Chapter 5
Previously on You Are My Life.....
Chandler listened to the song and felt tears, streaming on his cheek. Chandler got out of the car in the middle of the traffic, to go after Monica. Phoebe didn't say anything.
"For you I will, lay my life on the line
For you I will fight, oooooh
For you I will die
With every breathe, with all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me (put you're faith in me)
And I'll have to leave it be" This part of the song keeps on playing on Chandler's head.
"I have to fight for her" Chandler thought to himself

Chandler ran to the front doors of Alessandro's. The hostess stopped him.
"I'm sorry, sir. You can't come in without a reservation"
"But you see, my friend is the head chef here, and I really need to see her."
"I'm sorry, sir. But our head chef is not here."
"I just saw her come in."
"But I'm afraid I might ask you to leave"
"But—"
"Sir, do you want me to call security?"
Chandler sighed and left, and went back to Phoebe, who was still stuck in traffic.
"What the hell was that?" Phoebe asked.
"What?" he answered like he doesn't know anything about it
"Why did you leave me here?"
"Ah. It's nothing Phoebs, I thought I saw a friend, but um, I was wrong"
"Oh" Phoebe said, giving up. She knows there's something up. "So, are you still up for our late-lunch?"
"Sure!"
Monica and Rachel were talking about anything they could ever talk about. Rachel is dying to ask about the guy Monica met, but Monica avoids the topic.
"Mon, are you happy when you were with that dude you were talking about?"
"First up, Rach, you can't pull off 'DUDE', second, yes, I'm happy when I was with him. But there were days that I was being a bitch to him"
"Is he better than Joey?"
"Better in what aspect?"
"Better as a whole person?"
"I don't actually know. As far as I've met him, he's way better than Joey. But I don't know him that much, so I didn't want to jump into conclusions"
"Do you still love Joey?"
"I don't know"
"Mon, do you still have feelings for Joey?"
"Yes" Monica said straight forward. Then after that she was biting her lip, and there was total silence for minutes.
Rachel broke the silence
"Will you give him another chance?"
"No" she said bitterly and looked down, playing absentmindedly with the table cloth.
"Monica, Joey is my friend too. I hate seeing both of you like this. He is miserable without you. You are his life, Mon. He loves you so much. He's not even sure uf he's the father of the baby of that girl"
"But still, he hurt me real bad. Even if he's not the father, it's a proof that he cheated on me. I've remained faithful to him all this time, Rach. I resisted temptation. He's a pig, I just realized. I thought he was the one. He ruined my trust. And it will be hard to bring it back. Rachel, my trust to him is like an expensive and fragile figurine, he dropped it, it shattered into pieces, and it would be hard to bring it back together." Monica said with her voice breaking down.
"Mon, I know. But why don't you try to bring the shattered pieces together? Just try. Give it a chance. One last chance."
"I'll think about it"
"Great" Rachel said and gave Monica a hug.

"Hey, there Mon"
"Joey"
"Mon, let me explain"
"Explain what?"
"Explain everything"
"Monica, that girl is crazy. Yes, she's pregnant, but I'm not sure if I'm the father"
"Not sure. So meaning, you admit that you slept with her while we were together, engaged, and planning for OUR wedding."
"Uh—" Joey started to stutter. "Yeah"
"How dare you" Monica said and slapped him on his face. "Get the hell out of here, Joey"
"Mon, give me a chance"
"What fucking chance do you need, Joey?!"
"Please Monica!"
"Get out!" Monica yelled. Joey looked down and made his way out
Monica broke down, sat on the couch and cried.
'Why is this happening to me? Joey is my last chance, I have to follow him'
Joey was just standing in front of Monica's apartment building, thinking whether to go back or leave and forget Monica. He can't forget Monica. He loves her so much for him to do that.

Chandler saw Monica before they left the restaurant. Chandler was so determined to have Monica back, so he asked Phoebe to take a cab home, and he'll take her car. Chandler followed Monica to her apartment. Stalker, yeah, but he needs her so bad. He wanted to run up to Monica, but decided to wait for the right time.
Chandler was parked in front of Monica's apartment building. He saw an Italian-looking guy standing there, as if waiting for someone. He didn't pay attention that much to the guy.
He saw a girl who went up to the Italian guy and threw her arms around him. It was Monica. And that must be Joey, he thought. Monica, Monica just hugged Joey and kiss him quickly on his lips.

"Joey!!!" Monica screamed and ran up to Joey and threw her arms around him "I'll give you the chance you're asking for. I don't completely forgive you, but it's in the process."
"Thanks, Mon. I love you"
"I know"

Chandler lost his hope. He was sitting in the car, watching Monica smiling in the arms of Joey. The radio started playing a song, as if it was alluding him.
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending all themselves
I saw you holdin' hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelin' was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothin' for me to do but have one last cry ...
One last cry before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
This time, stop livin' a lie
I guess I'm down to my one last cry (hooh) ...
I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
Why the sun shines on you
And it's a lotta rain on me
Still I sit alone
Wishin' all my feelin' was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do but have one last cry ...
(Repeat Chorus except last line)
I know I gotta be strong
'Cause love and life goes on and on and on
And on ...
Adlib:
I'm gonna dry my heart
Right after I said my... One last cry ...
One last cry before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time been livin' a lie
I guess I'm down, I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down to my last cry ...
One Last Cry-Brian McKnight
'I lost her. Forever.' He thought to himself as he watched Monica and Joey went inside back to her apartment hand in hand.
