Category: Other- Friendship
Rating: PG-13
Distribution: Capeside Diaries, fanfiction.net, AdultCreekFic, Capeside Pals, Finnatics, my own personal website, and anywhere else, as long as you ask first. ;)
Dedication: To anyone who missed their graduation and everything that is involved- grad night, prom, and the actual ceremony. I regret missing it all, although I got no choice in the matter.
Summary: Finally caught up on all the episodes and after Gretchen's yearbook entry, I got sentimental, mushy and thought I had to come up with this before anyone else did. I'm sure someone else has already come up with this idea, but oh well.Each part is that person's entries in everyone else's yearbooks.
Spoilers: See Season 4, basically.
Andie, You're actually going to be back in just a few days. You've been really missed around here and there is so much to get you updated on, both good and bad. With all this closure going on, I feel this need to say that I'm sorry to you. Ever since you came to Capeside we never really got close and then you went through a lot of personal things and I never got involved. I'm not sure if you could tell, but for the longest time I was so self- involved in my own life that I didn't see anything outside of my circle. I'd like to think that I've grown some since then, so I want you to know that I am sorry, because you're a great person, you're also incredibly smart, and I think that you reformed Pacey, which has to be the biggest thing anyone could do. You have touched people's lives, while struggling with your own problems and that takes a lot of strength. I hope that we stay in touch and get to know each other better while in college.
Dawson P.S. Do you know what I just realized? We're the only two people who have never hooked up.LOL
Jen, So this is it. In a few days we're going to graduate and go off to our respective colleges- you in Boston and I in California. I'm going to be so far away from all of you and I still can't comprehend it. Three years we've known each other and for the first one all I did was obsess over you. ;) Then when I finally got you, I ran scared at the first sign of problems and from that moment on our relationship went from friends to potentially more than that, and then friends again. I think now that we were always suited to be friends. You were the one who delivered the bad news that Pacey and Joey had gotten together and then you were there when they went out to sea. You stayed with me, consoled me, and were my friend in the best and the worst times. For that, I can never thank you enough. You've grown so much since that first time I met you. And I know that last sentence sounded like I was your grandmother, but, honestly, you have. You've beaten the drugs, alcohol, and partying; just promise me you won't get back into them while in college. I'm really glad that you're going to have Jack with you through the transition and I only wish that I could be there too. You are one of my best friends, Jen and if you ever need anything- I'll be there in a moment's notice.
Love, Dawson
Jack, How did you go from this new guy who stole my girlfriend and I hated to the guy who is now everyone's best friend? Seriously, Jack, you coming to Capeside really mixed things up for the circle of friends that we had and I realize now it was in a good way. I finally woke up and saw the light about Joey and I, in terms of our relationship. I think you woke her up also. I saw this light in her that I'd never seen before after she met you. When you came out of the closet, all I could think of was that I could never be that brave. You went through so much just to live your life for the way you wanted. I realize it's going to be a never-ending battle, but you've jumped through a lot of the large ones. The only thing that you have to remember is that you're going to have all your friends around you while doing it. We may not all be there in body, but always in spirit, and always a phone call away. I can't wait to see what you end up doing as a profession- all of us have a bet going, mine is that you'll be a child psychologist. ;)
Your friend, Dawson
Joey, I've been sitting here for almost an hour trying to decide what to write. I'll have you know that it didn't take me nearly that long for anyone else's, but then, I haven't signed Pacey's yet. There are so many things that I could say, but it would probably fill this whole book and I'm going to have plenty of emails and letter writing to keep me busy once were in college. For 15 years, Joey, you were everything to me. I was stupid not to see the very thing that was in front of my face the whole time, though. I jumped at it too late but when it happened.it was wonderful, Joey. I have to make sure that you know that, because it was something that I'm never going to forget. You were my first love and for so long I thought we were soul mates. That's not the case anymore and I've come to accept that. Yes, I'm sad about it at times, but the one thing I never want to lose is my best friend. I don't want to lose movie nights, the ruins, and the swing set that we used to play on. Wherever we go, I want us to hold on to that. We are going to be so far away, but I want you to know that no matter how far apart we are, that I'll be there for you. No matter what guy you have in your life, whether he breaks your heart or you end up falling in love and getting married, I'll be there for you. Basically.I think you get the picture. For my entire life, I've loved you in one way or another, so let me just end this by saying right now- I love you, Joey.
Your best friend, Dawson
Pacey, I can't believe this day has finally come. I know things seem really uncertain right now for you, but I hope that won't deter you from whatever it is that you want to go after. College isn't for everyone, Pacey, and I'm not just saying that because you didn't get in. You have to forget about what your father has said about you all these years and remember all the friends that you have around you. We've been through so many things that I can't even mention them all now, but remember the fort? That fort was our hidden hideaway from the world. I thought of you as my brother then, Pacey, and I still do. Just like brothers, we fight, we make up, and then we fight again, but the most important part is that we're always there for each other. You've got Joey and she loves you. I think, more than she's loved anyone in her life. Don't let her go she's too good of a thing to pass on. She's not the only one who thinks you can do great things, either. All of us care about you and worry about you at the same time. You've changed so much since our freshmen year of high school.do you realize that? At one time you wouldn't have even cared if you'd gotten into college, which shows how you're taking responsibility for things. It doesn't matter if it happened to late, because nothing in life is too late, as long as you don't give up. So, that's my advice, Pacey- Never give up. Don't give up on your dreams, no matter how unreachable they are.
Your best friend, D
