Thank you Boris Yeltsin and Guest for the reviews on chapter 1. It is extremely appreciated! That was all I planned on writing, but Guest requested a second chapter so here it is! If I continue to get reviews or a review asking for more, I'll keep writing. Even if one person is enjoying my story that makes me very happy! This chapter is sort of a filler before getting into the process of exams, interviews, court trials, ect. Not sure how far in depth I will go with that if I keep writing, especially since I don't know much about all of that, but I will try my best! So thank you again for the reviews and I hope you enjoy chapter 2! Please review if you like it!

"I was raped" Rachel says. The air in the room stills and the silence is deafening. After a few moments, Chandler is first to speak. "I'm so sorry Rach" he says softly, his hand squeezing her shoulder. Everyone else speaks a chorus of "sorry"s, reaching over to hug her. She begins to cry harder, but a small smile reaches her face, her heart swelling from the love of her friends. She wants to say thank you, but can't seem to find the words. All the friends give eachother quick, worried glances; hating that this happened to Rachel, and knowing that they need to be there for her in whatever ways that they can. "Do you want to talk about it?" Joey asks, his heart breaking for his friend. She shrugs her left shoulder. "I don't know guys. I don't really know what do" she says. Monica looks at Chandler, trying to build up the courage for what she is about to say. Always the practical one, Monica says as sweetly as she can, "Rach, I really think we should take you to the hospital". "No! No no no no no" Rachel shouts immediately, standing up; everyone who was surrounding her hopping up and out of her way. "I will not go! I will not beeee…poked! And prodded! And touched! I won't!" She stands on shaky legs and stares at everyone, challenging them to question her. Monica stands up slowly, making her way over to Rachel, and extending her arms to hold onto Rachel's. She looks into her best friend's eyes, watching her tears fall, sees the pain there, and her heart crumbles. "Rach…" she says, and her voice instantly breaks. "I cannot imagine what you are going through. How you are feeling. How scared you must be". The two woman stare at eachother as tears fall down eachother's faces. "But as somebody who loves you very, very much; we need to go to hospital, and make sure that you are okay. And we need to get whoever hurt you, put away". "Monica" Rachel says shakily, as all the other friends look on this scene, most of them crying themselves. "I- I- I can't. It's…it's too hard. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want anyone looking at me. Asking me questions. Touching me…then they're going to tell the police. I'm going to have to, to- to" Rachel breaks down in sobs, her legs giving away and she falls to the floor once more. Monica immediately gets down on her knees and grabs Rachel's arms again. She knows the only way to get through is tough love now. "You want the man who hurt you to go to prison right? Because I sure do. I know that we all do. And I know that you do too. I hate this. I hate everything about this. I hate that I am hurting you right now and making you scared and making you do something that you don't want to do. But I can't let you go on and act like this didn't happen. Because it did. And you need to get justice for what happened to you. I love you Rachel. We all love you. And we will be there for you every step of the way" Monica finishes through her tears, her throat sore and tight. After a few moments, Rachel lifts her up head, not wanting to agree, hating every part of this, but knowing her friends will never take no for answer. And a part of her knowing that it is what she needs to do. "Okay", she whispers. Monica looks back at her friends with a gaze of seriousness, making sure that they all are ready for this journey. They need to be there for her no matter what. Monica will not let her friend fall because of some piece of shit out there. He will get what he deserves. Monica helps Rachel stand up, and goes to grab their coats. Joey and Chandler catch on and go over to their place to grab their jackets. "Ross, Phoebe, meet us there" Monica tells them, and they nod is agreeance, leaving to quickly go back to their places. "I'm sorry", Monica says softly, grabbing her purse as Rachel follows slowly behind her. "You don't need to be sorry" Rachel says. "I do. Because I know you don't want to do this", Monica replies. "I do want to do this" Rachel says, surprising herself. Monica's heart swells, and she's very proud of her best friend. "Good" she says appraisingly. "I mean…I don't. God I don't. But I do. The way he made me feel-" her voice breaks instantly, and she scolds herself. You need to get your shit together Green, or you'll never get through this. "The way he made me feel…I need to undo that. I need to be strong. I need to take back what he took". Monica tries to hide her tears, but the two of them are a mess, and they know it might be this way for a long time. "You made me into the person I am today. Strong, independent…well, a lot more than I was. I can't let him get away with this. And the news said…he did it to a lot of woman. I can't just let this keep happening", Rachel goes on, trying to convince herself to go through with it. She does want to, but almost every fiber of her being feels she's not strong enough to handle this. "You're right Rachel. You are strong. You can do this. And we're going to be here for you every step of the way" Monica encourages. "Okay" Rachel says again, nodding her head repeatedly. Monica takes Rachel's hand, and they step out of the apartment; Chandler and Joey standing there for waiting for them. Monica drives them to the hospital, and Rachel cries all the way there. The strength she built as her and Monica talked at their door quickly faded, and Monica rubs her left arm, and from the backseat, Chandler squeezes Rachel's shoulder. "You can do this Rach" Joey says from behind Monica, reaching over to squeeze Rachel's arm. Rachel doesn't know what to think or how to feel, but they're almost to hospital, and she has to do this. Get your shit together Green. Monica parks the car, and they all walk towards the doors of the hospital, where they see Ross and Phoebe waiting for them. The six of them file through the revolving glass doors, and make their way up to receptionist desk. "We need an exam done", Monica says to the woman. "We?" she asks, her eyes scanning the group. "I do" Rachel says quietly, standing in the middle of her group of surrounding friends. "Okay ma'am, and what kind of exam do you need?" the woman asks. She looks at her friends nervously, not wanting to speak the words aloud again. Especially not wanting to speak them to a stranger. Not wanting to go through with any of this. But they give her encouraging looks back. She looks to the receptionist and takes a deep breath. "I was raped" she says quietly. The woman's face softens for a moment, and then she's all professional. "Okay, I'm going to get you some forms to fill out, and I will find you a doctor right away who can perform that exam for you" she says, finding the paperwork and a pen, handing them to Rachel. Rachel's mind spins as she already feels beyond overwhelmed. Her and her friend's all take a seat in the hospital lobby, as Rachel begins to fill out the forms. And she knows that this journey has a long, long road ahead.

If I do a chapter 3, Rachel will have the exam, and then the friends will take her to the police station so she can report what happened to her. Let me know if you want that chapter and if you have any suggestions or requests for me on other things I can add to this story or things that I could improve on! Thank you!
