Chapter Twenty-Eight

♡➶︎♡

All along there were an invisible string tying you to me

My parents were going to be working at the restaurant and making out while doing it as usual. My brother was going to be busy with Joey and Stephen. We had the house to ourselves.

I come up to him after school and let him know.

"My house is empty" I hint as I walk by him. "Meet me there?"

"You and I in an empty house together? I'm in."

"Oh down Pacey" I laugh.

I walk off and go find Jen.

"So how is my Jen Lindley on this fine day" I ask as I walk up next to her.

"Someone's blissful" she says as we walk.

"What? Can I not be curious about my best friends day?"

"I mean it was fine, I think Henry is getting me a really nice corsage for prom. I am actually excited for a mediocre high school ritual."

"That is surprising."

"How about you? I know you and Pacey are staying friends, but know that I am rooting for you two."

"I know Jen, and I wish" I say sounding disappointed. Little did she know.

"Hey we should go Prom dress shopping soon, I don't have many in the back of my closet."

"I can't say I have one either."

"Okay, I'll call you about it later."

"You better" I joke with her.

"Love ya" she says as we walk away.

"I love you too Jen" I say as I walk away and rush into my car.

I drive and get there, his truck already parked.

"Where the hell have you been" he asks getting out of his truck.

"Talking to Jen about getting a dress for Prom" I say as we walk into my house.

"So what's our plan for Prom anyway" he asks as we walk up the stairs and sit on my bed.

"You know I was thinking this one over. I think I have a great Idea."

"Coming from you, it's probably brilliant."

"Thanks Pacey" I say getting distracted. "Anyways, I will continuously complain to Dawson about having no date. He will get so tired that he will then convince you, his best friend, to go with me. Then we are stuck together and get to be together."

"I am dating a mastermind" he says kissing me.

We kiss for a while until I interrupt.

"Did you hear that" I ask. I swear I heard a door shut.

"Hear what-" Pacey says until I put my hand over his mouth to interrupt. I hear someone in my kitchen.

"Go sneak out Dawsons room" I whisper to him and push him out. He runs and I tidy myself up to see what is going on. I realize he left his shoes and bag in my room. I go over and chuck his shoes down, but don't get the bag down.

I rush out of his room and go downstairs to see what's going on.

Dawson is coming up the stairs as I try to go downstairs.

"Oh hey Daphne" he says as he walks up.

"Hey Dawson. Why are you home?"

"Wow, you are so happy to see me. Joey and Stephen cancelled, so I'm back home. Is Pacey here? His truck is."

"Oh I'm not sure, it wasn't when I got hear. I've been listening to music and reading, so I've been oblivious."

"Oh okay" he says trying to go past me.

"Oh my god Dawson I am so upset" I say trying to distract him for Pacey to have more time.

"Why" he says confused. I never really do complain to him about my problems, so it must be weird for him.

"I don't have a date for Prom and you need one to get in. I mean I just want to cry I don't know what to do."

"I'm sure you'll figure it out won't you" he says as he opens his door and goes in.

This kid won't even listen to me talk.

"Pacey" I hear him say confused.

"Hey Dawson, I just wanted to hang out. Is that okay" he asks.

"Sure" he answers as he puts his stuff down.

"You know we should buy tuxes later" he suggested to Dawson. "Although I don't have a date so I'm not sure what to do."

Dawson shuts the door and I am cut off from hearing anything. Also, Pacey was way too obvious about it, didn't wait long enough.

Jen did call me later on when I was hanging out alone, we are set to get dresses later! I cannot wait, but I really hope that I get to go with Pacey.
