Chapter 2

"Come on, come on, come onnn!" Rachel chanted impatiently at the driver, tapping her foot up and down in the cab. She was so frustrated at the driver for travelling 20mph on the road. She knew the road was icy, but 20mph was ridiculous to her especially when there was no traffic ahead of them and that she wanted to see Ross as soon as possible. She felt like she wanted to strangle the driver just to speed up.

"Can't you go any faster?" she hopefully asked throwing her hands in the air with a raised eyebrow, but the cab driver gave a stern look, nodding his head to the sides not bothering to speed up by a mile. Feeling hopeless, Rachel sighed into her seat staring out of the window with her arms crossed on her chest. Her mind travelled to Ross. 'Oh Ross, I hope you're okay' she whispered. A tear escaped her eye, the ride to the hospital felt like torture for her as each second slowly ticked by. Daylight was breaking as the sun was setting in a distance. They were almost at the hospital as the hospital sign came into view.

A few seconds later the cab came to a stop next to the entrance, Rachel paid the driver his fare before bursting out of the cab and through the entrance of the hospital to the receptionist desk. The nurse behind the desk look frightened by Rachel sudden appearance. Rachel's mind went blank for a second as she stared at the nurse quite a while trying to gather some words.

"Rachel Greene, here… to see… Ross Geller," she said in blobs, taking deep breaths in between. Before the nurse could respond, Rachel heard her name being yelled in a distance vaguely by a man's voice. She looked around before she saw Chandler and Monica at the waiting area.

"Rachel!" she heard her name more clearly, seeing Chandler waving his hands in the air. Rachel immediately run towards them where they were at the waiting area. She already could feel the tears building inside her. She hated hospitals in general, the cold halls and floors, the smell, the food they serve. Monica stood up from her seat and they immediately embraced each other.

"Mon," Rachel sobbed into Monica's shoulder seconds later. "I'm scared," she admitted. Monica also could feel the tears starting to build up again, but she bravely hold it back. She needed to be the strong one of the group.

"I know, I know, I'm also scared," Monica confessed rubbing her hand in circles on Rachel's back. "He's going to be okay, he has to be okay," Monica said pulling away from Rachel. Monica looked Rachel in the eyes, tearfully.

"He's a strong person," she added pulling Rachel back into the hug. Rachel nodded on Monica's shoulder, knowing she was right. Ross is a strong person, he will get through this.

"Rachel…" Chandler started. "Why are you bare feet?" he asked rubbing his chin with his fingers staring down at her feet. Confused, Rachel look down only realising then she kicked her shoes off at Ralph Lauren and forgot to put them back on when she received the call from him.

"I forgot it at the office."

"Oh," he nodded.

"How is he?" Rachel asked sitting down on one of the hospital chairs rubbing her feet.

"We don't know yet," Monica shrugged crossing her arms. "He's still in surgery," she added on. Rachel's eyes immediately went wide from shock.

"SURGERY? Oh my God, is it that bad?" she rubbed her temples as she stood up pacing the hospital floor up and down.

"Surgery?" she asked again in a panicking softer tone. "Why?"

"They didn't say much over the phone," Chandler spoke up. "But the car is badly wrecked. There's almost nothing left."

Rachel had her hand over her mouth, not believing what she is hearing. She have suddenly develop this pit in her stomach, it felt like she was going to throw up. Her heartbeat began to beat rapidly fast, hyperventilating from the news.

"Rachel, calm down. He's going to be okay," Chandler tried to reassure her.

"Joey and Phoebe?" she questioned looking at Chandler.

"No, not yet. We didn't told them yet," Monica said. Chandler rubbed Monica shoulders as he spoke up. "Only you know so far and of course Jack and Judy," he said.

"Who's going to tell them?" Rachel asked worriedly.

"Chandler shrugged. "I don't know. Let's just wait and see what the doctor have to say before we call them with news."

2 hours later.

Chandler went off to get some coffee as he couldn't stand the waiting and silence anymore. Monica and Rachel still sat on the chairs. One of the nurses brought some shoes for Rachel to keep her feet warm from the cold floor. They stared at the two big doors, waiting for someone to come out.

"Why is it taking so long?" Rachel yelled frustrated, standing up from her seat. "They should have been done by now!" she ran her fingers through her hair. She was tired and frustrated. She couldn't understand why it was taking so long. Monica just sat there with her knees up to her chest. Chandler came with three coffees in his hand. He handed Rachel's first and then Monica. Monica took the first sip, holding the warm cup between her hands. The hospital hall was cold, colder than outside.

"Any news?" Chandler asked sitting next to Monica. She nodded her head which made Chandler sighed. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder which she rested her head on his chest. She snuggled deeper wondering how far the doctors were. She could sense Rachel was impatient. She didn't let her eyes off the door. This thing was clearly killing her from the inside. A few minutes passed by before a doctor eventually came out of the surgery door. Monica and Chandler jolted up from their seats.

"Monica Geller I presume?" The doctor stepped up with a clipboard.

"Hi yes, it's me. How is he?" she asked hastily.

"I'm Doctor Sadie Henderson and unfortunately I have some bad news for you," she said writing something on the clipboard.

"B…bad news?" Monica stuttered questionably.

"Ross was in critical condition when the paramedics found him in his car and he was immediately sent to the emergency room for treatment." Rachel gasped, holding her hand over her mouth. She could feel the tears starting to build up again. Chandler's legs went numb all of a sudden as he took a seat looking up to the doctor.

"Is he okay?" Rachel whispered through tearfully eyes.

"His injuries are severe due to the impact he had since he hadn't a seatbelt on. He's suffering from a small fractured skull which could lead to brain damage which is our biggest concern at the moment. He's has some multiple broken and fractured bones including a ruptured spinal cord, 5 broken ribs and he has a bruised heart," she finished. Rachel tilted her head to the side tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Bruised heart? What… what do…do you mean?"

"Yes, he developed Myocardial Contusion from the car accident and that basically means he has a bruise muscle in the heart which effects the heart's normal rhythmic beating, making heartbeats too fast or too slow or irregular," the doctor explained.

"Oh my God," the two girls exclaimed as the tears rushing down on their faces at the thought of how much pain Ross must be going through. Chandler quickly wrapped his arms around them as he held back his own tears.

"When can we see him?"

"Ross is still in surgery. They almost done with him. You can see him shortly," the doctor said. "I'll be joining you shortly after he's done," she said giving a sympathetic look towards them.

"Thank you doctor," Chandler said.

"He'll get through it, Ross is a strong person," Chandler tried to assured Monica and Rachel which broke free from his hug. He could see both of them were worried about Ross, he was too. He also wanted to cry, but he hold back bravely as he didn't want them to see how he cry.

"Phoebe and Joey," Monica reminded. "We have to tell them what happened," Monica said wiping the tears off her face.

"Okay," Chandler nodded. "I'll tell them," he said as he pulled out his phone dialling Joey's number. He took a deep breath, glancing at Monica and Rachel briefly before turning around.

"Joey," he started…. "I have some bad news…"

Central Perk

"Last night was so amazing," Joey told Phoebe once they stepped into Central Perk. They hanged their coats on the hanger before ordering a cup of coffee from Gunther. They plopped down on the orange couch before Joey continued.

"Jessica was awesome. You should have seen her at the movies. She practically tripped one of the guys who kept giving her looks. It was hilarious!" Joey exclaimed. Phoebe just sat there, not liking the story. She always had feelings for Joey, but never admitted it to anyone. Sure she gave a few hints, but no-one thought she was serious. Only she knew and she wanted to keep that way.

"Did you kiss?" Phoebe suddenly asked looking Joey dead in the eyes.

"N…No, not yet," Joey shrugged which made Phoebe smile a little from relieve.

"Good for her," Phoebe muttered under her breath crossing her legs.

"What?"

"Nothing, anyway when are you seeing her again?" Phoebe asked blankly.

"Tomorrow," Joey said excitedly, which made Phoebe further upset. Just before Joey could talk more about Jessica, his phone rang in his pocket. He excused himself to Phoebe who was gracefully thankful for the phone as she didn't want to hear more about Jessica.

"Hey Chandler, what's happening buddy?" he excitedly started, but his expression change when he heard Chandler have some bad news. His eyes went wide and his body in shock. He hang up the phone looking at Phoebe worriedly.

"Ross has been in an accident," he told Phoebe.

"Oh my God!" she jolted up from her seat. Joey looked at her confused for a moment still sitting in his seat.

"Just not sit there, come!" Phoebe ordered as he realised why she jolted up from her seat. They both grabbed their coats before they were on their way to the hospital.

"What about your coffee?" Gunther asked as he stood there holding their coffees in his hand. He sighed as he went to throw it away.

"Oh my God, I hope Ross is okay!" Joey exclaimed once they were in the cab. He started to bite his nails, but Phoebe stopped him by hitting him on the shoulder.

"Ow!" he rubbed his shoulder. "What was that for?"

"Stop biting your nails," she scolded. "Ross will be okay," she stated. "We just have to be positive about this." Joey nodded, agreeing with Phoebe. Positive thinking can achieve the impossible.

"Replace every negative thought with a positive one of Ross," Joey whispered to himself. He stared out of the window briefly. Phoebe shifted closer to Joey, resting her head on his shoulder. Joey smiled, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. He was glad he had such a great female friend like Phoebe. He didn't want anything more from her and he knew she didn't also. That's why they had such an awesome friendship together. They understood each other very well. He always made her smile and she had the same effect on him.

"He's going to be fine," Phoebe reassured herself. Joey stayed quiet and the rest of the ride was in silence. Nor Phoebe or Joey said a word to each other. When they arrived at the hospital, they rushed to the waiting area where Chandler said he will be. Joey felt his own tears started to build up as he saw how Rachel was crying. 'Oh this can't be good,' he whispered to himself.

"How is he?" Phoebe asked once they reach them.

"I think you two should sit down," Chandler stated. Phoebe and Joey slowly took their seat on the chairs, waiting for Chandler to continue.

"He's in critical condition," he began. "He's out of surgery now, we just waiting for the nurse to come out before we can go in. Don't be frightened, just know he's not going to look good," Chandler explained. Joey and Phoebe nodded their head and just that moment, the nurse came out of the room, giving a sympathetic look before she walked away.

"Can I go first?" Rachel asked hopefully, looking at the other. They all nodded. Rachel slowly opened the door, her heart was pounding fast as she was scared what she was about to see. She opened the door wider starting to see Ross' figure on the hospital bed, sleeping soundly as the only sound she could hear was the heart monitor. Rachel took a deep breath before stepping fully into the room, making sure to close the door firmly behind her. Trembling Rachel walked to Ross' bed. She gasped at Ross' condition. He had cuts and scrapes all over his body, his one leg was covered in a cast as well as his right arm. His head was also wrapped tightly with gauze tape, ending right above his eyebrows. He has been hooked up to life support as she saw the tubes that was connected to him. This killed her on the inside, how could this have happened to him?

Before she could say anything, the machines suddenly went off. She jumped back, not knowing what's going on. Doctors and nurses came into the room and before she could see what they were doing, she was pulled out of the room by one nurse. She opened her mouth to speak, but the nurse went quickly inside again. Rachel stood there gaping like a fish, fearing the worst possible outcome.

So what did you think of the outcome of the accident? Let me know in a review? Thanks! Chapter 3 will be posted in 1-2 weeks, maybe sooner, you never know. Thanks for the support!
