1. You saw right through this

"Sorry Dawson, he's just too repelling!"

Yeah right Joey, Pacey was 500 times cuter than Dawson. Everyone knows "I hate you" really means "I want you."

2. The second they started getting along

You became giddy with excitement because you were SO OVER how Joey was super into Dawson. You started shipping Pacey and Joey well before season 3, aka right here.

3. Who comforted Joey after Dawson's rejection?

PACEY! Dawson lost Joey the second he asked Pacey to "look out for Joey."

4. You saw the all potential for them as dance partners

And future lovers. Joey needed Pacey for a favor, in turn she tutors him in math eventually leading him to be a better student & better man, you knew the deal.

5. Pacey saved the Potter B&B!!

Then he watched Joey sleep.

"You know you love someone when you can spend the entire night just sitting by the fire watching them sleep," Grams knew what was up and so did you.

6. Pacey bought Joey a wall

A freaking WALL. When her mural got ruined by the assholes at school, Pacey didn't want Joey to feel down. He also wanted to express his feelings for her at the same time. Point proven Pacey. Where are the boys buying me walls?

7. Pacey knew exactly how to fix Joey's bad weekend

And confront her obvious feelings for him. Regardless, you screamed "I KNEW IT," at the TV when this happened. Seriously, Pacey was the God of unexpected kisses.

8. THIS KISS

It was real and then same eppy, Joey kissed Pacey and you happy cried to yourself, because they are your OTP

9. This tender dance scene at prom

Pacey knew she was wearing her mom's bracelet, because he remembers everything, because he is PERFECT. They weren't where you wanted them yet, but you saw what came next.

10. When Joey sailed away with Pacey for the summer

You literally jumped off the couch, ran in circles, cried, and then proceeded to rewatch Joey's whole confession. "I want to stop standing still and move forward. I wanna come with you."

11. THE FINALLY DID IT.

Season 4 was your season. You shipped them so hard and this was the moment you waited for. "We were alone on a boat for three months and you understood without a word why I wasn’t ready. Do you have to ask me now why I am?" Once it happened, you knew there was no other man for Joey.

12. The one moment you predicted, and refused to accept

The hardest breakup you ever went through, to this day, and you're still not over it. You kind of blacked out the time and people you were with after it (all of season 5 and 6) until you found hope again.

13. Joey still talked to Pacey when this unfortunate thing was on his face

Only a woman truly (deep, deep down) in love could stay so friendly with a man and fall for him again when he was marring his beautiful face with this atrocity.

14. The lock in at Kmart gave you heart palpitations

This made you feel nostalgic for seasons 3 & 4 and you needed things to be okay again. But you knew, even with Eddie still somewhat in the picture and things a mess, that there was a future for them. This episode gave us all hope.

15. This heartbreaking (foreshadowing) moment

He was giving her a choice, because he loved her enough that her happiness was the most important thing, even if it didn't include him. Reason #34335 why Pacey was always the better man. But then....

16. SHE PICKED HIM!!!!!!!!

YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG! She was always Pacey's girl! After all that time, their love stayed true and you made sure to tell every person you know that you had called it all along. You especially rubbed in the faces of your friends who wanted Dawson to win. The writers tried to trick you with all those scenes she had with Dawson, but you knew it wasn't real. PACEY + JOEY = FOREVER (from your 6th grade notebook)

17. And then the show ended

And you've been crying like this ever since.
