Joey's Death

Summary: All right, this may seem really crazy, therefor, I'm not sure if anyone will read it. It's A/U. What if Joey had died instead of Jen. It will be similar to the last episode but it will Joey rather then Jen. . I think I'm going to split into different chapter. First, all of the characters are seeing her before she dies, talking to her. Then how the all deal with her death. And what about the letters she left behind?

Chapter 2, Pacey's POV

As soon as I saw Dawson came out I got up to go in. I was worried about what to say to her, or how to act. I had such little experience with this. Then I decided not to worry, I would just act how I normally act. I knocked on the door once and opened it.

I looked at her then she spoke.

Her voice sounded shaky, "Pacey! How are you."

She was wiping tears I could tell. I just couldn't believe this . . . she was dying. Why . . . if anyone deserved to die it was anyone but Joey Potter.

Flashback *

It was the night of the ski trip and Joey had just asked me for the wallet.

|Me: You're gonna throw it away? | | | |JOEY: The wrapper, yes. | | | |Me: If this is about - | | | |JOEY: -- It's about you carrying my bag off the bus yesterday. It's | |about how at the movies, when you get the popcorn you bring me a | |napkin so I don't have to wipe the butter on my jeans. Or how last | |week, at miniature golf, you made sure you always shot first so I | |could see which path worked best. | | | | | |Me: That was just - | | | | | |JOEY: -- You taught me to drive. You knew the bracelet I wore to the| |prom last year was my mother's. You kissed me first and you counted | |to ten before you kissed me again in case I wanted to stop you. | |You...you bought a wall for me. | | | | | |Me: I didn't so much buy it as - | | | | | |JOEY: -- Three months alone on a boat and you understood without a | |word why I wasn't ready. | |Do you really have to ask now why I am? So... in about ten seconds, | |I'm going to start kissing you. And if you don't want me to... well,| |then I guess you're just gonna have to stop me. | |Ten. |

End Flash back *

I thought even harder, I remembered the day we left on my boat.

|JOEY: I think I'm in love with you. | | | | | |Me: You think you are, or you know? | | | | | |JOEY: I know it. I've know it since the moment we kissed, and maybe | |even before that. And as scary as it is, I don't want to deny it | |anymore. I don't want to run from it or let it run from me. | | | | | |Me: So what are we going to do here? | | | |JOEY: I'm still not gonna ask you to stay. | | | |Me: I see... | | | |JOEY: Because I want to go with you. | | | |Me: Wait a second... are you crazy? | | | |JOEY: I want to stop standing still. I want to go forward. I want to| |go with you, Pacey. | | | |Me: What about Bessie and the B&B -- they need you. | | | |JOEY: Not as much as I need you. |

End Flash back *

That summer on the boat was the best summer of my life. I would give anything for just a day of that experience back.

Then I remembered way back when I was 15. The first time I ever told her that I had feelings for her. I can't believe it had been ten years since then.

( * Flash back *

Me: Listen, we'll get some dry clothes when we get over to your house. Right now, just change into this.

JOEY: A blanket? You want me to change into that?

Me: Yeah. Take off your wet clothes, wrap this around you, just like I'm gonna do.

JOEY: Wait a second. You want me to get naked?

Me: Oh, please, this is not for my enjoyment, so you don't get sick. But if you got your heart set on pneumonia, then feel free.

JOEY: Fine.

Me: And no peeking.

JOEY: Oh, yeah. The idea of seeing you in your birthday suit is really my idea of a thrill.

Me: You know, a lot of people would consider you a very lucky woman.

JOEY: Many people have considered you a very deluded man.

End flashback.

"I really have missed you Pacey, I just hate spending time with you like this . . .! I would give anything to be back on the True Love."

"That's funny because I was thinking the same things. You and I have had so many memories together that . . ." I felt a slight tear on my face, I try to hide it and gulp, " I could never forget you."

"Come here Pace . . ." She told me.

I went to her bed and sat down next to and gave her a hug. "Jo . . . I love you so much. Even after all this time. You're one of the best people that I know."

She smiled at me and hugged me, "Pace . . . you're a great person to know. I'm the lucky one. You bought me the wall, you took me to place I never knew on a boat ,you waited for me, you made my first time so special, and you always supported me. But do me a favor . . ." She told me.

"What's that?" I asked, willing to do anything.

"Don't go getting all emotional on me." Then since the first time I'd come in, she smiled.

We talked for a while after that about different things, and even if it was just a few mere minutes, she got the cancer thing off her mind. Which knowing that made me feel slightly better about things. I left and promised I'd come ever day, all though, she replied saying it was not necessary. Of course I wouldn't listen to that.

A/n: Hey! Next will be Jen, Jen and Andie's all in the same Chapter . . . then back to Dawson . . . then Pacey. This could go on for a while . . . but anyway. Review! ( This so sad to write because I love Joey!
