Nine Lives

Life Two

Gasping for air, Charlie Max shot up coughing violently as she looked around where she was at. Last thing she remembered was jumping into the water then blackness.

"Wow calm down your okay!" Two hands were placed on her shoulders making her lay back down. Charlie blinked a few times to focus on what was around her for a bit until she calmed down. She seemed to be in a living room of some sort and the two hands belonged to a woman with shoulder length brown hair.

"What..what happened?" Charlie asked looking at the woman in front of her.

"I found you in the hall way unconscious with a friend of mine. He helped me carry you into my apartment. Do you remember what happened to you?" The woman asked.

"The last thing I remembered was jumping into the water" Charlie mumbled looking around again. The room seemed to be a purplish blue color and slightly cluttered but clean.

"Jumping into water? Hm I dont know where you could do that around here maybe we should take you to the hospital" The woman stood up.

"What's your name? Where are we?" Charlie asked sitting up. She was very confused. How did she land herself here? Did it have something to do with what that man said to her on the street before she jumped? She shook her head, no he was crazy. Maybe she was dreaming?

"Oh right I'm Monica Geller and we're in New York" She smiled "I really think we should take you to get checked out."

"No I'm okay really" Charlie said quickly as she stood up. "My name is Charlie. Thank you for taking care of me while I was out" she smiled weakly then her eyes widened. "Did you say Geller?" Charlie blinked.

"Yeah why?" Monica looked at her confused.

Charlie looked around the room again and her breathing got shallow. She had to be dreaming or dead. There was no way she could be in her favorite TV sitcom Friends. Yeah that was definitely what was happening, she was in Hell and Satan has a sick sense of humor to torture her with her favorite shows.

"I gotta get out of here." Charlie rushed towards the door, throwing it open and running into someone. "Oof"

"Wow wheres the fire?" A male chuckled as he steadied the both of them. Charlie looked up to see Chandler Bing in front of her.

"No no no I'm dreaming this isn't happening" Charlie shook her head before running past him and down the stairs.

Charlie could hear running feet behind her that more then likely belonged to Chandler and Monica. The pair were worried about the new comer who seemed frazzled by the sight of them and wanted to make sure she would be okay. Charlie rushed out of the apartment building doors and onto the busy sidewalk of Manhattan looking around scared and confused.

"Charlie! Charlie!" Charlie looked back to see Monica and Chandler calling her name. She ran forward away from the two of them. She glanced back for a moment.

The sound of tires squealing echoed the air along with a few car horns. Monica gasped covering her mouth as the two friends watched the strange ginger get hit by a yellow taxi.
