Chapter 12

Monica: Sorry Rach, we didn't mean to wake you

Rachel: No...its okay Mon...I don't mind...

She said this while sitting up slowly, and turning around so her legs were hanging off the side of the bed.

Monica: I can't believe this happened...

Rachel: I know...well I guess I can't really believe any of this is happening

Monica: What do you mean Rach?

Rachel: Well, you guys should probably sit down, there's a lot of stuff I need to say.

Rachel began to recount the events from the time she left Ross's apartment, to the current moment when they were sitting in the hospital room.

Rachel [finishing up the story]: ...anyway, I'm really sorry Mon, but I'm almost positive that Ross was the one responsible for this, and I know that you're his sister, but I just...I hate him so much right now!

Monica [taking a deep breath]: Its okay Rach, you don't have to be sorry about the way you feel. I don't particularly have strong feelings of love towards Ross right now...and I'm not really sure why he would take such strange actions...he is just a totally different person right now.

Rachel [shyly]: There's one other thing...

Chandler [knowingly, with a small smile]: I think we already know Rach...

Rachel [surprised]: Really?

Phoebe: Yea...it's totally obvious, the way that you rushed all the way down to the hospital for him, oblivious to the huge gash on your leg and your black eye, just to see if this one person was okay. Then you stay all night with him, and lie next to him with that protective position. If that's not love between you two...I don't know what it is. And the fact that Joey was willing to take on Ross in one of his crazy moods...that shows amazing devotion and protection for you.

Rachel: You think...I mean...I wasn't really sure if he still loved me...but when we were dancing last night...everything just...I don't know, felt right.

They four are interrupted by loud beeps from the heart monitor that Joey is hooked into.

Rachel [bursting into tears, almost hysterical]: OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!? WHAT'S GOING ON, SOMEBODY GET A DOCTOR IN HERE!!!

Chandler [yelling into the hallway]: WE NEED A DOCTOR IN HERE, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
