Author's Note: I've been playing with this for a while, but it's Steph (my little Locoboca) who gave me the inspiration.

Special, you think your special
You do, I can see it in your eyes
I can see it when you laugh at me
Look down on me and, you walk around on me
Just one more fight about your leadership
And I will straight up leave your ...
Cause I�ve had enough of this
And now I�m pissed (yeah)
This time I�m a let it all come out
This time I�m a stand up and shout
I'm a do things my way, it's my way,
My way or the highway
This time I�m a let it all come out
This time I�m a stand up and shout
I'm a do things my way, it's my way,
My way or the highway
Just one more fight about a lotta things
And I will give up everything
To be on my own again,
Free again
This time I�m a let it all come out
This time I�m a stand up and shout
I'm a do things my way, it's my way,
My way or the highway
This time I�m a let it all come out
This time I�m a stand up and shout
I'm a do things my way, it's my way,
My way or the highway
Someday you'll see things my way
Cause you never know, no ya never know
When your gonna go
Someday you'll see things my way
Cause you never know, no ya never know
When your gonna go
Just one more fight and I�ll be history
Yes I will straight up leave your shit
And you'll be the one who's left
Missing me (yeah)
This time I�m a let it all come out
This time I�m a stand up and shout
I'm a do things my way, it's my way,
My way or the highway
This time I�m a let it all come out
This time I�m a stand up and shout
I'm a do things my way, it's my way,
My way or the highway
Someday you'll see things my way
Cause you never know, when ya never know
When your gonna go
Someday you'll see things my way
Cause you never know, when ya never know

8pm
Joey slowly made her way down the road to the Yacht Club, tonight she wouldn't be working though,
tonight she'd be apologizing to the devil himself.
After analyzing whether she should or not for over an hour, and having Pacey tell her that whatever was on
her mind and distracting her from making out with him she needed to take care of it, she decided to go
apologize, and that's how she found herself outside of the Valentine's apartment.
Joey looked up at the apartment, and noticed that there was a light on in one of the windows, she exhaled a
deep sigh. "There's no turning back now, Potter, you've made it this far," she said, and began walking up
the stairs to the front door.
She knocked on the door, and wrapped her jacket tighter around her, it was extremely chilly for a January
night, these were the nights that made her yearn for the summer nights on the boat with Pacey. Thinking of
Pacey brought a smile to Joey's face, just what she needed to think about before doing what she was about
to do.
Joey knocked on the door once more, and like the first time, there was no answer, she began banging on the
door, and yelling, "Drue, wake up, it's Joey." Joey cupped her hands over her eyes, and peered into one of
the windows, and there was Mrs. Valentine lying on the couch passed out, gripping a thing of Ben & Jerry's
ice-cream.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Joey Potter, aren't you on the wrong side of town, or wait, let me guess,
the B&B is going down, and you decided you'd run over here, and beg on your knees for my family to take
pity on you," a male voice behind her spoke, causing her to turn towards him startled.
Joey glared at him, she couldn't believe that she had came all this way just so she could be ridiculed by the
likes of Drue. "For your information, I was coming here to apologize for jumping to conclusions early,
but..." she began
"Aww, how sweet. Joey Potter showing some kind of emotion besides bitchiness, not every day you see
that, unless she's sucking face with Pacey Witter, but that's just a technicality," he said interrupting her.
Joey glared at Drue, and began walking past him until he grabbed her forearm, causing her to rip her arm
away from him, "You're forgiven," Drue said, and smiled a mischievous smile.
"I take it back, I wouldn't apologize to you if you were the last male on earth, no, scratch that, the last
*thing* on earth, because Drue, that's what you are, a thing," she said.
"How Kindergarten of you," he said, but Joey kept talking.
"You prey on everyone who you think is weaker than you, hoping to drop everyone down a notch to make
your over-inflated ego a little bit higher, and after that's over you're left with nothing, and that's all you are
inside...nothing. No emotions, and no heart," she said in one breath.
Drue's jaw was set, and his bluish/green eyes were now turned deep dark blue. "You know nothing about
me, so don't even start," he said
Joey took a step closer to Drue, and he took a step back, but seeing as the railing was there he had nowhere
to go. "Then tell me Drue, tell me, tell me why you pick on me and my friends? Tell me why you instigate
every little thing that goes on in this town. Tell me why you're so god damn mean," she said seething.
Drue turned from Joey, and looked up in the sky, and sighed, "What's this? The Spanish Inquisition, next
thing you know, you're going to be wanting to know why I kissed you earlier," he said.
"Actually, now that you mentioned it, why did you? You know I'm dating Pacey, but you still did it
anyways? Why? You get off in kissing girls that you know you can't have, and who you know don't want
you? Is that it? Were your hormones taking over you? Answer me, dammit," Joey said, reaching out to
bring Drue's line of view to her.
Drue was now seething mad. "You really want to know why I kissed you, Joey? You really want to know
why I did it, huh? I kissed you because I like you", he said, making Joey move her hands from his face, and
gasping, he didn't stop there though. "I admit it Joey, I like you, I don't know how it happened, and I don't
know why, but since then I can't get you off of my mind, I can't stop thinking about you, and I can't stop
thinking about what it would be like to put that sarcastic tongue of yours to good use. Is that what you
wanted to hear, well there, you happy?"
Joey didn't say anything for a while, she just looked up at Drue in disbelief, she couldn't believe the words
that were coming out of his mouth. Not since Pacey had told her how he felt for her last year had she heard
words come tumbling from someone's mouth that made her stomach do flip-flops, and had her as confused
as she was at this very moment.
If Drue's words weren't enough to make her confused, what he did next was, Dru leaned down, and kissed
Joey with all his might, and this time, Joey didn't fight back.
