The next morning was Saturday. And Joey groaned when she saw her alarm clock it was only 7:00. She could hear Pacey singing loudly in the shower. She groaned again. She stretched and stood up in front of a mirror and found a hairbrush and brushed her hair. That's better she thought. She put on some jeans and a tee shirt and thought about how much math homework she had to do. She got up got some orange juice and went and sat down on the couch with her homework sprawled out on the table.
" Doing your homework Potter, how predictable," Pacey said with a towel wrapped around his waist. Joey hated to admit it, he looked good without his shirt on. She tried not to grin.
" Compared to you who never does his homework?" Joey said and smirked.
" Your right Potter, I should do my homework more," Pacey said sarcastically.
" Get some clothes on Pacey, there might be other guests," She said and rolled her eyes.
" Right Jo," he said and bowed almost loosing his towel. And walked out the room. Joey smiled and got back to her homework.
" Joey!" Bessie said coming in the room hours later. " Dawson's here,"
Joey looked at Pacey weirdly; the two of them had been watching TV for hours. Why is Dawson here? She thought.
" Hey Dawson," Joey said opening the door. Dawson stormed in the room.
" What are you doing here Pacey?" he asked.
" I have a room here at the B&B," Pacey said.
" I guess it doesn't matter if you're here," Dawson said.
" What's wrong Dawson your acting weird," Joey said starring at him.
" Jen broke up with me! I can't believe this!" Dawson said starring at the ground looking pathetic.
" Aw, I'm sorry man," Pacey said and patted him on the back.
" I just don't know why though, I'm just so confused," Dawson said dramatically and sat down on the couch with his hands over his head.
" I'm sorry to sound rude or whatever Dawson, but it isn't the end of the world," Joey said bluntly.
" You don't how it feels like Jo, to get lost in someone, to love someone so much, and they just break you heart," Dawson said. Joey snorted.
" You mean I don't know how it feels to be in love with someone so much it hurts? Get a life Dawson," Joey said glaring at him, tears ran down her face.
" Yeah right? With who?" Dawson asked.
" Dawson, its you, its always been you," Joey said, regretting saying this the moment she d id.
" Yeah right Jo, you don't love me, that's crazy!" Dawson said.
Joey said nothing. Pacey walked out of the room.
" You are so oblivious Dawson, I've spent the last year pining over you, do you know how painful that is?" Joey said.
" I had no clue Jo, " Dawson said.
" Yeah, I kinda figured that out," Joey said sarcastically.
" But Jo, I don't see you like that? You know what I mean right?" Dawson said with a shocked look on his face.
" You could never love me that way?" Joey asked with a pained look on her face.
" No," Dawson whispered. Tears ran down Joey's face and she just looked him in the eye. He had no remorse in his eyes. She ran out of the room, out of the house and slammed the door. She ran as far as she could. She couldn't stop sobbing. She was shaking so badly. This secret that she had been keeping for so long, and she finally told, only to be rejected.
" Joey?" Pacey said running catching up to her. " God Jo, please stop crying," he said desperately. But she couldn't stop, she just wanted to die.
" I want to die Pace," she said. And Pacey held her.
" Your gonna be okay Potter," he whispered. She sobbed. After awhile she started to stop, her face was buried into Pacey's sweater. She gulped and said. " I'm sorry Pace, do you even know what happened? " she asked and started to cry again softly.
"Its okay Potter, I know what happened," he said and held her tighter. She finally stopped and looked up at him and looked him in the eye. Her heart fluttered but she looked away.
" Thank you Pacey," she whispered. And he hugged her again.
" Do you want to go back now?" he asked and slowly released her.
" Not yet, okay?" she said and he held her hand.
" Okay," he said.
