AN: Sorry guys. The story is finished I just got busy and forgot to update it here. I'll try getting the rest of the chapters posted soon. Here's Chapter 7.

Jen's POV:

"Damn, this stuff is really starting to come down," Jack commented as we walked through the Capeside High parking lot toward my car. "You know Jen, my place is closer. You could stay there with me tonight instead of driving out to the B & B. We'll call them and tell them where you're at."

I smiled. It was nice to have someone to worry about me. To look out for me. To be my knight in shining armor. That was my Jack. Of course being me, my knight in shining armor would be gay and therefore have no interest in actually getting the girl.

"I'll be fine Jack. The roads aren't that bad yet and besides even if I'm with you Grams will worry all night about me if I'm not out there with her."

"Okay then. Lets get this car cleaned off for you," Jack said as we reached the rental. "You do have a scraper right?"

"Threw it in the back seat," I told him.

Jack brushed snow off with his gloved hand so he could get to the door handle as I hit the keyless entry twice, unlocking the doors. Retrieving the scraper out of the back seat, Jack began the task of clearer off the windows.

"Get inside and start warming up the car," he told me.

"I should probably help you."

"I'll be fine," Jack said. "Get inside."

Without any further words of protest I did as he said. I was starting to get cold standing out in the snow anyways. Opening the driver side door I got in, turned the car on and cranked up the heat. The thought of that nice big fire out at the B & B was getting more and more inviting.

"All done," Jack said a little while later when he opened the back door and tossed the scraper inside again. "Take it easy and call me when you get there."

"I will," I told him. "Thanks Jack."

"No problem," he replied as he shut the door and then headed over to his car.

I backed the car slowly out of the parking spot, and made my way across the parking lot. As I approached the exit, I saw a plow go by. At least part of the road will have just been plowed, I thought to myself as I pulled onto the street. Staying well below the speed limit, I made my way through the downtown part of Capeside. As soon as I started getting away from the businesses and stuff, I could tell the difference in the road. These roads hadn't been plowed in quit awhile.

I thought about turning around, and heading back to Jack's apartment. Then I thought about Grams out at the B & B. Like I told Jack, I knew she would worry about me if I wasn't out there with her. With new determination I trudged on, knowing it was going to take me longer than usual to get out there.

As I kept going I noticed the storm start picking up. I was desperately wishing I wasn't out here by myself and also hoping that Joey and Dawson didn't attempt to get to home. Pacey lived in town. Maybe they would all go there or stay with Jack. I should've probably stayed with Jack.

Suddenly I saw a dark shape dart out in front of my car. I put on the brakes to avoid the deer and felt the back of the car slide. Gripping the steering wheel I found myself reciting the Lord's Prayer. Finally I felt the car come to a stop.

I slowly opened my eyes. I hadn't even realized I had them shut until the point. The deer was nowhere to be seen. The car sat at an angle on the side of the road. With a sigh, I let off the brake and slowly applied the gas. I heard and felt my back tires spin. Putting the car in park, I climbed out of the car to see exactly what the situation was.

Getting out I walked toward the back of the car. When the car had slid, the back tires had ended up in a ditch on the side of the road. There was no way I was getting the car out by myself. Looking around I tried to determine exactly where I was. I knew I'd have to call someone but who should I call. Jack would definitely come and get me but I was pretty sure I was closer to the B & B now rather than town. If I called Grams she would get all upset. Perhaps I could just call the B & B and talk to Bess and Bodie. Bodie would come out and get me.

I got back in the car, where it was warmer and dug my cell phone out. I was looking through my contact numbers when I the headlights of an approaching car shined onto my car. I looked in the mirror trying to figure out who it was. It didn't take me long to realize it was a Capeside Police Cruiser. For the first time in my life, I was actually happy to see the police show up.

Putting the cell phone back in my pocket I climbed back out of the car. The officer was already out and approaching the car. I tried to determine if I recognized him. It didn't take me long to realize it was Pacey's brother Doug.

"Jen are you okay?" he asked as he realized who I was.

"I'm fine. I hit the brakes to avoid a deer and my back tires ended up in the ditch."

"Is it just you?"

"Yeah. Joey headed back over to Leery's Fresh Fish after the movie with Andie to meet up with Pacey and Dawson and Jack headed to his apartment. I'm starting to think I should have taken his offer to stay with him tonight."

"That probably would have been the safer route," Doug agreed. "Let's see if we can get you back on the road again."

Doug and I tried for about ten minutes to get the back tires out of the ditch. I'm not sure the car ever moved at all.

"Turn it off," Doug called out to me.

I did as he told me and got out, walking toward the bck of the car where he was. He was leaning against the trunk of the car trying to catch his breath.

"This car isn't going anywhere tonight," he told me. "Anything in there you're going to need."

I shook my head.

"Okay. I'll mark the car as abandoned for you and then drive you out to the B & B. We can come back after the storm has passed and try getting the car out of the ditch. Why don't you go ahead and get in the cruiser."

I did as I was told, climbing in the passenger side of the police cruiser. Doug grabbed a white and red cloth from his trunk and then headed back to my car. He tied both to the antenna of the car.

"What's with the red cloth?" I asked as he climbed in behind the wheel. I knew the white meant the car had been abandoned.

"That's so if any other officers come across it, they know its already been checked out," Doug told me putting on his seat belt and reaching for his radio.

"Dispatch this is Adam-3."

"Go ahead Adam-3."

"Came across a stranded motorist out on Langlers Lane. We're leaving the car and I'm going to drive her out to the Potter B & B, where she's staying."

"10-4 Adam-3."

As he put the car into drive I looked out the window. The snow was coming down harder now than it had been when the deer had darted out in front of me. Looking out the windshield you could barely see to the edge of the light from the head lights.

I took my cell phone out.

"Who are you calling?"

"Joey," I replied. "If she hasn't already left town I'm going to tell her to stay put."

Pacey's POV:

Our last customer's left twenty minutes after Gale did. By that time most of the clean-up was done as Andie and Joey had pitched in to help Dawson and myself out. Andie and I were putting bar stools up on the bar so they were out of Joey's way who was sweeping the floor. Dawson was busy balancing the restaurant out for the night, something that I had gotten use to do when Gale wasn't here, but a task I was more than happy to let Dawson do.

I heard a cell phone ring. I knew it wasn't mine. I looked around the room to see whose it was. Joey was leaning the broom up against a near by table and getting her cell phone out.

I went back to the clean up task, not wanting to eaves drop on Joey. If she wanted to let us know who had call us she would. That didn't mean I wasn't curious though. I sat the last of the bar stools up on the bar and walked toward the closet where we kept the mop and bucket.

"I think we should just spot mop tonight Dawson," I called over to him.

"That's fine with me," Dawson replied. "Who was that Jo?" Dawson asked as Joey put her phone away.

"Jen," Joey replied. "She advised me and you not to try and make it out to our houses tonight. She said the roads are bad and its getting worse. She got stuck in a ditch trying to avoid a deer but she's fine. Doug came by and is driving her out to the B & B."

"You guys can stay at my place. If need be we can walk over there," I told them.

"Thanks Pacey," Joey said.

"Yeah thanks," Dawson said a little absently. "I'm going to call my Mom and see if she made it home okay," he said walking over to the phone behind the bar.

"Andie, maybe you should just stay with us too. My place is closer than Jack's and I don't feel comfortable letting you go out there alone in the storm," I told her.

I was expecting an argument out of her. A protest, that she would be fine. She didn't need me looking out for her and that she was going to go to her brother's apartment. Instead she just nodded. I could see the worry in her eyes. I wanted to go over and wrap her in a hug but I held back. Sure Andie and I had remained friends after I had broke up with her but we weren't as close as we use to be. I wasn't sure she would even want to be comforted by me.

"You should probably call Jack," I suggested. "Tell him your coming over to my place with the rest of us.

"Yeah, I'll call Jack," she said reaching for her purse that was sitting on the bar.

I went back to my spot mopping. I suddenly wanted to get done and back to the house I shared with Doug as soon as possible. At least there we could wait out the storm in relative safety.
