P.S. sorry about Joey (you'll see).My grammar isn't always great. I'm a freshmen, be kind. If you have probs w/ the one-a-week thing. Tough. I have marching band and/or JROTC orienteering Mon-Thurs. so I march at games are on Friday. I suffer a tremendous amount of stress and occasional lack of sleep.

~*~*~Chapter 2~*~*~

"Dammit, Chandler, will you shut up and listen!?!?!?" Ross was getting frustrated with Chandler. After he'd woken up early, when the girls were still asleep, he went to the guy's apartment. Ross had been hoping to talk to Chandler about the whole Mary thing, but Chandler would not shut up.

"Sorry, Ross. God, what crawled up yours and died?"

"Not me, my wife. Something's wrong, Chandler."

"Mary? What? Is she okay?"

"Oh, oh, oh, she's fine. Fine, with Joey!" (A/N, bear with me, I couldn't think of someone else.)

"What? I still don't follow. What does Joey have to do with this?"

"What does Joey ever have to do with women?"

"Oh my god! Ross, no?"

"Yes."

"Man, I'm sorry."

"Look, I'm gonna go."

"No, hey wanna……………………………….................................talk?"

Ross had walked out. He didn't wanna see anyone. But at the same time, he shouldn't shake the feeling that he wanted to talk to Rachel. He shook his head. She wouldn't talk to him. He couldn't understand why. HE thought she had moved on. She had, hadn't she?

Ross didn't notice that he had walked into the girl's and proceeded to pour a cup of coffee. He didn't see the girls (all of them, like Phoebe) hunched over the table in deep conversation when he walked in. He finally noticed them all looking up at him with suspicion. "What, is coffee illegal?"

Monica exchanged glances with the other girls, "No, it's just that we were busy."

"Fine," he slammed his cup onto the counter, causing coffee to slash over the side, "What is it with women and 'business'?"

Phoebe spoke up, "Ross, you look like hell. What on earth was that whole 'business' thing about?"

"It just always seems like women are busy with other people, like Joey." he spat the last word as if it were pure anathema.

"Huh?"

"Oh, now you're interested. Well, if you must know, Mary cheated on me…with Joey!"

"Oh, Ross, I'm sorry."

"No don't be. It wasn't you guys.

The girls ALL got up and engulfed him in one big hug. He started to cry and Phoebe got some tissues, and the girls started crying with him, when Chandler came in. He came over and they all started comforting Ross, when Joey and Mary came in.
