The One With the hard truth
This is the continuation of TOW the help. Sorry it took longer but I was very busy with other stuff.
It is maybe unrealistic with Rachel´s baby but who cares. This is the last part. Please read and review! Oh, and the characters do not belong to me.
Everybody was in Rachels and Monicas apartment, talking about the babygirl, Rachel was carrring. But Monica didn´t pay attention, at this day it was exactly a month since Chandler was gone. She missed him terribly and every time she was down, she missed his jokes which always put a smile on her face. Ross once mentioned that Chandler might be dead but Monica couldn´t and didn´t want to believe this, Chandler wouldn´t do things like these, she knew that because she knew him.
Joey brought her back to reality. " Hey Mon, everything all right?" " Yeah, sure, why are you asking?" " You didn´t anwer." Phoebe said. " You asked me something?" Monica asked surprised.
" Yeah, I wanted to know, if you could make some of these terrific sandwiches." Monica smlied a bit. " Sure, Joey." She went to the kitchen and began to make the sandwiches. Suddenly the phone rang and Rachel answered it. " Hello? Who? Sure she is here... " Mon, it´s for you, a Nick Bolhaunt or something." Monica knew that name, it was someone from the anonymus alcoholics. " Hey... no.. Really?... when?... You, yeah I understand...he isn´t...that´s good..I´m coming." She hung up. Everybody looked at her asking. " I need to see an old friend." She ran out. " An old friend?" Rachel asked in disbelief and the others shook their heads. Monica was supposed to meet with Nick at the hospital, he was surprised that she was there quickly. " Wow, you are fast." " Where is he?" she asked a bit out of breath. " Surgery, you can´t see him right now, but in a few minutes." " And how is he now?" " I don´t know, but I think he is not going to die." " How did it happen?" " I think he better tells you himself." Monica looked scared. " Chandler is strong, he won´t give up, trust me." After some minutes Monica could go into Chandlers room. When she looked at him for the frist time, she shocked. He wasn´t the man she knew, he looked terribly. She sat down on a chair besides the bed. Chandler opened his eyes. " Mon? Are you here?" he asked weakly. She took his hand and squezzed it tightly. " I´m here." she said almost in tears. " It wasn´t my fault, they didn´t tell me that there was alcohol in it, if I´d known I would have never drunk it, believe me." " I believe you." " I didn´t drink the whole months, and then yesterday I went out with some people and I told them that I didn´t want alcohol and they said ok, but then after some drinks I got dizzy and drank and drank, and suddenly you popped into my head, I saw you smile and laugh of one my jokes, and like you always treat my so great and then I remebered how I stopped myself from drinking the whole time, and I did stop." Monica was really touched by his words, and she couldn´t stop herself from crying anymore. " So how did you come here?" she chocked out. " I don´t really remember, I guess I wanted to drive home. To you and the others. And I asked someone to bring me. A woman took me into her car and more I don´t remember. Do you can forgive me?" Monica smiled. " Of course. But only when you promise to take help. I know you think you can do that by yourself, and maybe you really can but if you´ll take professional help, it could last forever." " You spoke with Ross?" " Sorry, I..." " No, it´s ok and you are right. I´m going to a reha-center, which Nick told me of." " That is great." " I don´t know, I have to stay there for about six months and it´s in California." Monica looked at him, sad. Sure, she wanted him to get healthy but she was so glad to have him back, she didn´t want him to leave again. " You could come with me." He said looking into her eyes. Monica was a bit shocked by that. " Chandler, you just had an accident, you shoul better think about it again and if you are sure what you want then you can ask me again. I´m gonna call the others." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and left for the telephone. But when she called at home, no one was there. It surprised her, especially because it was usually someone at home. She didn´t worry about it much and went back to Chandler. The others, too, were in the hospital but not because of Chandler. It was because of Rachel, she had felt this terrible pain and Ross brought her at the hospital at once. Ross was with Rachel in the room, while Joey and Phoebe were waiting in the waiting room. Suddenly Joey saw Monica. " Hey Mon." He screamed and she walked to them.
" What are you doing here?" Phoebe asked her. " What are you doing here?" Monica asked back.
" Rachel, she had a terrible pian, and you?" " Chandler is here, he had an accident yesterday.
" How is he?" Joey asked. " Not so bad, I hope Rachel is ok, too. I´m gonna go to Chandler and then I´m coming back." When Monica entered the room, Chandler was about to get up. " What are you doing?" " I´m allowed to get up, the doctor said." " Wait, I´ll help you." She helped him up and together they walked to the door. " Where are we going?" Chandler asked. " To see the others, Rachel is here. She is pregnant and now she felt a pain." As they arrived in the waiting room, Ross just came out. " What has happened?" Monica asked. Ross lifted his head. " Chandler, you are back, great. Rachel had a miscariage." Everybody was shocked. " How is she?" Phoebe asked.
" Not good, she is crying the whole time, she sent me away." Ross said almost crying. " She needs time." Monica said. " I know." The time passed. Chandler could leave the hospital the same day and Monica took care of him. Rachel, too, could leave, but she needed space and so she let her mother come. Ross was very hurt by that, but he knew let her doing this was the only thing he could do. When Chandler felt better, he had to leave for the reha center. " Mon?" he asked one evening when they were watching tv in her apartment. " Yeah?" " You said when I´m sure about that what I want I could ask you again." She nodded. " I am sure, I want you to come with me but just when you want it, too." She looked at him and smiled, he had this beautiful shine in his blue eyes which made her sure not to say the wrong thing. " I want to come with you." Chandler smiled and then he leaned over and kissed her. He was surprised that she kissed him back. After some time he broke the kiss. " Well at least it had one good thing, I´ve got you." He said and they kissed again.
END
This was really sucking, I know but please review! And I´m sorry for putting Chandler and Monica always together, I just can´t help myself.
So, maybe I´ll write a sequel but only if a lot of people want me to.
