Author's Note: Wrote this really short one-shot just cause, but I also kind of felt like I needed to update. I have a lot to do with school and extracurriculars, so I apologize to you guys for not updating as frequently, but I'll try my best. Title inspired by the song 'Cold As Ice' by Foreigner, because Rachel is behaving coldly towards Ross.
It's like I don't even know her anymore. When I look at her now, I don't see the Rachel I used to see, and it saddens my heart that things may never be the same again. I look at her and I don't recognize her. It's like she's a different person now. I see her laughing at something somebody else said, and I find myself wishing I was still the one making her laugh. Or even making her smile. These days, I don't get so much as a hello from her in the mornings. She's still beautiful as always, but her beauty is directed away from me.
I want to tell her how I feel, but she won't even look at me, let alone talk to me. How did I mess up the most important thing in my life? I'm not Chandler. For a split second our eyes meet, and I try to convey a message with mine, but she doesn't catch on. If she does, she's doing one hell of a good job of hiding it. I feel like I'm screaming but no one can hear me. Sinking, but no one will save me. And I just keep going down, down, down.
I see her face in the distance, but she doesn't see mine, and it hurts to think that the rest of my life will be like this. But then, in a way, it's my own fault. I guess what goes around comes back around.
Just before I go under completely, she turns around to face me one more time. The first time she's spoken to me in weeks. Just two short words, piercing into my soul like a million swords.
"Move on."
Her voice sounds cold, foreign, and she gives me a pitiful look and I feel like she can see right through me. Maybe it's the reality check I need and I'm just not picking up on it. Before I even realize it, she's turning back around to talk to Joey and once again I've lost my only chance to make thing right. If I even could.
Author's Note: Review! Thanks, guys.
