Chapter 3- Regrets
"What's wrong Bess?" Dawson wasn't expecting this as his welcome.
"Nothing… everything…" Bessie was trailing off into a world of her own when she noticed that Dawson was still at her doorstep.
"Oh, sorry. Yes, Joey's here, come in I'll be right back. Make yourself comfortable on the couch." Bessie put on a fake smile and headed to Joey's room.
"Jo?" Bessie opened Joey's room. She was still on her bed crying.
"Why does he hate me so much Bess? What did I do wrong? I mean all I did was love him!" She was crying even more.
"Why does who hate you Jo?" Dawson had heard the crying and he got up to investigate.
"I'll be in the other room." Bessie wanted to get out of there fast. Things were about to get ugly.
"Jo? What's going on?" Dawson felt lost. He was not only on a different page, but different book too. He walked into the room and sat on the foot of her bed
"Oh. Hey Dawson." Joey grabbed onto him and hugged him as if she let go he would disappear, but that didn't stop her from crying more.
"Jo just tell me, what's wrong?"
"It's just… nothing… it's nothing Dawson." Joey felt so safe in Dawson's arms, like he was always going to be there to help pick up the pieces.
"This is not nothing Jo. Just tell me dammit!" Dawson was very eager, he didn't want to be in the dark anymore.
"It's just that… well… Pacey… he… kind of broke up with me and crushed my heart in the process." Joey buried her head in his shoulders as a new batch of tears came. She was far from getting over Pacey, if ever.
"Is that true Jo? Did Pacey break your heart?" Dawson was filling up with rage towards Pacey. Not only had he taken Joey from him but now he had to crush her and ruin her.
"Yes Dawson. It's true…" She was so quiet that Dawson could barely hear.
"I'll be right back Jo. I have to go do something." All you could see was rage in Dawson's eyes; rage towards Pacey. How dare he do this? HOW DARE HE?
"Okay. But Dawson…"
"Yeah Jo?"
"Please come back? I really need you."
"Of course I will Joey… see you soon." And with that Dawson left in pursuit of Pacey.
Dawson sped over to Pacey's house and stopped the car abruptly. He slammed the door and stomped up to Pacey door and banged on his door waking him up from his slumber.
Pacey opened the door very surprised to see Dawson.
"Dawson, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I came back to see Joey over spring break only to find her in pieces with a broken heart which you just had to break."
"What is your problem Dawson? We just don't work okay?"
"No it's not okay. It is never okay to do that to Joey. To my Joey."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what it means Pacey. Joey is mine, you just stepped in and ruined it and now she will never be the same Joey Potter again. You've broken her. She will never be the same."
"Mind your own business Dawson." Pacey tried to close the door but was stopped by an angry Dawson wanting revenge.
"Oh but this is my business." And just like that, Pacey was on the ground after Dawson had punched him.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Pacey was really mad now, seeing the blood from his mouth and nose.
"YOU ARE MY PROBLEM PACEY! YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN!"
They were in the middle of a fight when guess who? Joey came to break up the fight.
"What are you guys doing? Dawson, get off of him!" She pulled Dawson away long enough for her to get in the middle of them.
"Jo move!" Dawson was ready to tear Pacey to shreds.
"NO! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR STUPID FIGHTING OVER ME!" She just stared at them then began again, much quieter.
"I told you once and I'll tell you again. No one person is worth this; especially not me."
After this proclamation Joey found herself unable to keep herself up and fell to ground. But before she hit Pacey had grabbed onto her.
"Jo are you alright?" Pacey was so close to her. She hadn't been this close since they broke up. She wanted to kiss him so badly, to have everything be back to normal.
"I'm fine Pace. It's just… well, I don't eat very much. I'm not all that hungry. And I don't drink very much too. I haven't had a decent meal since…" she couldn't bring herself to say it but everyone knew; since the breakup. She was a wreck.
"You should rest. You can crash here on the couch for tonight."
Dawson just looked on in awe. How can too people who have just broken up show so much compassion for one another? He didn't get it.
"I think I'm just gonna go back to the B&B and sleep there. Are you sure you'll be alright Joey?" Dawson was very concerned for Joey. She was his everything.
"Yeah. I'll be fine. Thanks."
"Don't mention it." He showed a small smile and made his way back to his car and made his way back the B&B.
After Dawson left the only people that were left was Pacey and Joey. They were so close to each other. They didn't know how to act around one another. Joey decided to end the silence.
"Hi."
"Hi."
