Love Doesn't Ask Why

Part 9

 

now I can feel what your afraid to say
it will give you so much pain
** love doesn’t ask why - celine dion **

--------------------

Over the next few weeks.

you said that love was just a state of mind
a puzzle made of pieces you can’t find
but for me, you never really had the timing
I was blind, oh oh
and everything that you meant to me
is written in the pages of my history


Dear Journal
I’ve done it again. Pushed him away, sent him away. It took all of my willpower not to stop him getting in that cab. I still have this urge to run to him, to crawl in bed beside him and just cuddle him. To just see him. And not for the first time am I ready to give up everything for him. I’d sell my soul for him. I’d die for him. Or maybe I already have, because part of me feels dead. I told him that I didn’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t had a miscarriage but I do. I’d have gone to LA to be with him. He became my dream again and now I’ve probably lost him, forever.
Joey.

but it’s over now as far as I can see
suddenly (suddenly)

things are so different now you’re gone
I thought it’d be easy I was wrong
(and now I’m caught) and now I’m caught in the middle
even though I’m with someone new
all I can think about is you
(and now I’m caught) and now I’m caught in the middle


Dear Journal
I want to run to her and wrap my arms around her. I want to tell her ‘I love her’ and that I’ll try and take away all the pain, even though I know I can’t. I want to be with her and right now I’d be willing to sacrifice everything for her. I always have been prepared to do that. I called mum and told her everything. She says she’ll pay Joey a visit when she gets back from Ohio. For some reason I expected her to be disappointed in me, disappointed in Joey. We were careless. But she wasn’t, she was sympathetic. She told me how she had felt when this happened to her. The pain doesn’t go away, but eventually it will get easier to live with. I just can’t stop thinking about her. Is it possible for me to still have dreams for the future knowing that she might never be a part of them?
Dawson.

moving on she brings me brighter days
but thoughts of you are in my mind always
like a memory that I can’t erase
it’s here to stay, whoa

things are so different now you’re gone
I thought it’d be easy I was wrong


Dear Journal
What do you do when the head and the heart collide? How should I go on with this? Carrying the burden of this secret, staying with Pacey and sending Dawson away. Do I do what is always done or face the truth? Should I use my head whilst the heart tries to forget? Tries to heal? And what of the future? Part of me says ‘break all ties’. But part of me is afraid to be alone.
Joey

(and now I’m caught) and now I’m caught in the middle
even though I’m with someone new
all I can think about is you
(and now I’m caught) and now I’m caught in the middle

so different (it’s so different)
so easy (oh so easy)
(but I can’t get over) and I can’t get over you
so different (it’s so different)
so easy (so easy)
(but I can’t get over) and I can’t get over you, no babe

things are so different now you’re gone
I thought it’d be easy I was wrong
(and now I’m caught) and now I’m caught in the middle


Dear Journal
Mom wants me to come home for a while. She says that I ‘need time to heal’. I told her that coming home wasn’t an option. Why? Because at the moment Joey is going to be there. And how could anyone expect me to heal when everything would remind me of Joey, remind me of us. But more importantly it would just solidify the fact that she isn’t with me. That she is with him. Here we go again, more reasons to hate him. Is it cruel to hate him for having her, being with her? Is it cruel to think about calling him and telling him what happened? That I slept with ‘his’ girlfriend. To show him just what it really feels like to be betrayed. Show him that even now, I still share more with Joey than he does. To tell him that she still loves me? That he was never able to change that?
Dawson.

Scene: - Potter B and B.

The door goes and Joey goes to answer it.

JOEY: "Hello."
GAIL: "Hi Joey."
JOEY: "Gail? What can I do for you?"
Gail doesn’t say anything to begin with. She just walks towards Joey and hugs her.
GAIL: "I’m so sorry that you have to go through this."
JOEY: "Dawson told you?"

Still hugging Joey.
GAIL: "He called a few weeks ago. I wanted him to come home but he won’t. He did ask me to come and see how you where. He also thought that maybe I could help you in some way."

** caught in the middle - a1 **

We then see various scenes of Joey and Gail talking, some with Joey crying and some with Joey and Gail crying. The scene then goes to about an hour later, Gail is just about to leave.
GAIL: "The worst thing that you can do is bottle everything up, don’t keep everything to yourself. And if you find that you can’t say it then write it down. You can get through this Joey." Joey just nods her head. "If you ever need to talk just call me."
