Thanks for reviewing! Here's the next chapter.
I've finished this story so the rest of the chapters should be up soon.
Chandler looked at his key board wondering what to write next. He sat there and read the letter over and over again. "Someday we will meet again. I'm glad you had company to keep you busy. Sorry that it was the one guy that you like the least, but from how you explained it it sounds like you two had some fun." And with that short little message Chandler sent it.
He felt bad about running Monica Geller out of business, but there was not much he could do about it now.
Monica and her staff was gathered at their restaurant. They haven't had business for three days. And today Monica has made her decision. "We're gonna close." She said sadly "I already hired the movers to come move our stuff out. I even put I note in the paper saying we have closed our doors." Monica looked around at her staff members that has carried with her through the years "I'm sorry that you guys won't be at a job anymore. But this is just something that I need to do. We won't be able to keep up with the bills."
They all nodded
"Closing is a very brave thing to do." Ross said passing through everybody to give his sister a hug "I know how much this place meant to you. With mom having it first. And all we have now is the memories." He told her softly "And no one can run the memories out of our heads like they've run our restaurant out of business."
After they all had one last dinner together in Taste of Liberty they went home, some went to the unemployment office. Monica went to Joe Joe's Pizza where she was meeting Pete for dinner. Which is why she only made the food that night, she didn't enjoy it.
When she walked in she saw Pete sitting at a table in the corner. She walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before sitting down.
After they ordered they talked.
"You are a wonderful person Monica. And just the thought that you would want to be with someone like me makes me feel like the most luckiest guy in the world." Pete said
"I feel exactly the same way."
"No, please don't talk. That makes it worse." He cut her off.
"Makes what worse? What-" Monica stopped when she realized "You don't love me."
He looked into her eyes and shook his head slowly "I'm sorry, I don't."
Monica smiled this whole dinner could not have gone better "To be honest. Me either." She shook her head
Pete came here to brake up with her only to find out she was having the same feelings lifted a weight off his shoulders. "Really?"
She nodded
"You don't love me?"
"No." She chuckled surprised that he didn't love her either but they were still with each other.
"But everyone thinks that we are so right for each other."
Monica nodded "I know."
Pete looked at her "Is there someone else?" He asked
Monica thought about it "I don't know yet. Maybe."
He nodded "Well I'm happy for you with whomever you choose."
Monica smiled "Thanks, I'm glad that you feel that way."
Later that night Monica went past Bing's Steakhouse and looked inside. She saw it crowded and over booked. Something she hasn't seen in awhile. She looked through the window not being able to get herself to walk inside and taste what it was about.
She saw Chandler walk out of the kitchen and over to a table that smiled and thanked him before leaving the restaurant.
Monica watched them walk past her as they talked.
"The best food I've had in ages." One said as the others agreed
She glanced back one last time before leaving.
Chandler looked out the window and saw Monica leaving the spot he watched from the kitchen.
Monica walked slowly back to her empty apartment for the night.
"Today as I walked home from work there was something going through my mind." Chandler began to type "I realized I wasn't happy where I was in life and how I got there. I needed to get out. I needed to leave my house and become a real person again. It didn't matter the money or the hard work. So, as I reached my home. I packed up my things and Casey and I moved out. We couldn't stay there any longer. We moved to a two bedroom apartment that just so happened to be right above Central Perk where we were suppose to meet. I hope you would still want to meet me."
Monica read the message. "Of course I would still want to meet you. Say Sunday around three in the park?"
Chandler smiled "That sounds perfect."
You might know where he moved to. Don't worry, it won't be over after that.
