Okay I'm pretty sure this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever written - but I've got the whole story done - and at least it's not a depressing one! I'm only going to post more if I get some feedback - so please reply if you want it!

"Joey I got the audition!" Dawson exclaims excitedly as I lower my book slightly to look at him.

"That's great Dawson," I say, tossing him a fake smile before returning to my book.

He sighs loudly and I put the book on the couch next to me. "What's up Dawson?"

"So, Jo… I'm really going to need you to help me out with this one. I need you to be my actress. There's an actual budget for this one, so I'll be able to pay you." He looks so excited as he leans into me. "I know you said no before, but this is really really important to me."

I backtrack my memory trying to remember exactly what audition he has gotten and what I had said no to. "Wait… which job is this?" I finally ask, watching the excitement disappear from his face.

"Seriously Joey? The contest I've been talking about for the past month. I've made it to the finals, and now I need to submit my amateur video. I know you said it was disgusting, but I swear it will be classy. I really need you to go with me on this one."

I stare at him for a minute, taking in his serious expression. "You don't mean the porn job do you?"

Shit I really needed to pay more attention when he tells me things.

"Yes!" he yelled in frustration. "Do you even listen when I talk to you? You have to have some idea how important this is to me. And I only have a week to pull it all together, which is why I need you to be my actress."

My phone vibrates for the third time since Dawson entered the room and I pull it from my pocket. I check the display, quickly reading a text from Jen "answer your phone damn it! Call me ASAP!" before turning my attention back to him. "I'm sorry. I think I'm hallucinating. Are you seriously asking me to be in the porno you're filming?"

Dawson takes my phone from my hands, and puts it on the table in front of us. "Joey, it's just to show them what I can do. It won't even be distributed, just viewed by the judges. I need you. This could be my big break."

I took a deep breath as I try to find some words. "How are you going to direct if you're having sex with me?" I finally ask.

He awkwardly smiles at me. "So um… I'm not going to be the one having sex with you."

"Dawson, you've got to be kidding me!" I exclaim, standing up from the couch and staring at him. "And just who do you think I'm going to fuck while you film it?"

And then, before he opens his mouth, I already know what he's going to say. "Pacey. It will be perfect."
