Joey didn't have many possessions on the island so when it came time to move she found herself at a loss for what to bring. Joey tossed most of the sundresses aside, sure that leaving them would annoy Pacey but not finding it in her to care. When she came to the shirt he'd lent her to sleep in Joey held it close, hugging it and taking in the smells of her first days on the island. She felt as though she'd come so far. In the end, Joey left with little more than the clothes on her back, the jeans and flannel she'd arrived on the island with. With one final glance into the hut Joey left, walking toward the compound and her new home.
Joey walked through the beach slowly, allowing herself to feel the implications of her newest decision. Being on her own, truly on her own, was something that Joey had craved her entire life but today as she moved through the island, Joey realized that her time had finally come.
When she arrived to the compound Joey refrained from any of her usual stops. Instead she walked to the room that had recently been assigned to her on the fifth floor. Joey's eyes opened wide with shock at what was waiting in the room for her. Joey had spent most of her time on the island thinking, sometimes reading, a little drawing but nothing special. Back home she'd left the boy she mistakenly thought she loved to pursue her art, to find herself and all of that had been left behind. But now an easel, canvas paper, oil pants, water colors, brushes, colored pencils and a sketchbook sat by the wall with a simple note saying "For Joey Potter."
She knew in that moment that she was home.
((Joey moves in to the compound and gets her npdp gift all in one! Find her anywhere from Pacey's hut in Green Arrow to the Compound. ST/LT welcome!))
