Chapter 9

Monica silently climbed out of bed one morning and went to take a shower. Chandler was still sound asleep, so she just let him sleep a little longer. Rachel came out of her bedroom went to the kitchen to get herself some breakfast as she heard the shower on. Then she heard a noise from Monica's room. It was probably Chandler. She quietly walked in and saw Chandler thrashing around on the bed, deep in his dream state.

"Chandler?" she went to him. "Wake up. You need to wake up."

"No! Not that! Please!"

Not able to wake him up, Rachel ran to the bathroom door as she heard the water turn off. She started to pound on the door.

"Monica, Chandler's having a nightmare. I can't get him to wake up."

"How long has he been having it?" she came out in her bathrobe.

"I'm not sure." they went back to Monica's room and Monica tried to shake Chandler awake.

"Chandler, wake up. It's me." she spoke loudly so he could hear her over his screams.

"What?" his eyes shot open and he saw Monica sitting beside him.

"Are you ok?" Monica looked down at him as Rachel silently walked out of the room. "What was this one about?"

"I didn't know that happened." Chandler mumbled. "I just remembered it."

"What?"

"He buried me alive." he said softly.

"It'll be ok." she held him as he tried not to cry in front of her. "I'm still here for you. I always will be."

A little bit later, Monica silently walked out of her room and saw the other three there. She picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Dr. Williams, this is Monica Gellar. Chandler has an appointment later this afternoon. I was hoping we could come in sooner if you had any openings. Yes, he's had a bad episode. Thank you. We'll be there." she hung up the phone and sighed.

"His nightmare was really that bad?" Ross asked.

"Yes. He made me promise not to tell anyone what it was about."

"It's ok." Joey said.

"Do you think he'd mind if I went in to talk to him?" Phoebe asked.

"You can try."

Phoebe went to Monica's door and knocked softly. She got no answer and slowly started to push the door open.

"Chandler?" she stuck her head in. "Can I come in?"

"Sure." he was sitting on the bed already dressed, and she came in and sat beside him. "Did Monica tell you about my dream?"

"She didn't tell us what it was about. Was it that bad?"

"Yeah. I realize I must be repressing some of the memories."

"That's normal. Who would want to remember something like that?"

"I guess me and you have something in common now." he glanced over at her. "Our bad childhoods."

"It wasn't your entire childhood that was bad. Just a few months."

"It felt like my entire childhood."

"You'll get through this, Chandler." she looked at him. "We're all here to help you. If you decide to let us in."

"I will. Just not yet."

"I understand." she smiled at him as Monica came in.

"Hey. Dr. Williams agreed to see us in an hour." she told Chandler.

"Ok." he slowly climbed off the bed and followed her out. He barely looked at the others as he followed Monica out of the apartment.

"How do you think he is?" Rachel asked.

"I think he'll be ok." Phoebe said. "He's repressing a lot of his bad memories. He'll share them with us when he's ready. We just have to try to be patient."

Chandler walked into the doctor's office with Monica and saw the doctor already there. They sat down on the couch and Chandler glanced at the doctor.

"I hear we've had a bad morning." Dr. Williams looked at Chandler.

"Yeah." he said softly.

"Would you like to talk about it? Don't share anything you don't want to."

"Ok." Chandler took a deep breath as Monica rubbed his back. "It was about two months after I was taken. He had left, or I thought he had. I tried to escape, but he caught me. And to punish me-"

"Take your time," Dr. Williams urged him.

"And to punish me…he dragged me from the house and…and he buried me alive in the yard where we were…he gave me a straw to breath through… and left me there for hours…"

"It's ok." Monica held him as he started crying.

"If you want to recover all your repressed memories so that you can deal with them, there is a way." Dr. Williams told them.

"How?" Chandler wiped his eyes.

"With some of my patients, I've tried hypnosis."

"Do you really think that will work?" Chandler asked.

"It's hard to say."

"Are there any bad reactions to doing hypnosis?" Monica asked.

"None of my patients have experienced any." Dr. Williams took out some papers. "There's all the information on it. Take a couple days to think about it. Talk it over with each other and your family. And let me know when you make your final decision."

"Thank you." Chandler took the packet of information and he slowly walked out with Monica. She took his hand and held it tightly as they went to hail a cab.
