Chapter 4- I'll be there

So, let me fill you in. Freshman year, I got Trevor. We had an on-off relationship. Sophomore year passed by quickly, nothing much really happened. Well, I'd say a lot happened. Well me, I'm still with Trevor. We're still on-off. Rachel and Ross are together. It's awkward, yes, but somehow I have to get used to it. They're together for 6 months now. Phoebe is dating this guy, Mike. Joey is, well, Joey is Joey, dates here, dates there, dates everywhere. And Chandler is dating Elisa, my dear enemy, Elisa. So now, I see Chandler less. He doesn't hang out with us anymore. Joey still hangs out with us if Chandler and Elisa wants some "alone" time. IT sucks. I'm not attracted to Chandler anymore, but he's one of my best friends. And I really miss him.

Its summer already and time flies damn fast. And we're gonna be juniors. JUNIORS, we sound old, although we still act like children.

"Mon, you ready?" Rachel asked me interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah" I answered. We're going to the mall today with Trevor, Ross, Phoebe, and Mike.

We went to our usual meeting place and saw the guys with Phoebe waiting for us.

"Hey Sweetie" Trevor said as he came up to me and kissed me.

"Hey yourself" and gave her another kiss. We heard coo-ing and aww-ing in the background which made us both laugh. And everyone cracked up like we did.

So we hanged out for almost the whole afternoon.

"Hey look! It's Chandler and Joey, and of course…" Phoebe said almost screaming.

Yes, there they are…. Chandler, Joey, and Elisa.

"Chandler! Joey! HEY!" Phoebe said calling their attention. "Oh hey, Elisa" Phoebe added a little bitterly. Chandler noticed but didn't react because he knows about what's going on between us.

"Hey guys!" Joey said coming up to us and hugged me, Phoebe, and Rachel, and gave high fives to the guys. Chandler did the same thing.

"What's up?" I said asking 2 of my best friends who I missed so much.

"Nothing much, just hanging out." Chandler said. I know someone will ask them to hang out with us. That would be too awkward. I hope no one will ask them.

"Why don't you guys hang out with us?" See, I was right. My dear Trevor asked them.

"I don't think so, dude. Maybe some other time" Chandler said to Trevor.

"So, we'll see you later guys" Joey said. And they left.

I haven't seen much of Chandler and Joey. And I really miss them.


Ring Ring

I picked up the phone, it was Trevor.

"Hey"

"Hey Mon," he answered. "Can we talk? I'll pick you up at 3"

"Okay" I said. I'm confused. I don't like the sound of that.

He picked me up at 10 and we went to the beach. We sat on the sand and talked.

"Mon," he started.

"Yeah?" I said, not looking up at him

"You know I love you, right?"

"Trev, I think I know where you're going. If you're going to break up with me, just say it right away. I know you don't love me. I can feel that. Even if we try, it just doesn't work that way."

"I just think I'm not the guy you deserve, I don't deserve you either. We just don't fit. And I really didn't think we will last.the real me isnot the kind of guy you really want. I knew that from the start. We can still be friends. You're such a great person and a great friend. But we can't be more than that. You need a guy who feels the same way about you. And that's not me. Yes, I lied. I didn't really love you. It was kind of a bet. And I'm into someone else. I just needed to tell you the truth. But for what it's worth, I really care about you"

"I figured that. And I don't think we can still be friends after this." I said. Everything he said was just a slap on my face. I stood up and ran away from him with tears flowing down my face. How will I go home now?

I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed the first phone number I could think of.

Ring Ring

"Hello?" a familiar voice answered.

"Chandler?"

"Mon?"

"Hey, are you busy?" I asked with my voice kinda cracking

"No. Are you okay? What happened? Where are you? Who hurt you?"

"Chandler, can you pick me up at the beach, the usual place. I'll explain later"

"Okay, I'll be there"

After a few minutes, I saw Chandler's car pulling up. I ran to his car and sat at the front seat. The first thing he did was hugging me and kissed me at he forehead. He's such a great friend. He's my BEST friend. Then he started to drive me home.

"So, want to talk now?" he asked me

"Trevor and I broke up."

"What happened?" he asked.

And I told him everything. He was really mad at Trevor.

"Fuck that son of a bitch! Nobody hurts my best friend like that!" Chandler said

"Chandler, calm down. Thanks for the ride. I'll see you some time." I said as he pulled up at our house.

"Come here" Chandler said before I went down and gave me a big bear hug.

I got out of his car and went inside our house. Yelling was the first thing I heard. I went straight up to my room. I don't know what to do. I'm so depressed to put up with my parents. I have no one to talk to. I have nothing to do. I sat on my bed and cried until I fell asleep.

"Mon, Monica!" I woke up hearing Ross's voice and shaking me violently.

"What's up?" I said rubbing my swollen, red and puffy eyes

"Dad left again. And Chandler called and said he really wants to talk to you"

"Not a shocker that dad left. And I'll call Chandler later"

"Hey, what's wrong?" my annoying brother asked me.

"What makes you think something's wrong?"

"Were you crying?"

"What do you think?"

"Monica, please tell me what's wrong"

"Trevor and I broke up" I said and he gave me a bear hug

"What did he do? Or what did YOU do?"

I told him everything, every single thing Trevor told me

"That jackass, I'll pound him to death" Ross said. What he said made me laugh a little.

"Yeah, right" I said sarcastically

"Whatever, Mon! Anyway, mom said you get ready because we're going to have dinner out tonight"

"Surprising she wants to go out after dad left" I said

"Yeah, I think she's used to it" he said and we both laughed a little. I may smile, I may laugh, but deep inside my world is slowly crashing down.

I thought I was really happy with Trevor. I thought our relationship is worthwhile. But after everything he told me, I just realize that everything was all lies. From the first time we kissed, from the first time he said I love you, I never knew, and I never had a hint that they were just playing a bet on me. After all this, I ran to Chandler. I asked comfort for Chandler, I asked security from Chandler. He was my best guy friend after all. He was the first person who popped in my mind. I know we haven't hanged out with each other in a long time, but I know he's still my best guy friend.

I heard my cell phone ring. I picked it up. It was Chandler.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mon, how are you?" He asked

"To be honest, not so good, well, first my boyfriend broke up with me and lied to me all these time, second, my dad left again"

"I'm so sorry to hear that, Mon. I just called to check on you. I'm always here if you need me"

"Thanks"

"Any time, Mon. So I better leave you alone" He said. He read my mind. I just want to be alone for a while.

"Okay. Night Chandler"

"Night, Mon!"

We hang up.

Few days after, I still cry myself to sleep, I still cry while taking showers, I still cry when I'm alone, but I put on my biggest smile in front of people to tell them I'm still okay. I am really not okay. But I try to. My friends were always there for me. They're really great. But nothing can make me feel better.Now i realizethatI have to move on. Life goes on. I have more things to look forward to, my friends, and a lot of stuff. Trevor is not the last guy on the planet. But that's not my point. I'm completely humiliated and insulted.

But I can't go back to the past. I can't do anything about it. I just have to deal with it. Move on, and forget about the past.

Trevor gave me the strength to move on.
