Chapter 7
Phoebe walked into her apartment after a long day at the massage clinic. She didn't even notice the letter until she step right on in. She picked it and looked at the writing on the envelope.
"Chandler?" She said, noticing his handwriting straight away. She frowned, wondering why he would be writing to her, didn't he know she had a phone now? She sat down on the couch and carefully opened it and began to read it out loud to herself.
Dear Phoebe,
I guess this is the first you have heard from me for awhile. I'm sorry it couldn't have been in a better way. I don't suppose you know much about what's happening, to be honest neither do I. I never got a chance to thank you for that night you came looking for me. I don't really remember much of it but Rachel told me.
It means a lot to me that you care so much about me and you don't deserve to have your friendship with everyone torn apart because of me. That will never happen though because I won't be around to make it awkward anymore. Who knows maybe we'll meet again someday.
You were a great friend Pheebs, you always knew how to make me laugh and you're the best singer I've ever heard. Don't ever quit that. I hope everything works out good for you, you deserve the best. Things are going to be ok now, as long as you guys have each other, everything will be fine.
All the best to you,
Love Chandler.
"Oh my god" Phoebe whispered as she set the letter aside. She put a hand over her mouth and stared ahead.
She wondered how long ago he had posted the letter. Would it be too late? She looked up at the clock on the wall, it was almost 8:30. She had to tell someone, maybe the police? No, she decided to go find Rachel first, hopefully she had already heard. She stood up and slowly made her way to the door, wishing she had talked to him before.
Rachel walked out of her bedroom, stomach growling. Monica was obviously working late again. She opened the fridge and rummaged around trying to find something. She eventually settled for the leftover spaghetti and put it in the microwave. It was then that she noticed the two white envelopes lying on the ground. One was addressed to her, the other Monica. Rachel put Monica's on the table before opening hers.
Dear Rachel,
Please don't hate me for what I'm about to do. I need you to understand that this is how it has to be. You once told me that things would get better, that there will always be a tomorrow. She was my tomorrow, my today, she was everything to me.
I know this will hurt you so much and that I'm sorry for but the only regret I have is leaving you all like this. I know you tried so hard to help me and you will never know how grateful I am for that, especially to you Rach. You were my rock, you were always there for me, I only wish I could have been there in return. Thank you, thank you for being such a loving, caring, beautiful person and thank you for being my friend.
You're one of the kindest people I know and one day someone will be so lucky to have you as their rock, like me, I'll never forget you Rach, any of you, I won't forget. I love you angel,
Love Chandler.
Rachel's body was already shaking with choking sobs. Tears ran freely down her face as she clutched the letter to her chest. So many thoughts and emotions were running through her head, she couldn't even think. She looked over to the second letter, sitting on the table.
She wondered what it said. How was Monica going to take this? Rachel knew she still loved Chandler, more than she loved Richard and she knew that it was only a matter of time before she realized it.
"Oh god Chandler why? Why did you have to do this?" Rachel whispered to the letter.
She almost contemplated hiding Monica's letter, she was going to find out sooner or later though. Rachel suddenly heard footsteps from outside coming closer. "Oh no" She quickly shoved her letter into her pocket and tried desperately to dry her eyes. She didn't want Monica to see her like this before she even knew what was going on. Rachel cursed as the tears kept falling. The door swung open and Phoebe rushed inside.
"Rachel, oh god do you know?" She asked in a panic.
Rachel nodded, her sobs too harsh to even talk. Phoebe went over to her and together they embraced and cried. Forgetting that Phoebe had left the door open, they didn't notice when Monica walked in looking tired and worn. She looked at the two with a look of confusion and worry.
"What's going on?" She asked, causing the two to jump. "Monica…umm…we umm" Rachel looked around nervously.
She sighed and picked up the envelope on the table.
"I think you should read this" She mumbled sadly.
Monica gave her a puzzled look before taking the letter. She looked even more puzzled when she saw who's writing it was.
"Chandler" She whispered almost longingly as she traced the writing. Carefully she opened the envelope and read. She had expected a long letter, him begging for her back or abusing her for what she had done, but she found neither. Rachel and Phoebe waited intensely as she read it to herself.
Empty spaces, fill me up with holes
Distant faces, with no place left to go
Without you within me, I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess…
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
Incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming, in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby it's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake…
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
Incomplete
I don't mean to drag it on
But I can't seem to let you go
I don't want to make you face this world alone
I want to let you go…
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is

Monica's hands were shaking, she looked up at the others.
"I…I don't understand, what does this mean?" She questioned.
"He's gone Mon" Rachel said in a shaky voice.
"What do you mean gone, how can he be gone?" She continued to ask, her voice starting to quaver.
Just then the door opened and Ross walked in.
"Monica, I'm so sorry" He said, hugging his sister.
"Where is he Ross?" Monica asked. She seemed to be in shock.
"I don't know, I've looked everywhere I can think of, Joey too. I called the police and they're out searching now" Ross explained, out of breath.
Rachel burst into a fresh batch of tears. Monica sat down on a chair, trying to take in all the information.
"Gone? Her Chandler was gone?"
Once again the door burst open and a very angry Joey stormed in.
"How could you do this Monica, how could you be so selfish!" Joey screamed.
"Joey!" Rachel said in shock.
"This is all your fault, you killed him!" He yelled.
"Joey please, that's not true" Ross said, walking towards him.
"Chandler's dead because of her and you don't even care!" Joey spat at Ross. Ross put his hands on Joey's shoulders to try and calm him down.
"You got what you wanted, you got rid of Chandler for good, now you can live your happy fucking life with Richard" Joey told Monica. Monica sat, shaking her head as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I didn't…I didn't mean to" She choked.
"Come on man stop this" Ross said more sternly.
"You're a murderer, you killed him" Joey yelled as he pulled away from Ross.
The look on Joey's face scared everyone in that room. The look of pure hatred burned in his eyes. He glared at Monica with such anger before storming out of the room.
"Oh Monica" Rachel said, going to hug her. Monica stood up and moved away from Rachel.
"I'll be in my room" She said in such a dull, flat voice that it had the others worried.
Monica slowly walked across to her room, almost robot like and gently closed the door after. Ross ran a hand through his hair, he had no idea what to do. He wanted to be angry at Joey for saying those things but he was more worried than anything. He had never seen Joey act like that before.
"I'm going to go talk to Joey, will you two be ok here?" Ross asked softly. The two girls nodded, deep in thought.
As soon as Ross got into the hallway he could hear Joey from behind his closed apartment. The loud screams of frustration followed by something smashing. Ross opened the door carefully. Joey was standing in the kitchen, throwing anything he could find. Plates went smashing into the walls and lay in hundreds of pieces on the floor. Ross quickly went into the room and ran up to Joey, grabbing his arms from behind before he could throw another.
"Let me go!" Joey screamed. His face was bright red and wet with tears.
"No Joey, you have to stop" Ross ordered.
He kept his arms firmly wrapped around Joey so he couldn't move. Joey struggled a bit but eventually dropped the plate in his hand and broke down crying. Together they slowly dropped to the floor. Soon Ross' emotions got the better of him and the tears began to fall.
