The One With the Unspoken Feelings ~ Jandler

Confession Time

Joey walked to Central Perk. He needed to vent to someone about this. He couldn't keep these feelings locked up inside anymore. It felt as though he could bust at any given second. He decided to talk to Phoebe. She's always good at advice and she'd be the most understanding about this. He walked in and found them laughing and talking about. He aproached the group.
"Phoebs, can we talk real quick." Joey asked avoiding eye contact from the others.
"Sure, Joey." Phoebe said looking up at him with a smile.
"I kinda meant alone." Joey said above a whisper.
"Ohh yes of course." Phoebe said getting up and they walked a table near the entrance but it was the emptiest spot in the place.
"What's going on? Is this about you and Chandler?"
Joey nodded. "I don't know what to do anymore Phoebs. I like him. I really like him. And I screwed up so bad."
"I don't think he's trying to make you feel like this, Joey. I think he feels just as bad or even worse. He's dealing with a lot. He just got heartbroken and now he feels as though he lost his best friend. The only person who was always there and not just because you have to be but because you want to." Phoebe explained. She has known that Joey has liked Chandler for a while and vise-versa. But only she holds the knowledge of that. They both think the other wants nothing more than a platonic relationship. Their secrets she promised to never tell but dropping hints here and there never hurt.
"I know.. I just wish he knew how i felt about him.." Joey said in parts as the door opened to reveal Chandler.

'I just wish he knew how I felt about him.'
Chandler couldn't assume. He wasn't going to let himself. Maybe he was talking about someone else. He probably just mistooken the word "she" to "he". He had to act like he still was mad. He once again avoided Joeys presence. Chandler walked over to the crew and sunk easily into the already started conversation. Joey watched him. That was one thing he always loved about him. He sighed and put his head down on the table. Misery falling over him. Chandler took that time to look over at him. His smile faded as he looked over Joey then caught Phoebes eyes.
'Do something!' Phoebe mouthed to Chandler.
'I will!' He mouthed back and as he did, Joey was picking his head up so he turned back to the laughing others and joined in.
