~ Chapter 12 ~

Monica pulled out her cell phone quickly dialing Chandlers number

"Hello?"

"Chandler, hey, I kinda have a problem"

"What is it? What's wrong?" he asked hastily "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, there's just like a hundred reporters out side my house"

"Damnit, I was afraid of that"

"What do I do?"

"Ok um... don't talk to any of them. Don't pick up the phone unless you absolutely know who it is. Try not to let them get a picture of you... I'll have to send somebody to pick you up for the show. Call Joey and tell him not to pick you up. They'll just twist it around. Damnit I have to rehearse for the show but if something happens call me ok?"

"Ok but what about Rachel?"

"What about her?" he asked praying to god she hadn't told Monica anything

"She's here"

"Oh... is anyone in the back of your house?"

"I dont' think so"

"Then get her out that way. Try not to let anyone see you and dont' let her talk to any reporters"

"Ok"

"One more thing"

"Ya?"

"Go through you house and lock all the windows and doors"

"Alright"

"Ok I got to go. Don't forget to call me if something happens"

"I won't"

"Love you"

"I love you too"

Monica hangs up the phone and looks to her dad. "Chandler said to lock all the windows and doors and not to answer the phone unless you screen them first and know the number. Rachel we need to get you home. We can go around back."

"Ok"

"Did you bring anything over here?" Monica asked as they made their way to the back of the house

"Nope"

Monica slightly opened the back door. No reporters had made their way to the back yard... yet. "Come on" she whispered

They hopped over the back fence and walked behind a few houses until they reached Rachel's fence. Monica helped Rachel over the wooden fence.

"I'll call you later" Monica said when Rachel was over

"I'm coming to the show, I'll see you there"

"Oh ok cool. I can get you back stage so meet me at the back stage entrance and I'll let you in"

"Ok later Mon"

Monica went back home and called Joey telling him to meet her at the show rather than picking her up. Monica's phone line rang like every ten minutes, she finally recorded a new message on her machine telling whoever called to call her on her cell phone, but she didn't give out her number. Her friends all knew it. She turned the ringer off her phone and finished packing. At a quarter passed five her cell phone rang for what she could guess to be the 100th time. About everyone she went to high school with had called.

"Hello?" she answered aggravated

"Whoa babe what's wrong?"

"Hey Chandler." She sighed "Nothing I'm fine. What's up?"

"I sent a limo to pick you up. It should be there in five minutes. Jason, Ross's bodyguard, is coming with it. So wait for him to come to the door, he'll keep the press from you."

"Ok. Is Joey there yet? I haven't talked to him"

"I don't think so"

"Alright. I'm gonna put on my clothes so I'll be ready I'll see ya in like 10"

"Ok sweetheart. Oh don't bring your bags with you. We'll get them before we leave."

"Bye"

The door bell rang a few minutes later. Monica headed to the door. "Who is it?"

"Mrs. Geller this is Jason Morgan I was sent by Mr. Bing to pick you up"

Monica opened the door and flashes went off blinding her for a moment. Jason put an arm around her and ushered her through the crowd. Questions were being thrown from every direction. They get into the limo and drive off.

Monica hung out with Joey and Rachel all night. She was surprised to find there was no tension between Joey and Rachel at all. They watched the show from front row. As the lights died down to signify the end of the show the screams were still defining. Monica could see the silhouettes of Ross and David running off stage but Chandler stood still not moving.

"Turn the lights back on" he said into the mic. Almost instantly the stage was once again covered with light. He looked for Monica, when he spotted her he smiled. "I just recently wrote this song for a very very special person in my life. Did any of you see my conference today?" screams erupted from the crowd "I'll take that as a yes" Chandler grinned. "Then you probably know that that person is the love of my life, my girlfriend, Monica. Mon, I love you so much." Chandler reached down over the stage and grabbed an acoustic guitar one of the roadies was holding up for him. "This is for you babe" he winked.

If you should ever go blind,

I promise I'll be your eyes.

I pledge of allegiance and die right by your side.

Because I love you so much.

And I love you with my life my life girl

I feel it now more than ever before.

It's really too hard to ignore.

I walk in my dreams, and the wind blows you sit inside of me.

Won't be afraid to love as long as you let me into your heart.

And be in a life together and share the joy of children forever.

Something inside of me.

That I want the world to see.

There will always be the space in my soul.

Until you fill this emptiness inside of me.

Inside of me.

The lights shut off and the sound of Chandlers guitar disappeared. Johnny, who had been in his office and just found out what Chandler was doing, walked out on stage with Sonny and got Chandler to go back stage.

Monica, Rachel, and Joey headed backstage. Johnny saw them heading towards Chandler.

"This isn't over" he seethed then walked away

Monica threw her arms around his neck. "Hey sweetie" she said kissing him softly "That was great"

Chandler grinned "I'm glad you liked it" he kissed her slowly. It quickly began to deepen.

Joey cleared his throat causing them to pull apart.

"Oh" Monica said turning towards them "Chandler this is Joey, Joey Chandler"

"Whaddup?" Joey said giving Chandler an up-nod

"Not much" he said wrapping his arms around Monicas waist

"You already know Rachel"

"Ya" Rachel said glaring at Chandler

Chandler tensed a bit causing Monica to look at him. Chandler quickly looked to Joey. "You like video games?"

"Who doesn't?"

"I know right… since they're loading the bus I had 'em put our PS2 in my dressing room. You wanna play?"

"Hell ya"

Chandler smiled "Come on" he released him grip on Monicas waist and took hold of her hand.

As they were walking down the hall Ryan passed them. Chandler turned "Hey Ryan!" Ryan quickly turned "Don't let any fans backstage tonight. I don't feel like dealing with it" Ryan nodded and hurried off

Chandler and Joey played video games while Monica and Rachel talked for a little over an hour. Chandler, as well as Joey, was surprised at how well they got along. Their fun ended when Sonny entered the room.

"Mr. Bing"

Chandler paused the game "What" he answered aggravated. For some reason just the sound of Sonny's voice could piss Chandler off instantly. Maybe it was because he was one of Johnny's 'minions'… or maybe it was because he made out with Monica. Chandler figured it was the later.

"It's time to leave"

Chandler sighed "Take my bags to the bus, and send someone to get Monica's things from her house. When her stuff gets here we'll be ready to go"

"Yes sir" Sonny said picking up Chandlers bags and leaving

"Come on" Chandler said un-pausing the game "I'm gonna get you this time"

"You wish" Joey smiled

They played for another 30 minutes but it finally came time to where they had to go

Joey and Rachel walked with them to the buses. Only two sat in the back parking lot now. One for the band, and one for Johnny, Ryan, and the bands 'bodyguards'. Monica gave Rachel a hug and said her goodbyes, then turned to Joey. While she was busy telling Joey bye Rachel pulled Chandler aside.

"I want you to know I'm not gonna tell her about what happened with us" Chandler sighed in relief "But that doesn't mean I won't" Chandler looked at her confused "Don't hurt her. I'm not telling her because I know it will hurt her, but if you do she will find out. I want to believe you love her. But I don't. Don't prove me right"

Chandler nodded "I'm not going to hurt her. I love her… I'm sorry about how I acted towards you though. It shouldn't have happened"

"We've got to go!" Johnny yelled "Hurry up!"

"We're going, we're going" Chandler said turning to Monica "You ready?"

"Ya" she gave Joey a hug and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll call you, bye Rach" she turned around and entered the bus

Chandler soon followed "I'll see you later Joe"

"Why you have time I'd practice playing TH3, you suck man"

Chandler smiled "I am gonna beat you next time"

"How many times did you say that?"

"We'll see" he said as he walked onto the bus
