Fifth part of my series, I hope you like it. This happens after Chandler reads the letter that Monica sent to him, telling that she was in love with him.
Disclaimer: Again... I don't own them... etc...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chandler got up from his bed, he started passing from one side to another in his bedroom. What should I do? He asked himself. He liked Monica, but now he wasn't sure if he felt something stronger than a friendship love. He tried to remember the kiss, when they kissed in her apartment, he sure felt something, but was it love, or it was just the same thing he felt with any other kiss? It had been so short and so confusing that he didn't know what to think.

Monica was sitting in the couch at her apartment. She regretted sending the letter to Chandler, but at the same time she was happy that she could let him know what she felt for him, even though it wasn't the best way, something is something.

She was waiting for him to come. Hopefully with a I love you or at least a we should try... but she wasn't sure at all what he was going to say. Maybe he isn't coming at all, she thought.

She decided to go to sleep, it has passed 1 hour and he hadn't come, so she decided to wait until he was ready.

Monica opened the door to her bedroom. Rachel was sitting in the couch with Ross.

"Hey Mon! Chandler left this message for you" Rachel said hanging her an envelop.

"Thanks, were is everyone?" Monica asked.

"Joey is at an audition, Phoebe had a client at this time and Chandler... I don't know were he is, he came, left the envelope and then he left" Ross answered.

"Ok, thanks, did you guys ate breakfast?"

"Yes, thank you..."

"Ok, I'll be in my room then, bye"

Monica entered her room and sat in the bed, she looked at the envelope with a confused look in her face. She opened it and started reading.

Dear Monica,

I'm writing back, probably I should have said good bye to you in person, but as you told me something important in a letter, I thought that I could do the same, then there would be no interruptions.

I read your letter once and again, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I couldn't believe that you felt something like that for me. How did it happen? I don't know. I only know that I felt the same way about you, but I pushed all my feelings away after you told me that best friends shouldn't be together.

I need some time to think, so probably now I'm not near, I'm going to stay in some hotel. I will be back in a week, hopefully with an answer.

I'm gonna miss you, that's for sure, but I just need some time to figure out how I feel. Nobody knows were I am and I hope that nobody finds out.

If Claire calls or asks for me, just tell her that I'm in a conference, I don't want to worry her, in case she cares.

See you in a week, your friend

Chandler Bing

Monica stared at the letter, it was not the answering she was hoping, but at least she had a chance. She was worried about Claire, she knew that Chandler loved her, but she wasn't right for him, they weren't supposed to be together. Chandler should be with me, she thought.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Everyone had asked for Chandler, everyone except Claire. Monica told everyone that Chandler had left, but she didn't tell them the real reason. She just said that something had happened and that he needed time to think.

Monica was surprised that Claire hadn't called or come, she was supposed to be back on Monday and it was Friday, nobody had heard of her. Monica thought that maybe Chandler had talked to her or something.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

THE DAY CAME, Chandler was supposed to arrived today. He had called Monica and told her to meet him in Central Park at 5:00pm. Monica tried to get something out of his mouth, she tried to make him tell her if it was god or bad news, if she was going to like it or not, but he said nothing about it.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Monica prepared herself, she said to herself that if Chandler didn't felt the same way, then she would try to hide her feelings and stay friends, but she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to do it, at least she had to try.

She was prepared for everything, from an I love you too, to an I think we should be friends.

She left the apartment around 4:45pm. She walked until she arrived to Central Park. She went to were Chandler had said her to go and sat in a bench. Suddenly she felt someone sitting next to her. She looked up and saw Chandler, with a serious face, she smiled at him but she received nothing back, she turned her face of happiness to a face of worry.

"Hey" Chandler said.

"Hi, how are you?"

"I'm fine, you?"

"Fine too, I've missed you" Monica said.

"I've missed you too" Now Chandler smiled.

She loved that smile.

"So..."

"Oh, right, ok after a lot of thinking... I've decided that..."
