~~~Overcoming the lonelyness - Prologue~~~
"Come on, you promised!" said 15 years old Rachel Green to her father over the phone "you promised you'd be here for my birthday" she had tears in her eyes. It had been more than two years since the last time she had seen him and being daddy's little girl as she always had been made her missed him even more. Plus, her relationship with her mother was everyday worst, both couldn't stand each other. Rachel had always blamed her for the absence of her father and Sandra thought her oldest daughter's behavior was not appropiate for a fifteen years old lady. "I'm sorry princess, I've got a big important meeting the day after, and I can't miss that one. Specially if you want me to keep on paying those enormous credit cards bills I get every moth" replied her father with a sweet tone in his voice. He didn't want to let his baby down again, but this time ther was no other way out "It's ok... maybe next year" replied Rachel really sad... she wanted to be with his daddy more than anything in the world, but being on a whole different country made it a lot harder. After her parents split up five years ago, Sandra took her three daughters with her to London, where they had been living ever since, and although her two younger sister were already used to live there she never felt that place like home. She missed America, she missed her daddy, she missed the life she used to have when she was a little girl. But above all things, she missed feeling love. "I promise I'll fly over there as soon as I can" answerent confident Leonard "Yeah right" "Hey young lady... I'm not lying to you... I won't let you down this time... I promise" he reasured her "you know what... I have a better idea... would you like to come here and spend the summer with me?" "Are you serious?" asked Rachel with a huge smile on her face, filled with illusion "I would love to go there... I barely remember New York anyway, and I'm dying to see you" "Ok, but you have to convince your mother and you can come with your sisters if you want" "Do I really have to??" complained Rachel, her two little sisters were really annoying. She wouldn't be able to enjoy her father's comany if they were there, and the whole trip would be a torture "Just if you want princess" Leonard loved his 3 daughter, but there was something special between him and Rachel, he felt more attached to her than to Amy or little Jill, maybe because he got to enjoy her more when he and Sandra were together. They spoke to each other everyday over the phone and always was trying to please her. Hearing the happyness on his daughter's voice had made his day. He surely wanted to have her there, if it was up to him he would have there to spoil her little princess all the time, but he knew Sandra would never allow that "Talk to your mother and call me back... I'll be waiting for your call, alright sweetheart?" "Yes daddy... I'll go talk to her right now... bye bye!" Rachel almost yelled at the phone before hanging on. She was so happy... she was going to see her father again and the best thing was she would be going back to her country, to her home, to the place where she truly belonged.
"MOM!!" called Rachel her mother, who was on the second floor of their house, as she ran upstairs. "MOM!!" she kept screaming. "What?... what happened?" asked Sandra emerging from her bedroom "Mom... can I... can I... can I" tried to mutter Rachel recovering her breath "can I go to New York this summer?" "What? Are you insane??" said Sandra looking at her daughter with her eyes wide open "Why not?" "And how do you plan to get there?? All by yourself??" "Well... yeah... I mean... it would be only for the plane ride anyway, because daddy will be waiting for me at the airport when I arrive"
Sandra laugh. Her ex-husband had been promising things to their daughters ever since they split up and yet he kept on doing it. Sure, he wasn't the one dealing with the disapointed look and the untolerable behavior after he let them down. Her other two daughters had stop believing in her father already, but for some reason Rachel still didn't give up on her father "Mom... he just said..." "Yes, I'm sure he did darling, just like he told you he was going to come for your birthday" "He... he... can't... he has a meeting he can't miss" "Aaaah... always meetings are more important that his family... I see he hasn't changed a bit" "Come on mom... that's not what I'm talking to you about" Rachel looked at her mother begging her to say yes "Rachel, I don't want you to go to New York" replied Sandra after a long pause as she thought about all the pros and cons of her daughter's idea "Why not?" yelled Rachel almost in tears "Because is a dangerous city for a young lady like you" replied Sandra before turning around, she couldn't stand the look on Rachel's face "What a lot of crap!! Why don't you just tell me the truth? Why don't you just accept you don't want me to see my father?" "That's not truth and you know it... I just... I don't want you to go there... that's all... I have my reasons... I am your mother and I know why I'm telling you this" "Thank you very much mom" replied sarcastically Rachel "you just ruined my life". She stormed out of her mother's bedroom slamming the door before entering her room, where she started to cry. She was going to go to New York anyway with or without her mother's approval... she belonged there, her future was there and she knew it, she felt it, and it didn't matter how many things got in her way, she was going to do it.
There was a knock on the door. Rachel knew who it was "Jill, leave me alone!" "I'm not Jill" said Sandra opening slightly the door "I'm not talking to you" "Rachel, please... you have to trust me... I know my decisions don't make much sense for you now, but they will someday" "Great answer mom..." "Rachel Karen Green... stop it!" "I just don't understand you... I mean... going to New York would make me really, really happy, and you know it. Do you hate me so much that you don't want to see me happy?" "Don't you say that ever again!!... I don't hate you... how could I hate you if you are my daughter. I love you and your sisters more than anything in my life" Sandra also had tears in her eyes, she couldn't believe her own daughter thought she hated her, how could she? Was she really being such a bad mother? "Then what is it?" "I... I... I don't want your father to let you down again... I've seen that dissapointed look in your face so many times, I don't wanna see it again, not with this" "But he won't mom... he said I had to call him as soon as I talked to you... I'm sure he's not lying this time"
Sandra looked at her oldest daughter for a while, she hadn't realized before how beautiful she was, she wasn't a little girl anymore, and she had made a desicion. It was time to let her baby fly with her own wings, it was time to let her make her own mistakes. "Ok, you can go... but just for holidays... you can't stay any longer... you have to be here in September to start school... deal?" "DEAL!!" yelled smiling Rachel before running downstairs to call her dad. She would be going to New York, finally. Her life was about to change, she knew it.
*~*
Rachel sat on the sit by the window. She hated flying. It made her really nervous. And this was going to be a long trip, almost 8 hours acording to her mother. But it was ok, everything was worth it, she would be seeing her father soon and that was all that matters. "I would prefer to make this trip on bus anyway" she said to herself "I know, me too... and I bet it would be fun to watch everthing under the sea by the bus window. My brother says it's impossible though... he's a real pain in the as$" said a kind of overweight girl sitted on Rachel's side. She hadn't seen her or noticed her precense, so when the girl talked she jumped out of fear "Sorry... I scare ya'?" "No... it's... it's ok... I didn't.... I didn't see you there and I was kind of in a whole different word... I'm nervous" replied Rachel, not sure why she was been so talkative with a girl she didn't know "I'm Monica by the way.... Monica Geller" said the girl extending her hand for Rachel to hold "Rachel Green" replied Rachel shaking Monica's hand "So Rachel.... where are you going? Are you traveling by yourself?" "Uhmmm yeah... I'm going to see my dad... he's in New York" "Great... my brother and I are going to New York too!! We just came to London because my geek brother won a history comptetion or something like that... he's a big nerd" said Monica winking. Rachel laugh, Monica seemed to be a great girl, nothing like the friends she had back at home, they were all as skinny as models and very very shallow. The only thing they could talk about were guys and clothes, Rachel constantly wondered if they were capable thinking anything else or if their brains had passed away for the lack of use. "So you are here with your brother then?" she asked to her new found friend "Yeah, but the wet-head is in the restroom. He really hates flying. His face turns purple and then green, is very funny" Both girls laugh "I bet it is" replied Rachel
"Ok Mon shut up" said a guy coming from behind the sits "I was just a bit ditzy" "But we havent even started to move" laugh even more Monica looking at Rachel with an 'I told you so' look "She's Rachel by the way... she's also going to New York. This is Ross... my geek brother" "Hi" said Ross smiling shyly. Her sister's new friend certanly was pretty he thought "Hi" replied Rachel. She didn't spect Ross to look the way he did, she was waiting for the tipical nerdy guy you see on tv shows, but instead Ross was really handsome, kind of sexy on a cute way she thought "Would you please stop staring at my friend like that Ross? Your eyes are popping out your head!" Ross blushed and looked away "shut up Monica!" "So... where in New York will you be staying Rach... can I call you Rach right?" "yes of course... and I have no idea, at my father's place I guess. But I really don't know where is that" "It's ok, I hope is not too far away from us. We will be at our grandma's in 'The Village'... well, I'll be staying there for the summer, wet-head here is staying for the whole year. He's starting college" "Really? College? That's great!" "Yeah, I'm really excited" "He wants to be a dino-man" laugh Monica "A dino-man?" asked Rachel confused "That's the easy word my retarded little sister uses to say 'paleontologist'. I want to be a paleontologist" "Well... dino-man is a much easier word... i think i'll go with that one too" joked Rachel and the three of them happyly laugh, they were so into the conversation that not Rachel or Ross felt the plane was starting to fly as their lifes started to change.
