If I get some medical stuff wrong, which I know I will, either ignore it or tell me in your review and I'll change it. Thanks!
Chapter seven:
Rachel entered the waiting room sobbing hysterically. Ross rushed over to her and wrapped his arms tightly around her. Joey and Phoebe also got up, worried expressions on both their faces.
"What happened, Rach? Why are you crying?" Ross asked gently. Rachel tried to control her sobs so she could tell every one what happened.
"I was in Monica's room and she was crying," Rachel paused to hold down the tears threatening to spill over, "And an alarm went off and doctors came in and made me leave." The end of the sentence came out in a sob because Rachel was crying again.
"Is she alright?" Joey asked.
"I don't know."
Ross released Rachel and went over to a corner of the waiting room and sat down. Rachel started to walk over to him. She was going to yell at him. She was so mad that he wasn't even sad that his sister could die any minute. When she got to him every angry bone in her body left when she saw that he was crying.
She sat down next to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She rocked him gently back and forth while he cried into her shoulder.
"I don't want my sister to die. I'm not mad anymore. I just want Monica and Chandler to be okay." He cried.
Rachel smiled sadly. She was glad Ross wasn't mad anymore. She just hoped Monica lived long enough to know how Ross felt.

Chandler could hear sounds in the far distance. He strained to hear them. There were voices and a loud incessant beeping. The beeping was giving him a headache. How he wished it would stop. The voices grew louder gradually, but unfortunately so did the beeping.
Chandler finally recognized the voices as the ones that belonged to Rachel and Ross. Ross? What is he doing here? I thought he was mad at me. Chandler thought. He tried to open his mouth to ask him just that, but found that he couldn't. It was so hard.
Instead, he tried to open his eyes. To see their faces and let him know he wasn't dreaming or crazy. His eyelids were just so heavy. Why can't I open my eyes? Why can't I talk? What's wrong with me? Then he remembered. The car crash. The crash that was his fault. He knew it. He wouldn't be surprised if Monica never spoke to him again. Monica. I hope she's all right. And the girls and Matthew.
He tried to open his eyes again. He had to find out if every one was okay. He used all his strength and concentrated only on opening his eyes. He used all his might and when he finally got them opened he sighed with relief. He could now see Ross and Rachel.
Ross heard the sigh and turned quickly to face Chandler. He smiled when he saw his eyes open. Rachel, who was watching Ross, followed his lead and turned to look at Chandler. Tears came to her eyes. He was awake! He would be all right! She was sure the doctor said he would be all right if he woke up.
"I'm going to go get the doctor." Rachel said and exited the room quickly.
Chandler looked around the room. He noticed that the thing that made the beeping noise was the machine they were using to monitor his heart with. The room was all white with no color. It was so dull. But all hospital rooms are aren't they? He thought to himself before he turned to look at Ross again.
"I thought you were mad?" Chandler's voice was barely above a whisper.
"I was, but I'm not any more. I'm so sorry, Chandler! I love you guys. I mean, I was just so mad that you would leave me. It felt like you and Monica were deserting us. And I'm so sorry for being a jerk."
"I'm sorry we left. I wish we never had. We were stupid and afraid. I'm sorry. We should have written or called. I mean you guys were, are, my family and I'm sorry it felt like we were deserting you. You're my best friend."
"You're my best friend too." Ross said. "I'm so happy you're okay." Ross gave Chandler a hug.
Rachel walked in with a doctor. Rachel and Ross left before Chandler could ask them about Monica and his kids. I'll just ask them later. He thought, before turning his attention to the doctors.

Monica woke up a few hours later very confused. She had no idea where she was. She looked around the small white room and knew it couldn't be hers. She then noticed the machines and realized she was in a hospital. The door opened to the room and in walked Rachel.
The doctor had told Rachel that Monica was in stable condition and Rachel could visit her if she wanted. Of course Rachel wanted to see Monica after what had happened the last time she saw her. She just wanted to make sure Monica was okay.
"Monica! Thank god you're okay!" Rachel exclaimed running over to her and hugging her carefully avoiding the needle in her wrist and made sure not to hurt her fractured ribs.
Monica backed away in confusion. "Who are you?! Who's Monica?" Monica hugged her blanket close to her hoping to be protected from the crazy stranger in her room.
"Mon, It's me, Rachel." Rachel said her smile fading a little.
"I pretty sure I don't know any one named Rachel and who is Mon?"
"You're Mon."
"No, that can't be right. I should know my own name." Monica said a defeated look on her face.
Rachel was confused almost as much as Monica was. "Umm, I'm gonna go get the doctor." Rachel hurriedly left the room and rushed to get the doctor.
A few minutes later the doctor entered with Rachel following closely behind. Dr. Williams sat down by Monica's bed. "I'm gonna ask you a few questions okay. If you don't know the answers just tell me you don't know, okay?"
"Okay."
"What is your name?"
"I don't know. And I know its something I should know, I just can't remember." Monica said sadly. She wished she knew her name.
"Can you tell me what year it is?"
"No, I don't know."
After a few more questions, Dr. Williams sighed. "I'm afraid you are suffering from amnesia."
