Part 22 - The kidnapping

The Leerys got back home in silence. Mitch couldn't believe in his own son. He had acted like some kind of lunatic; his obsession with Joey was getting to the point of sickness. Dawson tried to get to the stairs to his bedroom, but was stopped by his father.

"Not so fast, mister. Gale, put Lilly to sleep and come back, we're going to have a nice talk here."

"But Dad…" Dawson whined.

"No buts, Dawson."

Gale stared at her husband surprised. Their son, their baby had been beaten, and Mitch was going to give him a hard time, she just knew it.

They waited for Gale in silence, Dawson wondering what he had gotten himself into. When his mother came back, she sat right in front of him, her eyes trying to comfort him. Mitch sat on the other couch and asked in the most civil way.

"Now, Dawson, can you explain what the hell was that?"

"Pacey got jealous of Joey and overreacted…"

"Cut the bullshit, Dawson…I know you came to Boston a few weeks ago, you paid the tickets with your credit card, you thought I wouldn't notice?" Mitch asked in an angry tone

"I came to see Joey, she invited me…" He mumbled.

"I didn't raise a child to become a liar, Dawson. Joey didn't seem to be very happy to see you…"

"Dad, she believes in Pacey's lies…"

"Maybe he's right, Mitch, we can't be against our own son…" Gale tried to defend him.

"Gale, we both spoiled this boy a little too much…You're obsessed, son…Joey doesn't want you, she made it pretty clear tonight. You just embarrassed yourself."

"I have to come back, dad, I have to be near her…"

"No, you don't. You're going back to California first thing in the morning and go back to school, I'm taking you credit card back, the only money you will have is enough for you to do the basics…"

Gale started crying, he was being to harsh on Dawson.

"Mitch…"

"No, Gale, he's gonna learn to value the right things in life, by the hardest way. Dawson, go to your room and start packing."

"I hate you, Dad." Dawson yelled like a 5 year old.

"You can hate me, but I'm still the one who pays your bills. Go"

Dawson went up, slamming his door. Gale kept sat, crying. Mitch sat beside her, one arm around her shoulder.

"Gale, sweetie, this is hurting me more that you, believe me." He kissed her forehead.

"Oh, Mitch, you were too hard with him" She said between sobs.

"Only for his own good…" They sat in silence, both worried about their son.

At Mrs. Ryan's house, the gang was sat in front of the fireplace talking, too surprised with the previous events.

"I will never say again that I'm bored near you guys." Audrey exclaimed.

"The eternal triangle now has more dramatic tones than never." Jack said.

"What do you think it's gonna happen now, Jack?" Jen asked, feeling safe with Charlie's arms around her.

"No idea." He shrugged.

"This Dawson guy looks a little bit obsessed to me." Charlie pointed. "He may cause trouble."

"More, darling?" Jen kissed his cheek.

"I wonder what Joey and Pacey are doing right now…She looked so sad." Audrey talked thoughtfully.

At Joey's room, she and Pacey were making out like crazy on her bed, half clothed, hands touching everyplace, they couldn't let go of each other. Pacey was over her, pressing his body against hers on the soft mattress. He stopped to breathe for a while, looking into her eyes that were shining with desire.

"Since when you became so crazy?" He whispered huskily.

"Since I fell in love with you." He nibbled her earlobe, sucking it, making her moan out loud. He stood up and started picking up the clothes they had thrown up through the bedroom. Joey sat on the bed, confused.

"Pace? You should be taking my clothes off, not putting them on." She said in a not so happy tone, when he started dressing her.

"Where's your bag? Here, I found it." He started putting everything she had inside it and then dressed himself.

"Pacey Witter, do you care to explain what you are doing?"

"If I'm going to have trouble with Bessie, than I'm gonna to do it right." He picked her bag and grabbed her b the hand. "Come, Jo."

"What are you doing?" She was laughing now.

"I'm kidnapping you. You clearly can't do this quiet enough, and damn, I don't wanna you quiet while we make love, so, I'm kidnapping you."

They left the house as quiet as they could, because Joey couldn't stop laughing. They got inside Pacey's car and she asked him.

"So, what now, Mr. Kidnapper?"

"Boston, we're going back to Boston." He kissed her and started the engine.
