Truth Revealed
Monica watched as Chandler simply turned and walk into the bedroom. Her heart broke seeing the look on his face, she collapsed on the couch; bring her knees up to her chest, hugging them tightly.
"We have to do something!" Joey insisted, eyes looking from Monica to the closed door, which Chandler stood behind.
"We can't…" Phoebe choked. "It's up to them."
"Chandler can't leave!" Joey stated.
"It's him who's messed up here!" Ross pointed out, angrily.
"So this is it?" Rachel looked at the others. "This is the end Monica and Chandler?"
No one said anything; none of them expected this to happen, not to them, the perfect couple.
"He's cheated on her…." Phoebe whispered. "How can it not be?"
Rachel sighed and moved to sit next to Monica, wrapping her arm around her.
"Mon, talk to me…" She said gently.
"He's going, isn't he?" She looked up tearfully. "And he's not coming back."
"You don't know that…." Phoebe started, sitting on the coffee table in front of her.
"Yes I do…"
The girls exchanged looks before both of them pulled her into their arms, trying to comfort her but knowing nothing really could.
Ross started to pace around the room, trying to work out what was going on. He couldn't believe Chandler would do this, he thought he was happy with his life. He knew Chandler use to freak out about commitment and things but he thought that changed, he thought that with the babies and the new house his life was complete. Maybe he was bored; maybe now that he got everything we wanted, he didn't want it anymore.
Joey looked at the girls, hugging with Monica crying in their arms. He glanced at Ross pacing around, angry clear in his eyes. Mike was stood by the stairs, not sure what to do. He sighed and walked over to the room, Chandler and Monica were sleeping in. He needed to talk to Chandler, find out if it was true. If it was, maybe he could do something, maybe he could win Monica back.
He pushed the door open slowly and stood quiet for a moment, watching Chandler sat on the bed, with Jack and Erica in his arms.
"Whatever happens, wherever I am… I love you…" Chandler choked as more tears spilled down his face. "And I'm always going to love you…."
This wasn't right, Joey thought silently, he was saying goodbye to them. He was giving up his children, who he knew meant the world to him.
"I'm still going to look out for you guys…" He promised. "You and your Mom, whenever you need me, I'll be there…because you all mean everything to me."
"So don't leave…" Joey stepped into the room, startling Chandler slightly.
"Oh hey…Joe…" Chandler tired to wipe away the tears that steamed down his face. "I was just…umm, I was…"
"You were saying goodbye."
"Well, yeah…I guess…" He looked down at Jack and Erica, both of them staring up at him. He couldn't help return the smile that Erica gave him when he looked at her.
"Chandler, what is going on?" Joey sat next to him.
"You don't wanna know…" He whispered.
"Yes, I do!" Joey insisted. "I don't want you and Mon to break up, I know how much you love each other."
Chandler closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I was the one who married you guys…" Joey continued. "I can not imagine any two people more perfect for each other. We looked at you two and it just fits…"
"That's what you said at the wedding…" Chandler whispered.
"I know and it's still true…" Joey told him. "Look, Chandler just tell me what's going on…. I don't believe you would cheat on Mon…."
"What?" Chandler head snapped up. "I never…I could never…. Why would you say that?!"
"You're not having an affair?" Joey questioned, Chandler shook his head, shocked. "I told them you wouldn't do that!"
"Oh my god, that's what you all think?!"
"Well, yeah…Ross heard you on the phone…" Joey replied. "Who's Sarah?"
"She's no one important…"
"When why are you leaving to go see her then?!"
"Okay, I guess she is kind of important…" Chandler sighed, standing up and placing the twins back in their crib to finish packing.
"Chandler, don't go!"
"I've gotta, Joe…"
"Why?"
"She hurting and its because of me!" Chandler told him. "I can't stay her and hurt her anymore, I can't seeing her like this!"
"Just please, talk to her…"
"I've tried…" He zipped up his bag; he gently picked the twins up again and placed them in their stroller. He swung his bag on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Joe…but I just got to get out of here…I'm sorry, I ruined the visit and all."
"Chandler…" Joey pleaded weakly again, as he watched his best friend head out the room.
The room fell silent again when Chandler entered, Ross stood shooting death glares at him and the three girls looked at him tearfully.
"I'll call you when we get home…" Chandler told Monica quietly.
She nodded, standing up to say goodbye to the kids.
"They're not going with you." Ross pulled Chandler away from them.
"Excuse me?" Chandler looked at him.
"They're staying here with their mother…" Ross told him, he wasn't letting his niece and nephew go with him, after what he did.
"Ross, what you talking about." Monica looked up at him. "They need to be with Chandler."
"How can you trust them with him?"
"What?" Chandler was taken back by his comment. "I love my kids! I'm a good father!"
"How can you say that after what you did?" Rachel added.
"I haven't done anything…"
Ross lost it; he grabbed the collar of Chandler's shirt and slammed him into the wall.
"How could you do it?"
"Ross…" Chandler begged, crying out in pain as his grip tightened.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Joey asked, trying to pull Ross of Chandler.
"Something should have done a long time ago."
Joey got a bad feeling when he saw the look on Chandler's face; he had gone pale and was struggling to suck in oxygen.
"He's not cheating on her!" Joey told him. "He told me!"
"And you believe him?"
"Yes! Monica, tell them…tell them he's not having affair!"
They all turned to look at her as she stood watching the scene unfold, stunned. Ross kept his grip on Chandler, convinced Joey was wrong.
"Affair?" Monica stuttered. "Why? Why would you think…"
"He's not?" Phoebe asked.
"I wouldn't…" Chandler managed to say, shaking his head, letting a few tears drop from his eyes.
Ross slowly let go on him, stepping back slightly. "I'm sorry…. I thought…"
Chandler advert his eyes and gave a simple nod. "I guess I better get going…"
"What? Chandler! No!" Joey stopped him. "You've gotta tell us what's going on!"
"I can't…."
"Talk to us!" Rachel told him, reaching to touch his arm.
He stayed silent, looking down at the ground. Ever since he arrived he wanted to tell them what was happening, know was his chance he couldn't find the words. He gaze met with Monica's, they stared at each other a minute. Neither of them knowing what to say or do.
Chandler was the one who broke it by turning and reaching for the door He couldn't handle it.
This time it was Ross who stopped him, taking his bag off him and throwing it across the room.
"You've gotta stay…"
"Ross…"
"We'll talk about whatever's happened and we're going to sort it out." He told him.
"You don't know what you're talking about."
"Well, explain it then!" Ross was starting to lose his temper again.
"You wouldn't understand!" Chandler shot back, he couldn't believe, one minute the guy had him pinned up against the wall, ready to kill him…now he wanted to talk.
"I understand that you're to scared to tell your best friends you're having marital problems!" Ross raised his voice, slightly.
"NO!"
"Everyone just calm down…" Rachel tried but they continued anyway.
"YES!"
"No, I'm to scared to tell my best friends that I have cancer!!!" Chandler yelled, causing everything to fall deadly silent.
