Due to the kind reviews I've decided to write the next chappie, hope you like it :)

The Hospital

The corridor was quiet and Ross and Susan had fallen asleep on the chairs. They had been waiting for eight hours, neither of them wanted to leave in case Carol woke up. The doctor came out Carol's room and walked towards Ross and Susan.

"Mr Gellar?"

Ross woke with a start. "What? Where am I?" As Ross looked around he remembered the truth and nodded.

"May I speak with you and Miss Bunch?"

Susan had woken up from her fitful sleep and tried to interpret the doctor's face. "Is everything alright?"

The doctor avoided the question and brought Ross and Susan to a room. The room was bare except for a calendar, a desk and four chairs. He sat on one side and indicated for Susan and Ross to take a seat each.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news."

Ross squeezed Susan's hand and braced himself.

"Miss Willick has passed away."

"NO!" Susan screamed. "You can do that to her! How dare you let her die?"

The doctor anticipated the reaction, as he had had it many times before.

"I'm sorry, there was nothing we could do."

"Liar, liar!" Susan continued, tears streaming down her face.

Ross was still, he felt paralysed by it all. He heard voices but he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could see people but he didn't know what they were doing.

Susan had lost control of herself. "Ross! Aren't you going to say something?"

Ross looked at her. There was nothing he could say that would have helped.

Monica's Apartment

Monica had brought Ben back to their apartment, so he could get some sleep. The rest of the gang, other than Ross, were sitting in the lounge playing cards.

"It's been a while. Do you think everything's alright?" Chandler asked.

"I hope so, remember what Ross was like when he broke up with Carol, imagine him if she died."

"I win!" Phoebe looked triumphantly around the room showing her cards to Monica.

"Pheebs, ten doesn't come after a seven."

"I know, but I felt sorry for it."

The door opened and they looked up. Ross walked in carrying Susan.

"Ross!" Monica jumped up and helped him get the sleeping Susan into the bedroom where Ben was sleeping.

"Is Carol going to be okay?" Joey asked.

Ross came through and sat down, no expression except shock on his face.

"Ross, sweetie, what happened?" Rachel looked at Ross, concerned.

"She died." His voice was quiet and he could barely believe it himself.

"Oh my gosh! Ross are you okay?"

Ross shook his head and broke down. Now, in the comfort of his friends, and after saying it out loud he finally took it all in and cried. He had been quiet the whole time, half out of disbelief and half to look after Susan.

The gang looked around at each other, how could things ever be the same?
