Love Doesn't Ask Why
Part 26
baby (love doesn’t ask why) love doesn’t as you why Scene: - Sarah’s apartment. A few nights later.
do you still remember, how we used to be
NICOLA: "Why don’t you tell us a little more about your relationship with Dawson."
JOEY: "Well people where constantly telling me that I was nothing and that I would never really do anything with my life, well I started to believe it. But he was always there at every turn telling me that I was better than everyone else. He was constantly there telling me I could do anything that I set my mind to. And I did, I had to. I couldn’t let him down, he had so much faith in me."
SARAH: "What else did you love about him?"
JOEY: "He was always so optimistic about everything." She smiles. "And when I say everything I’m not kidding. Like when his parents where going through a rough patch, he believed they’d work it out. He still believed that after they got a divorce. He had a habit for being right about these things. They remarried each other."
Scene: - James’ apartment. James and Dawson are having a guy’s night.
hasta manana, always be mine
DAWSON: "One of the things that I always loved about her was the way that she wouldn’t let anything faze her. For years she would constantly be told by people that she wouldn’t make anything of herself. She just pushed all the little comments aside and got on with it. Just told herself that she had to prove it to them, but most of all she had to prove it to herself. I would always be trying to script out my life and she’d constantly be telling me that I just had to let things happen. That I couldn’t plan everything."
JAMES: "Is that why you spend so much time on your script?"
DAWSON: "I think it is. I don’t know it’s like a sort of control thing. I might not be able to make my life perfect but my scripts . . . they’re mine. I can have things happen in them that I want to happen in real life."
Cut back to Sarah’s apartment.
for the one
yes I still remember, every whispered word
hasta manana, always be mine
JOEY: "I always loved the way that he saw everything. He always tried to script out his life. What would happen and when it would happen. I still remember the first time that he told me he loved me. Sometimes feels as though it was just yesterday."
NICOLA: "Was it romantic?"
JOEY: "No. I had just broken up with him because I had to go ‘find myself’. Instead of just telling him that I had kissed another guy. We had this huge argument and before you know it I’m laying on the poor Joey routine. I more or less blamed him. Later on that night I had to see him and I was in his room for him coming home. He said that we could find me together and I said no. I was about to crawl out his window when he said it. ‘But I love you’."
SARAH: "Then what happened?"
JOEY: "I told him that I loved him too and we almost kissed. But didn’t, I was still finishing with him and about to leave. Then he turned to me and said ‘we can’t say we love each other for the first time and have it be over’. All I said was that we had to end it and I left. A while after that had happened I hated myself for how I had acted. I’d just broken his heart and wanted him to understand me."
Cut to James’s apartment.
live forever, for the moment
DAWSON: "It’s funny how you don’t really think of these things at the time but you just know that’s part of why you love them and that these reasons aren’t the whole picture."
JAMES: "Do you ever wonder what it would have been like if you had let her go through your window?"
DAWSON: "Sometimes, mostly just after we’d broke up or if she was with someone new. I’d have probably walked around in this cosy little denial cocoon. Trying to deny that I ever felt that way about Joey. And she’d have gone to Paris."
Cut to Sarah’s apartment.
back where I belong now
hasta manana, always be mine
viva forever, I’ll be waiting (I’ll be waiting.....)
JOEY: "I often think that it was really strange how I felt when I found out I was pregnant. I had always thought that if I ever found myself pregnant and about to go to college that I’d freak, I’d probably get rid of it. I don’t know a baby was just never in the picture. But then my thoughts about the whole thing changed as soon as the doctor told me I was pregnant."
NICOLA: "Believe me Joey I know exactly how you feel, when I first found out I was pregnant with Darren. We where in first year at college, it just seemed like the wrong time to be pregnant. But then I was able to take time off and if I hadn’t then I wouldn’t have met you and Sarah.
JOEY: "I just couldn’t get over this feeling that a part of him was growing inside me. You have no idea how it feels to know that the guy you love, more than life itself got you pregnant. And that this baby...it’s part of you, it’s part of him. That’s something that he never got to experience, something he’ll never get to experience. Neither will I."
NICOLA: "I think that you should talk to Bessie. Tell her how you feel and see what she thinks you should do."
SARAH: "If you really want to do what’s best for you, then you have to follow your heart. Stop protecting other people. Stop using the safety net."
JOEY: "I’m going to Capeside on Friday, I’ll talk to her then. I feel so much better talking about this, finally telling someone. Maybe I should have seen a therapist when I lost the baby."
Cut to James’s apartment.
everlasting, like the sun
DAWSON: "I never really understood why I was in so much denial when it was blatantly obvious how she felt. But now I think that fear played a big part. It was like suddenly there were all of these feelings there and they were for Joey. She just seemed so untouchable. But I guess now it’s time to just let go. I don’t really know if I can but I have to try."

feeling together, believing whatever
my lover said to me
both of us where dreamers, young love in the sun
felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave you
we’d only just begun
viva forever, I’ll be waiting
everlasting, like the sun
live forever, for the moment
ever searching
the touch of your skin, givin’ life from within
like a love song never heard
slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time
promises made, every memory saved
as reflections in my mind
viva forever, I’ll be waiting
everlasting, like the sun
ever searching, for the one
was it just a dream
feelings unfold, they will never be sold
and the secrets safe with me
viva forever (viva forever)
I’ll be waiting (I’ll be waiting)
everlasting (everlasting)
like the sun (like the sun)
live forever (live forever)
for the moment (for the moment)
ever searching (ever searching)
for the one (for the one)
live forever, (live forever .......) for the moment
ever searching, for the one
*viva forever - spice girls*
