Chapter 1

He never saw it coming.

Chandler was just hanging with the group one night at Central Perk when a handsome guy wearing a black leather jacket walked in. Phoebe instantly jumped up at the sight of him and introduced him as Justin, a Skechers shoe designer she had just started going out with. That was the first time that Chandler met him, he seemed like a nice guy and hey, if Phoebe liked him, why shouldn't he?

Justin made his way down the couch shaking hands and when he got to Chandler's hand he smiled, gripping it a little harder than Chandler was used to. Chandler smiled back and made one of his usual sarcastic comments, "what, do you want to take it with you or something?" Justin laughed kind of strangely and went back over to sit with Phoebe.

Time went on and Phoebe and Justin seemed to be getting pretty close. Everyone was happy for her of course, including Chandler, but something just seemed off about him to Chandler. He shook it off though, Justin seemed like a great guy, even invited him to attend a baseball game with him one weekend. Chandler didn't quite understand why he didn't ask one of his personal friends or even Ross or Joey, but he was grateful for the opportunity and went with it.

Biggest mistake of his life.
