BLUE EYES

This is a fanfic about Chandler and Monica. It takes place after Richard and Monica broke up. Oh yeah, Chandler isn't going out with anyone and Ross and Rachel are together. This might be a little depressing.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters. They belong to NBC and Crane, Bright, and Kaufman. I am just using them for entertainment and so you cannot sue me:)

FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! (Be gentle, this is my first fic)
ITS 5 days before Christmas and the whole apartment is decorated.



Scene: Monica and Rachel's


Monica leaned out the window. It was late, 2:00 a.m. She didn't know what had come over her. She had just broken up with Richard 5 months ago. She should be over him. Why can't I find anybody? She wondered. Suddenly, a pair of blue eyes popped in front of her face. The eyes looked so familiar, so safe, like she knew who it was. She blinked and the eyes vanished. She looked out the window. It was pouring rain. Or maybe it was the reflection of her tears. She couldn't tell.


Scene: It was the next day Monica and Rachel's

Monica looked around her. She and her 5 closest friends were just sitting around, talking about their useless lives. She looked over at Ross and Rachel. They were sitting in the chair, Ross at her feet. Monica looked over at Joey in the kitchen, who was trying to stuff 10 meatballs in his mouth at once. She looked at Phoebe, was plucking the air around Ross. Probably cleaning his aura, Monica thought. And finally she looked at Chandler. He was sitting next to her on the couch his arm around her and her face leaning on his chest. He was telling her a joke in her ear while everyone else was talking. . Just whispering. She couldn't hear anything. Monica smiled a fake smile .All she could think was about her life. IT was going nowhere. She had a crappy life, with a crappy job and absolutely no love life. She sighed. What did I do to deserve this?


Rachel looked up in front of her and smiled at what she saw. Monica looked like she was enjoying herself with Chandler. Rachel then saw Chandler whispering in her ear. Rachel was mesmerized. They looked like a couple. A couple in love. A couple that couldn't live without each other. And in a way, it was true. They were best friends.


While Ross was arguing with Phoebe about evolution, he glanced at Monica. She was doing so much better these days. And without Chandler, she would probably still be in her pajamas. Ross decided to thank Chandler later on.


Phoebe, while cleaning Ross's aura, she looked at Monica and was about to ask her if she can clean her aura as well. But when she looked over, it looked like Chandler had taken care of things. Look at them Phoebe thought...


Oh man! Oh man! I will prove Ross wrong, Joey thought. I can stuff 10 meatballs in my mouth. "Hey Chandler?" Joey said, causing meatballs spewing out of his mouth. Everybody turned around and Monica looked disgusted. That look vanished she had the look of hopelessness in her beautiful blue eyes. And then, she turned around and shut the door to her room. "What?" Joey asked


Chandler just shook his head. He felt angry. Not because Joey and his meatballs but because of Monica. He couldn't cheer her up. He tried his best but this time, his best wasn't good enough. He muttered some excuse and left Monica and Rachel's apartment. Chandler then went into his and Joey's apartment and slammed the door. He was no fool. He could see how much Monica was hurting. He saw right through her. The act she was putting on was worthless. Chandler sensed the others had totally bought it. He slammed his fist on the counter. Monica didn't deserve this. She deserved someone better. His best friend needed someone and asked himself, BUT WHO?


Monica lay on her bed, thinking. She felt so empty nowadays. Not because Richard and her broke up, but life in general. She thought of Joey and his stupid meatballs and when he spilled them. She was about to yell at him and then a voice inside her said, but what's the point? It will be worthless. Life was valueless.


Scene: Two days later
Monica and Rachel's

The gang had just finished dinner that Monica had prepared. Rachel had encouraged her to move on, and she tried cooking first. They were all settled down around the TV, except for Monica, ready to watch a movie. She was just leaning against the refrigerator and looked about her friends. None of them could sense what she was going through. Suddenly, those blue eyes stared in front of her face. She then blinked and they were gone. I must be going crazy, Monica thought. Abruptly, tears came to her eyes and she didn't want the others see her breaking down so she flung out into the balcony and let it all out.


Inside, Chandler couldn't but help but thinking about Monica and her beautiful face and angel eyes and throughout dinner, he saw her staring in her plate and not eating a thing. He hated to see her in so much pain. He hated it. Suddenly, he heard a noise and looked up. He saw Monica running out into the balcony and heard her crying, even though there was glass between him and her. He stood up from his place on the couch and went out side the balcony.


The others looked at each other in puzzlement. They couldn't figure out what was going out what was going out with Monica and Chandler. He seemed so much sad these days. It was like whenever Monica was happy, he was happy. And whenever Monica was sad, it was like he was sad. And vice versa. Rachel looked out the window and saw Chandler hugging Monica. Very tightly.


Outside, Monica couldn't stop crying. It was like something had set her off, and now she couldn't stop. Chandler kept telling her it was going to be okay. She then blurted out, " Why doesn't anyone want me?" Chandler answered gently, "awe, who wouldn't want you? You know what? There should be thousands of guys standing in a line, willing to go out with you. And you know what? I'd be the first." Monica looked up and then she broke down again. He kept on whispering, trying to calm her down and eventually his words did soothe her and eventually she quieted down. But she kept on hugging Chandler. And he didn't mind. Out of the blue, he told her a joke and she smiled. "There is the smile I know and love," Chandler grinned. Monica smiled again." Thank you, Chandler." "Come on let's go inside. The others are waiting." They held hands and went inside.


"All right, what do you guys want to watch?" Phoebe asked, once Chandler and Monica came back.
She looked around her. Chandler was sitting on the couch with Monica propped up against him. Joey was also on the couch next to Monica. Ross and Rachel were on the floor; they're back against the couch. She was sitting in the chair.

"I wanna watch LOST IN SPACE," Joey replied. (A movie starring Matt Leblanc)

"No, let's watch THE PALLBEARER!" a excited Ross said. (A movie starring David Schwimmer)

"I wanna watch PICTURE PERFECT," argued Rachel (A movie starring Jennifer Anniston)

"Oooh!Ohhhh! I pick HANGING UP!!" Phoebe yelled.(A movie starring yep you guessed it, Lisa Kudrow)

"THE WHOLE NINE YARDS RULE!!!" Chandler said (A movie starring Matthew Perry:)

Everyone looked at Monica. "Whatever," she whispered. She really didn't care what they watched. Chandler looked at her questionably. The others then started arguing. All except Chandler and Monica. Chandler quietly asked Monica what she wanted to watch and got a reply, though a very weak reply," SCREAM 3". He nodded and quietly stood up and went over to the VCR and put a movie in and sat back down. The movie started and Chandler yelled, " Can you guys shut up? Me and Monica are trying to watch!" The others stopped and looked at him, then sat back down and started watching SCREAM 3.

Towards the end of the movie, (WARNING: SPOILER FOR SCREAM 3!) When Dewy was about to propose to Gale, Monica looked up. She saw Chandler really into the movie. Probably watching that Gale Wethers, Monica chuckled to herself. He thought about what he had done earlier and smiled, He really is my best friend.



Scene a day later Central Perk

Monica was the only one there. She needed some space from everything. She had something important to do. She can't believe Christmas day was already here. Actually, Christmas was tomorrow and she still had no idea what to get her friends. It wasn't like her to put off Christmas shopping. Usually, she would start Christmas shopping the day after thanksgiving. But lately, she had been preoccupied. She had a decision to make. One that could affect the rest of her hollow life. She sighed. She stood up and was just out the door when the rest of the gang came in. She heard various 'hellos' and Phoebe asked her where she was going? "Christmas shopping," Monica said tiredly and went out.


As soon as Monica left, the others sat down and exchanged questioning glances. "Since when does Monica wait until the last minute for Christmas shopping?" Ross asked. "Just leave her alone!" Chandler snapped and sat down. The others were worried about the 2 of their closest friends.


Scene: Christmas Day (more like Christmas Night) Everybody is gathered around the living room in Rachel and Monica's apartment exchanging presents.
Everybody got his or her presents but Chandler and Monica.

"Here you go, Chandler," Ross said, as he gave him a box wrapped in candy cane paper. " Yummy," Chandler replied and tore it open. "Thanks man!" Inside was a blue polo shirt (the same shade as his eyes) Monica got a vision again about those baby eyes and shivered. Who was that? She wondered. She looked at Chandler and saw that he had opened every one of his presents except for Monica's. He tore it open and in it, Chandler found a play station. "Thanks, Mon!" Chandler and Monica hugged and the others smiled.

"Monica? MONICA!" Monica snapped back to attention. "It's time to open your presents," Phoebe said. She looked at each one of them and she didn't have the energy to open a single one. She was tired. Monica slowly picked the one closest to her and saw that it was from Chandler. A smile was beginning to creep on her lips. She opened it, and saw a beautiful bracelet. It was silver and she turned it over and saw an inscription. TO MY BEST FRIEND. Monica leaped up hugged Chandler and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you. You know, you're my best friend too." Monica whispered in his ear so no one else could hear. "I know," he simply replied and smiled.

Monica soon opened her other presents but they weren't as nearly nicely as Chandler's. She got up to throw the wrapping paper away, and before she realized it, she was standing under mistletoe. "Whoo!Whoooo!I wanna kiss Monica! I wanna kiss Monica," Joey said, excited. Monica felt nauseous. Not because of Joey kissing her but because all of a sudden she felt dizzy and hot all over. She sat down and replied, I don't think so, Joe." Monica had absolutely no energy left. She didn't want to admit this, but she hadn't been eating lately. Food made her nauseous and every time she saw another slice of pizza or that glass of fat sitting in the refrigerator, she had felt like throwing up.


Chandler and the others were concerned. They knew Monica hadn't been eating and every time they mentioned that to her she had just told them to leave her alone and mind their own business.


SCENE: 2 weeks later
Monica and Rachel's Apartment


Monica was the only one there. She was sitting at the kitchen table staring at something that was in her hands. For the past 2 weeks, she was busy thinking. She looked back at her life and was defiantly considering leaving. Not leaving as in moving out of New York, but leaving. (For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it's suicide.) She had finally made a decision and looked at the pills…
