Chapter 13: The Truth Be Told


Rachel and Ross turned to see Hannah standing there her eyes puffy and red from crying. "Hannah sweeite what do you mean" Rachel asked. "I...I know what happened, why...why she did it aunt Rachel" Hannah whispered. "Why Hannah why did my little girl do this to herself" Ross asked tears filling his eyes again.




Hannah sighed softly. "It...it was my fault uncle Ross" she whimpered looking away. "Honey how is it your fault" Rachel asked She slowly turned to face her aunt and uncle again. "It...it all started the night of uncle Ross's awards dinner Emma, Matthew and I were suppose to go to the carnival together but Emma called and said she couldn't go and told me that Matthew and I should go on with out her" she whispered. "So we did and I...I had so much fun with Matthew that I...I started to see him behind Emma's back" Hannah cried.





Ross and Rachel stared at her in shock. "You...you what" Rachel asked "I was dating Matthew behind Emma's back but Emma she...she found out about us she was furious we had a fight" Hannah whispered. "I...I didn't fall and accidentally stab myself Emma she...she was so mad she stabbed me" Hannah said as tears filled her eyes. "But we had a long talk she forgave me for the whole Matthew thing and I forgave her for stabbing me but she...she saw Matthew come over and thought I was still seeing him that's...that's why she did it" Hannah whispered as her unshed tears finally fell.




Rachel stood there for a minute. She slapped Hannah across the face. Hannah held her hand to her face. No one had ever hit her before "My daughter died because you were going around acting like some little slut!" she screamed.




Monica who had gone to look for Hannah had seen Rachel hit her and heard the words that had been said. "Rachel why in the hell did you just hit my daughter and where do you get off calling her a slut" Monica spat out. "Your daughter is responsible for my baby's death" Rachel cried. "What?! How is it Hannah's fault" Monica asked. "She stole Emma's boyfriend and she had him all in her room and Emma saw it that's how" Ross said. "My daughter doesn't do things like that" Monica yelled. "Oh yes she does she probably learned from you I mean you dated a teenager when you were 26 and lets not forget Richard he was old enough to be your father oh and the doozy of course sleeping with your brother's bestfriend on his wedding day" Rachel yelled




Chandler rounded the corner in time to hear Rachel's little outburst. "What the hell is going on here" Chandler asked. "Oh we're just discussing how your daughter is as big a slut as your wife was" Rachel spat out. Before long the 4 adults were in a full blown argument. Hannah felt terrible like she should be dead not Emma. She hated to see 4 people she loved so much arguing because of her. She turned and ran as fast as her legs could carry her.




Hannah was running so fast she wasn't looking where she was going and ran right into Joey and Phoebe. "Hannah sweeite what's wrong" Phoebe asked when she saw how upset she was. "They...they hate each other, Emma's dead its all my...my fault" Hannah cried. "Honey slow down you're not making any sense" Joey told her. "Emma killed her self because of me because I was seeing Matthew behind her back and she found out" she cried. "My bestfriend is gone and Matthew that's...that's not even his name its Bradley he's not 21 he's 31 married with a daughter I lost my bestfriend over a stupid lying jerk" she cried "And now mom, dad, uncle Ross, and aunt Rachel hate each other" she cried as she collapsed in Phoebe's arms. "It should be me I should be dead not Emma" Hannah sobbed.





"Shh its okay honey" Phoebe whispered as she glanced at Joey. "Your parents aunt and uncle love each other they're just so upset right now" Joey told her. "How...how could I let myself be fooled by...by that jerk" Hannah cried. "You can't help who you fall in love with sweeite I know you never meant for it to happen or for Emma to get hurt because of it" Phoebe said softly. "Pheebs is right honey it happened to your dad and I we fought over this girl Kathy I was dating her and then I found out your dad kissed her we fought for awhile he ended up with her but she hurt him by cheating on him and after that he fell in love with your mom and we were friends again" Joey told her.




Hannah looked at him. "Yeah but neither one of you died because of it uncle Joey" she whimpered. "I...I need some air tell...tell mom and dad I love them and tell uncle Ross and aunt Rachel I'm sorry" she said as she ran towards the double doors heading outside. Joey and Phoebe looked at each other. "We gotta find her before she does something stupid" Phoebe whispered. "I'll go after her Pheebs you go get Mon and Chandler " Joey said. "Okay" Phoebe answered as she headed down the hall.





Hannah sat down on a nearby bench. She broke down in sobs. Her life was a mess. Her bestfriend was dead, Matthew turned out to be the worlds biggest creep and her mom, dad, aunt, and uncle who'd been friends for years and years were fighting because of her. She began to look for something in her purse. She sobbed even harder when she saw the picture of her and Emma with their parents. "Oh God Emma I'm sorry, I'm sorry" she sobbed. She finally found what she was looking for. In her hand was what was left of her pain pills from her stabbing. She emptied the bottle into her hand. She sat there and stared at the pills. She didn't know what to do. She wished Emma was there. "Oh Emma what do I do" she cried as she looked from the pills to the picture.
