I was watching reruns from season 2 and got the idea for this AU fic.

This is an AU fic. It starts right around TOW Heckles Dies. There never was a Julie so Ross and Rachel are dating. Chandler did date Janice but he doesn't get back together with her and he never dates Kathy . Monica never dates Pete or Richard. (I'm a die hard C/M fan and hated seeing them with other people! LOL) Chandler and Joey live together as do Monica and Rachel.

Title: Secret Love

Chapter 3: A Secret Revealed


Rachel gasped when she saw who Monica's mystery lover was. "Chan...Chandler is your mystery lover" she said in shock. "I knew you were depressed because you lost your job and you haven't got a boyfriend but I didn't think you were depressed enough to sleep with Chandler!" She said as she turned and left the room.


Monica slid out of bed and put on her robe and followed her. "Rachel wait" she yelled. She turned around "What Mon?" she asked. "Its not what you think" Monica whispered. "Yeah okay I gotta go Ross is waiting for me" she said. "Rach about Chandler and I we're." she paused. Rachel looked at "You're what?" she asked. "We're together." Monica said softly. "What!" Rachel exclaimed. "You mean he's your boyfriend!" she said. Monica nodded "Yes." She whispered.


"So then I did see you holding his hand tonight!" Rachel exclaimed. She nodded "Yes and when you asked me if I was scared well I was too busy kissing Chandler to be scared." Monica admitted blushing a little. Rachel smiled "Oh Monica I'm sorry for the way I acted" she said as she hugged her friend. Monica smiled "That's okay Rach I forgive ya" she said hugging her back. "So how long have you two been an item" Rachel asked. "About a month" she replied.


Rachel smiled "That's great Mon, I better go so you can get back to your boyfriend" she said winking. She was about to leave when Monica stopped her. "Umm Rach could you umm keep this to yourself" she whispered. "What? Why?" she asked. "Are you ashamed of being with Chandler?" she asked. "No Rach of course not I like him alot I...I think I love him" she whispered Rachel squealed "Oh my God Monica that's great." Monica nodded "Yeah but I don't know how he feels about me, I just don't...don't want to ruin things" she said as tears filled her eyes.


"Monica its gonna be okay I bet he feels the same way" she said softly. "I...I hope so because I'm at my happiest when I'm with him I...I don't want to lose him." she cried. Rachel hugged her. "Aww honey you won't lose him, it will work out." She smiled "Don't worry Mon I won't say a word about you two" she paused "I'll just have to find something else to gossip about" she said with a giggle. Monica smiled "Ha ha Rach you'd better go before my brother sends out a search party" Rachel nodded "Okay but we will talk tomorrow" she said winking as she walked away.


Monica sighed softly as she closed the door. She was started by two arms circling around her waist. "You okay" he whispered. "I'm fine" she whispered. "Chandler I...I" she stopped as more tears came. "Honey what is it, is Rachel gonna keep our secret" he asked softly. "Yes its not that" she whispered. She turned to look at him. "Chandler I...I love you" she finally spat out.


Chandler looked at her. He wasn't expecting her to say that. He did what he did best. He freaked and went totally Chandler. "Monica I...I." He paused. She looked at him thinking he was gonna say he loved her too. "I...I gotta go" he said as he left the apartment. "Chandler!" she yelled after him but he was gone. She fell on to the sofa and sobbed. Why did she have to tell him. She may have just lost the best thing in her life.


Chapter 4: How Do I Feel....Chandler walks around and thinks about Monica and decides how he feels about her. Coming Soon!
