Chapter summary: Chandler breaks up with Roxanne because he's sick of waiting for her to make a commitment. Roxanne confides a secret in Lucy.
Chapter Three: "I've Got A Secret"
Roxanne was lying wide-awake in bed. She couldn't believe it. Chandler had broken up with her. There was no marriage in their future. There was just a very short, but heart shattering breakup.
"Roxanne, it's for the best. You know I love you, but I don't see a future with us. I mean, I'm moving forward, but you keep staying back. I'm ready to get married and make a commitment. And you. Well, you want to wait. But, I can't just wait around for you forever, no matter how much I love you, care about you, and want to be with you. Roxanne, I'm sorry, but this is the only way. So I guess this is goodbye, Roxanne." Chandler's were words like a broken record. They haunted her head. Playing over and over.
Roxanne looked out her bedroom window. "He says he loves me, then why won't he wait for me?" She asked herself quietly.
She didn't cry. She felt no need to. What would crying do to help? It wouldn't bring her and Chandler back together. No. Tears were worthless, they wouldn't help her, just upset her.
Her heart felt like it had been broken into seven million little pieces. All scattered everywhere.
"Love don't live here anymore..." Roxanne sang to herself, holding back her tears of heartbreak.
That's how she felt. That love didn't live in her anymore. Just a broken, shattered heart. And a sad, tear free, lost, pained soul. Or at least that's how she felt.

Chandler sat in a chair out in his living room, watching TV. He didn't feel like sleeping. He was too angry to sleep.
Angry with Roxanne and himself. Angry with Roxanne for wanting to, yet again, wait to get married. Couldn't she just realize that he wasn't going to wait forever until she was ready? He'd proved that tonight. He's broken things off with her. He needed to. Or at least that's what he thought at the time. Now, he was angry with himself for breaking her heart.
Just then, the phone rang. Chandler picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey Chandler." Kevin said on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, hi Kevin." Chandler responded, trying to sound normal.
Kevin asked the question that Chandler didn't want to hear. "So, what happened with you and Roxanne?"
"We're over." Chandler said bitterly.
"What?! You're over?!" Kevin's shocked voice asked.
"Yes, we're over. And just so you know, when I proposed, she said no and that we should wait. So I broke up with her because I'm sick of waiting for her." Chandler told Kevin, trying to avoid any further questions.
"Oh..." Was the only word that came from Kevin's mouth in response.
"Kevin, sorry if I sound rude, but I really don't want to talk right now." Chandler said, bitterness still within his voice.
"Ok, I understand. I guess I'll talk to you some other time." Kevin said, and then the line went dead.
Chandler placed the phone back on its cradle. He then walked into his bedroom. There it was. On his dresser. The ring. He clutched it angrily and threw it across the room.
"Love sucks!" Chandler mumbled bitterly. He'd only broken up with her about two hours ago. And he was already feeling obsessive amounts of bitterness, self-hate, anger, and regret.
He plopped down on his bed. He just lied there; awake, thinking of how much he'd regretted what he'd done.

"He broke up with you?!" A shocked Lucy asked a heartbroken Roxanne the next day during their breakfast.
Roxanne called Lucy and told her they needed to talk. They agreed to meet for breakfast.
"Yeah. And I feel like my heart was put through a blender. Luce, it hurts." Roxanne cried, those tears she held back last night began to pour out of her eyes.
Lucy hugged her friend. "Don't cry Roxie, don't cry." She said comfortingly.
"Luce, I feel awful. I mean we're over. And I never told him my secret." Roxanne said trough her sobbing and crying.
Lucy glanced at her. "What secret?"
"I was going to tell him this. But I guess you'll be the first to know. I kind of cheated on Chandler with another guy." Roxanne told Lucy.
End Of Chapter Three
A/N: Dun, dun, dun! A fabulous cliffhanger if you ask me. Who did Roxanne cheat on Chandler with? Find out in chapter four. But, I'll update if I get at least two new reviews. I need to know that people are reading this story. So if you want me to finish this story, review.
