Chapter 11

Joey rummaged through the draw in search of something. Finally he found what he was looking for and pulled the little black book out of the draw, grinning widely. He flipped through the pages then grabbed the phone and dialed the number on the page.

"Hello?" A female voice greeted.

"Hey Rach, how are you?" Joey asked cheerfully.

"Who's this?"

"It's me Joey!" He told her. Rachel gasped.

"Oh my god Joey, hi, oh it's been so long" Rachel said excitedly.

"I know, I tried to keep in contact but you know, busy lives" Joey replied.

"Yeah I know, I'm so glad you called, I've just wanted someone to talk to for so long" Rachel exclaimed.

"There's actually a reason I called. Chandler's back" Joey said excitedly.

"Oh my god are you serious?" Rachel asked in shock.

"Yeah he came over today, said he's in town for business" Joey replied.

"How is he? I mean does he look ok? Where has he been?" Rachel asked in a rush.

She couldn't believe he was back, she had so many things she wanted to say to him.

"Rach?" Rachel just realized she hadn't said anything.

"Oh right sorry, what were you saying?" She asked sheepishly.

"I asked if you were going to come back to New York, I thought it would be great if we could all get together and talk like old times" Joey explained.

"Oh umm… I'll have to ask David, he doesn't want me to go back to New York" Rachel said dully.

"So how are things going with you and David?" Joey asked. Rachel shrugged even though she knew Joey couldn't see her.

"I don't know, at first it was great but now I feel like I can't do anything I want anymore. He gets angry if I do things on my own" Rachel said sadly.

"So why don't you leave him?" Joey questioned.

"And do what? I quit my job to move away with him, they won't take me back now. I have no money and no where to go. I can't go back to my parent's" She told him.

"So come back to New York, you can stay with me, you can find another job and everything will be fine" Joey assured her.

"I wish it was that easy, h.he would find me" She told him nervously.

"Has he done anything to you?" Joey asked sternly. If he had done anything to hurt her Joey swore he would kill him.

"No, no he hasn't done anything…but I'm scared that one day he will. Joe I don't know what to do" Rachel said, her voice cracking.

Joey sighed and thought for a moment.

"Just come back to New York, as long as you're with me no one will touch you, you got that?" Joey stated more calmly now. Rachel sniffed and quickly wiped her tears away.

"Ok I will. Thank you so much Joey" She whispered.

"Hey don't mention it, I'm sure Chandler would love to see you again too" Joey told her softly.

"Yeah same here. I've got to go Joey, I think David's home" Rachel whispered. Joey could hear the slightly scared tone in her voice.

"Ok I'll see you soon yeah?" Joey asked to make sure.

"Yes, he'll be out tonight, I'll catch a flight out then. I'll see you soon sweetie" Rachel whispered and hung up.

Joey stared at the phone in his hands for a moment. He was expecting Rachel to tell him how happy she was and about marriage plans and such. He never expected it to be like that at all.

Later that night Chandler came back to Joey's apartment, carrying the Joey pizza special.

"You remembered" Joey exclaimed happily.

Chandler grinned as they sat down to enjoy their meal. Just like old times he thought. He liked that feeling, like everything was how it was suppose to be. Joey told Chandler about Rachel and how she was on her way back to New York. Chandler was excited about seeing her again although there was that slight fear about what she would think of him after what he had done. He knew already that she wouldn't be mad at him though, she would just be happy that he was back.

"Do you want to stay here tonight? I mean Rach will be here too but I'm sure one of us can share a bed" Joey suggested. Chandler nodded, stuffing the pizza in his mouth.

"Sounds good" He mumbled.

The phone rang and it was Rachel, telling them that she was on her way. The two of them went to the airport to meet her.

At first sight, Rachel dropped her bags and rushed over to them, almost knocking Chandler over as she jumped into his arms.

"Oh god I've missed you so much sweetie" Rachel cried, kissing him on the cheek.

Next she jumped into Joey's embrace, hugging him tightly.

"Thank you so much for letting me stay with you" She muttered.

Joey kissed her on the forehead and smiled warmly in reply. The ride home was very noisy indeed. There was so much to tell from all three of them and so little time. Chandler suggested that they try contact Ross and try to get the whole group together before the end of the week.

"Will she be there too?" Joey asked dryly, referring to Monica.

"It won't be a group without her" Chandler smiled. "You're not still mad at her are you Joe?" He asked. Joey shrugged.

"How can I not be after what she done to you" Joey said defensively.

"That was along time ago, things change" Chandler muttered with a shrug.

"You never told me what happened when you went to see her" Joey stated, suddenly interested.

"You went to see her?" Rachel piped in.

"Yeah, Richard left her. We actually had a really good talk and I'm going to see her again tomorrow" Chandler told them.

"So does she want to get back with you?" Rachel asked.

Chandler shrugged. "I don't know, she was begging me to forgive her, she said she didn't care about getting back together she just wanted my forgiveness" Chandler said with a frown.

"Do you think you two will work it out?" Joey asked. In a way Joey kind of hoped they would. If they got back together then Chandler wouldn't have to leave again.

"I honestly don't know guys. I want to, I really do but I guess I'm just scare of loosing her again" Chandler muttered softly.

"Believe me if you had seen her after you left you would know that she would never even think of leaving you again" Rachel told him. "She was just so depressed for days, she wouldn't talk to anyone"

"Really?" Chandler asked in surprise.

"She loved you Chandler, she let her desperation for commitment get the better of her but she soon realized…a few days too late" Rachel said with a sigh.

Now Chandler's mind was really screaming. He had thought when Monica said she loved him that he was only second prize. Richard left her so might as well have the next guy in line, but that wasn't true, she really loved him. Chandler smiled. He felt like he did when Monica first confessed her love for him. Nervous, excited, scared. He liked that feeling, like he was falling in love all over again.

What will happen next? Only I know haha!...sorry. Please review! Hope you liked it.
