Hey everybody! I have decided to continue this one today! I'm so glad you
all like it, and I hope you enjoy this part!!
~I'll be §eeing Ýou~
Rachel: Monica? (pause) But-but...........how? How could this be? You're..............dead.
Vanessa/Monica: (looks away, tears in her eyes) It's a long story..........
Rachel: Where have you been all this time? Do your parents know about you .............alive?
Vanessa/Monica: No. I'm not allowed to tell them. (sighs) You see, that day when I went shopping, I only witnessed the shooting, and the murder of the people they were really after. They never caught the guys, and well, for 'my safety' they put me under the witness protection program...........and told everybody I was dead.
Rachel: That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard! They cant just go around and tell your loved ones that you're dead if you're still perfectly FINE.
Vanessa/Monica: It WAS for my safety..............
Rachel: Where the hell did you live?
Vanessa/Monica: I lived with another witness about my age in an apartment in downtown New York......they provided schooling for us too.
Rachel: Are you serious?
Vanessa/Monica: Well yeah........I mean, we cant exactly afford a apartment or schooling........
Rachel: (looks down) I missed you so much............when are you ever going to come home?
Vanessa/Monica: Could be tomorrow......could be in a year.......or I could never go home.
Rachel: Never?
Vanessa/Monica: It really depends on if they catch the guy or not...........
Rachel: I dont get it........why would he want to kill YOU?
Vanessa/Monica: it's not that complicated. I saw the whole thing, I saw how he looked. I told the police, and he is now wanted, and they know everything about his facial features and stuff. I helped with most of it, and I'm not his number one target.
Rachel: Is that why you dyed your hair?
Vanessa/Monica: (she looks over at the picture frames and stares at them for a while) I didn't want to.........but they forced me too. (she turns to Rachel, tears now pouring down her face) I never thought my life would turn out like this.........I'm being pushed around, and I cant do anything without being watched. My life is ruled my other people. It's so unfair!
Rachel: vaness----Monica, everything is going to be fine. You just wait and see. (they sit in silence for a while, staring at each other)
(fades out, but then fades back in again)
Vanessa/Monica: Hey Rachel? You can tell anybody about this..........or else they'll send me away again......and change my name.
Rachel: Are you serious?
Vanessa/Monica: Yes.
(silence. They just stare at each other)
Rachel: how does it feel trying to act and be somebody else?
Vanessa/Monica: It sucks. I just want my old life back.......I dont get what's so hard about that! (she gets up and starts walking. She walks over to Rachel's picture frames and looks down at them. She touches the one of her and Rachel lightly and then turns to Rachel, her face stained with tears) I've missed you Rachel............not one day would pass by when I didn't think of you.
Rachel: Me neither Monica. The first thing I thought about at graduation was you.........and if you were (pause) watching down on me.............
Vanessa/Monica: (a small smile creeps up on her face) Well, I wasn't looking DOWN on you, but I was looking for an image of you.............(she looks back at the pictures and she picks one up. It's of Ross and Rachel) How long?
Rachel: (smiles a bit) Almost three years.............
Vanessa/Monica: (looks down at the picture) I've missed so much, haven't I?
Rachel: I guess..........but Monica, that doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're alive. At least thats all that matters to me.
(Monica puts down the picture and turns to Rachel)
Monica: So where do we go from here?
Rachel: I'm really not sure..............
(Rachel looks down at the ground and just looks around. She sees some stuff in Monica's boxes and she takes out a picture frame)
Rachel: A friend?
Monica: (nods, looking down) Yeah.
Rachel: (looks down at the picture of Monica and a girl) What's her name?
Monica: Jaime. She's the one I live with..........she's a great friend.
Rachel: Oh.
Rachel felt a sinking feeling inside of her, and for some reason she felt replaced. For all those years Monica hadn't been there, Rachel had kept herself true to Monica......and tried to keep their friendship alive. They still may have a little spark in their friendship........but the fire on the candle was flickering, and threatening to die. All they needed now was a match to light it again.................and she knew, that that would take a very long time.
*I look at you and think to myself, *
*why do I still miss you so much, *
*when you are finally standing right next to me?*
~~~TO BE CONTINUED~~~
