Chandler's POV

I can't believe this is happening. After months of trying to get over Monica, the day finally happen. I didn't expect that any of this is going to happen, that I am going to say these three words to her but suddenly it did.

"I love you..." I told her.

She looks at me skeptically, with almost tears coming about her eyes. I can't blame her for this if I were in her position, I would too, have doubts about myself.

"But—"

"I love you, Mina..." I told her again.

Yes, I said those 3 words again at 4:30 morning, where everybody is still asleep. Let's just say what made this situation happen was that I had a dream with Monica. Not a sexual dream. It was a dream that I wanted to happen for the both of us that didn't happen and apparently, in this dream, I said those exact words to her.

To Monica.

She exasperatedly sighs, "I don't— I don't know what to say to that Chandler. I'm confused about your relationship with her."

I hold her arms, trying to reassure her as possible, "Monica and I are just friends. Yes, we have a complicated situation right now but we agreed to stay as friends and that is what we are going to do. And as what happened tonight, It's normal to dream with your friends. I dreamt of Rachel, Phoebe and sometimes Joey but it was nothing. Nothing happened in reality because it was only a

dream"

"Does your dreams with them involve saying I love you?" She countered back.

I look at her for a moment, "Yes... because... they're my friends. I love them beyond the world same what I dream with Monica tonight..." I said to her reluctantly.

She scoffed, "I bet those moans really proved how much you love her, huh?" She told me rather cynical.

I tried to hide my scarlet blush rushing across my face.

I heard her sigh and say, "Look Chandler...

I don't know what to say... I'm confused and this is a lot to take in. I think I need to head out." Standing up from my bed, I instantly grab her hand like a desperate maniac.

"Wait! You're going home NOW?" I asked, looking at the clock on the table side of my bed and it was almost 5 in the morning, "It's way too early."

"Chandler, I need time to think this through... Maybe... YOU need to think this through.."

"What do you mean?" my eyebrows are furrowed at her.

"You know what I mean..." She said, grabbing her things and when she grab it all she turned her back at me again, "I'll see you later..." Then leaving me alone in my bedroom.


I really do need to think this through. It wouldn't be fair to anyone, especially to Mina. I can't use her anymore and lie just because my love for Monica wasn't reciprocated but here I am receiving the love that I waited for God knows how long.

"You don't know how long I've been wanting to do that." I breathed out, shakily.

I heard her shyly chuckle but the moment was gone when we heard a voice at the other side of the room, "Chandler?"

And that voice was familiar.

We turn our heads, simultaneously and saw Mina at the front door, "I knew it!" She cried before leaving the apartment.

Oh no.

I turn my head back to Monica, I suddenly don't know what to do. What to choose. Mina is my girlfriend and she just saw me kiss another woman. I want to follow her but at the same time, if I do, Monica will think that this was just a mistake, which is not.

It's already our time to be together. I don't want to lose this again.

My head went back and forth at the door and her. She grabbed my arm and calmed me down, "Chandler, follow her." She said and I look at her, "But—"

"I know and it's okay. Just talk to her, now..." Reassuring by caressing my arm. This is what I like about Monica. She understands the situation well. Why did I forget?

I stare at her for a while, looking at her lips that is now swollen and remembered how amazing the kiss was.

Her hands are still holding my arms so I leaned down against her, crashing my lips once again without alerting her. She gladly accepts it anyhow. She wrapped her arms around my neck but stopped to pull back away, "Chandler, Mina..." She reminded.

My eyes widen, almost forgetting the situation earlier, "Oh! Yeah" Running towards the door but before I leave the apartment I stare in Monica's direction over the couch, "We'll talk—"

"Yes, Now go!" She commanded.

I softly smiled at her and ran to Mina.

I ran all the way downstairs to the coffee shop to catch up with Mina but she was nowhere to be found. Suddenly I saw a familiar figure by the Restroom and it was her.

"Mina!" Running towards her.

She looked at me but quickly turn her back at me, "What do you want, Chander?" She asked, "Oh wait, it's Monica. What an obvious question and answer forum." She added.

I sighed deeply, I do feel terrible that I used her for not having Monica back then, "I'm sorry... I don't know what to say but sorry..." I apologized.

Finally, she looked at me and I expect to see a face filled with tears but I saw her trying to hold back her tears and keeping her breathing fine which is kinda worst reaction I wanted to see.

"You should've said "I'm sorry, you're right, I still have feelings for my best friend and I'm sorry that I kissed her." you should've said that." She commented.

I grimaced, feeling the tiniest thing in the whole universe but yeah, I deserve this.

I hold my head down, too mortified to look at her, "Chandler, Look at me." She muttered.

I slowly brought my head up and look at her, pushing my hair back that was covering my face.

"I knew from the start that you have feelings lingering for Monica and I don't know why I continued going out with you... maybe because I really like you a lot..." She trailed out, the customer's voices starts to quiet around me and my ears are all on to her, "and when you said "I love you" earlier, I was overwhelmed. Shocked. Because I didn't know if I'm going to believe if you're actually in love with me or you're just saying that because you thought I was Monica."

I wince by the mention of her name again but she continues, "But when I saw you two kiss..." Her voice broke, "I immediately knew I was right and that broke my heart..."

I don't know what to say...

A moment of silence has taken the place, all I can hear was her sniffing and her heart gradually crashing but I heard her voice again, "I wish you had thought this through before you said those three words, It made me expect something but It's okay... I knew from the start anyway. Everything will be okay. At least you got what you wanted." giving me a strained smile, nodding.

I wet my lips and waited for a second or two to start to talk, "For what it's... worth... I did really. really. liked you but I—"

"I know..." She trailed out, smacking her lips together, "I know you can't give me the love you have with her." giving me a forced smile again, her eyes glistening.

I took a breathe out and look at her in the eyes with seriousness, "I hope this—This doesn't affect our relationship in the workplace..." I said, putting my hands in the pocket.

"Um... about that.." She started, swallowing the lump in her throat.

An abrupt nervousness and confusion land on me, "What?" I asked, tentatively.

"I think it's better if you fire me... You're gonna need to anyway," She said and I look at her confused, "Wha— What why?" I inquired.

"Remember what Mr. Dough said last week?"

Ohh that...

We have a problem going on with the company and we need to lay some people off and since I was promoted on the higher level I need to pick people to fire. I was never good at picking people especially firing them. And a bad person as I am, the first thing that I thought was Mina. She just doesn't do a good job in the company well.

"Oh that... I—"

"It's okay, Chandler. It's going to be weird anyway if I always see you and everything's been going on." She said, giving me a reassuring smile.

I fumble my feet onto the ground then clear my throat, "So I guess this is it..." I said rather inaudible.

"Yes, it is." nodding.

"I'm so sorry again for putting you into my situation. I never meant to hurt you too and—"

She put her hand on my shoulder to stop me, "It's okay. I'm just glad that I made you happy even it was a short time. Monica deserves you and you deserve her. You're perfect for each other. No harm done." She assured.

I smile at her as I open my arms at her, giving her one last hug. She wrapped her arms around my waist and accepted that this was truly over.

"I'm sorry... and Thank you."


I sigh as I went back to the building. It was kinda a clean breakup that I didn't expect but I can see the sadness in Mina's eyes. I shouldn't bring her into this. Into my problem. I'm such a jerk.

Suddenly I heard footsteps going down the stairs and familiar voices echoing the building. I rush another level of the building and saw Monica with Joey, holding his hands tightly like she's in pain. Her face grimaces and she's wincing and breathing heavily.

A sudden rush of panic and worry washes over me. I ran over her and asked, "Mon, are you okay? What happened?" rubbing my palm over her back for comfort.

I didn't get any answer from her, only a wince so I turned to Joey, "I don't know but she said she's been feeling something weird and not good weird." He told me as I look at Monica who is inhaling and exhaling.

"Can we please just go to the hospital?" She complained, her grip from Joey's turn hard and I feel like I see his hand turning white because of it so I asked him to take his place.


Now, we're currently waiting for her to come out of the room. I hope she's doing okay and the baby. I was so worried to see her state earlier, it's like a saw a real-life nightmare.

"Hey, Buddy, You're doing okay?" I heard a voice beside me.

"Yeah, I'm— I'm good," I said to Joey.

Good thing Joey saw her earlier and was ready to take her to the hospital.

"So... Did you talk to Mina?" He asked which I took by surprise, "Monica told me."

I sigh. Though it ends well I still feel bad that I put her into this.

"Yeah, It went kinda well. She said that since in the beginning, she knew and I— I just feel bad. It's all my fault really, I shouldn't put her into this." I said to him, shuffling my feet on the floor.

He puts his hands on my shoulder and said, "It's not your fault... you were trying to move on and it was hard for you. You didn't expect this to happen."

"Thanks" Is all I can say.

"It was hard for her too, y'know."

I look at him confused. Mina? I know.

"Monica." He stated, "It was hard for her too. Seeing you with Mina, I mean."

Oh...

I've been thinking myself too much that I forgot what Monica felt when I was with Mina. It must've killed her.

"Thank you, Joe..." I said to him which he took by surprised and confusion.

"For what?"

"For being there with Monica. That really means a lot to me, Thank you for being there with her." looking at him, appreciated.

He smiled at me and gave me a hug which I returned.

Even with my past jealousy for him, I really appreciate for being there with her. For being a friend.

We broke apart when I heard Monica and the doctor came out from the room. "Mr Bing," I gulped when I heard the doctor's voice, "Everything's fine. She's experiencing Braxton-Hicks contractions," He said.

I breathed out in relief, "mild discomfort caused by contractions in the uterine wall." He added.

"Hmm... Mild discomfort. I think 'Mild' is not the right word for it." Monica said beside him.

I walk towards her and asked, "But everything's fine?"

"Absolutely."

"And-and there's no danger to her and the baby?" Instinctively, putting my hands around her belly. I can't really contain my cool.

I felt a hand on my upper hand and saw Monica smiling at me reassuringly, telling me everything is okay and there's no need to panic.

"No, They're okay. Contractions can be unnerving if you don't know what they are, but she's fine." Giving a knowing nod as he exited.

I trailed my eyes at him as he leave, "So are you really okay, Mon?" Joey then asked.

"I'm fine. I got half a mind to contract that doctor's uterus though. Mild discomfort, what's he talking about?" she scoffed.

I lightly snickered and she immediately looks at me, softly smiling. My eyes went down to her lips, remembering our kiss earlier. God, I miss those.

I recognize that she too, looking at mine's. I saw her, in slow motion, licking her bottom lip. In within conscience I put my hands on her waist, pulling her closer to me.

She put her hands on top of mines that are on her waist. Seeing her start to lean in I start to close my eyes, waiting for her but all I received was a whisper, "I forgot my underwear,"

I open my eyes with furrowed eyebrows and I can feel my face turning red.

"I gotta go back in there," She muttered, smiling at me with those gorgeous eyes.

I chuckled before letting her go. I keep my eyes at her, entering the room once again as I heard a cough behind me, "Atleast you have her now." Joey said, patting my back, supportively.

Yeah, and I'm not letting her go now...
