Thanks for all the fantastic reviews! Has anybody played that game "Flappy Birds" ? My high score is 13 and I'm very proud, I'm trying to beat my sister who has 15 but I can't get passed 2 now! No idea how I ever managed 13...

I've killed so many birds in that game I went in a fetal position when I saw that some people's high score is 1 and wondered how many birds they killed.

Thanks for all the amazing reviews and to all that read the past chapters.

Not that this really matters but this chapter is based off The One With Chandler's Dad. There isn't much on that episode so I guess that isn't important.

2001

They were shooting the episode where Courteney wasn't sure she could get through. Not when the two were almost similar and it brought back so many memories with her dad.

He just passed a few hours ago, she wasn't with him, she wasn't there to say her final words to him. He was back in Alabama with the rest of her family and she was here trying to make people laugh.

It wasn't something that she could do right now but it wasn't something she could miss.

She already scheduled a plane ticket back home tomorrow. David was going to be with her and she was going to see her family again.

Her husband was so sweet to her today, hugged her until she stopped crying and said all the right words when they needed to be said. It took her a while to convince him that she was okay to go to work. But as she started walking in, now she wasn't so sure.

As she walked through the doors of Stage 24 she felt the change. It was quieter and there was less movement. Without a thought of why she began to walk back to her dressing room.

When she opened the door to her room she did not expect the whole gang to be sitting on her couch.

"Hey honey." Jen rushed up to hug her friend "David call and told us to take care of you." She informed Courteney

Courteney's tears that she thought was all drained out came rushing back as the rest of the gang formed a big hug around her.

Lisa brushed her hair out of her tears "Courteney if you are this upset maybe you shouldn't be here."

She shook her head "No, I need to be here. Get my mind off it and just be around people I love." She said softly

Matthew looked around "But David's not here..."

Courteney shrugged with a light chuckle.

Matt, with his hands in his pockets finally spoke up "So when is it?" He asked

"Tomorrow." She told them "At five." She took a shaky breath "David and I are flying out tonight."

They all nodded "We'll be there." David announced for all of them

"No, you don't have to. It's all the way across the country and you guys need to be here. For the show."

David Crane walked in "You guys, we are on in twenty." He told them

They all nodded

Courteney watched him go "Excuse me..." She look down, and left the room "David." She called out, causing him to turn around

"Yeah?" Realizing it was Courteney he spoke again "I'm sorry to hear about your father." He said sadly "My father died a while back but if you need anyone to talk to you just come get me, okay?"

She smiled "Thanks."

He gave her a hug

"I actually wanted to know if it was possible...I mean, if it's not too much trouble. Do you think you can put my fathers name in the credits?" She asked "At the end of the show?"

He nodded "Of course, we will put in remembrance of Richard L Cox." He smiled

She gave a sad grin "Thanks again."

"Anything for you." He hugged her one more time before they carried on with the hard filming show before them

Jen was the first to walk in the bright colored and old furnished room. There was soft music of a piano playing in the background as everyone mingled quietly. The flowers and pictures hung ever so delicately with chairs, rowed by 10, going down the room and ending in the back.

That is where they saw their friend for the first time since yesterday sitting in the very last row in the very last chair.

Courteney had a kleenx in her hand and her head buried in her brothers shoulder.

Jen looked back at the rest and saw them all looking over at her.

"Hey guys."

They all turned when they heard David Arquette's voice to the side of them.

"Hey. Hey, how are you guys doing?" They all asked as they took turns greeting him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek from the girls.

David took a heavy sigh as he thought about his wife "Court was really close to her father when she was growing up so she is taking this pretty hard. But we'll get through it, I know."

Matthew nodded "I'm sorry."

"Thanks." He smiled a little, looking around "I think she is around here somewhere..." He paused "Oh," Spotting her in the back corner of the room he led them to her. "Honey." David touched her back gently causing Courteney to turn.

"You guys..."

Everyone saw the dried tears on her cheeks and spoke before she could "The show is wherever you are." Matt said softly

Courteney started to cry again and bit her bottom lip to try and prevent them from falling.

Matthew was the first to react and hugged his best friend.

Courteney buried her head in his shoulder. "Th-Thanks for c-coming.." She tried to say as her voice shook.

Jen was next to hug her friend and pay her condolences to the family.

Although Courteney lost part of her family that night she knew that she had a whole other family that loved her at Stage 24.

So yeah. This chapter was about Courteney's dad dying in 2001. If anyone did not get that from the story then now you know.

I know you guys are probably wondering where all the Matteney is? Don't quit on my now because I got one or two more chapters after this then there will be some :)
