Chapter 8 by Ellasblues Disclaimer: Characters property of Kevin Williamson & the WB. No copyright infringement intended. I love DC and I am only trying to fix the damage that PS and KW did to this wonderful show. This is my third fanfic Summary: the main couple is P/An with a few other characters thrown in. to keep it interesting. This takes seven years after the season finale. In that time there has been a lot of changes and I would hope for the good. Please feedback is always appreciated. I need to say a big thank you to Michael for helping me make this a better story Pacey's hotel suite- a couple hours later Audrey impatiently knocked on the door of room 215. She was not sure who would answer but whoever was there would feel the sharp edge of her tongue. Her mission was to seek and destroy. After a few more vigorous knocks the door was opened by the last person she expected to see there. �Hello?� Madison gave Audrey a curious look. �Can I help you?� Audrey pushed past Madison into the room. �Is Pacey here?� Audrey looked into the bedroom. �Excuse me?� Madison exclaimed as she failed to stop a determined Audrey. Audrey crossed her arms and turned to face Madison, giving her the once over. Audrey then mumbled under her breath,�I could take her.� �Take what?� Madison in catching Audrey�s mumble was confused why this blonde had stormed into Pacey�s room. She thought that Pacey seemed to have a problem with blondes, and here was another one acting as if she owned the place. �You must be Madison right?� It was more of statement than a question. �That would be me and you are�?� Madison was becoming little annoyed with this strange blonde woman standing in front of her. �Who I am isn�t important lady, but why I�m here is.� Audrey took a step closer to Madison, who stepped back. This stranger was extremely hostile which made Madison wonder if Andie had sent her. �I don�t know what kind of sick game you�re playing here, but you have no idea what you�re up against.� Audrey started to point at Madison. �If there is any two people in this world that belong together, it�s Pacey and Andie. And from what I learned from another couple�s history, sister you�re just another dead raccoon on the road between them.� Audrey, having said her piece, turned to leave while Madison was little taken aback by the strange outburst she has just received from this complete stranger, who knew Pacey and Andie. But Audrey was not finished with Madison. She turned around again and said �and one more thing�Karma is a bitch baby so enjoy the ride while it lasts because it�ll be over soon.� As Audrey was leaving Pacey walked though the door almost bumbling into her. �Hey, Audrey what�s going on?� He looked around the room plainly hoping to see Andie there was well. �You really screwed the pooch this time Witter." Pacey sadly nodded his head agreement. He looked at Audrey and quietly asked �How is she?� �Like you have the right to know?� Audrey shot back. She was in no mood to let Pacey off the hook. It took all of her self control not to slap Madison and she was scared she was about to slap Pacey. Hard. �Tell her I am sorry.� Pacey looked away from Audrey. He didn�t want her to see how broken hearted he was. And the fact that her being here reminded him of the state of his relationship with Andie and the current mess he was in. �I will and by the way one more thing�� Audrey smiled politely and then slapped Pacey hard across the face. It felt good to take some of the pain she felt for Andie out on Pacey. �I can�t hit her because she�s pregnant but you�re fair game.� She slammed the door as she walked out leaving both Pacey and Madison stunned. . Pacey was the first to recover. He rubbed his cheek and chuckled to himself. �I deserved that.� Madison rushed to Pacey�s side. �Who was that lunatic?� Madison, quickly recovering and once again playing her new role made an effort to genuinely console him. �I�m fine Madison.� Pacey avoided her touch, seemingly repelled by her and tried to put as much space between them. He knew that she was so wrong, so horribly wrong for him. All he could think about was Andie and how she must be feeling at this very moment. He hoped Audrey didn�t make Andie hate him. Of everything that had happened, that would be the worse thing he could imagine. He could stand her not being with him but he would never cope with her hatred. She had once told him hate was a powerful force but so was love. Now Pacey hoped that she could hang on to the love she so obviously still had for him. Madison frowned at Pacey�s behaviour as if she knew he was thinking aobut that woman. She couldn�t bring herself to say her name. �I know that our relationship is strained right now, but I hope for the baby�s sake we at least could be civil to each other." Pacey sighed �Listen Madison, I told you I�d be there for you and the baby, but�� he rubbed his brow �if you think I believe that we have some kind of future together after this stunt you just pulled you�re crazier than I thought.� �So you cheat on me and then act like I have done something wrong.� her voice was filled with disgust. �Come on, you knew something was going on. We haven�t slept with each other in weeks. Not since-� �-since we got back from Chicago. � She finished his sentence. �But it all started in that damn airport. That�s when I noticed you were pulling away from me.� Madison couldn�t keep up her pretence any more. She was, is and would always be in love with Pacey and the only thing she wanted was for him to love her back. �I saw the way you looked at her that day; I knew I didn�t have a chance but maybe, just maybe if?� Pacey walked over to Madison.� If what? � �If I got pregnant, I could stop you from leaving me.� Pacey ran his fingers through his hair. �You planned this?� He could feel the anger build up inside of him. �Please, Pacey" Madison pleaded with him. "I love you.� He couldn�t look at her and when he finally did all he could see was her ugliness. �No, Madison. What you feel for me isn�t love.� He gave her an icy glare. �But I know what is and today I watched it walk out the door.� �Pacey you�re a fool." Madison snapped back. �If she really loved you she would stand by your side, she wouldn�t have run out at the first sign of trouble." �Don�t pretend to think you know her.� Pacey was on the verge of losing his cool �I�m the one that failed here.� He knew this statement hit too close to home. Madison recoiled at his words. He let out a heavy sigh �Look Madison, I�m done arguing with you. We�ll sort everything out when we get back to Boston. � Pacey turned and headed into the bedroom grabbed his bag and came back into the living room. �We need get going� he glanced over to her. �I have two seats reserved on the next flight to Boston and if we grab a cab now we�ll get there in time.� Madison gave Pacey a weak smile. �Are we in first class?� �Yes, your seat is first class.� Pacey replied coldly. Surprised, Madison asked. �And where�s your seat?� �In coach.� he said with no emotion. �Oh.� Madison bowed her head. She now understood that so far her plans had failed but she still held out hope that there was a way to win him over. She believed that if she made a huge effort in Boston, Pacey would forget about Andie. For love depended on geography didn�t it? She knew that with Andie so far away Pacey would be ripe for the taking. Pacey held the door open.� We need to get going.� Madison flashed Pacey a stellar smile as she passed him by, determined that she would not act defeated around him. The way Pacey was acting now she knew was a temporary setback but she�d won this round. He was going back to Boston with her and leaving Andie far, far behind. Pacey didn�t want to leave but he couldn�t stay here with her. He hated himself but knew that he would sort things out. No, he corrected himself, he had to resolve things with Madison sooner rather than later. Getting back to Andie and making her a part of his life just wouldn�t wait. There was no more time for waiting. If he didn�t act now he�d lose Andie once again and this time there wouldn�t be a third chance. He watched Madison�s smiling to herself and as they walked out to the taxi, the thought entered his mind that just maybe she was faking this pregnancy. The thought chilled him. Could she be that evil? |
