Hi! I don't really have much to say so I'll just start writing.
(Joey has just asked Phoebe to move back home)
"Oh, Joey. I don't know.." says Phoebe.
"What don't you know?" he asks.
"I don't know if I can live with you again, or trust you, you really hurt me," she says.
"I know I did, and I'm so, so sorry. What if we just lived together...as sort of a trial thing? For like a week, or something?" asks a hopeful Joey.
"That's a good idea, but still...I'm scared," admits Phoebe.
"You don't have to be scared. I love you, and I'll protect you," he says.
"How can you protect me, if you're the one I'm scared of?" she asks, starting to cry.
"I know you're mad at me, but why are you scared of me?" he asks.
"I just...am. You broke my heart, and it hurt, and I'm scared that it's going to happen again. I'm scared that you'll leave me, and I'm scared that I might fall for you again, and you'll just leave me standing alone," Phoebe admits, tearfully.
"You know that I would never do that...again. We've been over this, and I want to spend my life with you. I want to spend the rest of my life making up for what I've put you through," Joey replies.
"I know you do, and I want us to be together, there's a part of me that wants to say 'Ok, I'll move back in with you, and I love you, and we'll be together forever', but then there's this other part saying 'NO! He hurt you, run and never come back!' and I don't know what to do, and it's so confusing, and then there's the trust issue, and oh Joey, it's so hard!" she exclaims.
"It doesn't have to be. Which part are you going to listen to?" asks Joey, biting his lip.
"Both of them." she replies, somberly.
"Oh...I see. So what does that mean-for us?"
"It means...I'll move home for a week, and then see what happens."
"Really?" asks a happy Joey, "You mean it? You'll come home?"
"Yes. But just for this one week. After that, I might stay a bit more, or I might go back to the hotel...we'll see. But Joey, there's just one more thing," Pheebs says.
"What is it?" he asks.
"When I decide I can live with you full-time, I want...no, I need us to get a new apartment, and I really need you to quit you're job."
"My job? No! I can't Pheebs..."
"Then I'm afraid I can never be with you again."
"Why not? What does my job have to do with it? You know how much I love it."
"Joey, just imagine I slept with some guy you had forbidden me to see, and after everything was better, I still worked with him, and saw him everyday, and you didn't know what was happening."
"Oh...I get you're point." Sighing, he adds, "If it means that much to you, I'll find a different job. And we can start looking at new apartments."
"Thanks, Joey. It really means a lot to me. It's just after all this, I want us to start all over again, new apartment and just a clean slate."
"I totally understand," says Joey, embracing Phoebe.
Joey lets Phoebe go and suddenly gets an idea.
"Hey, why don't we go tell everyone the news?" he proposes.
"Sure, Ok. I think Ross and Rachel are at Monica's, so everyone's there!" exclaims Phoebe.
Joey escorts his wife across the hall into Chandler and Monica's apartment. Entering as usual, not bothering to knock, they arrive.
"Hey!" says Chandler, "You two are together?"
"Yep!" replies Joey, cheerily.
"Wh-what happened?" asks a whimpering Rachel.
"I agreed to come back and live with Joey...but for only a week," announces Phoebe.
"That's great, you guys!" congratulates Monica.
"I'm so happy for you," says Ross, drinking a glass of water.
"Yeah...me too. So happy for you," says a less than enthusiastic Rachel, "I've gotta go."
Rachel hastily leaves the apartment leaving Phoebe to wonder what's wrong. On instinct, Pheebs runs after her forlorn friend.
"Rach? What's the matter?" she asks.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine...I just have to go," replies Rachel.
"Oh how come?" asks Phoebe.
"Th-they...um...they need me at work."
"Oh, Ok. Bye, then."
"Bye. Congratulations," says Rachel, sounding extremely upset.
Phoebe watches as her friend quickly leaves, wondering why they needed her at Ralph Lauren on a Sunday.
Rachel quickly walked down the street, feeling terrible.
"Rachel!" she silently scolds herself, "You absolutely cannot feel that way about Joey! He's with you're...you're best friend."
Rachel had secretly had feelings for Joey for about a month, and it was killing her to see him so happy with Phoebe. She knew it was wrong to feel like this, especially since Pheebs was one of her best friends, but she couldn't help it.
"Oh, my god," she thinks, "I have got to stop this!"
After Rachel's sudden departure, the remainder of the gang stays up and celebrates.
"So Pheebs, do you think you'll for sure move back?" asks Monica.
"I don't know, probably will, eventually," says a stand-offish Phoebe.
"Like when, do you think?"
"You know, I don't really want to talk about this now."
"Ok, sorry," apologizes Monica.
Joey was overjoyed with happiness that Phoebe was coming home. Sure, it was only for a week, but he would make sure it was the best week of her life, and that she would never want to leave. Joey quietly left Mon and Chandler's, sitting down in the hallway. He was currently drafting a list of things to do for Phoebe. 1. Make her breakfast everyday. 2. Take her out for nice dinners 3. Make sure she knows I love her 4. Try for the baby thing again 5. Pamper her
Joey is startled when Phoebe enters the hall, too.
"Joey, what're you doing?" she asks.
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go home." he replies.
"Home," she thinks, "It's not home...it never will be."
"It's never going to be the same again," she quietly says to Joey, as she hurriedly gets ready for bed.
"Well...what do you mean?" he asks, dumbfounded that she was suddenly so unhappy.
"You should know by now," Phoebe replies somberly.
Saying a quick goodnight to Joey, Phoebe gets in bed and instantly drifts off to sleep. Funny, the only thing she could think about was Rachel, and how oddly she had acted earlier.
And that's it for now. Not much of a cliffhanger, well not at all, but I couldn't think of one for this chapter. So ok, I hope this chap was better than the last, and so review it and tell me what u think!!!! I'll post the next chapter soon, it won't be more than a week. I'll stop talking now...I'm gonna start babbling. Bye bye!!! ;) :-)
