Joey read the letter slowly. Dawson was gone, she had chased him away. Just like he chased her. She began to cry silently.

''Jo, what's wrong?'' Mark's gentle voice asked, walking into her room.

Joey looked up at him and shook her head. He knew she was lying.

''Jo, please. What's wrong?'' he asked again, more urgently.

She just wrapped her arms around him and cried, the letter slowly falling to the floor.

Once she was calmed down enough, Joey went into the bathroom to wash her face. That's when Mark found the letter. He picked it up and began to read it. Joey exited the bathroom and froze.

''Mark, that's personal.'' she said, trying to get the letter from him, but she was too late.

''What happened between you and Dawson?'' Mark asked.

''Mark...'' she said.

''What happend.'' he asked again.

''We kissed.'' she whispered.

Mark stared at her, painfully.

''I thought you were over him.'' he said.

''So did I.'' Joey said, quietly.

''What about us?' Mark asked.

''I don't know.'' Joey whispered.

''How could you do this to me?'' he asked.

''He loves me!'' Joey yelled. ''Mark, do you have any idea how hard this is for me? I came here, trying to get over Dawson and I met you. You became this incredible man and I fell for you! But I don't know what do to right now. I have to choose between my first love and my new love and it's hard!''

Mark sighed.

''Joey, I love you. I want to be with you. Please, tell me you feel the same.'' Mark pleaded.

''Mark, I need time. Please, just leave me alone for a while.'' Joey whispered.

Mark nodded, reluctantly, and left.

Age 5

''Hi, I'm Dawson Leery.''

''I'm Joey Potter.''

Little Joey pushed him down and ran, as Dawson ran after her.

Age 7

''Come on Joey! ET starts in five mintues!'' called Dawson.

Joey ran over to him.

''I'm here. I could never miss ET!'' Joey exclaimed.

Age 9

''Dawson this movie is scary!'' Joey exclaimed.

''Don't worry Jo. I'll protect you.'' Dawson said, holding her hand tightly

Age 10

''Dawson...my mom's real sick.'' Joey whispered.

''I know Jo. I'm here for you.'' Dawson whispered back.

They hugged.

Age 12

''She's gone. I can't believe she's gone.'' cried Joey as Dawson hugged her tightly.

Age 14

''Joey loves Dawson! Joey loves Dawson!'' Pacey shouted, holding up Joey's notebook that had Dawson's name written all over it.

''Give it back Pacey!'' shouted Joey.

Joey sighed as the memorys washed over her. She glanced at the picture on her night stand once more and smilied. She loved Dawson, she had since she was twelve. Mark couldn't change that.

Mark...she thought quietly.

''Vous semblez beau.'' Mark told her quietly.

''Translate to English please.'' Joey requested.

''You look beautiful.'' Mark said.

''I like you Joey. Vous êtes parfait.'' he said.

Joey shot him a puzzled look.

''You are perfect.'' he said, causing Joey to blush.

''Joey, I love you. I want to be with you. Please, tell me you feel the same.'' Mark pleaded.

Why was this so hard!? It would be easier if Mark was a jerk or if Dawson hadn't come to Paris. Joey snak down on her bed, thinking of both the men she loved. How could she choose?

She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

''I love you, Dawson.'' she said, quietly, avoiding any eye contact.

''I love you!'' he exclaimed.

Joey woke with a start.

She knew who she wanted.

She always knew.

Capeside, Mass

Dawson sighed and popped in ET once more. He had been watching it ever since they came home from Paris. He blew it. Joey wanted Mark, how could he possible think she wouldn't move on.

His friends were all worried about him. Pacey had tried to get him to go to the Realto but that reminded him of Joey. Andie wanted to take him to lunch at the Ice House., but used to work there. He couldn't leave his room without thinking of Joey and now, he was watching ET to punish himself.

If only he had told how before Paris, then she be right here with him, in his arms.

He heard a noise outside his window.

''Go home Jen. I wanna be alone!'' Dawson shouted.

''I'm not Jen. Can I come in?'' an all too familer voice asked.

Dawson stood in shock as Joey came in through the window.

''What are you doing here?'' Dawson asked.

''Talking to you.'' Joey answered.

''Joey, what about Mark. What about Paris?'' he asked.

''You know, Paris isn't that cool. I mean, once you've seen everything, it's really no fun. And no one speaks English. As for Mark...a part of me truly loved him.'' Joey said.

''And the rest?'' Dawson asked.

''Always loved you.'' Joey whispered.

Dawson couldn't stop the huge smile from forming on his face.

''Dawson, I want an us.'' she said, grinning brightly at him.

''So do I'' he said.

Joey smilied and move towards him.

''I love you.'' he whispered, leaning down to kiss her.

''I know.'' she whispered back.

They kissed passionatly.

''You wanna stay?'' Dawson asked, after they broke apart.

''There's no where else I'd rather be.'' Joey said, honestly.

They kissed again and laid down on the bed together.

''I love you.'' Joey whispered into his ear.

''I know.'' he whispered back.
