A Joey and Rachel Fanfic, not for diehard R & R fans, as I am a diehard
Joey & Rachel fan myself
Destiny
I was fretting last night
Lost out in the cold
Couldn't see the light
Then she opened up the door
I came in from the dark
Fell into her arms
Just in time
Now I know that I
Left the past behind
We'll let it go
You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day
There's a look in her eyes
Makes me feel alright
Lights the perfect sky
That I couldn't see before
That she helped me to find
Now that I've seen her shine
I know I'll never be alone
Cause now I know that I
Have love I can't deny
I won't let it go

Joey is sitting alone in his apartment, in his recliner chair holding Hugsy, staring blankly at the TV screen.
Joey [to no one in particular]: Why did it have to be her? Why did I have to fall in love with the one woman I can't have? Why is life so hard? God, I wish I could just get over her!
He throws down Hugsy seeming to be angry, then you see a single tear run down his cheek as runs to bathroom to splash some cold water on his face.
Joey: Okay, I'm fine, It's going to be okay, I can do this, I can get over her, she's just like any other woman... except....
Interrupted by a knock on the door, he suddenly turns around.
Chandler: Hey Joe! Open up! Joey walks over to the door and unlocks it.
Chandler: Hey man what's up? Do you have a girl in here? I heard you talking so I wasn't sure...plus the door was locked...so....
Joey: No...um...I was just yelling at the TV, there was a Knicks game on and the ref made a bad call
Chandler: Joe, the Knicks game is on tomorrow night... plus you weren't yelling... you sounded kinda upset, are you okay?
Joey: Yea man I'm fine, just feeling a little tired
Chandler: Tired as in sleepy or tired like you're tired of trying to get over Rachel?
Joey: Jeez man how do you do that? You always seem to see right through me!
Joey walks over and gives him a hug. They both walk over and sit down in the recliner chairs.
Chandler: Joe, you're gonna get through this, you won't feel this way forever, soon you'll move on, and find someone else...
Joey: Yea but Chandler, lately I've just been feeling so terrible, like... like I wanna rip my heart out because it hurts so much! I've never felt this way before, I love her so much and its breaking my heart in two that I can't have her. I mean, I'm so used to having most women say yes to me, but now, the one woman who I really want to say yes to me...well, she won't.
Chandler: Wow... she really hurt you didn't she?
Joey: No, its not her fault! Don't blame it on her! You can't choose who you love... I know I didn't, it just kinda happened. One day she's your roommate and good friend Rachel, and next thing you know BAM! You've fallen head over heels in love with her, and she's the most beautiful woman you've ever laid eyes on.
Chandler: Well... why don't you try thinking about some negative characteristics she has?
Joey: Okay, that might work. Hmm... negative characteristics... OH! I KNOW! She made me start drinking these "low calorie" beers, which, let me tell you, do NOT taste like real beer! And, and...DAMMIT CHANDLER THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HER! SHE'S THE PERFECT WOMAN! She's funny, sensitive, kind, you can tell her anything, and she's got those deep blue eyes that you just get lost in every time you look at her...
Chandler: Whoa man, don't get all "sentimental" on me; I can't handle all this deep stuff... I've never seen you like this before.
Joey: Yea...well I've never felt like this before.
Chandler: I know... I'm really sorry about everything Joe, but I kinda have a meeting in 15 minutes, so I've got to leave you, even though I don't like doing that at a time like this...
Joey: No, no its fine, you can go... I'll just stay here and think about stuff...
Chandler: Try to take your mind off Rachel, ok?
Joey: Ok, I'll try, but its not gonna be easy I can tell you that.
Chandler: Yea I know, again I'm really sorry buddy...
Joey: I know... so I'll catch ya later?
Chandler: Yea, anytime you need to talk...
Joey: Yea I know
They both hug and Chandler leaves as you see Joey take a seat at one of the counter stools and look off into the distance, obviously thinking about Rachel.
