Chandler Bing slammed the door of Central Perk and ran out of there as fast as he could.
What did Rachel mean that she loved him? How could Rachel love him? Rachel loved Ross! Everybody knew that!
He was just getting himself confused...wait what was the other thing that Rachel said? About Monica and Joey? His girlfriend Monica and his best friend Joey? Did she say that she caught them kissing? Was Monica cheating on him?
"I suppose it was inevitable," he thought to himself, "she's too good for me. She probably got bored of me and needed something new."
Chandler was just depressing himself, and knew that this wasn't a smart thing to do. Monica was going away this weekend to a culinary fair, or was she? Maybe she was just saying that so she could be with Joey without anyone knowing. Well, if she was cheating on him with his best friend maybe he should do the same. He thought to himself but doubting he would ever actually have the nerve to do so.
"Okay, thats everything packed." Monica told chandler as she zipped up her suitcase. "I'll see you in three days, miss you already." She smiled sweetly.
"Miss you too, see you soon." He said glumly as he closed the door on Monica.
She picked up her suitcase and took it down the stairs, sadly, wondering why chandler was acting so cold and distant. Had she done something wrong? Had he stopped loving her? She didn't have time to worry about it though as she had a plane to catch. She rushed out the apartment building towards the airport.
Chandler stared at the door, the door the love of his life had just walked through. He needed a drink, alcohol, it would help him forget her, forget the betrayal, forget the love. So he got out a whisky glass and filled it to the brim. He swallowed it in one quick motion and could feel it go down his throat, it stung like crazy but it felt better than heartbreak. He filled the glass again, and again downed it in one. He knew that this wasn't a good idea but he needed to get Monica out of his head.
He continued to down glass after glass until he had finished the bottle. He then proceeded to get another bottle and finished that quickly too.
When he was just about to start the third bottle, he heard a knock at the door. He didn't want any of his friends to see him like this, wasted, and longing for something in his life that wouldn't destroy him. The person at the door obviously didn't care that he hadn't told them that they could enter though, as he heard the door creaking open, and someone switch the light on, which he had turned off earlier so that he couldn't see how bad he looked in his reflection in the TV opposite him.
"Honey, are you okay?" Rachel. It was Rachel. Chandler could tell that voice from a million miles away.
"Rachel..." Chandler's voice was low and hoarse, that's what the alcohol did to him.
"Yes sweetie?" Rachel seemed really worried about him; maybe he should tell her that he overheard Rachel and Phoebe's conversation earlier that day.
"I...emm...I...I have to tell you something," Chandler gestured towards the space on the sofa next to him, meaning for Rachel to sit there. She did. Once she was sat Chandler continued, "Do you really think that Monica would cheat on me?" he saw her look both worried and scared, and quickly added before she could deny it, "I heard you and Phoebe talk earlier at Central Perk. I just can't believe that Monica would do something like that to me, I mean I always expected it, she could get so much better than me!" Chandler looked at Rachel to see what she thought of his outburst.
"You heard me and Phoebe earlier? How much did you hear?" now she looked positively petrified. Chandler obviously knew why, she didn't want him to know that she loved him. Nobody would want that!
"If you're talking about when you told Phoebe that you loved me, I know, if it was something after that I don't know, because that was when I left," Chandler looked over at Rachel. She sat next to him, with her face in her hands, knees pinned tightly to her chest, trying to curl up into herself. She started rocking slightly and quiet sobs started to escape from her.
"Rachel, are you okay?" Chandler asked worriedly, "Come over here," he spoke in a quiet voice, trying to soothe her, as her pulled her into him, holding her close and trying to stop her from shaking.
"Chandler...Chandler...I'm so sorry Chandler," Rachel managed to utter those words through her sobs. Chandler was confused by this.
"Why would you be sorry, you have done nothing wrong, Monica is the one to blame, and she was the one who cheated on me. You Rachel, you are perfect, and always have been," his words were slurring together, he really had had to much to drink! He continued, "To be honest with you I was shocked when I heard you say that you loved me, but I was also so happy that you had said that. I never in a million years thought that you would love me! Can I tell you something?" he looked down upon the curled up ball beneath his right arm. He saw a slight movement within the ball and assumed that she meant for him to continue, "I was in love with you in college, I loved you sooooo much! But I couldn't do anything about it. Ross was in love with you and everyone knew it, I couldn't ruin that for him by asking you out, because that was all I ever wanted to do, was ask you out Rachel Karen Green."
As soon as he had said this, Rachel leaped upon him, kissing him hard. Chandler was shocked that he kissed back but soon they melted into it, Chandler's mind flicked to the thought of Monica, but quickly flicked back to the fact that Rachel Karen Green was kissing him! Him! Chandler never thought that this would happen, but surprisingly he wanted to continue, there was a feeling in the pit of his stomach, one that he knew could only mean one thing.
They continued to kiss, eventually moving it into the bedroom. They knew it was wrong, but it felt so right.
