Chapter #23
(Pacey's pov)
" How did Dawson take the news when you told him, Joe?", I ask when she climbs onto the deck of True Love. Thank god she is finally back, joey left a little over an hour ago. She went to go see Dawson. Joey wanted to be the one to tell him about the two of us. I was against it at first, but Joey was persistent. Guess it was something that she really needed to do. Now she's back and I'm concerned. I'm concerned because Joey looks distraught and red eyed, almost like she had been crying recently.
" Not too good, Pace.", confides Joey in a sad tone before walking into my arms. Holding Joey close, I kiss away the remainder of her tears. Wow, she is really upset right now. Something must have happened. The question is what though? I should probably let Joey calm down a little bit before I start asking her questions. I don't want to upset her even more.
" I knew it, he hates me right? I should have told him, Joe.", I acknowledge with a groan. Dawson will never speak to me again. I betrayed him. I went after Joey behind his back. I kissed her. How could I do that to Dawson? He is supposed to be my oldest and best friend. What was I thinking going behind his back the way that I did. He probably hates me.
" He doesn't hate you, Pace. You were upfront with him from the start. It was me he couldn't stand the sight of.", admits Joey in a choked up tone as fresh tears flash in her eyes. Touching my thump to Joey's cheek, I swipe her tears away as more fall. I don't get it. Why would Joey say that Dawson hates her? Dawson wouldn't hate Joey. Its impossible. Something happened that she's not talking about. I need to know what.
Unsure how to react, I hug Joey closer to me," I don't understand, what happened Joe?"
Burying her face in my shoulder, Joey shakes with silently sobs," I told Dawson the real reason I was mad at you the other day and now he won't even speak to me, Pacey."
" He's probably just upset Joe, He'll come around. It will be alright, I'll talk to him.", I reassure her with a smile and a kiss on her cheek. I'm not exactly sure what Dawson said to Joey that has her so upset. But I'm going to find out as soon as I get the chance. Right now all that matters is holding Joey in my arms until she stops crying. I hate seeing Joey like this, its killing me. I should have at least gone with her, you know for support. We could have told Dawson together. We should have.
" I don't know, Pace. He was really upset. When I told him, he asked me to leave. ….Thanks, Pacey. It would really mean a lot to me.", remarks Joey with a grateful look in her eyes. I would do anything for Joey. If she needs me to talk things out with Dawson, I'm alright with that. I just wish Joey weren't crying right now. I can't stand seeing her like this. Joey didn't do anything wrong. She didn't deserve whatever it was that Dawson said to make her cry. If Dawson wants someone to hate, it should be me, not Joey. ….(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #24
(Joey's pov)
" Hey Dawson, I was hoping we could talk.", I greet with a cautious smile as I climb through his bedroom window. This is it. I'm about to tell Dawson that I like Pacey. Is this a good idea? I don't think that it is. It has to be done though. Dawson needs to know that I like Pacey. It has to come from me too. I'm so nervous, I don't know how he is going to react and it scares me.
" Sure, what about Joey?", asks Dawson before glancing in my direction briefly. Maybe this is a bad idea. I shouldn't tell Dawson, what if he take things the wrong way. What if he hates me for what I am about to tell him. I should have thought things through before I came over here. Its too late to back out now. I already told Dawson that I needed to talk to him.
" Actually, it is about Pacey and the other day.", I acknowledge with a long sigh. This is it. I'm about to admit to Dawson that I like Pacey. Once I do this, there is no turning back. I won't be able to slap Dawson on the shoulder and say 'I'm just kidding'. I should have just brought Pacey with me. Why did I insist on coming here and doing this alone? I'm such an idiot. It would have been so much easier with Pacey here.
" Don't you think that you were a little hard on him, Joe?", inquires Dawson before looking through his stack of movies. Whoa, did I hear him right? Is Dawson seriously defending Pacey? I thought for sure that he would be angry with Pacey for kissing me to begin with. Guess that I was wrong. Maybe Dawson didn't care. Maybe Dawson will be happy when I tell him that I like Pacey. It isn't entirely impossible is it? Here is hoping at least.
Looking around Dawson's room quietly, I hesitantly sit on the window sill," Well, yeah. But I had a perfectly good reason for being upset with Pacey."
Pausing briefly from his movie search, Dawson turns his attention to me," What reason could you have possibly had Joey?"
" I was mad at Pacey for telling you, but only because he had beaten me to the punch Dawson.", I confess without hesitation before quickly lowering my eyes from Dawson's. I'm afraid to see his reaction. I don't want to see the look in his eyes. I can already tell that he is angry by his now stance. Maybe I should have braced him for what I just said. I kind of just blurted out that I liked his best friend. Obvious this was going to upset Dawson. I should have prepared him for it.
" What are you talking about Joey? Are you trying to tell me that you like Pacey now? Since when?", asks Dawson with a frown as he folds his arms across his chest. Yeah, I was right. This was a bad idea. What the hell was I thinking? I shouldn't have told Dawson. Pacey suggested that he talked to Dawson but I refused to let him. Why didn't I just let him? Things would have been so much easier if I had.
" Well, yeah kind of. I started to see him differently ever since he picked a fight with Matt Caulfield for ruining my painting. I couldn't figure out why until he kissed me.", I admit quietly with my eyes lowered to the ground. I want to meet Dawson's eyes, but I can't. I betrayed him. I fell for his best friend. Was it my fault? No. but I somehow feel as though it is. I wouldn't blame Dawson if he never spoke to me again.
" Joey, I think that you should leave.", declares Dawson in a bitter tone before resuming his search. He wants me to leave? That's it? No yelling, no screaming, no telling me that Pacey is wrong for me? Dawson really just wants me to go? He has nothing else to say to me? I was prepared for a fight. I was ready to argue my defense to Dawson and he is kicking me out of his room?
Not sure if I heard Dawson right, with a raised eyebrow I ask," Did you just ask me to leave Dawson? Aren't you being a little unreasonable."
Standing from his bed, Dawson opens his bedroom window," Yeah, I did. You lied to me when you said that you didn't feel the same about Pacey. At least he was honest with me Joe. Maybe I'm being unreasonable and maybe I'm not. I don't know. What I do know is that I need you to leave Joey, please. Just go. Now." ….(End Joey's pov)

Chapter #25
(Pacey's pov)
" Dawson, could I talk to you for a second?", I call as I climb my way up the ladder to his bedroom window. Getting to the top, I climb through the open window. Joey came back pretty upset last night after coming to talk with Dawson. She told him how she felt about me and he told her to leave. I promised Joe I would come talk with him, hence why I'm here now.
" Can it wait until later? I am editing a short film, Pacey.", replies Dawson in a distracted manner, not bothering to even spare me a glance in the process. Actually, no it can not. I told Potter I was coming to talk with you this morning and that is exactly what I am going to do. Dawson has no reason to be angry with Joey, she didn't do anything wrong. All she did was try to be honest with him about how she felt.
" Actually, it is important. Its pertaining to Joey.", I explain in a gruff tone. This seems to catch Dawson's attention apparently as he turns his head in my direction at mention of Joey's name. Guess its not hard for him to guess at what it is that I'm here about. The sudden tenseness in Dawson's shoulders tells me that he knows what I want to talk about already.
" I already know what its about Pacey. She was here last night. Joey likes you, Pace. Congratulations.", acknowledges Dawson in as calm a voice as he can manage. Something tells me that that must have been really hard for him to say. At least he is being civil so far. I have to admit I was expecting some kind of an argument after what Joey told me last night.
Sighing to myself, I step in Dawson's path when he goes to turn away once again," Joey said you won't even speak to her, its not her you should be angry with though Its me, Dawson. I'm the one who started this all, I kissed Joey."
Stopping what he is doing finally, Dawson closes his laptop," You don't think that I know this Pacey? I was mad at you, you betrayed me. At the same time, its not your fault that you fell for Joey. I'm the one who asked you to look after her. I know how easy it is to fall for Joey. She lied to me though. Joey said that she didn't feel the same about you when she does.
" So, what you are never going to talk to her again? That seems a little harsh, don't you think? I don't get what Joey ever saw in you. She spent nearly two years pining over you, only for you to ignore her. Then when the two of you finally do get together, you eventually reject Joey and leave her to, as you put it, find yourself. Joey deserves better than that. She deserves better than you, Dawson.", I remark with a bitter tone before regarding Dawson with a look of agitation. Dawson knows that he is wrong, he just won't admit it. He's hurt, I can understand that, but to say that your never going to talk to Joey again because you think she lied and betrayed you? That is just all kinds of ridiculous.
" Oh, what. You think you can make Joey happy? Please. I think its time that you leave Pacey.", mutters Dawson with a frown before stepping out of my way and pointing towards the window. He wants me to leave? That's fine. I was going to anyway. I have no reason to say. I don't have anything else to say to Dawson. If he wants to hate Joey and I? That's fine. I don't have a problem with that anymore. As long as I have Joey, I don't have a care in the world.
Climbing out of Dawson's bedroom window, I turn around briefly," I don't know if I can make Joey happy, but you can be damn sure that I'll try." ….(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #26
(Joey's pov)
" Hey Pace, how did things go with Dawson?", I question when he walks into my living room I wasn't expecting to see him for a while. I'm glad he's here though. I have missed him. Alexander is slowly driving me insane. I don't know how Pacey gets him to smile and laugh, but he is my savior when it comes to watching this little bundle of terror.
" Lets just say your not the only one he's not talking to anymore Joe.", confides Pacey with a frown before heading into the kitchen. I guess that means things didn't go too well for Pacey either. I don't know what Dawson's problem is, but he is really starting to tick me off. We didn't have to tell him about the two of us. Its honestly none of his damn business. But Pacey and I thought we should be upfront and honest with Dawson. What has that gotten us though? Nothing good that is for sure. You know what? I don't care anymore. If Dawson doesn't ever speak to me again, that his problem not mine.
" Yeah, I kind of just told Dawson off.", admits Pacey before grabbing the container of orange juice out of the fridge. Watching as he takes the top off and drinks straight from the carton, I hold my hand out so he'll pass it to me when he is done. Taking the carton from Pacey, I place it to my lips and take a few gulps before placing it back in the fridge. Dawson is just being stubborn, he's mad because things didn't go his way. He never expected I would fall for Pacey. He probably figured that I would stand idly by and wait for him to decide whether or not he wanted to be with me. Well I'm sorry but I got tired of waiting. I fell for Pacey. Its not as though I meant to, its just something that happened. Dawson can either deal with things or never talk to me again, its his choice.
Walking into Pacey's arms, I rest my arms around his waist," You know what Pacey? I don't care what Dawson thinks anymore."
Sneaking a kiss from me, Pacey smirks down at me," You really mean that Joe?"
" Yeah, I'm not going to let Dawson give me the guilt trip for liking you Pacey.", I point out before taking his hand in mine. I shouldn't feel guilty about liking Pacey. I have no reason to. Standing on my tip toes, I place several kisses on Pacey's lips before his pulls me in for a long steamy lip lock Leaning into Pacey's embrace, I stumble a bit as my knees buckle underneath me. Oh yeah, I could get used to this. ….(End Joey's pov)

Chapter #27
(Pacey's pov)
" Good for you, Potter.", I smile with relief before giving her a kiss. Joey sure shocked me there. I have to admit, that is the last thing I expected to hear coming from Joey's mouth. Its nice to know that she's not worried about what Dawson thinks. Then I won't have to wonder if she's going to leave me for him. If that ever happened, I would die. I love Joey. I haven't told her yet and I'll probably wait a little before I do, but I love Joey. I'm pretty sure that I always have in one way or another.
" This being said, do you want to stay over and have a movie night Pacey?", asks Joey with a hopefully gleam in her eyes. Oh, well now how could I say no to that? Look at Joey, the girl is positively stunning. I would have to be an idiot to leave Joey alone for even one second. Why? So another guy can come along and snatch her from me? Not happening. Does she even need to ask me if I'll stay? Joey already knows that I want to.
" Sounds like a plan to me, Joe.", I mumble before hugging her close to me. If I had the choice, I would never let her go either. Having Joey in my arms, is liking having the perfect high. Joey is my own person drug. A dose of her kisses and I'm flying high. What did I do to get this lucky? I don't deserve a girl like Joey. She is way out of my league. My only hope is that she never figures this out.
Leading me inside her house, Joey heads toward the kitchen," Good, I was hoping you would say that and stay over again Pacey."
Picking up Alexander from his high chair, I spin him around," Are you on baby sitting duties again, Joe?"
" How did you guess?", asks Joey with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. How did I guess? Well, it was kind of hard not to. Bessie nor Bodie are no where in sight. Thus leading me to the conclusion that you are once again playing baby sitter to sweet, angelic Alexander here. I love this little guy, he is the cutest kid ever. He has a knack for driving Joey crazy too, I love that most about the little squirt. Its something him and I both have in common aside from being undoubtedly ruggedly handsome.
" That's the only time you seem to ask me to stay over.", I remind with a laugh as I rock Alexander in my arms. Sadly its the truth. Joey never asks me to stay over unless she's watching Alexander. I don't mind, but it would be nice to she didn't just need my assistance once in a while. That isn't exactly asking too much from Potter now is it?
" I'm sorry Pace, Alexander seems to really enjoy spending time with you is all. As do I.", adds Joey with a shy smile as she walks into my arms. Huh, a year or two ago I never would have dreamed that I would hear Joey Potter admitting to enjoying my company. Guess a lot has changed since then. Joey and I went from being sparring partners to dating. Its amazing how things work themselves out sometimes.
Holding Alexander in my arms, I play airplane with him," Relax, Joe. I love spending time with the little guy, you never have to ask me to help watching him. Of course I'll stay, why wouldn't I?"
Pouring milk into a bottle, Joey places it in the microwave," You'll stay then? Thanks Pacey, you're the best. I mean it, I'm lucky to have you around. I need you more than ever." …..(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #28
(Joey's pov)
" He isn't going to stop crying, is he Pace? Alexander is supposed to go to sleep, Pacey.", I complain with a tired sigh when I hear Alexander in his crib crying. He was supposed to be asleep nearly an hour ago. I have tried everything. Eventually I figured if I left him be he would cry himself to sleep. No such luck though. What am I supposed to do?
" No, would you? The poor guy is scared of the storm. Bring him out here Joe. He will go to sleep once you do, trust me. Alexander just wants to sleep by his aunt Jojo.", points out Pacey with a reassuring kiss. Bring him out here? Is Pacey crazy? What am I supposed to let Alexander sleep with me tonight?...Ugh, fine. The little rug rat wins. If it will get him to quiet down and sleep Alexander can sleep with Pace and I tonight in my room. Pacey had better be right though.
Standing from my seat in bed next to Pacey, I go to get Alexander from his crib," Come here Alexander, it is ok. You had better be right about this, Witter."
Making room for me to lay in his arms, Pacey turns the television down," If I'm not you could always put me over your knee and spank me, Potter. You know teach me a real lesson."
" You are such a freak Pace.", I tease with a light nudge and kiss to Pacey's cheek. Leave it to Pacey to make me laugh at a time like this. Its one of the things that I love about him. I could be dead tired, and angry and somehow Pacey will find a way to make me chuckle or smile. Its a hidden talent of his that I'm grateful he has at times like this.
" Shhh, look Joe. He stopped crying.", points out Pacey in amazement. Oh my god, he is right. Alexander is no longer whining and throwing a fit. Pacey is a genius! I love him so much right now. He is my savior. I thought for sure that neither of us were going to get any sleep tonight. Who could have guessed Pacey actually knows what he is talking about? I sure didn't.
" Wow, what do you know? You were right Pacey.", I reply in an astonished tone. Alexander is falling asleep in my arms as we speak. This is great! Why didn't I think of this? Of course Alexander would want to be held during a loud and scary thunder storm, I always did. When I was younger, I was just like Alexander. Could never stand storms like this one, still can't sometimes. Lucky for me, I have Pacey now when I'm scared. (End Joey's pov)
(Pacey's pov)
" Don't sound too shocked Joey. Watch it or I'll have to no choice but to kiss you senseless Potter.", I warn with an evil smirk on my face. Hugging Joey closer to my, I bury my face in her neck. Mmm, I am one fortunate fellow to have gotten a girl like Joey. With luck she won't ever realize that she could do way better than me. I could get used to having her this close.
Pulling a blanket over the three of us, Joey rubs Alexander's back gently," Why? Its only once in a blue moon that your right Pacey. Mmm, is that a promise Witter?"
Placing my lips to Joey's I nip at her bottom lip playfully," Always Joey, always." ….(End Pacey's pov)
