Ross and Rachel's life-Chapter 14
Rated T
Chapter 14
It was now Monday morning, Rachel had left on Saturday. She had only told her mother where she was because she knew her mother didn't like Ross so she wouldn't tell him. She felt she had to tell someone where she was for emergencies and who better than her own mother.
Ross was just walking up the stairs of his apartment building to his apartment; he had been away for the weekend at a seminar. He had been finding it hard to trust Rachel since he had found out about her and Chandler. He now knew how she felt when she found out about Chloe, but even though she had forgiven him this was worse as it was his best friend! When he was married! But what hurt him more was the fact that she had hurt Monica...his sister and apparently Rachel's best friend. He had gone round and Monica had allowed him to have a "talk" with him, though what he had actually done was punch him and twist his arm up his back and hold it there as he threatened him that if he EVER hurt his sister again he would kill him and if he ever so much as looked or touched Rachel again he would hurt him so bad that he would truly regret touching or doing anything again. Chandler could easily get out of Ross's grip and even though Ross was hurting him he let him do it because he felt he was only doing it because he cared about Rachel, his wife and his sister and he somehow felt like he deserved it.
Ross also thought of Ella he didn't understand why he didn't feel like he did with Emma she was his after all and god knows she looked a lot like him. He had noticed Rachel getting annoyed at him for not spending enough time with her, he wanted to be a good father he really did but he was so preoccupied with Rachel's mistrust that he just couldn't look at her she reminded him so much of her, and it hurt it hurt more than he would admit. It was true for Emma he had become more distant with her as well but he had decided that from now on he would be a brilliant father to the both of them.
As Ross pondered this he reached his apartment door and he put the key in the lock and stepped inside.
"Rach, I'm home" he called out.
Silence.
"Rachel" he called again.
Still nothing.
"She must have gone out" Ross thought to himself. But as the hours passed by there was still no sign of her. It had been 4 hours and Ross was getting very worried, he picked up the phone and rang Monica.
Ring, ring, Monica answers. "Hello"
"Mon, hi, it's Ross"
"Oh hi, Ross what's wrong you sound worried?"
"I can't find Rachel, I got back today and she wasn't here, I thought she might just have gone out but it's been 4 hours and she's still not back!"
"Have you tried her cell?" said Monica not really caring where Rachel was but worried about her brother"
"Mon you're a genius!" said Ross as he reached for his cell"
Lol "I know" said Monica matter of fact.
He rang Rachel's number and it rang. Well at least it's on he thought but as it rang a sound of ringing could be heard. Ross followed the sound and it led him straight to his and Rachel's bedroom...there on the neatly made bed was a ringing mobile on top of a piece of paper.
Ross went over to the bed and ended the call on the mobile and picked up the piece of paper and read...
Dear Ross,
By the time you read this i will be gone. I'm sorry i know that i do love you but i cannot live with you or see you anymore. Emma and Ella are with me, I've felt like you are not a good father to Ella, you hardly play with her i can understand you being mad at me but she shouldn't have to suffer for my actions, also i think that now that I'm gone Mon and Chan might be able to patch things up. Another reason i have left was because me and you weren't getting anywhere, we never talked and you left so early that we never got the chance to it's pretty clear where you are there's too much damage done that i don't think things can ever be the same again .I'm sorry Ross please don't come looking for me. I will contact you when I'm ready it could be weeks, months or year's goodbye Ross.
All my love Rachel.
Ross was crying openly now he didn't care who heard.
"Ross are you ok?" asked a now very worried Monica.
"She's gone" was all he could say
"Who Rachel?"
"Yeah she's gone... i drove her away!" Ross cried
"Ross what are you talking about?"
"Mon can i come down their? I need to see you and Chandler?"
"Yeah sure Ross"
"Ok thanks bye sis"
"Bye Ross" said Monica sadly the last time she had seen him this sad was when Rachel broke up with him because he cheated on her with Chloe. She started to think about Rachel "that spoiled bitch! Always hurts him, god sometimes i just HATE her!"
Ross had put the phone down and grabbed his coat and the note and the keys for his car and ran out of the apartment.
Ross had always been a careful driver but today he was driving like Phoebe and the death cab. Thoughts of Rachel filled his head, where could she be As he arrived at Monica and Chandler's he knocked on the door.
Chandler answered Ross seeing him brought all off his anger to the surface.
"Hi Ross, how ar..." but he couldn't finish because Ross had grabbed Chandler and pushed him into the wall and was shouting "where's RACHEL..., WHERE THE HELL IS MY WIFE YOU BASTARD!"Ross screamed spitting in Chandler's face. Chandler was surprised at how strong Ross's grip was but answered calmly
"I don't know Ross" Ross gripping harder and gritting his teeth said through gritted teeth "you do! you do your the reason she's gone if it wasn't for you she would still be here, now WHERE IS SHE!" Chandler getting angry and starting to feel pain in his chest said again "Ross i don't know where she is and it's not all my fault, it's yours too!"
Ross was about ready to kill him when Monica entered.
"Thank god Monica, get you brother off me" said a now worried Chandler he wasn't sure whether she would because they had been on a bumpy patch but was now relieved when Monica ordered her brother to put him down.
Ross complied
"Come in Ross" she said nicely ignoring the lump in the door way that was her husband.
Ross walked in to the now beautifully decorated house, Monica and Chandler sure did a good job of it!
As Ross entered the living room he heard two children squeal
"Uncle Rossy" Erica and Jack Bing now 1 years old each walked over and hugged their uncle
Where's Emma and Ella they asked together they sure had got good at that twin thing but this only reminded him that they were gone which made him cry again.
"Chandler!" Monica called
Chandler stumbled in
Monica looked up at him
"Take the twins upstairs please while i talk to Ross"
"Ok" he replied and went and picked up his son and daughter and took them upstairs. When they were gone Ross handed Monica the letter that Rachel had left him. Monica took it and read it, when she was done she gasped in shock and went straight to Ross and hugged him, "so I'm guessing you two don't know where she is?" said Ross sadly as he hugged her back.
"No sorry Ross i don't but you will find her i know you will"
"Do you know anyone else who may know where she is?"
"Well there's Joey, Phoebe and her family" the minute she said family Ross jumped up
"THAT'S IT her family!" he squealed and ran out of the door. Monica just smiled
He really does love her and probably won't give up till he finds her
She thought to herself.
Ross jumped in his car banging his head in the process
He sped off as fast as he could until he saw and heard a police siren, he pulled over and the police man got out and approached him.
"Sir Do you realise you were going over the national speed limit?" said the policeman.
"Yes sir but you see my girl..."
"I'm not INTRESTED! Now can i see your licence sir?"
Ross got out his licence and handed it to the officer.
The officer checked it then handed it back to Ross and said "well everything looks good, just slow down ok"
"I'm gunna let you off with a warning"
"Oh thank you sir said Ross gratefully
When Ross reached the Greene residence he knocked on the door when the door opened Sandra Greene appeared when she saw Ross she glared at him and slammed the door in his face. Ross wasn't going to give up that fast so he knocked again and once again Sandra Greene appeared she glared "what do you want?" she snapped "Rachel's not here"
Ross slammed the door open not accepting anything that woman said and started shouting RACHEL...RACHELL.
"Ross she's not here just go home give her time to think!"
"NO! Tell me where she is!"
"I...i...can't Ross she made me swear, she's my daughter, I have to have to abide by her wishes"
Ross started to cry again then finely convincing himself that her "time" might not be that long but at the same time not really believing him.
Ross goes to walk out but before he leaves he turns around and shakes his fist in the air saying "I'll be back!"
And then he left.
He arrived home half an hour later tears rolling down his cheeks, he just couldn't believe she was gone he'd lost her again and she had took his daughters, the most precious things to him, her words would haunt him forever.
'Your not a good father to Ella'
"DAM IT!" He cursed punching the wall in his apartment not caring if anyone complaimed. He was going to try and be a good father if only she would have waited. He turned on the radio and listened to the song that played thinking the worse. He longed and would do anything to have Ella in his arms and Emma on his lap with Rachel sat beside him, he missed them so much he couldn't stop the tears from running down his face and he didn't think he ever would. He listened to the words of the song…
You
took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be
around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I
believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's
right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long
gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I
know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who
knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and
just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I
wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When
someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I
guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew
better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah
yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until
we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What
happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long
gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And
time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your
memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My
darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My
darling
Who knew
Who knew
Little did he know that it would be 3 years till he next saw them…
