A Pacey Joey Tale: What if they Never said Good-Bye

Chapter.3.

You Can't Run from Memories, but say Yes to your Future

The sun came slowly across the Leery's houses grass, lightening up

the rooms. Pacey pulled up his hand to block the sunlight from his

eyes. He quietly not wanting to wake Joey got out of bed. Her grabbed

a sweater and went down stairs. The Leery house was quiet, he was

the only one awake. Pacey walked outside and laid down in one to the

chairs on the porch. He looked out onto the water and started to think

back to all the days Jen was here. The smiles, the laughs and the

good time.

Flashback

Jen sat in her Hospital bed. Pacey walked in with a tape.

"I found a tape that Dawson shot." Pacey laughed.

"And when does he want it back?" Jen asked as Pacey popped it in.

"About three years ago." Pacey sat down on the bed beside Jen as the

movie played. Pacey and Jen laughed through-out the whole thing.

Once it was over Pacey shut it off and turned to Jen.

"I'm getting so angry, I don't want to. I don't want to die. I don't want

to leave my daughter. What will happen to you three, I just I don't

want to die. Pacey I don't want to go." Pacey had tears welling up in

his eye, as he took Jen in his arms.

"Nothing will happen to Amy. She'll grow up to be as beautiful as you,

if she's lucky. Don't cry Jen. It will all be okay."

Jen kept sobbing into Pacey's shirt, as Pacey questioned himself. 'Will

it really be okay?'

End of Flashback

Pacey sat there still looking out on the river, but something had

changed. He had tears rolling down his cheeks. Not bothering to wipe

them away he walked down to the dock. Sitting down he shivered. He

forgot to put the sweater on, it was Joeys so it wouldn't fit him

anyway. 'Joey'. He thought. Jen always wanted him with Joey.

Thinking of Joey he warmed up a bit. He shivered again as he thought

when they were filming Dawson's movie for class. He had to kiss Joey,

but she didn't want to. Now Joey wouldn't pass up the opportunity to

get in a little kiss. All of a sudden he felt arms around him. He turned

around and saw Jen. It was like the night she tried to cheer him up

about Joey when they first started going out. As Pacey shook his head

and looked into the water no one was behind him.

Joey woke up to an empty bed. The warmness of Pacey sleeping

beside her wasn't there. As she stretched and got up, she looked out

the window. Someone was sitting on the dock. It was Pacey. Joey

walked down the stairs quietly and out the front door, she saw the

distant look in his eyes. She saw his body shiver as the wind swept

over him. Joey walked up from behind him, and she notice he had

tears on his cheek. Realizing the look in his eyes she said.

"She's not gone Pacey."

As Pacey heard her, he turned around.

"Yes she is. She cried. Not in front of anyone, but me." Pacey stood

up.

"Your barely dressed, come here." Pacey opened his arms and rapped

them around her.

"You can't run from memories Pace." Joey shivered as more wind

swept across the river.

"I'm not running Jo. I just want to forget." Pacey whispered into her

ear.

"I know when someone is running Pace. I've done it all my life. Your

running and you've got to stop." Joey wrapped her arms around his

back.

"You should really get a shirt on. Aren't you cold?" Joey stated. Pacey

shook his head.

"Nope the only thing I'm worried about is if some peeping Tom is

trying to look at my half naked girlfriend right now." Pacey kissed her

neck.

"I should be more worried about my hot boyfriend with nothing but

boxers on." He laughed as she kissed his washboard chest.

"Are you going to run or face facts?" Joey asked titling her head.

"I've got to go out today somewhere. Then I won't run anymore." Joey

nodded her head.

"If you need me I'm here." Pacey nodded and kissed her fully on the

lips.

"I know you always have been." Pacey kissed her again and picked her

up.

"Back to bed we go Miss. Potter." She laughed and giggled. Pacey

carried her into the house and into there room. Pacey started tickling

her.

"Stop.Pacey.Stop.I'll.I'll.do.anything." Pacey stopped.

"Anything?" a devilish grin came across his lips. Pacey pinned her

down on the bed and started kissing her. She kissed him back rubbing

her hands up and down his chest. She pulled him down on her, still

kissing. They got under the covers without braking the kiss.

"Will you marry me Miss. Potter?" Pacey asked as he pulled out a ring.

"I won't run anymore. Not as long as I have you." Pacey saw Joey's

eyes light up as he put the ring on her finger.

"I'm always your Pacey. Of course I'll marry you." Pacey picked her up

and swung her around. He stopped as she wrapped her legs around his

waist.

"I love you Jo." Pacey kissed her.

"I love you too." Joey leaned back so they fell on the bed.

"Let's get some sleep Pace. Just a few more hours."

"Okay anything you want."

"I want to fall asleep in your arms." Joey leaned back into his chest

and closed her eyes. Pacey tightened his grip on her waist and fell

sleep.
