Hello everyone! I enjoyed writing my Joey and Phoebe one-shot a lot that I decided to do another one! Except this one is going to be multiple chapters. I hope you like it! :)
Disclaimer: Friends doesn't belong to be, sadly.
Phoebe is sitting on the couch in Monica and Rachel's apartment. She is still on hold for that stupid call that she's been waiting for hours. Or at least, that's what her friends thought. She actually only made that call just so she can have an excuse not to go to Joey's play. She's been deeply in love with him ever since their first kiss where she pretended to be her twin sister; it was the best kiss she's ever had. She never told him how she truly felt because she's worried that it'll ruin their friendship. Plus, she knows Joey isn't the kind of guy who would get into a committed relationship. At least that's what she figured, but when Joey met his co-star, Kate, he started to talk about her a lot and now says that he's falling in love with her. Phoebe just can't believe that he finally fell in love with someone but it isn't her. Why can't he just realize that he belongs with her and not Kate?! Why didn't she just tell him how she truly felt! Gosh, she feels like an idiot! She buries her face in her hands and lets the tears fall down. She's brought out of her thoughts when she hears Rachel come out of the bedroom.
"Pheebs, sweetie. You need to hang up the phone. You've been on hold for too long." Rachel says as she fixes her hair.
"But they said I'm the next caller." Phoebe replies.
"Honey, they said that about an hour ago, Plus, you have to go back to your place and get ready for Joey's play."
"Oh, I don't think I can go to his play. Rachel looks at Phoebe with a confused look.
"Why? He already got you your ticket."
Phoebe sighs as she places the phone on the table. She decides that maybe it's time to come out to someone about her secret love for Joey.
"Alright Rachel, I'm going to tell you something that I haven't told anyone . You've got promise me that you're not going to tell anyone. Especially, not Joey."
"Okay." A confused Rachel takes a seat next to Phoebe.
"So, so the truth is, the reason I don't want to go to Joey's play is because I can't stand to see him kiss that girl. Especially because he's actually in love with her."
"Alright, but why should that stop you from going... Omg! Do you like Joey?" Rachel asks as her eyes are wide.
"Yeah, I do. I'm actually madly in love with him." Phoebe looks down at the floor.
"Oh, my gosh Pheebs! Since when?"
"Ever since our first kiss when I pretended to be Ursula."
"Well, why didn't you ever tell anyone?"
"Because I was scared. Plus, I didn't want risk ruining my friendship with Joey. Also, I always thought Joey was the kind of guy who hates commitment. Until, he mentioned how much he loves that Kate chick!" Tears stream down Phoebe's face again.
Rachel scoots closer and wraps both her arms around Phoebe.
"Aww, Pheebs. You know if makes you feel any better, I don't think Joey's relationship with Kate will last long."
"But what if it does? What if they stay together and get married and have children?" Phoebe breaks down and buries her face in Rachel's chest.
Monica walks in with grocery bags.
"Hey guys! How's it g…. hey, what's matter with Pheebs?" Monica asks becoming worried about one of her close friends and runs over and takes a seat on the other side of Phoebe.
Rachel looks at Phoebe who is still resting her head-on Rachel's shoulders. She's asking with her eyes if she should tell her.
"Sure, go ahead and tell her! It's not like it's ever going to happen between us!" Phoebe cries.
"What's going on?" Monica wonders wrinkling her eyebrows in confusion.
"Phoebe has it bad for Joey." Rachel exposes as she rubs Phoebe's back.
"What! Really?" Monica's eyes are wide.
"Y-yeah. B-but i-it's n-nev-ver g-goi-ing to h-hap-pen. H-he l-loves t-that K-Kate c-chick." Phoebe begins to sobs again.
"Aww Pheebs, it's going be okay." Monica gives her a back hug.
"Look, I'm just not going to go to his play. I think it's better that way." Phoebe manages to calm herself down.
"But don't you want to be there to support him? I mean, he'll be upset if you don't come." Monica mentions as she hands Phoebe a box of tissues from the table.
"I know, but I can't bear seeing him kiss Kate. I know it's just acting but the fact that he actually loves her kills me on the inside. If I go to that play, I'm going to feel miserable and wish that that was me on that stage." Phoebe picks her head up and accepts the tissues.
"I guess we understand, but what are you going to tell Joey?" Rachel questions.
"I don't even know. I think I'm just going to tell him that this phone call is important and I can't afford to hang up." More and more tears stream down Phoebe's face and she continues to use the tissues to wipe them.
Within a minute later, Joey walks in with a huge smile on his face.
"Hey guys, you excited for the p…. hey Pheebs, what's wrong?" Joey quickly becomes concerned with his best friend.
The girls just stare at Joey not knowing what to say.
I hope you enjoy the first chapter! Please Review! :)
