Chapter #14
(Jen's pov)
" Hey Pace, have you seen Joey lately? She's been non existent lately.", I ask as I walk up behind Pacey. Joey has been avoiding everyone lately I wonder what is wrong with her these days. Whenever Jack or I ask if she wants to hangout she always comes up with reasons not to. Something had to have happened that she doesn't want to talk about. The question is what though?
" You're asking the wrong person Jen.", comments Pacey with a frown at mention of Joey's name. Huh, that's weird, those two have gotten fairly close as of recently. I wonder what could have happened to change that? Did they get into another one of their shouting matches? Joey and Pacey are known for arguing with one another. Its the one thing the both of them seem to do best actually.
" I thought you and Joey were getting pretty close? What happened Pace?", I question when curiosity finally gets the best of me. It must be something big if he doesn't even want to talk about it. I have never seen Pacey act like this. He almost looks upset right now. I hope that everything is alright with him and that nothing happened.
" I would rather not talk about it Jen.", grumbles Pacey in a gruff tone. Whoa now that is definitely a first. Pacey not wanting to talk about something? I wonder what could have possibly happened to make him so moody. I'll find out what is going on with the two of them one way or another. I'm good at extracting information.
Raising a confused eye brow, with a laugh I tease," Why? What did you do this time, Pace?"
Regarding me with a frown, Pacey kicks at the ground," I kissed Joey."
" Good for you Pacey, its about time.", I congratulate with a laugh and a smile. I always knew that Pacey had it in him. It was only a matter of time before he made his move on Potter. I'm glad that he finally took a chance and kissed her. Why doesn't he sound excited about things though? Did Joey not react well to him kissing her?
" Joey didn't seem to feel the same way.", mutters Pacey in a bitter tone. Wow, he really doe not sound too about. I guess Joey didn't react too nicely to him kissing her. Poor Pacey. I'm really feeling for him right now. I know how much he likes her. If Joey rejected him, he is probably heart broken right about now. I wish that there were something that I could do to make him feel better.
" Why? What happened Pace?", I inquire in a hesitant manner. I'm pretty sure that I already know what happened, but I need to hear it from Pacey to know for sure. I'm thinking that Joey didn't take Pacey making a move on her out of no where too well. If I know Joey, she was probably yell and hitting him a lot. Not wonder the poor guy is upset.
" She reacted the exact same way I knew that she would, she freaked out Jen.", explains Pacey with a hurt and rejected look in his eyes. My heart really goes out to him right now. I know how hard it must have been for Pacey to put himself out there the way that he did. Then to have Joey freak out on him the way that she did? He must be a wreck right now.
Unsure what to say or do, I pat Pacey on the back," I'm sorry Pace, I can tell you really like her a lot." ….(End Jen's pov)

Chapter #15
(Pacey's pov)
" Pacey, can I talk to you?", asks Dawson before sitting beside me at lunch. Glancing up from eating my pudding, I glance in Dawson's direction. Oh great. Dawson isn't exactly someone that I want to see right now. I already feel guilty for what I did. What the hell was I thinking? Why did I kiss Joey. That had to have been hands down the worst thing that I could have ever done. Joey probably hates me right now.
" Yeah, sure. What's up Dawson?", I question while not wanting to meet Dawson's eye. Please don't question me about Joey, please do not question me about Joey. That is the last thing that I need him to do. It is no that Joey and I have been avoiding one another lately. Whenever I show up and Joey's around? She makes just about any excuse that she can think of to high tale it out of here. It was only a matter of time before Dawson and the others noticed the fact that Joey can no longer stand the sight of me these days.
" Do you know what has been going on with Joey lately?", inquires Dawson much to my disliking. What's going on with Joey? She hates me that is what's going on with her. Joey flipped out on me when I kissed her. Its my own fault though. I knew there was a chance that Joey would react the way that she did when I kissed her. Then, like some kind of an idiot I went and took a chance anyway. Now she won't even look at me. What am I supposed to do if she never speaks to me again?
" Why are you asking me Dawson?", I frown before pushing my empty tray away from me. This conversation is the last thing that I want to be having right now. Every time I look in Dawson's direction, I can't help but feel guilty. I'm supposed to be his best friend. How could I have betrayed his trust the way that I did? If Dawson ever found out, he would probably never forgive me. Then I would be down a life long best friend all over a stupid kiss.
With a shrug of his shoulders, Dawson pokes at the contents of his lunch," What do you mean? I'm asking because you and Joey have gotten real close lately, thought maybe she told you something."
Taking a drink from my soda, I scratch at the back of my neck," We're not as close as you think Dawson. I haven't talked to Joey in a week and a half."
" Why? What did you do to tick Joey off this time Pace?", teases Dawson with a playful nudge. What did I do this time? Why does Dawson automatically think that I did something wrong? I'm not all that sure that I like his tone right now. What, so suddenly whenever Joey is upset about something I'm the one to blame? That's a bit of an over statement if you ask me.
" Why does everyone always assume that I did something wrong whenever Joey is upset?", I complain with a hint of agitation in my tone. Fine, so maybe this time I did do something that ticked Joey off. That's not to say that I always agitate her. Joey and I bicker and argue all the time. Its all meant in good fun though. Maybe Joey's just having an off week, did anyone ever consider that? I doubt Joey is going to let something as trivial as a harmless kiss ruin her entire week. Especially if it meant absolutely nothing to her to begin with.
Glancing over at me with arched eye brows, Dawson shakes his head with a laugh, no offense but you do seem to rub Joey the wrong way a lot of the time Pacey."
Frowning to myself, I toss out my empty lunch tray," All I did was kiss her."
" Wait, what did you just say? Did you just say that you kissed Joey?", question Dawson as he now turns his full attention to me now. Crap. Shit! Did I just say that out loud. I am such an idiot! Great, now Dawson knows? What am I supposed to do? Lie? Laugh it off? There's no way he's going to drop things that easily. I might as well tell him the truth and get this over with. Guess I can probably kiss goodbye to my friendship with Dawson.
" What? ….Actually, yeah. I kissed her, I did it be cause I like Joey. I have liked her for a while, Dawson. I'm not exactly sure what came over me, I wasn't thinking straight at the time.", I admit much to not only my surprise but Dawson's as well. There, its out there Dawson knows now. There's no denying it anymore. I like Joey. He was bound to find out sooner or later, better that he hear it from me than from anyone else. ….(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #16
(Joey's pov)
" Hey Dawson, I was hoping we could...Pacey. Uh, never mind I could always talk to you later.", I remark in an awkward tone at sight of Pacey. Great. I was hoping that I wouldn't run into Pacey. He's kind of the last person that I want to see right now. What the hell am I supposed to do right now? I can't exactly take off running, Dawson would only question me why later. I need to think of a reason to leave and quick.
" Nice to see you too, Joe.", comments Pacey in hurt voice. Risking a glance over at him, I can't help but sigh. Maybe I was a little harsh on Pacey the other day. I shouldn't have yelled and hit him the way that I did. Its just, I was taken by surprise. I wasn't exactly expecting to be kissed by Pacey anytime soon. Once upon a time the two of us couldn't stand one another, now? I'm not so sure anymore.
" Can I ask you something Joey?", asks Dawson from beside me. For a minute, I almost forgot that he was here. I just can't seem to get the sudden guilty feeling out of the pit of my stomach. I didn't exactly do anything wrong though. I didn't kiss Pacey, it was the other way around. He kissed me. It doesn't seem to matter though, I still feel guilty. I can't help thinking that I somehow betrayed Dawson's trust. I'm afraid to look him in the eye right now, I know if I do he'll know something is wrong.
" What about Dawson?", I question hesitantly not really wanting to know the answer. Somehow I feel as though I'm walking into a trap right now. Did Pacey say something to Dawson about what happened between the two of us? ….No, no Pacey wouldn't do something that stupid. Would he? If he did, Dawson is probably furious right now. I should probably proceed with caution for a while until I know what it is he wants to know.
Picking up his backpack, Dawson shoves a few books inside," Did you and Pacey kiss?
Glaring over at Pacey, I slap at his chest," You told Dawson?! Pacey, what the hell?!"
" He is my best friend, Joe. I had to tell him. Besides, I like you and thought you should know.", confesses Pacey truthfully as he looks me in my eyes finally. Unsure what to say, do or even think, I merely stare at Pacey in astonishment. Did he just say what I think he just said? Did I really hear Pacey correctly? He likes me? How? Since when? I don't even know what to say right now. I don't know if I'm angry, or if I'm scared. Dawson is awfully quiet, this can't be a good thing.
" You like me? That is your excuse for kissing me? Well, the feeling is not mutual Pacey. God, I really hate you sometimes you know that!", I lash out in anger before I have a chance to stop myself. The look in Pacey's eyes right now is slowly killing me. Its one of pain and heart ache. I just really hurt Pacey. I am such an idiot! What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't console Pacey, I just rejected him for god sake If I could take back what I just said, I would in an instant. Not knowing what else to do, I take off running. I'm not sure where it is that I'm running to, all I know is that I need to get as from away from here as possible. I can't stand to see the hurt in Pacey's eyes any longer. ...(End Joey's pov)

Chapter #17
(Pacey's pov)
" What am I supposed to do here Pacey? How am I supposed to react?", asks Dawson after we both watch Joey take off in the opposite direction. How are you supposed to react? I don't know and I personally don't care right now Dawson. If you want to hate me, that's fine. I could really care less right now. I just told Jackie that I liked her and she said she hates me. That hurt to hear. I'm not shocked by her reaction, but to say that she hated me? Joey had to know that I was going to take her saying that to heart.
" I don't know, Dawson. Hate me if you want to, its not my fault that I fell for Joey. Can you honestly blame me? Look at her, the girl is freaking beautiful Dawson. What guy in his right mind wouldn't fall for Joey Potter? You did, what would make you think that I wouldn't too sooner or later?", I explain with a sigh before shaking my head in disbelief. Guess that I really screwed things up this time didn't I? Joey hates me and there is a high chance that I'm about to loose Dawson as a best friend. He had to have known there was a chance that I would fall for Joey when he asked me to look after her all those months ago. How could he expect me not to? The girl is...there are no words to describe Joey. She's smart, amazing, funny, cute when she's angry and incredibly gorgeous
" What, are you going to try and tell me your in love with her now? Is that it, Pace?", inquires Dawson with a roll of his eyes. Why would that be so hard to believe? Once upon a time, Dawson fell for Joey only to wind up breaking her heart. Now? I'm crazy about Joey. Do I love her? Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that I like her. If Dawson wants to hate me for making a move on Joey, that's fine. But I don't regret it for one second. I shouldn't have to, its not as though I'm trying to hide it from him or anything. I was upfront with Dawson, I'll be it by mistake but still. If I hadn't slipped up and told him, it would have only been a matter of time before I was upfront with him about how I feel about Joey. Dawson is one of my oldest friends aside from Joey. He deserves for me to tell him the truth. Whether he likes what he found out just now, that's not really my problem.
" Would it be so hard to believe if I were Dawson?", I question more than a little offended by Dawson's inquiry. He of all people should know how easy it is to fall for Joey. I don't know why he is so upset. I could have lied to him. I could have never told Dawson how I felt and persued Joey behind his back. But I didn't did I? No, I told him what was going on with me and how I kissed Joey. Sure I might have gone about things the wrong way. I probably should have talked to Dawson first about how I felt about Joey. But I can't help how things turned out. I couldn't help myself. When Joey told me that I was one of only two people that knows her, I lost all control. Before I could stop myself, I leaned in and kissed Joey. That's when she freaked out and started yelling and hitting me. That's when everything went to hell as I know it.
Shaking the tenseness from his shoulders, Dawson finds the nearest seat in our science class," Well, seeing as how Joey just made it clear she doesn't like you. I guess it doesn't really matter how you feel about her, you don't even stand a chance Pace." ….(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #18
(Joey's pov)
" Hey Jen, Jack. Have either of you seen Pacey around?", I ask out of breath as I run up behind the two of them. I have been looking for Pacey everywhere. I really need to talk with him, its important. I need to apologize to him for the way that I acted the other day. The look on Pacey's face when I said that I didn't like him back and how I hated him...its one I haven't been able to get rid of. As soon as I said those words, I immediately wished that I could take them back. Truth is, I didn't mean any of what I had said. I was just upset. I wanted to be the one who told Dawson about my and Pacey's kiss. I wanted to tell Dawson because...well, I think that I might like Pacey. Dawson needed to hear that from me, but now everything is ruined.
" What is it to you, Joey? Why do you even care?", remarks Jen as she directed an irritated look in my direction. Ouch. Guess she knows about what happened from the sound of her voice. I can't really blame Jen for being skeptical with me. Its know secret that I really hurt Pacey's feelings the other day with everything that I said to him. I was confused, scared and angry though. If I could take back everything mean and hurtful that I said to Pacey yesterday and the day that he kissed me, I would in an instant. The last thing that I would ever want to do is break Pacey's already fractured heart.
" No offense Joey, but haven't you hurt the poor guy enough?", questions Jack with a growing frown. God, they are not going to lay off of me are they? I get it. Jen and Jack are both angry with me for the way I treated Pacey. Don't they think that I already feel terrible enough for the way I reacted? The last thing I need is for these two to make me feel even more guilty than I already do about things.
" I need to talk with him, its really important.", I confide with a sigh as I try desperately to calm my nerves and slow my pulse. What could Pacey possibly be? I have looked just about everywhere for him that I could think of. I searched his boat, the docks, Deputy Doug's, I even went searching for him at his house. No such luck though. I have no idea where he is. Jen and Jack are my last hope. Somehow I doubt they are going to say if they know where he is though.
Rolling her eyes at me, Jen laughs bitterly to herself," Why? Do you want to tell him again how much you hate him? I don't understand you Joe, first you act like you want nothing to do with Pacey. Now, suddenly its important that you talk with him? Haven't you hurt the poor guy enough, Joey? Pacey liked you a lot and you shattered his heart."
Becoming irritated with Jen's attitude, I fold my arms across my chest," Don't you think that I know what I did Jen? Everyone makes mistakes, I'm no exception to the rule. Now are you going to tell me where Pacey is or not?" ….(End Joey's pov)
