Chapter 1: Its Not Just The Flu Is It?
The gang minus Rachel sat around Monica and Rachel's kitchen table as Monica prepared breakfast like they did most mornings. "Hey sweetie" Rachel wrapped her arms around Ross kissing him before sitting at the table. "Morning beautiful" he smiled. Chandler groaned. Rachel glanced at him. He looked terrible. "You okay Chandler" she asked. "Yeah" he replied "Are you sure you look terrible" He looked at her "Why thank you Rach I love you too" he replied sarcastically. "Sorry" she apologized "Its okay I haven't been feeling well" Monica walked over to the table setting a plate of pancakes down which Joey grabbed six of. "Maybe you should see a doctor" she said "Eh it's just the flu Mon "
"Are you sure I mean you've been sick for a couple of weeks now" she said. "She's right the flu usually only lasts a few days" Ross added, "Thanks for the info Dr. Geller" Chandler said "But I'll be fine okay" Joey sighed "Dude you've been up every night puking and you're awfully pale" Phoebe nodded "Your aura is white Chandler" she said pulling at the air around him "Yuh huh and what does that mean Pheebs" he asked "Well it either means you're seriously ill or on drugs" Joey looked at him with wide eyes "Dude go to the doctor!"
Chandler laughed "Oh come on Joe you don't actually believe all of Phoebe's aura mumbo jumbo do you" She looked at him "Oh its not mumbo jumbo its very true" she said seriously. "You know maybe you should go Chandler" Rachel said "Not you too" he whined. He looked at his friends all looking at him with worry and concern. "Okay fine you guys wine I'll go to the doctor."
Later that day Chandler went to see a doctor. He sat in an exam room wearing one of those paper gowns. A man walked in the room "Hello Mr. Bing I'm Dr. Kovach it says here you think you have the flu" He nodded "Yeah but my friends kept pestering me to se a doctor I finally gave in" The doctor nodded "Alright what symptoms have you had" he asked "Well flu like symptoms, achy, tired, nauseous and feverish" Dr. Kovach wrote on the chart in his hand. "And how long have you been feeling like this" "A couple of weeks" Chandler answered "That's too long to be just the flu, the flu usually just lasts a few days" he said.
Chandler rolled his eyes this guy sounded like Ross. "What I'd like to do is draw some blood and run a few tests" He sighed, "Fine but is that really necessary he asked. "Yes it is Mr. Bing having those symptoms for so long could be the sign of something more serious than the flu" A nurse came in a few minutes later and drew his blood. "I'll call you in a few days with the results" Dr. Kovach informed him as he left. Chandler got dressed and went home feeling like it had all been a waste of time when he'd get a cal in a few days saying it was just the flu.
A few days later Chandler came home to find a message on the magnadoodle telling him to cal his doctor. He picked up the phone and called him. When he heard the doctor's voice he knew something was wrong "Its not just the flu is it" he asked. His face grew pale and he felt numb as the doctor spoke telling him something he never expected to hear. He thanked the doctor hanging up the phone. He was in such a daze he hadn't heard Monica come in or heard her call his name. "Chandler" she called again. He blinked "Uh hey Mon" he whispered "Are you okay" she asked "I've been standing here calling you for five minutes"
"Uh no Mon I…I'm not," he whispered trying to fight the tears that filled his eyes. Seeing the tears in his eyes scared her. Chandler never cried. "Chandler what is it...what's wrong" she asked with concern. He sighed softly "I…I went to the doctor " She nodded "Good what did he say, its just the flu right" He shook his head "No its not just the flu Mon it…its" he stopped "Its what Chandler" she asked softly. His tears now ran down his face as he whispered "Its Leukemia"
Chapter 2: Why My Best friend?… How will Monica react to Chandler's news? How will Chandler handle his illness? …. Coming Soon!
Author's Note: Hello Children! Here's a new fic by me! I got the idea for this fic from on of the Friends role-plays I'm doing with my friend Jayne Leigh! It's mainly Mondler with some Ross and Rach tossed in. This will be a dramatic fic. Chandler has leukemia, which I've been researching on the Internet so I can make sure everything is accurate. I also looked up auras and White aura's mean serious illness or drug use. Oh and just cause Chandler has Leukemia does not mean he'll die! Things will be tough for him though! Rachgreengeller do like the name of Chandler's doctor! I named him that just for you! Anyway hope you all enjoy my new fic!
