SPOILERS: Series 6 and maybe a couple from series 5
DISCLAIMER: F.R.I.E.N.D.S don't belong to me, but I really wish they did, especially Matt LeBlanc. They belong to NBC, and Warner Brothers, and all of the writers and people who make the show.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is set in at the time of series 6, and goes up until TO Where Paul's the Man. I'm adding two chapters together today because the last chapter wasn't very long! Hope you like it
Chapter 4
Joey looked at Monica and Chandler and thought to himself, 'This is wrong, how could a couple that were so in love a week ago, be so distant and separable?' He glanced at Rachel, Ross and Phoebe, all had the same look, and he knew they would be thinking the same thing.
"Why don't we give you some time to talk things through", Ross suggested, he knew how important Chandler was to Monica and wanted to help them get back together. He out of the four was the one who wanted things might turn out, as Monica wanted, with Chandler back with her, the most. During the past week Joey, Phoebe, Ross and Rachel had had many conversations about the outcome of this situation. Rachel had said that although Chandler loved Monica so much he probably wouldn't go back to her, unless he had a lot of space, and was totally convinced that he wouldn't be betrayed again. Ross had realised she was speaking through past experience, and for the first time realised just how much pain the 'we were on a break' incident had given Rachel. Joey had hoped on some levels that Chandler would come back, but would not go back to Monica. This was for two different reasons. The first was that when it happened, Chandler looked destroyed and he didn't want his best friend to be given so much pain because of the actions of somebody else, also on some levels he preferred it when Chandler and Monica were just friends, and Chandler and himself were inseparable. The last reason was one, which he had never told anybody, because he knew everyone would think he was being incredibly selfish, and he knew he was, but he also thought that on some levels Chandler had been happier when he was a bachelor living with his best friend. Finally Phoebe hoped that they would work it out. Although she and Chandler had never been as close as the other friends in the group, she had missed him so much. She had missed the pointless chats they had had about superheroes, Donald Duck and things like that. She had missed his quick quips about her lifestyle and his sarcastic jokes. She had missed Chandler's sweet thoughts and generous offers. Most of all she had missed their friendship. She wasn't as close to Chandler as she was to Rachel, Monica, Joey and Ross, but like with everyone else they had a special relationship, and it was a friendship that she never wanted broken.
"No Ross, I don't want to talk to her yet, I'm going out, I'll be back in a hour, and please don't let her be there when I get back", Chandler said harshly. Monica's eyes filled with tears again. "Chandler, don't please talk about it, I mean are we going to throw something so special away after one stupid mistake?" Monica asked. "Yeah, but it was a mistake that hurt me, like you wouldn't believe, Monica, and I don't think I can go back to you, after that, not yet anyways its too painful". With that Chandler left Phoebe's apartment. The apartment was deadly quiet. Rachel decided to end the silence. "I'm going to find Chandler", she exclaimed. "Are you sure its not like your as close to him as Joey and I are?" Ross replied. "Yeah, but I have an idea what he's going through" Rachel countered. Ross nodded. "OK I'll go find him, and talk to him, Monica, maybe I can convince him to talk to you, but I don't think you have a chance to get back together with him, for a while anyways." Rachel walked out of the door, and ran down the apartment, hoping she could somehow keep the group together.
Ten minutes later, she found Chandler sitting on a bench in Central Park. He had his head in his hands, and his whole body was shaking, Rachel knew straight away he was crying, and she couldn't blame him. Although she hadn't seen Ross together with Chloe, she had known the hurt caused by someone who was the love of your life cheating on you. She walked up to Chandler, and put her arm around his shoulders. She didn't attempt to stop him crying, instead she just held him. Rubbing his back, she tried to comfort him as best she could. A few minutes later Chandler sat up.
He looked at Rachel "Sorry", was all he said.
"What for?"
"For crying" Chandler replied
"Don't be, its good to cry, it lets all your emotions out," Chandler just smiled, and then got a confused look on his face.
"Why did you come, why didn't Joey or Ross come?" Chandler asked Rachel, not that he minded her there it was just that he wasn't that close to Rachel.
"I thought it might be good to talk to someone who went through the same kind of thing," Rachel told Chandler.
"I don't want to talk about it anymore," Chandler said.
"OK don't talk about what happened please just tell me how you feel," Rachel said.
"You wont give up will you?" Rachel shook her head and Chandler gave a small laugh.
"Fine, I'll tell you how I feel, but not here, we'll go to Central Perk, they wont come in, they'll all be waiting at Phoebe's until we return." With that Chandler and Rachel walked silently to the coffeehouse. Chandler was hoping that Rachel would help him make his decision about whether to go back to Monica, and Rachel was hoping that this would help Chandler, maybe he wouldn't leave for Long Island, but she knew that his relationship with Monica, whether he wanted one or not, would never be the same again.
