Meeting Again

Rachel woke up choking on water; she threw up.

"Rachel? Are you ok?" a voice came from the living area "It's Monica" Monica continued

Rachel got out of the bath and wrapped a towel around her, Monica walked in,

"Sweetie are you ok? Were you sick? Are you ill?" Monica asked whist putting her hand on Rachel's shoulder

"I fell asleep," Rachel muttered as she walked into the living area, Monica followed her

"I have some news" Monica said with enthusiasm, Rachel ignored her

"Ross news" Monica said as she sat down next to Rachel; Rachel looked up and turned to Monica

"Really?" Rachel asked; Monica smiled

"He wants to see you today" Monica said holding Rachel's hand; Rachel burst into tears

"What's wrong?" Monica asked looking confused; Rachel hugged Monica sobbing

Rachel stood up and went to her bedroom, he was finally going to take her back, and she couldn't live without him. She picked out an outfit; Black bootleg trousers and a white vest. She then sat down and started her makeup; she slapped on lots of foundation and gold eye shadow and rose lipstick. She chose a handbag and picked out a jacket; which was a fitted black blazer. She looked in the mirror and realized her hair was a mess and wet, she quickly got out her wet 2 straight hair straightners and started to repair the damage.

Rachel walked out of the bedroom and put on some black boots,

"You look fantastic Hun', he wants to see you at the hard rock café in half an hour" Monica said, she gave Rachel a squeeze and went back across the hall

Rachel left the apartment; she walked down the road to the Café she looked inside then looked at her watch; it was 10 to 12, she was 15 minutes early, but still she went inside and waited at a table for two. 10 minutes past and there he was. Ross stepped into the Café, he looked gorgeous, Tanned with a new haircut.

Ross walked up to Rachel's table,

"Hi" Ross said dazed, he sat down.

"Hi…I can't believe it's you" Rachel said half laughing half crying, she went to touch his hand; he pulled away, Rachel looked confused

"I came to say…to say stop bothering me with your letters, the only reply you'll get is this one" Ross said handing over a brown envelope; Rachel opened it up and looked at the papers

"No" She said as her eyes welled up, Ross began to stand up; Rachel stood up sharply

"I won't sign any divorce papers" Rachel slammed the papers down on the table. A tear rolled freely down her cheek.

"Rachel don't make a scene," Ross said looking around

"I'm not, I can't help it if I'm upset because my husband wants to divorce me for no proper reason" Rachel said shaking "I can't even try to live with out you! Come on, look at you…you look fantastic. And look at me, I'm a mess" Rachel said in tears

"Me! The first week was pretty hard yeah but look at you, your husband's left you and you smell fantastic, dress fantastic, and look fantastic you have your new boyfriend, your great" Ross said with anger in his eyes

"Oh I'm not believe me, I have no job because I don't wanna see Gavin ever again, I need you, I can't live… if you leave me now…" Rachel said holding on to Ross' hands, looking into his eyes "If you leave me now…I'll never live another normal day again, please don't…I love you" she continued Ross had tears in his eyes "I loved you too…I don't think I could ever love you as much as I did then again, it would be impossible, I admire you for taking me back but when I realize how much pain I caused you I just think that you should have let me go then…I can't do this now…I need to go" Ross said with heartfelt look on his face. Ross got up and walked towards the door.

Rachel grabbed onto his arm and pulled him around, crying still

"Please don't" Rachel said shaking her head slightly

Ross embraced her; smelling her hair

"Goodbye" he said softly, he walked out of the Café and walked away round the corner

Rachel grabbed her bag and stormed out of the café tears streaming down her cheeks she ran up to her apartment.

Rachel screamed, she went to the bathroom and scrubbed all the make up off, took her clothes off and went to Ross' closet, she looked at the bottom and there was a blue shirt there, she put it on and went to the fridge and brought out a bottle of wine and started drinking.
