Chapter 11

Pacey- Oh my God.

Joey- What the hell is he doing here?

Pacey- God only knows.

Joey- C'mon, Pace. Lets leave. We can go somewhere else and wait for him to leave.

Pacey- No, I can't do that.

Joey- Why not?

Pacey- Because, although I'm positive he would never touch Bessie or Bodie, it's not fair to leave him here for them to handle. That and, I can't keep running from him. I have to face up to him some day. I knew this day would come. I just wasn't prepared for it.

Joey- Pace, we'll all be behind you the whole way. We won't let him hurt you; I promise. But honestly, are you sure you wanna do this?

Pacey- No, I don't want to. However, yes, I'm sure that I have to. C'mon, lets go in.

Joey- Ok.

    They both entered the B&B, neither knowing what to expect. They were immediately met by Bessie.

Bessie- Hi, guys. Pace, your dad's in the other room. If you don't want to see him, I could tell him to leave.

Pacey- No, Bessie, that's all right. I guess a visit was inevitable.

Bessie- Ok, well sweetie he's in the living room. If you need anything we'll be right in here.

Pacey- Ok, thanks Bess.

    Pacey left to go face his dad.

Bodie- Is he going to be ok?

Joey- I hope so. Look, I'm going to just quietly stand outside the living room and make sure everything goes ok.

Bessie- Well Jo, they probably need their privacy.

Joey- Trust me, they don't.

Bodie- Jo, how bad exactly, was Paceys home life?

Joey- We can talk about all of this later. Right now, I just have to make sure he stays ok.

    And she left to go check on things.

Pacey- What are you doing here?

John Witter- Is that any way to greet your father?

Pacey- You're not my father. Having the same blood doesn't make you my father. A father is someone who is always there for his kids to love and support them. To make sure they're ok, and happy. A father doesn't degrade and hit his children. Only a monster does.

John Witter- You've got a hell of a nerve boy.

Pacey- Oh, I've got a hell of a nerve? I think you're the one with the nerve. You come over and expect... what exactly? Why did you come?

John Witter- Your mother wanted me to come and check up on you. See how you were doing and when you were coming home.

Pacey- Why didn't she come?

John Witter- She said she feels to ashamed. The only reason I came was to shut her up. It's not like I care one way or the other.

Pacey- Well, that's all very noble of you but I'm just fine. Better then I've ever been so you can just mossy on along now.

John Witter- I don't care if you're not living in my house at the moment, but you will not presume to tell me what to do. Are you gone permanently?

Pacey- Yes. I don't know if I'll stay here or what but there is no way in hell I 'm ever returning to that house. Not while you're still there.

John Witter- Well, I'd say we'll miss you but.... why lie? Who would miss an ungrateful screw up like you?

Pacey- Thank you.

John Witter- Excuse me?

Pacey- Thank you for saying that. You see, when I was younger I used to have this idea in my head that if I did everything in my power to make you proud that you would love me. Then you would say these incredibly mean things to me and it would
break my heart. I used to believe the things you used to say about me. But, I just realized, I don't care at all anymore. You know why? Because I don't hold any value to you. I don't care what you think of me, because you're just a miserable, abusive,
drunk who will spend every day for the rest of your life unhappy. But now I have people who actually care about me. People who think I'm not a screw up and that I will be something great one day. I have people that I love, who return that love, and
that is all I need. So take your drunken self and shove it.

John Witter- Oh you son-of-a-bitch.

Bessie- Mr. Witter I believe your time is up. Now with all due respect sir, get the hell out of my house.

John Witter- Sorry, Ms. Potter, but I do not take orders.

    By this time Pacey, John Witter, Bodie, Bessie, and Joey were all in the living room.

Bodie- I'm not a violent man sir, but remove yourself from our property or I will remove you, myself.

John Witter- Fine. None of you are worth a damn anyhow.

Joey- Oh, and Mr. Witter?

John Witter- What?

Joey- Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

    And with that, Mr. Witter left.
