Bessie sat on one side of Joey while Dawson sat on the other. Both held a hand in their own hand. Bessie was crying and begging for Joey to wake up while Dawson sat motionless. He didn't know what to say. He was scared that if he opened his mouth, he would scream and not be able to stop.
"I can't take this anymore." Bessie suddenly said.
Dawson looked up at her vacantly. She did look exhausted.
"If you want to go take a break, I'll stay here for a while." Dawson said, his voice in a monotone.
Bessie attempted to smile at Dawson as she stood up.
"Thanks. You'll need some rest soon." she said then left the room.
After a few moments of quiet, the door to Joey's private room was pushed open and Pacey stuck his head around the corner.
"Mind if I come in?" Pacey asked quietly.
Dawson continued to look at Joey as he shrugged his shoulders. Pacey entered the room and sat in the seat Bessie had just vacated. He picked up Joey's hand and kissed it.
"Hey, Jo." Pacey said, trying to speak normally. "When are ya getting out of here? We're all waiting."
After getting no response Pacey spoke again.
"I'll never forget that machine you hit. It said you're tough. So come on Jo, prove it!" Pacey said.
Tears started forming in Pacey's eyes as he stared at Joey.
"She looks so peaceful." he said out loud. "She looks just like she's sleeping."
Pacey pushed a strand of long dark hair off Joey's face.
"She looks like an angel. A sleeping, peaceful angel." Pacey whispered.
Dawson suddenly looked up at Pacey. There was a strange glint in Pacey's eyes that Dawson didn't like.
"Are you in love with her?" Dawson suddenly asked.
Pacey had a startled look on his face as he met Dawson's eyes.
"Why would you say that?" he asked, trying to remain calm.
"Are you in love with her?" Dawson repeated.
Pacey said nervously, "Let's discuss this later. Joey needs our support at the moment."
Dawson stood up angrily. "Don't tell me what Joey needs. I'm her soul mate. I know what she needs. And right now neither of us need you."
Pacey's face turned red as he faced Dawson.
"I can't help how I feel!" Pacey blurted out. "And neither can Joey."
Dawson and Pacey stood face to face as Pacey wished he could take back his last sentence.
"What do you mean?" Dawson asked evenly.
Pacey gulped as he realised there was no way to get out of this one.
Me and my big mouth, he thought to himself.
"Joey and I just realised a couple of weeks ago that we have feelings for each other. We didn't say anything because we'd decided not to do anything about them."
Dawson's face went bright red as he stormed around the bed to Pacey. He grabbed Pacey's collar.
"Liar!" he shouted.
Pacey tried to extract himself from Dawson's grasp as a couple of doctors ran into the room.
"Excuse me but this is not on." one of the doctors exclaimed. "Please leave the room."
Dawson ignored the doctors as he continued staring at Pacey. The bigger doctor grabbed Dawson by the shoulders and dragged him out of the room. Pacey followed quietly.
Once out in the corridor, Dawson confronted Pacey again.
"You bastard, you liar!" he yelled.
Pacey pushed Dawson out of his face. "Let's discuss this later. Now isn't the time or place."
Dawson continued glaring at Pacey until Pacey could stand it no longer. He left the waiting room & headed down the hallway.
"Pacey!" a voice called out from behind him.
Pacey turned around to see Andie following him. Pacey slowed down for her to catch up.
"What's up McPhee?" he asked.
"What happened back there?" she asked with concern. "Dawson's flipping out."
Pacey was sick of holding back at the expense of everyone else's feelings.
"I told him Joey & I have feelings for each other." Pacey said in a monotone.
Andie stopped walking & grabbed his sleeve.
"What are you talking about?" she asked. "You & Joey?"
"That's right Andie," Pacey said as he pulled his arm away from her.
The colour drained from Andie's face. "But Pacey. I thought we were starting to get along better."
Pacey looked at Andie & groaned inwardly. He didn't want to have this conversation right now. "We were getting along better Andie. We still are. So please don't ruin it."
Pacey turned away & left Andie standing in the middle of the hallway. He knew where he was going & he didn't want company.
