LAST CHAPTER
Pacey walked in circles outside the emergency room tears flowing from his once beautiful blue eyes that were now a dark gray. "Why is it taking this long. She should bw outta there by now."
"Pace" Jen came over the him resting a comforting hand on his arm. "Pace sweetie, come here sit down and let me get you a coffee." But he shrugged her off and continued to pace the floors. She let him be for a while and after about five minutes Jen came back coffee in hand and smirked.
"You're going to leave a circle on the floor if you keep that up" she tried to lighten the mood but failing miserabley.
"I don't care if I leave a fucking hole in this God Damn hospital!" he screamed punching a nearby wall than shaking the throbbing sensation in his knuckles. "Joey is in their she could be dying and this is all my fault." He dropped to his knees crying freely again ans Jen rushed over to him hugging him. "how am I supposed to live without her Jen. I just ma as well die along with her. And-" but was cut off by Jen's shushing and placing a finger over his lips.
"Now you listen to me Pacey Witter. Joey is a strong girl. I mean she put up with your ass all these years." She smiled causing him a slight chuckle "She's not going to die. And neither are you. She is going to make it and you to are going to grow up and have pretty babies who live in Capeside. I promise you everything will turn out for the best." She gave him a warm motherly smile and wiped away one of his fallen tears. "Now drink your damn coffee." She said handing him the cup.
Seconds turned into minutes ,and minutes into hours and still no word on Joey. Pacey tried numerous times to get a reply from a doctor but was never received one.
"Excuse me doctor you have my" but he was cut off from the doors swinging shut.
"PACEY!" Dawson yelled running up to Pacey who was staring blankly at the doors.
"What happened is she alright"
"I DUNNO, NO ONE WILL TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS DAMN HOSPITAL. WHY CAN'T I KNOW IF SHE'S STILL… still alive Dawson. What am I supposed to do?" he said looking like a small child at that moment.
"My best advice is to not give up. Have a prayer. There is still hope." He said patting his friend on the back.
Andie came storming up to Pacey tears in her eyes. "Pacey is she okay?"
"No, she isn't okay Andie she could be dying right now."
"Oh my god. Um Pace, there's something I gotta tell you. But you might wanna sit down."
She lead him over to a quiet corner with two lonely chairs. As he sat down her purse fell dumping all of its contents out on the floor. She quickly retreated to grab them up as he grabbed up her keys he stopped dead in his tracks. You could have heard a pin drop at the silence. "You….. it was you." He said staring down at one key chain in particular that had the Mercedes logo on its front "You hit Joey" he spoke venom as she burst into tears.
"Please hear me out."
"Why? Because you got jealous after witnessing me and her make up?"
"God no Pacey. That's not it at all."
"Oh really than what is it I would really like to hear what you have to say about this" He said standing up.
"I thought…." She spoke but her voice suddenly softening. " I thought I hit an animal. But than I saw you running after the body and I just knew. I got freaked and I split."
"Why couldn't you have stayed. Tried to help or something. Gosh Andie, she might be on her death bed right now. And you 'split'. Get out of my face."
"Pacey please" she spoke trying to grasp his arm but failed as he shook her off. "I've already told the poilice the truth. We are going to have a trial. To wait it out and see if she will press charges or not."
"Well you better hope she's alive to press charges" he said storming away from her.
All his thoughts were drowned out as he walked into her room. She looked so much at peace. He continually cried as he looked at her sleep-like form. She never deserved any of this. Maybe if he had said forget about the purse. Or if he had come back the next day, she could be out with him having the time of their lives. Maybe…
He walked over to the bed and looked down at her. Counting the cuts on her once rosey cheeks and beautiful face. He could never forgive himself for this. He brought a chair over and kissed her forehead and grasped her hand. "Joey.. my sweet Joey." He paused letting tears flow like he had never cried in his life flow. "Joey. I am so sorry. Believe me. This is all my fault. But I need you so much. You can't leave me. Okay? I mean what will I do without you? How will I live. I mean I know I'm not an adult by any means but you're the one I want to be with for the rest of my life"
He calmly brushed the blood soaked hair from her face "Please don't leave me."
Walking through the grave yard was always a scary thing for Pacey. He had nightmares for days after he buried his great aunt Martha. And now being here opened the gates to his horrors. It had been two years since that night. That one night that shaped to rest of his life.
Dropping the flowers he smiled and touched the gravestone. "I'll never forget the things you tought me. You words will remain with me for all time."
He stood up and backed away. Suddenly his phone rang "Hello? Oh… hey Dawson. I'm justing visiting an old friend."
He looked back down at the gravestone which read:
"William "Bill" Patterson. A good friend and lover. Lies next to a one Camille Maxime."
He smiled and walked away from the grave yard to go see his one true love. Joey. The girl he hated until she turned into the girl he couldn't live without. Only a mear few hours late she had awoken from her coma and he was right by her side.
He will always remember the look in her eyes as she spoke "You're hear. You waited"
And his reply "I would've waited forever"
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
The End.
A/N Thank you so much to everyone who has stayed true to this story and encouraged me to go on when I felt like quitting.
Love, Heather
