Next morning at the Potter B&B

"Josephine Lillian Potter get your butt out of bed!" Bessie yelled up the stairs

" ow ok I'm up just stop yelling." grabs her head and winces in pain. Pulls the covers off her and notices that she's wearing Pacey's sweatshirt. " ahh." screams and jumps up out of her bed." ok how did I get Pacey's sweatshirt?" shakes her head and grabs some clothes from her dresser and heads to take a shower. " ok I'm just going to take a shower and try to figure this out later."

starts to open the door when she hears indistinct singing. Opens the bathroom door and screams " oh my god what the hell are you doing here, if Bessie catches you in here she's going to kill you."

" jeez woman don't you know how to knock." steps out of the shower and puts a towel on

" w-well I didn't think I had to knock seeing this is MY bathroom." is obviously embarrassed by Pacey being in a towel

" good point there Potter." smiles at Joey

" ok care to explain why you're in my shower?"

" well see after I dropped you off I went home and well seems that Dougie had a friend stay the night so which meant I need a place to crash, I was going to stay at Dawson's house but he wasn't home yet so I came over here and Bessie told me to take the couch, now do you mind?" motions her to leave

" wait you said that Dawson wasn't home I thought he was going home I know he said he left with Jack but Jack was gone when Dawson said he was going home." tears start to well up in her eyes

" Jo are you alright?" lays his hand on her shoulder

" I'm fine Pace I'm going to go use Bessie's bathroom." Joey leaves

" ok I guess I'll see you downstairs Jo." Pacey Yells out the bathroom door.

" well it's about time you join the land of the living." Bessie hands her a plate of pancakes

" thanks." takes the plate and sits down.

" so how was Jen's party?" pours a cup of coffee and sits down next to Joey

" ugh can we not talk about that right now." groans and takes a bite of her pancakes

" come on Jo it can't be that bad." pleas with Joey to tell her

" oh yes it can be."

" how?"

" ok for starters Dawson spent practically the whole evening with Nikki, and then he ends up leaving with her and oh yeah Pacey went insane and kissed me."

" he what?" Bessie spits

geez Bessie I just took a shower." wipes coffee off her shirt

" I'm sorry I can't believe he kissed you." helps Joey clean up the coffee. "so?" leans closer to Joey

" so what?" gives Bessie a confused look

" well what happened?"

" I pushed him in the creek." gets up to put her plate in the sink

" you didn't?" gasps

" Oh I did." laughs " "I'm going upstairs to get a different shirt." Joey starts to go up the stairs when she bumps into Pacey who is going down the stairs.

" um... sorry there Pace." shyly

" hey it's ok Potter."

upstairs Joey is looking in her closet for a shirt. Pulls out a shirt ( to self) " that won't work" searches through her closet " urg why am I so concerned about what I'm wearing it's not like anyone's going to notice." grabs a light pink spaghetti strap shirt out and puts it on. "perfect." looks at herself in the mirror and smiles.

Downstairs Pacey and Bessie are talking

" so I hear you and Joey had a nice time last night." hands Pacey a cup of coffee

" if that's what she told you then yeah we had a good time." surprised by Bessie's comment

Bessie just smiles at Pacey. Joey walks into the kitchen

" hey Bess could I get a ride to school today?

Alex starts crying

" I'm kind of busy Joey see if Pacey will take you seeing you two go to the same school." picks Alex up.

"Bess I'd gladly give Joey a ride" Pacey looks at Joey and smiles

" I'd rather walk thanks." gives Pacey a disgusted look.

" aww come on Jo I promise not to bite( pauses) well unless you want me to?" gives her a mischievous grin

" fine let's go, but I swear if you touch me I'll kill you." grabs Pacey by the arm

" ok we're going, bye Bessie."

" bye Pacey bye Joey." smiles at them both

Pacey and Joey leave.

Sorry it has taken me so long to update. I promise next chapter will be better than this one.
