Jen opened her eyes as someone knocked loudly on her front door. She stood up groggily and walked to the front hall. She unlocked the door and pulled it open.
"Joey," she said with surprise.
Joey barged in past Jen and stood facing her.
"How could you?" Joey asked angrily.
"What do you mean?" Jen said slowly.
"How could you betray me like this?" Joey asked. "You knew how much I loved him."
"Joey, I love him. And I was seeing him before you. We just kept it secret," Jen said.
"So that makes it okay?" Joey asked.
"Of course not. I begged Pacey to tell you. He didn't want to hurt you," Jen explained.
"You should've told me," Joey insisted. "I was the last to know. Even Dawson knew."
Jen took a step towards Joey.
"I'm sorry Joey. I was scared of losing him. I wasn't thinking logically," Jen said.
"Well you can have him now. He's all yours," Joey said.
She turned to the front door.
"I hope you're happy. Our friendship is over," she said softly then walked out.
Jen watched her go. She felt sadness in her heart. She hadn't meant to hurt Joey. She cared about Joey.
Jen thought about what had just happened. So Pacey had finally spilt the beans. It was all over. Joey had said so.
She turned to the phone. She knew whom she had to call.

"Hey," Dawson said as he approached Joey from behind.
Joey looked up then looked back out over the creek.
"Go away Dawson. I want to be alone," she said.
"Jen called me. She said Pacey admitted the truth," Dawson said.
Joey snorted. "She's probably at his house now. She must be thrilled."
Dawson sat down next to Joey.
"No she's not. She's upset that she hurt you. She doesn't want anything to do with Pacey."
Joey shook her head.
"Dawson, how could they do this to me?" she asked. "I thought they were my friends above anything else."
Dawson shrugged. "I don't know. People do bad things. People don't think."
"I would never do anything like that," Joey said.
Dawson smiled ruefully. "Joey, you hurt me when you kept your relationship with Pacey a secret from me."
Joey's heart thumped at his sentence.
"That was different," Joey said defensively. "We weren't together."
"But we were best friends and you knew how I felt about you," Dawson said softly.
"That's why I didn't tell you," Joey said.
"It still hurt me when I found out. Yes I was jealous, but mostly I was upset you couldn't tell me something. I thought we were friends above anything else."
Joey mulled over the same sentence she had said.
"I'm sorry Dawson. I treated you terribly. I just thought you were being jealous and petty," Joey said.
"I was," Dawson said quickly. "You keeping it a secret just didn't help."
Joey sighed as she leaned against Dawson.
"I can't count on anyone but you, Dawson. It's always been the two of us. It'll always be just the two of us," she said softly.
Dawson leaned his head on Joey's head.
"I won't complain about that."
They sat silently as they watched the sun set over the creek.
