way, this IS a C&M fic)
Story so far: weell...one day the gang all had this big fight because they all wanted to do "more" in their lives and suddenly everyone wanted to move away-so they fought, and then broke apart. Now Monica's life has always been perfect-a loving husband(not Chandler!) and 2 adorable kids. But suddenly her life is going down the drain, and when she's asked to go to Chicago for a month for something to do with work, she gladly takes it. One day in Chicago, she meets up with someone that she hasn't seen in many years-and she falls in love...now she has to choose between her husband or the person she trully loves. What is she going to do? Read to find out!!!
~*Decisions*~
(*we enter this really big house in Scarsdale, and we zoom through quickly and enter a kitchen, where we see a woman's back...she's sitting on one of those high chairs that they normally have in kitchens...with the high table. We then go around and look at her face, and we can see it's Monica. She's just sitting there; looking out the window at a big lawn they have outside, and she has tears running down her cheeks.*)
Monica: (*we're still watching her*) (V/O) My life has always been something people could call perfect...I've got a loving husband and 2 children who I love...but over these past few weeks, my 'perfect' life is rapidly going down the drain. I'm too hurt and confused, that I dont know what to do. I hardly have any friends who I can talk to about all my problems, since 10 I really haven't bothered to become closer to any of the people I know-I dont know, it just doesn't seem right.
*we see a white flash, and it goes to a "mime" of when the 6 friends were fighting, and we can still hear Monica talking V/O*
Monica: 10 years ago I never thought I would have problems like I have now...I had 5 best friends who were always there for me, and I always had them to talk to if I ever felt confused or anything. But that day, ten years ago, was a day of yelling, a day of tears-and later on...a day of regret. Well...I'm not sure about them...but I totally regret saying ANYTHING I said on that day.
flashes back to the Monica sitting in the kitchen, and her tears are starting to fall harder
(suddenly the phone rings)
Monica: (wiping her eyes with her hands, she picks up the phone which was a few inches away from her. She takes a deep breath and starts talking) Hello?
Man: Hello, Monica?
Monica: Oh hello sir...what's up? It's a Saturday...
Man: I know...but I wanted to ask you something...
Monica: Okay...what?
Monica's boss: Well...we need a few new chefs right...and well, we need you to fly over to Chicago-since you're one of our best chef's-and we need you to pick out 5 more chef's that you think are good.*
Monica: Chicago?? For how long?
Monica's boss: Um...I dont know...as long as it takes...I think a month at most.
Monica: A MONTH?!
Monica's boss: Well...if you dont want to, we could always send *****...
*By the way, I'm gonna make Monica work for like an airplane food service thingy...I think they still have chef's(of course) making the food...so I'm gonna say she's one of the chefs...and well...I'm not THAT sure how they get more chef's-but just go with me here...kay? thanx.
Monica: (Monica stays quiet and stares out the window again and after a few minutes she looks like she made up her mind) No...it's okay...I'll go. When do I have to leave?
Monica's boss: As soon as possible...
Monica: all right...I'll talk to my husband, and I'll get back to you later.
Monica's boss: OKay...bye.
(Monica hangs up the phone, sets it down on the table and walks out of the kitchen)
a few hours later, Monica, her husband and her children are having dinner...and everyone is all 'quiet' and suddenly Monica speaks up...
Monica: Uumm...Nick?*
*Nick is her hisband by the way...hehe...forgot to say!
Nick: Yes?
Monica: I wanted to ask you something...um...well...the children too...
Nick: Ask?
Monica: Well...ask. And tell.
Kids*: What is it mom?/Wah mom?
* Monica has one boy(the older one, 9, Bryan) and one girl(younger, 4, Mandy[short for Amanda])
Monica: Well...I have to go to Chicago-for a while. Um...for my job.
Nick: What?! For how long??
Monica: Well...my boss is not sure...he said the longest is a month.
Bryan: A month but mo-
Nick: A MONTH? Monica you can't do that?!
Monica: (starting to get kinda upset) But WHY??
Nick: You're children!! And ME! You cant just leave for a whole MONTH!(starting to raise his voice)
Monica: But what if I WANT to?!
Nick: You know what...FINE! GO! I DONT CARE!!(stands up and walks out of the dining room)
(MOnica turns to her kids sadly)
Monica: You guys...is it okay if mommy leaves you for while?
(they both nod)
Monica: Are you sure?
Mandy: Of coouurrsee mwommy...it's ONLY a month...
(Monica smiles a bit)
Bryan: Yeah mom...it's all right...
Monica: Okay...good.
I dont really wanna rush, but I'm just going to skip ahead to a day before she leaves, and she and Nick are sitting on the bed talking...and there are two suitcases in the room, and we can tell she's about to leave
Nick: And I'm sorry not for understanding...and well, for being selfish...okay?
Monica: It's all right...really...a month IS a long time...but it will fly by quickly...
Nick: Yeah...I guess.
(Monica looks down at her watch)
Monica: Well...I better get going now...okay? I already said bye to the kids before they left to school...so...that's done...well...see you in one month!!(kisses him quickly, hugs him, and gets up)
it cuts to a few hours later, and we see Monica entering this small-but nice-apartment where she's gonna be living for the month. She puts her suitcases down, shuts the door, walks into the bedroom and falls down flat on her back on the bed staring up at the ceiling
Monica: (V/O) When I left...I wasn't really sure if I did really forgive him...I dont know why. We've been fighting since a while now...and every time we do, I get more hurt, and I just cant take it anymore...that's why I decided to take this trip; to cool off.
Monica: (looks at her watch and says out loud) Oh god... I've got that meeting in 3 hours!!!! OH NO!!! (she gets up, opens up one of her suitcases and frantically searches through it, taking out something nice to wear)
cuts to a few minutes later, and she's running the 10 blocks that lead to the head office...she's running now in front of a park, and she's looking around, not looking in front of her, and suddenly she crashes into someone and they both topple over
Monica: OWW!!!
A man: Hey...watch it!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! JUST RUNNING STRAIGHT INTO SOMEONE LIKE THAT!?!
(Monica, who is brushing herself off and looking down at a small rip in her skirt, suddenly gets wide wide eyes and slowly looks up at the man still blabbing on and on about how she should watch out and stuff)
(The man finally notices Monica staring at her and stares back at her and suddenly starts walking. Monica follows him and he finds a seat in the park and plops down-and Monica just stands in front of him)
Man: Deep breath...deep breath...
Monica: Who are you talking to?
Man: MY SELF!(snaps)
Monica: okay...
Man: Sooo...Monica...what are YOU doing here??(kinda coldly)
Monica: Well Chandler...I should be asking YOU that.
