Later that night, it was pouring boisterously in Capeside. Jen and Grams were inside their home sitting in front of a warm fire. They were graciously talking about what happened in their day. The topic Josephine's pregnancy had not popped up in their conversation. They knew the concept of privacy. They knew it was none of their business to talk behind Joey's back.
"How was school today Jennifer?" Grams asked as she was sewing.
"It was alright. I got a B on Chemistry test… And that should help my grade a bit." Jen stated.
"Good for you… It is about time for you to think about keeping your grades up… Colleges would love that." Grams implied.
"Yeah… How are things with you?" Jen politely responded.
"You know… Everything's just dazzling." Grams declared.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"I'll get that…" Jen got up and headed to the door.
After she opened the door, she was utterly scandalized when she found Joey standing their in the rain. She looked so pathetic and miserable.
"Joey… Are you okay?" Jen asked.
"No. I'm not okay… I messed up pretty badly. I have no idea what I am going to do, but I don't think it's fixable." Joey articulated.
"Joey… Why are you here?" Jen was trying to be sympathetic but she could not.
"I need help." Joey admitted.
"… Joey, when I moved here from New York and when I met you three, Dawson, Pacey and you, it seemed like your friendships were the real thing…. It seemed that nothing could destroy your friendships… And as hard as it was for me… I accepted the fact that I could not be apart of your long lasting childhood… I was just friend." Jen ignited.
"Jen… What are you trying to say?" Joey was confused.
"Joey it's hard to watch you sometimes. You have everything going for you. You have the looks, the intelligences, and you have guys throwing themselves at you. But you are so afraid of making permanent choices that you run away from people. You just keep screwing up spectacularly... You keep on hurting yourself and others."
"Look Jen, I know we had our ups and downs in our friendships. Actually, I had ups and downs with all my friends, but the truth is that I don't have anyone else right now. Dawson hates me. Pacey is ignoring me. Bessie wants to get rid of me. The McPhees, well I don't know what problem Andie and Jack has with me, but I know that they don't exactly want to speak to me… Jen… I don't have anywhere to go…………. Please, Jen can I stay with you?" Joey expressed.
While thinking about it, Jen just looked at Joey. She looked so scared and alone. Jen thought about if she was in this situation and wondered if Joey would do the same thing for her. She then said, "No problem…" She knew Joey would do the same thing for her.
Since she was too excited to say thank you, Joey just hugged her symbolizing she was happy. Joey knew that she took so many things for granted, but she would not take Jen's friendship for granted. Jen was Joey's last chance. If she screwed this up, it would be the end of the road for Joey.
After a long delightful moment, Joey and Jen pulled away from their hug.
"Thank you so much." Joey showed her gratitude.
"Joey, I'm sure Grams is going to have her own set of rules, but I have a few of my own that you should hear." Jen declared.
"Name them." Joey said.
"Actually I only have one… No more lies ever, okay? There will be nothing between us." Jen listed.
"Okay, promise. No secretes between us." Joey answered.
This was Joey last chance and she had to be honest all the way. Not only to Jen, but she had to be honest to everyone.
Next on my FanFic: Things have changed a lot in Capeside. Some Relationships/Friendship have grown and Some relationships/Friendships have disappeared.
