Knock knock, "It's open." Phoebe says in a gloomy tone. Joey peered in and saw her staring at her book instead of actually reading it. He sensed something was wrong. He made his way to her side, took her hand and said, "What's wrong phoebes, where's Mike?" She wouldn't look at him in the eyes, but said, "He's at work...you know, I feel like I'm not worthy enough to get married." Joeys eyes widened and said, "What did that bastard do? Huh? Tell me!" Phoebe shook her head and said, "No it's not him, I was just thinking about how I'm never going to get excited when I'm on my way to a date. Or I'm never going to get that tingly feeling when I find out someone likes me back. I just want to get to know that feeling. I want to feel young and free again. I feel trapped." Joey looked down and said, "He's a good guy. You probably need more time." He never thought of marriage as something where you were trapped with one person for eternity. Marriage was about marrying your bestfriend. He always thought they were going to end in a happy ending, but in this case they're not. "I'm just not sure how I should tell him."
She wailed and buried her head into his loose shirt, he stroked her golden hair and thought deeply. No Joey, you're not like this. You're supposed to help not make it worse. "If you want I can tell him for you?" Phoebe sniffed and shook her head, "No, I have to tell him myself. Look, I kind of want to be alone right now. But thank you for stopping by Joe." Joey wanted to stay longer, he wanted to caress her and tell her it was going to be okay. He was feeling some type of way towards her. But he knew he had to respect her choices.
"If you need anything, don't be afraid to call, okay?" He kissed her forehead while she escorted him out the door. He didn't have anyone to go to now.
