Thanks for the reviews. :D When I had this idea, it was going to be a one shot but I got tired yesterday so I just split it up into two parts. So here's chapter 2.
Chandler banged on both Jack and Erica's doors and told them to get up and go downstairs. It was 9 so he had let them sleep in a little. He had told Monica all about what had happened and she was a little calmer than him. He was still pretty angry with both of them.
"Sit." He told them as he pointed to the couch.
"Give me your phones and you're both grounded for a month."
"Fine." The both said in unison as they handed over their phones.
"What the hell were you guys thinking? No, don't answer that. You weren't thinking." Chandler replied. He knew he would regret what he was saying to them later, but he was just really mad. "I thought you were smarter than that. I thought I could trust you guys, but apparently not."
"sorry…" They both said. Erica stared at the ground. She hated being in trouble. She had never even been grounded before. While Jack wasn't a rebellious kid, he wasn't a "goody two shoes" like he considered Erica to be. He was caught off guard when the personalities were reversed the night of the party.
"That's all that you have to say for yourselves. You know what? Go to your rooms. I'm done here." They both went off to their rooms. Chandler looked at Monica, "you're quiet today."
"I just don't think your attitude with them was really necessary. They screwed up. They clearly feel bad. I just think the punishment we agreed on was enough. You didn't need to make them feel like crap."
"They went to a party and got drunk! What I said was clearly true. They weren't thinking. And now we can't trust them."
"It doesn't mean you needed to be harsh like that."
"Ugh, you know what, screw it. I'm going out for a drive. I'll be back later." Chandler said as he walked out of the house slamming the door behind him.
Monica jumped when the door slammed. She decided to go check on Erica. Something seemed a little off with her.
She knocked on Erica's door. "Hey, it's me. Can I come in?"
"Yeah, it's unlocked."
Monica sat on her bed beside her. "Are you okay?"
"No… I-I think I... did… it for the first time last night… I don't really remember. I was really drunk. Dad's right. I'm stupid." Erica said as she began to cry.
Monica wrapped her in a hug. "No, you're not. That's not what he meant. He just thought you guys wouldn't pull something like that. He was in shock."
They continued to talk for about a half hour before Chandler came back. He walked upstairs to Erica's room and called Jack in her room too. "I'm sorry for everything I said. Mon, I'm sorry for snapping on you, you were right." He said as he went over and hugged her.
"Jack, Erica I'm sorry for being so hard on you guys. I just didn't expect you guys to do something like that. Just please promise me you won't do that again. Something bad could've happened to you guys and I don't know what I'd do without you. You did the right thing by calling and asking to be picked up. I'm proud of you Jack for calling and for taking care of your sister. If you guys ever get stuck somewhere after having a few drinks, you can always call us."
"We promise we won't do it again. And we'll keep that in mind." They told him. They knew they wouldn't break that promise. They both regretted that party, especially Erica.
Chandler went over to his kids and hugged them both as they all exchanged "I love you"s.
Matt walked in, "hi!" he yelled.
"Aw hi buddy, come here." Monica picked him up and they all had a group hug.
Aw happy family. It kind of reminds me of a Full House episode in a way.
