You Don't Know Me Very Well
Ross and Rachel had just returned to their apartment, both in complete and total shock, that something as simple as the ability to see, was being taken away. "Listen", Ross said as they entered the apartment, "I'll understand if you want out". Rachel shot him a funny look and said "Out? Where to"? Ross sighed and said "I'll understand if you want out... with us. If you want to leave, I'll understand". Rachel was furious and said "How dare you, Ross Geller. How dare you even THINK I would even want to leave you, sight or no sight"
"Come on Rachel, try and be realistic. Do you really see yourself taking care of a blind guy", Ross asked as Rachel joined him on the sofa and said "I love you Ross, whether you can see or not, I love you and you're not getting rid of me this easily". Rachel sighed and continued "And yes, I know it will be hard... very hard, but that's what love is all about. You take the good, with the bad, and to think you don't know me well enough by now".
"Wow", Ross said out loud, in complete shock that she would still want to stay with him. To witness and watch him become totally blind, and still want to stay by him. If this was not love, then nothing was, Ross thought to himself. "Ross, it will take a whole lot more than you going blind, to make me walk away... a whole lot more. And if you think I would just walk away, then you don't know me very well", Rachel said as she took his hand, and just sat there with him.
"Come on", Rachel said as she got up, dragging Ross off the sofa. "Where are we going", Ross asked as he followed her out the door and Rachel said they were just going out. She tossed Ross the keys to the car, asking if he felt like driving, which Ross loved to do, and she didn't even complain that he was going well under the speed limit as everybody else was zooming by them. They arrive at the countryside, stopping at a local store for some bread and sandwich meat, before stopping in a meadow filled with flowers.
"You know it's really ironic", Ross said as they both sat down, "I've seen flowers all my life, but this is the first time I actually really see them". Rachel smiled as she opened the bag, and made some sandwiches, as they both lay on the cool grass, watching the clouds as they slowly drift across the sky. "I'm... I'm sorry", Ross stammered as Rachel turned to him, and asked why he was sorry. He sighed and said he was sorry for assuming she would want to leave. Rachel smiled as she kissed Ross, and said "It's going to take a whole lot more than this, Ross". They turn their attention back to the clouds, each one wondering how much longer they had.
"Come on", Rachel said as she raced Ross back to the car, as Ross tossed her the keys as they both got inside. "Where to", Ross asked as Rachel smiled and said "I guess we'll find out, when we get there"
