Upside Down and Inside Out
Okay, new fic from me, no idea where this is going, no idea of plot, just had 1 thought and that inspired me enough so see where my fingers would lead me.
Set in Season 3, Chandler and Janice have just broken up. Episode wise this is set after TOW the Giant Poking Device but before TOW all the Football.

1 day.
1 day was all it took.
Yesterday perfection, today disaster, tomorrow…. He didn't know.
He actually lost her and he couldn't believe it, all those on-off times it never worked but when he decided to give everything, to put aside his fears, to open up to her his life ends up upside down and inside out.
He lay on his bed, battling the emotions running through his brain; emotions that he had spent so long fighting that he didn't know how to deal with them. It may sound overdramatic to your average emotionally stable person but he actually wanted to die just to stop the pain.
Why? He thought, why did he let her choose her ex over him? Actually if he was asking pointless questions then why did he not make it work before she got married and had a child!
It was him, he concluded, it was his fault he was alone, he tried to make it work but…
But what?
Chandler didn't know and for the first time in his life he didn't know anything. He couldn't think, all he could do was try and nurse his broken heart.
Knock, knock.
Chandler sat up. "Yeah". He said softly.
"Hey man, how you doing?" Joey asked concerned.
"Fine." Chandler replied, lying back down and turning away from the door.
"Dude you need to get out of this room! It's been 3 days since you guys broke up." Joey insisted.
3 days? Huh, he thought it was yesterday. Like time was important anymore, neither were holiday's, birthday's etc. He was stuck deep in thought when Joey put his hand on Chandler's shoulder and startled him.
"Chan, did you hear me?"
"No, what Joey?" Chandler harshly replied.
"Get out of the room!" Joey nearly shouted, "come and watch TV with me, eat pizza, cry if you want to but get out of the room!"
"No!" Chandler said defiantly "Leave me alone Joey."
Joey's voice softened, "buddy I'm worried about you, I've never seen you like this before after a break up! And come on, it was Janice, you've broken up with her plenty before." Joey tried to reason with Chandler but that just got Chandler even madder.
"Fuck off Joey; you have NO idea now get OUT!" Chandler practically screamed.
Joey looked hurt as he backed out the door in silence, Chandler sighed, he didn't want to hurt Joey but he didn't have a clue how he was feeling.
No one did and therefore as well as his life turning upside down and inside out he was completely and utterly alone.
He looked at the ceiling in his bedroom, why, WHY, WHY! His brain screamed at him. He suddenly stood up and started to trash his bedroom, he blocked the door with his dresser so Joey couldn't come in and just kept punching furniture until his hands bleed.
He had had enough…
