A Day In The Life Of Dawson
by Melody
Dawson woke up in a good mood. His parents were away 'finding each other' and he had the house to himself. He flipped through some channels on the television, but could find nothing to watch. So he decided to call Joey.
"Hello?"
"Hey Joey! It's Dawson."
"I know it's you Dawson. God, we've only been friends forever. I think I know your voice by now."
"What's wrong? Did I wake you?"
"No Dawson. The baby woke me. What do you want?"
"Just wanted to see what you were doing today. Want to hang out?"
"I don't know Dawson. I have to study and babysit and clean the house. I'll call you if I get a break, okay?"
"Sure. I'll be here."
"Okay, bye."
Dawson hung up the phone. Well, I guess Joey's out of the question for today. He picked up the phone again and called Jenn.
"Hello?"
"Jenn, it's Dawson."
"Hey Dawson, what's up."
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Not really sure. Grams has got me gardening since this morning. I'm sure I'll be tired. Why?"
"I asked Joey to come over but she's having a rough day too. Wanted to see if you wanted to do anything?"
"I'm not sure Dawson. Let me call you back in a minute, okay?"
"Great, talk to you in a minute."
While waiting for Jenn to call, Dawson decided to call Pacey.
"Yeah."
"Pacey, it's Dawson."
"Dawson! My fine troubled friend. What's new?"
"I was wondering if you could do me a favor."
"What's that? Dawson Leery needs a favor from a little boy like me? I am so honored! Whatever can I do to repay this debt!"
"Be serious for once in your life."
"Fine, what do you need?"
"Can you call Joey? I just talked to her and she seems really stressed about something."
"It's probably just PMS Dawson. Women get like that around this age. What's wrong? She turned down that boyish charm of yours?"
"Can you just call her? Call me back after you talk to her."
"Okay."
As soon as Dawson hung up the phone it rang. It was Jenn. "Hey Dawson. I'll probably stop by later, okay?"
"Sure Jenn, that would be great. See you then." He hung up, only to have the phone ring again. It was Pacey. "Hey, it's me. She's fine. Told me she just didn't want to talk to you."
"She said that?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"Yes, you would."
"I don't think so Dawson. Really, she said she was tired of dealing with your problems and just couldn't be bothered today."
Dawson was silent. "Dawson, you there?"
"I don't see why she would say that. She didn't say anything when I talked to her."
"Let it go Dawson. Women are scary creatures. Don't ever confront them with things they say. I'll see you later."
"Yeah, okay. Thanks."
"No problem." The phone went dead. Dawson hung it up and picked up his ET doll. "Guess it's just you and me today pal."
