Monica and Chandler walked back to her apartment hand in hand. They both had big smiles on their faces. They were so happy together and the two couldn't wait till they official announced their relationship to their friends. Monica also was going to apologise to Patricia and thank her for telling the gang. Monica opened the door revealing chaos.

Rachel was running in and out of the rooms frantically, Joey was looking every press, Ross was on the phone and Phoebe was taking the cushions of the couch. Chandler coughed causing them all to freeze and turn slowly to face the door.

"Hi Monica and Chandler!" They all – except Joey - said happily and upbeat.

"Patricia is here! She's in the bathroom!" Joey yelled out, pointing to the bathroom. "Don't go in there because she's peeing!"

Monica and Chandler raised their eyebrows as everyone else turned to Joey and glared at him. Monica looked at Ross with a worry expression.

Patricia walked down the quiet street with her hands in her pockets. It was six o'clock but it was dark already. It was also cold due to the November night. She saw the alley way where Caleb and his friends hung out. She bit her lip; she had principles so she must stick to them.

The brunette turned into the alley. The only light came from the glow of a light cigarette that was being passed around. She continued to walk down the alley until she saw people. Patricia saw Caleb talking to a friend of his called Jason. The other people were football players, cheerleaders and a few burnouts that were considered cool.

Caleb smiled when he saw his girlfriend and called her over. He pulled the brunette in for a hard kiss before throwing an arm around her shoulders.

"Want a drag?" Caleb asked, looking down at Patricia who was snuggling up against him.

"No, I'm good." Patricia said quietly. She noticed a few of them stared at her but the brunette didn't care. She wasn't giving into peer pressure.

"Will this is no good." Ross declared, waving his arms. "She's clearly not here. We should call the cops."

"You have to wait twenty four hours before you can file for a missing person." Phoebe told him, sitting down on a chair at the kitchen table.

"We have to look for her." Monica said as Chandler wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Ahh here he comes." Caleb said when he saw a figure coming towards them.

Patricia and he were snuggled up against the wall and the others hung around the small fire that was in front of the fire. Patricia started playing with the gold heart necklace Kendall gave her when she saw Caleb's friend brought beer.

Apparently the beer was for the brunette's birthday celebration. Patricia was hurt, she could not believe Caleb said he didn't drink or do drugs anymore when he clearly did. Patricia wanted no part off this but everyone else was encouraging her and she didn't want to be the odd one.

"Monica's right." Chandler admitted firmly, making eye contact with everyone. "Rachel and Monica you stay here in case Patricia comes back. Joey, Ross and Phoebe we'll search Manhattan."

"Let's do this!" Phoebe said, fist pumping the air.

Monica gave Chandler a kiss before the four got their jackets and left the apartment. They had no idea where to look first. Manhattan is such a big city, there were only four of them, and Patricia was one person. But they wouldn't give up.

Patricia rejected the beer making her get booed by a few people but she also gave a few people the courage to say no too. As it got later Patricia and Caleb were left all alone.

His oceanic eyes had a glimmer of excitement and devilment in them making a shiver run down Patricia's spine. He pressed his lips against hers, moving them against hers softly. Caleb was a very good kisser; well that's what Patricia used to think. He wasn't that great anymore. She has been kissed better.

The football pulled away when he didn't feel her kiss back. He looked into her blue eyes with a soft gaze and gently placed a hand on her cheek. "What's wrong?"

Patricia shook her head and forced a smile. "Nothing, nothing's wrong."

"Ok…" Caleb trailed off. He turned around and grabbed something before handing it to his girlfriend. "Happy Birthday babe!"

"Wow…" The brunette smiled widely as she looked at the present that was in her lap. It was small and square and wrapped beautifully in purple wrapping paper. She opened it and it revealed a small velvet box. Patricia opened the box and gasped again. She took out the sliver chain that had a C on it. "It's…a necklace…with a C on it."

"C for Caleb." He told her before he gently took it off Patricia. "Here I'll help you put it on."

"I'm already wearing a necklace." Patricia said tugging at the necklace a certain blonde boy gave her.

"But this is from me." Caleb protested.

The four friends walked into a McDonalds to get some warmth. The sat down at one of the tables and started talking.

"Well this isn't working." Ross admitted, rubbing his hands together to create friction.

Phoebe nodded in agreement. "Maybe we should split up?"

"Yeah good idea, Pheebs." Ross replied. "I'll go west, Chandler east, Joey north and Phoebe south."

"How come I get east?" Chandler whined, frowning deeply.

"Cause I said so." Ross told him before looking down at his watch. "Everyone had their phones, right?"

"Yup."

"Maybe we should order some coffee to go, y'know to stay warm." Joey suggested when he saw a very pretty girl behind the counter.

Patricia wrapped her arms around Caleb's neck as his tongue licked sloppily and happily at her wet sweet cavern. He pressed his body up against the brunette's so she was pressed up against the wall. The football player placed his hands on her curvy hips.

Chandler shoved his hands into his jacket pocket as he continued walking down the dark street alone. It was as cold as a graveyard, adding an ominous effect to the scenario.

Every time he saw a person coming towards him his heart rate would go up. It was scary walking down the dark streets of New York alone and at night. Chandler scratched the back of his neck, deciding whether or not he should start checking the alley ways.

Patricia's eyes popped open when she felt Caleb's finger tips grace her sides before his hands made their up her top. She slapped his arm.

"Caleb, what the hell?!" Patricia asked pushing his hands of her.

Caleb put his hands down by his side. "Yeah, you're right. We should be doing this topless."

"I don't want to go to second base, yet." The brunette told him, her blue eyes burning through his. In her eyes there were four bases, and the second base was half way to a homerun and she wasn't ready for that.

"That's ok." Caleb admitted gently touching her cheek. "We can just make out."

Chandler stopped outside an alley when he heard a girl's voice and her shrieks.

"Stop leave me alone!" The voice said.

Poor girl, Chandler thought to himself and he had the chance to save her. All he needed was the perfect plan.

"Caleb, stop."

Chandler froze when he heard this and it came so much harder to breed. The little girl who had called him her older brother was down the alley being harassed by her jackass of a boyfriend.

He heard a harsh sound and a cry making run down the dark alley. Chandler saw Caleb trying to touch a certain part of Patricia, who was sitting on the floor, back against the wall and tears rolling down her cheeks. Something caught Chandler's eyes. The brunette's right cheek was bright red.

"Get the fuck away from her!" Chandler growled picking Caleb up by the collar of his shirt. The man punched the teen in the nose making it bleed instantly.

"Ahh, you son of a bitch!" The football player replied, placing his hand to his broken nose before running away.

"Takes one to know one!" He called lamely. Chandler quickly got down on his knees beside Patricia. He wrapped her arms around her. There was a trembling in her shoulders and a sobbing noise coming from her.

Patricia gave a weak sniffle, holding onto Chandler tightly. "I'm sorry to burden you with my stupidity."

"Don't be silly. I'm always here for you, Patricia." James paused. "You mean a lot to me, you know that."

"But if I leave New York I'll miss you guys more than usually. You're my family. You're like my brother Chandler." Patricia admitted. The two were sitting on a picnic, under a tree, in central park.

Chandler scratched the back of his neck, making eye contact with her. "I've never had any siblings."

"Well you have a baby sister now." She replied placing a hand on his knee.

"Yayee!" Chandler cheered wrapping his arms around her and letting the teen snuggle against his chest.

"And if I stay here I'll miss my other family and friends. Plus it's not your job to look after me." Patricia told him softly, tilting her head slightly backwards to look at him.

"If it's any relevance you're easier to mind than Joey."

The teen girl frowned. "Chandler what do I do?"

"I know it's probably not the advice you're looking for but do what your heart says."

Chandler kissed the top of her head and squeezed her gentle again.
