Chapter Four"Bessie, is it really you?" Joey asked, still in astonishment. Could this really be her sister, or was this some kind of joke?
"Joey, it's really me," Bessie's voice full of emotion. "I need you to come back to Capeside."
"Capeside?" Joey was shocked. Why did her sister want her to come back? Besides, it was her choice if she had decided if she wanted to. "Why?"
"I can't explain on the phone," Bessie said, impatiently. "Just come back."
"But, I'm in the middle of a school year," Joey protested.
"Just come and I'll answer your questions when you are here."
"But, can't you tell me over the phone," Joey moaned.
"I can't. Joey, I have to go. Just remember to come. Bye."
"Bye," Joey said to the receiver and put down the phone.
Seth, Summer, Marissa and Ryan were all looking at Joey. They didn't know what was going on, but from the expression on Joey's face, they knew it was serious.
"What was that?" Seth asked, looking at Joey.
"My sister," Joey said, softly.
"Your sister," Seth shrieked. "She's not taking you away."
"Is she really taking you away?" Summer asked, looking at Joey.
"No, she wants me back in Capeside," Joey sighed. "But, she didn't say why. The only thing she said was that she would explain when I get there."
"But, Jo, you can't leave," Seth whined. "Who will I to annoy while you're gone?"
"Summer?" Joey suggested, while Summer hit her lightly on the arm.
"Hey," Summer pouted.
"But, you can't go, Jo," Marissa said, looking at her. "This place won't be the same without you."
Ryan nodded in agreement. "I know," Joey heavily sighed. "But, if I don't go, then I won't be able to find out what Bessie wants."
"Well, I'm not letting you go by yourself," Seth stated. "That place could be dangerous and I don't my sister getting hurt."
"Thanks for the protection, Seth," Joey said, thoughtfully. "But, I think I'm safe in Capeside. You've been there before, it's just another boring, little town."
"No, we're not letting you go by yourself, Jo," Summer said, suddenly. "We're coming with you. All of us."
"I really appreciate it, guys. I really do, but what would your parents say while, you're gone?" Joey asked. "And, Seth and Ryan, mum's going to kill you both if she lets you go. If she lets me go at all."
"My mum won't care," Marissa said. "And, besides we could come up with a lie and say we're going to TJ again."
"My stepmum won't care, either," Summer shrugged. "She'll be happy that I'm out of the house."
"Then, that's settled. We're going with you, Jo," Marissa nodded and slowly the other three joined her.
"We're not leaving you alone," Ryan said, suddenly. "You're like family to all of us."
"Me, especially," Seth smiled.
"You, guys. I'm so grateful that you're coming with me," Joey smiled, with a looped sided smile. "It makes me want to cry."
"Aww, Jo. If you cry than I will cry and then, Coop will join in," Summer smiled, getting a bit teary. "And, I'm sure Cohen will join eventually."
Seth gave Summer a look, while the rest of them were laughing at him. "Are you saying I'm a girl?" Seth protested.
"Basically, we are," Summer nodded, still laughing.
"Hey, I'm not a girl and I don't see you picking on, Ryan," Seth pouted.
Ryan gave Seth a look, "Oh, I get it. You're the macho man, while I'm the emo kid."
"No, Seth. Actually, I think Summer implying that you're useless and before, you start yelling, I think Sum loves it," Joey smiled, before getting a hit from Summer.
"Okay, before everyone starts fighting again," Marissa suddenly spoke. "We should pack for this trip and return here in a hour's time."
Everyone agreed and pack for the trip. Joey was nervous. She hadn't been to Capeside in over eleven years. Everything would of changed and most of all, did anyone remember her? She knew Bessie would, but how about Dawson? Did he remember and did he miss her? And, she couldn't forget about Pacey. Although they fought like cats and dogs, Joey knew that he was one of her best friends deep down, but did he miss her as well? These thoughts were running through Joey's head and a sudden knock startled her.
"Are you packed?" Seth asked, emerging into her room.
"I just got a couple of more clothes to put in and I'm packed," Joey smiled, still nervous.
"Everyone's downstairs," he said, feeling the nerves from Joey. "I know you're nervous, but remember we're all here for you."
"Thanks, Seth," she smiled, with her looped sided smile and she gently stood in and hug him. "I'm so glad you'll be here, even if you're a pain in my butt."
"Umm… Jo, you're the pain," Seth protested. "And, don't me get started on how immature you are."
"Okay, okay. I give up," Joey smiled, packing in another tank top. "All done. We can go now."
Seth nodded, watching Joey try to carry the luggage. "Here let me get that."
"Are you sure?" she asked, trying not to laugh. "I don't want you dropping it."
"Ha ha. Very funny," Seth said, sarcastically. "I think I could managed."
"Okay." Joey approached the stairs, with Seth behind her. Ryan, Summer and Marissa were downstairs waiting for them. "About time, Jo. You take way longer than we did," Summer rambled on.
"Bite me, Summer," Joey said, with a smile.
"Eww."
"What she said," Seth said, approaching them and walking over to the front door. He walked over to the Range Rover and put Joey's luggage with the rest of their stuff. "Everybody ready," he yelled. The others nodded. "Okay, then. Capeside, here we come."
