Wow, all that praying must've paid off…that's right—snow day! I'm very happy. I have a billion and one things to do today, not to mention how Thursday's my big TV night…whose isn't? All my friends at school, actually… Anyway, read, review, and hopefully enjoy chapter 11!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters…u know how it goes by now.
Chandler raced into his home and made a few phone calls. After hanging up, he laughed out loud and called Joey in.
"Hey, Joey, I need you to do me a favor."
"Yeah?"
"A guy's gonna come over soon with a box…open the door and take it. Then give it to me, okay?"
"Okay…" Joey agreed, baffled by Chandler's words.
Chandler smiled and reassured him, "It'll make sense in no time."
Once Joey left, Chandler began to nervously pace his room, waiting for the doorbell to ring.
"Oh please get here before Kathy," he prayed silently.
After an hour, the doorbell rang. A few moments later, Joey brought the box to Chandler.
"Here's the box…what's in it?"
"You'll see soon, don't worry."
Joey left and Chandler went through the box.
Noticing it was exactly what he needed, he pushed it under his bed and waited for Kathy to return.
"Monica?" Rachel questioned when she entered their apartment, noticing her friend's dazed look, "What's wrong?"
Not quite believing it herself, she answered, "Chandler came."
Thinking he broke it off with her, Rachel sympathized, "I'm so sorry hun."
"Actually," Monica continued, "He told me…he's breaking up with Kathy…for me."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, that's great!"
"Yeah."
"What's the matter then?"
"What if Kathy refused to go? Or what if Chandler decides he can't be with me, or…?"
Rachel cut her off, "Don't think of the 'what ifs' now. Think of the fact that you may be getting what you've wanted for so long."
Monica smiled slightly, and tried taking Rachel's advice. However, she could not completely rid herself of the nagging voice in the back of her head.
"Chandler?" Kathy called as she entered his house.
"I'm in here," he replied from his study.
Kathy entered and gave him a hug, "Thanks for letting me go shopping."
"You're welcome."
"So," Kathy ventured, beginning to get suspicious again, "What did you do all day?"
"Kathy, I'm not gonna lie to you—I've done a lot of thinking."
"Yeah?"
"And I want to change my life."
"Well…ok," Kathy answered, confused.
"And in my new life," he continued causally, "There's no room for liars, cheaters, and heartbreakers."
Kathy nodded, seemingly understanding.
Bluntly, Chandler said, "What that means is, there's absolutely no room for you, Kathy."
"What?" Kathy questioned, stunned.
"Well, you fall under all of those categories, do you not?"
"I…" she began, but was cut off.
"You lied to me all time—telling me that you loved me and I was your only one, when you were cheating on me. Which, in turn, makes you a cheater. You broke my heart when you left me, Kathy. I don't want that anymore. I don't want you."
"But…"
"If you would please leave," Chandler insisted, hoping not to have to resort to drastic measures.
"No! I'm not leaving and you cannot get rid of me! This is because of that cook, isn't it?"
"It's not, it's about you ruining my life," he retorted, "And if it was about her, why would you care?"
"Because I'm your girlfriend!"
"No you're not! All you want is my money! I'm not your personal bank, Kathy! Find some other sucker! This ship has sailed."
"I'm not leaving," Kathy said calmly.
Chandler sighed, "I didn't want to have to do this…" He then called Joey in. "Joey, go under my bed and bring that box that was delivered to me earlier, please."
Obediently, Joey went to Chandler's room and brought the box out to him.
"What's in there?" Kathy asked nervously.
"Oh, nothing you've never seen before," Chandler taunted.
"Tell me what's in there!" Kathy demanded.
"If you insist," he replied and took a videotape out of the box.
Joey watched from the corner, curiously, as Chandler placed the videotape into the VCR and a picture came up on the screen.
"Is that a security camera video?" Joey questioned.
Casually, Chandler answered, "Yes it is, my friend."
"Chandler!" Kathy warned, noticing what the tape it was. Although she wanted to hit him and steal the tape, she was well aware that Chandler's house was equipped with a state of the art security system. All of her actions would be caught on tape. Instead, she stayed in the same place, hoping Chandler would quit whatever game he was playing with her.
"Look what I found lying around…" Chandler smiled confidently.
"How'd you get that?"
"I have my ways…and there are many more where that came from."
Joey gasped as he continued to watch the video. There was Kathy, filling her bag with stolen goods.
"You still wanna hang around?" Chandler asked.
"I can't believe you!" she screamed.
"I think that the police would be very interested in what I possess."
"Are you blackmailing me?"
"Don't you know it!"
"What do you want from me?"
"I won't tell the police, and neither will Joey, if you leave my life, forever."
Not having any other option, Kathy relented, "Fine."
"That means," Chandler continued, "You are not to come anywhere near me, my business, my property, or anyone linked to me."
"Okay," Kathy huffed.
She reached her hands out for the tapes. He handed them to her, as she held grabbed them.
"Oh, and I can get more of those tapes whenever I want, so don't think of ruining them and coming back to me."
Angrily, Kathy left the apartment.
Chandler sighed, "She's gone!" he rejoiced.
"Wow," commented Joey, "That was impressive!"
"I know. I even surprised myself."
"She's finally gone!" Joey sang happily.
Chandler smiled back at him and informed him ecstatically, "Okay, I'm off to see Monica!"
"Go get her, man!"
Chandler ran out of the apartment and raced towards hers.
Excitedly, Chandler knocked on Monica's door. He could not help but hop up and down, waiting anxiously for Monica to answer the door.
Rachel opened up the door and eyed him, "Calm down there, bunny."
Chandler smiled sarcastically at her joke, and asked, "Is Monica around?"
"I'm right here," Monica answered as she exited from her bedroom.
"Monica…" he breathed. He walked towards her until they were only a few inches away from each other.
"I'll just leave you two alone," Rachel remarked, mostly to herself, as she grabbed her purse and exited the apartment.
Not moving his eyes from hers, Chandler informed her, "Kathy's gone."
Monica, also not breaking eye contact answered, "Yeah?"
"Yeah."
Chandler took her hands lightly in his and began to caress them with his thumbs.
"I want to be with you," he stated whole-heartedly.
"I want to be with you, too," Monica replied nervously, "But before I am, I need to know something."
"Anything."
"Remember when we were walking in Central Park a while ago; before the whole 'Kathy incident'?"
"Yeah?"
"What did you mean when you told me to face my past?"
"What?"
"You told me to face my past…what did you mean?!" she was irritated at the fact that she could not figure out what he was talking about.
"I meant that there was a lot locked up tight in your heart that you never talk about. I'm right though aren't I?"
Monica looked away, tears forming in her eyes. "I want to face them."
"Then talk to me," he offered sincerely, hands still entwined within hers.
Monica looked down at their hands and sighed. It had been a while since she talked about her previous relationship. She had forced herself to forget about it. However, although, she rarely thought about it, she truly did not forget. It was obvious in her eyes.
"Well…" she began, "I had this boyfriend…Pete." She stopped and tears began to run down her face. Chandler let go of her hands and pulled her close to him. Monica cried on his shoulder, as the memories flooded her mind.
Ding dong, the witch is dead! I've been getting a lot of reviews to get rid of her, but I was already planning on doing that. I would never leave Chandler with a bitch like her. Well, that was Chapter 11; I hope u enjoyed it. Please leave a review!:)
