Hey everybody! I'm sorry it's been a while since I've updated this...! I've
been kinda busy...but anyway...here it is...and I hope you like it! If you
do...please take some time to review afterwards! Here goes: [just to
remind ya, THIS is the sequel of THE STORY OF THEIR PAST]
~When All Hope is Lost~
It has been two weeks since Ross let Rachel walk away from him at the restaurant...and he had gone from slight happiness to depression yet again. He was now spending most of his time at Chandler and Monica's, and was slowly getting closer to them again. [we fade in and see Ross sitting on the railing of the balcony...]
*A/N...okay, I know that railing part sounded weird...and well, dangerous...but let me explain what I mean. Ya know at C&M's apartment out on the balcony, it's like surrounded by the brick wall thingy right? Well Ross is sitting on the right corner, leaning against the wall and sitting on top of it....you get it?? Or do I have to like draw a pic or sumtin...haha!
(Ross is sitting there, looking upwards at the sky. Suddenly Chandler comes out onto the balcony too)
Chandler: You again...out here! What is this now, your second home?!
Ross: (smiles) Just thinking again...(pause) where do you think she is right now?
Chandler: Weelll...if she was wise, and if I was her, right after I saw your face I would have flown out right away...
(Ross shoots him a look and Chandler laughs a bit)
Chandler: (sighs) I dont know...some where around here I guess...
Ross: Hhmm...yeah...I wonder if we'll ever see HER again.
Chandler: Maybe, maybe.
(they can hear the phone ringing softly from inside, but they dont bother to go in. After a while Monica come into the living room, looks at them, glares at them and picks up the phone)
Chandler: Hey ross...get down from there...it's dangerous...
Ross: What?? Now you're all-
Chandler: Monica.
Ross: Aahh...
(suddenly they hear Monica shriek and they run over to the window to climb in. Monica is hopping up and down smiling)
Monica: rach, Rach, RACH!! I KNEW you would come to your senses!! I KNEW you would track us down!! (pause) DUUUHH!!
(Chandler and Ross plop down on the couch watching Monica happily bouncing up and down)
Ross: (to Chandler, whispers) Rachel? SHE actually called?
Chandler: (gestures at Monica, a smile on his face) I guess so...
~~
(a few minutes later, Monica hangs up the phone)
Monica: (all giddy) THAT WAS RACHEL!
Chandler: (sarcastic)Joy!
Ross: (bored/sad) Yah...
Monica: Guys...SHE was actually the one that called!! And the said she was SORRY! She wants to go out to lunch...I gotta go get ready!! You coming?
(Chandler and Ross look at each other)
Ross: (sighs) I'll pass...I've got some stuff to do...
Monica: (confused) Like what?
Ross: Like feel sorry for myself...and um, drown in self pity...ta!
(he gets up and walks into the spare room which is now like practically his room)
Chandler: Yeah...I think I'll stay with him...just in case he like-
Monica: (sighs) Chandler...just come...come on!
Chandler: It's okay! I'll stay with Ross! (follows after Ross and walks into his rooma dn shuts the door)
Monica: (to herself) Strange...
~~
(later on at some cute little restaurant along the road, we see Monica approaching this table where we see Rachel)
Monica: Rach!!
Rachel: (looks up from the menu) Hey Mon!
(they sit down)
Rachel: (nervously) Sooo...where are Chandler and....Ross?
Monica: Oh...they didn't come...they uh had to do something...
Rachel: What?
Monica: Actually...they didn't feel like coming out to lunch...
Rachel: (kinda disappointed) Oh...okay. (pause, there's an awkward silence) Sooo...Mon, again, I'm so sorry for what I did at the restaurant...
Monica: Oh come on...you hardly did anything anyway...
Rachel: And I'm sorry I never really bothered to contact you and Chandler...it's just...I thought that my life was so perfect...and I only started thinking about you guys when life started turning bad...(pause) I'm so selfish.
Monica: No Rach...it doesn't matter anymore...that's the past...
Rachel: Yeah...but still. (pause) Anyway...how's Ross doing? And Chandler? I only spoke to Ross...uh...briefly at the restaurant...
Monica: Well, Chandler is doing fine...but Ross-he's been having those up and down days...you know, we can never figure out what his mood will be the next day or something...sometimes he's just down in the dumps, and sometimes he cant stop smiling.
Rachel: Girlfriend?
Monica: Girlfriend? No way. To tell the truth...he never really had time for anybody...that's what led-I dont think I should be the one telling you this...sorry.
Rachel: Oh...okay. (looks down)
Monica: Why dont you try talking to him?
Rachel: I dont know...I think he hates me.
Monica: Hates you? Rach...why do you keep thinking this kind of stuff...?
Rachel: To me it's just so obvious...especially living with my husband...
Monica: What does he say to you Rachel?
Rachel: What...when he's mad?
(Monica nods)
Rachel: Well...everything that hurts me...(pause) one thing he always uses on me is that I dont have ANY friends...and if I did, they all HATED me deep down inside. So then my head when to you guys...and I was just like... 'he's right...my friends must hate me'.
Monica: We-I-I never hated you Rachel...every single day I would think 'what has happened to Rachel? How is she doing?' I would wish that your life was doing fine...and that everything was perfect...I thought it was, because that meant you never had time for us. You never called or anything anyway...
Rachel: I'm sorry Monica...if I could take back all these horrible years-I definitely would.
Monica: Yeah...well...you can't...so I guess we could just try to move on...
Rachel: (sighs) I guess so. (looks down)
Monica: Hey Rach? (Rachel looks up) Even if you haven't been around much...and you really never tried to contact me or anything...I've missed you.
Rachel: I've missed you too Monica...
~~
(we fade in again and see R&M walking over to the door of C&M's apartment. Monica opens the door and we see Ross and Chandler jumping up and down on the couch watching a baseball game and cheering very loudly. There are beer cans and coke cans all over the coffee table along with bags of chips and other stuff)
Monica: OH MY GOD!! MY LIVING ROOM!!
(Chandler and Ross turn around and when they see Rachel and Monica there- Rach with a small smile on her face and Monica with a un-definable look on her face)
Chandler: Uh...hey Mon...
Ross: Um...Look, the Yankees are winning?
(Rachel lets out a giggle and Chandler and Ross look at her)
Rachel: Uh...hey guys.
Chandler/Ross: Rachel.
Monica: (sighs) Yeaah...Rachel...(pause) You guys better clean up that mess!!
(Chandler just nods while Ross keeps staring at Rachel)
(there's this big tension in the room)
Monica: Uuhh...anybody want some coffee?
Everybody[except Monica]: (trying to break tension) Yah.../sure.../Ya-huh!
Monica: ookay!
TO BE CONTINUED...
Heehee...Sorry...I kind of ran out of ideas right there at the end! I was just like...OH GOD, GOTTA END THIS!! Anyway...that's all I can think of....please...if you want me to continue...please REVIEW and tell me something GOOD or maybe even give me some suggestions of how you want me to get R&R together?? I dont have any ideas yet...argh! So if you want them together...better give me some GOOD ideas! Anyway...thats all [for now] folks!! REVIEW and BYEBYE!!
