Gone for the Moment - chapter four

ooooo

"Hey, man." Joey said, poking his head around Chandler's bedroom door.

"Hey, buddy, what's up?" Chandler replied, looking up from behind his notebook.

"I was gonna order pizza, the Joey Special. Are you in?" Joey asked hopefully, stepping a little more into the room.

"Ah..sure." Chandler replied, one last time wouldn't hurt.

"Awesome! I'll come get you when it's here!" Joey bounced happily out of the room and shut the door behind him.

ooooo

"So I got all my clothes in my arms, except my boxers, which are still on me, and I'm just bombin' it down the hallway with this chick gainin' on me. Then out of nowhere, this guy opens his door and she just slams into it, knockin' herself out cold!" Joey exclaimed over the crust filled box of pizza.

"I go back and stand over her and, after deciding she's not wakin' up anytime soon, I carry her back to her apartment. I lay her down on the couch and then, out of nowhere, her roomate just pounces on me, kissin' me anywhere she can get. So the next morning, I wake up and the girl I went on the date with comes in the room and finds us in bed together, and back down the hallway I went. I didn't care if she was hit by an 18-wheeler, I wasn't goin' back for anything." Joey laughed and threw another crust down into the box.

"Well, don't ever let anybody tell you you have a boring life, Joe." Chandler said, also throwing his crust down into the box.

Joey glanced down at his watch and sprang out of his chair. "Whoa! I got a date to get to!" He walked to the coat rack to grab his jacket and keys off the fooseball table. "Hey, it was nice spending time with you again."

"Yea, it was. You better get going. Have fun." Chandler waved as Joey exited the apartment and started cleaning up the boxes.

After returning from the trash chute he took in the view of his apartment from the door. He took a stroll around, running his hand along the wall and lingering in certain spots, like where the fooseball table stood and the spackle covered wall.

A tear rolled down his cheek and he hopelessly whiped away with his sleeve on the way to his room.

Ok, sorry it took a day longer to get this one up and sorry it's so incredibly short, but the next one might take even longer. On Saturday morning, my computer decided to go bizerk and just stop working, so we had to reinstal windows and now the whole story is gone, so I'm rewriting everything. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me before, and I should be getting smarter and saving it to CDs and disks and whatnot, but I don't, because I'm stupid like that. Thanks for all the reviews though! They really motivate me to keep on writing the story, and now I'm gonna need all the motivation I can get.

For those who don't like people that whine about not getting a lot of reviews, stop yelling at them. You don't know what it's like to work your ass off writing a story and then not know what people are thinking about it. So if you have something to say about it, do everybody a favor and keep it to yourself.

Thanks for reading, please review!
