She's now 3 hours late, I thought starting to get very worried, what if he was right. Maybe the person who called me gay was right. JOEY. Maybe JOEY was right. Maybe we weren't the best couple in the world. she has stood me up so many times.
I grabbed my phone of the table, and started typing in 'hi Lisa, I'm really sorry but I don't think this is working out, I hope we can stay friends, but just friends.'
I selected the contact, Lisa Wood, and was about to press send then he rang, Joey rang. I hesitated not to answer but I realised, Joey never uses his phone so if he has rang he has rang for an important reason. I answered.
Joey-Chandler I'm sorry what happened today, we need to talk.
Chandler-its ok. I think I over reacted. Have you heard from Lisa I'm panicking like mad.
Joey-that's why I rang..
Chandler-oh my-oh my god. Is she okay.
Joey-yes she is okay, its you who might not be.
Chandler-what do you mean I wont be okay?
Joey-just let me come around to your apartment and talk to you.
Chandler-okay, just hurry.
It took Joey about 5 minutes to come over. But to me it felt like a lifetime. He arrived and just walked. I gave him one of my 'man hugs', he sat me down on the couch,
'the way you act you might want tissues,'
He whipped some straight out of his pocket and passed them to me.
'you know Lisa,'
I nodded as if that was a stupid question, he carried on,
'well my cousin Mark got married to a Lisa Bell 1 year ago. I didn't think any of it until today as she used to have blonde hair, she now has brown. She used to wear so much make up, now she wears none. I didn't recognise her. But I thought I recognised her voice, but I thought it might have been a girl I had dated in the past. she was using you for your money Chandler!'
I showed Joey the text I was going to send her and he nodded so I pressed send, I'm out of it, I thought with a smile on my face.
'what about Monica?' Joey stated.
