Author's note: Hello people! I just had this idea one night when I couldn't sleep so decided to write it. There is not many stories that focuses around Jack and Erica Bing...until now. Mmwhahaha. Okay i'm done, enjoy the story and tell me what আপনি think! :) Oh and this story is told from Erica's side, just in case আপনি couldn't tell দ্বারা the the very first sentence :)
It is mine and Jack's 11th birthday today and we want to have a sleep over with all our cousins and close friends.
Later that night, after the party has died down and everyone has gone প্রথমপাতা except for all the kids that was going to stay the night, and mom and dad went upstaires so they weren't "in the way" as Jack had said. We all decided to tell ghost stories.
We all got in a বৃত্ত inside the tent that dad put up after me and Jack begged him, because we wanted to get the 'full effect' of a sleepover. Okay, before I continue I'll tell আপনি everyone that is sleeping over, Emma who is 12, Jack and I both now 11, Cody, aunt Phoebe and Mike's oldest which is 11 also, Jenny which is 10 Phoebe and Mike's other kid, and Johnathon who is the youngest 9. He is Jack's friend from across the street.
Jack wanted to go first because...well because he wanted to, he never really gave a good reason why he should go first.
As he was thinking of a 'really scary story' to tell we all sat there impatiently cooking smore's over a light-bulb.
"OKAY I'V GOT IT!" Jack yelled causing the light-bulb to flicker off and back on again "Alright, once upon a time..." Jack started "...wait let me start all over that sounds cheesy...." He paused "Okay, one night in the town of 'Franks'..."
"Franks?" everyone questioned
"Yes 'Franks' it was a very stormy night when.... BOO!" he yelled, no one moved except for Johnathon, which screamed while hugging his pillow.
"Jack, that was দ্বারা far the worst story I have ever heard." Emma ব্যক্ত crossing her arms, she looked at everyone else "If আপনি want a scary story I'll give আপনি a scary story..." she got out of the tent, turned off the lights, then got back in and sat দ্বারা the only light left, the light-bulb. She sat দ্বারা it in a way that all আপনি saw was the shadows on her face. "Okay, one evil night, there was this little girl that would dream the same nightmare over and over every night for the past six years waking up in a cold sweat and fighting back tears. That night was different, there were no nightmares, she woke up sensing something was wrong, and saw this figure outside of her window just walking back and forth, back and forth"...
She ব্যক্ত this while moving her hands side to side প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে everybody what she meant "The little girl lied back down and closed her eyes hoping that what she just saw was only her imagination, she felt like someone was watching her, so she opened her eyes, and-that's-when-she-saw-the-figure-she-saw-in-the-window-before!" she ব্যক্ত in one quick breath "He was right in front of her face, so close she couldn't breath."
She ব্যক্ত holding her hand up close to her face to প্রদর্শনী everyone exactly how close the thing was "The person that was outside her window was not a person at all but was...THE BOOGIEMAN!" when she ব্যক্ত that last word everyone jumped and made Johnathon scream so loud and yelled "THE BOOGIEMAN!" He yelled so loud almost causing me to pee my pants, then he ran out of the tent.
"Okay, well how about we watch a scary movie to get your minds off that story I just told you?" Emma suggested
"Alright, how about..oh INSIDIOUS??" Cody suggested
"Okay, alright, sounds good" everyone agreed
"NO...there is no way i'm letting আপনি guys watch that movie!" Everyone got out of the tent to look towards the stairs to see Monica walking down with Chandler right behind her.
"What! I thought আপনি guys were asleep?" I ব্যক্ত angrily seeing that obviously, I was wrong.
"How could we be asleep with all the yelling." Chandler said
Everyone turned and gave Johnathon an annoyed look.
"Look it's already late why don't আপনি guys get ready for bed." Monica ব্যক্ত looking at the clock
"Mom it's not that late it's only...9:30." Jack ব্যক্ত looking at the clock on the wall.
"Yeah aunt Monica, at sleep overs আপনি always stay up late, to see who can stay up the longest, then the first one to fall asleep first gets pranked, then they end up waking up in the middle of it and there's a বালিশ fight that takes place for revenge." Jenny ব্যক্ত remembering the last sleep over that she was at.
"Ha, no..no not at this sleep over." Monica ব্যক্ত pointing her finger at everyone a little worried to what they already planned.
"Mom, we need to talk." Erica ব্যক্ত grabbing Monica's arm and pulling her aside.
"Mom come on, this is our first sleep over and if we go to বিছানা early and have no fun at all then they wont come back here অথবা even talk to us again, do আপনি want us to hang out at aunt Rachel's and she will be 'the cool fun aunt' or...MOM?" Erica asked begging for Monica to let them do something fun.
Monica looked at her daughter's কুকুরছানা dog eyes and really wanted them to have fun but she knew they could not watch that movie because they would end up being scared for life. "I'm sorry honey, as much as I want to let আপনি guys have fun, আপনি can't watch that movie. No one here is even old enough to watch it."
Erica's কুকুরছানা dog eyes fades away and she turns to look at her dad who is laying on the পালঙ্ক about to fall asleep "Fine!" she goes over to her dad and nudges him awake "Dad, আপনি need to talk to mom. She is being unreasonable"
"Erica, your mother already ব্যক্ত that আপনি can't watch the movie and I agree আপনি guys are to young and half the time আপনি probably wont even want to watch the movie after seeing the first part of it anyway." Chandler said
"Okay, alright, আপনি win. We wont watch the movie, we will find something else to watch." Erica ব্যক্ত upset that she even admitted that.
Monica, who was listening to their conversation, came closer and ব্যক্ত "Thanks, now guys আপনি can watch the সিন্ড্রেলা story অথবা if আপনি want a scary movie, watch the Haunted Mansion!" Monica ব্যক্ত excitedly.
Jack rolled his eyes.
After a couple of মিনিট Monica and Chandler went back upstairs to leave the kids alone once again.
"Alright, so Insidious it is." Erica ব্যক্ত clapping her hands and walking over to where they kept the DVDs to grab it and put it in.
"Erica, mom ব্যক্ত no. If she finds out that we watched the movie, we are dead meat." Jack ব্যক্ত causing Erica to stop what she was doing and turn to face Jack.
"Well she is not going to find out, because we're not going to tell her." Erica ব্যক্ত looking everyone in the eye "Alright?"
Everybody looked around the room then Jenny finally spoke "I call this seat!" she ব্যক্ত sitting down on the side of the couch.
Forty মিনিট has pasted and everyone was cuddled so close together on the পালঙ্ক no one could move. Once the movie was over know one batted an eye, until they heard someone up upstairs. Emma was the first to run to see who it was, then everyone followed her. They all went upstairs very slowly, and quietly, until they heard the bathroom door open. Then they all screamed causing Monica to jump and scream right back. Chandler ran out of their bedroom and yelled to Monica "Mon আপনি alright, whats wrong." He ব্যক্ত seeing that Monica wasn't even paying attention to him. He turned his head and saw five pair of eyes staring right back at him.
"Go God আপনি guys almost gave me a হৃদয় attack." Monica ব্যক্ত putting her hand on her chest trying to slow down her heartbeat.
"Sorry." Jack and Erica ব্যক্ত at the same time.
"What are আপনি guys even doing up?" Monica asked not really wanting to know the answer to her question.
It was quite for awhile and Chandler finally caught on "You guys watched that movie after we told আপনি not too!!" Chandler yelled very angrily
There was still no answer. Monica was furious. Chandler took a deep breath "Alright it's late why don't we talk about this in the morning." He ব্যক্ত আরো quiet.
They all nodded and Monica and Chandler left leaving still five very scared kids in the hall "I'm sorry guys." Erica started looking down at her feet "You told me we shouldn't watch the movie but I didn't listen. Now I got আপনি all in trouble." Erica ব্যক্ত
"It's fine, lets just go to bed." Emma said, walking back downstairs.
Erica was getting tired too but didn't want to sleep downstairs, she also didn't want everyone to think she was a baby. So she just followed them.
It's been two hours sense everyone went back downstairs to go to bed. Everyone was fast asleep but Erica.
She looked around at everyone to see if they where 'really' sleeping "Jack...Jack?" Erica whispered across the room. He didn't budge. So Erica got up slowly, trying not to wake anybody, and walked upstairs to her mom and dads room.
She reached for their door then jumped back when see saw her dad on the other side.
"Erica..wh-what are আপনি doing?" Chandler ব্যক্ত rubbing his eyes "How long have আপনি been there?"
"Sorry, I just...I couldn't sleep" Erica ব্যক্ত holding her stuffed bear
"Oh...I see. Okay just go lie down and ill be right back." Chandler ব্যক্ত than left, while Erica went to the বিছানা and got in right পরবর্তি to Monica.
Monica woke up from the বিছানা shifting and looked at Erica puzzled. Erica just lied there looking back at her mother "Hi" Erica ব্যক্ত holding her ভালুক closer and smiling
"Hello..."Monica ব্যক্ত still confused why she was there in the first place "Erica whats the matter? What happened?" Monica ব্যক্ত rubbing her daughters arm.
"I just couldn't sleep." She ব্যক্ত snuggling closer to Monica when Chandler walked back in, and lied back down on the other side of Erica.
Monica sighed when she realized why she couldn't sleep. She looked at Chandler who looked right back at her and shook his head. She knew what he was telling her 'not to bring it up, just drop it and we will talk about it in the morning.' She nodded and closed her eyes with her hand holding Chandler's across Erica who was now sleeping.
The পরবর্তি morning...
Monica was in the রান্নাঘর cooking breakfast with all the kids around the table, when Chandler walked in "Good morning" He ব্যক্ত to everyone around the টেবিল when he walked over to Monica "Hey whats cookin good lookin?" He ব্যক্ত wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissed her on the neck.
"Pancakes. Why what do আপনি want?" Monica asked, turning around and wrapping her arms around Chandler's neck স্নেহ চুম্বন him on the lips the চুম্বন deepened when Chandler broke it apart.
"Babe, the food..." Chandler ব্যক্ত spinning Monica back around
"Oh sh--...kids do আপনি like your প্যানকেকস dark?!" Monica yelled at them
"Mom, What do আপনি think?" Jack yelled back "No, no we don't. and when I say that I think I'm speaking for everybody." He ব্যক্ত nodding at everyone at the table, who nodded back at him laughing.
Monica looked at Chandler with an annoyed look "He got that from you!"
"JACK! Use a coaster!" Erica yelled at her brother
"And she got that from you!" Chandler ব্যক্ত mocking Monica
Breakfast past and everyone was gone and went home. Jack and Erica were sitting on the পালঙ্ক playing Mario Carts when Chandler walked in with Monica right behind him.
"Alright guys...it's time to talk." Chandler ব্যক্ত standing right in front of the T.V. blocking their view.
"Dad move. I'm about to kick Erica's butt!" Jack ব্যক্ত trying to see around Chandler
"Oh, sorry." He ব্যক্ত moving out of the way turning around so he can watch
"CHANDLER!" Monica ব্যক্ত stepping in and blocking the T.V. again
"MOM!" Both Jack and Erica yelled
"No, don't mom me! I told আপনি guys আপনি couldn't watch that movie, and what do আপনি do, আপনি go behind my back and do it anyway!" Monica ব্যক্ত angrily throwing her arms in the air.
Erica and Jack paused the game, put down their Mario কার্ট wheels and looked back up at Monica knowing this could take awhile.
"How can I trust আপনি now?" She ব্যক্ত in আরো of a calming voice "How do I know that when I tell আপনি guys not to do something, আপনি will actually not do it?" She quieted her voice so now it was আরো of a whisper "When আপনি guys decide to respect my decision আপনি can come talk to me." She ব্যক্ত while leaving the room holding back tears.
Chandler got up and went after Monica to make sure she was alright. While leaving a very guilty Jack and Erica on the couch.
"Way to go Erica. See what happened, I told আপনি that we should have never watched that movie!" Jack ব্যক্ত getting up and leaving to go to his room.
"Everyone tried to tell me not to do it, but I didn't listen. Now everyone hates me." Erica ব্যক্ত to herself. She started to cry when Chandler came back in the room.
"Honey, whats wrong?" Chandler asked while sitting down beside Erica
"veey nn tats m" She ব্যক্ত crying
"What?" Chandler ব্যক্ত rubbing her back
"Evr on hts me" Erica ব্যক্ত still crying
"Sweetheart I did not understand a word আপনি just said."
"Everyone hates me dad. Mom is pissed at me, Jack wants me to die in a hole and you..."
"Okay, I'm going to stop আপনি right there. First of all, watch your language, second, your mother does not hate you, she loves আপনি very much, she is just upset that আপনি guys lied to her. Jack...well Jack is Jack." He said
"It's all my fault." Erica ব্যক্ত under her breath but loud enough that Chandler could hear.
"Erica not all of this is your fault, Jack is to blame too."
"No! It is my fault. I'm the one who decided to watch the movie anyway, i'm the one who went behind moms back, i'm the reason mom is so mad, i'm the one who lied. Jack tried to tell me it was a bad idea, but I'm the one that didn't listen!" She ব্যক্ত looking into Chandler's eyes trying to read what he was thinking.
Disappointed is all she could read
After about two মিনিট of silence she spoke up "Dad, please say something." Erica pleaded
"Honey....I..I am not going to tell you...that what আপনি did was wrong. But i'm not going to tell how to fix it. I know your mother pretty well, and if আপনি ask me the only way আপনি can gain her respect back is earning it." Chandler looked deep in Erica's eyes and knew that she was on the verge of crying again "Erica, আপনি have to প্রদর্শনী your mother that if she asks আপনি to do something, অথবা not to do something আপনি need to follow what she says. She gets very emotional now because she knows her little girl is growing up and soon she is going to want to watch scary চলচ্চিত্র অথবা wear make-up, অথবা even start dating..."
"Eww, dad, no!" Erica said
"Oh, not there yet, okay." Chandler ব্যক্ত causing Erica to giggle a little.
"What I'm trying to say is that, your starting to grow up and soon we wont be able to tell আপনি what to do and when to do it. So respect us while আপনি can." And with that Chandler walked off.
Later that night
Monica and Chandler were sitting on the পালঙ্ক alone watching the news
"Now if আপনি know it's wrong and আপনি know that আপনি are going to have to pay the time when they find out...because they are going to find out from what he left behind. Then why do আপনি do it?" Chandler asked
"Honey, from the looks of it আপনি know his background story wasn't bright, he probably did it to get attention. But let me tell আপনি that is not the way to get attention." Monica said
"Mon, do আপনি know what I'm saying?" Chandler asked looking in her direction
"Yeah, the guy on T.V. that.....OH" She ব্যক্ত averting her eyes from the news and looking at Chandler "What are আপনি trying to say Chandler? They obviously don't respect us enough to listen and follow what we tell them." Monica glared back at the T.V.
"Sweetheart..." Chandler ব্যক্ত moving her chin towards him so she can look at him "I know that আপনি are upset about--"
"I'm not just upset Chand--" Monica ব্যক্ত cutting him off, but then was cut off দ্বারা Chandler talking again
"You can't stay mad at them forever, আপনি are their mother, they are suppose to come to আপনি when they need help, they come to আপনি when they are scared, they come to আপনি when they are stuck in a hole that they can't dig them self's out of. How are they suppose to come to আপনি when আপনি wont hand them the shovel?" Chandler got up and went to their bedroom. Leaving a very confused Monica on the couch
"What?" She got up and followed him to their room.
When she got there she found him getting his pajamas out of the drawer for the night "Chandler, what are আপনি talking about?"
He turned to look at her "All i'm saying Monica, is that how can they come to আপনি and talk to আপনি about it when আপনি wont even look at them anymore, and trying to avoid them when they come in the room?
"I am not trying to avoid my children!" She ব্যক্ত shaking her head with her hands on her hips
"Mon, Erica is really sorry. আপনি can tell দ্বারা the way she looks at you. The way she talks to আপনি now, her head down and her voice low."
Monica took a deep breath. He was right, she hated when he was right.
After a couple of মিনিট when she didn't say anything. Chandler started talking again. "Monica just go talk to her." And with that he walked into the bathroom to change.
Monica did not want to fight with Erica again tonight. But she knew she had to talk to her eventually. So she walked out and went down the hall and walked up to Erica's closed door. She knocked on it softly and waited.
Erica opened the door a few সেকেন্ড later. "Yes?" She asked
"What are আপনি doing?" Monica asked peeking around Erica's room
"Just reading." Erica ব্যক্ত then took a deep breath "Mom, i'm really sorry for what I did. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyway. Please for give me." Erica said
"Erica honey...can I come in?" Monica ব্যক্ত while stepping a little closer.
Erica moved aside so she can come in.
Monica walked in and went to sit on her bed. Erica went to go sit পরবর্তি to her. "Honey, I will always forgive you...your not a kid anymore, আপনি guys are growing up and soon will be teenagers and getting into trouble...that's your job that's what আপনি do. I can never stay mad at আপনি guys, I'm your mother your not suppose to agree with me." Monica smiled. Erica let out a giggle.
Erica hugged Monica "I প্রণয় আপনি mom." She ব্যক্ত with a smile
Monica hugged her tighter "I প্রণয় আপনি too." She said

Jack tried to tell me it was a bad idea, but I'm the one that didn't listen!" She ব্যক্ত looking into Chandler's eyes trying to read what he was thinking.
Disappointed is all she could read
After about two মিনিট of silence she spoke up "Dad, please say something." Erica pleaded
"Honey....I..I am not going to tell you...that what আপনি did was wrong. But i'm not going to tell how to fix it. I know your mother pretty well, and if আপনি ask me the only way আপনি can gain her respect back is earning it." Chandler looked deep in Erica's eyes and knew that she was on the verge of crying again "Erica, আপনি have to প্রদর্শনী your mother that if she asks আপনি to do something, অথবা not to do something আপনি need to follow what she says. She gets very emotional now because she knows her little girl is growing up and soon she is going to want to watch scary চলচ্চিত্র অথবা wear make-up, অথবা even start dating..."
"Eww, dad, no!" Erica said
"Oh, not there yet, okay." Chandler ব্যক্ত causing Erica to giggle a little.
"What I'm trying to say is that, your starting to grow up and soon we wont be able to tell আপনি what to do and when to do it. So respect us while আপনি can." And with that Chandler walked off.
Later that night
Monica and Chandler were sitting on the পালঙ্ক alone watching the news
"Now if আপনি know it's wrong and আপনি know that আপনি are going to have to pay the time when they find out...because they are going to find out from what he left behind. Then why do আপনি do it?" Chandler asked
"Honey, from the looks of it আপনি know his background story wasn't bright, he probably did it to get attention. But let me tell আপনি that is not the way to get attention." Monica said
"Mon, do আপনি know what I'm saying?" Chandler asked looking in her direction
"Yeah, the guy on T.V. that.....OH" She ব্যক্ত averting her eyes from the news and looking at Chandler "What are আপনি trying to say Chandler? They obviously don't respect us enough to listen and follow what we tell them." Monica glared back at the T.V.
"Sweetheart..." Chandler ব্যক্ত moving her chin towards him so she can look at him "I know that আপনি are upset about--"
"I'm not just upset Chand--" Monica ব্যক্ত cutting him off, but then was cut off দ্বারা Chandler talking again
"You can't stay mad at them forever, আপনি are their mother, they are suppose to come to আপনি when they need help, they come to আপনি when they are scared, they come to আপনি when they are stuck in a hole that they can't dig them self's out of. How are they suppose to come to আপনি when আপনি wont hand them the shovel?" Chandler got up and went to their bedroom. Leaving a very confused Monica on the couch
"What?" She got up and followed him to their room.
When she got there she found him getting his pajamas out of the drawer for the night "Chandler, what are আপনি talking about?"
He turned to look at her "All i'm saying Monica, is that how can they come to আপনি and talk to আপনি about it when আপনি wont even look at them anymore, and trying to avoid them when they come in the room?
"I am not trying to avoid my children!" She ব্যক্ত shaking her head with her hands on her hips
"Mon, Erica is really sorry. আপনি can tell দ্বারা the way she looks at you. The way she talks to আপনি now, her head down and her voice low."
Monica took a deep breath. He was right, she hated when he was right.
After a couple of মিনিট when she didn't say anything. Chandler started talking again. "Monica just go talk to her." And with that he walked into the bathroom to change.
Monica did not want to fight with Erica again tonight. But she knew she had to talk to her eventually. So she walked out and went down the hall and walked up to Erica's closed door. She knocked on it softly and waited.
Erica opened the door a few সেকেন্ড later. "Yes?" She asked
"What are আপনি doing?" Monica asked peeking around Erica's room
"Just reading." Erica ব্যক্ত then took a deep breath "Mom, i'm really sorry for what I did. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyway. Please for give me." Erica said
"Erica honey...can I come in?" Monica ব্যক্ত while stepping a little closer.
Erica moved aside so she can come in.
Monica walked in and went to sit on her bed. Erica went to go sit পরবর্তি to her. "Honey, I will always forgive you...your not a kid anymore, আপনি guys are growing up and soon will be teenagers and getting into trouble...that's your job that's what আপনি do. I can never stay mad at আপনি guys, I'm your mother your not suppose to agree with me." Monica smiled. Erica let out a giggle.
Erica hugged Monica "I প্রণয় আপনি mom." She ব্যক্ত with a smile
Monica hugged her tighter "I প্রণয় আপনি too." She said
