Time was dawdling! Time was ticking! Time was limited! Time was of the essence! Pacey presence at Capeside would soon be of the past.

Pacey was starting to feel depress. It was as if he ran into a brick wall. He realized that he would be leaving Capeside soon. Pacey was about to move from his home, school, memories, his friends, and his true love.

Pacey wanted Joey to be here to say goodbye but it looked as if she was not going to show. Saying goodbye was painful enough. Pacey did not want to force her to say goodbye. Pacey just wanted to see her one more time. He wanted to hold her in his arms. He wanted to hug her. He wanted to tell her that she's the most important thing in his life and he will never forget her.

Later that night, Pacey and his family were about to drive down to their new home in New York. However, Pacey was in his empty room for one last time. Even though his room was empty, history filled his room. It was like his life. Even though his life was absence from friends, he still had his old one in his heart.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone was knocking on Pacey's door.

Pacey turned around to see it was his father.

"I'm ready." Pacey declared.

"That's good, but we're not leaving in about a half an hour… I came to you room to tell you that you have a visitor." Mr. Witter said.

Right after Mr. Witter's statement, Joey walked into Pacey's room; right away contentment filled Pacey. Joey, who had a smile on her face, was actually there in his room. She was still depressed that he was leaving.

"Hey." Pacey said warmly.

"Hey." Joey said sincerely.

After a long awkward moment between two of them, Mr. Witter said, "Well I'll give you two some time alone."

"Thanks dad." Pacey said as Mr. Witter left.

Once Mr. Witter left, there was another awkward moment between them. Pacey and Joey had not spoken to each other in months. Actually, the last time they saw each other was the day Joey went into labor.

"So…" Joey said.

"So… You're here…" Pacey said puzzled.

"Yea…" Joey said mysteriously.

"How are you?" He brought up another topic.

"I don't know." Joey said vaguely.

"Okay…" Pacey said mystified.

They did not know what to say to each other. However, whatever they needed to say, they needed to say it now, because this was the last time, they would see each other. If they did not break the ice, it would be too late.

Just as Pacey was about to give up, Joey finally spoke, "You know… I've been thinking… About the baby… I was thinking what would have happened if we kept the baby…"

"Joey don't." Pacey stopped.

"Don't what?" She felt hurt.

"Don't bring up bad memories. It's too late to do anything about it. You can't say anything that would change the outcome." Pacey elucidated.

"Pacey you don't understand." Joey declared.

"No! I understand perfectly… You spent months choosing a decision back and forth. But the truth was you couldn't make that decision… You can make a decision about school, such as a math test or college. But when comes to your family and relationships; you suck at it!" Pacey argued.

"I know… Don't you get it…? I'm not sure if it's from the post pregnancy or whatever… but I am so depressed and I don't know why… But I do know that the way I treated you and the baby, it was not fair. I wasn't able to make simple decision… I just want you to know that I was scared Pacey! I was detrimentally scared!" Joey started to cry.

"Come here Potter!" Pacey hugged her.

As time past, as it started to rain outside, Pacey and Joey just held on to one another. They didn't say one thing to each other because they knew they did not have to say anything. They psychologically knew what the other person felt. They knew that the other one was sorry for everything that happened. They hated that their relationship was ending this way. This wasn't they happily ever after they deserved.

After the hour had past, Pacey's father had knocked on the door. Pacey and Joey separated from their hug. Joey wiped the tears off her face and Pacey calmed his emotions down.

"Come in." Pacey said.

Pacey father head peeked in, "Uh, Pacey it's time to uh… you know. Go."

"Okay." Pacey said.

Pacey and Joey walked onto the porch. Pacey folks and siblings headed in the car. Joey turned around and she looked into Pacey's eyes. This was the hardest thing they had to do.

"I guess I got to go." Joey said, preparing for Pacey's department.

Pacey grabbed Joey's hand and passionately kissed her. This action came out of know where. The kiss pleased Joey. Therefore, she responded to the kiss. She moved her hands around his neck. They began to kiss one another more passionately.

After they break from the kiss, Pacey said, "Joey… I love you!"

"I love you too!" Joey repeated.

All of this was too much for Joey. Joey gave Pacey one more kiss and she ran off in the rain.

However, before she left, she turned around and said, "Goodbye Pacey."

"Bye Joey." Pacey replied.

Joey then took off into the boisterous ran. This intense year was officially the hardest year that Joey would ever endure.

As the rain started to stop, Pacey grabbed the last of his stuff. Pacey headed towards the car where brother was standing.

"You say goodbye to Joey?" Doug asked.

"You know I did." Pacey said irritated.

"You should have told her." Doug declared.

"I'm just trying to protect her." Pacey proudly stated.

"From what? Her life is hell right now, the best thing she needs right now is the truth." Doug declared.

"Doug, please! I know that right now, this looks wrong, but trust me. I'm doing the right thing… Everything will turn out fine." Pacey said confident.

Pacey had made the biggest decision of his life. He had been lying to Joey and it killed him that he was lying, but he had to. This is how it was suppose to be. Pacey was about to flee town with his…

"Pacey, your son wants you." Mrs. Witter came to Pacey with his son.

"Hey, Josh!" Pacey held his young son.

Mrs. Bedingfield, the social worker, allowed Pacey to keep his son. Even though it did not look like it now, but Mrs. Bedingfield knew that Pacey would make a great father. She thought that the move to New York would be good. Therefore, both Pacey and his son, Joshua, would be able to have a fresh start.

"I want you to know that, everything will be okay Josh." Pacey said.

Pacey did not know when, but one day, Pacey would tell Joey. However, that day was nowhere in the near future.
