Under The Moon
Today was the first of the month, and it seemed about right. Chandler didn't have a calendar, so everyday seemed like a year. To figure out what day it was, he just stared up and the moon each night and watched it go from phase to phase in its monthly cycle. But since it was the first of the month, Chandler had a meeting with his therapist. His name was Dr. Chance. Chandler sat in his cell as Dr. Chance pulled out his folder with all of Chandler's information.
"Hello Chandler. How have you been?" Dr. Chance asked. Chandler scoffed.
"I've been in prison for the last five years, how do you think I feel?" Chandler said in a monotone drone. Dr. Chance shook his head.
"I'd be angry too." Dr. Chance began, "but how are you doing? Is there
anyone that you want to talk about? Anything?" Chandler stared into space
and swallowed hard.
"Yes. I want to talk about Monica-"
"Chandler!" Dr. Chance sighed. "You've been here for five years and not
session has gone by without you bringing her name up. Is this where were
still are?" Dr. Chance's outburst took Chandler aback. He shook his head.
"She-she's the reason I'm in here, and not once has she come to see me."
"You guys were only seventeen, Chandler. It's a lot to take in for her.
How was she to know that you'd be locked away like this? Or how hard it
would be to stay together or wait for you. Let's talk about that. Let's
go back to the night you committed the crime." Dr. Chance's eyes stared
straight into Chandler. Chandler nodded.
"After I got her call, I was in this rush to kill Kevin-"
Chandler walked, not even trying to hide the gun from Kevin as he
approached him in Kevin's driveway that very night of the attempted rape.
Kevin looked back to give Chandler a smug smile before flipping him off.
"Well, look who it is. Chandler Bing. What's the matter? Looking for your
dad? The pool boy doesn't live here." Kevin antagonized. Chandler pulled
out the gun and held it at Kevin's head.
"What the FUCK did you do to my girlfriend?!" Chandler yelled. Kevin's
face went white.
"I-I was only screwing around man, put that away. We don't need that-"
"Are you scared?" Chandler asked with a vengeful glisten in his eyes.
Kevin nodded, and Chandler put the gun down. The gun was only to scare
him. But suddenly, Kevin plunged for the gun, and began beating Chandler,
and somehow in the struggle, Chandler heard a huge POP.
"...I remember his eyes more than anything. They were wide and staring
straight at me. He backed away and there was blood everywhere. I ran."
"You ran? To where?" Dr. Chance asked, knowing this story by heart.
"To Monica's. I climbed up her window..."
"Chandler? What are you doing here?" Monica asked, sleepy eyed.
Chandler was breathless, but he sat Monica on her bed.
"I'm in trouble." Chandler said. Monica's eyes widened.
"What did you do?" She asked firmly. Chandler stared into her deep
baby blues.
"Kevin's dead."
"WHAT?" She yelled. She wasn't mad. She wasn't happy, either. She was
shocked. "How did this? Why did you?-"
"I didn't mean to...I brought the gun to scare him, and he fought me and
he was shot. I didn't mean to!" Chandler sobbed. Suddenly, police
sirens were heard in the distance. "I have to turn myself in."
Chandler said, standing. Monica was sobbing with him at this point.
"No! NO! Don't do it Chandler! We'll run away together, like we've
always said! Please!" Mocnia begged. Chandler took her face in his
hands and kissed her.
"I love you so much. I can't just run away from what I've done. I'm
not afraid. It was an accident. They can't lock someone up for a
accident....."
The dripping water from the sink echoed throughout the entire prison.
Chandler stared at Dr. Chance.
"They can't lock someone up for an accident." He repeated. "What the hell
did I know?" Chandler took a puff off of a cigarette he had lit halfway
through the story. Dr. Chance smiled.
"Do you remember the last thing Monica said to you?" Dr. Chance asked.
Chandler nodded and exhaled.
"How can I forget?"
"We the Jury find the defendant guilty-"The rest was cut off by the
murmuring of the crowd. Chandler's heart sank. He stood and turned to see
Monica in the front row, tears streaming down her face.
"What am I supposed to do without you?" she asked, weeping into her
hands. Chandler gulped.
"You're going to be just fine," he promised. Monica glared up at him.
"How am I going to be just fine? This isn't fine! Kevin tried to rape
me!" she found herself shouting. Chandler pulled her into a tight hug and
she cried into his shirt.
"I don't know what to say." Monica gazed up at him.
"We'll always be together, Chandler Bing." She began. "because we're both
under the moon."
"I have some news for you, Chandler." Dr. Chance began. Chandler stared
at him.
"What? They decided to give me the chair? Lethal injection?" Chandler
joked coldly. Dr. Chandler took off his glasses and tucked them into his
pocket.
"You're up for parole."

Under the Moon by ICP
I'm still here..under the moon.
I was just a child but you seemed like so much more.
The way you would approach me and drift across the floor,
I'd see you in the hall and you'd kiss me with a smile.
I never understood it was I even worth your while?
The other kids at school they would hate me and they'd spit.
Cuz I was just a no one to them I wasn't shit.
But you would always hold me and stand there by my side,
We were only 17 we'd be together till we died.
But then it all happened the ever dreadful day.
Somebody tried to rape you and now I'll make him pay.
You pointed him out to me- my thoughts began to race.
I took my daddy's 45 and shot him in the fuckin' face!
I did it all for you and though I'm facin' years
I would do the time just to equal all your tears
The last thing that you told me when I left the courtroom
Is that we'd always be together... cuz we're both under the moon.
I'll forever love you even in your doom, we'll always be together cuz
We're both under the moon
I sit here in my cell and the walls are made of stone
I justified your pain but now I sit alone
I write another letter I write one everyday
I never got a letter back I write em anyway
I try to call collect- your number has been changed
I'm staring at the light bulb and I start to feel deranged
You never came to visit me I sit facing the glass
No-one's on the other side and now it's in the past
My head is always spinnin I'm poundin' on the wall
I feel like I'm forgotten no sign of you at all
You're probably gettin' married you're probably gettin fucked
I'll break out of this cage and try to cut that muthafucka up
I curl up in the corner my body will corrode,
My teeth are turning into dust skin is growing mold
I'm starin' out the window of my eternal doom
I know that you are out there... somewhere underneath the moon.
I'll forever love you even in your doom we'll always be together cuz
We're both under the moon
Many many years many more to go duz she still remember? God he only knows
i
Now become a savage they chain me to a wall I still can see your body i
Still can hear ya call I'm nothin but a maggot I'm locked away and lost
the
World that duzn'twant me my dignity is tossed and to tha girl for who I
feel this doom look here...fuck you and the moon!
