The Way We Were

Chapter 2: The Only Girl…

Anything in is a memory

A.N- I do not own Dawson's Creek so don'tsue me

Set after Pacey and Joey hung up the phone in the season finale. They get a letter from Capeside High for a reunion of the class of 2001 to say good-bye to Jen one last time.

But will unsolved feelings be revealed?

Joey sat in her office at work just thinking about when she had to kiss Pacey for Dawson's movie.

: "Look, I know what I saw. It was big. And it was ugly. And it attacked me. And it's still out there. Just waiting" Joey said in character

"I may not believe you, Stephanie, but I believe in you." Pacey said leaning in to kiss her.
"Uh, uh" Joey yelled backing away from Pacey

"What! What! Come on! " Pacey yelled annoyed
"Cut!" Dawson yelled from behind the camera

"Sorry, Dawson. He is just too repelling." Joey apologized

"Joey, you're gonna have to kiss him." Dawson told her

"I cannot, and will not kiss that cretin." Joey protested

"It's a movie. You're playing a character. It's not Pacey you're kissing." Dawson said trying to persuade her to kiss Pacey.

"So he's a sea serpent from the deep. Cite the difference." Joey replied to him angrily

"But you're not aware of his evil alter ego. You're in love." Dawson told her …

Joey sat there laughing at the thought of this memory now she really was in love with Pacey more than anything and she would do anything to kiss him. Suddenly she was taking out of her trip down memory lane when Beth a friend she worked with opened her door yelling " Hey Jo, Want to go for lunch." Um… Yea sure I'll be right out I gotta call Pacey really fast" she replied. "K" Beth said walking out the door "I'll meet you down stairs"

Joey picked up her phone and called Pacey cell today he was doing work over the phone since he couldn't be at the Ice House. Joey sat there waiting for Pacey to answer the phone. "Hello" Pacey said into his cell phone "Hey, it's me" she said into the phone smiling his voice always made her smile. "Hey, Sarah I was thinking you could come over later since my wonderful girlfriend won't be home" He joked. "O, really who is this Sarah girl so I know where I can find her to beat her down" she laughed. "Well, I was going to break up with her and I still will if you would tell me what time you'll be home" he said into the phone. "I'll be home around 8:30, " she said sweetly. "Ok, I got to go, baby I love you" Pacey said in a bit of a hurry. "Bye, I love you too." She said hanging up the phone.

At lunch

"So…" Beth said, " You and Pacey are so cute together…the only thing is your finger could use an engagement ring." Joey just looked at her trying to hide the smile on her face she was wondering about her and Pacey getting married. "You know, Beth, I am not going to rush Pacey into anything he's not ready for "she said trying to sound convincing. Beth tried to hide the smile on her face "I am not telling you convince him to propose I am just asking if you're expecting an engagement any time soon." "No, Well I don't know, lets just say if Pacey proposed I would be surprised but extremely happy." Joey answered looking down at her plate.

8:40pm Joey's just getting home

"Hey, Pace, you will not believe what Beth said today" Joey said walking in the apartment with her back turned. She turned around to find about a hundred of candles lit and the lights dimmed with Pacey in a suit standing next to the CD player. Her mouth dropped as Pacey hit the play button causing "For Crying Out Loud" by Meatloaf to play. Pacey danced around lip-syncing to the words playing.

I was lost till you were found
But I never knew how far down
I was falling
Before I reached the bottom
I was cold and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning
On the edge of the ice field

And the now chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded levis bursting apart
And don't you hear me crying:
Oh babe, don't go
And don't you hear me screaming:
How was I to know?

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where I don't have to stay

And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love you

Pacey turned down the music and came closer to Joey as he said; " Jo, I love more than life its self" You are the only girl who can make me feel like I am not some worthless person."

I was damned and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling
In the chains of my master

I could laugh but you could cry
And I never knew just how high
I was flying
Ah, with you right above me

And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

Played softly in the back ground

"Joey, you are the only girl who can make me feel like I am the luckiest person to be alive," he said to her

Joey just stood there in shock of what was happening

For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love your
For crying out loud
You know I love you

For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
And my oh my
For that I thank you

For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
And don't you know
For that I need you

For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
For finding me a highway and driving me home
And you gotta know
For that I serve you

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
And all in all
For that I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh lord
For that I hold you

"Joey, you are the only girl in this whole world that can give me butterflies to this very day and second." He said to her as his voice sounded like he was about to cry. "So Joey Potter the girl I love" he got down on one knee and opened a black velvet box to reveal a diamond engagement ring "Will you marry me?"

Joey took a deep breath and said smiling with tears streaming down her face "Yes, Yes" Pacey got up hugging her and kissed her they were both crying. "I love you, Pacey," she cried in joy

Ah but most of all
For cryin' out loud
For that I love you

When you're crying out loud
You know I love you
