"Dad wants to speak to you?" Doug said.

At his apartment, Doug was speaking to his younger brother. He knew that Joey was pregnant and he knew Pacey was the father. He had not told anyone, but thanks to parental jargon and the town's gossip, their father, Sheriff Witter, knew too.

"Well I don't want to listen to him… Beside I already know what he is going to say… Pacey you are a worthless stupid peace of crap. It's not bad enough that I'm ruing my life but I have to ruin other people's lives too.… Doug I know my father so well that I know what he is gong to say." Pacey said with a huge smile on his face.

At the time, Pacey was not taking the situation seriously. Actually, he was so relieved that everyone knew.

"Wipe the smile off your face. Do you understand the seriousness of what you have done…? Damn it Pacey, just when I think you are turning around, you make a dumb ass move like this." Doug was going to yell some more but before he could continue, someone was knocking at the door dynamically.

When he opened the door, he was shocked to see that it was Joey. Looking at her body figure, Doug could not tell that she was pregnant. People would only believe what they want to believe and no one would believe that this innocent girl was pregnant.

However, when you looked at her, you could tell that she was trying to hide something. She covered her body figure with baggy clothes. She seemed different somehow but you could not put your finger on it. Nonetheless, when you looked deep into her eyes, you could tell that something was wrong.

"Is Pacey here?" Joey said pathetically.

"Look, Joey this isn't a good time, maybe if you come back in an hour or two…" Doug suggested.

"No. I need to speak to him now!" Joey said persistent.

"Okay, but just for a quick second." Doug allowed.

"Pacey, you have a guess." Doug said.

Doug went into the living room and Pacey went outside on the stoop to find Joey.

"Hey! There's my girl…" Pacey grabbed her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Do you want to come inside?"

"Pacey she's going to make me move!" Joey blurted out her problem. She did not have time to appreciate Pacey's presence. She was more worry about her future.

"What?" Pacey asked. He had no idea what she was talking about, but by the sound of it, he knew it was not good at all.

"Bessie…she acting paranoid and unreasonable…. up north in Bondsville… that is where my aunt lives… she's going to make me move there… Pacey, I don't know what to do!" Joey was rumbling anxiously.

"Hey calm down…" Pacey took her into his arms to comfort her… "Look, now slowly tell me what's happening."

They parted from their hug, Joey looked straight into his eyes, and she said, "When Dawson took me home today…"

"Wait a minute!" Pacey fiercely interrupted her, "Why did Dawson drive you home?"

"What?…" Joey did not see why Pacey was being irrational, "What are you talking about? I needed a ride home and he was the only person who could."

"I could have taken you home." Pacey stated firmly.

"Well you weren't at a school…." Joey reminded. "Wait… why weren't you at a school today."

"Uh… Well you see… I had uh things to do here… well not here… an issue with my family…." Pacey was just rumbling on his thoughts.

Joey looked deep in his eyes and could tell that he was not telling the truth, "No… you're lying… You did not stay home because of your family… The reason why you didn't go to school today was because you didn't want to face everyone."

The truth was, Pacey did skip school because he did not want to face all the gossips, rumors, and the tirades. He did not want to hear people talking behind his back, or he did not want people coming up to him and complaining to him. He thought he would take a couple of days off from school Therefore, when he got back to school things would have calmed down.

"Joey, don't make it a big deal, I thought if I skipped school today. I didn't want to hear the crap people were saying." He acknowledged.

"No! No Pacey. Do not make this into a sorry excuse because the truth is you were hiding. You were hiding from everyone… YOU ARE SUCH AN ASS! Do you know how I felt when I had to face all those people today… And do you know why I did it? I did it because I didn't want to run anymore!… I wanted to know what was happening in my surroundings… I wanted to know if I could handle this situation………… And I couldn't Pacey. I couldn't!" She yelled.

"Well what could I have done about it? I know you think I'm this big superhero, but the truth is I don't know anymore than you do." Pacey tired to defend his honor.

"How do you think I feel when you left me alone?… You know I just can't do this! I can't! I just can't!… Pacey I am thirteen weeks in." Joey declared.

"Yeah I know." Pacey didn't see where she was going with this.

"Do you have the six hundred dollars?" Joey asked in a demanding kind of way.

At that moment, Pacey knew exactly what she was talking about. She was talking about ending the pregnancy, "What!… Joey you weren't serious about having the… the abortion."

"Of course I was Pacey…" She said in a raised voice.

"You can't have one... It's murder!" He ordered.

"Pacey you can not tell me what to do. It's my body!" She debated.

"Yeah well you can't just end an innocent life just because you want to." Pacey argued.

"Its' not a life… it's a fetus…and it…" Joey tried to justify her argument.

Pacey just looked into her eyes and proudly said, "And you know it's wrong!…… I do not have the money and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you."

Joey did not want to fight anymore. Therefore, she just turned around and walked away. She did not want to be there. She would not stay. It was just too emotionally painful and internally difficult.

"Joey! Where are you going?" Pacey detained.

"Bondsville!" She shouted as she left his stoop. She did not want this baby!
