You were Chandler's cousin and last year you moved to New York, you were part of the group and lived with Rachel and Monica.

Everything was fine, in theory. You felt like a fish out of water sometimes, as if everyone had a place and you didn't, as if you didn't really matter.

There was a small detail that you didn't know, Joey had a secret crush on you from the first day but never said anything because you were Chandler's cousin.

Today was your birthday and no one remembered, you had spent the day alone trying not to cry.

It was around 7 pm when Rachel arrived celebrating her promotion at work and everyone was happy and even planned a dinner, while you swallowed your own tears on your own birthday.

Joey quickly notices his sadness and approaches asking: "is everything okay?"
