FRIENDS fan fiction.
Phoebe's car accident.
It was a cold, wintery day in New York All of the gang, minus Monica, who was working, was gathered at Central Perk. "Rachel, are you sure you don't want to come shopping with me?"
"No, thanks anyway Pheebs, but I have to work.
"Work?" Chandler said in shock. "Since when does Rachel give up shopping with one of her best friends?
Rachel(retorting), "I need the extra tips. Say, you guys NEVER give me tips. How about some today?"
"Somehow, I don't think that's going to happen Rach." Joey said with a grin.
"See you guys. I'll be back for dinner. Rachel's place, right?"
"Yep. See you Pheebs." Ross said.
(Phoebe leaves, than Rachel finishes up work half an hour later. The rest of the gang leaves for their apartment(s).
1 hour later:
The gang, except Monica and Phoebe, are at Rachel and Monica's place, haning out. Suddenly the phone rings. Rachel picks it up. "Hello?" she listened for a moment, than her face went pale. She literally drops the phone. Joey notest the look on Rachel's face.
"Rach, what is it?"
Rachel burst into tears. "It's Pheobe," she managed to choke out. "She's been in an accident."
Ross, Chandler and Joey embrace Rachel, tears streaming down their faces as well. This couldn't be happining.
After a few minutes, Ross pulls himself out of the embrace. "I'd better phone Monica." he said soberly. Rachel nodded. "Tell her to meet us at the hospital."
Ross: "Mon, you gotta come to the hospital."
Mon:(worried) "Why, what's wrong?"
Ross: "Phoebe. She's been in a car accident."
Mon: "Oh, God, is she all right?"
Ross: "They haven't released anything yet. Just come."
Mon: "Of course, I'm on my way."
(After she hangs up the phone, she starts to cry, and hurries off to her car. "Please Pheobe, she thought, please hang in there for us."
Within five minutes, Monica rushed in the waiting room of New York General. She saw Rachel, crying quietly, and Chandler, Ross and Joey with grief in their faces and eyes. Wordlessly, she turned to Rachel and hugged her, tears appearing in her eyes as well. Than she hugged Joey, than Ross, and than flew into Chandlers arm. "How is she?" Monica finally managed to choke out. Chandler lookes grim. His voice, was soft, barely audiable. "There's only a 25% chance that she'll make it."
