Sorry I haven't updated this in a while I've been busy with my school work since my exams are coming up :(
So here comes chapter 6
Chandler turned to Monica and motioned for her to sit down.
"We need to talk," he said to her. Monica just nodded, wondering if what Chandler was about to say was good or bad.
"Monica, I need you to ket me speak, OK, don't interrupt until I finish." She nodded slowly, "OK" she whispered barely loud enough for him to hear.
"OK..." he paused and swallowed trying to get the lump out of his throat. "Monica, I love you, and I think on some level I always have, and I always will love you, you hold a special part of my heart that no matter what happens nobody will ever have."
"I love..." Monica started but was interrupted by Chandler.
"Monica you said you wouldn't interrupt," she nodded an apology, "anyway as I was saying I love you, but you hurt me in so many ways. That night I was coming home and when I got there I was going to make the whole apartment romantic because I was planning on proposing to you."
Monica's eyes went wide, she didn't know that he was planning that and she felt tears form in her eyes as she realised that she had lost what she had wanted more than anything in the world, a marriage with the love of her life.
Chandler continued, "Seeing you made everything much worse, Monica, I mean you didn't even have the decency to not do it in our bedroom, that was a big kick in the teeth you know." He paused before continuing, "Monica, whilst I was talking to Rachel I realised that I don't trust you anymore, and I think that a relationship should have a foundation built up on trust, and you've broken that foundation." Monica was about to say something, but Chandler just continued, wiping the tears which were streaming down his face.
"We can't be together anymore," he whispered, causing Monica to break down into tears. He wanted nothing more than to make the pain she was feeling go away, but he couldn't it would make leaving her far too hard, and her knew he had to do it, no matter how hard it was.
Monica knew what he was going to do as soon as he had walked into the door, she knew what the look on his face meant, she could read him like a book, which hurt her more, because she could see the hurt which was screaming at her from his eyes. She also knew that she could argue but that it would prolong the inevitable, which was him leaving her.
"Will we ever be able to be together?" she asked him, frightened at what his response may be.
"I'm not sure Monica, may be, just not now, not for a while at least."
"I'll wait, for as long as you need", she whispered, but he heard her and he gave her a weak smile and nodded. They looked at each other, tears still streaming down both of their faces.
"Where are you going to go? Are you going to stay with Phoebe? Or are you going to move out of New York?"
He shrugged, "I'm not sure, I might see if Pheebs will let me stay here for a while, or I could move back in with Joey, and Rach could move in with you. We'll work something out."
She looked surprised, "you're not moving to your mom's?"
He shook his head, "No, that isn't fair Monica, its not far to me I shouldn't have to leave my friends, and its not far to them, they'll feel like they have to take sides, like we all had to do during Ross and Rachel's break up. I mean may be we can work something out you know just as friends, seeing as a lot of the trust we had was from our years of friendship." She smiled in spite of situation happy that she would at least get to see Chandler on a regular basis, even if it was not in the way she wished it could have been.
"Do you want to go the apartment and get some of your stuff? I mean you'll need a change pf clothes, won't you?"
He nodded, "Can I go myself, please?" She nodded, "I'll go now then, you can wait here for everyone let them know what's going on, may be you'll decide living arrangements." With that he walked out of the door, closing it softly behind him, leaving Monica alone, where she collapsed into tears, thinking, 'Why did I let this happy?'
I hope you like this, I decided to make the actual break-up quite...I dunno...not a shouting match, I'm not that good at writing fights. I took some inspiration for Ross and Rachel's split, you know how at the end it was pretty calm, but sad?
