Eric was in love with you of course he didn’t tell you he just silently pined for you in hopes one day you’d see him as more than your older brother’s friend. Until the day he actually tried he told you he had feelings for you and you told him you had a boyfriend! he was heartbroken to say the least.
The only good part about all of it was you never told your brother or anyone. Eric tried to let it go he really did but when you showed up to the house in your dress ready for the dance with the schools second biggest playboy Danny Fisher he snapped, he didn’t care your brother was right there or even his date! “him? seriously? this is who you chose over me? this prick?”
before you could say anything he pushed Danny, “what the hell?” you stepped in between him and Danny only looking at him, “what is your problem?!” he looked at you like you were crazy, “what is my problem?!” he fixed his suit, “you know damn well what my problem is!”
