Author's Notes: Sorry, I've been really slack about posting new chapters lately! LOL ah well... let me see. School's back so I should (finger's crossed) be able to update more often. Oh and as this chapter will probably prove, I also love Dawson's Creek... such a shame it finished :( Oh and just so you know there will be slash references in later chapters, this has only just come up so I'm letting you know ahead of time. I won't go into detail but still some people don't like it.
WeBuiltThisCityOnRockAndRoll - Aw thank you! I try my best.
C-chan96 - I think you'll like this chapter... at least I hope you do!
beautyqueen321 - your wish is my command!
Orli-anon - Of course you loved it! And I am reading your story, I specially like what happens with me :D:D:D. And thank your, uh, FANS for their support.
Catbus - thank you! hopefully you got my email
Here we go, starts where chapter 6 ended:
Chapter 7:
"Really, I do. What you and I share is so amazing, so special, it goes beyond friendship. We just have this... bond, we understand each other so well. I wish I had a word to describe it-"
Katie cut him off. "Soulmates."
"What?"
She smiled. "We're soulmates. You know, like Dawson and Joey."
"Dawson and Joey? Who?" Charlie couldn't figure out what she was talking about.
"My god Charles, you are SO behind the times. Dawson and Joey, Dawson's Creek? The TV show? You haven't heard of Dawson's Creek??? Where have you been??"
"Hang on, isn't that the one that had the affair with the teacher?"
Katie sighed with relief. "Yes, pacey had an affair with his English teacher." She looked at her watch. "It's only 6:30. What do you say we have dinner and go catch a movie or something?"
Charlie nodded. "Movie sounds good to me."
~*~*~
They were standing outside the movie theater, trying to decide what to see, when Connie and Guy walked up behind them.
"Hey you guys! Seeing a movie?" Connie asked.
"Well, considering this is a movie theater, my guess would be yes," Charlie smirked. "Ow!"
Katie had elbowed him in the ribs.
"What are you seeing?" Guy tried to steer the topic to something more neutral.
"I refuse to see a chick flick." Charlie stated.
"Good," Katie replied, "I hate chick flicks." She was scanning the board as her eyes lit up. "Ooh, what about this one?" She asked Charlie, jabbing her finger at an ad.
"Cruel Intentions?"
"Yeah, bonus it has sex, drugs and swearing, should be excellent."
Charlie shrugged. "I'm sold. How about you guys?"
"Nah, we'll pass. We'll see you later," Guy replied, he and Connie still looking at what was showing.
~*~*~
"That was so good," Katie said, coming out of the cinema. The tear trails were still evident on her face.
Charlie shrugged. "So much for you hating chick flicks."
"That was so badly NOT a chick flick! Did you see any chick flicky stuff? Come on, chick flicks all have a happy ending, and they're corny and predictable. That movie was..."
"Shocking?" Charlie suggested.
"Brilliant." She countered.
"Shockngly brilliant." Charlie grinned. "I admit, I thought it was great."
Katie smiled. "I always knew you would."
Something caught her eye, and she swore just loudly enough for Charlie to hear.
"What?" He asked.
"We have to go, NOW." She grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the exit.
"What? Why?" Charlie asked, trying to keep up with her.
"I just saw my father. He'd almost literally kill me if he saw me."
Katie and Charlie ran quickly and quietly out to car.
"That was close." Katie stated once they were safely on their way. "Are you taking me back to the dorms?"
"Nope," Charlie replied, keeping his eyes on the road.
"Why not?" She asked confusedly.
Charlie scoffed. "As if I'm gonna let you go back there alone, and you would be alone because I would feel a hell of a lot better if I was sleeping in my own place which is why you're gonna sleep in my bed and I'm sleeping on the floor."
"Charles, there's no way you're sleeping on the florr." Katie said as they pulled up.
"Well I sure as hell ain't sleeping with you," Charlie replied getting out of the car, "you probably have cold feet."
Katie smiled. "No you idiot, I meant I'll take the floor, you sleep in your bed. And before you even think of arguing with me, do I need to remind you of the score?" She smirked at him as he rolled his eyes in defeat.
"Fine."
She grinned. "Make that 22-12 to me!"
"22-12? No way! It's more like 11-6, come on!"
They argued all the way to Charlie's door.
"Why don't we continue postpone this until later?" Chalire suggested. "Otherwise we're gonna annoy Mom and Wayne."
Katie rolled her eyes. "Sure, whatever."
Charlie paused with his hand on the handle, ready to open the door. "Are you all right?"
"Can we just go inside please?" She asked irritably.
Wordlessly, Charlie opened the door and gestured her in, closing the door after himslef.
Katie followed him into the kitchen.
"You hungry?" He asked.
Katie shook her head.
Closing the cupboard, Charlie looked at her. "Ok, what's wrong?" He asked, exasperated.
Katie's eyes darted to the floor. "Nothing," she mumbled.
"That's bullshit and you know it." Charlie's voice was adamant but gentle.
Katie sighed. "I guess we were just a little too close for comfort with my father tonight."
Charlie nodded. "Ok."
"I'm really tired, do you think we could crash?"
"Yeah. I'll grab you some clothes. I speak from experience when I say that jeans aren't the most comfortable things to sleep in."
Katie cracked a smile. "Ok, thanks."
~*~*~
"Hey, Katie?"
"Yeah?" Katie sat up.
"What did you mean by Dawson and Joey? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they in love with each other or something?"
Katei smiled. "Yeah. Or they did anyway. They don't love each other any more. It's just -- them being more than friends just complicates things even more for them. And besides," she added, "Joey's gonna hook up with Pacey."
"How can you be so sure? They're more likely to end up killing each other."
Katie laughed at the thought. "Yeah, right. I dunno, it's just obvious to me. Although, that might be because I was just in NC, in Wilmington. That's where they film." She smiled at the memories. "Once I'd decided to change my life for the better, I spent a lot of time hanging around the town. After a few weeks I really bonded with Michelle-"
"Who's she?"
Katie rolled her eyes. "She plays Jen. Anyway she happened to accidentally slip a few little... script secrets."
"Cool." Charlie said.
"Mhm." She replied. "Night Charles," she yawned.
"Yeah, night." Charlie closed his eyes.
