Chapter One- Pieces

Authors Note: This is my first fic. I know everyone is going to say how predictable this is, but save your fingers, I know. Also the title makes no sense 'til around the forth chapter. Also there is swearing. If you mind that, sorry.

Disclaimer: I haven't even been to a taping…do you think I own them?!

On with the Fic!

"Where to?" the cabbie asked her. She climbed in and closed the door.

                "Greenwich Village Apartments," she said playing with a box lid. She slowly opened it then shut it again before anything became visible. Why me? She thought. What did I possibly do that was so wrong? All I did was try to surprise my boyfriend, she thought becoming angry again. My boyfriend of one and a half years! She kept thinking about it, replaying the incident in her mind for the 3rd time that day.

                The phone began to ring. "Hello?" Monica asked into the phone.

                "Hey babe. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to take a rain check on tonight."

                "Why?" Monica asked, disappointed. Tonight was their one and a half year anniversary. They were going to go to Iridium, one of Monica's favorite restaurants.

                " I have a lot of work to catch up on…we'll go there tomorrow…I promise."

                "Ok. I'll see you later."

                "Ok.Bye sweetie."

            "Bye. Happy Anniversary!" She said, but he had already hung up.

Present

                How could I be so stupid? How did I not see the signs? I mean, he's the head of the company, for pete's sake! She forced a smile at the irony. Mabey it's time to look in the box…No! I can't! I don't wanna know what he's giving me.

One week ago 

                Monica unlocked the door to Pete's apartment with her spare key. She slipped in and dimmed the lights. She opened her bag and took out a bottle of wine, a bag of rose petels and candles. She started to spread the roses in the apartment when she heard the door open. In came Pete and one of Monica's co-workers…kissing.

Present

                That sleesball! In her mind she screamed it. He had cheated on her with her co-worker! Not only was she her co-worker, she was one of her best friends!

One week ago   

                "Pete! How could you!?" Monica screamed. "And Chelsea! You're one of my best friends!" By this time she was an inch away from tears.

                "Baby, this isn't what it looks like!" Pete said, defending himself.

                "Bull Shit!" Monica screamed. The hell it isn't!  "Oh, of corse it isn't. she just happened to fall onto your mouth!" I gotta get out of here, she thought. As she was fleeing the apartment she screamed, " And don't baby me, asshole!"

Present

                My mom always said I had a temper, she laughed.

                "Here we are,miss." The cabbie said.

                " Thank you," she said, snapping out of it. "How much?" she asked.

                " It's on the house." He said. When Monica gave him a look he said, " I'm not gonna charge a woman who had her heart broken."

                "How did you know?" she wondered.

                " Your eyes.  Pain runs deep in them." He parked the car. "Did he smash your heart?" he asked, kindly.

                "Into pieces."

Thank you for reading my first fic! It will get happier and Chandler, and Rachel will appear. For  the sake of the story I will not include Ross or Phoebe. Joey may appear, but I'm not sure yet. Please review, I'd like to know if  ti was good, or if  you think it sucked, lol.
