Monica opened her front door. Chandler walked in with Rachel and Ross.
"Oh my god, you smell like a keg!" Monica choked as Chandler embraced her tightly. She pushed him away harshly. "What is going on?"
"We just picked Romeo here up from the slammer." Rachel said setting her purse down on Monica's counter. "Domestic disturbance." She finished. Monica looked at Chandler oddly.
"Erica's pregnant." Ross also stated. "And it's not Chandler's." Monica's mouth dropped.
"That's so horrible!" She breathed. She looked over at Chandler who was now lying down on her couch with his head buried under a pillow, mumbling.
"What did he say?" Rachel asked. All of them shrugged and went back to their conversation. "But Mon, he wanted to see you." Rachel smiled.
"Yea, he said he loves you." Ross pointed out. Monica smiled for a moment, and then frowned.
"But he's drunk, and he's vulnerable." Monica said in a harsh tone. "Is he even conscious enough to know what love is?" Monica asked. Ross and Rachel looked at one another trying to find an answer; soon Monica sighed and pushed Chandler's feet off the couch, making room for herself to sit.
"Mon, he does love you...."Rachel began.
"Not as much as I love him."
"You don't know that. Wait for him to sober up, tell him you love him too!" Ross said as if it were just that simple. Monica looked over at Chandler who looked as though he was about to throw up.
"And what if I tell him and he doesn't feel the same way? I'm going to put my heart on the line for someone who probably just wanted a cheep thrill while being on the rebound?" She asked. Both were silent. "He needs to leave." She said pointing to him.
"Where are we taking him?" Ross asked in almost a whisper.
"How about to his fiancée, she probably needs him more than I do." Monica said before going into her room. You see, Monica has always jumped into things and has only gotten hurt in the end. Chandler wasn't going to be an exception. He was drunk and requested to see her only for some fun, harmless sex, in her eyes that is. But she wanted more than that, and she just didn't think Chandlers would be one to stick around. None of the other's did...
Rachel and Ross took Chandler in a second cab back to his apartment with Erica. They really didn't know what to say, but it was Chandler's home, and he would stay there. And maybe he would be able to talk to Erica. Neither of them really knew what to do. Rachel knocked on the door with her free hand and helped support Chandler with the other. It didn't take long for Erica to answer the door, mascara stains down her cheeks. She leaped towards Chandler who was half asleep.
"Chandler, I'm so sorry! I will make it work, I will!" She began to ramble on and Rachel and Ross took Chandler in onto his couch.
"Is he going to be alright here?" Rachel asked. Erica nodded.
"He's going to be fine. I'll take care of him. Thank you both so much for bringing him back here." She said standing. Rachel smiled and Ross walked out quickly, not sure how to act toward Erica now that he knew how she really was. Both left quickly as a matter of fact.
Once in the quiet of their apartment, Erica walked back over and sat next to Chandler, who would barely look at her. His mind was clouded, and he couldn't quite remember why he was angry with her, but he knew it was bad because she seemed very upset.
"Honey, look at me." Erica coaxed. Chandler did so. "Sweetie, I never meant to hurt you. I'm so so so sorry! I love you so much, and John meant nothing to me. I am even willing to get an abortion, if that's what you want. Please, please baby, forgive me, let the wedding still be next week." She entreated. Chandler looked at her, but the only person he could think of was Monica. He may have been under the influence, but he still remembered all the stuff he had heard Monica say. He had no option.
"I forgive you."

Monica got out of her bath, and had had a long time to think things over where Chandler was concerned. Maybe he did love her; maybe he did want to be with her. She loved him so much, she was so afraid of being hurt that she didn't stop to think about how happy she could be. She finally got over herself, and decided to give Chandler a call and express how she felt. She hurried and slipped on her favorite pair of Gap Jeans a cute red top before picking up the phone.
Monica pressed the 10 digits into the phone, but hung up. She chuckled to herself remembering how she used to do that when she was a teenager. She picked up the phone again, but instead set it down because someone was knocking at the front door. Cautiously, because she lived in a bad part of town, she looked through the peephole to see Erica and Chandlers standing side by side. She stood bewildered, but opened the door.
"Hi, what are you two doing here." Monica asked. Erica smiled.
"I had to come over and apologize for how rude I have been to you. You see, before I thought of you as a threat, but now, I see you are harmless because Chandlers and I are in love, and we wanted to invite you to the wedding next week." She said tilting her head innocently. Monica looked over at Chandler, who looked away quickly.
"I guess, sure..." She said sadly. She said goodbye to the both of them and burst into tears onto her couch. He was still getting married, why had she said yes? She walked over to her radio and turned it on, crying herself to sleep...
One Word
(Verse 1)
I feel I'm going crazy,
Now that you're gone
Sitting out in the rain
Is the only place I feel sain
Look at the damage that you've done
The world walks by with me
Everything's wrong
Sitting down in the dark
Is the only way to make a mark
On the heart that you have shown
(Chorus 1)
All it takes
Is one word
For your heart to break in two
To forsake
This world
Is the only thing you can do
And it takes is one word
(Verse 2)
I saw you for the first time
Since you've been gone
You just looked away
With nothing else to say
You never got over what you'd done
Finally you looked up
It didn't take long
You came and talked to me
Like it could someday be
The way that it used to be
(Chorus 2)
All it takes
Is one word
For your heart to speak to you
You can't forsake
And this hurts
But there's nothing you can do
And all it takes is one word
(Bridge)
One word
One word
One word to make you or break you
One day
The world
With finally learn how to take you
With one word
(Verse 3)
Walking away was the hardest
Thing that I've done
But I did what I had to do
I had to leave you
And now I can see the sun
I'm getting back to my life
Taking my time
I feel I'm finally free
Cause now I finally see
What I should have known all along
(Chorus 1 & 2)
All it takes
Is one word
For your heart to break in two
To forsake
This world
Is the only thing you can do
And it takes is one word
All it takes
Is one word
For your heart to speak to you
You can't forsake
And this hurts
But there's nothing you can do
And all it takes is one word
(Final)
And all it takes...is one word
