Hey guys!! Thank you to all those people who reviewed... "keep em'
comin'!!" Heehee! Anyway...here is Chapter 3!! Hope ya like it!
(Monica slowly stirred and looked around the room she was in, and she sits up quickly and looks to her side, sees Chandler and gasps. For a few minutes she just sits there staring at Chandler and suddenly he starts stirring. He opens one of his eyes, sees Monica staring at him and sits up quickly)
Chandler: Monica!
Monica: Hello...Chandler.(smiles a bit to him and he smiles back)
Chandler: How did ya sleep?
Monica: Perfectly!
cuts to a few minutes later, and we see Monica sitting in Chandler's kitchen and then he comes out of the room they were in before and sits down beside her.
Chandler: Sooo...about last night...
Monica: Yeah...um...I guess I was just caught in the moment or something...forget it...I'm sorry.
Chandler: Forget it(he looks a BIT hurt/sad, but he's trying to hide it...and monica doesn't notice it anyway) ...right. Uumm...yeah...I'm sorry?
Monica: Not your fault...(looks down at her watch) Oh no! I gotta go...so...umm...bye.
Chandler: Bye.
(Monica gets up and walks out the door and Chandler groans and puts his head on in his arms on the table. The song Caught in the Middle by A1 is playing and we see different shots...)
cuts to Monica walking back and forth watching "people cooking"(hehe) and stuff like that...*but she looks like she's not really paying attention*
(song)
cuts to Chandler who is sitting in an office somewhere, staring into space, and we KNOW he's thinking about Monica
(song)
cuts to a few days later, Monica and Chandler are sitting in a park somewhere talking and laughing, but after a while they stop and look away at different things
(then suddenly on the screen we see One Month Later and we see Monica in the airport and it looks like she's about to board the plane[but she's in the end of the long line by that ticket checking thing] but suddenly Chandler runs up to her)
Monica: Chandler!! I was worried I wasn't going to see you!
Chandler: Monica...I wasn't exactly planning to come but-
Monica: Then why did you?
Chandler: I have to tell you something...about that night we had...
Monica: Chandler-
Chandler: Monica!! Listen to me...I-I-I think I have feelings for you...
(Monica stares at Chandler, tears brimming in her eyes)
Monica: Chandler-please, no. I'm married!! Dont you understand? I cheated on my husband-that's not a good thing...(says this next part like she doesn't really mean it) I love Nick-he's a good guy...sometimes. I mean...all couples fight...!
Chandler: But Mon-
Monica: I'm sorry Chandler...
(by this time she's already reached the ticket checking and she hands the ticket to the woman and the woman sticks it in the machine and hands that little paper thingy back to her and says 'have a good flight' and Monica starts walking. When she gets a bit passed the door of the pass over thing she turns around)
Monica: goodbye Chandler...(waves a bit and gives him a sad smile and turns around and starts to walk)
Chandler: Monica... I love you!!!
(Monica stops, and we cut to her face and we see one tear roll down her face, but she then starts walking again, and we go to Chandler's view and we see him watching Monica walk away and the lady closing the door)
Chandler: (whispering) I love you...
(we see Monica sitting in the air plane, looking out the window, crying.) Monica(v/o): I didn't know what to do...and I didn't know what to say...I cant leave my husband-well I could, but I wouldn't have the guts to tell him I was leaving him for someone else-and what would my kids think?
cuts to Chandler who's walking away from the gate slowly
Chandler(v/o): I never thought I would have been able to say it-but right when I did get the courage to say it, she walks away and out of my life...I never will get my chance I guess...she loves Nick-not me. But I'll always remember that night...forever.
On the screen we see the words 2 months later and it goes to Monica's house in New York and we see her on the phone but she's pretty quiet and so we know it's still ringing
Monica: come on...pick up mom...pick up!
Judy G: Hello?
Monica: MOM!!
Judy G: Monica?? Well this is a surprise...
Monica: Yeah...well...I just called to ask you a question...
Judy G: Oh okay-but how is my son in law and my grandchildren?
Monica: Uuummm...they're okay.
Judy G: Good. Well...what did you want to ask me?
Monica: Have you heard from Ross??
Judy G: (we can tell by her voice that she's kinda shocked because lets say she knew[of course] about the fight) From Ross? Well...actually yes I have...why?
Monica: I need either is address or his number...!!
Judy G: Uumm...well...this is a surprise...wow. OKay...I have his phone number...hold on.(pause-coz she's gone to find it and then she comes back and gives Monica Ross' number)
Monica: Thanks Mom!! (hangs up smiling and then dials in the number that her mom gave her and waits)
Little kids voice: Hewo...!!!!
Monica: (confused) Um...hi. Does Ross Geller live here?
Little kid: Uhuh...he's my daddy!!
Monica: Oh...who's your mommy??
Little Kid: Who are you?
Monica: What ever...just give the phone to your dad if he's there...
Little Kid: FINE lady!(off phone) DDDDDDDDDDDDAAAADYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHONE!
(a few seconds later Ross answers)
Ross: Hello?
(Monica stays quiet not knowing what to say)
Ross: Helllllllllloooooo??
Monica: Hi...Ross...it's Monica.
(fades out for a while, but then fades back in...and now there's a split screen. Ross is one and Monica in the other(duh!) Anyway-Ross is looking really shocked and Monica looks kinda scared...)
Ross: MONICA?!?!?!
Monica: Uuuummm...yeah.
Ross: How the HELL did you get my number?!
Monica: I asked mom for it...
Ross: Okay then...what do you want?
Monica: Weeellll...I wanted to tell you that I was sorry.
Ross: For WHAT?
Monica: For anything I ever said that hurt you in any way...
Ross: Monica...that was 10 years ago!!!
Monica: I know...but I only came to notice now that I need you guys...a lot.
(Ross gets this "touched" look)
Ross: Uuhh...well...okay.
Monica: Okay what?
Ross: I forgive you-but only if you for give me
Monica: Rooosss...I forgave EVERYONE long ago...
Ross: All right then.
Monica: Uh-huh...(pauses)...Um...who was that little kid? She didn't seem to like me much...
Ross: (laughs) That's my daughter...!!
Monica: Really?? How many kids do you have??
Ross: 3 girls...can you believe that?! All girls!
Monica: Oooh...that's great!
Ross: Bout you?
Monica: Oh...I've got one boy and one girl...so 2 kids.
Ross: At least you got a boy!
(Monica laughs)
Ross: Sooo...what's your husbands name...do I know him?
Monica: (she gets this look like she doesn't want to talk about it, but she still answers Ross' question) Oh...no you dont know him-his names Nick. Bout you? Please dont tell me you're divorced again...(laughs)
Ross: (annoyed) Nooo...this time it lasted...(laughs)
Monica: Well...what's her name?!
Ross: Okay...dont take this bad or something-but um...me and Rachel got back together...and well...we're married now.
Monica: WWHHHHAAATTTT?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
(Ross looks scared)
Ross: Yeah, well we would have called you but you like hated us or something...and well, we didn't have your number...
MOnica: Yeah well MOM DID!
Ross: Oh come on Mon...please dont get mad!!
Monica: Okay...fine...I'm just mad that I didn't get to see you two get married-but I'm still amazed...
(Ross smiles)
Ross: Sooooo...what made you finally want to call me...?
Monica: Well...can we meet up sometime? It'll be hard to explain over the telephone...
Ross: Oh yeah...definitely!!!
(We can suddenly see Rachel walk up from off the screen to Ross and put her arms around Ross)
Rachel: Who are you talking to Rooosss?
Monica; Rachel!!
(Ross hands a confused Rachel the phone)
Rachel: Hello? Who is this?
Monica: Rach!! It's me!
Rachel: Who's ME?
Monica: Monica?
Rachel: WHAT?!(hands the phone back to Ross)
Ross: hello?
Monica: Hello? Ross?! What happened to Rachel?
Ross: Well she ran off somewhere-I dont know...I'll talk to her...
(Mon looks kinda sad)
Monica: All right...hey...where are you exactly??
Ross: Oh riight...we live in New Jersey...
Monica: New Jersey...all right, then it wont be that easy to "come by" but I can still drive there-I still live in boring ol' New York...I have so much to tell you Ross!! Anyway...I need your address...I'm driving over there as soon as possible...kay?
Ross: Sure...
(it fades out with Ross telling Monica his address and Monica smiling and writing it down)
*the next day* Lets say that Monica and her husband are not really in talking terms so when her husband left to work she explained to the kids that she would go to Ross' for a few days and then left them there to catch their bus-and she told them to explain to Nick. So anyway, Monica drove off and found the house blah blah blah! Now she's infront of the front door and she's really excited. She rings the doorbell and waits...and after a while a litle girl opens it.
Little girl: Hi...who are you?
Monica: Are you the one that answered the phone??
Little girl: YOUU!!! MOOOOOMMMMYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(runs into the house and comes back in a while dragging Rachel behind her. Rachel catches sight of Monica and just stares at her and Monica stares back)
Monica: Hey Rach...
Rachel: (stiffly) Hello Monica.
Little girl: Mooommmmyy...you KNOW this person??
Rachel: Yeah...she's daddy's sister...so she's your aunt.
Little girl: Ooohh...(to Monica) so you weren't trying to kidnap me?
Monica: (smiles a bit) No I wasn't little one...
(the little girl runs off and Rachel and Monica still are standing where they were before)
Monica: Sooo...
Rachel: Yeah...sorry...come in.
(Monica walks in slowly with the one bag that she brought)
Rachel: Let's go sit in the kitchen...(notices only the ONE bag) You only brought ONE bag?
Monica: Yeah...I wanted to leave my house as soon as possible...
Rachel; why?
(they're now in the kitchen, and they're sitting across from each other at a table)
Monica: Well...(suddenly they hear the front door open and after a few minutes Ross walks into the kitchen)
Ross: MONICA!!!!!!
Monica: (getting up) Hey Ross!!(they hug)
Ross: it's great to see you!!
Monica: Yeah...I know...you too.
Ross: Sooo...what did you want to talk about?? The other two girls are still at school and we have some time to talk...(goes and sits down beside Rachel) Hey sweetie...(kisses her quickly)
Monica: All right...time...that's what I need...first-I'd like to apologise- again. Especially to you Rach...I need your forgiveness...please? I'm sorry for anything I did or said to you those days...all right? Will you please not hate me forever?
(Ross and Monica look at Rachel, waiting for her answer)
Rachel: (her eyes welling up with tears) Of course I forgive you Mon!! You're my best friend!!
(Monica is kinda confused)
Monica: I thought you like hated me or something...how can I suddenly be your best friend?? You seemed so angry yesterday on the phone...
Rachel: Yeah...well...I was just so shocked to hear you-and I was angry about all that stuff that we said to each other during the fight...and well- after I ran off, I had time to think, and it suddenly came to me that I had already forgiven everyone of you guys right when I forgave Ross.
(Monica has tears in her eyes)
Monica: thanks Rach...
Rachel: I'm sorry Mon...
(Monica just nods, and they get up and hug each other-and Ross-heehee-he's just sitting there, watching happily. The two girls sit back down.)
Rachel: Sooo...tell us what's been up Mon!!
Monica: Well...about a year after we all...split up-I met this guy, and we dated for a year, but I got pregnant while we were still going out, so he proposed. And now the boy I had-Bryan...he's nine. And then there's Mandy- who's 5. And well...my husbands name is Nick...he's a lawyer. Anyway, I guess you could say my life WAS perfect, but it's starting to slowly go down the drain...and I hate it. We always fight-anything we talk about always ends in a fight; staying late at work, almost never spending time with the kids and everything you can possibly think of. Anyway...a while a go, I had to go to Chicago to do something for my work-I had to stay there for a month-and while I was there I bumped...okay, crashed...and by crashed I mean walking in different directions right at each other and BUMPING into each other---but anyway, the person I bumped into was non other than Chandler!!!
Ross/Rachel: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!/WHAT?!?!?
Monica: Yeaahhh...and well we started spending time together, you know, and well one day we kinda kissed-and well one thing led to another and well-I told him to forget about it and that I was married and had 2 children...for the rest of the month we still saw each other, but things were pretty weird. Anyway, then when I was about to board the plane, he came and told me that he loved me-and well, now I'm confused. It must have taken lots of gut for Chandler to actually say that to someone-and yes, I will admit after that "night" I thought about him more than I normally would-but if I choose him over my husband and get a divorce-my kids will get affected...and at such a young age!
Rachel: Oh my god Monica! That's terrible!
(Monica nods sadly)
Monica: What should I DO??
Ross: Well why dont you think-'who would I be more happier with?' and 'Who do I love more?' Okay...answer these one by one...who would you be happier with??
Monica: I dont know...
Rachel: All right Mon...who would you be happier with?
Monica: Well...Nick is the father of my children, but well, we've been fight so much lately, and I'm always the one to blame...
Rachel: Okay...so....Chandler?
Monica: Uuummm...I guess?
Rachel: All right...who do you love more?
Monica: How can I answer that?!?! I've been with Nick for 10 years and I was with Chandler for 1 night but I cant stop thinking of him!!!
Ross: You just gave us your answer!!
Monica: Huh??
Rachel: Well...you said that you were with Chandler for 1 night but you cant strop thinking about him and you've been with Nick for 10 whole years!
Monica: Oh my god...!!! I love Chandler?!?!?!
Ross/Rachel: I guess.../there you go!
Monica: B-b-b-but the children?? How can I do this to them? Nick might not be around much, but I'm sure they still love him...(groans)
Rachel: I think that would be for you to decide.
Monica: Hhmmm...yeah. Thanks anyway guys...
(they just stare at each other for a while)
Ross: So have you heard from either Joey or Phoebe?
Rachel: Ya I know! I really wanna see them again-
(Rachel and Ross keep talking but Monica at one of the walls and is thinking hard)
Monica: (v/o) I cant believe it was that easy just to decide that I love someone that is not my husband...but somehow it feels right. How do I tell this to Nick? And how do I explain this to my children? And even worse-how can I face Chandler after just walking off after he, "the love of my life" was yelling 'I love you' to me? I do love him...I just need to sort this out...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Hi there everyone! This chapter was a bit longer than the last one...and I've put in lots of info about the story and well, I got in Chandler(duh), Rachel and Ross...now I have to fit in Phoebe and Joey somehow!!

So keep those reviews coming...no flames please. Go REVIEW now!! Bye.

Monica: Oh my god...!!! I love Chandler?!?!?!
Ross/Rachel: I guess.../there you go!
Monica: B-b-b-but the children?? How can I do this to them? Nick might not be around much, but I'm sure they still love him...(groans)
Rachel: I think that would be for you to decide.
Monica: Hhmmm...yeah. Thanks anyway guys...
(they just stare at each other for a while)
Ross: So have you heard from either Joey or Phoebe?
Rachel: Ya I know! I really wanna see them again-
(Rachel and Ross keep talking but Monica at one of the walls and is thinking hard)
Monica: (v/o) I cant believe it was that easy just to decide that I love someone that is not my husband...but somehow it feels right. How do I tell this to Nick? And how do I explain this to my children? And even worse-how can I face Chandler after just walking off after he, "the love of my life" was yelling 'I love you' to me? I do love him...I just need to sort this out...
