Joey’s house. Joey’s on the phone.
Joey: Hello? Doug?
Doug: Hi Joey. How are doing?
Joey: I’m alright.
Doug: You had fun on your trip?
Joey: Yeah it was fun. Um is Pacey there?
Doug: What you didn’t get enough of my brother in three months?
Joey: Yeah, I just need to speak to him.
Doug: Alright, just a minute.
Joey: Thanks.
Doug: (Yelling) Pacey! Your girlfriend’s on the phone.
Pacey: Hello?
Joey: Hi Pacey. I need to speak to your immediately.
Pacey: Okay name the place.
Joey: My place.
Pacey: Okay. I’ll be right over. Bye
Joey: Bye.
Cut to Pacey walking up the steps to Joey’s house. Joey opens the door for Pacey.
Joey: Hi come on in. Do you want anything to drink?
Pacey: Uh sure, what do you got?
Joey: UM soda, orange juice, apple juice.
Pacey: I’ll have some orange juice.
Joey: Coming right up.
Pacey: So what did you want to talk about that was so important?
Joey: (hand him the orange juice) Here you go.
Pacey: Thanks.
Joey: Why don’t you sit down.
Pacey: Uh Oh that does not sound good.
Joey: I have a lot to say so don’t stop me just listen. Pacey: Alright.
Joey: (takes a deep breath) When you kissed me the first time. I felt something. It was new and interesting and forbidden. And that’s what first drew me to you. I just wanted something new. Everytime I was with you I felt this major rush. Plus I was running away. It was just like when I went Jack as soon as things started to get complicated with Dawson what did I do? I broke up with him and ran straight into the arms of Jack. That’s my problem I’m afraid of commitment because I ‘m afraid that I’m going to lose that person. Just like I lost every other person that I cared about: my mom my dad. And I just didn’t want to lose Dawson because I care about him so much. And you, you were safe. I care about you but just not in the same way that you care about me. I’m so sorry.
Pacey: Okay but what I don’t Understand is what did you tell me that you’re in love with me and sail off into the sunset with me?
Joey: As I recall you never actually said that you love me back.
(Pacey doesn’t say anything)
Joey: Well?
Pacey: Well what?
Joey: Do you love me?
Pacey: (he looks down) No. No I don’t)
Joey: You don’t?
Pacey: No I don’t. I do care for you but I have only said I love you to one person.
Joey: Andie?
Pacey: Yeah Andie.
Joey: Are you still in love with her Pacey?
Pacey: Yeah I am. I never stopped loving her. She was everything to me Joey. Then she had to go and mess everything up. Why did she have to sleep him? What we had was so perfect. She would come back well and healthy and then we would be happy again.
Joey: Why don’t you go back to her?
Pacey: I can’t Jo, she doesn’t love me anymore, not after everything that happened I went after you and it just…it just wouldn’t work.
Joey: You don’t know that. Go to her Pacey. Tell her that you still love her and want to try again.
Pacey: You’re just saying that so you don’t feel guilty when you go after Dawson.
Joey: You know that’s not true.
Pacey: Well are you going after Dawson?
Joey: Yeah I am I’m going to do the right thing and I hope you do to.
Joey: Anyways I have to go I was going to talk to Dawson tomorrow but I’m going to talk to him right now.
Pacey: Alright, see ya Joey. And good luck.
Joey: Thanks. I might need it.
Part four coming soon…
