Part Four:

There's no one in town I know

You gave us some place to go

I never said thank you for that

I thought I might get

One more chance

Chandler had thought he had another chance. He thought Joey would still be around to hear his "I'm sorry". He never thought of what would happen if suddenly Joey wasn't there. He'd always thought he'd be able to tell Joey "Thanks", for all the pizza nights and all the times Joey consoled him. He always thought he'd have time to say those things. He never thought of what would happen if there suddenly wasn't time.

What would you

Think of me now

So lucky, so strong, so proud?

I never said thank you for that

now I'll never have a chance

Chandler's chance was gone. In the one second it'd taken for some arsonist to light a match, Chandler's life, Monica's life, Ross's life, Rachel's life and Phoebe's life had been changed forever.

After Rachel's phone call, Chandler had phoned Monica and immediately picked her up. But by the time they'd arrived at the hospital, it was too late. Joey, who'd been one of the few people to actually make it out of the burning apartment building, had passed away from the ensuing burns. Upon hearing the news, Chandler passed out.

When he came too, Chandler saw Monica standing over him. "Please," he whispered, "Please tell me that was a nightmare."

Monica bit her lip to keep from crying, "I would do anything, baby," she whispered, "to make that the case." And with those words, she let out a horrible sob.

Chandler couldn't cry. He wanted to, but it seemed his grief was beyond tears. All he could do was gather his wife in his arms, and wonder how things were ever going to be the same again.
