This is an AU fic. I got the idea after watching TOW The Morning After. It takes place right after that episode. Ross and Rachel have broken up and in this Chandler and Monica were already together and the gang knows about them. Hey it's an AU fic plus they're a great couple! Monica is already working at Allesandro's. Joey and Phoebe are both single for now and that's all you really need to know.

Disclaimer: All Friends characters belong to Warner Bros., and NBC. I want to own Chandler! Hell I wouldn't mind owning Joey and Ross either!

Title: A Second Chance For Love

Summery: Ross wants Rachel back, but will she give him a second chance

Rated: PG

Chapter 2: I Hate You But I Love You

Monica watched Rachel mope around all morning. She knew she was hurting but this was Ross she had to forgiver him. Rach, Hun it's almost 11:00 shouldn't you be getting ready to meet Ross for lunch. Rachel stared at her roommate "You read it! You read my letter" she said "Uh yeah so did Chandler when you tossed it you missed the trash" Monica explained "Oh and that gives you the right to read it "she raised her voice a bit "No but you're my best friend and Ross is my brother I want you two to work this out and be happy again I want you two to be like Chandler and me" she smiled

"So you want us to make out on the sofa and keep you up all night with loud sex" Rachel asked "We are not loud" Monica insisted "Oh please Monica, I'm sure Phoebe could hear you from her place" she rolled her eyes. "Well you and Ross weren't exactly quiet I don't even want to know what you do that makes him scream weeeeeee!" Monica claimed. Tears filled Rachel's eyes when she mentioned Ross. "Oh honey I'm sorry me and my big mouth" Monica hugged her "No it…its okay it just hurts Mon every guy I've been with hurt me in some way Barry, Paolo, Chip…bur Ross was the one guy I thought would never hurt me" she started to cry "I love him so much and I…I miss him" she cried "So go to lunch give him second chance" Monica rubbed her back "I…I don't know if I can" she whispered "But you just said you love him and miss him" she pointed out "Yes but I also hate him right now" she said

"I know" she nodded "and I know he hurt you, what he did was horrible but what you two have is so amazing don't throw it away without trying to work things out" she looked at her watch "I have to get to work but just think about it okay its only lunch" she gave her another hug as she left. Rachel sighed Monica was right it was just lunch. She went to her room and changed into a black skirt and her favorite sweater. After applying her makeup and fixing her hair she grabbed her purse and left the apartment.

Rachel checked her watch as she approached Allesandro's. It was almost noon. She opened the door and slowly walked in and looked around spotting Ross sitting alone. She walked over to the table "Rachel" he smiled "You came" She nodded "Yeah but it doesn't mean anything" she sat across from him as the waitress handed her a menu. They ordered and she left. "I'm glad you came Rach" Ross tried to take her hand but she pulled away he sighed sadly "I love you Rachel you mean more to me than anything in this world I never meant to hurt you please believe me" he pleaded "Give me one reason why I should believe you Ross" she asked "No…no tell me why you did it" she said "Why did you sleep with that slut from the copy store was I not pleasing you! Was sex with me not good enough" she screamed

"Uh Rach people are staring" Ross whispered "I don't care" she said "I want to know why you did it" she claimed "It was our anniversary I wanted to be with you but all you seemed to care about was your job I was going to propose last night" he claimed "So you want to know why Rach I thought you'd broken up with me and were screwing Mark!" he yelled "I…I got to go" he tossed his napkin down and fled the restaurant.

Monica who'd been watching them from the kitchen door saw Rachel break down in tears "Matthew I'm taking a break" she told the suchef. She left the kitchen and went to Rachel's table "Rach are you okay" she asked softly. Rachel looked up at her best friend "He… he said he was going to propose last night" she cried "I…I was such a fool" Monica was a bit shocked by what she'd just been told she hated what her brother was doing to her best friend "No you're not Rach, Ross is the fool he let his jealously take over" she hugged her. Ross was going to propose they should have been celebrating an engagement not dealing with break ups and broken hearts.

Chapter 3: Everything Reminds Me Of Him….Rachel tries to get over Ross but everything reminds her of him, maybe she doesn't want to get over him at all…Coming Soon!
