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
