Friends The One Where Joey Moves Out Novels & Stories

"Why meet here?" Joey snapped back to reality and stood up, waving her hand. "I haven't been here in ages. We came often in college—back when you, I, and Mr. Evans…" "Still calling him Mr. Evans?" Willow chuckled. "He's your husband now." Joey forced a smile. "Matthew and I plan to move to another city. I came to say goodbye." Willow was taken aback. "Why?" "I'm tired." The wind was strong by the river, and Joey brushed her hair aside, turning to look at the lighthouse. "It feels like there is nothing left to hold on to in Emperia. Matthew and I want to find a new place to live, away from all this noise."

“Yeah, well, this time it’s more complicated than usual.” Joey leaned back against the reception desk, crossing his arms. “Alright, spill. What’s the deal? You guys finally hit the ‘do-not-pass-go’ point or what?” Ray hesitated, but Joey was one of the few people he could be honest with. “Things have been tense,” Ray admitted. “Really tense. We had… a situation with her friend Delly.” Joey let out a low whistle. “Oh boy. I should’ve known Delly was in the mix. You really have a thing for drama, don’t you?”

Penny wasn't satisfied with the answer, but before she could ask more, she saw the two of them walk out. She rushed towards Jojo. “Are you okay?” She asked. Jojo chuckled. “He is my brother. He wouldn't let anything happen to me,” she said. “Ah, yeah! I can tell,” Jojo said.

Will you be okay?” She asked.

It was Emilia, my best friend since college and the keeper of all my secrets, most of them about a certain six-foot-two commitment-phobe. “Talk. Your mom sent me the prayer hands emoji. What did you do?” I let out a shaky breath that was part performance, part very real adrenaline. “I just nuked my relationship with my dad. Over the merger." “Oh, honey. Do you need wine? I have wine. And that terrible reality TV you love.” “Not tonight,” I said, a real smile touching my lips as I turned onto Charlie’s street. “I’m going to crash at Charlie’s for a bit. Just… need some space from the Dorrington drama.”

a girl said, making me clutch the phone in my hands tighter. "Yeah. I hear they came back from the Bahamas yesterday. I've been following their posts daily. He took her to the most beautiful beach hotel. Took her shopping, and dined at the finest restaurants...God, she is so lucky," another girl said, not missing the chance to glance at me. My phone buzzed with a new message from my best friend, Shannon, bringing my anger down a notch. "Hey, girly. I got your paperwork ready, are you free now? The gang wants to hang out, and Brooks tried to call you, but he said you didn't pick up. He wants to see us." she typed, making my eyes bulge.

We moved to other games, and by the time we played to our satisfaction, we were on our way home before nightfall. The next morning was a Sunday, and while my best friend and I still had a good time, we expected my Dad home anytime soon. Although at the same time, we expected Noah who would come over to take his sister. I wished the moment never came. Having Cassie around was more fun than Christian who wasn't grown enough to keep the company I expected of him. Soon enough, Dad came home. As usual, he brought home goodies with him. Cassie, Christian, and I were busy unpacking when a car honked its horn.

''I thought I was going to have to find a new best friend,'' Zack told me. We were sat under our usual tree, I ate a ham sandwich while Zack had leftover mac and cheese. ''So quickly?'' I asked ''Well I didn't know where you were and Jacob told me that I would need a new friend. Of course, I didn't believe him, he's no good you shouldn't talk to him, then you disappeared forever. I figured if you weren't home Saturday then I'd have to mourn you for ten years then find a new friend,'' he recounted.

"I was living at the employee dorm, but now that I've resigned, I have no idea where to stay." "Your home…" "I don't have a home. He kicked me out."
