Troubles chapter 9

Scene Central perk Chandler, Rachel and Ross are there

Ross; No I don't hate you Rach.

Chandler; Well I'm going to let you two alone to talk. He gets up and leaves

Rachel; You don't hate me?

Ross; No I don't hate you. I could never hate you Rachel.

Rachel; Are you sure? Because it sure seemed like you hated me this morning.

Ross; That's because you ad just broken up with me and told me you didn't love me. But I didn't hate you even than . I was just hurt and angry.

Rachel; Are you saying that your not hurt and angry anymore?

Ross; No I'm still hurt and to be honest still a little angry. But I understand why you broke up with me. And you were right it wouldn't have been fair to you or me for us to stay together.

Rachel; So we are going to be ok?

Ross; Yea we will be fine.

Rachel; That's good. Now I just hope Joey and I will be ok.

Ross; You guys will be ok two. I just saw him before I came here and he was really worried about you.

Rachel very happy; He was?

Ross; Yes he was but that doesn't mean anything Rach. I better let you know ahead of time. He did ask Kathy to marry him and she said yes.

Rachel near tears; Oh I see. So to him our kiss really was a mistake.

Ross; You guys kissed? He kissed you?

Rachel; No I kissed him. I mean he kissed me back but he said it was just because he was missing that witch Kathy. And when I tried to kiss him again he wouldn't let me.

Ross; I'm sorry Rachel I know how much it hurts when the person you love doesn't love you.

Rachel; I know you do. And I'm sorry I wish I did love you and not Joey.

Ross; Yea that would make things alot easier for all three of us. Anyway Monica wants to talk to you so let me go call her and have her come down here.

Rachel; Why does she want to talk to me? To tell me what a slut I am again.

Ross; No she feels really bad about that and she wants to tell you she sorry. So I'll go call her.

Rachel; You don't have to call her I can go to her.

Ross; I don't know if you want to do that. Joey was there with Kathy when I left. So they may still be there.

Rachel; Oh god I can't face the happy couple go call her.

Ross goes to call Monica.
