Chapter 5

Life is full of surprises, for Joey Potter anyway.
This chapter starts two weeks after the previous chapter. I apologize if there is any confusion.
Joey woke up and was shocked to see how late it was. She wasn't late for work but wanted to get an earlier start. She had this important meeting. She had just started working as a journalist for a Boson Woman's magazine. She was an extremely gifted writer, but she still felt as if she has to prove herself worthy of this position. She felt currently, how she was living her life, was surreal. She always had this dream of being a great writer and having lots of money. Most important ever since she was a little girl she dreamed of being with Dawson. Being the girl he loved, the one he kissed, the one he couldn't live without. She was happy, for once in her life. She was truly happy.

She got out of her warm, fuzzy sheets and walked to the bathroom. She knew she didn't have enough time for a shower. She had just showered last night so she didn't mind letting it slide. She reached for her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth. She saw next to her toothbrush was the blue one Dawson had used. He left a few days ago for California, again. He had to assure her that it would only be a few days. He had been doing most of the editing/reviewing on the laptop. He needed some re-shoots, he was forced to go back and film it. He didn't want to go but had to. She left the room to get dressed.

Once in her room she reached for a tan skirt. She put it on. She decided it looked fine without pantyhose. She then reached for a soft pink, button down shirt. She quickly put it on. After much debate she thought leaving her hair down would look the best. She applied an ever so light coat of make-up and left the room. She walked to the kitchen where she had a quick yet refreshing cup of orange juice and headed out. She double checked her black leather bag and verified she had her silver lap top, black cell- phone, writing utensils, the file of all the work she had done and her latest writing piece. She was ready for this meeting. As excited, as she was to get to work, she was even more excited to be seeing Dawson tonight. She left the apartment and headed for the T.

Meanwhile Audrey was just getting up. She had heard Joey getting ready. Audrey knew she had to get to work in an hour. She was feeling kind of down. Of course anyone who had just gotten dumped a week ago would feel a little down. She was not going to let the likes of Pacey Witter get her down. He had done that to her before and mark her words she was not going to let it happen again. She decided she would surprise him and suggest they be friends. He would never expect that from her. He had been calling her at least three times a day, but she didn't feel like talking to him. She got ready for work with a positive attitude.

Pacey had felt guilty all week. Ever since he broke up with Audrey he felt as if a dark cloud followed him. He felt bad for breaking someone's heart for he knew the pain, but he also knew that he loved Andie and he had to be with her. He also knew that what him and Audrey had was a pure sexual thing. It had always been the way. He wasn't calling Audrey a slut, he was just stating that since they had gotten back together there hadn't been much to it other then that. Not that there ever had been more then that to it. With him and Andie it was different. He loved her in so many forms. It always felt brand new. He felt the butterflies, without having the nervousness of a new crush. He knew it was love. He knew he had fond his "Joey Potter." Okay maybe speaking in Dawson terms wasn't the best way to put this. Since he had thought for a while Joey was his soul mate. The bottom line was that Pacey thought of Andie as his soul-mate. Even though he didn't really know if there was such thing as a "soul-mate."

Joey got into her office. She then began to take out all the stuff she would need for the meeting. She grabbed her laptop, folder, pen, and current article. She walked down the hall and fond a seat and sat down. She opened her laptop into a word document so she could take notes, if necessary. She also had her folder out so if she needed to she could share and have reference to her work.. A tall man, probably in his late 40's came into the room.

"I just got off the phone with the Boston weekly." He informed. "One of their top journalist just left the company. They decided they would ask us if we had an talented young journalist who would want to take the job. I know they would want someone with talent, someone who can blow people away with their writing. That is why I called this meeting. The person that came in mind for this job, was acutely, someone who had not been with us very long. The person I'm going to choice is Miss Josephine Potter."

Joey sat there in disbelief looking utterly shocked. "Well, um," She laughed a little, "I don't know what to say."

"Your work has just been outstanding. Your able to reach people with your writing unlike anyone I have ever met. I know you are the only person I could consider for this job. I really hope you will take it."

Joey felt even more shocked and started to blush a little, "Well how can I say no to something that? I'll take it."

"Your last day will be a week from today. Then that Monday you will start at The Boston Weekly."

"Thank you so much.." She said before she left. She quickly dropped off her latest article and went back to her office. She was in total awe. If only she knew the surprise that was going to come her way that night.

A/N: Sorry there was not a lot of P/A in this chapter. The next chapter will be a lot better for you. Sorry that I left kind of a cliffhanger, but I just feel that it was needed. I will be putting the next chapter up there soon.so look for it!
