AN: Here's another chapter for you guys. It's a little short, but I wanted one chapter with Chandler undergoing hypnosis. Please R&R.

Chapter 11

Phoebe arrived at Monica and Rachel's mid-morning and saw Joey sitting across from Chandler at the table. Chandler was fidgeting so badly that he was shaking the table.

"Dude, calm down." Joey told him.

"It's not everyday that I'm hypnotized, ok?" Chandler snapped at him.

"Take a deep breath," Phoebe told him. "You made the decision. You need to have enough courage to follow through."

"Here," Monica brought over a cup of coffee. "Maybe this will calm your nerves."

"Thanks." he said softly.

"Hey," Rachel came in with Ross. "We were hoping to catch you before you left. We wanted to wish you luck."

"We should probably get going." Monica told Chandler. "Dr. Williams wanted us to get there early."

"Ok." Chandler slowly got up from the table and followed her out.

They reached the doctor's office and the receptionist showed them to a room right when they walked in. Chandler lay across the couch as the receptionist instructed him, and Monica sat across from him in the chair.

"Stop worrying." she brushed the hair out of his eyes. "It'll be ok. Dr. Williams wouldn't have recommended this if it wasn't safe. And I'll be here the entire time."

"Thank you." he smiled at her as Dr. Williams came in.

"Good morning," he smiled at them. "I can see someone is nervous. That's normal. Are we ready to get started?"

"I guess so." Chandler mumbled.

"Ok, Chandler. Just relax. Close your eyes." Chandler listened to what the doctor told him and relaxed as he counted backwards from ten.

Monica watched as Chandler relaxed and his breathing deepened. She stroked his arm soothingly as the doctor got out his notes on Chandler.

"Ok, Chandler. We're going to go back to when you were nine. To the night of October 11, 1976." Chandler's hand started to tighten in Monica's and he started breathing heavy. "I know it's scary, but you have to face it. Now tell me what you see."

"My bedroom."

"What's happening?"

"The door is opening. I'm pretending to sleep because I think it's my mom coming in to check on me."

"But it's not your mom."

"The footsteps are too heavy. I realize too late that I'm in trouble. They place a cloth over my mouth and I fall asleep."

"What's the next thing you remember?"

"Waking up in a dark room. I'm on a bed. My hands and feet are tied to the frame. I can't see, but I know there's someone in the room with me."

"What are they doing?"

"Just watching me. I start hurting."

"Why are you hurting?"

"They did something to me while I was sleeping. Maybe they stabbed me."

"Ok. Let's fast forward two months. It's around Christmas. Where are you?"

"It's a shack. I want to go home. He gets me something. A present."

"What does he give you?"

"A toy car."

"What happened next?"

"I throw it at him. He says I need to be punished for that."

"How does he punish you?"

"He takes me outside. Ties my hands to the tail pipe of his car. He starts it up and drags me along the ground." he tenses up and Monica strokes the back of his hand.

An hour later, the doctor takes Chandler out of his trance. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

"Is it over?" he asked softly.

"It's over." Monica assured him. "Are you ok?"

"I think so." he slowly sat up and she sat beside him.

"You did very well." Dr. Williams handed him a bottled water. "Can you remember anything that we talked about?"

"Not really."

"That's normal. The memories will most likely come back to you later."

"You did very well." Monica rubbed his back.

"How bad were the memories?" he looked at her.

"I'm not going to give you any detail, but a few of them were pretty bad."

"Take a few minutes for yourself, then you can go. I will see you again next week." Dr. Williams told them. "I have to get ready for my next patient."

"Thank you." Chandler told him as he walked out.

"So how do you feel?" Monica asked.

"Kind of tired."

"Dr. Williams said it would take a lot out of you."

"Can we go home now?"

"Sure." she helped him up and they walked out of the office building and grabbed a cab to go back home.

AN: Sorry this chapter is so short. But the next few chapters will start to get more interesting. So please R&R if you want me to put them out faster. And I'm also working on a one-shot that involves Chandler getting attacked on his way home to Monica for their anniversary. It'll probably be posted in a couple days. Thanks for reading!
