Chapter 3
"Hey Monica." Joey said as he walked into the girls apartment. "What you doin?"
"Thinking. Joey, would you please tell me what happened to Chandler during college. Please? I am really worried about him. After seeing those marks...Joey, are they really rope burns?" Monica said looking at Joey, tears in her eyes. She didn't think that Joey would really tell her. Monica had liked Chandler for years, but knew that he never returned her feelings. She couldn't bare to have something happen to the man she loved and not help him.
"Monica...you know I can't tell you. You're really worried about him aren't you?" Joey said, coming and sitting next to her.
"You know I am."
Joey paused for a moment. "Look, I'll tell you. But you have to remember that I don't know the full story and you can't tell anyone. Promise me?" Joey said, looking her in the eye. Joey wasn't usually serious, but now he was.
"I promise. Joey, Chandler is one of my best friends. He hasn't been himself lately and I just want to help."
"I know. OK, here's what I know. During college, Chandler kinda had this whole mental break down thing. He uhh started having nightmares and panic attacks, I don't know why. He never told me. Or anyone for that matter. It was like he started to remember things. Anyway, he...he uhh...he tried to kill himself". Joey shut his eyes for a minute before he continued. He knew Monica was crying. "Helena, his mother, she put him in a place. Like a mental health place. He was there for 6 months. I visited him occasionally. He...he just sat there. Doing nothing. Every now again, he'd say something like 'it didn't work. Why didn't it work?'. It was awful. He came out eventually, and was completely normal. It was like the whole thing didn't happen. No more nightmares, no more panic attacks. Just good old Chandler. Something happened to him Monica. I don't know what. But something, something that he keeps blocking out. And occasionally he starts to remember it. And he blocks it out again. Those weren't rope burns Monica. You were right. I'd seen those marks before. I saw those marks in college. He cut himself Monica." Joey started crying for a brief moment. Joey was rarely ever serious. Always cracking jokes and making people laugh, Monica had never seen him like this. Joey quickly got under control. "You know nothing Monica, you got that? I told you nothing." Joey got up and left the apartment. He wished he hadn't told Monica all that. She shouldn't have known. And what if he was wrong about the remembering thing? And the marks. He should have just kept his mouth shut.
But what if Chandler was remembering something? What if this time he really did kill himself?
