TOW He's Gone

This is a continuance of TOW Monica Realises. To understand
this, you should read that. This fanfic has a song lyrics
in it, Backstreet Boys: Back To Your Heart from their
Millennium CD. They will be in quotes (" "). Now I will
start.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters, nor the song
or the writers, you know the rest.

Scene: NY sidewalk. Chandler is standing there trying to get
a cab.

Chan(thinking): I did it. I'm leaving her. I can't believe
it. I always thought that we would be together forever.
Little did I know. I guess I never thought of my stupididty
when I said that. I miss her already. I wonder if she has
found the note yet. It will break her heart, I know. But
I figure I hurt it worse, so she might be a little happy.
She deserves better. (A cab pulls up and he steps in, with
one final glance back to the apartment building. Tears
filling his eyes, he glaces at Central Perk and sits down
and shuts the door.)

Scene: The Hallway. Monica runs out of her and Chan- I
mean just her apartment.

Mon: Chandler! Wait! Where are you?
(Ross, Joey, Phoebe, and Rachel run out after her, shutting
the door behind them. Monica checks Joey's apartment, and
when she sees that he's not there, runs down the stairs,
outside.)

Ross: Are you sure about this?

Mon: Yes, I am.
(They run into Central Perk, and see that he's not there,
either.)

Rach: Where did he go?

Joey: I don't know. Can we go back to the apartment?

Mon: Joey, that's a good idea, we could call his work and
see if he's there!

Joey: Actually, I was just hungry, but okay!

They all ran back up to the apartment and Monica was about
to open the door when she saw an envelope taped to the
outside of the door. The front of the envelope read
'Monica' so she grabbed it and took it inside. Monica
was really worried. She had an idea about what this was
for, but she kept it to herself. She opened the envelope
and took out the note. It said:

Monica,

I'm so sorry I had to do this to you. I never ment to. If
you can't forgive me, I understand, I just thought you
might want the truth of what happened that day. I was
planning to meet with a salesperson, and I didn't want you
to see what I was buying, so I had to plan it when you
weren't home. I was really nervous the previous days beacause
you are so smart I thought that you would figure it out.
What I wanted to get you is in the letter, (Monica starts
reach into the envelope) but don't look at it yet, I still
have to explain something (Monica takes back her hand and
continues to read). When you saw me hugging that woman,
it was out of comeplete stupidity. I was so happy that
everything had worked out okay, or so I thought, and that
you hadn't found out, that I hugged her for no reason.
I'm sorry about that. I caused you so much pain, and I'm
sorry. I saw it in your eyes, and it was then that I
realised something. I can't be with you anymore. (Monica
looks devistated) I don't deserve to be with you after
I've caused you so much pain and heartache. You deserve
someone better, someone who would never do that to you.
Mon, you will be able to find that guy, and he will be
the luckiest man in the world, I'm just so sorry that
I missed my chance. (Tears are now rolling down Monica's
face) Please don't try to find me. It will be the best
for both of us. If I could do anything to make it up to
you, I would, but it is too hard. I don't want to go
back to those looks of hatred you and the others gave
me. I couldn't live with seeing you like that. I would
do anything to find a way back to your heart, but if
I go back I will just see the look of pain in your eyes
and I can't live with that. You can look in the envelope
now. (Monica reaches intothe envelope as she reads the
last sentence) Good-bye, Monica.

Chandler Bing

Monica pulled out the thing in the envelope, and sees that
it is an engagement ring. She can't take it anymore. She
runs into her room with both of those things. No one else,
not Ross, Joey, Rachel, or Phoebe saw what she had pulled
out of the envelope. They all exchanged questioning looks,
but they figured what it was about. Chandler broke up with
her, and was sorry. They knew that she would be sad, so
they decided to leave her alone for a little while. They
left and decided to go down to Central Perk.

Scene: Monica's room. She is sitting on her bed and crying.

Mon(thinking): Why did I have to get so mad at him? Why
couldn't I have just listened to his explination and then
this would just be another stupid fight. But, it wouldn't.
He was going to propose, which just made her feel worse.
He was going to ask her to spent the rest of her life with
him. Chandler, the one who was so afraid of commitment,
wanted to marry her. But she had to be so stubbern and
not listen to him. She felt so stupid. The only thing
she wanted to do was go find him and apologise, to spend
the rest of her life with him in her arms. But she messed
up. He was gone.

"It's not that I don't want to live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day we said goodbye (Shot to Monica crying
in her room)
If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holding you (Shot to Chandler sitting in
the cab crying)
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew (Shot to Monica, then Chandler,
looking the same)
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart (Shot to Monica's reaction
from when she read the letter)
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart. (Final shot of Chandler
crossing the state line.)


I know, it was really short. I will probably be continuing
soon, and using more lines from the song. I could make this
one really long, but I know that when I read fanfics that
are really long, I stark skimming down to just the
important parts, so I figure that I should write a short
one, where all the parts are important! (Well, almost
all of them.) So, anyways, I will be continuing soon, but
only if you want me to. Please write good reviews and I
will be inspired to write faster! If you have any additional
comments or pointers, please e-mail me at:

Happy Reading!
