So okay, it's been a while since I gave kudos to all of my supporters and
friends, so KUDOS! Also, please note that in part 31, Jo is in her trailer,
being sulky (as per part 30). Thanks so much to Toni, who is helping so much
with her many suggestions and insights. I started this story without a beta, but
I don't think I could continue writing it without her to push me along and offer
consistency pointers. I honestly never thought it would go this long, and about
6 parts ago, I told myself no more than 50. That ain't gonna happen folks,
'cause I got way to much going on here. Other than that, not much to say,
except:

Please don't sue me. I can't even afford my tuition.

Part 30
The Assistant
~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@


"Makeup wants you out of their trailer. They don't have the money to pay you and
can't understand why you're still here." She continued on her rant.

I know this. She's so annoying, I now know why she gets on Jo's nerves. I nod
along. The girl keeps talking randomly and I see Pacey coming.

"Witter!" I cut the assistant off.

He glances over and smiles.

The girl blushes furiously.

She's in love with him!?

This is going to kill Jo.

"What's up Lindley?" he asks, nodding briefly at the girl.

"Would you mind terribly accompanying me to the makeup trailer to kick some
sissy ass? They just booted me. Again." I smile.

He raises his hands in resignation. "Dammit! Andraia, I told you to take care of
that!"

"I know Mr. Witter, but they didn't believe me, and -

"Whatever. Let's go Jen. And Andraia, would you please head over to the set and
apologise to Jo and Dawson? I'm going to be late."

"Yes Mr. Witter." She says, scurrying off.

He shakes his head. "I was Pacey to her until I gave her a job." I can see it in
her eyes. I don't know why he hasn't yet. "Oh well. So how's set life treating
you Lindley? I mean, heck, you're staying at my place and I never see you!"

I laugh. "You know me. I can live anywhere. How's the shoot coming? I haven't
seen any cuts yet."

"Fantastic!" he raves. "Dawson seems flustered, but Joey - she's like a machine!
She's so focused." He wants to say something else. I wait. "Never mind."

We arrive at the trailer. "Not never mind, what's up?"

"She'll talk to the director but she won't talk to me!"

He looks so lost. I smile, and place my hand on his arm. "Give it time Pace, she
just needs time."

"What's going on with her? She's hiding in her trailer and I'm worried sick." He
says, raking his hands through his hair.

"We all are Pace, but trust me on this. Jack will get through to her. Just give
him time."

And keep what's her face.... Andraia away from her.

Part 31
Show me the Meaning
~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@~~~@

{So many words for the broken heart.}


I lost him.


{It's hard to see in a crimson love}


I love him.


{So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe}


I need him.


{Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun}




"I think I'm in love with you."

"You think or you know?"

"I know. I've known it since the moment you kissed me and maybe even before."




{Your every wish will be done}



"I remember everything"




{They tell me}




"Pacey is this year's Paris, and you have to go after him"




{Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart}


It's my fault he's gone.

I made him go.


{Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends}


I miss him.


{They never say forever gaze}


We were going to last forever.


{Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control}


I'm in love with him.


{Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me}


He's not here because of me.


{Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart}


He will always have my heart.


{There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go}




"You're it for me Josephine Potter. Never in my life am I ever going to hurt
you."

"Promise me Pacey."

"I promise. Andie and I were over a long time ago. You know that."

"Foreheads?"

"Always."




{Surrender my heart, body and soul}


I gave him up.


{How can it be you're asking me to feel
The things you never show}




"Show me Joey! Tell me! God - anything! Just help me understand why you're with
me and not Dawson. Help me believe that you're in love with me and not him!"

"What more can I do Pacey? Everything I am, everyday of my life - it's yours. I
gave you my body, my heart, my life. All of me is yours - ALWAYS - don't you
ever, ever forget that."




{You are missing in my heart}


I pushed him away.


{Tell me why I can't be there where you are}


I can get him back.

He's mine.


{Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are}


He promised.


{There's something missing in my heart}


I'm going to hold him to it.
