Thanks for the reviews!!
Second chapter is up. Hope you like it :)
It didn't take them long to get to the hospital. Once there, they rushed to Information.
Joey was running pretty fast and was the first one to talk to the lady there.
"Phoebe! Where is she?! Where?!" The girl was a bit scared "I'm sorry, sir, I..."
"Excuse me, where's the room of Phoebe Buffay?" Ross interrupted her as the rest of them caught up with Joey. "Oh, ok. Let me see..." She was more calm now, but still glanced over at a very desperate Joey, who was being held back by Chandler and Rachel. "Here it is. Miss Buffay is in room 108"
"Thank you!" Ross and the others took off inmediately.
As they got there they saw a doctor coming out of the room. Monica approached him before Joey could lose it again. "Excuse me, can you tell us what's going on with Phoebe?"
"Are you her relatives?"
"Yes"
He looked at each of them, not convinced "Really?"
"Look" said Chandler desperate to know how she was "We might not be related to her by blood, but we are definitely her family."
This time the doctor looked at their worried faces and could actually see th fear. "Fair enough. Come with me here" He pointed to a conference room near by. "Please sit down" They all did "Please doctor" said Rachel getting more scared as time went by "What exactly happened and how is she?"
"Miss Buffay was found near an alley with her clothes destroyed and covered in blood." Joey had his head resting on his hands and was looking at the table. Ross and Rachel had been holding hands the whole time to comfort eachother. Chandler had his arm around Monica and was stroking her hair. Both girls were sobbing.
"She didn't look good" The doctor went on "Apparently she wasn't letting go of her purse easily, because she was dragged for half a block. The mugger stabbed her and kicked her several times."
Neither of them could believe it. They couldn't understand why this was happening. It was supposed to be such a happy night. They were quite for a while, because it was just impossible to try to say anything.
Joey couldn't handle the silence anymore. "Can we see her?"
"Yes, but I should warn you that she deosn't look good. She's unconscious right now. And please, I know you all want to see her, but I must ask you to go in one at a time."
They went out to the hall and stood outside room 108. The doctor looked at them "Who'll go in first?"
Joey felt their eyes on him, assuming he'll want to go. "I... I can't. I need to sit down and calm myself first." Rachel rested her hand on his shoulder for support.
"I'll go" Said Ross looking at his friends and then at the doctor.
"All right then. You'll have just a couple of minutes."
Ross went inside and closed the door behind him. He thought he would be strong enough to handle anything, but this was too much. She looked so small and weak. Nothing at all like the Phoebe he knew. He sat down next to her. "Hi, Pheebs" She didn't move. "I'm so scared for you" He admited while holding her hand. "I want you back. I want you to be the one always challenging me. I want to hear you sing..." The memory of her singing at Central Perk, healthy, made some tears come out. She was always so happy and cheerful. It was killing him to see her like this. "We might not always agree, but I love you. I love you and I couldn't picture my life without you as part of it. Please, Pheebs, I know you're strong. Show us what you're capable of."
The door opened and the doctor walked in "I'm sorry Mr. Geller. Your time's up."
Ross looked at her one last time before standing up and leaving the room.
That's where I'll leave it for now. Chapter 3 should be up in the next couple of days.
Please keep reviewing :)
