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 #20

(Andie's pov)

" I can't believe you Pacey.", I declare with irritation as I glare up at him. How could he do this to me? How could Pacey betray me the way that he has? Did he kiss Joey to hurt me? He can't honestly like her. Pacey and Joey are supposed to hate one another. Since when does he like Joey all of the sudden? Does Joey like him back as well? She must if she told Dawson that they didn't mean for him to find out this way. I can not believe the two of them. I could expect this from Pacey, but Joey? She is supposed to be my best friend. I can't believe her.

" I didn't intend for any of this to happen Andie.", explains Pacey before hanging his head in shame. You didn't intend for any of this to happen? What exactly did you intend to have happen Pace? You kissed Joey. You obviously knew that if Dawson or I were to find out about the two of you we would be hurt. Apparently neither of you seemed to care all that much though, otherwise we wouldn't be in the situation that we're in now.

" You really hurt Dawson...and me. What were you thinking Pacey?", I ask before swiping tears from my eyes once again. Sure I might have cheated on Pacey, but I regretted it. I ruined my chances with Pacey, I know this now. Everyday that I'm not with him is a constant reminder of what I did. But at least the guy I cheated on Pacey with wasn't his best friend. At least Pacey doesn't have to see and talk to the guy I slept with every single day. What him and Joey did is unforgivable. I can not believe the two of them.

" I'm sorry, I don't know what else you want me to say. I love her, Andie. I...I love her.", admits Pacey quietly as he turns his gaze away from mine. He loves her? He can not be serious. Pacey is in love with Joey? How can he be in love with her? It wasn't just a year ago that he couldn't stand Joey. What could have possibly happened to change that? I guess maybe the old saying is true, you always tease the ones you love. Joey and Pacey have been bickering with one another for years, how could no one else have seen the coming? Least of all me, I feel like such an idiot right now.

Hurt by Pacey's words, I stand from my seat," No you don't Pacey, and even if you do Joey doesn't love you. She's in love with Dawson, your only going to wind up hurt."

Every muscle in Pacey's jaw tenses at mention of Dawson's name, calming his nerves as best he can he responds," you don't know what you're talking about Mcphee."

" I don't? Please, do you honestly think Joey is going to throw away what her and Dawson had for you?", I inquire bitterly with a laugh and roll of my eyes. Please. Pacey has got to be kidding me right now. Pacey can't compete with what Joey and Dawson once had. Those two have years of history together. Sure Joey may have kissed Pacey once of twice, but I seriously don't she would trow away what her and Dawson have for Pacey. Pacey is only going to wind up hurt in the end and I'm not about to be the one who says I told you so.

"...I'm going to bed.",mutters Pacey before taking off for his tent. What I said might have just hurt Pacey, but it needed to be said. Does he honestly think when push comes to shove that Joey is going to choose him over Dawson? Come on, he's being ridiculous if that's the case. I don't understand what he's thinking, why would he make a move on Joey of all people. Didn't he put into consideration that his actions would hurt Dawson and I? Did he even care? One thing is for sure, I don't think that I'm going to be able to forgive either one of them for a while, if ever. ….(End Andie's pov)
