Chapter #19
(Pacey's pov)
" I'm right here, Joe.", I acknowledge as I walk up behind her. Got to admit, right now I thought that I would be the last person that Joey wanted to see. After she took off the other day, I was convinced that Joey would never want to speak to me again. Yet here she is, asking for me and wanting to know where I am. Why does she want to see me? Why does Joey look as though she's out of breath? Whatever she wants, it must be important.
" Pacey, can we please talk?", asks Joey before taking my hand in her own. Staring down at my hand in Joey's, I sigh heavily to myself. Do I really want to hear whatever it is that Joey has to say? Whatever it is, it can't be good. Risking a glance down into Joey's eyes, I notice the silent plea that lies just beyond her desperate gaze. Who am I kidding? I can't say no to Joey when she's look at me the way that she is. Even if whatever Joey is about to say kills me, I'm going to hear her out whether I like it or not.
" Yeah, sure. We can talk, Potter.", I respond with a slight nod of my head. What could Joey possibly want to talk with me about? Is she here to apologize for the way she acted? Joey should know that she doesn't have to do that. I know that Joey didn't mean any of the harsh things that she said to me. She was just upset, which is understandable. I just wish that Joey felt the same way about me as I do about her. Guess that's probably asking too much though.
" Is that a good idea Pacey?", questions Jack with a frown on his face. While I understand both Jack and Jen's concern, sooner or later Joey have to sort things out. I might as well get this conversation over with. The sooner Joey lets me down the better. I already know that I don't stand a chance in hell with her. I just wish that she knew how much I care about her, then maybe she would at least give me a chance.
Glancing back at Jack, I turn my attention back to Joey," Yeah, its not like she can hurt me anymore than she already has. You wanted to talk Joe?"
Not exactly sure what to say, Joey looks up at me quietly," I came to apologize Pacey. I didn't mean any of what I said the other day."
" Well, this is a first Potter. You're going to have to be more specific, Joe.", I point out in a gruff tone. Startled when Joey walks into my arms, I awkwardly wrap her in my embrace. Joey seems to be full of all sorts of surprises today. For the life of me, I will never figure this girl out. One day I'm convinced she hates me, and she next I'm not so sure. Joey keeps on throwing me curve balls. I wish that she would make up her mind already and make my life a whole lot easier.
Taking a long breath, Joey looks down at her hands," I don't hate you, Pace. I was just mad."
Sitting down beside Joey on the docks, I stare out across the creek," Mad that I told him?"
" Well, yeah. But only because you beat me to the punch Pacey.", admits Joey with a hesitant smile on her face. I beat her to the punch? What is that supposed to me? Was Joey planning on tell Dawson that I kissed her? I don't get it. Why would Joey want to do that? Why is she smiling at me like that? I must have missed something. Before I go jumping to conclusions, I should probably let Joey explain herself first. I wouldn't want to get my hopes up for nothing. ….(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #20
(Joey's pov)
" What do you mean, Joe?", ask Pacey with raised eyebrows. He can't take a wild guess at what it means? Come on Pacey, do I really have to put two and two together for you? It means that I like you, you idiot! I'm not exactly sure when I realized it, all that I knew for sure was that I had to find Dawson and tell him the truth. I had to tell how I felt about Pacey. Then when I finally found Dawson, Pacey had gotten to him before I had the chance to. He told Dawson how he kissed me and when he confronted me about things, I became angry. Before I knew what I was saying, I told Pacey that I hated him and took off.
" I was going to talk to Dawson and tell him everything.", I confide in a quiet tone as I glance up at Pacey for a reaction. The look on his face is one of shock and confusion. Guess its safe to say that he wasn't expecting me to say that. Its the truth though. I had been looking for Dawson all day and when I found him, there was Pacey. I don't know why I became to angry with Pacey. I guess its because I wanted to be the one to tell Dawson how I felt once and for all.
Staring at me with a blank look in his eyes, Pacey opens his mouth only to shut it again," You were? Why Joey?"
Glancing down at my hands sheepishly, I take hold of Pacey's shyly," I wanted to tell him how you kissed me, how angry I was with you. I wanted to pretend that kiss meant nothing Pace, but I can't. I think that I like you, Pacey."
" What does that mean, Joe? You think that you like me, or you know?", asks Pacey before taking a step toward me. Honestly? I'm fairly certain that I know actually. I can't lie to myself anymore. When Pacey kissed me, I felt something. It was...amazing. I'm not sure what it was that I felt, but I know that I have never felt anything like it before.
" I'm pretty sure that I know Pacey.", I confess with a shy smile. Sighing with relief when his arms close around my waist, I hug him back in return. Does this mean that Pacey forgives me for acting like a complete bitch the other day? I hope so. I don't want things to be awkward and tense between Pacey and I. I really just want to see what happens between the two of us.

Chapter #21
(Pacey's pov)
" What am I supposed to do about this Joey?", I ask in defeat, as I stare down at Joey. I'm not sure how I am supposed to react. Joey just admitted that she liked me. I should be happy, but I'm confused. What could Joey possibly see in me? I'm not exactly going anywhere in life. What if I let myself fall even more for Joey and further down the line she decides that she could do better? Then what would I do? I would be crushed.
" I don't know, I was afraid to tell you Pacey. I didn't think you would care considering how I reacted when you kissed me.", confesses Joey in a sad voice, her eyes unable to meet mine. She didn't think that I would care? Why? Because she yelled at me? I understand why Joey was so upset, she was scared and confused. I could never hold against her how she reacted. I probably would have been the same way if things were reversed.
" Why? Joe, its ok. I had a feeling you were just scared and confused.", I offer with a smile as I touch a finger to her chin so her eyes meet mine. Joey should know that she can tell me anything, whether she thinks that I'm mad at her or not. I'll always be there when she needs me. I'm not going anywhere and Joey needs to understand that.
Biting at her bottom lip, Joey offers a quiet nod," I was, Pacey. Ever since you punched Matt Caulfield for ruining my mural, I have felt differently toward you. I didn't know what it meant or how to explain it. All I knew was that I wanted to be near you as much as possible Pacey. No one has ever defended me before, I liked that you did. I feel safe when I'm with you and I like having you around, Pace."
Startled when I notice tears in Joey's eyes, I wipe them away with my thumb," You know, I never thought I would hear you say that Joe."
" I know, it feels weird admitting that I like you Pace.", confides Joey with a shy smile. I'll say that it does. Who would have guessed? Potter is the last girl I thought that I would ever fall for. It wasn't long ago when the two of us were sharing insults and bickering every chance that we could. I'm going to miss those days, I might have to pick a fight with Joey once in a while just to see her angry. Joey's feisty when she's mad and that's just hot in my book.
" You're telling me, Joe. Who would have guessed we would fall for one another.", I joke before placing a kiss on her cheek. This earns a smirk and a chuckle from Joey. Wow, who would have thought that I would be lucky enough to land a girl like Joey? I certainly never did. Until recently I was convinced that Joey was way out of my league, once again she went out of her way to prove me wrong though. Typical Potter, style go figures.
" Not me, that's for sure.", teases Joey in return as she presses her lips to mine. Yeah, I could definitely get used to this. Joey kissing me is the best feeling in the world. She's like my own person drug. I don't know why I didn't make a move on Joey sooner. Kissing her was the best decision that I could have ever made. ….(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #22
(Jen's pov)
" So, whats going on? Are the two of you a thing now or what?", asks Jack when Pacey and Joey walk toward us hand in hand. Jack beat me to the punch, I was just going to ask the exact same thing. Pacey has a permanent smile on his face, that has to be a good sign right? Maybe these two finally managed to work things out? Joey has better not hurt Pace or she will have me to deal with. Pacey is a really great guy. If Joey can't see that she's dense.
" Well let you know when we figure things out.", answer Pacey with his arm securely around Joey's waist. Aww, he looks happy for once. I have never seen Pacey like this before. Not even when he was with Andie. Its obvious he is head over heels for Joey. Good for him. I'm glad to see Pacey finally get what he wants for once. I always figured those two had a thing for each other, what with the way they were always at one anothers throats the way they were? Talk about sexual tension. Its amazing they haven't gotten together sooner.
" You had better not hurt him, Potter. I will come after you.", I warn before folding my arms across my chest. I mean it too. If Joey breaks Pacey's heart, she is going to have me to deal with. I don't think that she will though. Its not hard to see that Joey is completely smitten with Pacey as well, its actually a little sickening come to think of it.
" I'll try not to Jen.", jokes Joey with a smile and a laugh. Damn right you will Potter. The last thing I want to have to do is hunt her down. Looking at Pacey, he is beaming from ear to ear. What is it about Joey that drives guys crazy? I seriously just don't get it. I have to be missing something here. It has to be the whole 'tom boyish girl next door' thing Joey has going for her. What else could it possibly be? Its an absolute mystery.
Smiling happily when Joey gives his hand a light squeeze, Pacey holds her close," I am the luckiest guy in Capeside."
Tilting her head up to look at Pacey, Joey raises an amused eyebrow at him," Why is that Pace?"
" Because I have you, Joe.", answers Pacey honestly before placing a kiss on Joey's cheek. Ugh, gag me please. I can not believe that Pacey actually just said that. I think that I might have to throw up now. We get it, the two of you are an item now. Spare us the lovey dovey crap though for the love of god. I'm going to be sick!
" No offense but you two make me nauseous I liked it better when you were at one anothers throats.", comments Jack with a sickened frown. Yes! Exactly, why couldn't the two of them go back to their constant bickering and hate filled insults? Those were the good old days. I could watch those two trade witty retorts for hours and never feel the need to cause myself or other physical harm or vomit. Who would have thought I would miss Joey and Pacey's constant banter? Guess you don't know what you have until its gone.
" Oh, I was at Joey's throat last night Jack trust me.", jokes Pacey with a suggestive smirk as Joey rolls her eyes. Oh, eww! Gross, come on. So did not need to hear that Pacey. Way too much information for comfort. I seriously hate Pacey right now. If I weren't so damn happy for him, I would probably kick his ass right now for being so damn repulsive just now.
Wrinkling my nose in disgust, I shudder at the thought," Not after I just ate Pace, please. Though, that does explain the hickey on your neck Joe."
Elbowing Pacey in the stomach playfully, Joey regards him with a scowl," I thought we agree no marks Pacey?"
" Sorry, Potter. I got carried away.", teases Pacey in a gruff manner before shielding himself from Joey's light slaps. Ah, there is the Potter/Witter banter that I know and love. I knew that they still had it in them somewhere. I'm glad those two were able to sort out their feelings once and for all. They look happy together. After what those two have been through, they need a little happiness in their lives. They really make a nauseatingly cute couple. ….(End Jen's pov)
