Author's note: Okay, I have a lot of songs in this chapter so bare with me!
I love music. This chapter will be Joey and Pacey only pretty much. I hope
everyone has been paying attention to the little details I put in. a major
thing is going to happen between two characters in a few chapters. (Not
Pacey and Joey but stuff happens with them too.)
Thank you everyone for the reviews! They really mean the world to me.
Please keep reading.

Review: Last chapter the new group met and got drunk. Pacey and Joey told their story of their past. Pacey refused to explain why they broke up. We also found out that Jack was adopted. This chapter, we are a month and one week into the series and life so far is okay for Joey and Pacey, or so they thought. Jack notices some things and that turns life upside down. Can they handle it?
"Audrey, no! I will not go partying with you tonight! We've been here for five weeks and that's all we've done every night. All I want to do is curl up on the couch and read my book!" Joey said as she put on her red tee.
Audrey was sitting on the floor by the full length mirror putting on her make- up. "We have not gone out every day. Okay, maybe every other day but not everyday. We came on this show to have fun and that's what we're having. Well me at least." Audrey got up and faced Joey while putting away her make up. "Are you sure you don't want to come? All of us are going and you'll be home alone."
"You make it sound like a bad thing. I'm positive I don't want to go Audrey. Go, have fun but not too much." Joey said smiling.
Audrey walked to the beads that acted as the bedroom door and pushed them out of the way. She looked back. "Too bad, there are some major cuties at the parties."
"Audrey, I know. There are major cuties everywhere. I get to see them all because they spend the night with you and I'm kicked out of my room. I've spent four nights total in my bed so far."
"What can I say... the boys love me." Audrey smiled and walked out. A minute later Joey came out too.
Everybody was in the kitchen talking when Joey walked in. Dawson and Jack were sitting on stools by the counter and Pacey was drying dishes because it was his night to wash. Audrey was standing in front of him and he looked annoyed.
"What do you think about my outfit Pacey?" Audrey asked twirling.
Joey sat next to Jack on a stool and watched the scene before her.
"It looks nice Audrey." Pacey said drying off a spoon.
"Really? My butt looks good?" Audrey faced her butt towards Pacey.
Pacey rolled his eyes and turned around. "It looks fine."
"Why thank you Pacey. I have to go start my car now. Be back in a few." Audrey walked away swaying her butt so much that it looked like it would fall off. When the front door closed behind her everyone laughed.
"Wow, that girl is a card." Dawson said.
"I know. O Pacey how do I look? Why does she have to ask me?" Pacey said as he put away a pan.
"She wants you Pacey. I don't know why because that five o clock shadow has been here for a few days. She doesn't sound like that either." Joey said.
"O okay Miss know it all, first let me say many women find me attractive and secondly, let's see you do a better job at her." Pacey said pointing to where Audrey was standing.
"Okay Rob Schneider. Watch me." Joey got up and stood in front of Pacey.
Joey leaned on one foot and arched in her back so her boobs were extended out. Joey put on a sexy smile and walked towards Pacey shaking her hips. Joey slowly turned around and kept staring at Pacey.
"How do I look Pacey? Do you think I'll get laid tonight?" Joey said.
Pacey's mouth fell open and his eyes were huge. "Y...you look good."
Joey smiled and faced her butt towards Pacey and she smiled at him. "How does my butt look in these Pants?"
Pacey could feel spit forming at the ends of his mouth. He couldn't answer.
Joey smiled sexy at this and stood normal. "Told you I was good."
Pacey nodded then picked up a knife to dry. Jack got up and pulled Joey into the back hallway.
"Hey what's wrong with you Jack?" Joey said after he let her go.
"Joey, why didn't you tell me you liked Pacey?" Jack asked.
Joey laughed. "Me like Pacey. Come on Jack, I think you've had too much to drink already."
"I see it when you acted like Audrey for Pacey. You were really into it... like it was actually you."
"Jack, I've acted like her a million times for you and I always looked that way. I'm a good actress."
"You never gave me those eyes like you did Pacey."
"Whatever Jack. You're delusional." Joey walked away back into the kitchen.
Pacey must have wiped that knife a hundred times in a row. He couldn't get his mind off of Joey and the way she looked. It scared him that she could still have this affect on him. Pacey really enjoyed that little show Joey did for him; maybe a little too much. Let's just say some things wanted to come out and join in the festivities. Pacey had his eyes and ears in space. When Jack called his name from behind him he didn't even hear him.
"Pacey...Pacey...PACEY!" Jack screamed the last one.
Pacey heard his name and jumped. The knife he was holding slipped from his grip and slid down his hand causing a huge slit on his hand. The knife hit the floor with blood on it. Pacey moved his foot so it wouldn't get stabbed.
"Shit!" Pacey said.
Both Dawson and Jack were frozen in place. Blood was dripping on the floor. Pacey tired to put pressure on his cut but his finger pressed too hard and a surge of pain ran down his arm. Joey walked in and didn't notice Pacey at first. Joey looked up and she noticed the blood running down Pacey's hand and falling into the small pool already formed.
"O my god! Pacey what happened?" Joey asked.
"Ah, the knife slipped and sliced my hand." Pacey said trying to act cool.
"Put your hand over the sink and hold it. Jack, go get a small towel!" Joey said as she helped Pacey to the sink.
Jack came back a few seconds later with a towel. Joey grabbed it and quickly wrapped it around Pacey's hand. She held it tight to apply pressure to the wound. All of them watched as Joey held the towel so tight that Pacey winced every few seconds.
"Hold it tight. I'll be right back." Joey said to Pacey.
Joey got the first aid kit and took out gauze and medical tape. Joey opened the antiseptic wash and unwrapped Pacey's hand. The slit was deep but not deep enough for stitches. Joey grabbed Pacey hand and poured a small amount of wash on his hand. Pacey jerked.
"Ow! That hurts Joey!" Pacey said.
"You big baby. It's a little wash." Joey poured a little more then put the bottle down.
"See easy Witter. I have to wrap your hand up now." Joey gently placed the gauze over his cut and wrapped it in medical tape so it stuck tightly. When Joey was done she smiled at Pacey.
"All done." Joey said before kissing Pacey's hand.
Joey and Pacey just looked at each other and smiled.
"What happened here?" Audrey said as she walked in.
Pacey and Joey quickly separated and Pacey rolled his eyes.
"Dorko over here dropped a knife and it slit his hand. Luckily for him I was here." Joey said proud of herself.
"Yes, thank Josephine the bandage wrapper." Pacey said.
Joey stuck out her tongue and laughed.
"Okay, so we need to go now! Come on Pacey." Audrey said with a smile.
"O, um, actually I was thinking it's better if I stay here. I don't want my hand getting hit by something girlish or drunk. Is that okay Joey?" Pacey said facing Joey.
Joey smiled wide then shook her head. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "It's fine Pacey as long as you aren't too loud."
"It's settled then. I will stay here with Joey and you guys can go and have fun." Pacey said trying to hide a smile unsuccessfully.
Dawson and Jack said goodbye and walked out to the car. Only Audrey remained. She looked from Joey to Pacey and back to Joey. She gave Joey a dirty look that only Pacey noticed. Audrey gave a sarcastic goodbye then stomped out of the house.
Joey and Pacey looked at each other, and then Joey picked up her book and started to read it. Pacey watched Joey for a moment then took a seat across from Joey. After about two minutes Pacey started to get bored and tapped on the table. Joey looked at Pacey and he stopped.
"So what book are you reading?" Pacey asked Joey.
Joey lifted up the book so he could read the title.
"Skye O'Malley. What's it about?" Pacey asked not really curious, just bored.
"It's about a woman who falls in love with a guy and can't be with him." Joey said not looking up.
Pacey smiled. "It's one of those sex novels isn't it?"
Joey looked up but looked back to her book. "It's a romance."
"No it's not. It's a sex novel like you read in high school!" Pacey said.
Joey slammed her book down hard. "Even after all these years you can still ruin my reading time like in high school. Yes, it's a sex novel! Happy now?" Joey pushed back her stool and walked away.
Pacey watched Joey walk away. He got up and grabbed her book then walked up to her.
"I didn't mean to ruin your reading time Jo. I'm just bored." Pacey said handing her the book.
Joey took the book and looked at Pacey and smiled a small smile. "It's okay Pacey, I was overreacting."
They were smiling at each other and they were inches apart. Both stopped smiling then Pacey backed away.
"Um, well, I'll just let you read and um, I'll go and uh, find something to do." Pacey rushed away.
Joey chuckled then returned to her seat at the counter. About ten minutes later Joey could faintly hear music playing. Joey closed her book and walked towards the music. The closer Joey got, the more she could hear the music. Joey was right near the stereo room. Joey could hear the words clearly.
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all in the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and I feel like I can face the day I can forgive
and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today.
Joey walked into the room and saw Pacey sitting on the couch with his hand on his mouth and nose.
"So far away by Staind. I didn't know you liked this song." Joey said to Pacey.
Pacey jumped when he heard her voice. "Oh yeah, it's a mixed CD though."
Joey smiled and went up to the stereo. She skipped through the songs.
"Okay so you have stutter by Mystikal, bad day by Fuel, best deceptions and brilliant dance by Dashboard confessional, fat lip by sum 41 and Miami by will smith. What's the CD called?" Joey asked sitting down.
"This is my depression CD. I listen to it when I don't feel good." Pacey said with sad eyes.
"How does Miami help you?" Joey asked smiling.
"Hey, it's a song about girls on a beach. How can I not feel good?" Pacey chuckled.
Joey shook her head and picked up Pacey's CD case. Joey flipped through the CD's and stopped at one. Joey Picked it up and looked at Pacey.
"You have a Joey CD?" Joey said holing up the CD.
Pacey turned red. Joey looked back at the CD and stood up. She walked over to the stereo and put it in. the first song started to play. "I wanna; li li lick you from your head to your toes..." what's your fantasy-
ludacris "O god Pacey! This reminds you of me?" Joey went to song two.
"When you feel it in your body, you found somebody who makes you change
your ways..." Joey smiled at you got it bad by Usher and smiled at the next song of I'll be by Edwin McCain. Joey skipped through the songs and heard god must have spent a little more time on you by N'sync and the reason by Hobbastank. Joey froze at the next song.
"Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more..."
Joey looked at Pacey with tears in her eyes and sat next to him. "What song is this Pace?"
"It's called Joey by Concrete Blonde. I heard your name and I had to put it on there. I bet you think I'm weird huh?" Pacey said looking down.
Joey sniffed in a tear and grabbed Pacey's hand. "I don't think that at all. It's sweet."
Joey ran to her room and fetched a CD. She handed it to Pacey.
"PW CD. What's this?" Pacey asked.
"It's your CD. I want you to hear it." Joey said grabbing it and putting it in the stereo. The first song came on.
"Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon..." here's to the night- eve 6
Pacey skipped to the next song.
"And when I'm looking in those big blue eyes
I start flowing down in paradise
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy..."
you drive me crazy- R. Harwood
Pacey listened to the rest of the songs then there was one left. When the music started he couldn't believe his ears. His song was playing.
"When I met you, we didn't get along.
I fell for you a short time after.
Still after all this time I love you.
We called it quits,
But my heart still feels the same.
You're the girl I hate to love,
The girl down by the water.
I hate feeling this way,
But I want you back."
Pacey sat down on the couch with his mouth open. He tried to talk but nothing came out.
"It's the girl I hate to love by Water Front, your band." Joey said.
Pacey turned his head to face Joey. "How did you get this? We only played it once."
"Well, about one and a half years after we broke up I wanted to see you so I came to Chicago. I found out that you had a band and they were playing that night. I went to the place and I heard you sing. I was told it was the one and only time you would ever sing that song so I got a copy of it. I took the copy home and listened to it that night and every night for a while. I always wanted to believe that song was about me. I knew it wasn't because after you sang I went up to you but you were hugging a girl so I left and knew you moved on." Joey got quiet and sad.
"Hugging a girl? Jo, the only girl I knew there was my sister Gretchen. No other girl. And that song, it was about you." Pacey said looking at Joey.
Joey looked up into his soft blue eyes. "It was Pace?"
"O god yes Jo. I was still madly in love with you. I wrote that song after I got back into Chicago." Pacey smiled.
"I always wished it was. When I went to Chicago I didn't go to just see you, I went to tell you I still loved you. I never fully got over you." Joey said while holding Pacey's hand.
Pacey looked into Joey's eyes and could tell she was telling the truth. He waited so many years for Joey to say something like that. Pacey couldn't fight the feeling anymore. He needed to go for it.
Pacey leaned in towards Joey and kissed her. He could feel sparks flying all over again and the butterflies coming back. He even thought Joey kissed him back. Then, reality set in. What was he doing? He can't just force a kiss on her! Pacey separated them then stood up and faced her.
"Joey I'm sorry about that. I just needed to get that off my chest. I wanted to do that for so long and I just couldn't help myself. Now it's done so I won't try it again." Pacey started to rub his hair. He turned around.
Joey stood up and tapped Pacey on the shoulder. Pacey turned around. Before Pacey could even blink Joey was kissing him! Pacey closed his eyes and just gave in. he wrapped his arms around Joey. Joey enclosed his neck so she could get a better kiss. It felt so right to them. It seemed like heaven on earth, even if it was for a few seconds. Slowly, their lips moved away from each other and Pacey opened his eyes. He watched Joey flutter hers opened. They were still holding onto each other.
"I wanted to kiss you for a long time." Joey whispered.
"So did I." Pacey whispered back.
Joey smiled then moved away. What was she thinking! She can't do THAT again. Joey Potter cannot start to fall for Pacey Witter again. Only bad comes from it! She couldn't fall for the man with the only soul she could see through beautiful blue eyes. This was something that could never happen.
"I...I have to leave." Joey ran off into the confessional.
Joey ran into the confessional and closed the door. She walked around the small room in a circle talking to herself.
"What the fuck was that Joey? You can't fall for Pacey again...you can't! Woo, calm down now. Its fine...just fine. No big deal, it was just a kiss." Joey noticed then that she was talking to herself.
"O great! Now I'm talking to myself. Oops there you go again."
Joey shook her body and sat down in the chair. She talked into the camera.
"I have no idea what I'm going to do. I don't know how this happened. One minute, Pacey and I are listening to music and then the next we're kissing. Man! It's all Pacey's fault. If he would have gotten ugly or mean... ugh, who am I kidding, Pacey could never be ugly or mean! He just had to kiss me and then I just HAD to kiss him back again. I'm sure everything will be fine. I'm not going to start to fall for Pacey Witter now; especially when my ex boyfriend Zach is coming in tomorrow. They NEVER EVER got along. I'm not afraid that I'm going to start to fall for him, I'm afraid that I AM falling for him!" Joey put her head in her hands and cried till the rest of them came home then she went to bed.

"Well, about one and a half years after we broke up I wanted to see you so I came to Chicago. I found out that you had a band and they were playing that night. I went to the place and I heard you sing. I was told it was the one and only time you would ever sing that song so I got a copy of it. I took the copy home and listened to it that night and every night for a while. I always wanted to believe that song was about me. I knew it wasn't because after you sang I went up to you but you were hugging a girl so I left and knew you moved on." Joey got quiet and sad.
"Hugging a girl? Jo, the only girl I knew there was my sister Gretchen. No other girl. And that song, it was about you." Pacey said looking at Joey.
Joey looked up into his soft blue eyes. "It was Pace?"
"O god yes Jo. I was still madly in love with you. I wrote that song after I got back into Chicago." Pacey smiled.
"I always wished it was. When I went to Chicago I didn't go to just see you, I went to tell you I still loved you. I never fully got over you." Joey said while holding Pacey's hand.
Pacey looked into Joey's eyes and could tell she was telling the truth. He waited so many years for Joey to say something like that. Pacey couldn't fight the feeling anymore. He needed to go for it.
Pacey leaned in towards Joey and kissed her. He could feel sparks flying all over again and the butterflies coming back. He even thought Joey kissed him back. Then, reality set in. What was he doing? He can't just force a kiss on her! Pacey separated them then stood up and faced her.
"Joey I'm sorry about that. I just needed to get that off my chest. I wanted to do that for so long and I just couldn't help myself. Now it's done so I won't try it again." Pacey started to rub his hair. He turned around.
Joey stood up and tapped Pacey on the shoulder. Pacey turned around. Before Pacey could even blink Joey was kissing him! Pacey closed his eyes and just gave in. he wrapped his arms around Joey. Joey enclosed his neck so she could get a better kiss. It felt so right to them. It seemed like heaven on earth, even if it was for a few seconds. Slowly, their lips moved away from each other and Pacey opened his eyes. He watched Joey flutter hers opened. They were still holding onto each other.
"I wanted to kiss you for a long time." Joey whispered.
"So did I." Pacey whispered back.
Joey smiled then moved away. What was she thinking! She can't do THAT again. Joey Potter cannot start to fall for Pacey Witter again. Only bad comes from it! She couldn't fall for the man with the only soul she could see through beautiful blue eyes. This was something that could never happen.
"I...I have to leave." Joey ran off into the confessional.
Joey ran into the confessional and closed the door. She walked around the small room in a circle talking to herself.
"What the fuck was that Joey? You can't fall for Pacey again...you can't! Woo, calm down now. Its fine...just fine. No big deal, it was just a kiss." Joey noticed then that she was talking to herself.
"O great! Now I'm talking to myself. Oops there you go again."
Joey shook her body and sat down in the chair. She talked into the camera.
"I have no idea what I'm going to do. I don't know how this happened. One minute, Pacey and I are listening to music and then the next we're kissing. Man! It's all Pacey's fault. If he would have gotten ugly or mean... ugh, who am I kidding, Pacey could never be ugly or mean! He just had to kiss me and then I just HAD to kiss him back again. I'm sure everything will be fine. I'm not going to start to fall for Pacey Witter now; especially when my ex boyfriend Zach is coming in tomorrow. They NEVER EVER got along. I'm not afraid that I'm going to start to fall for him, I'm afraid that I AM falling for him!" Joey put her head in her hands and cried till the rest of them came home then she went to bed.
