Joey's sitting on the edge of the dock crying when Pacey walks up behind her.

"you ok Jo?" notices that Joey's upset

" I'm fine just go away Pacey?" lifts her head up

" come on Jo you're not fine." sits next to her

" Pacey really I'm fine." wipes her face and gives Pacey a fake smile

" so you want to talk about it?" knows that she's not ok.

"no." snaps at Pacey

" come on Jo believe it or not I'm actually a pretty good listener."

" really this coming from the person who can't stay awake in biology class." starts to get up and walk away

" please will you just talk to me?" grabs Joey's arm

" let go of me Pacey." pulls away from Pacey's grasp

" ok fine you don't have to tell me if you don't want to but you have to let me hang out here with you." lets go of Joey's arm

" fine you can stay out here I guess I could use the company." sits back down where she was

" nice night isn't it Potter." looks up at the sky

" yeah it is ( pauses ) hey did you know that Dawson's been cheating on me for the past month and I just realized it tonight." looks up at the sky and then back at the water

" Jo-I'm sorry I-I had no idea that Dawson was cheating on you." gives her a look of concern

" it's not you fault I obviously didn't he was either."

" does he know that you know?"

"ok here's the deal see the other night after I left the ice house, well I decided to surprise Dawson so I decided as usual to climb through his window but when I did I caught him making out with Nikki a girl from his film class, well he told me that he was rehearsing a scene from his movie, well I didn't think anything of it until tonight when I was talking to Jen and I saw Dawson talking to Nikki

I still really didn't think anything was up until I was talking to Andie and Dawson came up and said that he was going to go home cause he wasn't feeling well I asked him if he wanted me to go with him and he said he was going to leave with Jack. Well Andie tells me that Jack left an hour ago with some guy he met so needless to say Dawson didn't leave with Jack. So there you have it Pace." starts crying

" Jo I- I don't know what to say." in shock

" it's ok I just don't understand why he would do something like that, I thought Dawson was different. I never thought he'd do something like this to me."

" Dawson's an idoit."

" what did you say?" stunned by Pacey's remark

" I said Dawson's an idoit for cheating on you, ok from the way I see it that you deserve so much better than Dawson Leary." puts a comforting arm around Joey

" what do you mean I deserve better?" offended

" what I mean is that Dawson doesn't deserve you, Jo I may be out of line when I say this but you are an amazing woman you're smart, beautiful and the most caring person I've ever met and if Dawson can't see that then he's blind Joey."

" you really think that Pacey?" leans her head on his shoulder

" yeah I do you may be a pain in the ass but any man would be stupid not love you." leans his head down to kiss Joey

" what the hell was that for Pace, are you completely out of your mind?" pushes Pacey into the creek.

" my god woman are you trying to kill me?" pulls himself out of the creek

" don't tempt me Pace." gives him one of her famous looks

" Jo look I'm sorry I just thought-"

" you thought what that you'd take advantage of me what Pacey?" cuts Pacey off

" no I just thought that you wanted to kiss me but I guess I was wrong on that one wasn't I?" throws his hands up in frustration

" you think?"

" look I'm sorry for kissing you I was wrong ok so how about we just forget that this ever happend

and go on our way." starts to walk off

" fine by me."

" good so I'll see you in class tomorrow then."

" yep."

Pacey exits

"urgh!" yells in frustration "why do I let him get to me like that, and why did I let him kiss me? Pacey Witter of all people had to kiss me but the thing is that I kinda liked it not that I'm going to let Pacey know that guess I better go back inside now and figure out what I'm going to do about Pacey."

Joey walks back to the party.
