Joey and Audrey stopped right in front of Jen's place. It was almost noon; Audrey would never leave her bed so early on a Saturday. Joey knew Pacey wouldn't be working, but she wanted to avoid him, she wasn't ready for any kind of confrontation.

"What's wrong, Bunny? Are we staying all day here, in front of Jen's door?"

"I don't wanna see him, Aud."

"Are you afraid of what? Big bad Pacey? He's not that bad, actually, if he wasn't your beloved ex-boyfriend, I would make a move…"

"Audrey!!!" Joey rolled her eyes.

"He's hot; Joey and I have eyes…" Before she could finish, Pacey opened the door. He looked at them, with a feeling that they were talking about him.

"Hey, Witter, anything fine? Are Jen and Jack ready?" the blonde entered the apartment, without asking permission, talking with no stop, leaving Pacey and Joey staring at each other.

"Is she always like that?"

"No, Pace, she is calm today." They were still at the door. "Hmm, Pace?"

"What?"

"Are we staying here at your door all day?"

"I thought it would be fun, but if you wanna come in…" He laughed when he saw her rolling her eyes.

Audrey had disappeared, probably in Jen's room.

"Are you guys going out?"

"Yes, Audrey and Jen want to do some shopping…" She couldn't believe him…they were talking like nothing had happened last night, but she was relieved, she didn't want to bring past ghosts back, not today.

Somehow he knew she was going to avoid the subject, that she didn't want to talk about last night, or their past relationship.

"Potter, I…I want to talk to you." He couldn't hold it anymore.

"About what?"

"Jo, you know exactly what I'm talking about"

"Pace, please, not today…"

"Jo, we can't avoid this anymore, especially after last night."

"And you decided you want to do this right now?"

"Jo, we are going to avoid this talk again and again, you know that…I don't wanna be near you without being able to talk to you anymore, if we wanna be friends, we must clear out things between us…"

"Ok. But I don't wanna talk here, in your living room, where anyone can interrupt us."

"Let's go to my bedroom."

In Jen's room, Audrey, Jen and Jack were listening behind the door.

"Damn it, I can't believe they're going to talk in Pacey's room…"

"Would it be too rude if we stand behind his door, Jack?"

"No, Jen , not at all…besides,  after all the whining and moping we have been through these past months, we deserve to know what they are going to talk about."

"You guys think they're going to get back together?"

"If they're honest enough, they will…"

"Thanks God…Joey really needs to get laid…"

The three of them couldn't stop laughing at Audrey's comment.

Inside Pacey's room, Joey sat on the bed, while Pacey stood right in front of her.

"Now what? Is this some kind of judgment? You are going to stand in front of me and accuse me of God knows what?" Joey was getting angry; he was just staring at her.

"Why?"

"Why what, Pacey?"

"Why did you kiss me?"

"I don't know…it was something I wanted to do for a long, long time…but you know what, I'm leaving, this is not gonna work"

"C'mon, Potter, you're running away…"

"No, Pace, that's your specialty…I didn't come here to talk about last night's kiss. This is the last thing we should talk about"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Why did you leave me without a word, for starts, without even caring to listen to me?"

"I didn't care? You didn't care, Jo, I left a letter on your porch door, asking you to meet me before graduation at the ruins and you never showed up…"

"And here you go again with this letter thing…Pacey, I never saw this letter, and you really think I wouldn't meet you if what you're saying it's true?"

"Well, you should believe, after all, I'm not the one who uses to lie about everything…"

The tension and the pain kept all those months were almost palpable between them…Despite the angry words, full of anger, their eyes showed something more, a flame, and a kind of hunger that nothing could extinguish.

"How many times do you need me to admit that I was wrong, Pacey? What more do I need to say? I'm sorry, I know, I, Joey Potter was stupid enough to believe that I could make things the way they were before us, I know I should never have lied to you, but I can't turn back time…Yes, I lied, but at least I was honest in my feelings…"

"And I wasn't honest? Joey, I loved you…"

"That's a little hard to believe, Pace…or maybe your love wasn't strong enough…"

"How can you say that?"

"How? Pace, you left me and the first thing you do when you come back is introduce me to your brand new girlfriend…do you have any idea how I felt?"

"Maybe the same I felt when I saw you kissing Dawson…"

"I was not kissing Dawson…I don't know why I even try…you can't discuss anything between us without bringing Dawson's name in it, can you?"

"Because he is right there, in the back of your mind…'

"No, Pace he's in the back of your mind, you are the one who always made him an issue…I know I contributed to this, but he's your issue…"

"Mine? You know, you're right…this is useless..."

"Pacey tell me one thing, did you ever really believe in us?"

"What?"

"Stop these monosyllabic all grunts. You know what I mean…you never really believed in us, in our relationship…day after day, you were waiting that I would realize the big mistake I had done and would go back to Dawson…"

"And that's exactly what you did…"!

"I didn't…god, Pacey…why do you keep saying this?"

"Everything you did before prom, and that kiss showed me how wrong I was in believing that you would ever love me…"

"What are you talking about?"

"You were distant, acting weirdly, like you were hiding something…then in the car you said you wanted to talk after prom...do I need to be clearer?"

"Ok, I was distant, I was preoccupied and I wanted to talk to you but it had nothing with Dawson…I loved you then Pace, I still love you, if you want to know" She was crying now.

"So, what did you want to tell me then?" His eyes trying to figure out her expression of pain.

"It doesn't matter anymore…I'm tired of this, I'm leaving…"

"Jo, please, I have to know this…I have to believe that this entire year wasn't a lie. For once, make me believe you"

"I can't, Pace…I thought I could, but I can't open this wound again…"

"Jo, tell me. It can be that bad"

"I was pregnant."
