~Where the Heart Is~
Fifteen-year-old Rachel Greene walked silently through the darkening forest, to her favourite spot in the woods behind her house-her home; which she would be leaving the next day. It was the last night she would be spending here in one of the places she actually could call home. North Carolina. Three years ago, her father had gotten 'the call' and they all knew what was going to happen. She had been moving around the country for practically her whole life, but she still hadn't gotten used to it. She hardly had friends, and she almost never fit in...except for here. Here she had found the meaning of a true friendship you could have with a person.
*white flash*
(we see Rachel and this girl sitting side by side on a bridge, their feet dangling just above the water)
Girl(caroline): How does it feel to always move around?
Rachel: It's terrible.its like you never really have time to make friends and settle down.
Caroline: I've always wanted to move and get out of this town.
Rachel: Well Caro, if you were to experience this whole thing.you would regret saying that.
(pause)
Caroline: Do you think you're going to move again someday?
Rachel: I-I-I really don't know.but I hope not.
Caroline: Me neither.I don't want to lose you.you're my best friend.
Rachel: You're my best friend too Caroline.and I promise you-I'm never going to leave you OR north Carolina.I promise.
*white flash*
The promise had been broken.

The next day, Rachel woke up to a bare room. All her things had been packed away a few days back, and had been brought over to her 'new home', New York. After Rachel had gotten dressed and ready, she walked downstairs and was met by her best friend Caroline.
Caroline: Morning Rachel.(her eyes were all read and her voice was choked up, so Rachel assumed she had been crying)
[Rachel grabbed something little to eat and then she and Caroline went out to her garden and sat back-to-back under a huge weeping willow, which had been their favourite place to just sit and talk.]
Caroline: I cant believe you're actually leaving today! Oh God, I don't WANT to believe it!!
Rachel: I KNOW.this totally sucks! I don't even WANT to go to stinking New York!
Caroline: But think about it though.NYC is pretty cool.
Rachel: I wont even be living right in the city!
(silence)
Caroline: Just remember to keep in touch.okay?
(from inside the house we hear someone call 'RACHEL, we're leaving!!!')
(Rachel and Caroline get up slowly and face each other)
Rachel: (whispers) I'm sorry Caroline.
Caroline: (sort of confused) For what?
Rachel: For breaking my promise.I promised you I would never leave.remember?
Caroline: (hugs her) Oh Rach!! It's not YOUR fault you're moving! Don't apologize for that!(laughs a bit and breaks the hug)
(they stare at each other)
Rachel: I'm going to miss you Caro.you're my best friend.and you always will be.I'll never forget you.
Caroline: (eyes filling up with tears) You'll always be my best friend too.I love you.
(fades out as they hug)
~~~
(fade in again and we see Rachel sitting in a car and looking out the window)
As our car made its way out of the town we had been living in for 3 years, tears began to fall. I didn't want to leave.it was unfair. I had always promised myself that I would never see this day come.but here it was, happening right now. As I looked up at the sun, still slowly rising higher, I wondered if I would ever see this place again-see Caroline again. How would life in New York be? Would I have any friends? And would I ever fit in?
As I looked at the highway ahead of us, tears began to fall harder, and everything became a blur. Goodbye North Carolina.goodbye Caroline.
Hello New York.and hello new life.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Weellll.that was the first part! I hope you like it so far.the next parts will be a bit more interesting!! The other friends will come in later.okay? Oh, but one warning.the characters are not exactly going to be 'themselves' I'll still try to make Chandler , Chandler or Ross, Ross.but as you can see, Rachel isn't one of those popular head cheerleader type people..okay?? Hope you all wont mind!! Now do me a favor and review.(nicely please) I'll have the next part up soon!! BYAZ! XXOO!
