The Reunion
About another 3 weeks later
everyone was in Capeside. Jack, Andie and Emma were staying at
their dads as he was away on business. Jen was at Drue's. Joey
was staying at Pacey's. They meet up every night, taking it in
turns to whose house they go. It was a nice night so they went to
Pacey's as his was near to the water. Him and Joey sat outside
waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Joey?"
"Yeah?"
"No it don't matter."
"Come on tell me." Joey turned around. He looked quiet
serious. "What's up?"
"I was just thinking, I know it's non of my business, but
erm has there been anyone before me? You know like someone
serious?"
"You're right it's non of your business if I've had a
another serious relationship." Joey snapped.
"I didn't mean to make you mad I was just wondering. I mean
I'd tell you."
"Just because you'd tell me does not mean I have to tell you.
Can we drop it now?"
Pacey nodded. He got up and walked inside. Joey sighed. She
couldn't understand why she had snapped at him. She got up to go
apologize just as the others arrived. Well all except Andie.
"Andie decided to stay home. Emma was tired and didn't feel
too well." Jack explained. "Where's Pace?"
"Erm he went in. he got abit cold." She had to make
something up. She couldn't say they had a small disagreement.
Drue and Jen walked up handed in hand. They followed Jack and
Joey inside. Once inside they could sense something was wrong.
Joey and Pacey weren't sitting together. They were usually curled
up together. Jen noticed this and mouthed to Jack to go. Jack
understood.
"I know I haven't been here long but I think I might go see
how Emma is." He got up and headed towards the door. "Cya
all soon."
Next Drue motioned to Jen they should go.
"Erm Jen, we should go actually. There's that film you
wanted to rent tonight. If we stay longer the store will be
closed." He lied, badly
"Oh yeah!" Jen acted like she just remembered. "Sorry
you two. We'll see you tomorrow ok?"
Pacey nodded. Joey smiled, "Cya."
Once they'd left Joey and Pacey sat in silence. A few minutes
later Joey spoke.
"There was one guy. About 3 years. We didn't last more than
18 months. We got on really well. Everyone thought we'd be
together forever. But then things got bad. He started working
later. I had early mornings. When we did eventually see each
together all we'd do was fight. In the end I ended things."
Pacey walked over to her. He put his arm around her.
"I'm sorry Jo, I didn't mean to upset you. I was just
curious."
"So are you going to tell me?"
He smiled, "There was one girl. She was great. We went out
for almost 3 years. Then she decided to liked the look of the guy
living across the road from me. One day she was there. The next
she was gone. I wasn't too upset really. I was thinking of ending
things anyway." He smiled at her. She smiled back. She
started to yawn.
"Time for bed?" Pacey asked. Joey nodded. They headed
off to Pacey's room.
