Revenge
Chandler rolled onto his back but stayed asleep, he was aware of Monica calling his name and ignored her.
"Chandler!" She called again, but this time she got up and sat on his stomach.
"Mon?!" He said annoyed, opening his eyes. "What time is it?"
"4:30.."
"Why the hell are you waking me up at 4:30..." He asked.
"I wanted to talk.." She smiled sweetly at him.
"At 4:30?!"
"I don't want to get interrupted…"
"Is everything alright?" He asked, suddenly concerned. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine…" She assured him, "But I was just wondering something…"
"What?""Right, ermm… I was wondering what you would say if I told you I was…umm, pregnant, again."
He stared at her in shock for a moment… "I'd say 7 kids is a lot."
She smiled slightly, "Okay, that's a better response then you passing out."
Chandler shook his head, trying to get everything to make sense, "Are you seriously telling me that we're having another baby?"
"I dunno… It could just be a false alarm but I've got a doctors appointment on Monday to see…" She told him.
"But…how could this happen?" He was starting to freak out slightly.
"Well, if you don't know that by now…"
"What I mean is… how could it happen now?" He said, then continued when she still looked confused, "I mean, aren't you old?"
"Geez…thanks, honey I love you to!" She said sarcastically, "and by the way, you're older then me!!"
"No, I didn't mean it like that!" He reached out for her hand, "I meant, couldn't something happen to you and baby?"
"Yeah, the risks are higher… but I'm not differently sure that I am pregnant, I'd just thought I'd warn you…"
"Right…" Chandler nodded, deep in thoughts, then looked back up at her, "Ross is going to kill me!"
"Why?"
"Because I knocked up his little sister again!"
"Aww, he'll get over it.." She laughed and then leaned down to kiss him.
"I love you…" He told her.
"I love you too!" She smiled and kissed him again, then sat back up.
"So, we've got a few spare hours, anything you wanna do?" She asked, teasingly.
He smiled then closed his eyes, "Yeah, sleep!"
She stared at him for a moment, thinking he was playing around but after a few minutes when he never re-opened his eyes, she sighed and lead back down, still on top of him.
His arms tightened around her. He lifted his head and kissed her hair before slipping back to sleep.
oooooooo
That night, Hayley sat next to the phone, pretending to be reading a magazine. Every so often she would glare at it, willing it to ring. She had been dating Ryan now for 6 months and she loved every minute she spent with him.
"Waiting for a call?" Chandler asked sarcastically, catching her staring at the phone.
"No…" She said, looking back at the magazine.
Chandler rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen and found Monica, Amy, Rachel and Kaydan there.
"Don't you have a home?" He asked Rachel.
"Oh you know you love having me here!" She teased.
"Yes, I love having you, Ross and your kids come over here make a lot of noise and eat all of our food!"
"Don't forget Phoebe and Mike…." Monica added.
"Daddy?" Amy said sweetly, not taking her eyes off the sleeping baby in Rachel's arms, "can I have a baby sister?"
"Ermm…"
"Please! Mommy said to ask you!" She told him, this time looking at him.
He looked over at his wife who was smiling innocently at him. He couldn't help but smile back, remembering their conversation that morning.
"We'll have to see about that," Chandler told her, still looking at Monica.
"What's going on?" Rachel asked slowly, looking from Chandler to Monica.
"Nothing!"
"Yeah right!" She replied.
"I swear, Rachel there is nothing going on!" Chandler laughed.
"Ermm…" She eyed him suspiciously.
The phone ring interrupted their conversation before they could say anything else.
Hayley pounced on it straight away, before anyone else had chance to reach it.
"Hello?!" Her face fell when she heard it wasn't Ryan, "Yeah, he's right here….oh okay…yeah…okay, I will…bye…"
"Wow, recorded breaking time…you were on the phone for less then 1 hour for once…" Chandler teased, when she walked into the kitchen.
"Actually, it wasn't for me! It was for you."
"Who was it?" He frowned.
"Dunno, never left a name just asked me to give you a message…" She told him, grabbing a soda out of the fridge and opening it.
"Which was…"
"Oh yeah…he said to tell you that the debt is still short of $400 and is going up…" She said, "he said he'll be in touch."
"What? Who's that?" Monica asked, looking at him.
Chandler shrugged, confused.
"I have no idea…." He started to say, when suddenly he remembered.
"Don't mind if I count it, do ya?" Hilton grinned again and flicked throw the notes, "your $400 short..."
"What?!" Chandler asked, "there's $890 there... I just drew it out!"
"I know... but your friends debt has gone up..."
"You can't do that!" Chandler insisted.
"I think you find he can..." The guy from behind said, "what you going to do, run to the cops?"
"Look, I haven't got any more money..." Chandler told them, "that will have to do..."
"Well, we have a problem then..." Hilton sighed and clicked his fingers.
Chandler stepped back and tried to shallow the lump of fear that raised in his throat, as he saw the four guy stand and move towards him, along with the guy from before.
"Look, you can't do this..." Chandler pleaded backing up until he hit a wall. He couldn't do nothing except watch as they got closer and closer.
"Chandler? You okay?" Monica asked, moving next to him.
"Yeah, I'm..fine.." He stuttered. It couldn't be them, he told himself, that was over 18 years ago.
"You sure…cos you look like you're going to pass out," Rachel told him.
"I'm fine.." He forced a smile, he couldn't tell them yet, not till he was sure.
"So, who was on the phone then?" Hayley asked him.
"I dunno…" Chandler shook his head, "if its important, they'll call back…"
"Okay," she nodded happily and started to walk out the room. "I'm going to call Ryan."
ooooooo
Chandler was wide awake that night, he couldn't sleep. Wondering who made that phone call earlier, it couldn't be Hilton. He was in jail…but what if he's out now?
He pulled Monica closer to him, he knew that if it was Hilton, not only was his life in danger but also his family's
"Chandler?" Monica said, sleepily, "What's a matter?"
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"No you're not…" She said, sitting up and looking at him, "are you worried about the baby?"
"No, course not!" He told her. She stared at him, telling him that she didn't believe him. "Alright, I'm just a little scared something will go wrong…"
"I am too…" She informed him and then lied back down, putting her head on his chest. "But we don't even know if I am pregnant."
"I know…."
"You are happy about this, aren't you? You do want this?"
"Good." She yawned and the closed her eyes.
He sighed, why did this have to happen? Why now after 18 years? His life was perfect, he had an amazing wife, kids and friends and they were all happy. Daniel had kept his promise and stayed away from drugs. He even did more with the family, he spent more time with his brothers and sisters. He took Amy to the park every Saturday morning. He went out with Matthew and Tom, who were thrilled to have their big brother hang out with them. He even went on triple dates with the twins…well actually, they went on double dates and he followed them with his date, just in case they needed protecting.. They weren't to thrilled about his presences.
Chandler had told him about Joey and all the stuff they use to get up. Dan was surprise how much his father had chance his is days of living with a duck and chick and playing foosball all day.
He thought that they were past all that trouble, he thought he could finally put it behind him. He had just started to and now its coming back. He was so scared, he didn't know what to do. He didn't know if he would be able to protect his family.
ooooooo
"Hello?" Chandler spoke into the phone, all day he had been running to the phone. Not wanting any of the kids picking it up just in case it was Hilton.
"Ah, Mr Bing…nice to talk to you again!"
Chandler closed his eyes as he heard the voice that made all his suspicions true. A voice he never wanted to hear again.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I want you to pay…" Hilton told him, "and not just money this time… I've spent the last 18 years in prison because of you!"
"Listen…" Chandler started but got cut off.
"No, you listen… I will make you pay and that's not a treat, it's a promise."
The line went dead and Chandler slowly lowered the phone back into its cradle.
"Dad? You okay?" Daniel asked.
"Go get pack some stuff…" Chandler told him.
"Why? Where we going?"
"You're staying at Ross'…get some stuff together, tell your sisters and brothers too."
"Dad? What's going on?"
"Daniel! Just do as you're told!" He raised his voice slightly.
"Alright…" He nodded slowly and left the room.
"What was all that about?" Monica walked in from the kitchen.
"Mon, you're staying at Ross' tonight."
"Umm, why?"
"Please don't ask…."
"Chandler?"
"Mon, just trust…" He told her, "please."
"Okay…I will…" She agreed, slowly, "But you're going to tell me what's going on tomorrow!"
"Okay…" He nodded.
oooooooo
"So, what's happened?" Ross asked, Monica that night, after all the kids had gone to bed, "you two had a fight or something?"
"No, we haven't…" She said, confused, "he just asked me to come here and to trust him."
"And that's it?" Rachel frowned.
"Yeah…"
"Wonder if its got anything to do with that phone call, yesterday…" Rachel said.
"Oh my god!"
"What, what is it?" Ross asked, "and what phone call?"
"He's out!"
"Who's out?"
"That dealer…" Monica told them, standing up then started to pace the room. She continued when they looked blankly at her, "remember, he beat Chandler up because he tried to pay Joey's debt but didn't have enough money!"
"No, it couldn't be him…" Rachel stated.
"It's gotta be him…" Monica insisted, "remember he left a message with Hayley saying the debt was still short of $400."
Ross and Rachel looked at each other with worried looks.
"I've gotta get home, they're going to kill him!" Monica grabbed her jacket and headed towards the door.
"What!?" Ross jumped up, "wait, I'm coming with you!"
They both left before Rachel could say or do anything.
"Be carefully!" She shouted after them but only got the front door closing as a response.
"Oh no…" Monica whispered, as they approached the house and saw the front door with the lock broken.
Before they entered Ross pushed his sister behind him, just in case it wasn't safe. They both looked around the hall, stunned at the mess. They walked slowly into the sitting room to see it was destroyed too. The TV set and hi-fi system smashed on the floor, chairs turned over, pieces of glass everywhere.
Monica gasped and cover her mouth with her hand, as she looked around. She let a sob escape as she imagined the worst about where Chandler was. Ross put a reassuring hand on her shoulder…to shocked to talk.
Just as they were about to head to the kitchen to see the damage in there, they saw someone come towards them. They screamed in fear, they were surprised to hear, the figure screaming too.
"Chandler!!" Ross stated, once he realised who it was and then placed his heart on his chest, trying to get his heart beat to decrease.
"Oh my god, Chandler!" Monica cried running towards him.
Chandler held her tight as she sobbed into his chest. He looked at Ross questionable, raising an eyebrow.
"I thought you were dead!" Monica told, stepping out of his arms.
Chandler gave her a small smile and ran his hand through his hair, "I wasn't here when they came…"
"Thank God!" She whispered, hugging him again.
"I'll call the police…" Ross told him, reaching for the phone, that lay on the floor next to a family photo.
He picked up the picture and started at it.
"What is it?" Chandler frowned.
Ross slowly turned the photo around to face them. Monica gasped and Chandler's eyes widen when they saw it.
He slowly reached out to take it with a trembling hand and swallowed the lump that raised in this throat.
It was taken at the park by Rachel a few weeks ago, it was a nice summer afternoon and they decided to all have picnic.
Chandler shook of the reminder of the broken glass and looked down at his family, all smiling face. Daniel had his arm around his mother's shoulder, while Matt and Tom sat side by side, beaming at the camera. Amy was sat on his lap and Becky and Hayley were either side of him, leaning against him but instead of seeing his own face smiling back at him, there was nothing. Expect the back of the frame, exposed by his face being cut out.
"I'll get the police down here!" Ross broke the silence, this time picking up the phone.
"No…" Chandler whispered, he couldn't tear his eyes away from the picture.
"What?"
"It's a message…" He told them.
"Chandler, we can't just let them get away with it!" Ross said.
"If you call the police then its going to make everything so much worse!" Chandler took the phone out of his hands.
"What you talking about!?!" Ross shouted, "look around, this place is a mess….Chandler! They want to kill you!!"
"I know!" He glared at him, "I know they do…. But they're after me!"
"You're not making sense!" Monica frowned, "they'll kill you!"
"You call the police then they'll be after you… you and your family!" Chandler explained calmly, "at the moment, they are after me…no one else."
"So, what? You're just going to let them kill you?!"
"If it stops you and everyone else getting hurt…then, yeah…." He told her, adverting his eyes so he couldn't see her face, "I'm not going to let him kill anyone else I love!"
"What about Kids?" Monica whispered, "you're their father….what about me?"
"Mon…"
"No Chandler, we need you!" She cut him off, "you can't just give up this easily without a fight…."
He looked at her, her eye's begging him. His heart broke to see all the fear and sadness in her eyes. He slowly looked down at the smashed picture still in his hands, all his children…he couldn't leave them.
He looked at Ross, he stared at him with concern and with a bit of anger for trying to give in. He then looked back at Monica, eyes filled with tears, ready to fall and stood with one hand cradling her stomach proactively. They wasn't sure about her pregnancy yet but there was something inside of him, telling him that it was true, they were going to have another baby.
He dropped onto the couch and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm not giving up…" He looked back up at her and smiled slightly, "I'll think of something…"
He heard Ross sigh in relief as Monica flung herself into his arms again, tears spilling down her face.
"I still want you to go to Ross' tonight…" Chandler whispered in her ear.
She looked up at him, "why, what you going to do?"
"I'm not doing nothing?" He smiled reassuringly. "But…I don't think its safe for you to be around me at the moment."
"What?"
"Mon, please… just trust me, yeah?" He squeezed her hand lightly, "I'll come around in the morning to check on you all…and I'll have something sorted by then…"
"I'm not leaving you on your own…" She told him, sat next to him….she unconsciously moved hand immediately to her stomach without noticing. "What if something happens?"
"Nothing's going to happen…." He promised her, "I'll be fine. I'm not going anywhere!"
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't stay?" She asked.
He smiled at her, "okay… 1- its not safe…. 2- the kids needs their mom when they wake up in the morning…3- this place is a mess…"
"I said one!" She scowled at him.
"I could give you one more if you like…" He raised an eyebrow and slowly looked down at where her hand was, she followed his glace.
They smiled at each other.
"Okay, the lovey-dovey stuff I could handle…" Ross commented, reminding them both he was still there. "But…I don't think I wanna know any more about what you're talking about…"
They both stared at him a while before bursting out laughing.
"What?!"
"Nothing… dude…" Chandler told him between laughter, surprised that Ross never worked it out.
"What?!" He demanded again, when his sister and brother-in-law didn't stop laughing.
"Forget it…" Monica told him, controlling herself, "It's not that funny.."
"Then why are you laughing?" He frowned.
"Hormones.." Monica suggested. Ross looked at her for a minute before accepting her answer and shrugging.
Chandler watched them and then burst out laughing, this harder then before, a few tears escaped and rolled down his face.
This is just wanted he need, a good laugh. Ever since Hayley had told him about phone call he had been worried sick and when he came home earlier to see the house in this mess made everything worse…now he couldn't stop laughing but he didn't care, he was feeling better then before.
Monica hit him lightly and when he didn't stop she rolled her eyes sarcastically but she still couldn't help a smile playing on her lips.
"Fine! Laugh…I don't care!!" Ross told him and then dropped into one of the chairs sulkily.
"Alright…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" Chandler said, trying to control his laughter.
"So…" Ross said after a few seconds silence, "what happens now?"
"Monica's going home with you…" Chandler informed him.
"Chandler…" She started to argue.
"No, Mon…please just do this for me…" He asked her.
She looked at him for minute before nodding slowly, "Okay…you're going to be okay…aren't you"
"I promise…" He looked straight in her eyes.
"You sure?"
"When have you ever lied to you before?"
"What about last Christmas when you said you were going to…" Ross started.
"Oh, Ross…" Chandler cut in quickly.
Ross grinned at his friend innocently and while Monica looked at him suspiciously.
"Look, Mon…I'll be fine…" He quickly changed the conversation, "I swear to you, nothing is going to happen!"
"Okay…" She nodded slowly and then leaned in to kiss him.
"Ewww…" Ross moaned and looked away.
"Go on… I bet Rachel is worried sick…" Chandler said, breaking the kiss.
Monica kissed him again before standing up, following Ross out the door.
"I love you…" She stopped at the doorway and looked back at him, still sat on the couch.
"I love you too…" Chandler told her, a few tears pricking in his eyes, "kiss the kids goodnight for me?"
She nodded slowly and then left.
Chandler sat there for what seemed like hours, just staring at the picture of his family, trying to decided what to do. He snapped out of his daze when he saw a tear drop onto the golden frame. He place it down gently on the couch next to him, wiped away the rest of the tears in his eyes then stood up and started to clean everything up.
oooooooooo
"Why we eating here, again?" Adam asked his father for the tenth time.
"Because it's our home!" Ross repeated.
"Oh come on, Dad!" Emma rolled her eyes, "I think the only time we've ever eating here was when Uncle Chandler and Aunty Monica went on holiday…. And was only once, the rest of the time we went out."
"Not my fault your mother can't cook…." He mumbled quietly.
"What?" Rachel looked up from her newspaper.
"Nothing, Honey…" He smiled innocently at her. She watched him a minute before looking back down.
"I want Daddy…" Amy pouted, putting her spoon down.
"He'll be here soon…" Ross told her, "he promised he'd come see you."
"Why can't we go home?" Matt asked, looking over from where he sat watching TV with Daniel, Tom and Becky.
"It's complicated…."
"Where's Mom?"
"She's still in bed…" Rachel told them, "she didn't sleep well last night."
"They're not on a break are they?" Adam asked, looking at his parents, then grinned cheekily, "because I heard that's a bad thing to do…"
Ross' mouth dropped open as he stared at his 14 year old son. Whilst Rachel glared at him.
"We were not on a break!!" She snapped, not taking her eyes off her husband.
"Huh-oh, not this again…" They all turned around and saw Monica standing in the door way.
"Mommy!!!" Amy ran into her arms.
"Who told you about when we were on a break?" Ross asked but then changed his mind when he saw the look his wife was giving him, "Or when we weren't on a break…."
"Uncle Chandler…" Adam said, taking a mouthful of cereal.
"Wait, till I see him…" Ross started, "I'll kill him…"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. He looked over at his sister, guiltily.
"Mon, I'm sorry…I didn't mean to say it like that…" He stuttered.
"What's going on?" Daniel stood up, looking at his Mother.
"Nothing…don't worry about it…" Monica smiled at him, whilst putting Amy down and taking the mug of coffee Rachel handed her.
"Doesn't sound like nothing…" Becky joined, standing behind her brother, while Matt, Tom, Adam and Emma looked on interested. "Has something happened?"
"No nothing, has happened!" Monica assured them.
"It has!" Daniel insisted, "Something happened to Dad, hasn't it?"
"No…"
"What's going on?" Hayley walked in, looking nervously around.
"Something has happened to Dad." Becky told her, nearly in tears.
"Your Dad is fine…" Ross cut in, "we saw him last night…"
"So why are we here then?" Daniel asked, shooting his mother and uncle accusing looks.
"Daniel…" Monica started but before she could finish she heard the front door open and close. They all fell silent and turned to look at the door, a couple of seconds later Chandler appeared.
"Morning.." He said cheerfully.
"Daddy!!" Amy yelled and ran at him.
He swung her up in his arms and held her tightly, he missed his family so much during the night. Before he chance to do anything, both Hayley and Becky were hugging him too.
"Miss me?" He asked them raising an eyebrow.
"They thought something happened…" Tom told him, "They're such Babies!"
Daniel hit him around the head, "You're an idiot!"
"Daniel!" Chandler sighed, Tom was only 9, he didn't really understand what was going on, "don't hit him."
Dan rolled his eyes and fold his arms across his chest. "Something did happen though, didn't it?"
Chandler looked at Monica, silently asking whether they should tell them the truth of not. When he saw her nodding slowly, he put Amy of the floor and rubbed his eyes.
"Right.. Come on…Adam, Ems…" Rachel cleared her throat, knowing that they would want some privacy, "time for school.."
"It's only 7:30!!" Emma informed her.
"Yeah, I wanna know what's going on!" Adam added, causing both his parents to glare at him.
"We'll go and to central Perk first…" Ross said, scrapping Kaydan into her baby carrier.
"Aww…" Adam moaned.
"Adam Chandler Geller, move now!!" Rachel demanded, pointing towards the front door. Chandler winced when she used his middle name. He had tried everything to convince her and Ross not to use his name but they refused to listen.
"Would never have thought it was my home…." He mumbled, shoving his bag on his back and heading out the door.
"Thanks, Guys.." Chandler smiled at them slightly.
"No problem….How about we meet for lunch?" Ross suggested, really wanting to know what was going on.
"Yeah, sure…" He nodded.
"Alright, see you later then…" Rachel said, hurrying Emma out the house. She hugged Chandler as she passed him, she had been really worried about, so had Monica and Ross. She whispered quietly in his ear, "I'm glad you're okay!"
"Thanks, Rach…" He smiled at her, "but don't worry, you can't get rid of me that easily…"
"Damn, knew there was a downside to this…" She said sarcastically as she left.
Chandler laughed slightly then turned to look at his family. Monica was sat at the table waiting patiently, while Tom and Amy were both engrossed in the cartoons, on the TV. Daniel stood, looking at his father curiously, Matt had turned away from the TV, interested in why he wasn't sat at home watching them and both Hayley and Becky stood by him still, looking worried.
"Ermm, why don't you sit down…" He told them.
"When are we going home?" Matt asked, as they took their seats.
"Not yet…" Chandler told him, "you're all going to stay here with Uncle Ross and Aunt Rachel for a while…"
"What?" They all said at the same time.
"I thought you said you'd have it sorted by now?" Monica looked up at him.
"I know, I'm sorry…" He sighed, "I'm trying…"
"Why can't we go home, then?" Daniel enquired.
"We had a break in yesterday…" Chandler explained, they all gasped and when he saw they were going to start talking, he quickly continued, "Don't worry, nothing was taken…a few things damaged but that was only downstairs."
"If it was a break in, why didn't they take anything?"
"I dunno…" Chandler said slowly.
"Dad, what's really going on?!" Dan demanded.
"Daniel calm down…" Monica told him softly.
"I'm going to school!" He said stood up and ended to the door.
"Stop!" Chandler blocked his path, "you're not going anywhere."
"Why not?!"
"Alright, I don't want any of you to freak out…" Chandler started. He's eyes rested on Tom and Amy, deciding it probably best that they didn't know. "Come into the kitchen."
They all followed him, leaving the youngest of the children to watch TV.
"Okay… there is someone after me…" Chandler told them slowly.
"What do you mean, after you?" Becky frowned.
"it's the guy who rung up the other day, isn't it?" Hayley predicted.
"Yes… but he's after me.. Not you lot," Chandler assured them, "That's why you've gotta stay here…""What? So you're on your own?"
"Look, nothing's going to happen to me…I'll be fine."
"So, what now?" Matt asked, "we just stay here 24/7?"
"No, you'll go to school…" Chandler informed him, "I'll drop you off and explain to the teachers…"
"I thought you said he wasn't after us?"
"He's isn't…I just wanna be sure."
There was silence, all of them looking to the floor, deep in thoughts. Chandler saw Hayley brush a tear out of her eyes, he quickly pulled them all into a hug.
"Everything will be fine," He told them, calmly "but I want you all to stick together, don't go anywhere alone…understand?"
They all nodded and stepped out of the hug.
"Right, go get your stuff ready… I'll drop you off first then come back for Amy and Tom…"
They nodded again and left the room quietly.
"Well, that went well…" Monica said once they had gone. He glance at her. "Well, it could have gone worse!"
He sighed, "Do you think I did the right thing in telling them?"
"Course you did…" Monica comforted him, "they knew something was going on."
"Yeah…" He nodded looking at the floor, he then looked up at her, "It's Monday."
"Yeah and??" She asked confused.
"You've got the appointment today…"
"Oh my god…" She gasped, "I forgot about that!"
"What time is it?"
"5:30...are you coming?"
"Try and stopped me!" He grinned at her.
Chandler pulled up outside the High School, that afternoon. He looked around the crowds of kids, trying to push their way through to home, he couldn't see his kids anywhere. Then he spotted Ryan, he jumped out and walked over to him.
oooooooo
"Oh, hey, Mr Bing…" Ryan said shyly when he noticed him.
"Hi…" He smiled slightly at him. Ryan always called him 'Mr Bing' even though he was on first name bases with Monica, Ross, Rachel and even Mike and Phoebe. "You seen my lot around anywhere?"
"Yeah, Rachel came picked them up about 5 minutes ago…"
"You sure?" Chandler wanted to be certain they were safe before he left.
"Yeah, saw her drive off…" Ryan informed him, "oh, and Hayley told me about…ermm…about what's happening…"
Chandler looked at him, waiting for him to continue. "Yeah….??"
"Well…umm, I just wanted to let you know that I'll look out for the twins and Matt… well and Dan but I won't tell him that…he's got this stupid pride thing going on, when he won't let anyone help…."
Chandler smiled, he liked Ryan, he was a good kid. He'd been with Hayley for about 6 months and he became one of the family…even though he was still scared to death of Chandler.
"Thanks…I would really help me out…" Chandler told him.
"No problem…" He flashed him, his biggest smile, "I really care about Hayley and Becky's a good friend…I care about her too…"
"I know you do…" Chandler patted him on the shoulder. "You want a lift home?"
"Umm, yeah sure…that would be great!"
They walked towards the car in silence, once they walked around the corner to where it was parked, Chandler noticed two blokes stood a few meters away from it.
"Umm, Ryan?" Chandler said slowly, "Hayley said you're on the basketball and Baseball teams…"
"Yeah…and the football team…" He smiled proudly.
"Yeah, well be fit is going to come in handy now…" Chandler told him.
"Why?"
"Because, those blokes are walking towards us and I think they want to kill me…" Chandler said calmly, "so I would really advise, you run!!"
Ryan looked at him and then to the guys heading towards them, mouth wide open.
"I said Run!!!" Chandler yelled and grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him away.
After Ryan realised what was happening, he began to sprint beside Chandler, trying to keep up with him the best he could.
Chandler reached into his pocket, searching to find his mobile to call for help but he then realised he left it in the car. He looked around, wondering where they were and why the street was empty. When he looked at Ryan, he found out his wasn't running along side him.
He glance back just to see one of the men, slam into the back of Ryan and tackling down to the floor.
He stopped immediately, running back to help him but 3 more men came out from no where and pounced on him.
He struggled but couldn't get free, he screamed out when one of them kicked him hard in the stomach. As he tried to stuck in oxygen, they bragged him to his feet and pulled him down an ally, with Ryan right behind. They then pushed them both into the back of a waiting van, locking to door once they were in.
Chandler tried to force it open but it didn't work. He slowly looked at Ryan.
"This can't be good…"
Please review and let me know if I should continue
