Chapter Five
Disclaimer: You all know the drill...
Monica was waiting in the coffeehouse for Chandler the following day, exactly on time. Today was the day that she was going to help him paint the rooms. She was nervous as hell but knew that she has to do this. He walked in a few minutes later wearing grubby painting clothes. Monica couldn't help but think how cute he was. As she was thinking this a realization came to her, none of them knew why she was afraid of men, not even Rachel. She would have to tell them soon. But now she found herself smiling at Chandler as he walked in.
"You ready to paint Mon?"
"Definitely. Did you already get the paint?"
He looked at the ground and stuck his hands in his pockets. "No."
"Well then off to the paint store."
She got up and followed Chandler out the door onto the busy New York sidewalk.
Monica was surprised at how much she had opened up to him in such a short time. Rachel and herself had talked long into the night and Monica realized that she was slowly opening up to men and that she did indeed have a crush on Chandler. He put her at ease so that she could be herself while with him.
Rachel had told Chandler that Monica liked him and Chandler was suprisied that someone so beautiful could like a guy like him. But he was extremely happy when Rachel told him this because he liked Monica. She was s great girl with her past haunting her. He was determined to help her.
As they were walking side by side down the street. Chandler just had to tell her. Yet he didn't want to scare her.
"Mon can you stop for a sec? I have to tell you something."
"Sure." she replied stopping and looking at him.
"Okay... Mon, Rachel told me that you like me. But before you freak don't worry cause I like you too."
"Really?" she asked not quite believing him.
"Yea. You're beautiful, smart.."
"And I come with baggage." she cut in.
"I know. But once I tell you my story, you'll see that I come with some baggage too."
"And your story is..."
"My story is short yet it makes me who am. I never knew my dad, he works at some gay show somewhere. I tend to use humor as a defense and when I get scared I run."
"Thats it?"
"Yep. That itself tends to scare girls away. That and my horrible looks."
"Since it's story time, I'll tell you mine. When I was ten I was walking home from school. I walked by a bank on the way home. Well on this day a guy was coming out of the bank, he grabbed me and held a gun to my head. He didn't shot me, thank God, the cops got him to drop the weapon."
"That's why you're afraid of men?"
"Well that and the fact that my one boyfriend in college raped me and my family wouldn't believe that he did that. They seemed to love him more than they did me."
"I still don't understand why you cut yourself then?" he asked confused.
"I didn't know what else to do. But once I talked to Rach last night I realized that I wasn't afraid of men, I was just holding onto the past. Counseling will help and I'm determined, now, to put the past at rest."
"So you're not afraid of men anymore?"
"Kinda, but now, not so much."
"So....would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight after painting?" he asked extremely nervous.
"I would love too. Now come on we have work to do." she said smiling.
He let out the breath he had been holding and smiled. He was giddy with excitement and it took everything in him not to start doing his 'happy dance' right there. He ran to catch up with Monica grabbed her hand and away they walked, hand in hand to the paint store, both extremely happy.
Chandler vowed to himself that he would never hurt Monica...never because they were perfect together..just perfect.
Would you dance if I asked you to dance
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
And would you save my soul tonight
Would you tremble if I touched your lips
Would you laugh
Please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you loved
Hold me in your arms tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Would you lie
Would you run away
Am I in too deep
Have I lost my mind
I don't care, you're here tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep
Have I lost my mind
Well I don't care
You're here tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
And I can be your hero
I can kiss away the pain
And I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
And I can be your hero
Hero
