I just got an awesome review, so yay! I'm thinking about uploading this story to wattpad too, what do y'all think about that? Anyways, I have anotha chappie here! :)


Monica tried knocking again the next morning, and waited for someone to answer. She had to talk to Chandler to figure out what was going on. She took a deep breath as the door opened.

Joey was standing there, looking half asleep. "Mon? What are you doing here?" He asked, crossing his arms.

She was taken aback by his sudden hostility towards her. "Look, I need to talk to Chandler. Its important." She said softly, swaying back and forth. "I had received a message from him yesterday saying that I was better off without him, so I was going to ask him about it."

Phoebe walked out of Chandler's room, looking exhausted. She walked over to them. "I don't think that would be a good idea." She spoke up. "You know, he had this whole proposal planned out for you, but then you get back at Richard, so I guess congratulations are in order," she signaled to the ring on Monica's left hand. "He asked you, huh? And you so happened to say yes? How would you think he would react if he saw that ring on your finger?"

Monica was silent for a moment. "What was I suppose to tell him? No because the guy I love doesn't want to get married?" She sighed in exasperation. "I want marriage."

Joey held up his hand for her to be silent. "So, let me get this straight. Marriage is more important than what you had with Chandler?" He shook his head, but before she could say anything, he slammed the door.

Monica just stared at the closed door, then went back into her own apartment. She would have to choose between Chandler and marriage? She shook her head, then sat down on the couch.


Phoebe had sat down on the couch. "How would he even take the news of her being engaged to Richard now?" She asked softly, glancing at her hands. They had both alternated staying up, keeping watch on him.

Joey was pacing back and forth, rubbing his head. "I don't know, we can't tell him though."

She sighed. "I know it." She stood up. "I'll just go and check on him," she said, then walked into his room.

Chandler was laying on his side with his back to her, but she knew he wasn't sleeping. She sat on edge of the bed beside him. "Chandler?" She asked softly. "Why don't we just go into the kitchen and eat a nice warm meal?"

He rolled over to glance at her. "Is it just you and Joey here?" He asked softly to which she simply just nodded. He sat up slowly. "Alright," he answered getting up.

She placed her hand in his, then led him out of the room. "Look whose awake."

Joey glanced over at them. "Hey, man. Feeling any better today?" He walked into the kitchen, then poured a glass of coffee.

Chandler sat in the barcalounger. "Not really," he answered.

Phoebe had gone to scramble an egg.

Joey walked back over to him, then handed him the cup of coffee. "Here you go. Phoebe is fixing you some breakfast." He sat down in the other barcalounger. "So you're not feeling any better, but how are you now?"

Chandler took a small drink of the coffee. "I miss Mon, and I want to talk to her again."

A few moments later, Phoebe came back with a plate of eggs. "Here you go," she said, handing it to him.


Rachel and Ross dropped by half an hour ago to spend time with Monica and Richard. "They wouldn't even let me talk to him.." Monica was saying. "They both looked tired though."

Rachel wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Listen, Mon. You're engaged to Richard now."

Monica shook her head. "I know, but I think he tried to kill himself yesterday. He had left a disturbing message on my answering machine last night, and I was going to ask him about it, but they won't let me see him today."

Ross clenched his fist. "Don't worry about him, Mon. He's probably just seeking attention. You just focus on marrying Richard."

Monica gave a slight smile. "Okay," she said.


Chandler had fallen asleep in the barcalounger. Joey grabbed some cover, then him and Phoebe covered him up. They both sat down on the couch. "Pheebs, you go ahead and get some sleep, I'll take first watch," Joey suggested.

Phoebe nodded. "Sure." She laid down on the other side of the couch, and quickly fell asleep.

Joey kept almost dozing off when someone banged on the door. He glanced over at Chandler and Phoebe, whom were both still sleeping, then walked over to the door and opened it. "What?" He asked tiredly.

Ross was standing there. "What's the deal not letting Monica talk to Chandler?" He asked.

Joey glared at him. "We don't think he could have handled seeing her, especially with a ring on her finger!"

Ross just rolled his eyes. "He just seeking attention again? Mon told us about the call on her answering machine from him, saying that we're better off without him."

Joey shook his head. "No he's not, now just leave us alone. Let us try and help him, and you just worry about Mon." He closed the door, then went back to his previous chair.


Ross just punched the wall, then went back into Monica's apartment. He paused beside Rachel. Monica had fallen asleep on Richard's shoulder watching a movie. He pulled the cover over her. "Look at her," he said softly, as Richard wiggled out from under her.

Rachel and Richard were also just watching her. "Does she know you went across the hall?" Rachel asked, crossing her arms.

He shook his head. "I don't believe so. They were watching the movie when I left," he answered.


Phoebe woke up around 5:00 that morning. "Joey?" She asked. "You still awake?" She heard a silent groan, so figured he must have accidentally drifted off. She sat up on the couch. She glanced over at the barcalounger where Chandler was still lying. His eyes were opened, staring at the ceiling. She leaned closer to him. "Chandler?" She asked softly. "You up? How long have you been awake?"

Chandler jumped when she spoke. "Maybe for an hour? You were both sleeping.." he murmured softly. But before she could say anything else, he drifted off again.


Author's Note: I had trouble finding an ending to this chapter, so I hope I did alright there. Anyways, stories feed off of reviews which is probably why this one and my other were doing so well. And anyways, you know the drill: review, follow, favorite, all preferably all three if you haven't already. Thanks!

Tall, out!
