Joey walks out of her hotel, she remembered Dawson saying something about staying at the Hilton. She walked slowly down the New York streets, keeping to herself, trying her best for no one to notice her. She had her sun glasses on hiding her red eyes from crying.She spend the whole morning crying, why she didn't know. Maybe was cause she would never of thought Dawson would do a thing like that. Yeah she knew that what they did that night ruined five years of friendship, but it would have been better if they could have talk things through.
Joey walks in the Hilton and slowly taking off her sun glasses as she walked to the hotels counter. Joey stood at the counter looking at the bell boy confused.
Bell boy:"Excuse me Miss, may I help you with something?"
Joey:"Um yeah."(putting her glasses on top of her head)"May you tell me which room Dawson Leery is staying?"
Bell boy:"Oh, umm he hasn't checked in."(half smile)"He most been out late last night, you know with a female."
Joey:(rolls her eyes)"When do you think he'll be back?
Bell boy two:"Actually he did come back, around 6:20 this morning, he just walked right in, didn't even bother to check in.
Joey:(under her breath)"I'm sure he did."
Bell boy:"Excuse me mama?"
Joey:(annoyed)"So are you going to tell me what room he staying in?"
Bell boy:" Sure, does he know your here."
Joey:"No if he did you think I would be talking to you right now?"(pause) I really need to speak with him, it's important."
Bell boy two:"I'll ring him up."(picking up the phone)"Hello Mr.Leery, yes good morning to you too."
Joey rolls her eyes.
Bell boy two:"I'm sorry to wake you, but there a woman here who wants to speak with you."(pause)"She about 5'8, long brown hair...Yes she looks like she in a moody mood. "(pause)"So you want me to bring her up? Oh Okay."(hangs up the phone)
Dawson set the phone on the hook and just looks blankly at the door, Joey was going to be knocking at it any minute now. What was he going to say? How was he going to explain to her why he left?
A knocking at the door broke through Dawson's thoughts. Now Dawson felt like he was going to panic.
Slowly he walked towards the door, knowing who was going to be standing there. And not knowing how to handle it.Slowly Dawson flew open the door to be face to face with Joey Potter.
Dawson:(barely getting the words out) "Joey, hi."
Joey:(cold tone)"Came I come in?"
Dawson:(opening the door more wide)"Sure."
Joey steps through with out even blushing against him.
Joey:(crossing her arms)"I think we both know why I'm here."
Dawson:(closing the door)"Joey if it's about last night..."
Joey:(cutting him off)"That you can explain?"
Dawson:"Yeah."
Joey:"What you forgot that you left the shower running? You didn't feed the dog?
Dawson:"No."
Joey:"Had some bills to pay?"
Dawson:"No Joey it wasn't that."
Joey:(yelling)"Then what was it!"
Dawson:"I-I."
Joey:(about to cry)"Tell me."
Dawson:"I don't know."
Joey:"I've never felt so miss used."
Dawson:"Joey it wasn't like that."
Joey:"Out of all people Dawson, I would never imagine you."
Dawson:"Joey we were drunk, it meant anything."(kicking himself for blurting that out)
Joey just stared at him tears rolling down her cheek, with the most hurt look on her face. What has he done?
Joey:(hurt)"Yea."(nodding)"It didn't mean anything."(whipping the tears)"I was just a good lay."(walking to the door and opening it)"Have a great day!"(walking out and slamming the door)
Dawson stand there wanted to stop her, but couldn't manage to move.
Dawson:(putting his hands through his hair)"Shit!"
Dawson stand in front of Capeside airport as he waited for Pacey to drive up in his pick up truck.
Pacey:(rolling down the window)"Hey man."(opening the door)
Dawson:(throwing his bags in the back)"Hey."(jumping into the truck)"Thanks for picking me up."
Pacey:"No problem man."(pause)"Anyways, why are you here so soon? I mean we go back in the beginning of July and it's only May."
Dawson:"I was home sick."
Pacey knowing that something was fishie turns the car off.
Pacey:(laughs)"Of here,this small town?"
Dawson:"Yeah."
Pacey:"Are you sure of that, cause it seem like whenever we have time off you get as far as you can from this place.You and Joey are just the same, I mean when me and Joey were together that summer we didn't spend one day here, it was New York or L.A."
Dawson blanks out to the thought of her name.
Pacey:"You both are the same you hate this place with a passion."
Dawson:(playing it off)"Why are ragging on me."
Pacey:"Cause I just find it a little odd that your here, out of all the places to be your here."
Dawson:"And so are you."
Pacey:"Yeah, but I like it here."
Dawson:"And who said I didn't?"
Pacey:(knowing that something is up)"Whatever man, whatever."
Joey walks into her apartment in Capeside, she just got off a 5:00pm fight from New York.
Joey walks to the answer machine to hear her messages.
Answer machine:"No messages"
Joey:"Yeah, how can I forget. I'm not suppose to be here."
Joey walks into her bedroom and drops her bags on to the floor as she flops on to her bed with a big sigh. She felt depressed for the post 48 hours and being here wasn't going help and to top it off she had major pain between her legs.
Joey slowly moved her gaze around the room to each of her walls then to the ceiling. She only been in her place for about ten minutes and she was already bored. She kept moving her gaze till the phone was in view.
Joey picks up the phone and stared at it for a moment till she decide that the only person would be actually home would be Pacey. Pacey was her ex boyfriend and also co-star. Things didn't work out as they thought they would so they decide to break it off three year ago, but they were still close. Quickly dialing Pacey's number and waiting for him to pick up.
Pacey sit in his apartment with Dawson watching the football game.
Dawson:(sitting up)"Be right back, have to use the bathroom."
Pacey:"Don't fall in."
Dawson:(yelling from down the hall)"I won't"
The phone rings.
Pacey:(picking it up)"Hola."
Joey:"Pacey?"
Pacey:(surprised)"Hey Jo."
Joey:"Hey."
Pacey:"Now this is a surprise,Joey Potter actually calling me. Where are you? L.A., New York, Japan?"
Joey:"Capeside."
Pacey:(confused)"What are you doing here?"
Joey:"What I can't be here, why do you ask?"
Pacey:"You want me to start at the bottom or the top of the list?"
Joey:"Save it Pacey. I just called to see what your doing?"
Pacey:"Wow she calls and wants to hang out too? Okay what the name of the drags and can I have some?"(laughs)"So this could be a co-star grouping or something."
Joey:"What?"
Pacey:"You me and Dawson, a big happy family."
Joey:(shocked)"Dawson?"
The sound of Dawson, just made Joey heart feel like it was getting tour up right in her chest.
Pacey:"Yep, he got back this afternoon, he in the shiter right now. Funny that your both back in town."
Joey doesn't say anything.
Pacey:"Joey are you still there?"
Joey:"I have to go."
Before Pacey could say another word Joey already hang up.
Pacey:(confused)"What?"
Pacey hears Dawson closing the door from the bathroom as he walks down the hall toward the living room.
Dawson:(sitting back down on the sofa)"Were winning?"
Joey walks through the street of Capeside, walking to the nearest food market. To buy her dinner and some food for the week.
In the store.
Pacey:(holding two bags in his hands)"Okay you want the fat free chips or the lights?"
Dawson:"What the differences?"
Pacey:(holding up the fat free bag)"Well..."
Dawson:(cutting him off)"Forget I asked."(picks up a can of corn)
Pacey:"Come on, we are on half time here, we have...(looking at his watch)"We have five minutes to get what we mean and get back to the apartment.
Dawson:(annoyed)"I hate shopping for food.
Pacey:"Well you can alway pay someone, to do it for you."
Dawson:(throws a six pack of soda in the cart)"Okay what an I missing here..."(looking through the cart)
Pacey:(grabs the box of cookies)"Milk, how can you forget the milk dude?"
Dawson:"Oh yea."(pushes the cart to Pacey)"Go pay for that, I'll be back with the milk."
Joey walks into the store and looks around shyly. First thing that she spots is the milk ale.
Joey:(to herself)"That something I need for my coffee."
Dawson runs to the milk ale not looking where he going and runs into Joey, causing her to fall on the floor. But not realizing who he run into, cause Joey's hair covered her face as she fall to the ground.
Joey:"Walk much..."
Dawson:"Oh I'm sorry miss." (putting his hand out for her)
Joey stop her sentence when she realizes who voice that was.
Dawson:"I didn't see you coming."(helping her up)
Joey grabs Dawson's hand and stands up throw her hair off her face and pulling away from Dawson grasp as fast as she fell.
Dawson:(surprised)"Jo-ey."
Joey just looks at him coldly and turns around towards the exit.
Dawson: (grabbing her arm spinning her around)"Jo wait."
Joey: (pulling away)"What!"
Dawson:"We need to talk."
Joey:(shacking her head)"No we don't"(runs out of the store)
Dawson:"Joey!"
Pacey:(walking up to Dawson)"What just happened?"
Dawson looks at his friend with a confused expression.
