Pacey arrived at Joey's apartment building a week after she left Capeside.  He gave her time to calm down and it also gave him time to think.  Looking up at her window he could see a light on.  He pushed the intercom for the door but no-one answered. 

The security door opened and an old lady poked her head round the door.

"You want in?"  She asked

"Thanks!"  He said walking towards the door

"Who are you here to see?"

"The girl in 2C"

"She moved out!"  The old lady said.

"Moved out?  Are you sure?"  Pacey said sounding confused.

"Pretty sure.  I'm the super's wife.  She came down last week and said that she had found another apartment and that she was moving."

"Did she leave an address?  Anything?"

"Nothing but her rent.  She was a real nice girl too.  We didn't have any problems with her."

Pacey made his way back to his car.  "Thanks for the help!" he called out over his shoulder.

He took out his cell phone and didn't know who to call.  Bessie would have called him if Joey had moved.  I'll call Jen; he thought to himself, she's in London Witter how is she supposed to know where Joey is.  Dawson then, yeah like he's going to know.

Before he could thinks of anything else his phone sprang to life.

"Hello?"  He said cautiously

"You looking for someone?"  Came a familiar voice.

"Lindley!  It's good to hear your voice!  Where are you?  How are you?"

"I am currently standing watching a very lost looking Pacey Witter!"

Pacey spun round and waited for the crowds to part and saw Jen standing waving wildly at him.

"Jen Lindley, what in the world are you doing back in Boston?"

"Fix my caffeine craving and I'll tell you all about it and I may even help you find the girl that you're looking for."

"I'm not looking for anyone."  He said innocently.

"That's why your standing outside Joey's ex apartment!"

"You know where she is?"

"And you're telling me that you're not looking for her.  Buy me coffee Pacey and I shall reveal all."  Jen hung up her phone and waited for Pacey to come to her.

They sat in a quiet corner of Starbucks stirring their coffee, each waiting on the other to start talking.

"Pace…"
"Jen, listen..."  They both said at the same time.  They laughed and went back to stirring their coffee. 

"Lindley?"

"Witter?"

"Lindley!"

"Oh for crying out loud Pacey.  Ask me?" she said losing her patience

"Ask you what?"

"Where she is?"

"Who?"

"Don't you dare do this.  You know who."

"Why are you back in Boston, I thought you were off travelling the world."  He said avoiding the subject.

Jen sighed heavily she knew that she wasn't going to get anywhere right now.

"I was but then I called Grams about a week ago and when I got off the phone I couldn't stop crying.  Home sick!  David booked us on the first flight home.  You know I always thought that I wanted to be away from Grams but I spoke to her and I just felt myself crumbling.  I realised that I just can't live without her.  Jack spoke to her too but he's not a big woose like me.  He went to Spain the day we left."

"I know what you mean!"

"About Grams!"

"Joey!"

"Ahh, now it took you a bit longer than anticipated but finally we are there."

"When Bessie told me that she had gone back to Boston I thought my heart would break and then when the super's wife told me she had moved my world kind of came crashing down.  I've been sitting in Capeside for the best part of a week, with Dougie breathing down my neck telling me to get my ass back to Boston and get the girl.  I've been trying to fight it Jen and I can't anymore.  She drives me crazy but she has my heart."

Jen got up and hugged Pacey tight.

"Thank god."

What was that for?"  Pacey said freeing himself from her grasp.

"I can't tell you how happy I am.  I was talking to Dawson and he was threatening to come and force you two together and Jack said he was going to kick your ass if you didn't tell Joey sometime soon."

"I don't know what's more frightening Dawson coming back to Boston or Jack attempting to kick my ass."

"You do know he's moved on."

"So he says!"

"No really, he has.  He's even got over me"

"That must have been hard for him"

"It was.  I mean you can't really beat the Jen Lindley experience."

"That's what I regret about us not having that experience I hear its one hell of a…"

"Don't finish that sentence. And whose fault is it that we never, you know.  We had our opportunities but…"

"Things got in the way."

"Joey Potter got in the way"

"Damn Joey Potter" Pacey smirked

"No matter what you say about her, you can't help but lover her.  Even me the blonde haired girl that turned up and stole her man all those years ago, loves her.  I know it's hard sometimes and I know she drives you crazy with her little quirks but love her you must.  Pacey Witter, you know that you love her and you know that Dawson does not even figure into it anymore, because I've told you and it's even come from the horse's mouth but why do you insist on…"

"Using him as an excuse?"  Pacey asked.

Jen nodded her head and took a sip of her coffee.

"I guess it makes it easier for me to say that I can't love her because of him, yet in spite of that I do love her."

"Pace, Dawson has given his blessing to this union.  He wants you two to get together and your neurosis is getting in the way of what could potentially be the greatest love of your life."

"I know.  I have to find her!"
"Indeed you do and I know where she is"

"Where?"

"Grams!"

"Huh?"

"She's staying with Grams until she can find somewhere else to live.  When she came back from Capeside she found a family of mice had moved in.  Her super is having it seen too.  Poor little mice."

"The Super's wife told me she had moved out."

"The super's wife is a little cookie, Witter.  Don't believe everything you hear.  Although I don't think that Joey wants to go back to her apartment.  Grams is treating her like a princess."
"Are you jealous, Jen?"
"Me! Jealous of Joey Potter!  Always!"  She said with a laugh.  Pacey couldn't help himself and joined in.
