Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my first Dawson's Creek story so take it easy on me, I'm rusty on my characters.

Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story is original and from my imagination.

Author's note: this is my first try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together. Enjoy and review thanks :)

Chapter #2

(Pacey's pov)

" Hey little brother, why so glum?", questions Doug as he walks into the kitchen. Oh great, now I get to rehash this mornings events to Dougie. Joey hates me thats what is wrong. How could I have been so stupid as to kiss her? Joey doesn't want a guy like me. That much is clear. She'll probably never talk to me again.

" I kissed Joey.", I mutter in reply before fixing myself a plate of breakfast. I kissed Joey and ruined everything. I'm not even sure why I did it. Its just...I thought maybe she wanted me to. I'm not even sure what I was thinking. Joey made it clear she wants nothing to do with me. I would have to be an idiot not to see that, she only hit me repeatedly.

" Shouldn't that be a good thing?", inquires Doug with a look of confusion. Yeah, normally. It would have been great if Joey hadn't reacted the way that she did. Guess I was only kidding myself when I thought maybe she felt the same way about me as I do for her. I knew I never stood a chance with Joey and like an idiot I let myself fall for her anyway.

" Not when she flips out and starts hitting me.", I remark in a bitter tone. I'd knew there was a chance Joey would react the way she did and I kissed her anyway. Guess I just really wanted her to like me. Now she can't even stand the sight of me. What am I supposed to say to Dawson when he finds out? I already know how he's going to react. Should I even bother telling him? With my luck Joey already has.

Pouring himself a glass of orange juice, Doug hands me a plate of bacon," Sounds like she's into you."

Regarding Doug with a look of confusion, I pick at my breakfast," Doug, did you here anything I just said? Joey hates me."

" Pacey, you are so niave.", remarks Doug, with a knowing smirk. Frowning to myself, I watch as Doug shakes his head. What is he talking about? How does Joey hitting me and yelling mean she's into me? Doug makes absolutely not sense right now. Why would Joey hit me if she liked me back? Its too early to be this confused.

" What are you talking about?", I ask in confusion before raising my eye brows. Doug is making absolutely no sense right now. He seems to think Joey likes me too. Where he came to that conclusion I have no idea. Could he be onto something though? Could there be a chance that Joey likes me? Maybe I should hear him out.

" Its not obvious? Joey's into you, Pace. You don't get that worked up over a kiss, especially if it meant nothing.", explains doug before taking a drink of his orange juice. As crazy as it sounds, Doug might actually be on to something. Why would Joey get so worked up over a harmless kiss that meant nothing? If he's right, Joey might have feelings for me too but is just too afraid to admit it. Damn, Dougie's a genius!

" You really think so?", I question after taking a few minutes to think things over. If Doug's right, I might just stand a chance with Joey after all If he's wrong? There's a chance she might never want to speak to me again. Should I go try and talk to Joey? Or should I wait until she comes to me? Damn, I wish that I knew what I was supposed to do.

Placing his plate in the sink, Doug pats me on the shoulder," Trust me, she's into you Pacey." ….(End Pacey's pov)
