What If Chandler Bing Didn't Exist...? [F.R.I.E.N.D.S]

Chapter Twenty Four: Janice Litman Goralnik Neihosenstein

I froze. I didn't know how to move. It was as if my body had just turned to stone except for my eyes which were just moving everywhere. I was getting ready to face my most biggest fear. My eyes were tightly shut as I clenched my teeth, closed my hands into a fist, not wanting to punch her or anything... okay, maybe, but I was restraining from doing that. My feet finally let me move and I started to swivel towards where the most annoying voice I have ever heard sounded.

To my biggest surprise, she wasn't saying 'Oh, my, God,' to me, but instead to a different person. What? That's literally the strangest thing that has ever happened. I'm not sure if I should include me coming into this world, but it probably was stranger than that.

I walked up towards her, the sweat from my hands getting wetter by every step. I took a gulp as I steadily but slowly crept my way towards her. Man, did I take a long time to walk up towards a person I hate.

For once, I was coming up to her, and not the other way around. Which I will say again, is really strange. And weird.

I tapped her on the shoulder because her back was to me and I saw a familiar face.

"Hi. Janice? Janice." I changed my tone of voice and gave an uncomfortable cough.

"Um, do I know you?" Her squeaky voice rang through my ears and I just wanted to block them as soon as possible.

"N-no, no, don't think so," I trembled at what I was going to say next, because I never would have thought that this would be what I would have to say.

"W-w-would you like to go o-o-out with me...? Like... right now?" I just needed to get this out of the way. I feel like I'm betraying Monica and I don't like that feeling. Even though we are "on a break" as Ross would call it, it's just horrible to think that I would do such a thing. Still I was hoping Janice would say yes.

"What really? Out of the blue?" Janice shrieked.

"Yeah I was hoping... you don't have a boyfriend or anything like that do you?" In asking that I pretty much knew that she didn't.. But hey in this world anything can happen, am I right?

"Well I was about to ask that gentleman over there... but this is so unexpected..." She looked away and possibly looked at the guy that she "admired" for a while and then back at me. "So tell me, what's your name?" She started looking at me with such curiosity that I started freaking out. Well actually I should've known, this was how she always treated me.

"Uh, Ch-chandler..." Alright so I started stuttering but it was definitely not for a good reason."Cha-andler Bing..."

"Oh, Bing what an unusual name..." She gave a giggle and before you even ask, it wasn't the type of cute laugh that Monica makes, it was more of a chortle that made your hairs prick up on the back of your neck. "Well I guess you can be my Bing-a-ling!"

I cringed at that name. Only she calls me that and that's the reason why I hate it so much.

I gave her a forced chuckle and put my hand on her back and led her to the nearest bar.

***
I woke up the next morning with a sort of person soothing my shoulder. At first I thought it was Monica so I had no problem with it. And then I heard the unmistakeable sound of a chortle you would recognise a mile away. My eyes opened straight away as I knew who was beside me. My eyes turned to right until they hurt.

"Good morning Bing-a-ling..." And then there was that snort again.

***
"Let's go out again... maybe to the park or something..." Janice nudged me and gave me a peculiar smile.

"R-really? Again? You sure that's necessary?" I gave her a questionable look. I was planning on breaking up with her but as you know I am horrible at those kind of things.

Apparently I was making her breakfast for some reason that I don't really know. And they were pancakes too, so I suppose I got that from Joey since he always told me to make them as soon as I tell them that Joey wasn't looking for a relationship. which in fact he wasn't but he just wanted to, you know, sleep with her.

"Yeah, why not? I mean we are like a couple now." Here comes the laugh. And with that I laugh I always give a forced chuckle and a "blowing my brains out" action.

After we had the pancakes that I made not out of love, we headed out towards the door and out to the coffee shop.

I had changed her mind before that the park wasn't necessary. The other reason why was because it would be an easier way for me to break up with her. I have done it once why not again? Alright, I didn't break up with her, Phoebe did but at least I tried.

"Okay so let's just go to Central Perk..." I started. "And let's get this over an done with..." I mumbled under my breath.

As I led her out of the door, apartment number 20's door swung open. And my heart either skipped a beat or it just stopped.

"Chandler?!" She screeched. I was about to say something but nothing came out.

Monica saw me with Janice. And Janice was leading the way with my hand in hers, pulling me away from Monica. Exactly how our relationship was heading.
