Chapter Two- New Guy

A/N: Hey! I hoped you liked my first part! I'm really bored and am doing part two like one hour after part one, lol.

Disclaimer: I don't have any of their autographs…does that answer your question?

                Monica walked up the stairs. She snagged her skirt on the last step. When she tried to pull free she fell down, the box in her hands hitting the ground. The contents inside spread on the hard floor beneath her. "Damn it!" she screamed.

            " Hard night?" a voice behind her said. She turned around and nodded. The man extended a hand and she grabbed it. "Hi. I'm Chandler Bing. I just moved here from California." He pulled her up and she brushed off her ripped skirt.

"Monica. Monica Geller." She said. She added a fake smile, attempting to cover up the silence. She then realized the contents of the box were all over the floor still on the ground. She noticed that it was all her stuff, even gifts she gave him.

"Let me help you."  Chandler said. He went over and picked up a bottle of shampoo. "Did you go on a trip?"  He asked, in attempt to break the awkward silence.

"Huh?"  She had been thinking about Pete and missed the question.  "Oh, no I…well, my boyfriend…ex- boyfriend…well he…kind of.

"Broke up with you?" he asked. All she could do was shake her head yes. She was fighting tears. Even the thought of him can make my cry she thought. Chandler saw that she was about to cry. He also understood she didn't want to do it in front of him. "I'm sorry. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on I'll be right across the hall. Well, good night Monica Geller." And with that he stood up and left. Monica also stood up but stared at the door for a few seconds. What a nice guy, She thought. She picked up her box of stuff and went inside.

"Hey Mon!" Monica jumped at the sound of her roommate's voice. "Back from Pete's?" Monica shook her head yes. She was hoping Rachel, her gossip-friendly friend, wouldn't want details. But of course she did. "And…?" Monica grabbed a diet coke, knowing Rachel wouldn't rest until she heard every last detail. She put the box in her room and sat on the couch. "Spill!" she hurried next to Monica and settled down. Monica began to explain, in detail, what happened. She talked about every little detail…well…except one. She decided Rachel didn't need to know the "juiciest" detail.

After she had finished, she headed to her room. Freedom! She thought. She shut the door and fell to the bed. She lied there, staring at the ceiling. She shut her eyes and thought about the detail. The one she wouldn't let her best friend know.

Earlier that day

                "Monica…I'm sorry." Pete said, not meaning it. I'm sorry too. I'm sorry I pick guys like you. Guys that Cheat, lie, and hurt me. I wish I would say this to your face. You know what…its time you know what you do!

                "I'm sorry too. I'm sorry I keep choosing to date guys like you. The guys that tell me they love me. The guys that fight to date me. You know you're not the first one to do this to me? What is it? Do you fight for me because you like the way I look, then choose I'm not worth it? I'll tell you something Pete Becker. I am worth it. I'm worth more than every major corporation you'll ever own! I'm a good person. I'm smart, pretty, nice, funny, and sweet. I earn people's respect. There is the difference between us. You think you deserve respect because you have money. You don't! You don't deserve anything!" Monica couldn't believe she just confronted him. Her celebrating would have to wait though. Apparently Pete wanted more.

                "Monica, I" she cut him off.

                "You know what? You do deserve a few things. You deserve to rot in hell. And you deserve to be with someone like Chelsea. I hope you two have fun together. By the way, I'm sure you and her husband will hit it off." And with that she picked up her box of stuff Pete packed, and ran out the door. Pete followed, but he wasn't quick enough. Monica slammed the door in his face.

Present

                Just thinking about it made her happy. If I keep thinking about it I won't ever need to take Chandlers offer. Chandler was sweet to say that. And that smile…she drifted asleep with both those good images in her head.  I'm gonna like the new guy… was her last thought before she fell into the best sleep in her life.
