Author's Note: Hey everyone, sorry if this is a short ending, but here it is thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed!


The next day I wake up feeling really happy. How did my date with Joey go so well? I know I was hoping for it to go well, but I didn't think it would go as great as it did. Now, I feel like I'm floating - I really like him, maybe too much now. I can't believe I'm falling for one of my best friends.

Joey and I slept in our separate rooms last night, so I get up and head out to the kitchen alone. Joey must still be asleep. I think about sneaking in his room to wake him up, but I decide I want to tell Monica everything first. I spill it all to her. She's shocked, not just from the fact that we've already slept together, but also the romantic date he set up and how obvious it is that I am falling for him.

"Wow, so this might actually be getting serious," she says.

"I know!" I squeal happily.

"So, can I tell Chandler now?" she asks.

I freeze.

"Well, maybe Joey and I should tell everyone... also Chandler might be offended if he doesn't hear it from Joey," I think aloud.

"That's true, I didn't think of that. I just hate keeping this from him, it's been killing me," she whines.

"I know, you know what, I'll talk to Joey today about what we're going to do," I tell her.

"Okay, good," Monica says.

She starts smiling at me.

"What?"

"I just can't believe... you and Joey! I never saw this coming," she notes.

Neither did I, but now I couldn't be happier that it did.


I head back to the apartment to talk to Joey. He is up and eating cereal at the island. He smiles at me when I walk through the door. I can't help, but instantly smile widely back.

I walk over and kiss his sugary lips.

"I really had fun last night," I tell him.

"Me too," he says turning on the stool so his body is facing mine. He hooks his fingers into the pockets of my jeans and pulls me closer. I chuckle as he kisses me again, almost making me forget what I wanted to talk to him about.

"So, I need to talk to you," I tell him. He looks worried for a second.

"It's not bad - just maybe a little scary," I add, which doesn't relax his expression that much.

"Okay shoot," he says, still a bit on edge.

"We need to tell our friends," I state.

He breathes a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank god, I hate keeping secrets, it's been killing me," he responds.

I smile, loving that fact that he didn't want to keep us a secret.

"What?" he questions my sudden smile.

"I'm glad you want to tell everyone," I say.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Well, it makes things pretty official then," I tell him.

"You're right," he starts and then he looks down and suddenly I'm worried for his response.

"I can't wait," he whispers with a grin.

I widen my eyes at him, telling him not to scare me like that. He laughs.


Later, everyone is hanging out at Monica's and we decided we would share our news the next time the whole group is together. Joey and I look at each other after we've been hanging with everyone for a little while.

"Uh, guys Joey and I have some news," I announce. Everyone looks over and I instantly see Monica get excited. Everyone waits.

"Joey and I are... kind of a thing," I say.

Phoebe's mouth hangs open.

"What, really?" Phoebe exclaims excitedly.

"Yeah," Joey smiles and takes my hand in his. I look to Ross nervously and Joey does too when he sees me do this.

"Are you uh, okay with this Ross?" Joey asks nervously.

"Wow... well, I ...this is a shock, I ..." he starts and we let go of each other's hands worried this is about to destroy the group and one of our best friends.

He sees our worry and our hands separate.

"I ... will be okay with it," he tells us.

We still look concerned.

"Really?" Joey asks.

Ross smiles.

"Yes, you two are my best friends, I want you to be happy," he says and we smile.

"This is so cute," Phoebe says.

Monica turns to Chandler.

"Aren't you excited babe?" she questions him.

"Yeah, of course. What about you?" he responds casually.

"Yes of course I just thought you might be a little surprised," Monica points out.

Chandler guilty looks down and then at Joey.

"Actually, Joey told me," he admits and Joey looks at me with an apologetic look.

"You knew?" Monica exclaims shocked.

"Yeah, I wasn't allowed to tell you," Chandler worriedly answers.

"Oh my god, this whole time I was dying keeping this from you!" Monica exclaims.

"Wait, you knew?" Chandler questions her surprised.

They both look at us and we look at each other guilty.

"I had to tell her," I defend.

"I couldn't lie to Chandler," Joey says.

"Hey hey! Why were Ross and I left in the dark?" Phoebe yells insulted.

We all look at her.

"Oh well, we were the most nervous to tell you two, cause you two mean even more to us," Rachel exaggerates although I'm sure she was the most nervous to tell Ross.

Phoebe smiles and looks at Monica and Chandler with a triumphant expression.

"Makes sense," she replies.

"Well, I'm glad everyone knows now, no more secrets," Monica says.

We all hang out for a while and Joey and I even cuddle on the couch, so happy we can finally put our new relationship on display.

I look at Joey and realize I couldn't be happier. Who knew that someone who's been in my life for five years could suddenly make me feel so special, so perfect. Who knows if this is forever, but right now I'm only thinking about being in Joey's arms, surrounded by my friends. I'm so glad he punched that stupid hole in the wall or maybe I never would have saw like I do now. I never would have saw how romantic he is, how loving he is, how handsome he really is. He's perfect and I don't think they'll be any walls dividing us now, he's finally all mine.
