Between Love and Life

How can love get so complicated? Why do people have to pick between two people? Ross the boy who loved her since High school, Joey the one who had a crush, wanted her for a good time. The answer is easy...Ross, but she doesn't want to hurt Joey.

Rachel: Hey Mon, how did you know chandler was the one for you?

Monica: Well Rach to be honest I don't know, we were drunk, and it happened. I couldn't let him go.

Rachel: Exactly...

Rachel was sitting down on her couch that she and Joey both shared, thinking about the reaction Ross just had. Rachel did deeply care about Joey...but she was indeed again falling for Ross. He was her soul mate, her diamond, and he other half. It was true, they have been through a lot together, but she needed to move on, he had Charlie now, and she had Joey. But was Joey who she really wanted?

Monica: Hello...yeah... Oh my God, is he all right?

Monica gets off the phone with her hand on her head, rubbing it, and tears started to form in her eyes. Rachel noticed her sudden change of expression and went to go sit next to her on the couch.

Rachel was about to ask Monica what was wrong, but decided to let her speak. She could read dread in her best friends eyes.

Monica whimpered at a whisper "Ross was...hit...by a car" Rachel sat frozen. She couldn't say a word. The father of her child, her soul mate…. her Ross could be dead is this what she got for leaving him and trying to move on with a man she didn't love?

"Is he… dead?" Rachel choked on the last word

"No but we better go see I'm soon"

"Okay! We have to go now!"

"The doctors won't let us see him for another 24hours"

"Man, it must be…bad, what do we do?"

'Sweetie there is nothing we CAN do"

Rachel replayed Monica's last sentence in her head. Over and over. Monica got up, and left. She had left the apartment; letting Rachel collect her thoughts. Monica was crying a stream inside but she had to be strong, her question was how do we tell the gang?

Rachel lifted her head out of her hands her face tear stained, and saw Joey waiting for her, the man you she looked at and saw a friend, a mere marriage of something more.
