Find my Way to You

Time to Shine

So Ross left me there last night. Broken. I've never felt so much hurt in one single moment. I just stared at the door waiting for him to run back in, take me in his arms and confess that he still loved me, but he never came back. I cried for hours looking around my room and remembering all of our memories we shared in that room. Then my eyes shifted towards the bed and I remembered all the times we made love in that very spot. I remembered how loved he made me feel. And now Emily would be in my place. He was supposed to be mine forever, but I was too stupid to tell him. Now he's gone and I don't know how much more of Ross Geller I'll be seeing. With that I cried myself to sleep wearing one of his shirts I never gave back. It still smelled like him and for a moment I thought I was back in his arms and that helped me go to sleep that night.

"Rachel! Breakfasts ready!" I heard Monica yell from the kitchen. I had the biggest headache and looked like hell. I slowly crepted into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Emotionless staring at the table.

Monica gasped. "sweetie, what's wrong with you?"

A tear fell from my eye and before I knew it I had broken down. "Rosschoseemily" I mumbled quickly sobbing.

"Rach? What are you saying? Calm down.." Monica rushed over to me and hugged me.

I finally collected myself and spoke. "Ross chose to be with Emily.."

A look of udder shock came to Monica's face. "no, thats not possible. He would never Rach. You must've misunderstood.. " Monica rambled on.

"DAMMIT MONICA IT HAPPENED." I yelled and slammed my hands against the table causing her to stop and flinch back.

"okay? He's over me. He doesn't even care that he'll never see me again." I said calmly.

Monica swallowed. "You still have a week together."

I smirked and laughed it off. "wow a whole week. Wouldn't that just make things harder?"

"Look, Rach." mon said taking my hand. "This is going to sound really bad coming from the sister but.. This week is your last chance to prove to him that you are the love of his life and not Emily."

I closed my eyes in attempt to not cry and slowly shook my head yes. "You're right. It's my last chance until I lose him forever."

Monica patted me knee and I smiled. "good!" she quipped. "now, I'll invite everyone over to dinner tonight and you make your move."

Later that night everyone but Ross had shown up. I didn't know how it would feel around him since the last time we spoke we were arguing and I told him I would never see him again but here we are.

And then he finally entered the door hugging Monica as he locked eyes with me and I quickly looked down. I stayed secluded in the window seat because I honestly wasn't in the mood to socialize. Just then I saw him walk towards me.

"Hey, Rach.." he trailed off. He went to touch me and then decided it the wrong decision and pulled his hand away.

"Hi.." I slightly smiled and went back to looking out the window.

"look, I'm sorry. About everything. I don't know how I'm going to-"

"Save it Ross." I interrupted. "it's fine. Now, let's go eat dinner, hm?" I said clasping my hands together and getting up.

Shortly after I saw Ross out on the balcony and decided it was my time to shine. Time to make my move, and so I went out there.

"Hey, Ross can I talk to you?"
