Best to Open your EyesCorrected

After Mr. Marshals opened the door, both Dawson and Jen went inside the empty house. They could not believe what they were seeing or what they were not seeing. The abandoned house was empty. This house was empty as the day Pacey moved to New York. Pacey Witter was not here.

"Where on earth is he?" Jen wondered.

"As if I know…" Dawson said shyly.

"Maybe we should just go." Jen suggested.

"And leave it like this?... Jen aren't you slightly curious to know where Pacey is living." Dawson asked.

"And how on earth do you think we are going to find him? We're not like a missing person squad. We're two teenagers." Jen stated.

"Mr. Marshals… Have you had any contacts with the Witter's?" Dawson compromised.

"Well… No… Well, maybe. Even if I did, I have a strict confidentiality with my tenants." Mr. Marshals declared.

"Please… He's been our friend for such a long time. Can't you let your policy slip this one time?" Jen begged.

"Well, okay." Mr. Marshals intervened.

Dawson and Jen went up the stairs of an apartment complex. This apartment complex was dark and interesting. Pacey's first home was not paradise, but it was much better than this. Why was he living somewhere inferior?

"Dawson, do you think we should leave?" Jen questioned.

"Leave?" Dawson ignored.

"If Pacey wanted us to come here, then he would have already invited us. Don't you think we're stepping over our boundaries?" Jen speculated.

"Jen… I don't know how to explain this, but this is something I have to do?" He debated.

"But why this? I mean all of this is pointless Dawson… You can't solve a problem with your eyes closed and you can't solve problem without knowing what you want." Jen pondered.

"After last year, I think I'll be able to handle anything that comes my way… Okay, here we are." Dawson clarified. They both stopped in front of the door. This apartment door belonged to Pacey. Somehow, knocking on it would be more difficult.

"I'll knock." Jen gave in and decided that seeing their old friend, was worth it.

Jen knocked on the door. A few seconds past, but to them, it seemed like a lifetime. What were they suppose to say to him? Was it too late to leave?

"Who is it?" A female voice shouted inside the apartment.

"Uh, we're looking for Pacey Witter… But we must have the wrong apartment." Dawson said disappointed.

"Let's go Dawson… I lost my hopes too many times." Jen declared.

The door opened and the female voice said, "Pacey isn't here, but if you want… Dawson is that you?"

They turned around and Dawson was shocked to see who was standing at the door. At the door, there was a girl. It wasn't any girl. It was Pacey's sister, Gretchen. However, what shocked them the most was the fact the she was holding a baby boy.

"Gretchen… What are you doing back here?" Dawson said.

"I'm taking a little break from college… What about you? Why haven't you been around here lately?" Gretchen marveled.

"Well, we didn't know that Pacey lived here… Who is this?" Dawson wondered about the baby.

"Umm, it's a friend's… I'm babysitting." Gretchen said hesitant, "And yeah. When Pacey found out that I moved here, he decided to come back to Capeside."

"Oh… Where's my manners…. This is my friend, well Pacey's friend too. This is Jen Linley." Dawson introduced.

"Hello." Gretchen greeted.

"Hi." Jen whispered. However, Jen couldn't speak. Her entire body was in motionless… Her mind was disturbed because she knew that baby. That baby was Joshua, Pacey and Joey's son.
