A/n: Will be at the end of Chapter.

Joey woke up to realize what an awful mistake she had made. Last night had been great, she wanted to see Dawson so badly. After talking for a while she had stayed the night but more happened then anticipated. She had slept with Dawson, in the heat of the moment. The reason this was a mistake was she no longer loved him romantically. She was still in love with her ex-boyfriend, and his best friend. She knew, when he found out, her would be upset. Getting out of the best and putting her cloths on she was trying to be as silent as she could. She had to leave him a note of some sort.

Dawson,

I know you're going to hate me for this, all though I really do wish it not the be the case. Last night was great but in the morning I realized it was a mistake. You'll always have a piece of my heart, as I have said in the past. I just can't love you romantically, but I really wish I could. Last night I was just so confused and I missed you so much, I thought I did love you in a romantic manner, that is why I did what I did. The worst part of this is I still love Pacey. I know this for sure. I really hope you're not mad at me Dawson. I couldn't deal with loosing you. Please keep an open heart. Talk to you real soon.

Warm regards,

Joey

She wasn't sure if this really was what she felt, or if she still was confused. She hoped she was right and she hoped, for the second time, she hadn't hurt him. When she arrived home, like last night, the house was empty. She took a long shower, maybe the longest one she had ever taken and reminisced about the past. She remembered, fondly the night at the ski lodge, she remembered the night Pacey bought her a wall. She would forever block out prom night. There was no need to remember such things. In all fairness she remembered all the good times with Dawson.

She just couldn't stay with him, Dawson. They were just too right for each other. Pacey and her just worked better and this time it was going to last. She would make sure of it. She reached for the kitchen phone and dialed Pacey's new number. She was grateful that Jen gave her all of her friends numbers. Good to keep in touch. It rang twice when Jack answered. Pacey and him were now sharing an apartment.

"Hey Jack, its Joey. I told you I'd call."

He smiled, "Yeah and I didn't believe you. When you left you said a very similar thing and it never happened."

"Well Jack, I'll always feel guilty for that. Is Pacey there?"

"Yeah he is, I'll put him on. Nice talking to you Jo. Oh yeah, one minute, do you want to come out to dinner with all of us tonight?"

"Tonight, sure. Only problem is I need a lift. I'll ask Pacey."

"All right, here he is."

Just then did she remember that hadn't talked since prom.

"Pacey, it's me, Joey."

He smiled, "I knew someday you would call."

"Yeah, I know it's been a while. So are you gonna come and get me so I can see you all in person?"

"Yeah I guess I could but you better be giving me gas money."

"Yeah you talk big Pace, get over here now!" She said, as she hung up.

She packed cloths, enough for a few days. Hopefully, she could stay at Pacey's, but Jen's was her back up plan. About an hour later her ride pulled up and she got in. She had a white short skirt on and a lavender tank top and her hair was pulled back. Pacey couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. After the hugs and small talk, Joey decided to drop the bomb.

"Pacey, I think we should get back together." She tried to say it nonchalantly but couldn't hide how nervous she was.

"Well that came out of left field."

"What do you think?" She asked.

"I think it sounds like a good idea, I just think we need to tall things out first. Figure out what went wrong before we just jump into something."

"Yeah, I mean that would make sense."

After about 20 more minutes of discussing their problems the arrived at the building where Pacey and Jack lived.

Joey unbuckled her seatbelt, "Now that we've got that talking out of the way . . ." She reached over and undid his seatbelt as well as moving his seat back and sat in front of them, on the same seat and began to kiss him passionately.

"Wow, you're being incredibly sexy." He then started kissing her back.

"Well I've waited a year to do this and I've missed it so much!"

"Point taking, and let me tell ya, I know the feeling, but lets go in." He told her.

"Good idea." She spoke as she grabbed her bag and walked with him the house. She then added, "Uh is it ok for people to know?"

He looked at her puzzled, "Why wouldn't it be?"

Joey shrugged, "I don't know, I was just making sure."

The both walked in and they again couldn't resist and they started kissing, the didn't even notice Jack walk in.

"Wow, I wasn't expecting this!" He remarked.

Joey and Pacey stopped kissing and Pacey looked at Jack and Joey pulled away.

Joey smiled, "We got back together on the way here."

"All right, well I have to go out for a while bit remember, we are meeting at HK at 7." Jack told them.

Pacey asked, "Who else is coming?"

"Jen, Andie, and Dawson."

Joey went a little pale, "Dawson's coming too?"

"Yeah, he'll be dying to see you." Jack assured her.

"Well, I saw him last night, so I'm sure he won't be that thrilled." She laughed slightly.

She wondered how Dawson would act around her. Would he be mad? And what if Pacey found out about her and Dawson?
