Author's Note: I'm sure many of you know the song 'You Belong With Me' by Taylor Swift. I, personally, am not her biggest fan but I have to say this was just the most fitting title for this fic, so, enjoy! And tell me what you think.
The six best friends, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe and Ross, were all hanging out at Central Perk, as they did most days. They had just finished discussing Rachel's latest date and the guys were very bored. Chandler was still dating Janice; he had been for quite a while, but he knew he wasn't happy with her. He was secretly in love with someone in their very own little group of friends: Monica Geller. Well okay, maybe it wasn't a secret; the only person that didn't actually know was Monica herself. What he didn't know was that Monica was also in love with him, and had been for a long time. In some ways they were the perfect match. Then, before they knew it, it was time for Ross and Monica to go to dinner with their parents (joy…), leaving Chandler, Joey, Rachel and Phoebe at the coffeehouse.
"So, when you telling her, man?" Joey clapped Chandler on the arm.
"What do you mean?"
"When are you telling Monica you're in love with her?"
"I can't do that!"
"Yes, you can!" Phoebe interjected.
"Yeah," Rachel added, "What do you have to lose?"
"Uh, everything?!" Chandler exclaimed, appalled.
"Dude, break up with Janice and go after Monica already." Joey encouraged Chandler.
"I don't know. Monica would never be into a guy like me, and come on, she's my best friend. It would never work!"
"Yes it would, don't be such a boy!" Phoebe whined.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Come on, everyone knows Monica has just been waiting for you. Why do you think none of her relationships ever work out?!"
"Phoebe!" Rachel exclaimed. "I can't believe you just told! We promised Monica we wouldn't."
"Well I'm sorry, I was getting sick of his hesitation! He needed to know. Now he can have enough courage to go after what both of them so obviously want."
"Wait, Phoebe, what did you just say?" Chandler rejoined the conversation.
"Yes, okay. Ooh, the moment of truth. Monica's in love with you, Chandler. You should have noticed by now." Phoebe said it like it was obvious. Chandler was in shock. He fell back against the couch in deep thought. How could he get her to become his? Then it came to him, and a sly smile settled on his lips. Monica Geller was going to be his in no time. He had to go at her with his best weapon, the thing she wanted most. Marriage.
"What's with the smile, Chandler?" Joey asked in confusion. Chandler just kept smiling.
"You'll see. I have a plan." Everyone looked at each other in wonder and Phoebe started laughing.
Author's Note: I know that wasn't the longest chapter, but the next one will hopefully be up shortly, and I'm hoping to make it longer. Just tell me what you thought of it so far! Thanks.
