Okay, so I decided to update with a short chapter. This is a flashback chapter that will at least clear up any possible confusion from Chapter 2. At this point I have no idea how many chapters there will be if I keep making short updates.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. I'm still willing to take Matthew Perry if anyone wants to give me him. : )
He still remembered the day he had first found out about them.
It the middle of the semester senior year of college. It was a warm spring day, the temperature was above average for that time of the year. Birds were chirping, flowers were blooming, couples were expressing their love on the campus lawns a little more risquély than appropriate for public viewing.
He had generally been in good spirits. He had just found out that he had aced his midterms, and after months of trying, he had finally gotten that pretty blonde in his English class to agree to go on a date with him. Okay so that relationship ended up not lasting very long once he found out she didn't really have all that much going on upstairs, and once he discovered somewhat to his surprise, that being able to hold down an intelligent conversation with his girlfriend apparently mattered to him more so than he wanted to admit. But that's a whole other story, he realized his mind was veering off topic. Back to the matter at hand, he had just landed this hot date, a rare accomplishment it seemed, he was happy.
Life was good. He was about to graduate in a month, and he had landed an internship at The New York Times. It had been a real monumental accomplishment. The competition for the spot had been fierce, but he'd worked hard and had been rewarded.
He had gotten out of class early that day, decided to skip the student union and go straight back to the dorm.
He wasn't prepared for what he was about to face as he opened the door to
his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he noticed his roommate and a woman clearly going at it quite noisily under the sheets in his roommate's bed. He started to turn to leave and get out of their way unnoticed and avoid any further embarrassment for himself.
But unfortunately as it turned out, it was too late. His roommate and the other person had
apparently heard the door creak open and both popped their heads up in the direction the noise came from. It was clear by the look of horror written over their faces that they obviously hadn't been expecting him back so soon. He immediately regretted his decision to skip the student union. If only he could go back in time, change his decision. Life was simpler. Ignorance was bliss.
At first he thought his eyes were deceiving him. It had to be some type of trick. There was no way this could be happening. Not to him. He closed his eyes, counted to three and reopened them. Damn! He wasn't dreaming. They were still there. It was a nightmare. Actually this was far worse than his most terrifying nightmares.
How could this have happened? How? How? How? Why? Why? Why? What were they thinking? Actually scratch that, he preferred not knowing. It was beyond his comprehension. Life was supposed to be good, damn it!
He was mortified. He felt nauseous and was sure he was about to throw up.
His best friend was in the throws of passion with of all people, his own mother!
Some of you correctly guessed that Ross and Nora are the ones getting married! Good going: )
