DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN FRIENDS OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.

AN: HELLO CHILDREN, I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE WHO REVIEWD FOR LAST CHAPTER. : )

"How's Chandler?" Dominic asked

"Well, the blood loss is concerning us, but he should pull through." The doctor said.

"Oh thank you can! I see him?" Dominic asked.

"Yes, but he is still sedated so it might be awhile until he wakes up." The doctor said and led Dominic to see Chandler. Chandler laid on the bed not moving, he looked so peaceful.

Dominic sat in a chair beside Chandler's bed and thought about the events that had occurred that very day. Chandler and him have already lost one, and Dominic almost lost Chandler. Dominic watched Chandler sleep for about half an hour then got up and walked to Chandler's tent. Dominic searched for the piece of paper that had Monica's number on it.

"Hello?" Monica asked.

"Hello Monica, its Dominic, Chandler's friend." Dominic said.

"Oh hello Dominic, how may I help you?" Monica asked again.

"Well something happened today. Chandler was shot." And that was Dominic had to say for Monica to become hysterical.

"Is he going to be ok?" Monica asked trying to hold back tears.

"Yes, yes he will be just fine. I just figured that you needed to know." Dominic said.

"Thank you." Monica said softly.

"You're welcome, take care." Dominic said and hung up the phone. And immediately walked back to the hospital where Chandler had woken up.

"Hey man." Chandler said weakly.

"Hey, you died there for minute." Dominic said as he gave Chandler a slight poke in the stomach.

"So Ed is dead?" Chandler said ignoring Dominic's last comment.

"Ya," Dominic said. When Dominic saw the look of disappointment on Chandler's face he tried to reassure him. "Chandler you did all you could."

"No I didn't I shouldn't have stopped running." Chandler said ran his hand across his forehead.

"Chandler you were wounded too. Ed probably would have done the same thing." Dominic stated.

"I can't do this anymore Dominic, I can't. It is destroying me." Chandler said to Dominic the gazed behind him to see the Colonel standing at the foot of his bed. Dominic looked behind him from his spot on the bed and turned back to Chandler.

"Private, may I speak to your fellow Private… Alone?" The Colonel asked.

"Yes sir." Dominic said and left.

"Private, I am very impressed. You risked your life for your fellow solider." The Colonel started, and gazed at Chandler who was tearing up. "What's wrong?"

"I can't do this anymore. The army is destroying me." Chandler said with shaky breaths.

"Chandler, The army is bringing you down but here is what I am going to do, give you time off. Go to New York see your family, and when you get back you should be fine." The Colonel said.

"What if I am not?"

"You, will trust me…"


The next week Chandler was released from the Hospital after about three seizures and one allergic reaction to the medicine, and now Chandler was in New York visiting his friends. Chandler sat in the taxi on his way to his old apartment building. He nervous for some reason that he didn't know. He had never been so scared to face his best friends before. The doctors did say that he would have PTSD but Chandler didn't think it would be this bad.

Once Chandler made it to the building and had one of the other tenants buzz him in he stood in front of apartment 20 and took a long deep breath. Once he knocked Monica answered the door.

"Chandler!" Monica said and gave him a tight hug. Chandler didn't reply he just let out a slight laugh and smiled. "Chandler what's wrong?" Monica questioned.

"PTSD." Was all that Chandler said before Monica pulled him into another hug.

"Sweetie come inside." Monica said as she let him in. Monica examined Chandler closely except something was different he wasn't the Chandler that her and her friends all knew he was a new Chandler. He lost a stone of weight, the sparkle in his eye was gone and the corners of his mouth were turned downward. He was becoming something that he wasn't.

Nobody else was in the apartment it was just Monica and Chandler… Alone. The last time they were alone they kissed, and that could have easily escalated. There was no tension between them now which surprised Monica. "Chan do you want anything to eat or drink?" Monica asked. Chandler didn't answer he just shook his head no. "How long are you staying this time?" Monica asked.

"Week and a half." Chandler replied quickly.

"Sweetie please know that I am here for you." Monica said and joined him on the couch.

"Mon it's destroying me, it is." Chandler said as he choked up.

"Honey," Monica began.

"I can't do it." Chandler said as a tear rolled down his check. Monica wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. She needed to tell him that someone still loves him. Unlike the first time they kissed they didn't stop. As her lips parted Monica moaned into his mouth. The kissed lasted for well over five minutes before Chandler pulled back.

"What was that?" Chandler asked as he looked into Monica eyes.

"To show you that someone still loves you." Monica said and kissed him again. Monica broke the kiss that time and removed part of his shirt that was covering his shoulder. She took a look at the bullet wound that was on his shoulder. "Dominic told me what happened." Monica said when she noticed his face watching her every move. "So what is the full story?" Monica asked again.

"Ed my old roommate was shot so in attempt to save his life I picked him up and started to carry him back to the camp, but while I was running I got shot and I couldn't make it back to the camp so I had to stop. I set him by a rock. His final wish was for me to sing so I did." Chandler said, he had been trying to forget but he knew all of his friends would want to know.

"I sorry Chandler." Monica said.

"Ok I have a question for you. Are you going to break up Richard?" Chandler asked.

"Why?" Monica asked, but knowing the reason why.

"Mon you know why." Chandler said back. '

"Well…"

AN: HELLO CHILDREN, I KNOW I KNOW THAT WAS KIND OF BAD BUT I WILL CONTINUE. AGAIN I MUST GET THREE REVIEWS FIRST. :) (And for those of you who don't know PTSD is Post Traumatic stress disorder.)
