While You Were Sleeping

Part 5

Monica didn't know what to say. She didn't know how to behave. What to even feel at that moment. She couldn't find the words to convey how she felt, to tell them all how much she hated this. How much she wanted to change it all, to go back, to take a tablet in the coffee house rather than go home, to be with them all the way, to know that it wasn't her. It wasn't.

"Miss Geller, you were the first one on the scene?"

Monica nodded, she didn't have the strength to answer.

"Can you describe for me what happened then?"

Monica took a shallow breath and stared down at her knees, "I saw them all lying there. I don't know if they were breathing, they were all so still. I saw Chandler and that's when I started crying, I ran around. I tried to help them but it was too late. Ross woke up when I was with Rachel, I don't think the baby was ... ok ... anymore. He started yelling and then I was here"

"These would be, Mr Chandler Bing, Mrs Rachel Geller-Green and Mr Ross Geller?"

Monica nodded again. "They're dead aren't they?" The time for subtly had passed. Monica needed to know, she needed to know now. She couldn't just sit there and let everything pile up without asking the obvious question. They were her friends, her family, her life. She couldn't just ignore that.

"I'm sorry Miss Geller, it's not my place to – "

"- Please!"

--------------------

The blue eyes pleaded. The eyes that could reflect all emotions in a heartbeat. Love, lust, belonging, contentment.

Hate? Anger? Pain? Torture?

The eyes scared him, unsure of what they had seen before.

-------------------

"Miss, we recovered 4 dead bodies from the scene – "

"- Was it them?"

The officer checked the slip of paper in front of him. "No M'am. I can't reveal the names until the families have been informed, but there is no Bing, Geller, or Geller-Green on this list" He moved away from her.

Monica jumped up after him, "Tribianni! Buffay! What about them?"

"I'm sorry Miss, I've already told you more than I should. You just need to wait here now"

Monica was confused, her interview was over. Why did she need to wait anywhere? She should be told to go to Chandler now, to her love. To be able to see his beautiful blue eyes again and know that she hadn't hurt him, she would know she was sleeping.

"What am I waiting for?"

The officer paused, he hadn't expected that. He assumed she would know the situation, the complications. He refused to turn around and face her, he couldn't see those eyes again, "We're checking alibis Miss. Whoever hasn't got one needs to be detained until they're eliminated"

I wasn't sleeping.

They know.

The others suffered and I towered over them.
