Life's Little Twists
"Hey, Joey can I come in?" Jen asked as she knocked on Joey's door. There were a lot of muffled sounds and Jen just opened the door. Joey had been ditching and dodging everyone for a week. The only people who seemed to know what was going on was Pacey and Dawson. Jen didn't like not knowing when her friends needed her and she planned to find out what was wrong with Joey and why she had been avoiding everyone.
"Jen, I'm real busy. I can't talk right now." Joey said from the other side of the door. Jen sighed and twisted the doorknob and seen that the door was locked.
"Joey, you can't avoid me forever. You know that right?" Jen said while she took a hair clip out of her hair and started to work on the lock.
"Jen, I really have a contagious cold and I don't want you to catch the germ."
Jen unlocked the door and opened it. Joey was on her bed and when she seen Jen she threw the covers over herself. "Cut the bullshit Joey." Jen said simply as she closed and locked the door behind her.
"I locked that door." Joey said from under the sheets.
"Yeah I know. I used to break into my dad's beer cabinet. I know how to pick locks." Jen said as she sat on the bed and quickly moved the blanket from Joey's head.
"Jen!!" Joey screeched as her safety covers were thrown off of her.
"Joey, just tell me what's wrong."
"You sure you won't get mad if I tell you?" Joey said as she looked at Jen.
"I promise." Jen said.
Joey looked at her and then started to cry. Jen hugged her close. "Joey what has happened to you?" Jen asked as she held her friend close to her while Joey spilled her heart out.

"Pacey you son of a bitch!!!"
Pacey turned around and saw Jen glaring at him with her hands on her hips. She walked over to him and stood in front of him.
"I figure Joey told you." Pacey said as he got turned back to the wood he was chopping.
"Yeah she told me. How could you be so fucking heartless Pacey? I thought you loved Joey. You told me so yourself, and this is how you repay her? Leave her knocked up and crying her eyes out every 5 minutes? You are fucking unbelievable!!!"
"Jen, sorry for my lack of interest in your song and dance, but I already got the same show from Dawson and I don't want to see or hear it again." Pacey said as he continued to chop wood.
"You are a sorry excuse for a human being you know that? How dare you do that to Joey? How fucking dare you? I just think that you need to really think about how heartless you are. Leaving her pregnant while you act like you never slept with her, or worse yet, never met her. I cannot believe you Pacey. You need to get your ass back over to her and help her through this." Jen said. She looked at him one last time, and then she walked away. Pacey stopped chopping and slumped down. He put his head in his hands and let his angry tears fall from his eyes.

Two month later, they all graduated. Dawson decided to stay for the summer, and everyone else did the same. They all wanted to be there for Joey. Everyone wanted to stay by her side, except Pacey. Pacey didn't even say goodbye to them. But they knew he left. He was going to be on a yacht for a few months, helping out. He would be back in 2 months. Joey didn't show that she was heartbroken about this. She didn't want to worry her friends more then they were. She planned on talking to Pacey when he got back. So she would wait, until his boat came back, in August.
