Life's Little Twists
Pacey opened the door and greeted Dawson with a smile. Dawson didn't even let Pacey say hi, her was too busy thinking on ways to not kill him.
"What the hell! Pacey are you fucking stupid?" Dawson yelled. Pacey's smile faded and he looked at Dawson. He sighed and looked off into the sky.
"Joey told you didn't she?" Pacey said as he sat down on the steps of his porch.
"Yes Pacey, she did tell me. What the hell were you thinking? I mean she's pregnant!"
"Dawson don't you think I know that?" Pacey said. He was pained and saddened about what was going on at that moment. Everything was suddenly turned upside down.
"Just because you screwed up your life, doesn't mean you have to go on and screw up hers. She has a good life, and a future ahead of her. You probably don't know what you will be doing tomorrow!" Dawson said. He was breathing hard and he just realized what he said. But then again, Pacey deserved it. And Dawson wasn't going to choke on his words.
Pacey looked down, and then back at Dawson. He pursed his lips together and squinted. Then he looked back at Dawson.
"Thanks, Dawson. Thanks for reminding me that I have nothing to do with my life. Go ahead and make light that I will probably never graduate, and lets face it, I'm not good enough for Joey, now am I? I'm a loser, and a screw up. Well I'll tell you something Dawson, I KNOW THAT ALREADY!!!!!! I know that I fucked up! I know that I can't support Joey and the baby. Don't you think any of this has crossed my mind? Every single second, of every single time that I am with her I always think about what she has going good in her life. And me, her slacker and loser of a boyfriend only has her and a few friends. That's it!! I know I'm not good for her and I know that she is too good for me I know this already. And I already planned on doing something about it. Just for one second, her and me have been happy. I love that girl. I love her so much, that I must say that I have screwed up her life, and her chances and everything going good for her. I know already Dawson. And I thank you for reminding me that every second that I continue to be with her, that I jeopardize her chances on having a happy life. Please, excuse me Dawson, I think dumb little Pacey has had too much thinking done, for one day." Pacey walked away and Dawson looked after him.

Joey sat on the porch, thinking about everything. As far as she thought, everything was going to be fine. She would have Pacey, and they would get a job. Then she would have to stop working because of her condition. Then Pacey would bring home the money. They would have told their family before that and they would live happy lives. After the baby, Joey would get into college. Taking a year off. Then they would all be all right. Everything was going to work out.
Joey stood up, she was ready to go back in the house. As she walked over to the door she heard footsteps. Joey turned around and smiled.
"Pacey." Joey said. She went over to him and kissed him, but he pulled her back at arms length.
Joey looked at him confused. "What is it Pacey?"
"Joey, we need to talk."
Pacey opened the door and greeted Dawson with a smile. Dawson didn't even let Pacey say hi, her was too busy thinking on ways to not kill him.
