OK, this is just an idea that came to me after reading a few fanfics
How did this happen? I have become a doormat; yep the best way to describe me is a doormat. My friends have even began to treat me that way, I was sitting in Central perk yesterday they all started talking I didn't feel involved at all - sort of a spare wheel. So now I am writing letters to each of them to explain my latest decision, what do they need me for anyway the guy who is only there when needed. They have stopped listening to me and I can't stand it anymore, they have each other and they don't need me any more. I'll start my first letter to Rachel
Dear Rachel,
By now you will have all realised that I am not around. I wonder if it will take hours or days before you check for these letters at my apartment, I guess I will never know. For your part I want you to know that I consider you my best friend, I know that I will miss a lot of important events but I feel that I have to leave. I have no role anymore, I'm not funny, weird or anything but geeky.
I wish things had worked out for us and maybe we could have raised our child together, but you have Joey now and I'm sure that he will be an excellent role model for our child. Monica and Chandler will be there no matter what and Phoebe we be Phoebe until she dies I'm sure, I know that you all will be thinking I'll be back or something the truth is I won't. I don't want to be treated in the way you have all become comfortable with, I can't be the one who is only around when something goes wrong. I WON'T BE A DOORMAT. Tell our baby that I love her/him
I'm almost seeing a different side to myself, this isn't easy but it is helping a lot, my next letter should be to Monica
Dear Mon,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't tell you in person that I was leaving, but it was all a bit sudden. You have to tell Mom and Dad that I will call them soon, tell them I'm sorry that I can't always be the perfect son. I don't want everyone to be proud of me all the time and I don't want to be some sort of son who has achieved something his parents didn't but I will spend the rest of my life regretting that I did!
As well as my sister you are a great friend to Mon, I know that we were never close as kids but I feel that we have made up for that over the years. Try and understand that I have grown away from the group, not by choice but by being pushed out by everyone whether you knew or not. Mr Dependable - well not anymore, you'll have to find someone else to give that label to. Make sure your Niece/Nephew knows who I am, even if I am made to look like a nasty bastard for leaving without telling everyone.
I'm sure that these letters shouldn't be left for them to find but they have to know how unhappy I am. Chandler or Joey?
Dear Joey,
I hope that you are going to be there for Rachel and the baby, if I had to pick anyone to watch over them both I would pick you. I know that you will do your best for them both. Please know that this has nothing to do with you and Rachel as a couple (that would be something I can deal with by myself), this has to do with how everyone sees me in the group. I am the doormat that everyone comes to when something goes wrong, Mon and Chandler were the start of my getting left out.
How long did you know? I found out by accident I didn't know that they were even together until I saw them through my window making out. You and Rachel at least were open about how you feel towards each other; anyway it's just me having a sound off (This letter means that I am Leaving and NOT coming back Joe)
Poor Joe, I know that the last sentence is a bit blunt but it's something I have to do, I am a Bastard
Dear Pheebs,
I bet you didn't see this coming did you? I trust you a lot and I know that out of everyone you will support my decision and you will know not to come looking for me. I know how much you were hurt when Rachel and Joey told everyone about them, write a song about it and forget about it. God I wish I could that but I can't, I can't forget about my child that Rachel is carrying.
I know that you will probably either be the last to get your letter or they will wait for you to come around before opening theirs. Pheebs I'll let into a little secret I don't believe in evolution, God or the big bang in fact I never wanted to be a Doctor of bones or anything else I wanted to be happy and a film director. But who knows maybe Marcel can do that for me. So I, Doctor Ross Geller is leaving New York and maybe even America for pastures new I'll miss who you used to be.
I have to move on to Chandler
Well Chan - Chan Man,
I'm glad you married my Sister, as now I can leave without worrying that she will fall for the wrong guy ( You are the right Guy!) Anyway man I haven't really got much ink left so I guess you'll have to a short letter of thanks and general moans, I have a lot to thank you for, you are a good friend.
I will never forget college and the mess you got me into with that stupid list (poor Rachel). I can't believe I listened to you, now you are about to be an uncle to my baby (I wish I could see it man) Well this pen ain't gonna write forever so I better stop. Bye Man
In truth it's a brand new biro, I knew that if I gushed everything out I would want to stay for them, not for myself and it wouldn't be fair. I turn the stereo on
"Everyone so Blurry and everyone's so fake, Everybody's empty"
I walked over to the window and saw Chandler and Monica fussing over Rach, I stood and watched closely then Joey and Pheebs stroll in with a big cot and Rach is crying. Seeing her cry always breaks my heart even if it's when she is happy.
"Everyone is changing there's no one that is real"
I made sure that all the envelopes were sealed and I left, with a light suitcase and nothing else. The tenants will be there to look around in 3 days; will my friends notice by then?
Well Hate it? Tell me
