Chapter 6

    Pacey just couldn't take it any more. Sure he'd only been waiting with Bessie for 45 minutes and Doug had only started looking for Joey about 15 minutes ago, but it had seemed like an eternity. Deciding he couldn't take it any longer he decided to call Doug on his cell phone.

Pacey- Bess, I'm just gonna give Doug a quick call. I'm sure he would've called with any new information but..

Bessie- I understand Pace. I feel the same way. Go give him a call.

Pacey- Ok, I'll be right back.

Bessie- K.

    Pacey went into the kitchen, picked up the phone, and dialed Dougs cell phone number. Doug picked it up on the second ring.

Doug- Doug Witter here.

Pacey- Hey, Doug, it's me.

Doug- Oh hey Pace.

Pacey- I know you haven't been out long but have you found anything?

Doug- No, Pace I haven't. I'm sorry.

Pacey- Not your fault. Look I wanted to just run something by you, ok?

Doug- Sure.

Pacey- Well earlier today I had the TV on and there was this news report about some escaped convict who was supposedly heading for Capeside. You don't think this could be any way related, do you?

Doug- I have to admit that thought did cross my mind. I told dad about all of this and he has men out looking for that guy. They're even going to look in our neighboring towns for this guy, on the off chance that this could be related.

Pacey- Doug, I asked if you thought this could be related. Please, just give me a truthful answer.

Doug- Ok, well I've thought about that a lot and if he was here, Capeside being such a small town, I thought someone would've seen him. Also if this guy is on the run, why would he kidnap someone? That would just slow him down. However, on the other hand, what else could've happened? Don't get me wrong Pace, there are other possibilities. But this guy seems like the most likely one. It seems very convenient that Joey comes up missing the day this guy supposedly blows through town. Actually Pace, I really don't know if this is connected or not.

Pacey- Yeah, well thanks for the impute. And thank you for all that you're doing.

Doug- No problem Pace. Are you gonna stay with Bessie, or are you going home now?

Pacey- I think I'm gonna stick around here for a while. Bodie's visiting relatives so Bessie doesn't really have anyone.

Doug- Ok, good idea Pace. If I find anything out I'll call you at Bessie's.

Pacey- Ok, thanks Doug.

Doug- No problem. Talk to you later.

Pacey- Bye.

    Pacey hung up the phone and walked back into the living room. Bessie looked up hopefully.

Bessie- Any news?

Pacey- No, not yet.

Bessie- Oh.

Pacey- I'm sure he'll find something real soon Bess. Do you wanna try Bodie again?

Bessie- Yeah, maybe this time someone'll pick up. I'll be right back.

Pacey- Ok. I'm just gonna use the bathroom.

Bessie- All right.

    Pacey turned around to leave the room when Bessie called his name.

Bessie- Pace?

Pacey- Yeah Bess?

Bessie- Thank you for everything.

Pacey- I haven't done anything.

Bessie- You've done more than you know.

    And with that Bessie left the room.

    Pacey didn't really have to go to the bathroom. He just felt stupid telling Bessie he wanted to go to Joey's room but that was where he was headed. He couldn't help it. Ever since he had gotten there, he'd wanted to go into her room, but had resisted. He just couldn't resist any more. He walked down the hall and opened the door to her room. He immediately could smell her.

    He walked in and surveyed the room. Bed made, window shades up, a couple of pieces of clothing strewn around but basically neat. Then he walked over to the little board where she pinned up her most cherished pictures. There were pictures of her family and friends scattered all over it. However the picture that was right in the middle was the one that caught his attention. It was a picture of the two of them. It had been taken a couple of months ago at her house by Bessie. In the picture Pacey was behind her with his arms around her waist, her back against his chest. Bessie had made them stand that way, under much protest. He still remembered that day vividly.

*flashback*

Bessie- I wanna get a picture of you guys.

Joey- And why is this?

Bessie- Jo you know how much I love pictures. Now hush and get together.

Pacey- I don't know Bess. I don't think Jo is what you'd call photogenic.

Joey- Well if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black...

Pacey- Oh Potter, shut up.

Bessie- You two stop with the bantering and get in a pose.

    Both decided to stop and stood next to each other.

Bessie- I don't like it.

Joey- What's wrong with the pose?

Bessie- I don't know... it's just not personal enough.

Pacey- Well then what would be personal enough?

Bessie- I've got it. Pacey get behind Joey.

Pacey- Ok Bess, but I will have you know I don't feel very comfortable doing this kind of stuff to your sister in front of you.

Joey- Pacey, that's what dreams are for.

Pacey- Hahaha you're so funny Josephine.

Joey- I know.

Bessie- Ok, now Pacey put your arms around her waist and Joey lean into him.

Joey- Bess I don't really-

Bessie- Do not argue with me Josephine Potter.

Joey- Fine but if he tries anything I am not liable for what body parts of his may be mutilated.

Pacey- She'll find any excuse to fondle me!

Joey- Keep 'dreamin Witter.

Pacey- Always.

    Bessie wasn't really doing this for a photo op. She wanted these two together! She figured they just needed a few subtle hints and this was one of them; close contact.

    Right when Pacey and Joey got in position they both felt it; a connection, a heat.

Bessie- Ok now smile.

    And they did.

*back to the present*

    After being in her room, seeing all the pictures, remembering all the memories, and everything else that had happened Pacey couldn't hold it in any longer. He fell on her bed and began to cry while it rained outside.

                                                    Hello
                                      Can you hear me?
                                  Am I getting through to you?

                                              Hello
                                      Is it late there?
                              Is there laughter on the line?
                              Are you sure you're there alone?

                                          'Cause I'm
                                      Trying to explain
                                      Somethin's wrong
                              Ya just don't sound the same

                                      Why don't you
                                      Why don't you
                                      Go outside
                                      Go outside

                                  Kiss the rain
                              Whenever you need me
                                  Kiss the rain
                              Whenever I'm gone too long.

                                      If your lips
                              Feel lonely and thirsty
                                  Kiss the rain
                          And wait for the dawn.

                              Keep in mind
                          We're under the same sky
                                  And the nights
                          Are as empty for me as for you

                                  If you feel
                          You can't wait till morning
                                  Kiss the rain
                                  Kiss the rain
                                  Kiss the rain

                                      Hello
                              Do you miss me?
                              I hear you say you do
                          But not the way I'm missin' you

                                  What's new?
                                  How's the weather?
                             Is it stormy where you are?
                          'Cause I'm so close but it feels like you're
                                              so far

                                  Oh would it mean anything
                                          If you knew
                                      What I'm left imagining
                                              In my mind
                                              In my mind
                                          Would you go
                                          Would you go
                                          Kiss the rain

                                  And you'd fall over me
                                      Think of me
                                          Think of me
                                      Think of me
                                          Only me

                                      Kiss the rain
                                  Whenever you need me
                                      Kiss the rain
                          Whenever I'm gone too long
                                  If your lips
                          Feel lonely and tempted
                                  Kiss the rain
                              And wait for the dawn

                                      Keep in mind
                                   We're under the same sky
                                      And the nights
                              Are as empty for me as for you

                                          If you feel
                              You can't wait until morning

                                      Kiss the rain
                                      Kiss the rain
                                      Kiss the rain
                                      Kiss the rain
                                      Ooooooooh
                                      Kiss the rain
                                      Ooooooooh
                                      Kiss the rain

                                          Hello
                              Can you hear me?
                              Can you hear me?
                              Can you hear me?
