Author's note: Howdy. Thanks to my reviewers for the last chapter, and once again, sorry it was short, but I will try to make up for that with this one. And I'm getting so many great ideas for what can happen next, and I would love to say thank you! This story would not have made it this far if it wasn't for you lovely people. :)


After the accident, Monica remembered seeing the others in the background, all seven of them, Richard included, was frozen in shock at what had just happened. She couldn't bring herself to say anything, or move, or scream, anything. She had just stood there, vaguely aware that Richard had put his arms around her. She didn't know who had called for an ambulance, but she could hear the sirens in the distance. She couldn't even force herself to glance at Chandler, who was still laying on the ground, not moving. She buried her face in Richard's shoulder, tears falling freely down her cheeks.

Now they were all in the waiting room of the hospital. She couldn't say anything, nobody could. All she could think about was that Chandler had risked his life to save her. But why? Why would he even do that? She didn't deserve to be saved after everything she put him through.

Rachel and Phoebe were sitting beside her, trying to console her. Ross and Joey had went to talk to the doctor. And Richard was pacing around the waiting room.

Silence passed between them for what seemed like hours. How many hours had they been here? She wasn't really sure. She started biting on her fingernails nervously. She really wanted to talk to Chandler, and see why he would risk his life this way. She rubbed her head with her hands in frustration. What was taking so long? She glanced up when she spotted Ross and Joey coming back. She quickly stood up. "How is he?" She asked hesitantly, not really sure if she wanted to know the answer or not.

Ross sighed. "Mon, its not looking too good. The doctors are hopeful though."

Monica just stared at him for a long time, then sat back down in her seat. She felt tears slide down her cheeks, as she buried her face in her hands. Rachel pulled her into a hug, while Phoebe rubbed her back for comfort.

Joey just stood a little ways off, watching them, Ross tried to help calm Monica down, and Richard went back to pacing. This was going to be a long night.


A nurse finally came out of the room, then walked over to where the group was waiting. "I wish I had better news to give. We've already almost lost him twice. He's got a few broken ribs, a broken arm, and possibly some internal injuries."

Monica gasped. "When can we see him?" She asked, standing up quickly.

The nurse sighed tiredly. "You can all go on in right now. He's in a coma right now though." She informed them, then walked off.

Monica glanced at the others, then hurried to the door. She pushed it open, then walked towards the bed he was laying on. She covered her mouth. His right arm was in a cast, and he had a bandage around his head. She hesitantly sat down in the chair beside his bed, then took his hand in hers. "Wake up, please wake up." She whispered softly. "If you can hear me, squeeze my hand," she pleaded, but there was no response. She glanced up at the others who were slowly creeping in.


Monica had fallen asleep in her chair, when she woke up, the others were gone. She wanted to call out to them to see where they went, but she remained silent. She glanced back towards Chandler, who looked peaceful. She lightly squeezed his hand. "Please wake up.." she pleaded softly. "I need to ask you why you pushed me out of the way, we weren't together then.." she broke off, brushing the tears from her eyes. "I am so sorry, you were right. It does take two people to ruin a relationship." She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry that I didn't listen when you told me that earlier."

She started to remove her hand from his to see if she could find the others, when she felt a gentle squeeze. "Chandler..?" She asked softly, quickly standing up. "You okay?" She asked. She sighed when he didn't respond to her voice, then slowly sat back down. Maybe it was just wishful hoping. She once again started to remove her hand from his, and felt the familiar gentle squeeze she had felt earlier. This time she was sure. "Chandler? Can you hear me now?" She asked softly, standing up again.

Chandler opened his eyes a slit, then closed them again. He just laid there, listening to the beeping sounds of the heart monitor. He was vaguely aware of Monica sitting next to him. But where was he? How did he get here? And how long had he been here? He took a deep painful breath. "Ow," he said softly. "I hurt."

She nodded. "I know, I know. You were just hit by a car. You remember? You pushed me out of the way."

He opened his eyes again, then glanced at her. "I was what?" He yelped in pain when he tried to quickly sit up.

She gently pushed him back down. "Don't. You have to stay there and relax." She walked towards the door, then opened it. She saw the others sitting around the room. "Guys, he's awake!" She told them, before ducking back in.

The others followed her.

She sat back down in her chair. "Chandler, can you remember anything about the accident?" She asked softly.

Chandler glanced from her to the others, then back again. "No, what accident? Is that why I'm in here?"

Monica nodded. "I'm afraid so. As I said, I was in the path of the car, and you pushed me out of the way, and the car hit you instead."

He glanced up towards the ceiling, not really sure what to say next. Silence just passed threw the room, no one wanting to be the first to break it.

Monica thought a moment. "Do you remember us breaking up?" She asked hesitantly. Chandler glanced at her. That confused expression was the only answer that she had needed.

Chandler glanced over at the others, before closing his eyes again. He felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks instead of by a car. They had broke up? What stupid thing had he done this time?


Dun dun dun! The end of Chapter 7. I hope this chapter met expectations. And I would love to thank the reviewer who gave me a ton of great ideas for this story. May not seem like it now, but I do plan on Mondler getting back together. They were my favorite couple on the show, along with Ross and Rachel. And I always thought Joey and Phoebe would have made a cute couple too. Welp, review, follow, favorite, or all three and let me know what you thought!

Tall, out!
