I am bored, so I decided, "hm.. I'm just going to write a new chapter!" so here I am, with Chapter number 9! :)
Rachel and Monica was finally able to drag Ross away from Charlie, then they went in search of Chandler. Their friend needed them! They decided to walk straight from the cabin, until they came across woods or a small forest whatever people wanted to call it.
Monica took the lead. She didn't know why, but she felt as if she was running out of time to find him. She didn't tell the others that, afraid they probably felt the same way. Then she spotted a dirt road and hurried towards it. "Guys, look!" She called. Her stomach was starting to hurt with nerves, afraid of what they were about to stumble on. She waited to the others were near her before she decided to follow the road to see where it would lead.
Callie had woken up, still feeling a bit exhausted. Joey was still asleep, and Phoebe was pacing around the room. "Pheebs?" She whispered softly. "Have you heard anything from the others yet?"
Phoebe miserably shook her head. "Not yet," she glanced at her watch. "I really hope they find him soon. I'm starting to feel as if something is wrong. And I hate this feeling," she whispered back. She walked back over to her chair and plopped down in it. "Alright, we need to stay calm so he doesn't suspect something's wrong."
Callie sighed. "Don't you think he already suspects we are hiding something?" She took a few calming breaths.
Phoebe shook her head. "No, Callie. Because its Joey." She said softly.
Monica saw someone just ahead of them who looked to be disoriented. He was walking in circles and mumbling something to himself. She noticed that he had a big gash on his forehead and his clothes were dirty and ragged, then she gasped when she realized who it was. "Guys!" She called. "Over here!" She ran towards him. "Chandler!" She called out.
Ross and Rachel had both hurried after her.
She paused, then grabbed his arm to stop him from moving. "Chandler, its me. Are you okay?" She asked, trying to get him out of his dazed state. "Come on, talk to me!" She pleaded.
He just kept mumbling words that were inaudible to her.
"Chandler?" She tried again, then glanced over at Ross and Rachel who was standing there in silence. "Snap out of it!" She grabbed his shoulders then shook him. "Guys, we should get him back to the hospital. There's no way he will survive much longer if we don't."
Joey slowly flicked open his eyes and glanced around the room. Callie and Phoebe had moved away from him so that they could talk, he figured they were probably just talking over there so they wouldn't disturb him. "Callie, Pheebs?"
They both glanced at him, then walked back towards the bed and sat back down in the chairs they were in before. "How long have you been awake?" Callie asked softly.
He just shrug. "Not too long. I actually just have woke up." He glanced around the room. "Guys, where's Chandler at? I thought he always came in to visit me?"
Callie and Phoebe glanced at each other. "Uhm.. right, he was here a little bit ago," Phoebe said. "But when he saw that you were sleeping, he said that he would come back later and mentioned something about taking a walk."
He slowly nodded, accepting that answer, and drifted back to sleep.
Monica had got him calmed down enough, then slipped his arm around her shoulder, while Ross did the same thing on the other side, while Rachel walked in front of them, moving things that he could easily trip over.
It took them a while to make it back to the hospital, and when they finally got back, he was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open.
"Don't go to sleep yet," Monica warned him. "You may have a concussion or something like that."
Callie watched him sleep, then sighed. "That was close. Nice lie, Pheebs." She twined her fingers with his, then brought his hand up to her lips and kissed it. "But I still think he may suspect something."
Phoebe sighed. "But that should buy us a little time to figure out how we should tell him.. or if we should." She had started to say something else, when the door opened, and Rachel walked in.
They both stood up, and hurried towards her. "Rach, did you find him?"
Rachel nodded. "We did. He was disoriented when we found him, so I really hope he'll be okay. Ross and Monica went into the room with him, so maybe they can tell us more when they come in here."
The doctor put an oxygen mask on Chandler, then hooked him up to a machine. He turned to look at Monica and Ross. "You two shouldn't be in here long, but I'll let you stay a little bit," he said, then walked out of the room.
Monica sat in the chair beside the bed, listening to the beeping of the heart monitor, which was the only way she had to know that he was still alive. She lightly touched the bandage around his head. "I just wish I knew what had happened to you," she sighed softly. She took his hand in hers, then lightly squeezed it. "I love you, Chandler, so much." She reached up and kissed his head. "If you were okay after getting shot, I know you'll be okay after this too." She whispered softly. She climbed into the bed beside him, then laid her head down on his chest. "You have to wake up so that I can actually tell you how I feel about you."
Ross watched them and smiled, before quietly walking out of the room and closing the door behind him.
I just thought that the end of the this chapter was so sweet so I had to include it in here. I was asked to add more romance into this story, and I thought that was a good idea, since I love romance and drama, they make a story grow. And remember, stories feed on reviews.. just something to remember. :)
Anyways, follow, favorite, comment, or all three! Toodles now!
Tall, Out!
