Here is a new story. I hope you like it. Please review

Monica was UN packing her stuff in her new house that she had just bought with her two kids. 13 year old Jackson and 7 year old Hannah. She wanted to get a house that was closer to her job and to her kids' schools. After searching, she found the perfect one and bought it.

"Who is this guy mom?" Jackson asked as he looked through a box of a pictures.

Monica walked over and looked in the box.

"Ooh he was mommy's boyfriend." Hannah said when she saw a picture of the two of them kissing at prom.

"How come you never told us about him?" Jackson asked.

Monica sighed. "We dated for 3 years in high school. His name was Chandler Bing." She smiled.

"Wow, that's a long time. Why did you break up?" Jackson asked. He was full of questions.

Monica ran her finger over the picture, put it in the box and put it on the top shelf of her closet. "We broke up a couple weeks after graduation. He joined the army and had to move away."

"Were you sad?" Hannah asked.

Monica frowned at the memory. "Very." She smiled at her kids. "It's ok though. The next year, I met your daddy and now I have you two." She kissed them both. "I'm going to go finish UN packing." She said and walked away.

"She really misses him. I wish we could get him back for her." Hannah pointed out.

Jackson looked down at his sister. "I think maybe we can." He knelt down in front of her. "But you can't say anything. You need to keep this a secret so it can be a surprise. "Ok?"

Hannah smiled and nodded her head.

While Monica finished the last box, the thought of her and Chandler breaking up was going through her head.

Monica couldn't wait for college to start in the fall. She and Chandler had gotten into the same college and she couldn't be more excited. She smiled when she saw him come into her room.

"Hey baby." She walked over to him and kissed him. When she pulled away, she could see the sadness in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

He held her hand and walked over to her bed with her and sat down. "I need to tell you something."

"You're scaring me. What's going on?" She just wanted him to tell her and get it over with.

He looked down at their intertwined hands and then back at her. "I know you had your heart sat on us going to college and I did too, trust me but I am on the waiting list at that school for the next year before I can start."

Monica cut him off from talking. "Then I'll wait a year with you."

He shook his head. "Monica, I joined the army today and I leave next week for boot camp in North Carolina for the next 6 months and then there is a good change I will be shipped off after that."

Monica could feel the tears build up in her eyes before falling down her face. "Chandler how could you do this?"

He touched her face. "Honey, they will pay for my college and this will be a good thing for my future."

She looked away from him. "I can't be one of those girlfriends. I don't want to worry every day if you're going to come home or not."

He rubbed her back. "And I can't be over there worried about you here or get married to you and miss out on our kids' lives that we will have."

She just looked at him. "What are you saying?"

"I think we should break up." He said softly.

Monica cried just thinking about that day. That was the last time she had seen the love of her life. She wiped her tears away and put the last empty box by the trash. She walked into Jackson's room and found both of her kids there. "We are all UN packed now. Do you guys want to go out to eat tonight?"

"Yes." They both said excitedly.

Monica laughed. "Ok come on guys." She got her keys, her purse and then they left.

That night when they were supposed to be sleeping, Hannah snuck into Jackson's room.

"Jacky, did you find Chandler for mommy?" She asked as she climbed onto his bed.

"I think I did on the computer. Tomorrow I am going to see if it's him." He whispered.

"How?" She asked.

"I am going to go to his apartment. The internet says it's only 5 minutes from here. I'll just tell mom I am going to Anthony's." He said referring to his best friend.

Hannah's face lit up. "Can I come?"

"No Hannah, I need you to stay here and keep mommy busy and don't tell her what I am doing so it can be a surprise, ok?" He held out his pinky for a pinky promise.

She pinky promised him. "Ok Jacky, I won't tell mommy." She hugged him. "I hope this works."

He smiled. "Don't worry Hannah. You saw the pictures. He really loved mom. I'm sure he'll come back." He looked at his clock. "It's late Han. You should get back to bed." He laid his head on the pillow.

"Ok." She kissed his cheek and left.
