HI everybody!! Aaw, thank you so much to everybody who reviewed to the last
chapter-it means so much to me!! Heehee...Well...I dont have anything else
to say, so go read this next chapter now...here it is:
We left off with Chandler sitting up in bed after having his dream about Monica. He gets up quickly and throws open his closet. He pulls out a bag and starts throwing things into it. Clothes and everything. After the bag is full, he runs out of his room and finds a piece of paper. He scribbles something and puts his bag softly down on the floor. He walks into Melanie's room quietly and puts the note beside her bed. He watches her sleeping for a while and then leans down and kisses her on her forehead. He's crying softly, just watching her. He then turns away, his face looking very sad. He then slowly walks to the door and right before he walks out he barely whispers "I Love You" and then leaves, closing the door quietly behind him.
The Next Day
(Melanie slowly gets up, making up her mind to go and speak with her dad about their conversation last night. When she gets up, she notices a piece of paper lying on her bedside table. She didn't remember it from before, so she slowly picks it up and reads it. She begins to cry half way, and quickly gets up. She runs out of her room and checks around the apartment. Nobody is there. She picks up the phone and dials in a number.)
Melanie: (she's crying) Hello...? Aunt Rachel...it's Melanie...(pauses and begins to cry harder) He's gone.
We fade away from her and go to the note in her hand. On it we can read:
My dearest Melanie,
I hope you know that I love you very much. You are one of my only reasons for living. But I can't seem to handle life properly now, and I dont want to end up hurting you and bringing you down with me. I will always love you, and maybe one day, when the time is right, I will get to see you just one more time.
With all the love I can give right now,
You dad.
~fades to R&R's later on. Melanie is sitting on the couch, crying very hard.~
Melanie: I never expected it...I'm honest...(sighs) I should have listened to him...he does need to handle this on his own...and this has pointed it out...AH! This is ALL my fault!! It was my idea to work through this together!!!
Rachel: No honey...it was a good idea...but you should know that this is very hard for your father...
Melanie: I know...it just never came to me before...I feel terrible...I practically shooed my father away...he doesn't want me anymore...!
Rachel: No! Please...dont say that...he does want you-he loves you...just give him some time...you can stay here with us...as long as it takes him...
Melanie: thank you Aunt Rachel...thank you.
~fades out~
Time Lapse: 1 month
(We fade into the streets of NY, and we see Melanie walking in the streets. We see her arrive at the prison where Joey is. She walks into the building and we fade out again. We fade in again after to her talking to Joey)
Joey: Melanie...what are you doing here? I thought you weren't allowed to see me...
Melanie: (flinches) I live with Aunt Rachel and Uncle Ross now...my dad left.
Joey: (turns to face her for the first time since she came in) What?
Melanie: My dad left me. He just left me a note...and well, left.
Joey: Oh god...no!
(Melanie nods. Joey turns away from her, tears falling from his eyes)
Joey: I'm sorry I ruined your life Melanie...I'm so sorry...I just-couldn't help it...I didn't want to go to jail...I was scared...it had never come to me that I had betrayed Chandler when I put the blame on him...I was too messed up at that time...and I still am now. But now I know how Chandler must have felt...he felt betrayed...and now I've betrayed him too...and also you, Mel.
(Melanie flinches when he calls her Mel and turns to him with this look as if saying 'Dont call me that!!')
(Joey just nods when she gives him that look)
Joey: I'm sorry...
~fades out~
[I'm sorry...I really dont want to rush this, but this story is getting WAY to long...so I'm just going to skip a year or two and try to end it...this is the second to the last chapter anyway...]
~2 years later~
(Melanie is now...I think 15. She of course is still living with R&R and Emma.)
(we fade into R&R's place. Rachel and Ross are sitting by the kitchen table, watching Mel and Emma laughing about something on TV)
Rachel: (whispering) It's been exactly two years Ross...do you think he's ever going to come back?
Ross: (whispering too) I dont know Rach...she's gotten way better than she was before...but I do know that she really needs him back...
Rachel: I think he's being very selfish...
Ross: Rach...we've gone over this...Chandler was very depressed...and you know he left for Melanie's sake...he didn't want to hurt her...
Rachel: I know but...oh god, I miss him so much...and I'm really sure she does too.
(Ross nods and we fade out. We go to this other apartment somewhere. And we see a man sitting on a couch, but we only see him from behind. We get closer to the man and see that it's Chandler. He's looking down at something and crying,, but we dont know what it is. After a while, he gets up and grabs a jacket that was lying beside him. He puts the thing he was looking at down and walks towards the door. He gets something lying on a table in a small kitchen and walks out the door, slamming it shut behind him. We go to the couch and look at the thing he was holing; it was a picture of Melanie. We fade out to him in a car, the picture still very faint in the background. The picture then fades away completely. Chandler is driving the car in the streets. We see it's Chicago. He looks down at something and presses a button. A song that was playing on the radio starts up and Chandler looks back to the road in front of him. As the song plays, he gets a sad look.)
Montage: Hailie's Song by Eminem
[I'm going to type up the important parts of the song-the parts that actually go with this fic...some other parts I will skip. When I do this *~~~* in bold, that means I skipped a part there. I'm also going to skip out the major cuss words-sorry!]
Sometimes I sit
Staring out the window
Watching this world pass me by
Sometimes I think
There's nothing to live for
I almost break down and cry
Sometimes I think I'm crazy
I'm crazy oh so crazy
Why am I here?
Am I just wasting my time?
But when I see my baby
Suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes...
Flashback: (every time there's a flashback, there's a white flash of light, and it's a mime thing-no talking) When Melanie was born. Chandler is in a waiting room, all freaked out. Suddenly a doctor walks out and says something to Chandler. Chandler jumps up and follows the doctor. The doctor brings him into a room here Monica is. He kisses Monica over the head and says something. She smiles. Suddenly a nurse walks in, holding a little wrapped bundle[the baby] she hands it to Chandler and Chandler takes it gingerly. He takes the cover off her face and looks down at her, a cute look on his face. He kisses her slowly on the forehead, staring at her lovingly, holding her close. He then looks up from the baby and looks at Monica, who is smiling at the two of them together... (end of flashback- white flash again)
Sometimes it feels like the worlds on my shoulders
Everyone's leaning on me
Cause sometimes it feels like the worlds almost over
But then she comes back to me...
*Chandler looks down at the radio, a tear falling down his cheek. He looks back up and gets this look. He stops the car and does a quick U-turn. We hear car horns beeping as he speeds back to his apartment. When he gets there, he parks the car quickly and runs out. He runs inside his apartment and starts throwing clothes into a bag.
Chandler: (V/O) It has been two years...two freaking years...I have been such an ass! My daughter has been needing me for two whole years...and I have been sitting here not doing anything but moping around feeling sorry for myself! I have missed two years of my babies life-heck, she's not even my baby anymore! My baby girl
Keeps getting older
I watch her grow up with pride
People make jokes
Cause they dont understand me
They just dont see my real side
I act like s- dont face me
Inside it drives me crazy
My insecurities could eat me alive
But then I see my baby
Suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh no
Chandler runs out with two duffel bags and runs back into his car. He throws in the bags and speeds off. We then fade out with the chorus-but we'll fade back in later with a other part of the song...
Sometimes it feels like the worlds on my shoulder
Everyone's leaning on me
Cause sometimes it feels like the worlds almost over
But then she comes back to me
~fades out, but then fades back in with a time lapse of a couple of hours. Lets say it's midnight.. We see R&R's apartment...and somebody suddenly starts pounding on the door. Ross comes out of his room, a confused expression on his face. Melanie also comes out of a room and follows Ross to the door. As Ross unlocks the door he's muttering to Melanie about what kind of crazy person would bang on the door at midnight. Melanie's just nodding. Ross then opens the door at a crack and looks out. He gasps slightly and swings the door open. Melanie, who at first couldn't see who was outside gasps too. She then runs up and hugs the person, sobbing. It's Chandler.~
And now it dont feel like the worlds on my shoulders
And everyone's leaning on me
Cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier
Nothing can take her from me...
(this next part is just "talked" not sang)
Remember when I said...
If you ever need anything...
Daddy would be right there...
Well, guess what?
Daddy's here...
And I aint going no where baby...
I love you.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Well hey guys!! What's sup!!?? Well, there is chapter 12! Yay! This is the second to the last chapter-the next chapter WILL be the last....*sob*! Well...I'll only put up the next chapter if I get a lot of reviews...so press that button down there and RREEVIEEWW!!!!
Wasn't that song so sad? I almost cry when ever I listen to it!! It's by Eminem(like I said before) and is dedicated to his daughter Hailie. I actually skipped the rap part of that song since it's like dissing the mom of Hailie and stuff...and that doesn't really go with the story...so yeah...the parts I wrote up are actually SANG...it's not a RAP...so I really like that song(
