Monica shut the door and sat on the couch in her apartment. She stared at the gaping door that showed Rachel's now empty room. She was so sad to see her friend move out. They had had shared some amazing times as roommates and although she would still see her best friend every day, she missed her roommate a great deal. She had prepared for this though, because obviously her and Chris were going to live together after they were married, and she was so happy that her and her brother had finally worked things out, but she felt very sad and alone. When would she find love like Ross and Rachel had?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gang all sat at Central Perk, talking about the usual things. Monica Chandler and Phoebe were sitting on the big orange couch, Rachel and Ross sat together in one of the chairs, and Joey was at the counter getting them some coffee.
"I can't believe you guys are finally back together, this is so great!" Phoebe said.
"I know, I always hoped you guys would work things out..and after that whole break and everything I thought that would never happen!" Joey said, handing Rachel her coffee and receiving looks from both her and Ross.
"Yeah, well we managed to work everything out.." Ross said, lightly kissing his girlfriend on the lips.
"So, Joe, how are things goin' with that new girlfriend of yous?" Monica asked, changing the subject.
"Oh man, she is so hott.." Joey said.
"Oh, I started dating this really cute guy yesterday!" Phoebe said excitedly.
"Where'd you meet him?" Rachel asked.
"Actually, I met him here about a week ago and he asked me out, and we've been so busy we didn't get to go out until last night. He's so smart and funny.." As Phoebe went on about the new guy in her life, Monica felt herself feeling even more lonely. Almost everyone she knew was happy, and had someone in their life. Well, except for Chandler, but Chandler almost never has anyone. She wanted someone to love her..her last serious relationship was Richard, and she felt like she'd never find anyone else.

Chris stared into Central Perk at the six people sitting around the coffee table. He saw Rachel, his Rachel, kissing her new boyfriend. He had never been more depressed in his entire life, except maybe when he caught his ex-wife cheating on him. He felt that urge again, that urge to make Rachel and her new boyfriend pay for making him feel like this. He pulled out the heavy object he had stuffed in his pocket, a pistol. Although he felt dizzy, and his vision was blurred from all the vodka, he shot at them, and didn't care who else he hit in the process. He heard screams, and saw the chaos of everyone trying to get away, and the last thing he remembered was running out of bullets, and then blackness. He passed out.

She had been pacing around the hospital waiting room all morning. She hadn't even been home since the incident. She wasn't sure where the others were, and at the moment she really didn't care. The numbness took over her body, she didnt't feel at all. She couldn't laugh, couldn't cry, just felt devoid of any emotion. She barely heard Chandler come up and sit down next to her.
"Hey, Mon."
"Hey" she said faintly.
"I can't believe this is hapenning."
"I know. Where is everyone else?"
"Rachel was a wrek, I don't thing she's stopped crying once. Joey took her back to the apartment to try and get her to calm down. I think being here just waiting was too much for her."
"Oh. Chandler, I can't believe this is hapenning, my brother and one of my best friends are in there. What if-what if they don't make it?" She said, and for the first time since all of this, she let the nimbness subside, and she allowed herself to cry.
"Shh, it'll all be okay. The docters say Ross and Phoebe are doing great for what hapenned to them. I'm sure everything will work out."
He said, hugging her close. Monica looked up into his blue eyes. Something about him gave her comfort, and she forgot just for a seocnd all the problems going on in her life, and for some reason, she didn't feel so lonely. She leaned in wihtout even thinking about it and the next thing she knew, she was kissing Chandler. It was a desperate, needy kiss, that they both needed so badly. They needed to forget everything going on around them, they needed eachother, needed comfort. They finally broke the kiss, with both of them wanting more. Without so much as a word, they both stood up and ran into an empty hospital room and made love. It helped them to feel okay, helped them to forget everything that was going on. It was simply their way of dealing with everything and forgetting for just a few minutes all the pain swirling around them.
