The Way We Where

Chapter 4: There are no buts

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?

" I think that was the most boring flight I have ever been on" Joey said getting her bag off the luggage check. "I know" Pacey said taking her bag from her while grabbing his own "I mean I guess I really didn't know what to talk about I mean last time I was here she was alive " he sighed. Joey just looked down she didn't know how to cheer Pacey up ever since Jen died he just ignored anybody who talked about her. Joey never really understood why Pacey was upset more than any body about Jen's now. Jack was still upset with I but didn't try to ignore the fact she was dead. Pacey and Jen were close but not as Jack and Jen what happened between them she would think constantly.

Pacey just kept walking he knew what Joey was thinking he looked over at her as she looked down at the floor walking thought the airport. He knew she was wondering why he always tried to ignore the fact of Jen's death. How could he not know what she was thinking? He loved her he could read her like a book. He just kept walking and remembered the time he spent with Jen in the hospital.

…"Because friendship can really never be over- or underestimated," Jen says, before staring to cry. "Oh, god, I hate this. I'm so angry," she cries out. "I'm so angry, I don't want to do this. I don't want to die. I hate this. Remind me never to do it again. That's not funny. I'm losing my sense of humor," she wheezes.

Pacey just looked at her as she went on

"I don't want to leave my daughter. I don't want to leave her alone," Jen sobs.

Pacey looks her right in the eye and promises that Amy is not going to be alone. "Saturday night has me and Amy's name written all over it. We will take care of your baby, I promise you," he assures her…>

This is why Pacey couldn't stand the fact of remembering Jen's death because she didn't deserve to die she had a life, a daughter who she would give anything for and was the most kind hearted girl in the world. The truth was he really hadn't spent any time with Amy and this was his main plan for this time in Capeside to keep his promise to Jen. Pacey opened his mouth to tell Joey about his promise to Jen but before he could he heard someone yelling out "O my God, Joey, Pacey I have missed you two so much." He looked over to see Bessie running over to Joey and hugging her tightly. She let go of her baby sister to grab Pacey so tight he could barley breath. "So what have you two been up to lately?" she said letting of Pacey and fixing her shirt. Joey looked over to Pacey who looked at her with a smile. "Well…" Joey said holding up her hand to show Bessie the ring "Pacey, Proposed." She finished smiling. Bessie screamed grabbing Joey in a hug tighter than before and let her go to grab Pacey.

At the Potter B and B

In the kitchen Bessie was talking to Joey as Pacey was playing Alexander in some Playstation game all Joey and Bessie new was a lot of screaming was involved.

"So how did he do it?" Bessie asked about the proposal " Well I got home and about a hundred candles were lit and the lights were dimmed. Joey started "And Pacey was in this suit I don't think I've ever seen him look so hot in my life" Joey explained "Than that song "For Crying Out Load" by Meatloaf played and Pacey was lip syncing and he started to dance around the room and acted like he had a microphone in his hand. Than he turned down the music and told me I made him feel like the luckiest guy in the world and was the only girl who could give him butterflies." Joey said with a smile at the remembrance of it. "It was so sweet" she finished "So Jo, how's the sex been since then," she laughed. Joey just looked down and mumbled, " We haven't done "it" a lot lately, ok." "Why? I thought since the engagement you would be in the mood a lot more lately" Bessie asked kind of in shock, "Unless, it's Pacey" Bessie said waiting for an answer. Joey replied quickly "NO, no, its just I have kind of been holding off " "Ok…" Bessie said before changing the subject.

Later that day when Dawson arrived Bessie invited everyone so they could have some fun together. "So, Dawson" Joey started as Pacey took his place next to her "Pacey proposed and I said yes" she said with a smile on her face showing him the ring. "I can't believe it, Congratulations!" he said hugging Joey than Pacey but could not help but feeling a bit of jealousy. "Thanks man" Pacey said being released from the hug.

Ooh, ooh...

Prayed for an angel

To come in the night

And shine some sweet light on me

Found only strangers

Then you came to me

Just when I'd given up

You gave me love

My world was tumbling down

You turned me around, baby

You...

You're some kind of miracle

You...

You're a miracle to me

Came over the radio.

"So you guys planning on having any little Witter children running around here soon" Gale said who had been behind Dawson the whole time. "Kids I would love but not anytime soon" Pacey said as Joey's face sort of fell but she put on a smile and said "Yea, for now I think only one Pacey is enough." Pacey leaned in and kissed Joey passionately and she returned the kiss before telling them she was going for a walk.

Sweet revelation

That look in your eyes

Your touch in the night

I found the sweetest salvation

In your arms, baby

Warm as the morning sun

Your tender love (your tender love)

Came and just lifted me up

Look what you've done, baby

Played before she walked out the door she walked to one of the docks before sitting down next to a teenage girl who looked like she was the age of 15 she had long brown hair and was tanned from the sun. She looked over at Joey and said, "Hi, I am Brook" "Hi Brook, I'm Joey but right now I am kinda trying to think." Joey replied trying not to sound rude. I know your trying to think I do the same thing here all the time see my problem is I like this one guy my best friend well I think I love him but the only problem is our best friend is in love with him and they use to date." Brook said looking out into the water. Joey just stared at her " Wow that sounds a lot like my old situation see I dated my best friend my "soul mate" as people called him. And our other best friend "jailbait" as I called him who I always fought with he until we started to get close started to get close in our third year of high school. Than I started to fall for him but I didn't tell him but he kissed me and at first I was mad but then I realized I really liked him. So we stared to date behind our best friend's back when he found out we broke it off. But I ended up sailing away with him in the end. But now I have a little problem and I don't know how they'll take it" Joey finished. " Did you end up with the "soul mate" or "jailbait"? Brook said still looking out at the water. Joey laughed at the question and answered " I ended up with "jailbait" and now were engaged but…" before she could finish Brook cut her off "Look if this guy loves you and you love him there are no buts, Ok" Brook answered sounding a little annoyed. "Your right" Joey said getting up to leave but turned back to Brook and laughed to say " Thanks you really know your stuff your a lot like my fiancé." "What can I say, I spend a lot of time out here" Brook answered before looking back at the water. Joey started to walk home again before turning back and looking Brook strait in the eyes and said to her " What ever you do don't lose the butterflies" Brook just looked at her and smiled before turning back around and Joey started walking again.
