timeline-beginning of season 2. Andie and Jack came to Capeside but Andie and
Pacey never went out nor did Dawson and Joey date.
authors note- I know the B&B hadn't been started yet in season 2 but just
pretend it was :)
Chapter 2
Joey- Finally. Alone at last.
(Joey mutters to herself)
Bessie, Bodie, Alex, and the B&B guests had all left about 10 minutes ago
and she was finally alone enjoying the quiet nature of the house which is
something she really got. School had been stressing lately. She knew this
wasn't the MOST important of high school but to her every year was important.
After all, they would determine her fate for the rest of her life. She'd been
pulling a few all-nighters in order to study or work on school projects,
followed by a school day filled with added work and note taking. Then of course
there was the B&B and Alex; two things she had to take care of regularly.
She certainly had a full plate. This weekend she had no homework, no projects,
and no B&B guests. The B&B was such a success there was rarely a day
with no guests, never mind a whole weekend. Yup, Joey Potter was definitely
looking forward to weekend of down time.
Joey walked over and put on Kiss 108 FM. Aerosmith was just ending a one of her
favorite singers at the time, Nina Gordon, began blaring through the speakers.
Just as the song started she heard a knock at the door.

Pacey didn't know what to do or where to go. He just knew he had to get out of
that house and away from his father. No one knew his dad hit him. He didn't
want the sympathy nor did he want his whole world to get turned around which he
knew it would if anyone found out. God knows what could happen if this leaked
out. Who knows; maybe nothing would. The town probably wouldn't even believe
it. After all, his father was the respected town sheriff. Alls Pacey needed
were more rumors being spread about him. No, he couldn't do that again. Just
then he heard some shouting. Great!! His parents were fighting AGAIN. That's
all they did. Well, if they were fighting then they'd be distracted and
probably wouldn't notice if he snuck down the stairs and out the door. Without
a moments hesitation he got up. He slowly opened his bedroom door and listened.
Yup, still fighting. He crept down the
stairs and out the door. He breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He didn't know
where to go so he just walked. He just walked and thought, not really paying
attention. He thought about his dad and his awful home life. But he also
thought about her.. He always thought about her. His Joey. Well actually Dawson’s
Joey. Pacey loved Joey. He really did with all of his heart and he had for a
while. But she didn't love him and Dawson loved her and she loved Dawson. He
knew she would never love him in that way. But as long as she was happy, he
could deal with it. He looked up and was brought out of his thoughts when he
realized where he'd ended up. At her house. Funny he thought. Everything always
goes back to her.

Joey-This better not be someone looking for a room! (Joey muttered to herself
as she opened the door, music still blaring) Welcome to the Potter...(Joey
trailed off as she saw who its was.) Pacey?! What the hell happened?
Joey couldn't believe what she
was looking. Pacey all bruised and battered. She figured he must've gotten in a
fight but he had this look in his eyes. Almost like his whole world had just
fallen down around him. She loved Pacey although she would never admit it to
anyone. She'd loved him for a while. Years even. But then he'd started teasing
her and she figured he didn't like her all that much so she retaliated and
their sparring relationship had begun. As they grew older she knew he cared
about her but not beyond friendship. So she moved on to someone she knew cared
about her as more then a friend.; Dawson. She did love Dawson but not like she
loved Pacey. But she couldn't have Pacey so...
Pacey didn't
know what did it. Probably the day’s events, his tormented home life, and all
the other shit he was dealing with. But then when he saw her and the concern
etched in her face he just cracked. He broke down and started sobbing.
Joey didn't
know why he was crying or how he'd gotten beat up. She was a little confused to
say the least. But what she did know was that one of her best friends, someone
she cared about, and someone she loved was in pain. Instinct took over and she
pulled him into her house and closed the door. She led him over to the couch
and she sat down. He laid down on the couch with his head in her lap, her arms
around him and he wept while the music played.
Down to the earth
I fell with dripping wings
Heavy things wont fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world that's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes
And I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me
And I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life
And I
Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms
I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
And I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life
