Best Friends
*Okay, so last the last chapter was kinda hard to read and I'm very sorry about that. Evidently I didn't upload it right or something but anywaze, here's the next chapter and I hope you enjoy it! And as always...I don't own any of the characters!*
As I was holding her, I could see the pain in her eyes. The emotions that flowed with every tear that left her cheek. She seemed so hurt. I couldn't believe she was still upset about Joshua. Joshua...the guy who ran out on her. That stupid jerk! How could he of acted like he cared and then just dumped her like that. I would never do something like that to Monica...I love her too much. Sure, she's my best friend and all and of course I love her, but for some reason I feel like I could love her as more than a friend. But no, I couldn't let that happen, this is a healthy relationship between 2 friends that needs to stay that way...nothing more. Why do these thoughts keep flowing through my head, I guess they just never stopped after that night....
*3 years earlier*
"What did you...how could you...I mean, what's wrong with me, what's wrong with...us?"
"Monica, it's nothing you did, I promise, I just feel that I need to move on"
"What do you mean "move on"?"
"I mean move on from this relationship, we've been together for 3 years and I don't feel that I'm living up to my own perspectives, I need to explore my options here and figure out what I want to do with my life, but one thing is for sure...I will always love you"
"Yeah, whatever, if you loved me you'd care enough to stay!!!"
And with that she ran out the door and left Joshua to pack the rest of his stuff and get out of her apartment...out of her life. She couldn't believe this was happening. She was so upset and she didn't know what to do, so she turned to the one person who'd understand...Chandler.
There was a knock on his door. 1:30 in the morning, who the hell could it be? He turned on the light and opened the door to see it was Monica. She looked like she'd been crying and I knew what it was about. She had obviously had a fight with Joshua.
"Can I stay here tonight...with you?"
"Yeah sure, Mon, no problem....so what's the matter?"
"Joshua...he, uh, left me" She could barely get through it without holding back tears.
"Oh come here...it's gonna be okay, alright? I promise. You're too good for him, you deserve WAY better, and I mean it. You don't need someone who doesn't understand you, who isn't always there for you when you need them, someone who just up and leaves you like that even if they claim to love you. It's not right of him to do ANY of this to you and it's NOT in any way your fault."
"I know Chandler, but I just can't help but cry...I was with him for 3 years, those were some of the best years of my life, how do I just pick up my life and move on, I can't just...I mean...." Now she was sobbing uncontrolably and Chandler could tell she needed him to hold her, so he did.
"It's okay, sweets, you'll get through this, I'll help you, okay? That's what I'm here for, if you need anything, just tell me and you can stay here for as long as you want."
"Thank you so much Chandler" They were now staring into each others eyes, "....I love you"
"I...I love you too" He couldn't help but say it back because he did love her, and it was about the first time that he realized how much he felt for her. The way they were staring into each others eyes made him think of her a little differently, like she could be more than a friend to her. He didn't know what to do with these feelings so he just put it in the back of his mind for now.
*Present Time*
I feel so safe when I'm in his arms. The way he holds me close and strokes my hair...I can't help but feel a "little" something for him. Oh, I don't know what I'm thinking here, I mean, it's CHANDLER, but annoying friend Chandler. Ah, but he's a lot more than that, he's my best friend, the one who comforts me and is there for me, and maybe he could be there for me as something more...
"Hey Chandler"
"Yeah"
"What are you thinking about?"
"Why?"
"Um, I don't know, I was just thinking about how you and I seem so close, ya know?"
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing"
They gazed into each others eyes, he wanted nothing more than to kiss her, she wanted nothing more than to kiss him, all of the sudden he started to lean in and so did she and just before they could catch themselves from making a big mistake....something happened that neither of them ever expected.
