Chapter 5: Don't Say That This Is The End

Monica was sobbing in Ross's arms. She sobbed more each time she heard the defibulater. Ross had to get her away from the room. He slowly led her back over to the chairs where their friends sat. She held on to him and continued to cry.

Two police officers approached the group. "Excuse me I'm officer Arquette and this is my partner officer Mulligan" one of them said. "We're looking for Mrs. Bing" she added. "I...I'm Mrs. Bing" Monica whispered he eyes still fixed on Chandler's room. "We're here about the mugging" officer Arquette told her. "W...what about it" she asked. "Did you know the man who mugged you" the officer asked. Monica shook her head. "No" she whispered. "Can you give me a description of the mugger" she asked.

Monica looked at her. "I don't give a damn about that stupid mugger all I care about is my husband and he's in there fighting for his life" she cried. "Ma'am we understand that but don't you want us to catch the guy who shot your husband" officer Mulligan asked. "I don't want to talk about it!" Monica cried. Ross hugged his sister and tried to comfort her. "Mon they're right that asshole needs to be caught" he whispered. "Leave me alone" Monica cried pulling away from him. "All of you just leave me alone" she cried as she stood up and ran down the hall. She kept running until she couldn't run anymore.

She looked around and realized she'd run into a little room filled with vending machines, tables and chairs. Monica picked up one of the chairs and threw it. She picked up another one and sent it crashing into a vending machine. Tears rolled down her face as she trashed the small room. She backed herself against a wall and slid down to the floor. She hugged her knees to her chest. "Oh Chandler" she sobbed.

Joey walked down the same hall Monica had run down. Ross, Rachel and Phoebe had all said that Monica needed to be left alone but he thought differently. She was hurting, she was his bestfriend's wife and he had once made a promise to take care of her if anything were to ever happen to him and he intended to keep that promise. He walked to the end of the hall. He saw a small room. He walked in and saw it had been totally trashed. Then he saw her huddled in the corner hugging her knees to her chest sobbing. Joey walked over and knelt in front of her "Mon" he whispered. "I don't want to talk to the police about the mugger right now" she whimpered. "Then don't" he whispered "You talk to them when you're ready to" he said.

Monica looked at Joey. "Chandler, he's...he's been in my life since I was 17 years old, he's my world Joey, he's my reason for living, I don't want to lose him but I am aren't I" she sobbed. Joey sat down and pulled Monica into a hug. "No Mon you won't lose him" he whispered. "He loves you too much to ever leave you" he said trying to bring her and himself some comfort. "It...it should have been me' she cried. Joey looked at her. "No Mon don't say that" he whispered. "Chandler knew what he was doing when he took that bullet for you" he said. He loves you Mon, so much, he even loves you more than porn and Baywatch" he said with a small grin.

Monica laughed a little through her tears. "Thank you Joey" she whispered. He nodded. "Come on let's go see how Chandler's doing" he stood up and helped her up. They started to leave the room. "Wait" Joey said. He went to the broken vending machine and picked up as much cookies, candy bars, and chips as he could carry. "Joey!" Monica said shaking her head. "What its just laying here going to waste" he giggled as they left and headed back to the gang.

Joey and Monica approached the gang just in time to see Dr. Matthews walking away. "Ross" Monica called. He looked up and saw Monica and Joey who had his arms loaded with snacks. "Dude where's you get all that" he asked. "Mon beat up a vending machine" Joey answered as he sat beside Phoebe. "Ooh I want one of those Three Musketeers Bars" Phoebe said grabbing one. "Mon what's he talking about" Ross asked. "Its a long story I'll tell you later" she answered. "Is...is Chandler okay" she asked. Ross smiled "He gave us quite a scare but Dr. Matthews said he's okay"

Monica sighed with relief "I need to see him" she said. She stood up and walked into Chandler's room. The only sounds were the machines he was hooked up to. She sat down on the bed and took his hand in hers. "Don't you ever scare me like that again Chandler" she whispered tears filling her eyes. She laid down beside him carefully putting her head on his chest. She knew she'd probably get in trouble but she didn't care. She wanted no she needed to be close to him. She closed her eyes and fell asleep to the sound of his heat beating.
