Okay, here I am again. After  a loooong  pause of writing I just wrote Part V. But it's very short, you'll see. I hope I can write more the next time but yeah...I'm really stressed at the moment 'cause of school. But here we go with..

TO With Or Without You (Part V)

This fanfic is just for fun and I do not own any of these characters. They belong to craine/bright/kaufmann productions, WB and NBC.

Let's start. Do you remember the end of the last fic? No? Well, here it is...


(Ross told Rachel on stage at the U2 concert that he loves her and he wants to be with her. She gets scared and runs away. Monica finds her and talks to her...)

Rachel: God Mon, I don't know...When he was there on stage and ....I heard all those things he said....I....I was scared..I was scared 'cause
              (pause, takes a deep breath) you know, I love him, god, I love him so much that it hurts (cries harder) and ...I want to be with him so
               badly, it's just the fact that when I'm with him there'll always be this fear to lose him....again. I can't live with this fear. I just can't...

Phoebe and Monica just hug her and camera slowly fades out.

Cuts to Ross. He's in his bedroom sitting on the bed and looking at the bunch of roses which are on the night table in a vase.

Ross: God Rach, why are you doing this to me? I love you so much. I thought you love me, too but I guess this time it's the end....I can't live that way....I hope you'll understand...I can't...


Here starts the new part....

The next day. We are at M & C's. Everyone is there except for Ross.

Monica: (looks at Rachel) Rach sweety, how do you feel?

Rachel: (obviously not in a good mood) are you asking because of the pregnancy or because of Ross?

Phoebe and Monica glares at her.

Rachel: What? Do I look fat or what is it?

Monica: I'm just worried about you, that's all.

Phoebe: Yeah, me too. So, how do you feel?

- silence-

Rachel: Well, you want to know the truth? I feel horrible!! Last night I did the worst mistack I've ever done and could do!!! (she starts to sob) I hurted the person I love the most....and....god, he'll never forgive me for that...the father of my child will hate me!! (breaks down in tears)

Joey: (heard everything she said) Which child?

Monica: (glares at him) Shut up, Joey. This is not the right time for that...

Phoebe takes Joey by his hand and goes to the balcony with him.

Phoebe: Look, Rachel is pregnant.

Joey: (not believing it) (out loud) What?

Phoebe: Shhhhhh

Joey: Sorry..what??

Phoebe: She's expecting a child and Ross is the father.

Joey: Wow, how did this happen?

Phoebe: Well, I guess they slept together.

Joey: Yes, maybe that's it!!

Joey and Phoebe go back to the apartment.

They all go to Rachel and hug her.

Chandler: Rachel, you know, he doesn't hate you. He never could! He just loves you...

Joey: Yeah, he's right. Go and talk to him! Tell him how you feel....

Rachel: (sobs) Well, I guess it's too late.

Phoebe: Rachel stop that!! It's never too late!!

Chan/Joey/Mon: Phoebe's right!!

Monica: C'mon Rach. Go over to him and talk to him. There's nothing to lose.

Rachel: I could lose him, maybe I already lost him....

Phoebe: Don't be so negative. Go and talk to him, now!!

Rachel hesitates but then wipes her tears and leaves.

Monica: Poor Rach...

Chandler: Why do they have to suffer all the time!!!

Joey: It's Ross and Rachel we're talking about.

Phoebe: They love each other and love can hurt...

-silence-

Chandler: Hey, but I don't get it. I mean, Ross told her yesterday about how much he loves her and blabla....why did she run away when she loves him too?

Monica: It isn't that easy. She's scared of losing him and ....well....I absolutely understand her...losing somebody who you love so strongly like she does must be heartbreaking...

Joey: I hope this time they'll make it.

Monica: I guess we all do!



 

Later at C & M's. Rachel slowly enters the apartment.

Monica (runs to her): Tell us, tell us!! How was it?

Rachel (disappointed): There's nothing to tell. (everybody looks surprised) -pause- Well, he wasn't there.

Monica: What? He wasn't there? Why? Today's sunday.

Joey: Maybe he's having breakfast somewhere.

Monica: Maybe, but that's so unlike him. (she goes to the window, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey follow her)

Chandler: Well look at the curtains. Why the hell are they...(looks at Joey who smiles weirdly)

Joey: Maybe he's got a date (smile fades as he sees the look of the others) Sorry, I didn't meant that.

Monica: Okay, I'll go and check. (she leaves)

We focus on Rachel. She's pacing around and then runs to the toilett.



 

Later. C& M's. Monica enters. She's very pale and doesn't look very good. She sits down and just stares at the table.

Rachel: Oh my god, Monica tell me, what happend to him? (starts to cry) Mon...please...

Monica: (with a slow voice): He's....he.....-pause- he left.

Chandler/Joey: What??? Why??

Monica: I knocked at the door and there was no answer so I opened the door and entered. The apartment was all empty and then...I found this on his desk...(starts to cry a little. As Rachel sees her crying she gets really worried)

Monica gets a letter out of her pocket and hands it to Chandler.

Chandler (after he read the letter): Wow, that's .....strange....

Rachel: Oh god, give me that letter. What did he wrote? (Chandler hands her the letter)

She starts to read and we hear Ross' voice:

" Dear Monica, my sister
Dear Chandler, Joey and Pheebs, my friends
Dear Rachel, my love.....

Don't worry about me. I had to leave because I couldn't handle it anymore. It's for the best. Don't try to find me 'cause you wont. I'll start here a new life and maybe I'll be happy again someday...Monica, I love you sis. Take care of our parents and I'll write them a letter to explain it. Take care on you....Pheebs, Chandler and Joey, you guys are the best friends ever. I'll miss the good time we always had together. I wish you all the best...And Rachel, what can I say...I allready said everything at the concert and well, that's how I feel about you. I can't blame you for you not loving me. It hurts to see you and not to be with you. I guess we just aren't meant for each other! But I always will love you. You're in my heart forever...I love you, Rach.

In love, Ross "

.....to be continued...

Okay, you see, it's very short and I'm sorry for that, but I hope you liked it though?!? Please post your comments. I'd like to read them. :)
