#& eric.

“ what’s with the long face sweetheart? not having a good time? “ he moved to pour up some punch. usually he would’ve rather died then go to a stupid dance but he knew they would be there. sometimes he wished he could be the bigger person but what was the fun in that? if he could rub it in their face that he had moved on, he would. even though it was far from the truth. 

“ you’re so fucking delusional. “ nothing had ever been perfect when it came to them. they had passion. but passion flowed into both love and hate. “ i talked to a fucking girl and you fucking key my car? you’re insane! “ voice was loud and harsh as eric spoke. “ you know what? maybe i should’ve fucked her. at least i would’ve gotten something out of it. “ 

deep breath as he lets his body relax into the mattress. reaching for a cigarette, “ so we’re over huh? “ grin wide as he turned to look at the other. he put the cigarette between his lips and lit it. 

“ what’s your plan huh? we can’t fucking say anything. we’re both screwed then. “ he should feel more guilty than he actually did. his asshole best friend didn’t deserve them and everyone knew that. still, eric shouldn’t have kissed them. “ we’ll keep it a secret. “ 

“ fuck. “ he shook his fist, trying to ease the pain that was growing. it wasn’t how he expected his night to go. eric was just doing them a favor, trying to get the creep to fuck off. but one thing led to another. knuckles bruised and a busted lip. “ are you okay? “ focus shifted from the pain over to the other. 

“ what’s the point? “ he had been convinced that it was just a bad dream, a very long one but eventually he would wake up and laugh about it. but nothing changed. everyday he woke up and it was only them there, alone in town. nothing changed within their bubble. “ i don’t know what the fuck is going on... clearly. but i’m over it. “ people were trying to organize, trying to survive whatever they were going through. eric wasn’t sure he wanted to survive. it seemed like hell to stay around, hoping that it would go back to normal.

inches away from the other, desperately wanting to close the distance between the two. “ then prove it. prove it you feel nothing for me. “ it was a dangerous game he was playing, he knew that. eric always acted so heartless and careless but it was hard when he was around the other.
