Rachel sat on the couch in the living room flipping through a magazine. It had now been two days since Monica had first gotten sick and Monica being, "Monica" didn't see a rush to get to the doctor, so for the past few days she laid in bed, mostly sleeping. Rachel's thoughts were disrupted by Phoebe entering the apartment.
"Hey, Rach"
"Hey, what's up?" Rachel asked. She got up and walked into the kitchen were Phoebe had taken a seat.
"I met this really great guy at Central Perk this morning"
Rachel put her magazine down, "I wanna hear all about him"
"Okay, his name is Theo, he's 28 and a guitar player"
"Wow, Pheebs, he sounds........wonderful"
Phoebe smiled, "Oh, he is and I want all you guys to meet him"
"sure, I'd love to meet him" Rachel answered
"Maybe we could all go out to dinner tonight"
"Well, I don't know about everyone else but, I'm free" Rachel replied
Phoebe gave a quick glance around the apartment, "Where's Monica?"
"Oh, she's in the bed" Rachel said turning her attention back to her magazine
"At three in the afternoon?" Phoebe questioned
Rachel looked up at Phoebe, "Yeah, she hasn't been feeling very well"
"Maybe she's pregnant" Phoebe said raising an eyebrow
"Nope" Rachel answered sharply
"How do you know?" Phoebe asked curiously
"Because, I made her take a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative"
"Oh, maybe it's the flu"
"I don't know Phoebe, I've never seen her like this before"
"Do you think it's something serious?"
Rachel looked worried "I don't know"
"Has she seen a doctor"
"She refuses and I don't know what to do to convince her"
"Maybe, just talking to her would help because, if it's something serious the longer she waits the worse it's going to get"
"Your right, I'll call and make an appointment and make her go, even if I have to drag her there personally"
"That's the spirit"
A few hours later Rachel was standing outside Monica's bedroom door, she knocked softly, "Monica" Rachel called. She opened the bedroom door and walked in. Monica was laying in the bed under the covers.
"Do you want to go out to dinner with us?" Rachel asked
"No, I'm just gonna stay here" Monica answered weakly
"Okay" Rachel turned to walk out the door but, quickly she spun back around, "You know what?, I'll just stay here with you"
"No, Rachel, you should go"
"Yeah, Rachel, go ahead I'll stay here with her" Chandler said from the doorway.
"Are you sure?" she asked
"Yeah" he answered honestly
"Alright, Monica, I'll be back in a few hours"
"Have fun" Monica said drowsily
Rachel walked out of the bedroom and left Monica in Chandlers care. He walked over and took a seat beside Monica on the bed. "This this your way of breaking up with me?" He joked.
"Very funny Chandler"
"I thought you could use a joke"
Monica smiled for the first time in days, "Thank you"
Chandler brushed a lock of hair out of her face, "So what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I just feel so weak and tired" Monica confessed
"Have you seen the doctor?"
"No" Monica answered
Chandler was concerned, "Why not?"
"Because it'll pass"
Rachel came in a few hours later, she got ready for bed and then stepped in to check on Monica. She opened the door and walked over to the bed. Taking a seat on the side she looked down at a sleeping Monica. "Everything's going to be okay" she whispered.
The next morning Rachel woke up and walked out into the kitchen, she was surprised to see a pale Monica sitting at the table.
"Are you feeling better?"
"No, I feel worse" Monica confessed
"That's it"
"What?" Monica asked
Rachel sat down and the table, "I'm taking you to the doctor today"
Monica protested, "No"
"Yes, you're going and that's that"
Monica and Rachel arrived at the Doctor's office at ten. They sat patiently waiting for Monica's name to be called. Monica waited fro what felt like ever, "How long have we been here?"
Rachel looked at her watch "Seven minutes"
"Feels like longer"
"I know sweetie"
A nurse came out from around the corner and called the next patient, "Monica Geller"
Monica and Rachel got up and followed the nurse down the long hallway and into an examination room.
"Miss Geller, you can hop up here"
Monica got up on the exam table as Rachel took a seat by the door.
"What kinds of symptoms are you experiencing?" the nurse asked
"I feel nauseous, weak, tired and sometimes it hurts to breathe"
The nurse wrote notes down on the chart, "Anything else?"
"Not that I can think of" Monica answered honestly.
"Okay, Doctor Jackson will be with you in a few minutes" The nurse said as she left the room.
"Rachel, I'm scared"
"Why?" she asked
"Because, something's wrong, I know it is"
"I'm sure it won't be anything serious" Rachel responded trying to comfort her friend.
Dr. Jackson entered the room, she checked Monica over and drew some blood.
"Okay, Miss Geller, you're free to go, I'll call you in a few days with the results.
Monica lay on the couch in the living room it had now been three days since she had been to the doctor. Part of her wanted the phone to ring, to tell her they found nothing and that she was going to be okay. The other half hoped that the phone never rang because as long as she didn't get that one call everything was normal.
Then it happened, the phone rang a few times before Monica picked it up, knowing that this could be the one call to turn her world upside down.
"Hello"
"Miss Geller, this is Doctor Dana Jackson, we have you're lab results in"
"Well, what do they say?" Monica asked
"Monica, I'd rather tell you in person"
"No, it's okay just tell me now" Monica pleaded
"Monica" the Doctor began. Monica began to turn ghost white, tears began to roll down her face, she turned the phone off and threw it on the floor beside her.
