A/N: First of all I would like to thank anyone who is reading this story for actually reading it. Also this is gonna be the last post that I can post for 3 weeks because I'm going on vacation. But please do continue R&R

P.S ::I did in fact get the title from the song because I was watching a commercial for a love cd mix and that song played and I thought it would go perfect with Joey willing to wait for ever for Pacey.

&

DON'T HATE ME FOR PACEY. I promise I'll make him better. There will be much needed pleads for forgiveness. AGAIN

So anyways.....

Chapter 3
Oceans apart

Day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice

On the line

But it doesn't stop the pain

I see you next to never

How can we stay forever

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted

All the times

That I thought would last somehow

I hear the laughter and I taste the tears

But I can't get near you now

Oh can you see it baby

You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we came to survive

This romance, but in the end if I'm with you

I'll take the chance

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

(I'll be, I'll be right right here, oh waiting on you)

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I'll be right here waiting for you

Oh, I love you

Oh whatever it takes

Whatever you do

Where ever you go

I'm never leavin' you (I Will Be Waiting)

I'll be right here waiting, for you oh oh, you

Things had finally started to soothe over for the distance between Pacey and Joey. They would usually hang out after school with Dawson. It was finally back to the way things Joey had partially wanted. To be with the two people who have been there for her since diapers. But the other part, it was wanting more. So they hung out, and were friends that should be enough, at least for now.

-------

"Hey Andie" Pacey said sitting at the table next to her, but her eyes never left the table

"Your late' she said impatiently

"The movie was longer than I thought it would be I'm sorry" He said taking her much smaller hand in his

"Well, maybe if you weren't hanging out with Joey so much you wouldn't blow me off."

"Sweetie it's not like that"

"Oh really" she said angrily, but her tone greatly soften as she continued "are you cheating on me?" she asked quietly

"What?" He said standing up "I can not believe you just asked me that. I love you. I would never cheat on you. Never. Joey and I are just friends. Nothing more. I forgot about her mom, and I guess I'm trying to make it up to her"

"By giving her all of your dating time that could've been used with me"

"Andie! It's not like that. I swear. I don't know where this is coming from"

"Oh please!" She said standing up from the table and taking him outside so they could not be overheard by the guests at the Ice House "She's totally in love with you. I can see it by the way she looks at you. And sometimes, it's the way you look at her."

"Okay, granted we do have a special bond, but that bond is of friendship. And I seriously doubt that Josephine Potter would be in love with me. She hates me we fight constantly."

"Well, you always pick on the one's you love"

"I can not believe you still think this Andie. God damn, what do I have to do to make you believe that I'm not and won't ever cheat on you?"

"Don't hang out with Joey"

"What? Andie she is one of my best friends and you know that I can't just drop her in an instant and totally forget that I know her."

"Well, you did a great job when you started dating me" She said angrily. That one hurt Pacey. He never knew Andie could be this cold and ruthless.

"Andie.."

"Pacey call me when you can give me an answer"

"What are you talking about?"

"Me, or Joey" And with that she left leaving a very frustrated Pacey.

-------

"Hey Pacey" Joey said getting in stride with him along the streets walking to his work.

"Hey" he said not looking at her.

"Why didn't you return my calls?" she said looking at him but his eyes never left the ground.

"Been busy"

"Oh, well. So after work you wanna do something?"

"I can't"

"Am I going to get anything more than 2 words?"

He didn't respond. 'I can do this, I can do this. It's all for the best.'

"Okay" she grabbed his arm "What's wrong"

He whipped his arm out of her grasp and finally showed his face "Nothing Joey. Just leave me alone" 'I shouldn't have to do this. It's not fair to her. She has not done a single thing wrong here.'

"What did I do?"

"Nothing. You did nothing. Is that what you wanted to hear Joey? Your perfect you never do anything wrong. Are you happy?" That was harsh. Her face looked stunned.

"Can you just tell me what's on your mind?" Joey asked softly.

"No!" He screamed "I can't do this anymore. When ever we hang out something bad comes of it. I don't want that anymore. We were never meant to be friends. Always enemies"

This one really hurt Joey. The things he was saying were so out of line and untrue. Tears started to form in her eyes.

"Pacey" she said calmly.

"No!"

"Pacey!" She yelled. "If you don't want to tell what your deal is, that's fine. But don't pick a fight and take it out on me."

"You know what Joey. You think you've got me all figured out. I've got someone who doesn't think I'm a total loser, and who doesn't remind me every day how much I suck."

"Is this what this is about? Did you and Andie have a fight?"

"No! Stay out of it it's not your business. And while you're at it stay out of my life"

That one did it. Tears were falling freely off of Joey's face. Pacey's eyes were clouding over as well.

"Look at yourself Pacey. You're crying. I know you don't mean that."

"The only reason I started hanging out with you, was because I felt bad for forgetting about your mom." Lie.

"You're such a coward. I know you, and this is not who you are. Stop being a coward. You're my best friend other than Dawson. I.... I need you" she said.

"Well, I don't need you. I mean I really thought I did. But everything you are is in Andie. She is exactly like you, but more. I'm sorry" he said quite unsure of himself. Lie

"And this is what you want. To give up our friendship after 16 years over some girl you've known for what 4 months. God Pace, I thought I knew. The Pace I knew would never stoop so low, and would never go back on his friends."

"That Pacey died inside of me, a long time ago. This Pacey for a change is concentrating on himself right now, I've never been the selfish type before always concerned for others but I need a break." Lie.

"Alright." She walked up to him still crying and gave him a hug and kissed his cheek lightly "Goodbye Pacey" she quickly ran away crying fiercely

Pacey stood there as she left. He softly rubbed his cheek than fell to the curb crying openly to no one.

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you...
