Chapter 5

Today was Monday, it had been a week since the break up, a week of hell for Chandler. He laid of his bed, headphones in his ears, the music drowning out his thoughts. The look on his face was empty and miserable, it was as though his body physically refused to let any emotion cross his face. There was a knock at the door but Chandler didn't hear it through the music. Joey walked in and tugged the headphones off of Chandlers head.

"Hey!" Chandler said half heartily.

"Your work just called again man, I'm tired of telling that you're sick with some weird disease. Maybe you should just go back to work" Joey suggested.

"I will, I'm just not ready yet" Chandler replied with a shrug.

"Well alright then" Joey said with uncertainty. "Hey, there's a Knicks game on today, I reckon I could get us a couple of tickets" Joey said hopefully.

"I not really in the mood, but you go ahead" Chandler replied.

"Come on man, we never do stuff anymore. You won't even come to the coffee house anymore" Joey whined.

"I just don't want to today Joe ok? Maybe next time" Chandler replied as he put the headphones back on.

Joey sighed and left the room. He headed down to the coffee house to meet up with Phoebe and listen to her play. As Joey walked in, he noticed Phoebe already singing and playing her guitar. He also noticed Ross sitting on the couch, reading a book.

"Hey man" Joey greeted, sitting down in the chair across from him.

"Oh hey Joey" Ross replied as he set his book aside. "What's up?"

"Not much, hey you wouldn't happen to have talked to Chandler yet would you?" Joey asked.

"No I haven't, look I really don't think I'm the right person to talk to him about this" Ross said nervously.

"What's going on with you man? You haven't even been to see Chandler yet. I know you're hiding something Ross" Joey stated, demanding to find out.

"It's complicated" Ross replied with a sigh.

"Tell me how this is complicated Ross" Joey demanded, raising his voice slightly.

"She's my sister Joey, and he's my best friend, I feel like I have to take sides here. I mean Monica's really upset about this and she will think I hate her if I keep seeing Chandler. And if I do see him, it's going to get all awkward and stuff because it was my sister who done this to him" Ross explained sadly.

Joey stared at him for a moment in complete confusion.

"So what, you're saying you have to choose between Monica and Chandler?" Joey asked.

"I don't know, it's just too weird, it doesn't feel right to help them both through this because I feel like I'll be betraying the other" Ross replied.

"How could you even think about choosing Monica over Chandler after what she did to him?" Joey exclaimed.

"She's my sister Joey, my family. You would feel the same way if it was one of your sisters" Ross shot back.

"That's not the point, my sisters wouldn't date my best friend then dump him for some big…loser" Joey yelled.

"You know what, I don't have to listen to this" Ross said, throwing his hands up. And without another word, he stormed out of Central Perk.

Joey looked around and realized that everyone was staring at him. Phoebe had stopped playing and was biting her lip, obviously uncomfortable with the awkward silence that had fallen across the room.

"Sorry Pheebs" Joey muttered and headed out the coffee house.

Chandler stood at the kitchen counter, lazily slopping some jam onto the piece of bread. His stomach had eventually forced him out of his room and away from the depressing music. He had just taken a bite out of his sandwich when there was a knock at the door. Chandler walked over and opened it, he frowned when he saw Ross standing there.

"Ross, umm hey" Chandler said, stepping aside to let him in.

"Hi…is Joey here?" Ross asked.

"No he hasn't been here all afternoon" Chandler replied.

"Good" Ross said, walking in. "It was actually you I came to see"

"Really? What for?" Chandler asked, slightly surprised.

"I just wanted to come see how you were. I know I've been a bit of a jerk lately" Ross admitted.

"Really? I haven't noticed" Chandler said with a shrug. He picked up his sandwich and continued to eat.

"Well yeah I've kind of been avoiding you" Ross told him.

"That I noticed" Chandler replied with a small smirk.

"Things just got a bit weird you know, she's my sister, you're my best friend" Ross tried to explain. Chandler nodded and gave him an understanding look.

"Do you think things will ever be like they were?" Chandler asked, staring at the crust in his hands.

Ross shook his head. "I don't think we'll ever be hanging out as a group again" He said sadly.

"How is she?" Chandler asked softly.

Ross stared at him for a moment, not sure what he should say.

"Richard proposed to her…officially" Ross told him. There was a long awkward silence.

"Well I guess if she's happy then that's all that matters" Chandler said with a fake smile. His voice quavered slightly and Ross could see this was killing him.

"I'm sorry Chan" He said sympathetically. He placed a hand on Chandlers shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"It's cool, I mean it's not like we were in a totally serious relationship and her and Richard were like…." He paused and cleared his throat. "So are we cool then?" He asked, changing the subject.

Ross could see Chandler's body practically trembling and it broke his heart. He wished there was some way he could help him. Ross sighed and nodded his head.

"Yeah man, we're cool" He replied as he opened the door to leave.

Chandler looked like he was gonna break any minute and Ross knew he hated to show his emotions in front of him. Ross also knew that things weren't cool between them. The more he saw Chandler like this, the more he hated his sister…he couldn't do that. It was going to be awhile before he saw his friend again.
