Chapter 4

Monica heard slight whimpering coming from next door. She put the phone down and walked into Chandler's apartment. She could hear his tossing and turning. She knocked on the bedroom door and walked in, to see him sweating in bed. She ran over and put a cold cloth on his head. He calmed down and fell asleep again. She stroked his hair for a while and then went out into the living-room, spotting Joey. She walked over and handed him a piece of paper.

"That's my number for my mobile and work. Call me if he gets any worse. And I mean any worse." Se said sternly, and then backed out of the apartment.

Monica was filling in her latest order when the phone rang. She snatched it up and heard Joey's voice.

"Um, Monica?"

"What? What's wrong? Is he worse?" She asked, panicked.

"Kinda. He is throwing up." Joey said.

"I'm on my way," Monica said, hanging up.

Monica burst through the apartment door and into Joey's. he pointed to the bathroom and she filled a glass if water at the sink and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Monica?" Chandler's voice asked.

"Yeah. I'm coming in," she said, and walked in to find Chandler cross legged on the floor like a child. She held in a laugh and knelt beside him. She gave him the water and he drank some, and then she pulled him into a hug, kissing his head.

"Sorry I wasn't here," she said.

"It's okay," he said. She rocked him back and forth for a while.

"Can you stand?" She asked. He nodded and stood up, holding on to the sink. "You okay?" She asked.

"I'm a little dizzy," He said. She picked his glass up off the floor and rinsed it out, putting it next to the sink. She saw him go dizzy again.

"Mon," He called out again like a child, and within a second she was by his side. She lead him to bed and came back out of his bedroom.

"He okay?" Joey asked.

"Now, I think he will be. Has he ever been this sick?" Monica asked. Joey shook his head.

"Not when I've lived with him." The door burst open and two girls, one with brown hair and one with blond, came in.

"These are my friends, Rachel and Phoebe." Joey said. Monica smiled at them.

"We heard Chandler was sick?" Rachel said.

"Yeah he is, he's pretty bad." Monica said.

"I can see that," Phoebe said as Chandler started a coughing fit, Monica went to the kitchen to get him some water to give to Chandler. She came back out again and stood next to Joey.

"I didn't catch your name?" Phoebe said.

"Monica," She said. Phoebe smiled and they walked out with Joey, leaving Monica to sit with Chandler. He woke up and she smiled at him.

"Go back to sleep," she said.

"I'm not tired," he lied. "Well I am, but I can't sleep. My head hurts." He said. Monica told him to close his eyes and ran her hands through his hair repeatedly. She hoped this would relax him and send him to sleep, and she was right. It did. She kissed his head and tucked him in, closing the door.
