Chapter 14

I Do's and Dawson's Confession

Everything is same as before

AN: Wow I never expected so many replies from people who wanted to know if this was a nightmare. I just want to make sure that everyone knows something this story is most definitely P/J. I wouldn't have it anyway else. I wasn't going to post this one till Monday, but for those of you who had to know, I decided to post earlier. Next chapter will be up Wednesday. I hope you like it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed

"I'm sorry Pacey, I don't love you, I love Dawson." Joey walks over to Dawson and begins to kiss him passionately.

"AAAAHHHHHHH" Pacey awoke from the most vivid nightmare he had ever had, in a cold sweat. He spent the entire night tossing and turning, having dreams similar to the first one. Finally he awoke and it was time to go get ready for the wedding.

"How do you know if you are going to pass out, because I think that is seriously a possibility here. I mean all those stories that you were telling last night. All of your friends that passed out at the last minute, or got sick at the alter. What if that happens to me?"

It was the day of the wedding and Pacey was nervous, more so than he had been in every dream he had last night. In the kitchen of the Leery's house with Dawson and Doug, Jack was outside setting up a few last chairs.

"Pacey what is making you so nervous, last night you were fine?" Doug was getting worried about Pacey, he seemed to have been upset by something last night, although he refused to talk about it.

"It's nothing Doug, I guess I'm just a little nervous, but who wouldn't be? Isn't that right Dawson?" It had become increasingly obvious to the two brothers that their friend was not all there; in fact ever since the bachelor party he had been acting quite spacey.

"Huh, yeah." Dawson once again gave his response that had become standard for him in the past few days.

"So last night aliens came and invaded Boston, they think the world is going to come to an end within the next couple days. What do you think about that Dawson?"

"Sounds good, I can't wait." Dawson says from some far off place.

"Dawson, what is the matter with you? Please tell me that you are over the whole Joey thing, I thought that we talked about this and straightened it all out. We're friends right, you said your feelings for Joey were long gone.

"Yeah, yeah I remember that"

Flashback, three weeks previous

"Dawson, listen I got to talk to you about something." Pacey had approached Dawson at the grocery store where he had taken a part time job for that summer after he was fired from Screen Play after the manager caught him "relieving himself" after watching some dirty movies.

"What do you want Pacey?" He had never really gotten over the fact that Pacey had stole Joey from him, although he thinking back on his own relationship with her, he never really enjoyed it.

"I think that we need to talk, so I'm just going to get it over and tell you. I'm sorry that you think I stole Joey from you but I didn't. She chose me, even though I am sure she loves you and does not want to hurt you. Neither do I. So I was thinking maybe we could attempt regaining our friendship." With all that said Pacey prepared himself for the inevitable explosion of anger that would more than likely happen once Dawson processed what he said. Surprisingly it didn't happen.

"Is that your subtle way of apologizing, because if it is, you need to work on it? But I understand what you are saying and I agree with you on the Joey thing and I would like to start rebuilding our friendship. That includes helping you in whatever way that I can with this wedding."

Relieved that Dawson had not tried to punch him or anything Pacey began to ease up. "That's great man, actually I did want to talk to you about the wedding. We wanted to know if you would be one of the ushers. (AN what is the name of the guys who are like the bridesmaid?? That's what I really mean) So what do you say?"

"I would love to be a part of your wedding." Dawson is overcome with a felling of joy and it feels very strange to him.

"That's great then. Well I guess I'll see you around."

**End Flashback

"So then what's the problem, because the way that you are acting you seem like you know something I don't, like maybe something about Joey? You don't do you?" The events of last night's dream keep coming back to him with vivid recollection.

"Of course I don't, I thought we covered that. Anyway it's something else."

"Well what is it, you can tell us."

"It's just something that's really been bothering me lately. Its kind of personal but I need to talk to someone about it. I don't think that I can keep it a secret." Dawson began to get nervous, he was struggling with so many issues, he had to get them out. "I have been having these feelings lately, I can't help them. They became really noticeable at your party at the strip club. God, I don't know how to say this, so I think that I'm just going to say it. I think, no I'm sure, Pacey there is no way that I could like Joey or have romantic feelings for her."

Throughout the entire conversation Pacey had been growing increasingly uncomfortable, now he was just freaked out. "What is that supposed to mean Dawson."

"Hey guys, whats up? How you holding up Pace?" Jack had just entered the room and was wondering why there was such a weird feel in the air.

"We were just about to find out." Doug, who had been silent throughout the entire conversation, spoke up.

"Okay so as I was saying Pacey I do not have romantic feelings towards Joey, because, well I have those feelings towards guys. I'm gay." Dawson was relieved to have finally got this off his chest; it was like a weight had been lifted.

"Wow, are you serious." Pacey was finally able to speak after he got over the initial shock.

"Yeah, I am."

"Well I guess I support you."

"Thanks man that means a lot."

Just then the priest, Father Donald, walks into the kitchen. "Excuse me gentlemen but Dawson, Doug, and Jack are needed to go in the back for the procession, and Pacey you have to come to the alter now."

"Okay guys well I guess it's time to get this started. Good luck Pacey." Doug ushered the two guys out of the room and Pacey left to go to the alter.

"Well it's now or never." Pacey thought to himself.

The procession began; Jack came down first with Jen at his side. Andie was next, accompanied by Dawson. The bride of honor, Bessie, and the best man, Doug came down the aisle next. Finally it was Joey's turn. She began the walk down the aisle on her father's arm, with a huge smile.

"Here it goes, I really hope this isn't a dream. I don't think that I could take it." Before he knew it Joey was down the aisle and he was walking up to her. This time when he kissed her, her eyes lit up, as he had never seen before. "This is it, it is the real thing."

Finally it was time for the vows. Joey and Pacey and decided to write their own so they took turns, starting with Pacey. "Josephine Potter, you changed my life. From the time that we were six we have been bickering partners, never letting up with the insults. I think that was where we started our relationship, first grade on the swings. You took the only swing that was left and I got mad at you. From then we have had some rough times and some good times, but we got through them. All those months that we spent, repressing our feelings. Finally you admitted that you loved me, and I will never forget the summer that we spent together. It was the best time of my life, up until now. I cannot believe that I will get to spend the rest of my life with you. I know that the things that we go through are not always going to be easy, but by helping each other we will be able to get through anything. Joey, you are my dreams come true."

Pacey Witter, you annoyed me from first grade and you continue to do so to this day. But that's okay because I realized that your annoying behaviors are the reasons that I was drawn to you in the first place. Pacey you get me so mad sometimes, but then you always do something that makes my heart melt and my knees go weak. You make me a better person and I love you for it. I cannot wait until I am Joey Witter because then I know that our love for each other will be permanent.

"Pacey you may kiss your bride." Father Donald stated.

The couple kisses an it is obvious to everyone in the crowd that the young couple is perfect for each other.

"I now introduce to you Mr. And Mrs. Pacey Witter."
