The Friends reunion really brought deep Nostalgia to David, he knows that its not only him who felt this strange feeling of longing, sadness and regrets. The moment he saw her that day he knows that this woman still hold a piece of his heart. Its been years since the last time they saw each other but seeing her that day was different. Going back to the set is like going back to the painful process he had to go through in the last years of their show. That is why even though he doesn't want the show to end he was relieved because somehow he can now move on with his life and get over her. He knows that seeing her almost every day wont do him any good. He was really devastated when he found out she is engaged with someone else. Not just with some ordinary guy but with one of the hottest and good looking guy in the Industry. In his mind "that was Brad Pitt He was only David Schwimmer". He cannot top that.
David knows that at some point Jen had loved him. That she was being honest when she told him she will be waiting for him. But as to what Rachel had said "Sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to be". He understood that what they had was deep yet it was also complicated. When she got married he was genuinely happy for her and he knows she's gonna be a great wife and a mother.
David vividly remember the moment he step inside the set of friends, all the memories of the last episode came rushing back to him. The last moment of Ross and Rachel and the last kiss they both shared that day. He was really grateful for their characters because at some point it became their only chance to enjoy each other. Unconsciously they both channeled their love and adoration for each other through their characters. As he linger to his thoughts that day a certain memory came back to him.
-May 2004-
David know that he will not leave LA without saying goodbye to Jen. He needed to tell her that he was okay that he will be fine. He knows that all these years Jen was worried about him.
Jen was in her dressing room composing herself from all the emotions she had been feeling. The last day of filming friends is breaking her heart, she did not expect the amount of pain it brought her. How can she leave her almost home for 10 years? How can she leave her friends? How can she stand not seeing David every day? All these things are running through her mind when she heard a knock on her door. She was shocked and comforted to see who it was. It was David.
Hey! how are you holding up? he said with a soft smile. He quickly noticed Jen's puffy eyes and he knows she's been crying all day. Seeing her in that way makes him want to hug and comfort her. But he knows he cannot do that, she is off limits now. God knows how he missed the days where he can just hugged and kissed her. David motioned to sit beside her in the couch, Jen I needed to tell you something. Yeah sure come here she said.
He doesn't exactly know where to begin but he just want to make this as simple as possible. I just want you to know that, I am okay, he started, you don't have to worry about me, what happened with us in the past I am grateful for it. I don't regret any of it. I am lucky to get the chance to be loved by you even for a while. Jen felt a deep pain through her chest hearing him say these things. I want you to stop beating yourself up for what had happened. I don't blame you okay? I really need you to know that. I want you to be happy and to enjoy what you have right now. You deserve everything Jen. You deserve to be happy. As for me, I am moving to New York right after we finish everything for our show. Tears started swelling on Jen's eyes, she no longer cant take his words. She just want to stop him from saying all of these things. I know this is the right and healthy thing for me. I wanna get over you Jen, And will not be able to that if I will be around you always. Loving you all these years was the best thing in my life yet it was also the most painful thing I have to go through. I don't regret any of it but I cannot promise that we can still be friends after this. I am so sorry. Jen was stunned hearing what he had said. What? She exclaimed almost shouting. That is unfair! you are moving to New York, you are leaving me and now you are asking me to not be your friend?. Her pain and sadness is now added with anger. Jen couldn't possibly think why he needed to cut her off his life. David move closer to her and hug her tightly hoping his embrace would erase all her pain. Jen no longer know what to do she just gave in and buried her face into his neck crying. David whispered softly to hear ear "I love you so much but I have to let you go" she can sense he's crying now. I'm so sorry David, the only words that left her mouth, I have to go Jen. He kissed her on the head and leave the room. That was the last time David ever talk to Jen.
