Alana was silent for a few seconds, since she was so elated about actually finding Rachel. Finally, Rachel repeated her question, "Why are you calling about them?" and added something, "Who are you?"
"Okay." Alana started, taking a deep breath, "I'm Alana Bing. Chandler's daughter," she let that sink in for a second before continuing, "And the reason I'm calling is well.my granddad told me about my parents, how they used to be such good friends with Monica, and with you, too. But none of you guys speak anymore. My granddad gave me Monica's e-mail address awhile ago, and I talk to her sometimes.and I guess.I'd just like to know why the friendship fell apart."
"Have you asked your dad or Monica?" Rachel asked quietly.
"Yeah, I have. Dad won't answer, Monica just says you all drifted apart. But I know that's not it. And if you're willing to tell me, I'd like to find out why. Because I think it's horrible that such good friends aren't in contact anymore."
"Wow." Rachel said softly, "You know, Alana, I haven't thought about all that in years."
"But.am I right? Is it more than just drifting apart?"
She heard Rachel take a deep breath, "Yes, you're right. It was more, especially for Monica, Chandler and Grace. I was never as good of friends with Chandler and Grace as Monica was, since I was Monica's roommate, but.I saw what happened."
"Can you tell me?" Alana's question hung in the air. Alana's heart beat a mile a minute, hoping, praying, that Rachel would be able to.
Finally, she heard Rachel's quiet response. "Yes, I can tell you." Alana grinned broadly as Rachel began.
"Monica and I lived across the hall from Chandler for years. He and Monica were best friends, they did everything together. And I mean everything. Whenever Monica was sad about something, you'd find her crying on your dad's shoulder. Whenever he was upset, you'd find him venting to Monica. I used to think nothing could ever come between those two. Then one day, Monica's friend Grace shows up. I guess Mon had known Grace from when they were kids, and they'd been best friends. Anyway, Grace had moved into the city, and pretty soon she started hanging around a lot.
It wasn't long before Chandler started to have a huge crush on her. And pretty soon, she developed feelings for him, too. So Monica fixed them up, and they started dating. They dated for almost a year, happier than they'd ever been before. But.something went wrong. I'm still not really sure what. Neither of them had ever been in a very serious relationship before, and I guess Chandler freaked out, or whatever. But, anyway, they broke up."
"But." Alana interrupted, "Grace is my mom.so, they got married eventually, right?"
"Let me finish my story," Rachel responded, and continued, "As I was saying, they broke up. Both Chandler and Grace took it real hard, even though it'd been a mutual breakup. Grace moved out of the city and went to live with a friend in Chicago. Chandler was a wreck.and he turned to Monica for help. She did her best to console him, but it was very hard for her."
"How come?" Alana asked curiously.
"Because.there's another part of the story I haven't told yet. But it was so hard for Monica because she was in love with Chandler."
