The Bloody Chamber Part 5
Monica continued to scream even after the gunshots had stopped and she refused to open her eyes to look at the scene in front of her. She felt arms wrap around her tightly but she fought against them, predicting it was her husband. It wasn't until she felt a cool breeze and sunlight on her face that she allowed her eyes to open. Her vision was blurred with tears and she thought she was imagining it.
"It's okay…it over…" Chandler held her tight, whispering in her ear.
It was real, she was in Chandler's arms and he was fine, he was alive. It took a moment before it all sunk but when it did, she flung herself at Chandler... holding him tighter as she sobbed into his shoulder.
Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey stood behind a police officer as he slowly lowered the gun, stunned by what just happened. The officer, carefully stepped fully into the house, knelling down to check Pete's blooded body.
Ross swallowed hard, moving towards the couple. "Mon?"
She didn't get a reply, she continued to clutch onto Chandler, sobs shaking her body.
Rachel covered her mouth, as a few tears escaped her own eyes, her mind wondering what her friend had been going through.
More officers arrived at the house along with an ambulance, the paramedics admittedly ran to Pete's side.
"What are you doing!" Joey pushed his way into the house. "Forget him! He just tried to kill my best friend!"
"Sir, please calm down…" A police officer cut in.
One of the paramedics looked up and shook his head. "There is nothing we can do…"
"Okay, someone needs to tell me what happened here?" The officer in charge, Manson demanded.
"I do…I don't really know…" Ross informed him, as he was the one who called the police.
"When I arrived…there was shouting and screaming…" The officer from before started. "I heard a gun shot fired, so I kicked the door in…. which was when I found that gentleman firing at the couple over there…"
"Okay…. Anyone know who they are…" He glanced at the pair as the medics tried to examine them but they wouldn't move from each other or say anything.
"She's my sister…" Ross stated, before pointing to Pete. "And that's her husband."
"And the other guy?"
"I live with him, across the road…." Joey added.
"What's his involvement in all of this?"
"Well, she phone him earlier…asking him to come over…" Joey said slowly, not sure how much to tell them.
"Why would she call him?" Rachel frowned.
"Uh, they were sort of…um…."
"Sort of what?" Ross demanded.
"Uh, together…"
"Together?" Phoebe repeated. "As in relationship, together?"
"Yeah, for a few weeks now."
"What!" Ross exclaimed. "No, there is no way!"
"Well, if Mr Becker found out, it could be the reason behind this all…" Manson stated.
"Monica wouldn't do that!"
"They're in love!" Joey protested.
"But she loved Pete!" Rachel claimed.
"No, she never!" Joey told them. "He never spent anytime with her, he'd go to work then spend all night locked in his office!"
"I can't believe this is happening…" Ross mumbled, glancing at his sister.
"Ma'am, we need to take you to the hospital…" One of the paramedics spoke softly to Monica, trying to pull her way from Chandler.
"No!" She cried, holding him tighter.
"Mon, it okay…" He assured her, finally losing his grip on her. "Its okay, its over…"
She pulled back slightly, lifting her head to look at him. Surprised to see his face, streaked with tears.
"It's over…" He whispered, gently brushing away her tears.
"We need to get you check out at the hospital…" The medics said again.
"No, I don't want to…"
"But you have to…"
"I'm fine!" She insisted.
"Mon, you need to go…" Rachel moved forwards, crouching down next to her.
She looked surprised to see her best friends and her brother, only just noticing them.
"I just want to go home…" She said quietly, tears welling in her eyes.
"It's a long way back to Long Island, Mon…" Ross cut in.
"With Chandler."
"What?"
"I just want to go home with Chandler…" She said again, looking at him. "Please, take me home."
"Okay…" He nodded, more tears springing in his own eyes as he thought about everything that had happened.
Everyone watched stunned as he stood up on shaky legs before reaching out a hand to help her up.
"Guys, maybe you should go to the hospital…" Joey stopped them as they headed towards the door.
"I can't stay here…" Monica stated, tightening her hold on Chandler.
Chandler kissed the top of her head. "Lets go home…"
They walked out the house, supporting each other as they ignored the protests of their friends and the police.
Manson sighed loudly, before giving out orders to his troops before following the couple.
10 minutes later, everyone was sat in Joey and Chandler's living room watching Monica and Chandler, waiting for them to explain but neither of them spoke.
"Mrs Becker, can you tell me what happened?" Manson asked, but silence was the only response. He sighed and looked the others. "Any of you know?"
Ross shook his head slightly. "When we got her, a neighbour told us she heard screaming and then saw the guy from across the go inside…"
"Yeah, when we got no answer we came over here to see if they had left the house to come here…" Rachel added, then looked at Joey. "Then he told us that Monica had phoned up in a state and that was the last he saw of them."
"So, you then called the police?" Mason started to write down what they had said.
"Yeah but then we saw Pete arrive home…so we tried again but he locked the door…Then we heard the shots…"
Manson glanced at Monica and Chandler quickly before turning back to Ross. "Any idea, why he would do this?"
"No but we didn't really know him…" He admitted. "After the wedding, they moved here and we haven't seen them since, we've talked over the phone with Mon but that was a few weeks ago…. We got worried about her, which is why we're here."
"I always thought Pete was a good guy…" Rachel interrupted, causing Monica to look at her for the first time.
"He's a monster…" She whispered.
"Mrs Becker?"
"He's evil…" She began to shake as he thought back to what she found in the cellar and how she was meant to be his next victim.
"Was the reason behind his anger your affair with Mr Bing?" He questioned.
"No…he was going to…. he's…" She could get the words out as she broke down.
Her sobs brought Chandler back from his deeps thoughts about how he nearly died. He quickly, pulled her to him, holding her tight.
"Mon?" Ross asked, concerned.
When she never answered, Chandler spoke for the first time.
"In the cellar…" He started, pausing slightly. "There's…there's some stuff…"
"What sort of stuff?"
He gave a small shrug, trying to remember what Monica had told him but he couldn't. "There's…someone…a woman…dead…"
Manson frowned. "Are you sure? Did you see her?"
"No…Mon did…. Uh, there was blood all over her…." He told him, knowing the sooner they knew what actually happened the sooner it would be over. "Pete…. Pete was going to kill her too…"
"I better check this out…" Mason stood up, heading for the door when Chandler called out to him.
"There's a bag…" He informed him. "It's got some clothes and the keys and stuff in it…"
"Okay, Mr Bing…thank you…" He nodded before leaving.
"Mon?" Rachel moved to sit on the couch next to them. "Mon, I'm so sorry…"
She slowly lifted her face from Chandler's chest and looked around at her friends before turning to Chandler.
"It's really over?" She asked, unsure.
"Yeah, baby…" He whispered, more tears filled his eyes as she reach out and gently touched the wound on his head where Pete had hit out at him. "It's over…"
She stared into his eyes; getting lost him them and forgetting anyone else was in the room. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him forwards, meeting his lips with her, needing to show him how much he meant to her.
The four other people in the room, looked around at each other as the couple continued to kiss. Joey had a hint of a smile on his face, happy for his best friend. While Rachel, Phoebe and Ross were more surprised by the turn of events but they could all see how much they couple felt for each other.
XxXxX
The sound of a loud cry woke Chandler; he sat up and looked around, smiling slightly seeing Monica lying next to him. He gently kissed her cheek before climbing out of bed and exiting the bedroom.
Monica reluctantly opened her eyes when she heard him leave the room, a small smile played on her face as she got up and followed him out.
"Hey, baby…" Chandler said softly as he picked up their 2-month-old son, Nicolas Alexander. "What's a matter, Nicky?"
Monica stood in the doorway, unseen as she watched her husband of 2 years with their son. She couldn't get enough of watching them together, he was such a great father, and she couldn't believe how much she loved both them.
After the incident, the couple, along with Joey moved to Long Island. While Monica and Chandler, stayed with Ross and Rachel as Monica refused to be separated from him and Joey stayed with Phoebe for a few days until he was offered a small apartment in the city.
At first, Ross wasn't to keen on Chandler unsure about their relationship but the more the got to know him, the more he liked him. By the time his and Rachel's wedding came around 2 months later, they were best friends and he asked him to his best man.
The wedding got Chandler thinking and he ended up purposing to Monica that night at the reception dinner. People thought it was too soon but both of them knew it wasn't, they had been through so much together and knew that nothing could break them.
So, they had a small wedding with just close family and friends attending a few months later and brought a house just outside of the city. Monica had received everything Pete owned because he had no other family or friends. He was a wealthy man but neither Monica nor Chandler wanted anything to connect them to him and gave all the money to various charities even though their friends thought it was insane but they didn't need the money themselves.
Their new start encouraged Ross and Rachel to do the same, moving off Long Island to be closer to their friend and to start a family. It was a year into their marriage that Rachel discovered she pregnant and their daughter Emma was born.
"Hey, did we wake you?" Chandler asked softly, breaking her thoughts.
"I got cold when you got up…" She smiled at him, moving fully into the room and wrapping her arms around his waist as he held their son close to him.
"Well, I'd better come back to bed then…" He kissed the top of her head.
"Might want to get him to sleep first…" She smiled down at Nicky, whose eyes were transfixed on his father.
"I don't think he wants to sleep on his own…" Chandler told her. "He wants to come with Mommy and Daddy."
They shared a smile before heading out of the nursery and into their own room. She watched as he led on his back, placing Nicky onto his chest before holding an arm inviting her to join them.
She grinned and cuddled up by his side, placing a soft kiss on the top of Nicky's head as he his eyes slowly dropped closed. She glanced into her husband's eyes before gently kissing him and as they all began to drift off to sleep she wonder how she ever got so lucky.
The End
