This fanfic has nothing to do with my first one. I hope you enjoy this one as much as
you did by my first fanfic. In this fanfic Monica and Chandler aren't together. That's al
you need to know for now. I'm a huge fan of C&M, I think you already discovered that
in my first fanfic.

(Monica rushes to the door and opens the door of the guys, she sees Chandler lying on the floor, he's not moving)
Monica: Chandler!!! Chandler!!! Wake up sweety!! Come on!!
(Chandler is not waking up, she picks up the phone and calls the hospital, while she's calling she's holding Chander's head in her lap)
Monica: Yes that's the right address, please hurry up, because he's not moving
(A few minutes later the ambulance arrives and the doctors try to wake Chandler up, it's working but they decide to take him to the hospital anyway, before they take him downstairs they let Monica talk to him for a second, she stands next to Chandler and grabs his hand)
Chandler: Where... am... I?
Monica: Thank god you woke up, I don't know what I do without you
Chandler: Why...is...that
Monica: I can't lose my best friend...
(The doctors then interrupt them, because they want to take Chandler to the hospital)
Doctor: Could you take a step aside because we have to take him with us now
Monica: oke. Can I go with him?
Doctor: Yeah that's oke
Monica: Thank you
(The ambulance with Chandler and Monica rides to the hospital. Chandler is being brought to a room where he can rest)
Doctor: Well mr. Bing you're a lucky man. If you took a few more pills, you would be dead.
Chandler: I know, I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't say a word about this to my friends, because I'm really ashamed about what I did.
Doctor: I'll do my best, you have to rest now because you also have a fever.
Chandler: Oke thanks
(The doctor walks out of the room and in to the waiting room, he starts talking to Monica)
Doctor: He's going to be fine
Monica: Thank god, I was so worried
Doctor: He will be released in a couple of days, but I need to be sure someone is taking care of him, because he need to be watched.
Monica: Why is that, he only is exhausted is he? Why does he need to be watched?
Doctor: Well... I can't talk here let's go to my office
(They walk to his office and Monica sits down on a chair)
Doctor: Chandler said that he didn't want any of you guys to know, but someone has to know to take care of him. Would you do that?
Monica: Ofcourse, I'm one of his closest friends
Doctor: Good, Chandler took an overdoses of sleeping pills, a few more combined with his fever and he would be dead
Monica: Oh my god, I didn't know that
Doctor: We had to empty his stomach because of the pills. Patients that I have with the same problem are bound to this again because there addicted to that pill. So that's why I want to be sure that someone is taking care of him.
Monica: I understand
Doctor: The best thing for you to do is that don't say to him that you know what he did.
Monica: That's fine
Doctor: Oke I've got to see an other patient now, butt if you have questions you can always call me, take care, bye
Monica: bye

Chandler: Whow I have to go to the bathroom, I better gonna use ours
(Chandler gets up and leaves the blanket on the couch, he walks to his apartment and in the bathroom. 5 minutes later he walks out)
Chandler: Ah that feels good.
(Chandler walks to his bedroom and to his drawer where he grabs the sleeping pills out, in the mean time Monica got back from the laundry and sees Chandler is not on the couch anymore and Rachel is gone, she heads to the guys apartment and opens the door softly, because she thinks Chandler is a sleep there. She walks in and still doesn't see Chandler. She then walks slowly to the bathroom and spots Chandler in his bedroom, she sees him standing there and swallowing some of the sleeping pills)
Monica: Chandler!!! Chandler spit it out now!!!!
(Monica scares the crap out of him and Chandler drops the pills on the ground but swallows the others)
Monica: Chandler! What do you think you're doing!
Chandler: I'm just taking a pill to sleep better
Monica: Let me see these pills now
Chandler: No! It are just normal pills
Monica: I don't think so. Give it to me
(He does so and stares at the ground)
Monica: Chander you took the sleeping pills again
Chandler: Again? What do you mean by that
Monica: Look Chandler. The doctor told me everything, about your overdoses and not wanting to tell
Chandler: I see. Look I'm sorry but I need those pills
Monica: You don't need them, these pills almost killed you
Chandler: Yeah whatever
Monica: Whatever!? Do you wanna get killed
Chandler: What difference does it make
Monica: I don't wanna loose my best friend, Chandler. You know how much I care about you
(Chandler sits down on the recliner and starts to cry softly, Monica kneels down in front of him)
Monica: Don't cry Chandler. You made a mistake, people make lot's of mistakes
Chandler: Yeah well I made the worst one ever
Monica: We can fix this together
Chandler: Monica, I really wanna do that, but could you not tell the others. Yet
Monica: That's fine for now, you tell it when your ready
