Matthew Perry's 44th

Ok guys, yes another real life one, but this time at out Matthew perry mainly. I was originally intending to make it birthday special, but then I added stuff about his son so it will be another continuation. I hope you like it please review and vote.

disclaimer: I keep forgetting this, but I own nothing

I wake up, rub my eyes and then check the clock, it reads 8:30am.

Urgh, the day has finally come, I'm 44.

I open my phone and see I have like a million twitter notifications.

I unlock it and check them, they are mostly just from the fans wishing me a happy birthday, telling me how much the love me and ensuring me I'm not old.

I see a few video links repeated, I watch them and thank the creators.

I continue going through.

Boring

Boring

Boring

Finally one catches my eye, it reads-

Hey Matty, it's been so long, but I still have all our memories, like when we met, when we finished, how every time I got to work, even in the hard times, you and your jokes always cheered me up, but most of all, all those ten birthdays we celebrated together, and even after all these years, I still remember the first one, do you? Happy birthday Chandler Muriel Bing, from your loving friend/wife, Monica Elizabeth Geller-Bing.

I finish reading the tweet, I have the biggest smile on my face yet I see tears dropping onto my phone at the same time.

I check the account to see if it is actually her, and not some fake, fan, pretending.

But the account name clearly reads-

Courteney Cox

I start typing a reply and hit send.

Thanks Court, I remember all those things too, especially the first birthday. Btw we should catch up some time.

I jump in the shower and start thinking about my first birthday I celebrated as a friend.

Flashback 1994

"Ok Matthew, open your eyes," Courteney says.

We have just finished the party with everyone and Courteney has lead me to her surprise.

I open my eyes and see we are on the balcony of the apartment 20 set. There are fairy lights everywhere and a table and two chairs in the middle. On the table there are two plates with pizza on them, two wine glasses and a bottle of wine.

"Oh, Courteney, thank you," I say.

"That's ok, should we sit?"

We sit down and start eating, then I pour some wine for Courteney and some for me.

"Thanks."

We finish eating and we get up and sit on the edge of the balcony.

We stare at each other for a second, before Courteney leans in and kisses me, I kiss back.

We continue kissing, but brake when we hear a noise.

"Oh shit, security, duck down here," she says getting down onto the ground.

I follow her and we lie there trying not to laugh as we see a light pass above us.

After a few minutes later after the light has gone we get up and burst into laughter.

Present day

I'm interrupted from my thoughts by a knocking at the bathroom door.

"Dad! You've been in there for 15 minutes, are you ok?" I hear my 14 year old son, Joey yell.

During the filming of friends I had a one night stand with a girl, but it turned out she was pregnant, and she only told me she was pregnant when she was almost due, because she thought it would cause a big scandal. But I wanted I go through with it if she wanted me to, I mean it was my son, so I was there through the birth and stuff, so she let me name him, but then she decided she loved him so much she wanted to keep him. After friends had finished, she had found a new boyfriends and didn't want a this other kid, who had nothing to do with this new guy, hanging around ruining what might become her new family so she gave me full custody of him and I've been a single dad ever since. Yeah, there have been the occasional date, but I still think I have my eye on someone else.

And yes I named him after one of my best friends characters, because if I named him Matt, it would have been so confusing.

"Yeah buddy, I'm fine, just thinking of how old I am," I say.

"Dad, you're not that old! As I've said many times before, you are way younger than most my friends parents," Joey says, annoyed that I'm complaining about my age once again, like I do every birthday.

"Whatever, I'm still old," I say.

"Anyway, are you getting out soon? I'm starving"

"Yeah, I'll be down in a second Joe."

Unlike what most famous people, I don't have a different person doing stuff for me, I like my independence, so I cook, kinda clean and do most other things without hiring anyone.

The only things I really hired people for was if there was a repair I really couldn't fix, or when Joey was younger and I went out, I'd hire a babysitter. I never even hired a nanny, because I loved being there for him, number one dad he used to call me.

I did get a lot of parenting tips from Lisa, Courteney and Matt though.

I turned the shower off and stood there for a second before grabbing a towel, drying off a bit and then wrapping it around my waste and walking back into my bedroom to grab some clothes.

A few minutes later I walk down stairs and into the kitchen, which is joined with the family room. I look at the couch and see Joey with his iPad in his hand, and the TV turned on.

I look at the TV screen and realize there's a picture of me on it, so I go over and listen.

"Actor Matthew Perry turns 44 today, and although we all love him, is it time he should retire and become a full time dad? I mean his son, Joey, is now a teenager, so that must be difficult for both of them. Especially when with this whole scandal. In this clip we see Joey getting beaten up by a whole bunch of guys who seem to be his good friend Julian Kudrows friends, as they are kicking him Julian just stands there watching, until a teacher see them and they all run away. Ahh the life of a teen..."

Matthew looks down at his son angrily.

"I thought you said you fell off your bike, I can't believe Julian would do this I thought you were friends?"

"I thought we were too, but these other guys, who are cooler told him he could join them if he did what they said, and I told him never to disagree with them, because they would make his life hell, so he didn't. He told me after he just wanted to do what we both said to do, even though he desperately wanted to help me, it's not his fault," Joey pleads.

"I think I need to call Lisa and talk to her about this, and my birthday wasn't bad enough."
