and I hope you all enjoy it!! Please review and tell me what you think
afterwards!! Read on.....!
~When All Hope Is Lost~
(we fade in from where we last left off and we see them all in the living room sitting around and talking, some what nervously. Monica and Rachel are blabbing on and on while Chandler and Ross just nod along.)
Monica: Oh my God Rachel...speaking about high school...guess who I ran into a while back?!
Rachel: Who?!
Monica: Some of your stupid cheerleading friends!
Rachel: What.
Monica: Yeah...I actually talked with them for a while...
Rachel: Who?
Monica: Weeelll...there was that Anne girl and then there was Mandy...
(silence filled the room when Rachel glanced over at Ross who looks at Chandler. Monica'sd smile fades away)
Monica: uuhh..uuhh..
Chandler: Anyway!! So Rachel, how has life been? What's been up? You never BOTHERED to write or call...something MUST have been up!! (sarcastically) tell us, PLEASE! We're like DYING to know!
(Rachel stares at Chandler sadly)
Rachel: (sighs) I know you're still mad at me Chandler...it's pretty obvious...and I'm sorry. (Chandler opens his mouth like he's about to say something but then Rachel begins talking again) It's just...life has been SO screwed up...and I thought that if I brought you guys into it...well...yeah. And I knew you guys' lives were just perfect...and I didn't want to ruin it for any of you...just because of me...
(Monica glares at Chandler who's expression softens)
Chandler: Uuhh...I'm sorry Rach...hell, our lives weren't 'perfect'!
Rachel: Riiight...look at you guys...married...happily.
Ross: (coldly) Aren't YOU married too...Rachel?
Rachel: Weelll-yeah, but-
Ross: Do you think MY life is perfectly, or are you ignoring me now?!
Rachel: I-
Ross: Never mind Rachel!! Spare me!! (begins to get up and walk to the door)
(Rachel jumps up from the couch)
Rachel: Ross!! How much does it take for you to notice that I'M SORRY!?!?!
Ross: A HELL LOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU'RE DOING NOW!!
Rachel: you think you're the ONLY one thats been hurting through these past years Ross?!
Ross: NO! I KNOW AS A MATTER OF FACT THAT THESE TWO PEOPLE HERE(points at C&M) HAVE BEEN HURTING TOO!! (pause) YOU COULD HAVE WRITTEN, YOU COULD HAVE CALLED!! CHANDLER IS RIGHT RACHEL!! YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO TELL US THAT YOU WERE OKAY OR...HELL, STILL LIVING!!!
Rachel: Ross...dont you unders-
Ross: No Rachel, I dont. You're not the Rachel Gr-what ever your last name is-I used to know!! Because that Rachel cared more about her friends than YOU do NOW! (looks Rachel up and down) NOW, you're just a selfish person with NO LIFE!!
(with that he spins around and walks out the door, slamming it behind him. Rachel has a few tears in her eyes and she turns to C&M. Chandler is looking at the door and Monica is looking down)
Rachel: I'm sorry guys...(pause. Picks up her purse) I gotta get out of here...goodbye.
(walks out the door)
Monica: Oooh GOD! What is wrong with you GUYS?! (runs out the door after Rachel. Chandler just sits there shaking his head. We fade out as he falls down on his back on the couch)
~~
(it's later on that day and we see Ross walking in Central Park. As he walks, his cell phone begins to ring. He takes it out of his pocket and answers it)
Ross: (sighs) hello?
Chandler's voice: Ross! Where are you?? It's been like 3 hours...
Ross: I'm in the park...
Chandler: (blankly) The park?
Ross: Central Park...
Chandler: What are you doing THERE?
Ross: Walking...thinking...
Chandler: aah...an actors favourite past time...(pause) seriously...what are you doing in the park? Wont you get noticed?
Ross: haven't gotten noticed yet...and if I do, I'm sure most of my fans hate me now...
Chandler: Why?
Ross: The drugs...the drinking...the REHAB.
Chandler: Oh...right. But man...please actually COME back okay?
Ross: (annoyed) What do you expect me to do?
Chandler: Nothing! Anyway...I'm here alone...Monica disappeared along with Rachel...so, well (sarcastically) take your time!
Ross: Chandler...please...just leave me alone for a while!
Chandler: All right then man...just dont do anything stupid like you did befo-(Ross looks down at the phone with an angry face and he clicks the off button, cutting off Chandler and hanging up on him. He runs his hand [the one with the cell phone] through his hair and then looks down at the cell phone as it starts to ring again. Ross looks down at the number of the person calling. He groans and answers it)
Ross: WHAT.
Person: Patience, patience...I'm just calling to check up on you...
Ross: I'm FINE.
Person: How's rehab?
(Ross' eyes go wide)
Ross: uuhh...it's fine.
Person: Okay...well, I'm happy to tell you that we still have fans Ross, but why dont you be careful next time!
Ross: Why are you telling me how to live my life?!
Person: I-
Ross: NO! WHY DOES EVERYBODY KEEP TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO?!?! I HAVE MY OWN LIFE TOO, YOU KNOW!!
Person: Ross...calm down!
Ross: NO! And you know what?! I QUIT!! This whole new life of mine...acting...It has ruined my LIFE!! And I cant go through ONE MORE DAY like this!! IT'S OVER!!
(with that he throws the phone into the lake in front of him, a mad/sad look on his face. Without warning, tears begin to fall, and we fade out.)
~~
(it's later that day, and we fade to this hotel room. We see Rachel sitting on the bed, crying silently. There's a knock at the door and Rachel gets up; drying her tears; and opens up the door. Standing there...is Ross. Rachel looks pretty shocked.)
Ross: rachel...I need to speak to you!
Rachel: Uuh...okay...come in...
(Ross walks into the bedroom seeing it all in a mess)
Rachel: Sorry for the mess...everything has just been so scre-
Ross: It's okay. (pause) Rachel..I'm so-
(a cell phone starts to ring and this time it's Rachel's. We see a cell phone lying on the bed vibrating. Rachel shoots Ross a look and then answers it.)
Rachel: Hello? (pause) What?! What the hell is wrong with you?! I've only been gone for a few days!! I know she needs a mother Chris...GOD! Why do I have to do EVERYTHING?!
(Ross is staring at her kinda confused/shocked)
Rachel: Just tell her I'll be back soon...!! Yes I WILL BE! God Chris...it's only been ONE WEEK! UGH!! FINE! Take care of Jen OKAY? BYE! (hangs up the phone and flips the phone on the bed. She puts her hand up to her head)
Ross: Who was that?
Rachel: Chris.
Ross: Oh. (looks down) What happened? Who's Jen?
Rachel: (sighs) Ross...I haven't exactly been THAT honest with you...
(Ross looks at her confused)
Rachel: Ross...Jen's my daughter.
TO BE CONTINUED......
