"Morning to you too Pacey." He said yawning at the same
time.
"Drue I need to borrow your car. Mines in for repairs and I
need to go to Boston."
"Oh right, to see Joey I guess?" Drue, still yawning,
sat back in on in his living room.
"How'd you know? Oh I guess Jen must have told you. So can I
borrow it?"
"Yes Jen told me this morning. Really early this morning.
Which is why I'm still tired. And you know I'd love to lend you
my car but like yours Pacey Witter it too needs repairs."
Drue yawned once again. "But if you find away of getting
there please let me know as I'd like to go with to thank Miss
Lindley for the early wake up call."
"Sure yeah whatever. I'm going to Doug's." Pacey yelled
as he walked out the door.
He didn't bother knocking at Doug's door. He was always up early.
He'd also calmed down now. He realized he was a bit frantic at
Drue's.
"Morning Deputy Douggie. May I please borrow your car as I
need to make a trip to Boston and mine and Drue's are in for
repairs." He asked as nicely as he could. If he went in
there yelling there's be no chance.
Doug was eating breakfast on the sofa. "Pacey I'm not Deputy
anymore." He'd taken over his dad position in the police
when he had retired. "And you may borrow my car as long as I
have it back by 10."
"Thanks Deputy!" He grabbed the keys and ran before
Doug had anytime to change his mine.
15 minutes later he was back at Drue's yelling at him to get
ready. He heard Drue muttering something about not having enough
time to get ready. Pacey just reminded him that if he wanted to
see Jen he'd have to hurry up. That made Drue move. Pacey
wondered why Drue was so desperate to see her. He hadn't spoke
about since moving back and they didn't seem to get on that well
in high school.
"About time." He announced as Drue came running down
the stairs.
"Shut it Witter. People should not be up this early on a
Sunday. So you got the car? But till when?"
"Well Doug wants it back by 10. He never told me what day
though." He and Drue laughed and climb in. Pacey driving and
Drue in the passenger seat.
Joey was lying face up on her sofa, Jack was in the kitchen and
Jen was sitting opposite her.
"Did I do the right thing Jen?" She asked rolling on to
her side to face her.
"Honestly Jo I don't know. You probably did. It'll give you
time to think and clear your head. Then when you're ready you can
ring him."
"Or maybe it just seems like I'm running way when things got
hard." She thought out loud. Jack came from the kitchen
holding 3 cans of beer and videos.
"To cheer you up we're going to spend the afternoon drinking
and watching videos." Jack smiled and handed out the cans.
Jen smiled and moved long the sofa so Jack could sit. Joey smiled
too, even though she wasn't smiling inside.
About 4 films and a lot of cans of beer later there was a knock
at the door. Joey got up to answer but fell back down on to her
sofa. Her and Jen burst out laughing so Jack got up to answer the
door. He tried to walk over there in a straight but was
unsuccessful. Eventually he opened the door.
"Pacey! Drue! Great to see you! Come in!" he said
happily. It was obvious to them he'd been drinking. That they all
had. AS soon as Joey heard Jack yell Pacey's name she stopped
laughing. Jen did the same when she heard Drue's. They both stood
up.
