This is a songfic with Ross and Rachel. The song is Misguided Ghosts by Paramore. I hope you like it.

I am going away for awhile

But I'll be back, don't try and follow me

Rachel laid awake watching Ross sleep. The two had just spent many long hours wrapped up in each other. Being with Ross again had made Rachel doubt leaving for Paris but she knew she had to go. She couldn't just stay for Ross.

Rachel repeated that over and over in her head, trying to believe it.

'Cause I'll return as soon as possible

See, I'm trying to find my place

And it might not be here where I feel safe

We all learn to make mistakes and run from them…

Run from them. Rachel was running away from her friends, her love, and everything that she was too comfortable with. Rachel loved her friends and wanted to be with them but they were trapping her into a life she wanted more out of. Rachel didn't want to leave love behind but she was not willing to sacrifice who she was for love.

Rachel didn't want to be cruel but she wanted better. Needed better. For her and her daughter.

With no direction

We'll run from them, from them

With no conviction

'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts

Rachel woke up the next morning in her own bed. She was dreading having to leave but she dreaded the idea of staying more. Rachel dragged herself out of bed and saw Ross talking with Phoebe and Joey. Ross saw her and walked over to her. Joey and Phoebe left the room.

Ross kissed her and they both spoke meaningless words to each other. There was no hold to keep Rachel there anymore. Rachel didn't miss anything about her life because she had never had the chance to.

Rachel needed to miss something. Anything.

Traveling endlessly

Don't need no roads

In fact they follow me

And we just go in circles

"I love you."

Those were the words that Ross spoke to Rachel in the airport. Rachel looked into his pleading eyes. He wanted her to stay.

And Rachel wanted herself to stay just to make Ross happy. But still, Rachel needed to miss him. She needed to have her heart ache for him.

Now I'm told that this is life

And pain is just a simple compromise

So we can get what we want out of it

Would someone care to classify

Our broken hearts and twisted minds

Rachel walked onto the plane feeling so guilty for hurting Ross and feeling even guiltier for hurting herself by leaving him.

She finally missed him. She was finally aching for him.

So I can find someone to rely on

And run to them, to them

Full speed ahead

Rachel was standing in Ross's doorway. "I got off the plane."

Ross turned around and saw his soul mate standing right where she belonged. In his life.

Rachel looked at him looking at her, missing him so much she could barely stand. When Ross rushed over to kiss her, Rachel knew she needed to be with him.

Oh you are not useless

We are just misguided ghosts

Traveling endlessly

The ones we trusted the most

Pushed us far away…

As Rachel was kissing Ross, she knew that he had unintentionally driven her away by just being him. Rachel knew she could run again but Rachel wouldn't. She wanted to be where Ross was always.

With him, everything was the way it was meant to be.

And there's no one road

We should not be the same

But I'm just a ghost

And still they echo me

They echo me in circles

Circles that had finally led Rachel back to Ross forever.

~.~ The end.
