Chapter 9: Love isn't that Perfect

Monica woke up the next morning. Chandler was sleeping peacefully beside her. His arms were wrapped around Monica protectively. Last night was amazing. Then the phone rang.

"Hello?" Monica answered the phone

"Monica?"

"Who's this?"

"It's Michelle"

"Michelle, as in Richard's daughter, Michelle?"

Chandler woke up hearing Richard's name. And kissed Monica on her shoulders and neck

"Yeah, Richard's daughter, Michelle" she said, sobbing

"What's wrong?"

"Monica, I found dad unconscious in the bathroom, and then I called 911. He didn't make it to the hospital. The doctor said he was overdosed with sleeping pills, and drank a small bottle of formalin. Monica, he did it intentionally, he committed suicide. Can you come down here?"

"Where are you at?"

"Beth Israel"

"I'll be there" they hanged up

"I heard that's Richard's daughter?" Chandler asked

"Yeah"

Monica stood up, changed into jeans and tank top. She pulled her hair up in a messy bun and grabbed her purse

"I have to go to Beth Israel" She said

"Why? Mon, what happened?"

"Chandler, Richard died"

"Oh.... I'm sorry"

"I'm going to the hospital. Can you take care of Riley while I'm gone?"

"Sure thing, babe"

Monica doesn't know what to do. Of course, she still has feelings for Richard, but she doesn't love him, but it doesn't mean she doesn't care.

Monica reached the emergency room, she saw Michelle sitting on the chairs at the waiting area

"Monica, thank God you're here" Michelle said

"Where is he?"

"His body is in there" she pointed at a room "he died before they reached the hospital. And they found a letter, it's addressed to you"

Michelle handed the letter to Monica. Monica held the letter and stared at it. Then she read it.....

Dear Monica,

Always remember that I love you more than anyone in the world. I'll always watch you and Riley. I'll take care of you where I am. I hope you're happy now with Chandler. There's not reason for me to be alive, now that you're gone from me. I love you. And I always will.

Love,

Richard

Monica was crying as she read Richard's letter. She can't believe that he had suicide because of her.

"Hi daddy, whewe's mommy?" Riley asked as she woke up

"She's in the hospital" Chandler answered

"Is she owight?"

"Yeah, sweetie, she's alright. Richard's in the hospital"

"Oh the big twee. What happened to him?"

"I don't know honey!" Chandler answered

As if on cue, Monica entered the apartment with her tear-stained face.

"Mommy, what's wong?" Riley asked

"Mon, you okay?" Chandler asked

Monica sat on the couch, Chandler and Riley sat next to her.

"Chandler, Richard com—" she stopped realizing that Riley was there "Hey Riley, can you please go to your room and play? While your daddy and I talk"

"Suwe mom" Riley stood up and went to her room

"Chandler, as I was saying, Richard committed suicide"

"Oh dear God, Monica"

"Yeah, and it's because of me"

"aww, Mon..."

Chandler pulled Monica in a hug.....

Two days later......

At Richard's funeral...Monica was saying the Eulogy. Chandler and the gang were sitting on the pews. Riley was sitting on Chandler's lap.

"Richard... is an honorable man. I respect him so much. He's always been on my mind since we had divorce. I love him..... And I will, forever" she doesn't love him, she was just caught by the moment. But as Chandler heard it, she still loves him. He was hurt. He stood up and left.... Monica saw him leave, but she thought he's coming back.... Then she realized, he must've left because of what he said....
