Hi people...I'm BAAAAAAACCKK!! Heehee...again. first I would like to say
"God Bless America!!" since I wrote this on Sept. 11. Anyway...this, of
course, is a C&M fic...it's not one of my mushy mushy loooove fics, but IT
IS sad.(duh!!) Anyway...here it goes!
~*In His Arms Once Again*~
(We see a woman sitting by a window staring up at the sky. We can only see her back.)
She sat by her window, staring up at the skies up in the sky. It has been 7 years...7 years!! She couldn't believe it...7 years ago, her life had been turned around and she had ran from her friends and family.
(the woman turns around and we see its Monica. She has tears running down her face.)
Monica: (v/o as we see her turn back around to look outside) I didn't want to believe it...I didn't want to think it was true...but I was forced to believe-and I got angry; angry at him and angry at everyone else around me... I didn't know what to do...so I ran. And now I live here...in this stupid ugly SHACK!
(we zoom out and leave Monica and we go outside her house and we see it's a kind of run down neighbourhood of New York.)
(go back to Monica and we see a little girl enter the little room)
Little girl: Mommy?
Monica: (wipes her eyes and turns around to face the girl) Sweetie...what are you doing awake?? Where's Melanie?
Little girl*: Mel* is sweeping mommy...but I had a bad dream...
Monica: Aaaaww...come here! (pats her lap and the little girl comes and sits down on it. She leans her head on Monica's shoulder and slowly begins to fall asleep. Monica stares at the top of her head and begins to cry again) (v/o) My kids were suffering...and because of that, I was too.
*Melanie is Monica's older daughter...and the little girl is the younger one...her name is...Steph(anie)
(Monica puts her arms around steph and slowly gets up. She lays her down on a small bed and then lies down beside her. She slowly begins to fall asleep and we see a flash of white light and we know it's a dream because it's all white-[it's not a good dream by the way] oh, and we cannot hear anything)
~white flash~(we go to a courtroom and we see a judge[duh] and it looks like he's about to announce his decision. We see him slam down the hammer and yell something. We see a younger looking Monica begin to cry and two officers walk up to a man and start to drag him away. Right before they enter a door the man turns around to look at Monica. It's Chandler! He blows her one last kiss and mouths 'I love you' and then it all goes black and we see Monica sit up in her bed.) Monica: (whispering) Why did you do it Chandler...?
(fades out. Next Day)
(we see Monica and the little girl sitting around a table eating. Suddenly a pretty teenager walks in to the little room they're in.)
Melanie: Hey mom...hey little one.
Monica: Hey honey...what are you doing today?
Melanie: What I usually do...watch my sister.(sarcastically)
Monica: (sighs) I know that part...but...
Melanie: I dont know...anything Steph wants to do.
Steph: Go to park!!
Melanie: Okay...go get ready...(Steph gets up and runs out) (turns to Monica) Soo...mom...what are you doing today?
Monica; (glares at her) You know...
Melanie: Yeah...I do. I dont get why you cant get another job...
Monica: (starts getting angry) what is wrong with you?! Why are you suddenly in such a weird mood?! Dont you get it...nobody wants to hire me!!
Melanie: Yeah well...that's because we're poor*!!
*Okay...they're not THAT poor...but you know... "teenagers these days..."
Monica; Dont say that!!
Melanie: Face it mom...we are! And it's all your fault!!
Monica; WHAT?! No it's not!!
Melanie: Yeah it is! You ran mom...you ran.
Monica: Dont you dare blame this on me...!!
Melanie: Listen to me mom...we have to ask for help...there are many people around here that can help us! They can help you get a job...and-
Monica: NO! OKay??
Melanie: Mom...you cant continue this...
Monica: (begins to cry a bit) I know that...
Melanie: Oh come on mom...dont cry...please...
Monica: (stares at her daughter) Mel...okay. fine. I'll ask for help...but this is for you...go...! I'll take care of Steph...
Melanie: (stares at her mother blankly) Go where?
Monica; To a friends...I dont care!! You didn't sound like you wanted to spend time with your sister anyway...just go.
Melanie: are you serious?
Monica: yeah...go...
Melanie: Oh my god...okay! (picks up a phone and dials in a number) emma?? HI! It's Mel...guess what? I actually am free! Okay great...no I dont...okay, meet you there! Bye!
Monica; Who was that?
Melanie: My friend from school...Emma. I'm going over to her house...
Monica: (kind of nervous now) Okay...how far is it?? When will you be back?
Melanie: Mom...calm down...I wont be kidnapped or anything...I'll be home by 7.
Monica: Oohh..all right...go! Enjoy!
Melanie: (looks so happy now. Kisses Monica on the cheek and skips out of the room) byyeee...
(Monica slumps down into a chair and a tear runs down her cheek)
~Central Perk!!~(that's where Mel had to meet her friend Emma. We see Mel standing in front of the coffee house, looking around. Suddenly a girl walks up to her)
Girl: Hey there Mel!!
Mel: Hi Emma...sooo...
Emma: My place is across the street...
Mel: Oh...all right...
~they start walking across the street and it fades to Monica and Steph at the park. Steph is on a swing and Monica is pushing her absentmindedly~
Steph: Moommmyy!! Look!! I'm swinging hhhiiiiggggggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!
Monica: (not really paying attention) Hhhmm...yeah...
~fades to Emma and Melanie. They are just entering Emma's apartment.~
Melanie: Where are your parents?
Emma; Oh...they're across the street with a couple of their friends...
Melanie: huh?
Emma: I swear...they act like teenagers sometimes! It's pretty freaky...
Melanie: really...that's-cool.
Emma: What's up Mel?
Melanie: Nothing...really.
Emma: Mel, I've known you since like -forever-and I know that something must be up!
Melanie: (sighs) Why dont we know anything about each other's families?
Emma: huh?
Melanie: why?
Emma; I dont know...we just dont talk about that stuff...what? Want to talk about it?
(Melanie nods, tears filling up in her eyes)
Emma: Lets go to my room...
~they walk into a room and we follow them...when they get in there, Melanie begins to cry~
Emma; Melanie! What's wrong??
Melanie: Haven't you been wondering why I never let you meet my mom?!
Emma: Well...you haven't met mine either...
Melanie: But at least I know how she looks like...!
Emma: Well...yeah...but-
Melanie: Please...you have to promise not to tell anybody anything I tell you now...!!
Emma; (quietly) I haven't told anyone anything you ever tell me...you're my best friend Mel...
(melanie begins to cry softly and Emma embraces her)
Emma: what's wrong hon?
Melanie: Everything!! My life is so messed up!
Emma: Oh no...no it's not...
Melanie: that's what it looks like...
Emma: Tell me what's wrong Mel...
Melanie: My mom...she is-or was-a stripper.
Emma: (looks really shocked, but of course feels sorry for Melanie so she hugs her) Mel...I'm sorry...I never knew...I-
Melanie: No...it's okay...
Emma: But...what about your dad?
Melanie: (cries harder) When I was seven...he was accused of.......murder. He's in jail...and I haven't seen him since the trial...
(Emma then begins to cry too)
Emma: I never knew Mel...I never knew...I'm sorry I never helped you through this...I'm supposed to be your friend...I'm SORRY!!
Melanie: No...you didn't know! You were always there for me Em...you just didn't know it...
(Emma nods and they hug again and it fades to Steph and Monica by the park swings)
Steph: Moooommyyyyy....earth to MOOOOMMMMMMMYYYY!!!!!
Monica: (snaps out of some day dream) What?
Steph: You're not pushing mommy...you're not!!
Monica; Okay...okay!! (she begins to push Steph very high and suddenly[this all happens quickly] Steph flies off the swing and well up in the air. She falls on the ground with a thud and Monica screams)
~fades to Emma and Melanie...they're sitting on a couch in the living room...they're just sitting their, quietly staring around the place. Suddenly the door opens...~
(Melanie and Emma turn around and the camera goes to the door and there we see.......RACHEL AND ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
