Another Day in Life: Chapter 7: You only have four walls

(((((())))))

Calm, peaceful, surreal.

The words floated through his mind like a butterfly on a sunny summer day.

This moment was perfect, everything was right, just as it should be.

Using his index finger, he pushed his sunglasses futher up on the bridge of his nose.

Slowly he pulled the car up to the red stop light, and he sighed, resting his head back against the leather head rest.

Glancing over to where Rachel and Monica sat beside him, he smiled at their content attitudes.

Eyes closed, heads back, trying to soak up that last little ounce of sun that the universe was about to put away for the day.

He looked up to the rear view mirror, looking behind him at Joey, Phoebe, and Ross.

Joey sat on the far right, asleep, while Phoebe was in the middle, her head resting on Joey's shoulder, also fast asleep.

Ross was on the far left, his arm up on the ledge of the BMW convertible, staring out at nothing in particular.

This was how it was supposed to be, the six of them, all together, nothing to bring their moods down.

But little did they know, that was all about to change.

The light quickly turned to green and Chandler slowly drove the car out into the middle of the intersection.

The light for the traffic to the left had already turned red, but that didn't matter to one driver.

Before he knew what was going on, Chandler heard a loud honking.

He snapped his head to the left, but he wasn't quick enough to get the car out of the way, and the opposing car slammed into the driver's side of his beamer, sending them flying across the intersection.

His head snapped forward, hitting his forehead on the steering wheel.

The entire door caved in, pinning him against Rachel.

The hood of the other car flipped open 180 degrees, hitting Ross and Chandler as the two vehicles continued to slid up onto the sidewalk.

Chandler gripped the wheel, trying to gain control, but nothing was helping.

They skidded to a stop, just ten feet away from the double doors of the restaurant before them.

Blood poored down over his face and into his eyes, making his world turn red.

He tired to turn to look at everybody else in the car to see if they were ok, but he groaned in pain as his body twisted in unwanted positions.

He could hear the voices of Monica and Rachel, asking each other if they were alright, but they sounded so far away.

A hand clasped his shoulder and he looked down at it, suspecting it was Joey's.

Joey was speaking to him, but it was becoming increasingly hard to focus.

He made out 'are you alright? Chandler, can you hear me?', but was in to much shock to reply.

His hearing came and went within seconds.

He could hear distant sirens, but was unaware that they were right actually right next to him, and the paramedics were trying to pry his door off for easier acess to him.

The door flew off and he looked to his left, watching Ross being wheeled by, already on a gurney, covered in blood, but his arms were moving around and he took that as a good sign.

A tiny light flashed in his eyes, clicking on and off.

He could feel somebody gingerly unbottoning his shirt, which was now soaked in blood.

Once it was off, he looked down at himself, where a large gash ran the length of his chest and around to his side.

He hadn't even noticed that until now, and as the paramedic tied to wipe some blood away, he yelled out in pain.

"We have to get him to a hospital immediately." He heard somebody say.

Slowly they helped him onto a gurney and as he laid back, he looked up to the blue sky that just moments before seemed so comforting, and oddly, it still did.
