elwoodluver00034: Jen and Shawn just want them to be prepared just in case something should happen. I'm not saying it is or it isn't just preparations. Jen and Shawn evil plan is going into action, or is it? Enjoy :D

superfan24: protection, you know condoms. Having Dawson try to worm his way back between Joey and Pacey is the fun part. Jen Shawn action will come, they are still getting to know one and other, I think you'll be happy with what happens between them in this chap. Nikki, well I never liked her on the show, I may try to turn her in a female Dawson, only obsessed with Shawn. Or I'll let her stay with Danny, I don't really know you, I'm just making it up as it comes to me. Joey's ability, yeah I know it's taking a while but I had a plan, but I kinda changed my mind as I went on writing. I may try to put it in a bit later, it will come, but not now. I'm updating soon, now. I hope I can expect the same from your fic, you've got me hooked on it :D.

Chapter 12 – Confessions

After putting their stuff either in Shawn's room or the guest room the they decided they wanted to see Seattle, well actually Joey and Jen decided Shawn of course offered to be the tour guide and Pacey didn't plan on being stuck at Shawn's house alone. So here they were on the Space needle looking out over the city.

Joey and Jen were watching the city while Shawn took this opportunity to talk to Pacey.

"So how are you doing? I heard about Joey and Dawson." Shawn asked him.

Pacey sighted and looked at the beautiful brunette "honestly I feel…defeated, stupid and guilty." Pacey replied.

"How come?" Shawn urged him to explain why so he could understand and try to help his friend.

"Well Dawson is still in love with Joey, he hates me for trying to take her away from him. I know Joey is going to chose him, and I wonder why I even thought I would have a chance with her." Pacey told him.

"Well Dawson is being an ass, he'll come around, it he doesn't it's his loss not yours. Joey doesn't love him anymore Pacey. Whatever was between them is gone, on her part anyways. If you allow yourself to see it you'd see she's in love with you, not him." Shawn told him.

"It doesn't really matter, it's better if she's with Dawson, he's successful and will be able to take care of her. Me I'll be lucky if I finish high school." Pacey said chuckling without humor.

"Well with that kind of attitude you're never going to get her Pace. You need to be able to fight for what you want." Shawn told him. "Dawson isn't better then you are. Just because he may be successful doesn't mean Joey should be with him. The choice whom to be with is hers, not yours to make. Dawson doesn't deserve Joey from what I've seen of both of them. You do, whether you think so or not. You need to get over you insecurities, or you'll regret not telling Joey how you really feel for the rest of your life." Shawn replied.

Pacey looked at him then at Joey "It's not easy to think you deserve someone so beautiful, and smart as her when you've been told your entire life you're a loser and screw up no matter how hard you try."

"Pacey, I know growing up hearing that shit from your family must not have been easy on you but they were wrong. If you don't allow yourself to be loved then you let your father and everyone else who ever said something like that win. I know you're a strong person, you just have to tell Joey how you feel and she'll tell you the same thing as I am, that you do deserve her." Shawn told him.

Pacey smiled slightly "I'll think about it." he told Shawn then saw Jen walk up to them "here is your chance to have some romantic alone time with Jen" he said with a knowing smirk.

"Nice view, huh?" Pacey said coming up next to Joey watching the city of Seattle below them.

Joey looked up at him. "Yeah" she told him then added "look Pacey there is something you should know."

Pacey looked at her beautiful eyes and waited.

"I…we've been through a lot lately, and I know your not comfortable with me and Dawson becoming friends again but that's all there is between us. I don't have any other kind of feelings for him. I have them for…someone else. Someone I least expected I would develop these kind of feelings for, but somehow I've known for a long time too. Remember when we were 13 and my mom died…that night in your room." He nodded and Joey continued "I couldn't deal with the feelings I had for you. You were making me feel better and for a moment I forgot that my mother had just died. I just couldn't and didn't want to feel the way you were making me feel. So I pushed you away, I cut you out of my life as much as I could. I started saying real hurtful things in our banter and I'm sorry for that."

Joey looked at him pausing her speech for a moment then continued "I pushed those feelings I had for you away, locked them up so tight and far away as I could. Then my feelings for Dawson began after a while and as much as I thought I loved him he never once made me feel the way you did. I know you and my mom had gotten close and losing her was like losing a mother of your own, but then you lost me as well. And you were alone again, having only Dawson friendship. When you kissed me and I didn't kiss you back it was partly because of my feelings for Dawson but also because I was scared of feeling the way I did before after what I did for to you I was scared you would never ever be able to feel the way you did about me then. So I did nothing, despite part of me wanted to I did nothing and said nothing, figuring with rejection you could move on to someone who didn't hurt you as bad as I did. What I felt then I added to my tightly locked box in my head. Then our junior year started and you were there for me when I needed you the most and we grew closer again. Those feelings in the box started leaking out like my overreaction to you and Jen. I wasn't really aware of what it meant so I ignored it and tried to date someone else, A.J. but as you know it didn't work out to well. And then you kissed me again, and I wasn't strong enough to resist you. The lock to the box broke and all those years of bottled up feelings for you came out. I kissed you back. Then I got confused because you broke through my defenses and I let you get past and open that box. We were in quarantine by now and I admitted I didn't know what it meant, all those feelings I had for you but I knew I wanted to be near you to kiss you for you to hold me. Then the Dawson thing happened and I was confused again. But deep in my heart I've always know Pacey. You're the one I want to be with. You're the one I want, not Dawson. I more then like you Pacey, I think I'm in love with you."

Pacey was silent for a while then asked "You think or you know?"

"I know." Joey told him as she looked into his beautiful stormy blue eyes.

A large smile spread over Pacey's face and Joey's eyes lit up at that and smiled back at him, he then suddenly enveloped his arms around her and pulled her close for a kiss.

----------

Jen and Shawn looked at the two, "it's about time, still I would have thought Pacey would make the first more, not Joey." Jen said to him.

"Well Pacey did make the first move if you think about it. when they were 13, when they were 15, and in junior year, well he would have in junior year if we didn't get taken. But in quarantine he was the first one again." Shawn replied.

"Yeah, but Joey was the first to tell him how she felt." Jen told him, then added "anyways I guess we don't have to go through with phase 2 after all."

"I guess not." Shawn replied.

"Listen, there is something I want to tell you…about me, my past. Something I haven't been able to tell you before because I've been afraid of your reaction." Jen told him as she took a seat in a bench up there (dunno if there is actually a bench there or whatever since I've never been to the Space Needle, or Seattle, or the USA for that matter).

Shawn took a seat next to her. "what is it?" he asked her confused as to what it could be.

"I haven't always been me, something happened to me when I was 12, I can't remember what it was exactly. It changed me, I began drinking, doing drugs, partying, having sex and God knows what else, I've probably done. I don't remember everything. My first time was with a guy a lot older then me maybe 18 or 20, I don't even remember his name. this continued until I was 15 and my parents caught me having sex in their bed with am older guy. I was shipped off to Capeside to live with my grandmother. That's when I tried to change, and I did. I became who I am today."

Shawn was silent for a moment then looked at her "I'm not sure how to reply to that Jen. But I do know it doesn't change anything. Your past is your past, it's part of who you've become but that's it. I care about you now and I don't care what you've done before we met…I just care about you." He told her.

Jen smiled and hugged him "that's a good reply" she told him.

Shawn smiled and put his arms around her holding her close to him "I thought so."

----------

Pacey and Joey pulled back and looked into each others eyes smiling. "Oh, just in case you didn't get that, miss Potter. I love you too." Pacey told her as he kept his arms around her holding her close to him.

"You'd better, or I'd kicked you ass Witter" Joey said playfully.

"Is that right? What makes you think you can take me Potter?" he asked cockily.

"Well, first I do this." Joey said and started kissing him seductively.

"Then I run my hand over your chest like this" Joey said as she broke the kiss and ran a hand slowly and seductively down his chest towards the now large bulb in his suddenly tight pants.

Pacey groaned when she kissed him again her hand going lower, then she suddenly pushed him over and landed hard on top of him on the floor. Holding his arms beside him down to the ground, she straddled him. "And then I have you where I want." She told him smirking.

Pacey winced when he hit the ground completely off guard and surprised by her action. A grin then appeared on his face as Joey sat on him. He flipped them over so he was on top and their faces were very close to each other. He kissed her loosening the grip he had on her arms as the kiss turned passionate. Clicking and flashes distracted him and he and Joey looked at where it came from and noticed a Japanese tourist snapping pictures of them like crazy. Some other tourist looked at them. A bit embarrassed to have been caught like that he got off Joey and pulled her up with and extended hand that she took.

"Ok show is over people." Pacey announced to them and after a few second of watching them the tourists went back to watching the town.

----------

"Ok can we go now?" Joey asked Shawn and Jen who came up to them.

"Sure, it's almost dinner time anyways. Listen if you guys don't mind I was going to visit my cousin tonight." Shawn told them.

"Sure, are you going to…you know try to…get him back?" Joey asked him.

"I don't know, if there is a chance to get him back by it I might. But what if I make it worse instead of helping him?" Shawn asked.

"With Rossi you were angry, you didn't want to help him you wanted to hurt him. You don't want to hurt you cousin Shawn." Pacey told him.

"We'll be there with you." Jen reassured him, he smiled gratefully at his friends as they left the Space Needle.

Finally a a bit fluffy chapter for P/Jo! Enjoy it while it lasts won't be long before trouble and dramastarts brewing again. Still I thought I'd give you this. Review, please.
