1 Telling Chandler
For all the times you stood by me, for all the truths that you made me see, for all the joy that you brought to my life, for all the wrongs that you made right...
My best friend, Joey has been staying in New York. Chandler, felt the sudden urge to narrate the past two months' events in his head. At our place. Monica and Chandler's place, that is. Why does he look so flushed?
"Chandler, can I talk to you in private?"
"Of course, buddy." Joey and Chandler advance into the Joey Room.
"Remember that girl I met at the reception?"
"You mean Clare? The girl you've been dating since two months?"
"Yeah Clare. We broke up."
"You mean you just stopped calling her?"
"Yeah kinda. But she's really been freaking me out lately."
"She freaked me out last week."
"She was being suspicious over you."
"Why? Does she think I'm gay? Did you not tell her Monica and I are a married couple?"
"No. She thought you might know something."
"Because, when you're gay you tend to know a thing or to?"
"OK. Is this just a big joke to you? Because I'm seriously worried about what that Clare's gonna do."
"Nono, sorry. I am taking this seriously. What do you mean, what's she gonna do?"
"Well...the more I started to date her, the more I started to realize...she wanted a serious relationship...and it was all too fast...When you told her that I usually never call girls back the next day, she went crazy..."
"Because she thought you might never call her back one day?"
"Yeah, she thought that. But it was true, obviously..."
"So she just went crazy?"
"She starting asking me for money...like two thousand dollars..."
"What?"
"Oh man, I shouldn't have told you this..."
"Why are you scared of this woman?"
"She threatened me...and it scared me..."
"How did she threaten you?"
"She threatened to hurt or even kill me, or anyone I tell this to..."
"That's insane, Joey. Why would she do anything like that? I mean, I know she scared me, but..."
"OK, I see you're not going to help me with this." He started toward the door.
"No, Joey, wait!"
Joey left, leaving the door to slam shut in Chandler's face. Chandler stood regarding the door for a moment, going over the new thoughts in his head.
For every dream you made come true, for all the life I found in you...
