The next day, Chandler woke up earlier than usual. It was as if he couldn't wait to do something. He headed out of his bedroom and tried to make himself breakfast. 'Why do I suck at making breakfast?' He asked himself. 'It's probably because I never did any of the cooking. It was always her thing.' Chandler thought. 'No! No Chandler, You're moving on. Monica is the past. You're never getting back together. Face the truth.' He thought to himself, nodding in agreement. It was true, Monica is his past and he is moving on. Or at least, trying to. Deciding that he couldn't make his own breakfast, he headed back to his bedroom and fell asleep.
A few hours later, he wakes up to the noises made by his friends in his living room.
"I'm telling you, Pheebs, he still loves her." He heard Rachel say.
Upon hearing their conversation, he decided to go out of his room and finally eat some breakfast.
"Good Morning, guys." Chandler said, rubbing his eyes in order to see better.
Rachel and Phoebe immediately stopped their conversation, eyeing each other as if they were saying , "I'll tell you later."
" Whatcha guys up to?" Chandler asked.
" Well, we're eating some breakfast." Ross said.
" But it's not so good. Man, I miss Monica's cooking." Joey said.
Phoebe, Ross and Rachel stared at him.
"What? I do miss her cooking." Joey said, not getting the point.
"Okay, that's enough Joey, we've got to go. Bye, Guys!" Phoebe said, dragging along Joey with her.
"Well, would you look at the time! Looks like I'm late for that... style meeting. Bye!" Rachel waved and left, as if she were avoiding an awkward topic.
"So, I guess it's just you and me, Ross. What's time will you go to work?" Chandler asked.
"Actually Chandler, I don't have work today, their testing out this new teacher and they're checking if he could handle a major class, so I volunteered myself and lent him my class for today." Ross explained.
"Well okay then, so you're free for today?" Chandler asked.
"Uhm, yeah." Ross replied.
Chandler sat on a seat on the kitchen table and started drinking some coffee. After a few minutes of silence, Ross spoke up.
"uhm Chandler, there was something I'd wanted to talk to you about." Ross said.
"Okay, what about?" Chandler asked.
"Well, Mon's birthday's coming up." Ross started.
"Of course it was, how could I forget'? Chandler thought.
"Anyway, they're throwing a surprise party at my parents' house, and they invited you too. So do you think you want to go?" Ross said.
Chandler appeared to be deep in thought. "Uhm, Yeah, Of course, Why wouldn't I want to go?" Chandler asked as if their break up wasn't such a big deal.
Ross understood how he felt, so he didn't question. "Okay, Great! It's on Saturday..." Ross kept going on and on about the events of the day. Chandler wasn't even paying any attention. He was too busy thinking about if he should really go or not. 'It might bring up the feelings.' He thought. "Feelings? What feelings?I don't feel anything for Mon, anymore.' He had to make sure of himself.
"You know what Ross, On second thought, I can't go on Saturday." Chandler said, "we have a really important presentation on Monday, and we'll have a meeting about it on Saturday. Tell her 'Happy Birthday' for me, okay?" He said.
"Okay, but can you reconsider it Chandler? This is Monca we're talking about. She's gonna want to see you there." Ross said.
"Okay, but don't expect me to change my mind. I'll rethink it, but don't expect anything." Chandler said.
"Okay, so what do you want to do now?" Ross asked.
"I'm not really sure, want to go down to the Coffee place, see if Joey and Pheebs are done hiding there?" Chandler said.
"Yeah, okay." Ross agreed.
The day passed by and the week flew by even faster. Friday came and the 5 friends we're sitting on the couch in Central Perk.
"So, Chandler, you're really not going?" Pheebs asked.
"No, Pheebs, I'm sorry, It's just that there's so much work to be done." Chandler apologized.
"Oh, okay. We'll just send her your regards." Pheebs replied.
"That would be great Pheebs, thanks." Chandler replied with a smile.
Saturday came and Joey, Ross, Rachel and Phoebe we're getting ready to leave. Chandler was sitting on the couch watching television.
"Okay, Chandler we're going."Phoebe said.
"Okay, Have fun!" Chandler told them.
"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Pheebs asked one last time.
"Yes, I'm really really sure." Chandler said.
" Okay you said so." Pheebs said.
"Bye!" Chandler waved good bye as his friends walked out the door.
Chandler sat on the couch and just settled with watching TV. His friends left the apartment around 30 minutes ago. He was sure it had started. 'I bet their having so much fun'. He thought.
"I have to go there." He said to himself. "I need to see her and see if I'm completely over her. I need the closure."
Being sure with his decision, Chandler got off the couch and got ready for the party. He left the apartment and bought a gift. He took a cab and headed for the Gellers' residence.
As the taxi cab approached the familiar house, a car stopped in front of the Gellers' lawn. A woman got out of the car in a beautiful short dress. It was Monica.
"Oh God no. The party hasn't started." Chandler said.
He told the taxi cab driver to park for awhile in front of a lawn three houses away from the Gellers'. He waited for the woman to go inside and when she did. He paid the fare, thanked the cab driver and headed out.
As he approached the house, he heard the many voices of the guests greeting her a very 'Happy Birthday'.
Inside the house, Richard kissed Monica and greeted her, " Happy Birthday, Mon."
"You planned all this? Thank You. " She thanked him.
"Were you surprised?" Richard asked her.
Monica wasn't paying attention to her husband whe he asked this, she was too busy looking around the house that was decorated in birthday balloons and banners.
Noticing that Monica didn't hear him ask, he asked again, "Mon, were you surprised?"
And as soon as he finished his line, the door flew open. Chandler appeared on the door step. He was holding a gift in one hand and holding the door knob on the other.
"Hey Mon, Happy Birthday." Chandler said, not moving an inch.
Realizing, Richard's question and noticing the man that stood by the door she answered her husband's question, "Pleasantly."
And with that, it's like time froze and it was only Chandler and Monica in the room. Monica was looking at Chandler and Chandler was looking at her. A few seconds later, Pheebs, Ross, Rachel and Joey went up to Chandler.
"Hey, you came!" Joey said happily.
"Yeah, I kind of realized that I needed the closure." Chandler said.
And with that, the group of 5 hugged each other by the door. Leaving Monica to look aith envy at what she's missing out on. A friendship.
A/N: That chapter sucked. I'm so sorry, I just didn't know what to put.
