Part 2
Andie turned quickly to Pacey, “Pacey, I’m so sorry about your dad”
“Thanks McPhee, I really appreciate it”
As she looked around the room Andie realised how much Pacey’s house had changed since he and Joey had moved in together. Pacey’s father had passed away only three months ago and with his mother living with Karen and Pacey’s nieces and nephews, Pacey and Joey had chosen to move in to the old house rather than sell it.
Andie couldn’t help but notice that where the pictures of children and ailed family pets once sat on the mantle were now pictures of them, the group altogether and pictures of Pacey and Joey. Moments they had spent together captured on film and displayed much to Andie’s angst. Small touches of Joey now scattered the house and Andie couldn’t help but be overcome with jealousy.
Suddenly two overly large male bodies enveloped Andie in a huge hug which seemed to engulf her. “Little Brother and Deputy Doug!” she said
“How’d you guess?” asked Dougie, “Well I could smell your overpriced and far to masculine for two gay guys scent!” Andie retorted
“Oh love to love you Lil sis!” replied Jack
“Well were only missing one person now” said Joey
Pacey crept up behind her an wrapped his arms around her, “Ahh yes the elusive Hollywood stud, Dawson Leery” he declared
“You rang!” replied Dawson who had suddenly burst from now where into Pacey’s hall. He grabbed Joey and flung her around. Andie could not have been happier that everyone was together again. Just as they should be, except for Jen.
They all missed Jen, but each in their own unique way. Sure they had all cried, but it had hit Jack the hardest. He and Doug were raising Amy by themselves and she was so beautiful. She looked just like Jen, beautiful blond hair and the most brilliant smile they had ever seen. Andie had made a point of staying close by so that she could help them, but it had been so long since they had all been together and Andie was determined to maintain her calm and celebrate the fact that they had known Jen instead of mourning that she was gone.
Pacey had lit an enormous bonfire just below the hill at the back of his house, they dragged chairs down towards it and as the heat from the fire pierced through the cold Capeside air, Andie took a second to listen as her friends shared stories in the near dark. She could hear Doug boasting about how Amy was starting to walk and to run. She could hear Joey quizzing Dawson about his latest starlet conquest and suddenly a pair of arms reach from behind her and hugged her.
“McPhee, you look amazing”
“Well Pace, you look … well you look old”
“Oh don’t banter me, McPhee. You playing with the best”
“Don’t worry yourself, Pacey, I invented banter, I can take care of myself. By the way is that grey in your hair old man.”
“Andie, I heard what happened” Pacey began.
“I don’t wanna talk about it Pacey, not here. I don’t want to ruin this great evening with all of our friends.” Andie said
“Not even to me” Pacey asked.
“Especially not you Pacey.” She replied.
Pacey had opened an old wound for Andie. Not long after Jen had died, Andie to had found out she was sick. Andie had cancer and she refused to tell anyone until she knew what was going to happen to her. She survived all of her treatments without the help of her friends and had only told Jack when she found out that the treatments had left her able to conceive a child, but never to carry it to full term. This made her chances of being a mother slim to none. She had proven just as stubborn over Pacey’s questioning as she had over telling anyone to begin with.
But she was fine now, she had come to terms with the fact that she would never have children and although the though of children of her own was never far from her mind, at this time she really didn’t have anyone to share it with so it didn’t matter much.
“Thanks” she said as Dawson handed her a glass of red wine
“Your welcome” he replied
“So hows my favourite hot shot director?” Andie asked
“No complaints” said Dawson “Starting to feel the effect of this wine though” he laughed.
“Yeah I know what you mean!” Andie replied
Andie knew that the red wine should have stopped two bottles of wine ago when Jack had suggested that they drag out the karaoke machine, to which Joey had quite quickly and quite sensibly put a stop to.
She stared over at Pacey and Joey, their hands intertwined and eyes permanently attached to each other. She had survived her parents break up, her brothers death, her crazy mother and even her own morality but the sight that still broke her heart was that of the man she had loved for so long, looking so in love with someone else. She stared blankly into her glass, drank the rest and proceeded to pour another.
The night followed in kind of a slightly drunken blur to Andie. She knew that the karaoke machine HAD come out and at one stage Doug was a little more Village People than Andie cared to remember. Now the morning had come and as she blurrily opened her eyes, Andie could sense that she wasn’t alone in bed.
She didn’t want to turn over, she hadn’t been that drunk. What had she done, what had happened that she had slept with Pacey, HE wasn’t that drunk she thought. Part of her dreaded to turn over, the other part wanted to lean over and see the man she had been dreaming of being with for so long.
She rolled over. “Dawson” she exclaimed
“Umm…………… hey!” he replied |
