Chapter #28
(Pacey's pov)
" Pacey? What are you doing here?", questions Dawson when I walk up beside him. What am I doing here? Honestly, I have no idea. Its no secret that I'm probably the last person you want to see right now Dawson. But we need to talk. Its time we hash things out once and for all. Was I wrong for making a move on Joey behind your back the way that I did? Yes. Does that's give you the right to end our friendship though? I don't really think that it does.
" I came to see you Dawson, I want to talk to you.", I confide with a hesitant sigh. By his attitude, I can already tell that he is not going to make things easy for me. Dawson hates me right now. For all that I know, he has every right to. I went behind Dawson's back. I broke the unspoken code between friends. I kissed Joey. Do I regret what I did? Not even for a second. I like Joey, I can't help this fact.
" Well then your wasting your time Pacey, I don't want to talk with you.", dead pans Dawson before sending a jealous scowl in my direction. Somehow I knew that was coming. Can't really say that I blame him. Guess I would probably react in the same manner if things were reversed. How long can Dawson honestly stay mad though? It has been nearly a week and a half since I outted myself and Joey to him. You would think he would have at least cooled down a little bit since then. Guess I must have really crossed the line this time.
" Fair enough, can't really say that I blame you. I'll see you around Dawson.", I mutter over my shoulder before turning around and walking away in the opposite direction. If Dawson doesn't want to speak to me, I can't exactly make him. With hopes, he'll come to me when things blow over. Hopefully things with blow over eventually. I would hate to think that Dawson would let a minor misjudgment on my part ruin our life long friendship.
Watching as I walk off, after a few seconds Dawson calls out," Why her Pacey? Why Joey? Why did you have to fall for her? Why not Jen?"
Stopping in my tracks, I turn around to face Dawson," What do you mean Dawson? It just happened, I couldn't help it. Of all people you should know how easy it is to fall for Joey."
" How long have you liked her Pace? Why didn't you tell me?", asks Dawson after a minute or so of silence. How long have I liked Joey? Huh, I'm not completely sure if I should answer that question honestly. I'm pretty sure that I have liked Joey since middle school. I never told her or anyone else though. Joey and I were supposed to hate each other back then. How exactly was I supposed to tell you that I liked Joey? You probably wouldn't have believed me Dawson. I wanted to tell you. I just really wasn't sure how. To go about it.
" I've liked Joey for a while Dawson. I wanted to tell you, I just didn't know how to. It wasn't until Joey kissed me back that I thought I even stood a chance with her.", I admit with a reluctant sigh. Truth is, until Joey kissed me back, I was all but convinced that she hated me. I can't even begin to explain how relieved I was when Joey kissed me that day. I remember how happy I was though, I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night. Even after Joey left, I still had a smirk plastered on my face.
Frowning to himself, Dawson shakes his head bitterly," You know our friendship is never going to be the same again Pacey."
With a shrug of my shoulders, I turn my gaze toward the ground," But, we are still friends...right Dawson?"
" I don't know, you went behind my back and stole the girl I love.", mutters Dawson with a bitter tone. Can't say that I didn't see that one coming from a mile away. He's right though, I did go behind his back. Dawson has every right to be angry with me. But if he were to end our friendship over this? Then what would I tell myself? Dawson hates me but at least I have Joey? I can't let our friendship dissolve into nothing. What am I supposed to do though? All I know to do is apologize and hope Dawson believes me.
" Fair enough...for what its worth, I'm sorry about how things turned out Dawson.", I apologize sincerely as I glance over at Dawson. I don't expect him to believe me or even accept my apology. But its the truth. I never wanted to hurt Dawson or Andie the way that I did. Things just happen though. I have no control over who I do or don't fall for. I like Joey, if that means that Dawson hates me? Well then I don't know what to say or do to make him think otherwise. Hopefully things will work themselves out between the two of us over time. …..(End Pacey's pov)

Chapter #29
(Joey's pov)
" Pacey, there you are. I have been looking all over for...Dawson. Whats going on?", I inquire with a worried look on my face. Since when are those two talking? I had it on fairly good authority that Dawson wanted nothing to do with Pacey and I. What if they weren't talking? What if they were having an argument and I just interrupted them. Great, how is it that I always seem to show up at the worst possible time? I know that I should have just waited for Pacey on his boat like I had originally planned.
" Relax, Joe. We were just talking.", assures Pacey with a smile. Unsure what to think or say, I glance down at my feet. How did I manage to wedge myself between two best friends? I'm the harlot that breaks up once life long friends, just like in those films and books. There is nothing that I can say or do to make Dawson understand. As far as he is concerned, Pacey and I betrayed him in the worst way possible.
" Oh, well...Hey.", I mutter in an awkward tone as I look between the two. Wow, I have never felt this much tension in my life. Is this how it is going to be for now on? What if things never go back to normal between the three of us? What if Dawson never forgives either of us? I don't know what I would do without Dawson as a friend. I have known both him and Pacey since I was two. That's a long time for a friendship to just be tossed away.
" I'll see you around.", remarks Dawson in a cold manner before turning to walk off in the opposite direction. Not wanting Dawson to leave right away, I begin to silently panic. What am I supposed to do? I can't exactly just take off after him. What if Pacey took it the wrong way and thought that I was choosing Dawson over him? How would I even explain myself? I need to talk with Dawson. I have to tell him how sorry I am for the way things turned out.
Stepping in front of Dawson, I stop him from leaving," Dawson, wait. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for how things turned out."
Staring down at me, Dawson arches an eye brow in my direction," Yeah, Joe? Well, unfortunately whats done is done. No apology is going to change that."
" Yeah, I know. Its just...well, I miss hanging out with you Dawson.", I confide in a sad voice as I glance up at him. The cold and distant look in his eyes tells that he doesn't exactly feel the same way. What do I have to do to get him to forgive me? I know that kissing Pacey back was a horrible thing to do without at least fronting Dawson and telling him that there was a chance I liked Pacey. But its not as though I can go back in time and change what I did. To be completely honest, even if I could I'm not sure that I would. I like Pacey, Dawson just has to learn to deal with that.
" Yeah, well...I should probably go.", mutters Dawson before making his way past me and taking off once more. He really hates me doesn't he? There is absolutely nothing that I can say to take back what Pacey and I did. All that I can do is hope that in time Dawson will get over the hurt enough to talk to Pacey and I again. Will things ever go back to normal between the three of us? But with hopes we will at least be able to move forward and put whatever bad blood there is between us in the past. ….(End Joey's pov)
