College twists pt.17
It was seven at night when Joey got home from the store. She hadn't heard or seen Pacey in a week. She lived on the fifth floor of the dorm house. When she was in the elevator she was thinking of Pacey. She remembered how his eyes looked a week ago. It was mid January so it was pretty cold outside. Joey stepped out of the elevator. She headed to her room when she noticed little red things making a trail from her door. They were rose petals. What was this? She opened her door and put her bags down. She took off her coat and put her hat on the table. She looked around. When she looked on her bed she saw an envelope with potter written on it. There was only one person who called her Potter. She opened the envelope and read the card:
Ah, Josephine, if the measure of thy joy
Be heap'd like mine and that thy skill be more
To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath
This neighbour air, and let rich music's tongue
Unfold the imagined happiness that both
Receive in either by this dear encounter.
From Romeo and Pacey Follow the roses and show thou's face to the moon.
Joey was ready to cry. She put on her coat and followed the rose petals. They led to the upstairs patio. It was like a balcony. The roses went all the way to the railing. She walked up to the railing and looked down. Pacey was standing on the ground with a rose in his hand. Joey looked at him. He spoke first. "But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Josephine is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, that thou her maid art far more fair than she: be not her maid, since she is envious; her vestal livery is but sick and green and none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!" Joey started to cry. "Oh Pacey," she said between sobs. "She speaks: O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er my head as is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wondering eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him when he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air." Joey kept crying. "Pacey, when do you climb up to greet me?" "When my love permits." "Please come up." Pacey had a ladder in place already. He climbed up the balcony. When he was up he spoke again. "Joey, I am sorry for all of the hurt I have caused you. Please forgive me. I need you. You are my world. I love you Jo'." "I love you too Pacey." They both ran to each other. They first hugged then they kissed. "I'm so sorry Pacey. I was mean and heartless. I'm sorry I played with your heart. I didn't want to cause you pain." "Shh, Joey it's okay. I don't care as long as I have you." "I saw your eyes Pacey. I have never seen them filled with so much pain before. I caused it." "Yes, you did hurt me, but this, right now, holding you in my arms, made it seem all worth it." "I love you Pacey." "I love you too." They kissed again. "Sorry Jo'. This was all I had left after the trail." Pacey held up the rose. Joey took it. "You have to go inside before you freeze." Joey and Pacey went inside.
