Chapter 14
Pacey POV
I open the door to my apartment. Suddenly is seems huge and empty again. I was still reliving Kat… I mean Joey telling me that she had lied to me. She had even lied about her name. Plus she used me for my money, and stupid me I actually thought that she needed my help. I must have a hero complex. I'm attracted to psychos. The phone rings breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Hello," I state, not really wanting to talk to anyone.
"What happened?" Jen asks.
"What are you talking about?" I question back, emotionally and physically exhausted. I didn't want to play games.
"At the restaurant, news travels fast," Jen replies.
"Katie a.k.a Joey was lying to us the whole time. She never had amnesia. She was just using me for my money and as a place to stay," I answer.
"Oh Pacey, I'm," Jen says but I cut her off.
"If one more person apologizes to me today I swear," I say getting angry again.
"Pacey," Jen says sincerely.
"I just… was falling for her, and it was all based on lies," I state calmly now, a tear was slowly falling down my face.
"I know Pace. It'll be okay," Jen says reassuringly.
"Yeah I guess. I'm going to bed. I have to be into work early," I utter.
"Don't do that to yourself again," Jen declares.
"Don't do what?" I ask, closing my eyes.
"Through yourself into work, the way you did after Andie died. It will hurt more than it helps," She says.
"Well it hurts now so what do I care. 'Night Jen," I say as I hang up the phone. Another woman kept secrets from me, and again I end up the one that's hurt.
