Chapter #24
(Jen's pov)
" Hey Dawson, how are you holding up?", I ask as I climb through his bedroom window. I haven't seen Dawson since the camping trip. He has been avoiding everyone mostly Joey and Pacey. He was real upset when he found out about the two of them. To be honest I don't know how he didn't figure things out sooner. Those two have been on a crash course toward one another for a while.
" Pacey stabbed me in the back, how do you think I'm holding up Jen?", inquires Dawson in a bitter voice. Trying my best not to roll my eyes, I sigh to myself. Dawson's upset, that's understandable But Pacey did not stab him in the back. Its not as though Dawson and Joey were going out when Pacey kissed her. They had been broken up for nearly six months. Dawson had made it more than clear that he had moved on and was fine with Joey doing the same. I really don't know what his problem is.
" That's not what happened and you know it Dawson. Pacey has liked Joey for a while now.", I acknowledge truthfully. This seems to get Dawson's attention as he rolls his eyes at my comment. Does he honestly find it that unbelievable that Pacey could actually like Joey? Come on. It's like Pacey said a few days ago. Dawson of all people should know how easy it is to fall for Joey Potter. There is just something about that girl that drives guys crazy."
" He might as well have, he kissed Joey. ...How do you know Jen?", ponders Dawson after a moments pause? How do I know? Well for one, I'm not blind like you are. I saw the way Pacey looked at Joey and how he had found excuses to hang around her. Pacey would do just about anything for Joey. The poor boy is crazy about her. The only one that had no clue about how Pacey felt for Joey aside from Joey herself and maybe Andie, was Dawson. Jack and I both knew it was only a matter of time before the two of them got together.
Sighing to myself, I sit beside Dawson on his bed," Aside from him punching another guy in the face and buying her a wall? He told me, Dawson."
Glancing over at me, Dawson sits up beside me," You have known about the two of them?"
" Only that Pacey kissed Joey and she kissed him back. It wasn't my place to say anything, Dawson.", I confide with a sigh when I see the look of anger and betrayal on his face. Great, now Dawson is mad at me. What does he expect though? It wasn't my place to go up to him and say 'hey did you know Pacey kissed Joey and she kissed him back?' what happens between joey and Pacey is between the two of them not me.
" And you didn't think to tell me? You knew about them and said nothing? How could you Jen?", exclaims Dawson in frustration as he now paces his room. Wow he is blowing things way out of proportion. Yes I knew about them. But who am I to say anything to anyone about what goes on between Joey and Pacey? Its not my place to say anything. Dawson is seriously overreacting right now.
" I figured it would be better if you heard it from Pacey and Joey. Dawson, don't you think you're overreacting?", I explain in a calm tone. Its all that I can do not to yell right back at Dawson. Who does he think that he is anyway? He could have asked Pacey if something was going on between him and Joey but he didn't. He was too concerned with himself to care. He had to have been blind not to see the way Pacey looks at Joey these days.
Stopping in his place, Dawson opens his bedroom window once more and steps aside," Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I don't know, what I do know is that I need you to go. Jen, please. Thanks for your consideration, but I think that you should leave. Just go, get out. Now." ….(End Jen's pov)

Chapter #25
(Jack's pov)
" Hey Joey, haven't seen you around lately.", I great with a smile before sitting beside her in lunch. Truth be told I haven't seen much of Pacey lately either. Guess maybe the two of them are keeping a low profile these days. Its probably for the best, Dawson can't stand the sight of either of them and Andie still can't believe that Pacey and Joey could betray her the way that they did. Its not their fault though, you can't help who you fall for.
" Here I thought I would be the last person you would want to see.", acknowledges Joey quietly before glancing over at me. Why would she think that? Does Joey think that I hate her now too? How could I? She didn't do anything wrong. So she fell for Pacey. It isn't as though she intentionally set out to hurt Dawson or Andie. Things happen, I knew that it was only a matter of time before those two got together.
" What because of the whole Pacey thing?", I question with a sigh before taking a bite from my sandwich Joey, I don't blame you. Sure Andie is hurt and upset, she will get over things eventually though. Joey and Pacey have been on a crash course for one another for a while. No one hates one another as much as those two did without being the least bit attracted to one another. Guess that old saying is true, you always tease the ones you love.
" Well, yeah. Andie is your sister.", points out Joey with a frown. Yeah, Andie is my sister. But that doesn't mean that I have to stop talking to you just because she's a little upset with Pacey and you right now. Andie is a big girl, she might be hurting now but she'll be alright. Joey is a good friend of mine, I could never hate her. Same with Pacey.
With a mere shrug of my shoulders, I pick at my lunch," I could never hate you, Joe. Andie doesn't hate you either, she is just really hurt Joe."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Joey takes a bite from her own sandwich," Thanks, Jack. I could use a friend right now. I know, and I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."
" Relax, I'm not taking sides Joey. You and Pacey were bound to get together sooner or later.", I confide with a smirk and a light nudge. This causes Joey to blush slightly and smile back in return. Look at her, she is completely smitten with Pacey. Huh, she truly does like him. At first I thought maybe that the two of them were just fooling around out of boredom to pass time. But now I know that's not the case. Its much more than that, if I didn't know any better I would say those two were slowly falling for one another.
" What makes you so sure?", inquires Joey out of curiosity. What makes me so sure? Come on, she has to be kidding right now. Pacey kicked the crap out of another guy and almost got suspended for her, not to mention that he bought the girl a wall. What else did he have to do, put up a billboard? I knew for a while that there was a chance that Pacey liked Joey. Unfortunately for him, Joey was completely blind when it came to him. It didn't seem to matter what Pacey did, Joey never saw him the way he had wanted her to. Guess now she finally does.
Raising an eyebrow at Joey's confusion, I try not to laugh," Joey, the guy nearly got suspended for you. Not to mention he bought you a wall."
Pushing her empty tray away, Joey takes a drink from her milk," so I was the only one without a clue? Don't I feel like an idiot now."
" Afraid so Joe. But you're not an idiot, you're just a little dense that's all.", I joke with another playful nudge. Sharing a laugh with me, I watch as Joey rolls her eyes. This poor girl had absolutely no clue how bad Pacey had it for her. I don't know how she couldn't have noticed. I suspect it might have had something to do with that guy AJ she was briefly seeing. Then again Joey has never really been that perceptive I love her to death, but sometimes Joey is as clueless as can be. ….(End Jack's pov)
