Chapter 10
AN: First i would like to say thanks for the reviews on sticks and stones if anyone who reviewed that reads this story.
Ok Phoebe the guys is revealed in this chapter and Chandler's ex is not Janice from friends, i like Janice i have no idea why probably as me and my friends walk around school saying oh my god like Janice and we do the hands too, its not her it is a complete new character which i forgot to describe and i am meaning to spell it as Janie. Richard he is going to be in his thirties but in the show i think he would have been forty now but that just too creepy. i forgot to say thanks for when you said about Monica's comment to Ross and Rachel, i like writing those little comments.
Disclaimer: do you really think that if i owned friends i would be on here, no i would be with the cast all day
"Guess what guys" Richard said walking back to the table just as Monica and Chandler came back.
"What is it?" Ross asked
"That's not much of a guess but anyway we played your album to a few people who will help get the album around the world and they loved it," Richard said, "They reckon it that it will sell a lot and become a hit"
"Really" Monica said, everyone not completely believing what he had just said.
"Yep, I got to get back and sort a few things out now but enjoy the rest of your meal" Richard said, leaving the restaurant.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it you guys are going to be famous" Rachel said hugging Ross.
"I know" Ross said breaking the hug to kiss her.
"You guys do know that it might not be a success" Monica said
"Do you believe that?" Chandler asked
"No, you guys are defiantly going to be a success, I was just trying not to get your hopes up" Monica said
"Mon we all know they are going to make it so they should have their hopes high" Phoebe said
"I know, it's just cos it's their first album so it might not be as good as the next ones" Monica said
"Don't worry Mon we know what you're trying to say," Mark said, "I gotta call Chris and let him know" he said, walking outside.
A few minutes later the group were still hugging each other as Mark walked back in.
"His phone picked up but they was only a lot of mumbling in the background" Mark said
"That's ok, just leave him a message, if he doesn't answer to that we can see him tomorrow" Chandler said
"Ok" Mark said, going off to leave the message.
"Why aren't we going to see him now?" Joey asked
"Cos I think we should have some fun tonight and he probably wouldn't want to come with us anyway" Chandler said
"You think we should have fun, the person who has been moody for most of the day" Phoebe said
"Well yeah we got some great news today" Chandler said, looking at Monica smiling.
"So what do you have in mind?" Rachel asked
"You all gotta wait and see" Chandler said
"Why can't you tell us now?" Joey asked in a begging voice.
"It's a surprise" Chandler said
"Have we been there before?" Ross asked
"Yeah but I think it would be a good place to celebrate"
"Ok left the message, what are we going to do now?" Mark asked
"Chandler won't tell us" Joey said
"Yeah it's a surprise, come on lets go" Chandler said
"Ok why are we at a fountain at midnight?" Mark asked
"This is where we're gonna celebrate" Chandler said, the group expect for Chris was there.
"Ok so how are we going to celebrate?" Ross asked
"Well no one is around, we could play in the fountain" Chandler said
"Man that's a great idea" Joey said
"Really that's all you wanted to do was play in a fountain?" Rachel asked
"Yeah come on" Chandler said as him and Joey ran other to it and jumped straight in.
"Come guys" Joey said while slashing Chandler in the face.
"Ok" Ross and Phoebe said, running to join them.
"What about the camera you made me bring?" Mark asked Chandler
"I thought we could film this" Chandler said
"Ok, I guess I will film it as I'm the only one who knows how to use it" Mark said
"I know how to use it" Chandler said
"Yeah but I don't think you're gonna stop playing"
"Your right there" Chandler said
"Come Rach Mon" Ross said
"We're gonna help Mark with the camera" Rachel said as the turned around to look at Mark.
The guys and Phoebe whispered quickly to each other and silently left the fountain, all of them putting a finger on their lips telling Mark to stay quiet. They were right behind them when Mark said giving them a huge smile.
"You two shouldn't have turned around" Making Rachel and Monica look at each other.
Then Ross and Phoebe grabbed Rachel while Joey and Chandler grabbed Monica, picking them up and carrying them to the fountain.
"You filming this Mark" Chandler said
"Yep" Mark said holding up the camera.
"Put us down guys" Rachel and Monica said, trying to get away from their grasp.
"Nah," Chandler said, "Ok guys we go on 3"
"Why not 2?" Joey asked
"Not this again, we are going on 3 end of discussion," Chandler said, "1 2 3"
They throw Monica and Rachel into the fountain on 3.
"You guys are gonna get it" Monica said splashing them all.
"You're sure" Chandler said
"Yep" Monica said as Chandler jumped in, splashing Monica who was now dripping wet from head to toe.
They continued splashing each other and started dancing around when Mark put some music on.
"Come on Mark out the camera down and join us" Monica said
"In a sec" Mark said
He was busy thinking, I can't believe how well this worked out. I got a band with some of the greatest people ever and everyone is now happy. Well I'm not sure about Chris he sounded odd on the phone, I didn't want to worry the others but I think something is seriously wrong. I think he might have started again, I wish it's not true but I'm sure he is taking drugs again. I thought he wasn't gonna do it anymore but I guess when Rick showed up again he couldn't resist. That would explain the behaviour and always being with Rick but he promised me, he promise he would stop for me and Chandler even though Chandler has no idea.
"Come on please, you look really upset over there" Rachel said interrupting his thoughts.
"I'm fine but I'll come in now" He said putting the camera down and ran to join them.
It was early morning, the sky had started to turn red, and they were still out there playing.
They spotted Chris who was looking quite mad as he walked along the path, they stopped dancing and started calling out to him.
"Chris, Chris we got great new", all of them leaving the fountain and running over to him
"What?" He asked, sounding angry.
"We got an album recorded and they think it will be huge" Monica said
"Ok" Chris said
"What's wrong Chris you look mad?" Chandler asked
"You guys left me loads of calls in the middle of the night"
"But it was good news and we thought you should know" Chandler said
"What's wrong man?" Mark asked, worried about him.
Chris ignored the question and continued to speak to Chandler, "Well you could have waited you interrupted me and my girlfriend" he said
"I didn't know you had one," Chandler said, "What's her name?"
"Janie, you know her tall dark-haired and you dated her twice" Chris said"
"What you and Janie?" Chandler asked, "It was you that kiss her"
"Yep, it was your fault we split up as she couldn't help and feel bad about you so she came back to you" Chris said
The others noticed that he started to wave his hands around and had his fist clenched. Worried that Chris was going to hit Chandler Joey, Ross and Phoebe stood in front of him as Monica and Mark tried to tell Chris to calm down and relax.
"So she cheated on me twice with you and she has gone back to you now" Chandler said
"Yeah for now but she is gonna see you somewhere and feel sorry for you then leave me" Chris said
"That isn't my fault, I don't want her anymore," Chandler said, "I shouldn't be with some that would cheat on me and I learnt that I don't love her and that i love someone else" he said not able to help himself from looking at Monica.
"So you finally admit to Monica you love her, well Mon" He said turning to face, "He isn't going to stay with you long you know his fears, you might as well leave him now and safe yourself the trouble. He isn't good enough for you, go find someone else"
"He is good enough for me, actually his better than most guys I know" Monica said
"You need to meet more people then," He said turning back to Chandler, "You know you're useless and you ruin everything so why are you with her, you gonna ruining hers and everyone else's life. They might as well leave you now as life is hard enough already without you making it even harder" Chris ranted on.
Joey couldn't take it anymore, this guy is saying this to my friend and kissed his ex-girlfriend, now I can go through with my promise. With that thought Joey punched Chris in the face.
"Say that to Chandler ever again or anything else and you'll get a lot worse than a punch in the face"
"Come on Chandler let's get away from here" Rachel said dragging him along followed by Ross and Phoebe, all of them giving death glares to Chris.
"You say or do anything to Chandler again you have all of us to deal with" Joey said following the others.
"Why aren't you going Mon he said bad stuff to you and Chandler?" Mark asked
"As I know something is wrong with him" Monica said, looking at Chris who was lying on the floor barely conscious.
"I think he using drugs again, he did it last year but promised to stop" Mark said
"I think he is also drunk, smell his breath" Monica said
"Mark," Chris said quietly, "What happened?" He asked
"You went on ranting at Chandler about how he is useless and is going to ruin everyone's life and was telling Monica she was better off with someone else, that's pretty much it in short" Mark said
"Oh god, Monica why are you still here?" Chris asked, sitting up.
"I want to know what you're on" Monica said
"Vicodin"
"Why? Who gave you it?" Monica asked
"Rick, he gives it me to, and I tried it as he always kept bugging me to try it and I gave in" Chris said
"You drunk too, right?" Mark asked
"Yeah, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that Monica" Chris said
"I think you did and you shouldn't be saying sorry to me but to Chandler, everyone you said was directed to hurt him" Monica said
"I can't see him, I only remember what you guys told me and I still can't see him" Chris said
"You got to" Monica said
"But not now, you need to go to rehab first "Mark said
"Yeah I will, I can't believe I said stuff to hurt Chandler" Chris said as they help him stand up.
"Neither can we but we're going to take you home and that doesn't mean to college, I'm going to drive you to your parents house and then search for a rehab place nearby" Mark said
"Ok" Chris said as they walked down the path, Chris being supported by Mark and Monica.
They put him in Mark's car, when Monica grabbed Mark's arm and turned him to face her.
"You're going to stay with him aren't you" Monica said
"Yeah I can't leave him no matter what he does," Mark said, "He needs a friend and no one else will be there for him apart from me until he says sorry"
"Yeah I'm sorry we can't be friends with him but we're with Chandler, we will always be on his side"
"I know and I'm so glad we found you guys" Mark said
"I think it's the other way around, you guys have made are life amazing" Monica said
"Really we aren't even famous and we're already amazing" Mark said
"Yeah, I can't go a day without seeing you all otherwise it's terrible" Monica said
"Well I need to get going, take care of Chandler, it's a hard job but with the 5 of you, you should do just fine" Mark said, getting into the car.
"We will and take care of Chris" Monica said
"I will," Mark said, "Monica I'm glad you and Chandler are getting together, try not to let the group get too involved as they will freak him out," Monica let out a small laugh, "But I gotta say this if you ever hurt him I will hunt you down and kill you"
"Ok" Monica said
"I sounded like his older brother, didn't I" Mark said
"Yep, I'm sure my brother is gonna say that to Chandler soon" Monica said
"I better have a word with Ross then too, I will have Joey be my spy" Mark said
"Joey isn't much of a spy, he makes too much noise and he wouldn't report back to you as if Chandler did get hurt as Joey would get them on his own"
"Yeah so you got lots of pressure Mon, mess up and you have his two older brothers to deal with," Mark said, "Just in case you didn't guess me and Joey are his older brothers"
Monica let out a laugh, "Yeah I guessed, well I guess you really need to leave now, ring me when you get there"
"Bye, see you soon Mon, take care" Mark said driving off.
"Bye," Monica said waving, "He had to give me more pressure didn't he," She said to herself as she started walking home. "It's not enough that I take care of the band and everyone but no, now I had a big brother talk from Mark. Oh I see his point about the group but that's impossible they get involved in everything, I better be prepared for that freak out, he shouldn't do anything too stupid"
AN: so everyone knows who the guy is and you now all know whats been going on with Chris. the fountain bits are like the ones during the title song of friends, i just had to have them play around in that fountain as its the perfect moment
