The next morning she woke up with a million ideas in her head. She couldn't help but stress over all the plans that needed to get done. There was so much to do and so little time! She rolled over in the bed to greet Pacey but only found an empty space. Apparently she had been exhausted from all the excitement and slept well into the afternoon. She walked out into the living room and saw Pacey staring out the window, so she slowly walked up behind him and put her arms around his waist.

"Good morning, sweetie."

"Nope, try good afternoon. You've been asleep a long time."

"I know. I'm sorry. I guess I was more tired than I realized." She also began to realize that something was wrong with Pacey. He hadn't taken his eyes away from the window since she came into the room. "Are you okay, Pace?"

"Hmm?" He seemed almost startled to hear her voice, but then turned around to face her. "Oh yeah, Joe, I'm fine. I'm just tired too I guess."

"Pacey, I'm your fiancé now remember? Whatever it is you can tell me." Her mind suddenly feared the very worst. "You don't think we're making the wrong decision do you?"

"No! Joey I would never think that!"

"Then what's wrong?"

"Ok, please don't be mad, but your cell phone started ringing this morning and you didn't even budge, so I went to go answer it figuring it was just someone calling to give their congratulations. Well, I didn't reach it in time but the person left a message. I never should have listened to it."

"Pacey, its okay. I don't have any secrets from you."

"I know, but Joey I really wish that I hadn't listened to it." His appearance began to change. What Joey had thought was sadness was now turning to a completely different emotion. "Because right now I'm really angry and upset and I don't know what to think!"

"What did the message say? Is it something that I did? Tell me Pacey." She had no idea what the message could have said and she was starting to worry even more.

Pacey turned to look out the window again. "Just listen to the message. You're phone is on the table."

Joey walked over to the coffee table and called her mailbox. "You have one new message. Hey Joey it's Dawson. I was really hoping to catch you. I really needed to talk to you about something. Um…you know, I really thought that I was happy for you and Pacey. I mean, I am…I mean, I don't know what I am right now. I'm confused, Joey... What am I doing? I shouldn't even be calling you. Its just that you know me Joey, and you know how I'm feeling right now without me even having to say a word and that still means something to me. I need to know that you are 100 sure about marrying Pacey. If you are, I will completely support you guys but if there is any doubt…well, if there is then just maybe we have something to talk about. So, call me when you get this, ok? Bye Joey."

Joey fell back onto the couch in astonishment. She knew Dawson was upset but she could have never predicted this in a million years. She looked over at Pacey and found him staring at her, just waiting to see what her reaction would be. All she could muster up was shock, pure and utter shock.

"Joey, please say something. I need to know how you feel about this."

"Pace…." She could not think of any words to explain how she was feeling at that moment. She ran into his arms and began sobbing uncontrollably. Pacey was entirely confused but hated to see her that way and wrapped his arms around her and did his best to comfort her, hoping that this would not be the last time that he would hold her.
