I stand there.. awkwardly seeing if anyone saw that. But nobody has stopped talking or even looked in my direction. The room is so packed with people that there's barely any room for personal space! So I should be safe..

Hana said he still loved me ? He should be glad to see me? Was she not telling the truth?

I wonder if Hana is here.. I push past the same curtain Chandler did and it opens to a small hallway with cold concrete floors and brick walls.

There are many doors but one remains open. The room lets out light that shines shadows of 2 figures onto the hallway floor which I suspect is Chandler and somebody I don't know.

I hear him arguing with somebody and slowly walk over to the room but freeze beside the door. I risk getting caught by Chandler.. if he has something he'd like to say he should be perfectly fine saying it when I'm around.

"Just keep your distance." One voice says

"How can I have a 'fun day' when she is in the same BUILDING!?" Chandlers voice is the loudest and deepest I've ever heard it.

"Chandler.. there is nothing we can do about it now."

There is a moment of silence before there is a sigh

"Keep her away from me." Chandler finishes and I hear his feet shuffling.

I bite my lip as I see him walk out of the room.. his back is to me at first but he notices I'm standing there and a flash of anger moves across his face.

"What happened to you?" OMG why would I say that! I'm hitting myself in the face mentally.

Chandlers reaction shocks me.

His angry frown turns into a half smile as he does a small snort.

"No seriously Chandler, what did I do to you?"

His face goes blank.. no reaction at all except for those puppy dog eyes I fell in love with at the audition.

I sort of freeze in the moment just staring into those baby blues that once again have me trapped.

He finally looks down and I'm free, but still keep my cool and await his response.

His eyes begin to tear up and I drop my arms

"Chandler-" I begin.. But never finish.

He shakes his head and walks away before I can finish and before he starts to cry. I feel like a horrible person.

But I still can't help but wonder what I did? I don't recall ever doing anything to hurt him.. he was the last one to send a letter and the last one to say I love you.

But 2 days later was when pictures surfaced of Chandler and Hana in San Fransisco and everyone immediately suspected they would start dating if they haven't already.

So actually, he was the one to hurt me!

I still have the letter at home.. and the letter I was going to send back.

It's unopened and stamped and everything.

It was the letter that was going to tell him I love him.. I miss him and I'll do the 'long distance thing' and that when I start driving I'll visit him all the time!

But the letter still remains in the box of all the things Chandler's ever given to me and all the pictures and memories of him that are put away in my closet.

There are a few tear stains on the envelope of the few days I cried and cried from being so broken hearted.

I contemplated sending the letter although it was confirmed 'Chana' was a thing. Id just pretend I didn't know about it and send the letter anyway.. but I knew that wouldn't be fair.

I never told anyone this. I always acted cool with it and over Chandler when in reality the mention of him name made me want to cry even more.

But Hana is a great person and I'm so glad that it's her instead of someone else.

A lady finds me walking down the hall and introduces herself as Shana who will be my escort for the day.

She leads me to my booth where my poster hangs for everyone to see and there are already people waiting in line for autographs and pictures.

I also have a photo op later so I'm not suppose to really take any pictures with fans now but I ignore that and do it anyway.

I sit down on my chair where a few photos are laid out with a sign saying $20 per autograph.

Some photos are my professional head shots and whatnot and a few are still shots from the show when I was younger.

Fans begin walking up to my booth introducing themselves.. giving me nice gifts, asking for selfies and personalized autographs.

Some of them ask questions and some of them don't say anything but hi and thank you but others scream and ask for hugs which I love to give.

When it's over I get a small break but I'm rushed to the panel where many fans and press wait in the audience asking questions, taking photos and recording videos.

I get asked a few questions but thankfully nothing related to Chandler.

"How has your life changed since you've left the show?" Asks one person

"Oh my goodness.. it has drastically changed in so many wonderful way." I begin

"I've met so many amazing people and I've grown tons and tons of great relationships but the most important thing is that I feel so loved and most certainly welcomed by all the fans and cast and crew. They welcomed me with open arms and their support has meant the world to me. I'll always consider them part of my family as they will me and I'm blessed to say that." I finish with a smile and feel the tears form in my eyes.

Emily who's sits beside me pulls me in for a sweet side hug and a few more words and the panel ends.

I walk off the stage and realize I have an hour until my photo op.

Chandler is at his photo op right now and I hopefully won't see him for the rest of the day..

I never admitted it to myself or anyone but ever since I've been here all I can think about is Chandler.. how I hope I won't see him but deep down inside I pray I do.

The cast hasn't said a word about or to him and I haven't asked them a thing about the situation.

Everyone is so talkative and loving with everyone but him and I'm starting to believe what Hana said it true.. about his new ego.

I feel a pair of arms wrap around me from behind and smile as their face rests above my shoulder planting a kiss on my neck.

I can tell by his arms and grip that it's Noah and swing around to give him a hug.

"Thought I'd stop by and say hello." he says with a smile

"I'm so glad you did. I miss you" I pull him into another hug and hold on for as long as I can before he speaks again.

"I saw Chandler." Noah says

Why must he mention his name? My own BOYFRIEND!?

I sigh..

"Noah.. I don't want to talk about him." I say letting go of his embrace.

I cross my arms and contemplate walking away.

"I'm sorry.. I know it's a touchy subject."

It's quiet for a moment.. I bite my lip before grabbing his hand.

"Wanna go get yogurt?" I ask with a smile, the mood changes instantly and we momentarily leave the convention.
