Bonnie

"But why?" she implored, still not understanding. They had spent hours arguing about this, why Ross wanted to break up with her. It was almost five in the morning, and she could tell he was exhausted. Hell, so was she. She watched as he sighed long and hard and rubbed his hand through his hair. Her hair, that was one of the reasons he had given her. He didn't like her bald.

"It's Rachel," he finally said. "I still love her." Bonnie's heart stopped. They had spent all night fighting and crying over why they were breaking up, and he was just now saying it was because of Rachel?!

"Oh my God," she said, sinking onto the bed. She placed a hand on her freshly bald head. Rachel had tricked her into shaving her hair off. She was just realizing this now. She looked at Ross, who had fresh tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I should have led with that," he apologized.

"Yes, you should have. You know what, Ross? You can have her."

"Bonnie..."

"I'm leaving."

"If there was no Rachel, I think we-"

"Do NOT finish that sentence," Bonnie ordered, putting her hand up. She threw her stuff into her open suitcase and shut it violently. She stormed past him, yanking the bedroom door open. She could have sworn she saw Rachel's door shut at the same time, but she didn't have the energy to bawl the woman out. She headed down the stairs and out the door, calling a cab on the way. She never wanted to see Ross again. How could he have led her on when all this time he still loved Rachel?! Bonnie was angry at Phoebe too, for not mentioning that they used to date. This whole thing could have been avoided. The betrayal of Ross burned her heart, and she hated Rachel with a passion. That woman was sneaky and conniving. She hoped the two of them would make each other miserable until the end of time. On the cab ride home, Bonnie cried. No man was ever going to love her fully, and it made her feel so alone. Then, she straightened her back and wiped away her tears. She didn't need a man. She would be just fine on her own. She would live well; that was the best revenge after all.

Chip

"This? This is never happening," Monica said, getting up from the table. Chip looked at her, confused. He had just finished telling her how he lived with his parents and all the perks he got from that such as his mother doing his laundry and cooking him dinner.

"I'm sorry?" he asked.

"I am dumping your ass," she answered.

"Because I live with my parents?" he questioned, incredulous.

"Because you never grew up," she replied, putting her coat on and starting to walk away.

"Well, you're the one missing out!" he called after her. "No free movies for you!" She didn't even answer. He couldn't understand why Monica had just dumped him. He was a catch, and he had a sweet thing going on in his life with his job and living situation. He got to hang around all their old friends...what was wrong with her? He sat there, puzzled. When he got home, his mother could tell he was off.

"Bad date?" she asked.

"I got dumped," he answered.

"Aw, sugar, it's okay," she said, pinching his cheek and giving him a hug. "Some day some woman is gonna be so lucky to have you."

"Thanks, Ma," Chip smiled. She was right. He had nothing to worry about.

Joanna

"I'll be right back," Chandler said, "just going to the washroom."

"All righty," Joanna smiled. She missed seeing him grab his clothes. It had been so great. She closed her eyes, remembering it. After a while, when he didn't come back, she started to panic.

"Chandler? Chandler!"

Nothing.

"Oh God," she whimpered, looking at her cuffed hands. She had never been more embarrassed in her life. She couldn't believe Chandler had just left her there! In this position! She had tried reaching the keys herself, but it was no use. She rolled back to her desk, resting her forehead onto it. She had felt so badly for leaving him like this before, but she had no idea he'd retaliate in the same way. Eventually she fell asleep, and later she awoke to noises outside in the office. Her head perked up.

"Who's out there?" she called.

"Rachel!"

"Could you get in here please?"

"They didn't have your usual bagel, so I just...Oh God!" Rachel shouted, stopping at the sight of Joanna, who gave a little wave.

"Can you get the key on the back of the door please?"

"Um, sure," Rachel said, dropping Joanna's food and hurrying over with the key.

"You can tell Chandler that we are never going out again," Joanna said angrily.

"All right," Rachel nodded. She backed up as Joanna stood up.

"Excuse me," Joanna said, heading to the washroom. She didn't even care what she looked like. She really had to go.

"Oh my," Sophie said, covering her mouth.

"Oh grow up," Joanna snapped. She closed the bathroom door behind her. After a few moments, she washed her face and tried to freshen up.

"Here are your clothes," Rachel said, opening the door and sticking her hand inside. Joanna took them from her.

"Why would he do that?" Joanna asked.

"Do what?"

"Tell me I'm beautiful," Joanna said sarcastically. "Lock me in the chair, Rachel. Why did he do that? Use your head!"

"You're not the first one to say that to me," Rachel said nervously. "And I don't know."

"Little wretch," Joanna muttered, applying her makeup now that she was dressed. Rachel disappeared, leaving her alone. Joanna sighed, looking at herself in the mirror. Yes, she was quite through with Chandler Bing.

Cheryl

She had been so certain things with Ross were going to work out. It puzzled her as to why he bolted out of her apartment as though he had been shot at. She knew he had been embarrassed thinking he had killed her hamster, but still. She lolled on her couch and watched TV. It was his loss really. She knew she was the hottest person working in that building, and if Ross could willingly pass it up, then he could suffer the consequences when she got with someone else. After a few hours of television, she heard a knock on her door. Half hoping it was Ross with a changed mind, she answered.

"Hi, I'm Monica, Ross's sister?" the woman said.

"Yea?"

"He told me about your apartment, and I...I can't sleep for thinking about it. Do you mind if I clean it?"

"No?" Cheryl said, shutting the door in her face. She leaned against the door, surveying her apartment. Was that why he'd left? He didn't like how her place looked? She snorted. He was one to talk. His place felt almost like a hospital. She went back to her couch, noticing a movement by her coffee table. If that rat was alive again, it was going to get it. She peered under the pile of shirts.

"Mitzi!" she cried, picking up her beloved hamster. "Oh, sweetie, I'm so glad to see you." She cuddled her little friend. Yes, she was quite happy with her living situation.

Timothy

He left Monica's apartment feeling nauseous. How could he have possibly thought he could date her after his father already had? It was way too weird. Even weirder, she reminded him of his mother. Talk about emotional scarring. He shuddered. Maybe if they had been introduced before she dated his father, something could have happened between them. He jumped aside when a man ran past him at full speed.

"Kathy!" the man shouted, waving his arms. Tim wasn't sure who he was, but he smiled as the man caught up to the woman, Kathy he presumed, and they started kissing. That's what he wanted one day, a happy ending. He hailed a cab, giving the couple one last glance. They were smiling and hugging. Tim knew how his father felt after Monica broke up with him twice. He was starting to feel as though maybe he had dodged a bullet after all.

Kathy

First Joey, then Chandler. Kathy felt like such a hypocrite. What was wrong with her?! She broke the hearts of two men that she had cared for in the matter of months. She hugged herself as she waited for her flight home to Chicago. She had ended things with Nick right after Chandler had left angry. That whole affair had been so stupid. It was just the play that had made them so hot for each other. She hated herself.

"Bad day?" a woman asked her. Kathy nodded.

"Yea, and it's my fault."

"You know what they say," the woman went on. "Tomorrow's a new day."

Kathy fake laughed until the woman moved on, and then she started to cry. Maybe tomorrow was a new day, but she'd lost the one thing she'd cared about more than anything: Chandler. As much as she hated herself for hurting Joey, she hated herself more for hurting Chandler. She really believed they could have had something real with each other, and she'd blown it. She ducked her head as she boarded the plane and found her seat. She had a long road ahead of her, and she didn't know if she could ever forgive herself for what she'd done.

Janice

She felt sorrow as she watched Chandler's plane take off to Yemen. How was it that they were finally able to be together, and this happened? She pouted. She really hadn't stopped thinking about Chandler since the last time they'd seen each other. She knew she'd picked the wrong man, especially since she was officially divorced. She sighed. It was too late now, and she didn't even know when Chandler would be back. He had been very vague about that. She finally left the airport and headed back to her car. When he did come back, she'd be ready to finally settle down.

Joshua

Where had it gone wrong? Joshua pondered this as he rode the cab back to his place. He had just seen Rachel in a wedding dress, and that had really finished it for him. He thought she was more easy going than that. He had no idea she was in a mad rush to get married, especially after he'd explained to her about his ex. He wasn't even officially divorced yet! What was she thinking? He felt a little sad that their relationship was over so quickly. He did really like her, but he wasn't ready for marriage again so soon. He didn't know how he felt about marriage at all period right now. He just wanted to date and have some fun. He thought that's what Rachel wanted too.

"Aw man," he muttered, realizing that he'd have to stop going to his favorite clothing store now too because she worked there. The next place he went to he wasn't going to give any attention to the girls helping him. A good clothing store was hard to find.

I left out some minor ones as I didn't find them to be significant enough to write about. I'm glad to see you're still enjoying this story! On to season 5 in the next chapter ;)
