
saved her life on the night of the prom. That wasn't the best of
nights thinking about it. She glanced around it was packed with
most people from high school. Most of who they never really
talked to. Mainly cheerleaders and people. "God I was a
cheerleader!" She thought. By this time Joey was talking to
Dawson. They were talking about what they were doing and why they'd
grown apart. She completely understood that making movies was
time consuming. After all they'd made quite a few when they were
younger. She wandered over to talk to Andie. After a short time
Pacey came over holding two glasses of wine. He handed one to
Andie and one to Joey. He looked at Andie. She knew it meant he
wanted to talk to Joey alone.
"I'm just going to catch up with Dawson. Talk to you soon Jo"
"So, Jo, what you doing with yourself?"
"Erm I'm a art teacher back in Boston. How about you?"
With a grin he said, "I'm a teacher here. I mainly teach
english. Actually Lillian and Alexander are a couple of my
students. He's a really smart kid. Just like his aunt is."
Joey brushed her hair behind her ear. She could feel him looking
at her.
"So erm why'd you move back to Capeside?"
"I don't know really, I guess I missed it in a strange kind
of way."
"Yeah I know what you mean. When I was here all I wanted to
do was leave but now I miss everything about it. Especially the
bed and breakfast, Bessie and Bodie. I still keep in touch with
them though"
"Yeah I see them every weekend. I go do odd jobs for them.
But end up playing Playstation 4 games with Alex. What can I say
I'm a big kid at heart." He grinned.
"You haven't changed then." She smiled back at him.
Only an hour later they're all sitting around a large round table,
laughing and talking like they spoke and saw each other every day.
A slow started playing. Everyone else was dancing. Drue stood up
and held out his hand to Jen. "Care to dance?" Jen took
his hand and let him lead them to the floor.
"Last time we were dancing like this was the night I saved
you life if I remember correctly."
"Your never going to let me for get that are you?" she
replied with a grin.
He pauses, "Nope." They both and carry on dancing. Jack,
Andie, Joey, Dawson and Pacey are watching them. Jack gets up,
"Come on Andie, we might as well dance too." Andie got
up and followed him. Pacey got up and walked over to Joey. "Would
you like to dance?" She smiled slightly. "Yeah."
And followed him to the center of the dance floor.
He took one of her hands into his and put the other round her
waist. She placed her free hand on his shoulder. A silver
bracelet slipped down her wrist.
"You mom's bracelet."
"Yeah how'd you" She remember the night of the
anti prom. "You remember everything," she said in
an almost whisper.
"Even after all this time." He whispered back. They
carried on down slowly, never losing eye contact.
Dawson was watching them from the table. If this was happening 10
years ago he would be so hurt right now. But having been away
from her so long he'd managed to get over her. He glanced round
everyone else.
"Dawson Leery? Is that you?" He heard a voice behind
him. He turned to see Gretchen standing in the doorway.
