Chapter 4

"Hey Joey. What's happening?" Chandler said as he walked into the living room. He watched Joey open a can of beer as he sat down to watch Baywatch.

"Nothing. Chandler man, it's the middle of summer what the hell are you doing wearing long sleeves? You're not worried about those rope burns are you?" Joey said looking over at Chandler.

"I'm cold Joe. That's all. Besides, why would I be worried about these? There just rope burns". Chandler said sitting down on the adjacent couch. He put his feet up on the table and started to watch the show.

"When are you going to tell me the truth?"

"The truth about what? I tell you the truth about everything."

"No you don't. Tell me about college. Tell me about why you flinch whenever I touch you. Tell me if they're really rope burns, I know what they really are. Just admit it. And tell me what you keep remembering Chandler. I'm sick of this. I'm worried about you. Just tell me the truth for once!" Joey said, starting to get worked up. He was worried about Chandler.

Chandler stood up. "I'm going out. Don't wait up." He grabbed his keys and left the apartment. Joey just sat there. It was after midnight when Joey went to bed.

When he awoke the next morning, Chandler still wasn't home. He was getting worried. Who knows what he could have done? He wished he could have just controlled his temper. He decided he should call the others. He thought they needed to know, especially since Chandler had been gone over 24 hours. He thought that if all of them could help him, maybe something could change. Maybe they could find him.

He called everyone over and they were all there within the hour. After Ross, the last one to arrive sat down, he started speaking. "How do I say this? Chandler is gone. He left about this time yesterday. He hasn't come back. But Umm....I'm worried."

"That's what you called us over for Joey? Cause Chandler has been gone a day? He probably just got nailed." Ross said, trying to act cool.

"You don't understand. Monica knows this. I told her the other day. Their is more to Chandler then meets the eye. "In college Chandler kinda had this whole mental break down thing. He uhh started having nightmares and panic attacks." He told them exactly what he had told Monica the other day. "And then yesterday, I confronted him. I asked him to tell me the truth about everything. And what he kept dreaming about. He left. He hasn't been back since. He didn't even take his wallet."

Everybody just sat there in disbelief. No one said anything. At that moment the phone rang. Joey rushed to answer it; "Chandler?" He yelled into the phone.

"No, is the Joey Tribbiani? Good. My name is Nurse Reynolds. I am afraid there has been an accident. A Chandler Bing was in an accident last night. I think you should get down to the St. Mary's hospital ASAP." He heard a man say on the other line. Joey hung up.

"Chandlers been in an accident. He's at St. Mary's. We've got to go." He said grabbing his stuff. They all followed him out the door.
