So I thought I would introduce myself to start off. My name is Heather and
I love Dawson's Creek... Unfortunately I only own the characters that I
make them out to be. Depressing really. Also, I apologize for all of the
typos; my computer's spell check wasn't working. DARN YOU WINDOWS!! So
anyways.... If anyone took the time to read the first one, thank you and I
would really like to know what you think. Even if it's the worst thing
you've ever read I would love to hear how I could do better or what you
think should happen. So without further delay I give you:
Chapter 2
Waiting around at their usual spot Joey glanced at her watch. 'He wouldn't forget' she told herself. 'He knows every year on this day to meet me here and how much I need him to be here' she looked off the hill down at the town. This was their spot for this occasion.
1 hour later....
She slowly wiped away her tears and stood up wiping the dirt off her pants. 'He forgot'
"Welcome to the Ice House. Can I start you off with a drink" Joey said as sweet as she could muster to the fiftieth customer that day. She didn't even look up from her notepad as she waited for their reply.
"Well" At the sound of his voice her eyes shot up "I would like a coke please."
"Pacey Witter is actually buying something? Where's the cameras" she said pretending to search around for them. "Because you... never buy anything here. At all." she didn't realize how cold the last part came out but she was still a bit angry because he didn't even acknowledge that he forgot.
"Yes Joey I am." Pacey said taken back by the sudden outburst "I have actually earned up enough money to pay for the perfect meal for two"
Looking at the table Joey only saw Pacey sitting there. Maybe he was trying to get her forgiveness by buying her something to eat "Excuse me, two?"
"Yeah." She started to get her hopes up "Me and Andie. She is just in the ladies room freshening up. It's her birthday today, and I wanted to make this day absolutely perfect for her."
"Oh." 'Is he trying to kill me?' "Well, that's so sweet of you Pacey. She deserves it."
He noticed her change in expression but before he could say anything Andie was back.
"Hey Joey." She said excitedly
"Hi Andie. Can I start you off with a drink?" she said as well as she could.
"Um. An ice tea please"
"Okay I will be right back with your drinks, and then I will take your order" She said walking away
"Wow Joey really gets into her job." Not taking his eyes from Joey Pacey watched her tuck the strands of lose hair behind her ears, and then filled up the two glasses. Her expression showed that she was about to break down and cry. "Yeah"
3 days later.....
"Heya Dawson. What's up?" Pacey said walking into his room
"Just watching the rough cut of my movie" he said not taking his eyes from the television screen as he sat on the floor right in front of his bed "How 'bout you what are you up to?"
"Surprisingly I am up to nothing. God, I swear this town gets duller by the day. You know the last breaking news and gossip of this quaint little town was about yours truly?"
"It's not that bad" He said clicking the pause button and shifting his focus to Pacey "You know, we have had our share of fun times that were made out of the worst possible scenarios" Dawson rambled on, He just kept talking.
"So, anyways have you noticed Joey acting all different lately?"
"Actually I haven't talked to her in a while but she is still upset about last week." Noticing his confusing he questioned "You do remember what last week was don't you?"
He was drawing blanks
"Pacey. Last week was the 3 year anniversary of her mother's death I can't believe you forgot"
Un-able to speak he just sat there with his mouth partially opened trying to speak but only noises were heard "Um, I uh... I gotta go Dawson. Talk to you later" he said hurriedly as he climbed out the window 'I gotta make this up to her' he thought.
When he got back to his house, Pacey flipped through his photo-album. Most were of Andie and him, Dawson with Jen and Andie and him, Andie and Jack, and when he came to the last picture he came to a startling realization. There was a picture of the two couples in front of the creek, the day of Jen's birthday. Jack had taken the picture, and as he looked in the background a pang of guilt and sadness ran through him as he noticed Joey sitting down in a chair watching the group with a heartbreaking expression plastered across her face.
Finishing up the last of the dishes Joey sighed. Finally, everything was done and she had the rest of the night to do whatever she pleased. She wiped her hands dry and on a towel after she let that water drain. Sitting down she looked up at the clock. It read 6:30 p.m. She then picked up a book and began reading. But her short time spent reading came to an end when there was a pounding noise coming from her door. She opened it to see an extremely upset Pacey on the other side.
"Oh my gosh, Pacey are you alright"
"No." he said stepping in and embracing her in a tight hug.
This caught Joey off guard, and she didn't quite know what to do but hug him back. As soon as she did she felt the butterflies.
Finally letting go of her, he looked down at her with sad eyes. "Can we sit and talk?"
"Um, sure. How about you go and sit down and I will go get some coffee. Sound okay?" she looked at him a bit worried.
"Yeah... sure" he said slumping down on her couch.
Five minutes later Joey came back with two cups of coffee and handed Pacey a cup and sat down next to him. They sat there in silence sipping at the mugs until Joey broke the silence "Do you wanna talk about it?"
He looked up at her and set his cup down on the end table. He grabbed both of her hands in his and looked straight into her eyes "I am so sorry Joey. I can't even begin to say in words how truly sorry I am."
She looked at him confused "Pacey what are you talking about?"
"Jo, I am so sorry for abandoning you these past few weeks, I'm sorry I haven't been around and when I am it's with Andie but mostly...." His eyes started to cloud over "I will never in my life forgive myself for forgetting. I have always been there for you. Always. Even when we hated each other I was there for you. But last week I wasn't. God damnit. Once again, I do the same Pacey thing I always do and I forget the most important thing. I'm such an asshole Joey. I was just so happy when I got together with Andie that I blew you off and forgot about your mom. I would have come sooner. A lot sooner, but I didn't know how to say these things Joey"
He looked up at her as tears started to fall from her eyes "Jo. I know I have hurt you a lot, but would it be asking too much if we could like... I don't know. Be friends?"
She smiled gratefully and sniffled her tears away. He looked so much like an innocent kid who got his favorite G.I. Joe action figure broken. She couldn't help but smile "I would love that Pacey"
He smiled gratefully and leaned in to hug her, as she did the same "Great so do you want to go to our spot eat some candy and talk about it. Like tradition." He looked at her face that was smiling as she nodded a yes.
"You know I would" she said leaning in to embrace another hug.
"Oh yeah Potter?"
"Mmmmhmm" she said releasing her loose grip around him to look at him
"If anyone asks, I didn't grovel four your forgiveness. Deal"
She let out a slight chuckle. Pacey. "As long as we agree that I didn't hug or come in any bodily contact with you"
It was his turn to laugh. "Ahh, Potter you know you want me"
'More than you know' she thought "Yeah, when hell freezes over and pigs fly"
