There was nothing but silence in the Witter-wagoneer. Pacey had both hands
on the steering wheel and his eyes focused on the road in front of him.
Meanwhile, Joey stared out the passenger side window, with tears surfacing
sporadically. They were both hurting and couldn't find the will to speak.
Pacey was upset for several reasons. He hated to see Joey so miserable.
When Joey cried, he felt her pain. Pacey also hurt for Dawson. The sad
fact was that he had betrayed Dawson. Pacey bit his lower lip as he drove
toward the Potter B&B. Dawson's words echoed in his head, "You're a liar
and a sneak! I'm through with the both of you!"
Pacey gripped the steering wheel tighter.
Joey continued to stare out the window and watched the trees pass by. Raw emotions wrestled with her heart. Joey wiped a tear from her eye and stared toward the sky. The night sky revealed no stars. Storm clouds had consumed the vista and Joey saw lightning in the distance. The weather seemed to be feeding off Joey's emotions.
"What did Dawson say?" asked Pacey, keeping his eyes straight ahead.
Joey jumped from Pacey's question. She had adapted to the silence and his break of it caught her a little of guard.
"I don't want to talk about it Pacey. I just want to go home."
"I have a right to know Joey. Do you think he'll forgive us?"
"I don't think so Pace. I don't think he wants to speak to us ever again."
Pacey nodded but Joey's statement sent ice daggers to his heart. He had really screwed things up with Dawson. Thunder rumbled as the Witter wagon pulled into the B&B driveway.

"Party!!!!" shouted a Capeside jock as he chugged a beer and crushed the can against his head.
The Regatta Blast was bumping. Dozens of Capeside students occupied a large beach house and almost all of them were drinking. Loud music blasted through the rooms and several of the students danced in the living room.
Henry and Jenn edged passed a boy and girl grinding on the dance floor. Jenn shook her head distastefully. The display was quite graphic and nauseating. Meanwhile, Henry strolled up to a table which was stacked with an assortment of alcoholic drinks. He quickly pored Jenn and himself a drink, and brought it back to her.
"What is this?" asked Jenn, taking the cup from Henry.
"Don't worry, it's just a Coke." he informed, sipping his own cup.
The music was extremely loud and the entire house was shaking. Jenn covered her ears in mock annoyance. She wasn't exactly having a fun time.
"Gee, this is swell. Can we go now?" she asked, plugging her ear with a finger.
"Just let me say hey to a couple of guys and then we can go."
"Make it quick, freshman!" shouted Jenn, amongst the racket.
Henry nodded to Jenn and then vanished within the sea of students. Jenn sighed in aggravation and then took another drink of her Coke. She slowly eased from room to room and took in the scene. The party had potentially become a make-out fest. Couples explored each others tonsils as Jenn walked by. A disgusting taste stung at the back of Jenn's throat. Get a room people, she thought in distaste.
Jenn entered the kitchen and saw a mass of football players and one girl. The girl caught Jenn's attention immediately. It was Andie.
Andie took a shot of tequila and jammed a lime into her mouth. It was obvious that she hated the taste of the alcohol and that the lime was providing her much solace. Jenn couldn't believe her eyes. Andie was getting trashed with the football players.
"Whoa! Who would of thought that McPhee's sister was such a party animal?" laughed one of the jocks, high-fiving a fellow athlete.
"That's me! Andie the partier!" she replied in a drunken stupor.
Jenn stifled a laugh despite the severity of the situation. Andie had run off unexpectedly and Jack was totally perplexed. He told Jenn and Henry what had happened and then went looking for Andie. Jenn imagined that he was still out searching for his lost sister. I bet he didn't think to check here, thought Jenn with a twisted smile.
=====/////=====
"She's where?!" shouted Jack, over the telephone.
Jack could barely hear Jenn. The phone was being blocked out from an outside source. Music was blaring and Jenn couldn't hear herself think.
"Andie's at the Regatta Blast!" shouted Jenn, holding the receiver close to her mouth.
"What is she doing there?"
"Well from the looks of things, I'd say she's getting drunk." "What?!"
"I said Andie's getting drunk!"
"I heard what you said! I just can't believe it! Can you bring her home?"
"No can do Jackers, I tried to pull her away but she won't work with me. You'll have to come and get her."
"Great! My dad has our car. I'll try to get Pacey and Joey to come and get me. Keep an eye on her, will ya?"
"Ok Jack but hurry. These football players are looking a little frisky."
Both Jenn and Jack hung up the phone. Jenn stared at Andie in awe. Andie had just finished her fifth shot of tequila and was still going strong. Meanwhile, Jack called the Potter B&B.
=====////====
Pacey and Joey sat at the kitchen table of the Potter B&B. They had been discussing their next course of action regarding how to deal with Dawson. The best solution they could come up with was to give Dawson some time to cool off, and then try to talk with him.
Joey yawned tiredly as Pacey got himself a glass of water. She was starting to get tired and wanted to get some sleep. Joey stared up at the wall clock and saw that it was approaching midnight. All this crying has worn me out, she thought.
"Look Pace, you should go. It's getting late."
"Ok Joe." replied Pacey, putting his glass in the sink.
Pacey went for the door and Joey followed. Both of them were dealing with terrible emotional pain. Pacey opened the kitchen door, stopped, and turned back to Joey.
"See you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah." said Joey, nodding her head.
They kissed weakly and then Pacey left. He heard the phone ring as he walked toward his father's station wagon. Pacey got in his vehicle and started it up. Suddenly, Joey rushed out of the B&B. She appeared to be worried. Pacey rolled down the driver side window as she approached.
"Pace, thank God I caught you. Jack needs us to help him pick up Andie."
"Why? Is Andie ok?" asked Pacey, fear etching across his face.
"She's ok but she's drunk. Jack would go get her himself but his father has their car."
"Alright Joe, get in." replied Pacey.
Joey went around to the other side of the Witter wagon and got in. Worry was marked on Joey's face and both she and Pacey were thinking the same thing. This is our fault, they thought.
=====/////=====
Jenn and Henry stared at Andie in total surprise. Andie was extremely drunk. She had managed to stumble into the living room and then proceeded to dance with Capeside's rich boy, Matt Caulfield. Matt Caulfield was a jerk who made everyone at Capeside High feel terrible about themselves. He believed that just because he was rich, he could get away with anything. Jenn shook her head sadly. Andie hates Matt Caulfield but they're dancing together in a "non-hating" sort of way, she thought.
Suddenly Dawson entered the front door. He stood in the doorway and a streak of lightning flashed behind him. Jenn didn't see him at first but Henry pointed him out. Jenn turned in Dawson's direction. She could tell that Dawson was obviously upset. His facial expression said it all; Joey Potter had hurt him. Jenn quickly went to Dawson and put her hand on his arm.
"Are you ok Dawson?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine Jenn. Just lead me to the drinks!" said Dawson with anger in his eyes.
