Note: Thanks for the nice feedback everyone, enjoy the first part of this chapter, second part coming soon.

elwoodluver00034, paceyandjoeyfan4Eva: I speak English, Dutch and a little German. A French student who actually can speak English, those are rare, I've been to France a couple of times and I tell you those are rare. Although in Paris there are some who speak English there. But mostly not many people in France can speak another language then French.

I know, you'd think Joey would say something about it but no. She just let it happen, ugh Season 5 was just so frustrating, I didn't even see all of it but I did like the Jen/Dawson angle. In the beginning of the season anyways. Still Jen deserves better then Dawson. I hated Audrey/Pacey but I like Audrey's char besides that. Joey turned into a slut in Season 6, first Dawson then Eddie, then Pacey then Eddie again and finally Pacey. I mean seriously. I never even liked Eddie, and I was mad at Joey for choosing him over Pacey. Ugh, but she finally came to her senses and realized her true love in the end, I suppose that is something.

About the story, things are going to get bumpy again soon, read and see, that's all I'm saying:P .

Chapter 14 – Decisions part 1

They arrived back at the house where they could hear Susan Farrell on the phone talking excitedly.

"Oh my God, this is great!" Susan said through the phone.

"She must be talking to your uncle or aunt." Joey whispered to Shawn.

"Let's just sneak upstairs." Shawn suggested.

They were halfway up the stairs when Danny appeared at the top of the stairs with Nikki.

"What's going on?" Danny asked the 4 returnees.

"Uhhm" Shawn started thinking up an excuse.

"Nothing, just your mom excited about something." Jen told them.

"Oh, you know what about?" Danny asked suspiciously.

"No, but why don't you go find out if you want to know." Jen replied.

"You're hiding something." Nikki observed. "Come on Shawn, you can tell us."

"No he can't." Joey quickly said eying the blonde.

"Why?" Nikki asked.

"Because it's none of your business Nikki" Jen told her.

"But if it effects Shawn then it is my business because he is Danny's brother." Nikki argued.

"It does effect Shawn but I just have issues in people butting into our relationship. There, now you know the big secret, Shawn and I are a couple." Jen told Nikki and Danny and then to Shawn mentally "just play along"

Shawn put an arm around Jen and smiled at his brother and Nikki, "see how it isn't any of your business. Now I appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about it. Not even mom." He said looking at Danny.

Danny shrugged, he didn't really care that Shawn and Jen were together. Although it did gave him some relief that Shawn and Nikki wouldn't become a couple.

"Good, now let's go to your room." Jen told them and the 2 walked past Nikki and Danny to Shawn's room.

Joey and Pacey looked at each other amused then at Nikki and Danny and followed Jen and Shawn to his room.

----------

"Wow you two a couple, well it looks like we may have to change our sleeping arrangements. We can't have the boys trying something now can we Jen." Joey said half serious half jokingly. This because although she loved Pacey, he was experienced in the area of sex where she wasn't. She was scared of what would happen if they actually slept in the same bed together. This, not because she didn't trust Pacey to wait until she was ready but because well Dawson. She was afraid it would be weird and that she would feel guilty about Dawson because although she made it clear there was only friendship between them. She hadn't slept with Pacey in the same bed like she had with Dawson. And she was afraid if Dawson would find out it would hurt him more then she had already hurt him.

"Very funny Joey, but I think Jen and I can manage to sleep in the same bed as one and other." Shawn told her as he let himself fall unto his bed.

Jen smirked "well I don't know, I think you may be unto something here Jo. This way we can talk about the boys behind their backs."

"Have a girls night." Joey said smiling.

"Well I am astonished, Jo. Kicking your boyfriend out of bed for a girls night. Who would have thought?" Pacey said.

"Well Pace, I hate to break it to ya but I'm not Miss Jacobs, or Andie for that matter. You're gonna have to be patient." She told him and stuck out her tongue at him.

Pacey grinned "So you're already thinking about having sex with me, huh Jo?" he asked her.

'Oh it is so him to pick that up out of all that I just said to him' Joey thought then was a bit surprised to head Jen's voice in her head.

"Tell him you have but not with him, but with me." Jen told Joey with her mind.

"Of course I have thought about sex Pacey, but who said anything about having sex with you? I think having sex with Jen is going to be far more pleasurable then with you." Joey said to Pacey while hoping Jen knew what she was doing. She wasn't about to lose this banter battle with Pacey.

"I do have more experience then you Pace" Jen said and smiled amusedly at him.

"Well we could make it a trio." Pacey suggested with a wink.

"Face it Pacey, you suck at creating trio's. Just look at what you did with the snail project last year…4 years ago." She corrected herself.

"How was I supposed to know that was a carnivore snail?" Pacey asked her.

"Well they were not with the other snails for a reason Pace." Joey replied.

"Why are you even bringing this up? It's not like I'm going to eat you. Or Jen for that matter." Pacey said.

"No, but you might not survive what Jen and I plan to do." Joey told him.

Pacey just smiled the visual of Jen and Joey together playing before his eyes.

Joey punched his arm snapping him out of his daydream. "You're out jailbait, deal with it. Maybe you can go bond with Shawn."

Shawn being a guy was in a same kind of daydream state as Pacey had been a minute ago. Jen looked at him and rolled her eyes although a small smile was on her lips "Shawn!" she said loudly snapping him out of his thoughts. Shawn looked at her and shrugged "I am a guy, you know." He said in his defense.

"So it's settled then Jen and I have guestroom and Pacey and Shawn have his room." Joey said.

"Wait, what? I'm supposed to sleep with Pacey now?" Shawn asked.

"Or you could make him sleep on the floor or whatever, it's up to you. Your house, your room, your problem." Joey told him smirking.

Just when Shawn was about to reply Danny suddenly opened the door and said "Kyle is awake!"

Shawn put on a smile and acted surprised. "Really, that's great. He was still in a coma when we saw him. When did he wake up?"

"I think just after you guys left…unless, did one of you do something?" Danny asked.

"You're imagining things, they couldn't have done anything. It's a coincidence he woke up after they left." Jen projected her thoughts into his head as Danny's voice.

"What are you talking about, one of us doing something?" Joey demanded to know from Shawn's younger brother.

"Well I don't know. Maybe I'm just a bit freaked out, you know first with Orson Bailey then Shawn did something to a guy at school. But you're probably right, just a coincidence." Danny replied.

"But it's great news that your cousin is up and about." Pacey told him.

"Yeah it is. It really is. Mom says we're visiting him at home tomorrow." Danny replied.

"Great, can't wait." Shawn told him.

"Well I'll just leave you alone then." Danny said and left Shawn's room.

"Let's just hope Uncle Tommy isn't going to be as suspicious about it as Danny just was." Pacey said.

"Don't worry, I've got it handled." Jen told them smiling, she was getting good at controlling her ability and it seemed the more she used it the more she learned about it, at first it had been accidental, without control. Now she could feel the mind of the person she was projecting her thoughts into. She could even read the thoughts that were there when they weren't concentrated on her voice. Maybe it was because she let her doctor believe this week that he had already given her the check up when he hadn't. She didn't like needles in her body and had enough tests. So she acted much like now with Danny like the doctor himself was tired and under a lot of stress and forgot he had already given her, her checkup.

"I can see that, you're getting really good at that Jen." Joey told her.

"Don't worry Jo, your ability will reveal itself when it's time for it to be revealed." Pacey told her confidently and Joey looked at him as if he had read her mind too.

"Hey I can't read minds but I do know you." Pacey told her smirking.

"It's a good thing too Pace, because that would be bad." Jen told him.

"I can see it now, Pacey J. Witter as mind reader." Shawn said smirking.

"The world as we know it would never be the same." Joey joked.

"At least I would know what's going on in your head." Pacey said then thought 'especially on the subject of Dawson.'

"I thought you knew me so well you didn't need a mind reading ability to know what I was thinking." Joey told him confused.

"On some subjects I would like to know what is going on in that head of yours." Pacey replied.

"Oh boy." Jen said sensing what was coming.

"Oh not this again Pacey, Dawson and I are just friends." Joey told him.

Just then Jen's cell phone went off. "What now?" she asked irritated as she took the thing out her bag and checked who it was. "It's like he can read minds." She informed the group before answering.

"Dawson, I thought I told you not to call my cell again." Jen said through the cell phone.

"I know, I know but I really need to talk with Joey. Please Jen." Dawson begged her on the other end.

Jen looked at Joey and Pacey looking at her "Now isn't a good time." she replied.

"Why, what's going on?" Dawson asked not getting the hint.

"Just give the phone to me Jen." Joey said wanting to put an end to this.

"No don't give her the phone, give me the phone." Pacey said to Jen.

"I don't think that's a good idea Pacey. Just let Joey work this out with Dawson. She's in love with you, that's what matters. Not a phone call from an obsessed ex." Shawn told him and Pacey looked at Joey trying to read what she was thinking.

Jen looked at him "he's right Pace. Come, let's give them some privacy." She said as she gave the cell phone to Joey.

Although he didn't like it he did as Jen and Shawn said and let Joey deal with this on her own, they left the room.

"Jen? Joey?" Dawson voiced asked through the cell phone.

"I'm here Dawson. Listen, there is something you should know…Pacey and I are together. As in an relationship together. I love him Dawson, and he loves me." Joey told him and waited for his response.

"I know that's what you think Joey but whoever took you did something to you. Made you believe that. Don't worry though Joey. I'll find someway to bring you back, to save you from making a big mistake." Dawson said through the phone.

"No Dawson, no one did something to me…well they might have but not in that way. I love Pacey, I always have. You know our banter, that was just us dealing with out sexual tension for each other. I've loved Pacey first when I was 13, before I loved you. I couldn't deal with it then I put my feelings away. Locked then up, then fell for you. But our love was different, I don't yearn for your touch like I do for Pacey's. You never made me feel so alive like he does. I'm sorry Dawson but I'm not your soul mate. We're best friends, brother and sister maybe even but not soul mates. I don't know if Pacey is my soul mate, I'm too young to decide that. But I do know is that I love him with all my being. I need him like I have never needed anyone. Not even you. So if I have to sacrifice our friendship for him I may not want to and like it but I am prepared to do that. It's time to move on Dawson, let go of the past and look to the future. I see Pacey in mine, and I hope you will be in it as a friend but my future can survive not having you in it. As long as I have him, Jen and Shawn in it I know I'll be ok." Joey told him.

"This isn't you talking Joey, but I don't want to lose our friendship, or our love for each other. I'm coming to Seattle, and we'll talk about this." Dawson said so trapped in his own little world that anything not fitting that is ignored.

"That's not going to change anything." Joey tried to tell him.

"We'll see, bye Joey." Dawson hung up the phone.

Joey sighted as she hung up and put the phone back into Jen's purse. "Pacey is going to love this." She muttered annoyed with Dawson only hearing what he wants to hear and blocking everything out.

Part 2 coming soon, review please.
