TOW Ross loses it
"I just can't see Chandler cheating!" Ross said slowly as he and Joey stood shocked, listening to the girls' news.
"I'm telling you guys, we followed them out to a house in Westchester, the went in for like forty-five minutes and then they came out looking pretty happy!" Rachel informed them.
"Chandler? Forty-five minutes? Well, something is not right." Joey wasn't convinced; this was Chandler they were talking about. His best friend, the guy who knew how painful it was to be cheated on. He would never do anything like that. Not to Monica. "I just can't believe he would do this to Monica!"
"I know, and with the baby coming?" Ross added, still shocked.
"So, should we tell her?" Phoebe questioned.
"I don't know. Phoebe, if one of us saw Mike with another woman would you want us to tell you?"
"Why? Who'd you seen him with?"
"No one, I'm just saying if…" Ross started but was cut off by Phoebe pinching his neck, causing him to scream.
"TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!"
"I know nothing! Mike's a great guy, it was hypothetical!" Ross shouted in pain.
"All right…." Phoebe finally lets him go. "He is a good guy. You're right, he wouldn't cheat."
"Believe me, if I did see with someone, there's no way I…" Ross said to Joey and Rachel, making Phoebe pinched him again.
"WHO DID YOU SEE HIM WITH?"
"Pheebs! Calm down!" Rachel told her, pulling Ross away. "We gotta sort out what to do."
"I think we should go talk to Mon…" Phoebe suggested.
"Yeah, she needs to know." Ross added, rubbing his neck, shooting Phoebe an evil look.
"Wait!" Joey stopped them as they headed for the door. "What if Chandler's there?"
They glanced at each other, wondering what the best option would be.
"We wait till Mon's on her own." Ross told them. "He'll just deny it…at least without him there, she can hear what we have to say."
"Yeah, okay…lets go.." The others nodded their agreement and headed across the hall.
They stood staring at Chandler as he was setting the table.
"Hey guys…" He looked up and grinned at them.
"Where's Monica?" Rachel asked shortly.
"She's gone to get food…" He frowned slightly at the looks on their faces. "Is everything ok??"
"Fine…" Ross said, coldly as they all turned to walk out.
"Aren't you staying for something to eat?"
"No thank you." Was the only thing said as all four of them walked out.
Chandler stared at the closed door confused, he wondered if they had worked out their plans to move. He didn't see how they could but that would explain their behaviour. He shrugged and turned his attention back to getting the apartment ready for when Monica returned.

"How can he act like nothing has happened?" Ross asked the others as he downed half of his beer. "I warned him not to hurt my sister!"
"I think we should hear his side before we jump to any more conclusions…" Joey sighed.
"How can he cheat on her?!" Ross demanded, finishing his drink and reaching for another.
"Ross, dude slow down…you've already drunk like 5..." Joey took the bottle off him.
"Okay…" Ross stood up, swaying slightly. "I'm going home."
"Look, why don't you crash here tonight…" Rachel offered.
"No, I'll be fine…" He told them, flashing them a reassuring smile. "I just need some air."
"Okay, well do you want me to walk you over?" Joey asked.
"No, you guys stay here…let me know if you see Mon."
"Yeah well do…"
"Cya later…"
Ross closed the door behind him and leaned against. He couldn't believe his best friend would cheat on his baby sister. He warned him, he promised he would kick his ass if he did anything to hurt her and he was going to keep it. He walked over to apartment 20 and pushed the door open.
"Oh, you're back…" Chandler said when he saw him.
"Looks that way…where's Mon?"
"She's still not back…"
"Good!"
"What's going on…" Chandler was cut off by Ross' fist slamming into his face. He staggered backwards, looking at Ross in a slight daze.
"I warned you!!" Ross yelled and punched him again, this time causing him to fall to the floor.
"Who is she?" He demanded, standing over his former best friend.
"Who?"
"You know who…that women you was with earlier!" Ross aimed a kick at his ribs.
"Nancy?" Chandler questioned, coughing when he got another kick.
"What's the noise?" Rachel asked, Joey and Phoebe.
"I don't know…" Joey stood up and walked towards the door. "It's coming from across the hall."
The girls followed Joey over, gasping as they saw Ross repeatedly kicking Chandler, screaming insults at him.
"Ross!!!" Joey ran over and grabbed him, pulling back.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Rachel demanded.
"He admitted it!" Ross told them, breathlessly. "The jerk admitted! He deserves everything he gets!"
They all looked at Chandler, curled up on the floor, shrugging to suck in air. They waited for him to deny it, to tell them it wasn't true but he stayed silent.
Rachel shook her head in disbelief. "Come on, let's go."
"Rach…" Chandler called weakly when he saw them all turn.
"Forget it!" She told him.
"Joey…" Chandler looked pleading at his best friends but only got a disproving look as he closed the door behind him.
Chandler collapsed back down on the floor. His head was throbbing and his ribs were burning. After a few minutes, he dragged himself painfully to his feet and managed to stumble into the bathroom. He locked the door behind him, he wasn't sure whether it was out of fear of Ross returning or Monica coming in and finding him like this.
He looked shocked at his appearance; there was a large cut above his eye and blood spilled from both his lip and nose. He knew he wouldn't be able to hide this from Monica. He winced when he pulled up his shirt, deep bruising had already appeared across his ribs and part of his chest. He let his shirt drop back down as he sat on the edge of the bath.
He never seen Ross acted like that before, he had smelt the alcohol on him and for a few moments thought he was going to keep kicking and kicking until he killed him.

"What happened to waiting for Monica?!" Rachel asked once they had left the apartment building.
"I don't know! I just lost it!" Ross told them. "He cheated on my little sister."
"I can't believe Chandler would that!" Phoebe said. "He really admitted?"
"Yes! He even told me her name was Nancy!" Ross spat out her name.
They were all silent for a few seconds before Rachel broke it.
"Lets get some coffee…"
XxXxX
Monica ran up the stairs to her apartment, a smile firmly fixed on her face. They were getting a baby and they had put an offer on the perfect house. She knew the guys would take it hard but she found it hard to feel bad at the moment, she was too happy.
"Chandler? You here?" She called out as she walked in, surprised to find her apartment empty.
"Umm, yeah in here…" He said quietly from the bathroom.
She set her stuff down on the table and moved to go inside but found it locked.
"Honey, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine…" Chandler managed to stutter.
Concern grew when Monica spotted a small pool of blood on the floor.
"Chandler opened the door." She told him. "Please, you're scaring me."
After a few minutes, she heard the lock click; she slowly pushed the door open. Gasping when she saw the state he was in.
"Oh my god!" She rushed forward. "What happened?"
"It's okay, Mon…I'm fine."
"Chandler, you're not fine!" She told him. "Come on, let's get to the hospital…"
"Mon.."
"No, lets go!" She ordered, Chandler sighed and stood up.
She helped him down to her car, her concern growing every time he screamed out in pain when he moved.
She drove as fast as she could to the hospital, when she glanced at him; she saw he had his eyes closed.
"Chandler, you can't sleep…" She told him. "You need to stay awake."
He reluctantly open his eyes, trying to ignore the pounding in his head and nauseous feeling he had.
"I'll all the guys when we get there…" She reached across and squeezed his hand.
"No…" Chandler mumbled. "I don't want them there."
"Chandler…"
"No, please, Mon…" He begged weakly.
"Okay, if that what you want." She sighed, curious to why he didn't want them there but decided it was best to find out why later.
