A/N: OK this is my second try at fanfiction. This is the ending that we never saw after the prom in season 4. Pacey/Joey POV Reviews are welcomed
Pacey and Joey are the last ones in the limo Joey and Pacey are looking out opposite sides of the window. Pacey replaying events that had happened prior. Cold by Crossfade is playing in the background.
Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in you
Things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high
Pacey's POV
"being with you makes me feel like I'm nothing"
Pacey looks over at Joey who is looking out the window. "Congatulations Pacey you managed to screw the one thing that ever made sense in your life up all in one sentence. God I wish I could just take everything back and just go back to when we were on the True Love. All I want to do is hold her and tell her I'm sorry." reaches for Joey's hand " you can't go back Pacey it's over now." quickly pulls his hand away before Joey notices
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Joey POV
" I always thought that Pacey and I would be together forever,I know that lately things have been hard between us I guess I should've seen this coming but I just thought that maybe this would pass and we'd be happy like we were on the True Love." Joey looks down and sees Pacey reach for her hand and then pulls away. " I never thought we'd end up like this." Joey quietly wipes a tear away.
To you I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now I can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
Pacey POV
" Ah...yes True Love that boat represented so much to me, and when I lost her in that storm I guess lost a piece of myself as well, and you could say that's when Joey and I started to spiral down, but you know it wasn't then. I'd say it's when we had sex and I told myself that our relationship would not change just because we had sex, but I guess as the old saying goes sex changes everything, as it changed us for the worst. Maybe if she had been honest with Dawson maybe things would've been good between us." shakes his head in disbelief " man what am I doing I can't blame her I mean if Dawson had asked me if I slept with Joey I'd probally lie too."
What I really meant to say

Joey POV
" maybe if I had told Dawson the truth would the out come be the same, I know I should've told Dawson the truth, I guess I was just so afraid of what his reaction would be. Once again Dawson finds a way to mess with my head. No it's my own fault we're like this." let's out a silent sigh and looks over at Pacey " I just wish I could be in his arms right now despite every horrible word he said to me tonight I still want to be in his arms. I guess it just wasn't meant to be." turns her head back towards the window.
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
Pacey POV
" man this is killing me so much to see her hurt so bad, and the thing that hurts the most is that I'm the reason why she's in so much pain. I just wish I could hold her and tell her everything is going to be ok, but I know it would be a lie cause everything is not ok it's just one big mess right now and I just want to fix it." Looks over at Joey and sighs
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
The limo pulls up to the B&B Joey is still looking out the window
" Miss we're here." the limo driver announces to Joey
Joey reaches for the door handle when Pacey reaches over and grbas her hand.
" let me walk you to the door." huskily
" I'd like that Pace." looks at Pacey and smiles
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Pacey gets out and opens Joey's door and walks her to the door. At the door there's an akward silence
" well I guess this is goodnight." Pacey akwardly states
" yeah...I guess so ( pause ) Hey Pace." softly
" yeah Jo?"
" would you stay with me tonight?"
" Jo...I don't think that would be a good idea right now."
" ok then." looks down at the ground
" well it's getting late I better go." looks at his watch
" yeah I better go in before Bessie starts to wonder where I'm at." nervously grabs the door
" see you at school tomorrow Potter?" Pacey leans over and kisses her check. " I'm sorry Jo." whispers is Joey's ear
" goodnight Pace." Joey walks in her house" I love you Pace." Joey closes the door
" I love you Jo always will." Pacey walks away
