"Wherever You Will Go" By Valerie

This is a Joey and Phoebe fan fiction. It contains Season Eight Finale Spoilers so if you haven't seen it yet by some miracle and don't want it to be ruined I suggest you don't read this. It also contains possible Season Nine Spoilers that might be wrong in the end but I'm not sure about that yet. Also if you don't like Joey and Phoebe I suggest you don't read this. And I also suggest that if you hate those mushy love stories, don't read this either.

Thanks.~~Valerie~~



Wherever You Will Go

~~Joey paced his apartment. He looked at the clock on the wall above the couch. Eleven o'clock. Phoebe had said she would stop by after her date with Cliff. He couldn't believe that a few months ago he helped Phoebe to be with Cliff but in the meantime he was falling in love with her. After what had happened with Rachel he couldn't look Rachel in the face. He was so upset over what had happened. Phoebe didn't leave the apartment ever until he started to feel somewhat better. He started to fall in love with her. A deeper love than he could have ever had for Rachel. He had his back to the door but he heard it open. He swung around. Phoebe was standing in the door with a huge smile on her face~~

Joey: Hey.

Phoebe: Hey.

~~He notices her voice is very dreamy. He gets a pain inside of him. She had a good time. He wanted Phoebe to be happy. He also secretly hoped it wouldn't go well that way maybe he could somehow tell Phoebe he loved her. But from the look on her face the date went better than fine. He gulps and speaks again~~

Joey: How was the date?

~~Phoebe walks over to Joey's counter and sits down on one of the stools. The look on her face at the mention of her date is a huge smile~~

Phoebe: Joey he's so perfect. We have so much in common and oh. Joey I love him.

~~He gives her a painful smile but she doesn't notice. She throws her head back and looks up at the ceiling. She is smiling so much. He never saw her this happy before. How could he tell her he loved her now? He bit back his tongue. He felt a lump forming in his throat. He fell in love with Rachel but what he felt for Phoebe and what he had felt for Rachel were very different. He saw himself spending the rest of his life with Phoebe. He just wished she loved him back.~~



~~Phoebe rolled over in bed and smiled. Normally the noises of the city streets at this hour of the morning made her miserable. But she still had Cliff on her mind. He was so perfect for her. He seemed to have liked her too. She hoped he would ask her out again. She slipped out of bed and walked over to her answering machine in the living room. She frowned. He hadn't called yet. She walked into her bathroom and switched on the shower water. She exited the bathroom and slipped into a pair of shorts and a tank top. She brushed out her hair and let it hang wet on her shoulders. She switched on the radio. Commercials. No they aren't allowed to play now she thought to herself. She looked out the window at the city streets below. Her apartment had a wonderful view of the city. It was beautiful outside. Unlike a normal day in August it wasn't hot and unbearable. The air was a comfortable warm with a breeze. She left the window open and lied down on the couch. The phone rang. Cliff, she thought excitedly~~

Phoebe: (dreamy voice) Hello?

Cliff: Hello Phoebe.

~~She smiles to herself and thinks of her date last night. She swallows and speaks again~~

Phoebe: Hi Cliff.

Cliff: Listen Phoebe I don't think there will be any more dates between us.

~~The smile on her face turns to a look of shock. She covers her mouth but speaks again~~

Phoebe: But why? I thought you had a good time last night.

Cliff: Well I did but I uh. I'm getting transferred to uh, California.

~~Phoebe listens in to the background and hears a woman giggling. She feels a tear slide down her cheek. She quickly wipes it away~~

Phoebe: Oh sure.

~~She slams the phone down. This can't be happening. She and Cliff had such a wonderful time and he slept with another woman just like that. She didn't want to cry over it. The commercials on the radio ended and the DJ started talking before playing the next song. She heard someone knock on the door. She got up and opened it. Joey was standing there~~

Phoebe: Joey? What are you doing here?

Joey: Well I was bored and no one is home and Monica and Chandler's.

Phoebe: Oh.

~~She moved out of the way of the door and let Joey in. She sat down in the chair. Joey looked at her. Her eyes were very glassy~~

Joey: Is everything ok?

Phoebe: Cliff and I aren't going to see each other again.

~~Joey walked over to Phoebe and hugged her~~

Joey: Phoebe I'm so sorry.

Phoebe: Stupid. How could I have been so stupid to think that after one date I fell in love?

~~Joey stops hugging her and looks at her, into her eyes~~

Joey: Because it's just that easy to fall in love with someone.

~~Music begins to play on the radio. A song entitled "Wherever You Will Go"~~

So lately Been wondering Who will be there to take my place? When I'm gone You'll need love To light the shadows on your face

And if a great wave shall fall And fall upon us all In between the sand and stone Could you make it on your own?

If I could Then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high Or down low I'll go wherever you will go

~~Joey pulls Phoebe close to him. He gave it away. She knows now. But she isn't trying to resist him.~~

And maybe I'll find out A way to make it back someday To watch you To guide you Through the darkest of your days

And if a great wave shall fall And fall upon us all Well then I hope there's someone out there who Can bring me back to you

If I could Then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high Or down low I'll go wherever you will go

~~Why hadn't she felt like this around Joey before? She never loved him like a boyfriend. But suddenly all that seemed to change in her head~~

Runaway with my heart Runaway with my hope Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how My life and love might still go on In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could Then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high Or down low I'll go wherever you will go

~~Joey kisses her passionately. They had never felt this way before about each other. But it was just that easy to fall in love.~~

If I could turn back time I'll go wherever you will go If I could make you mine I'll go wherever you will go I'll go wherever you will go
