Their story.

Eric Randall Matthews is the oldest son of Alan and Amy Matthews, brother to Cory, Morgan and Joshua. He had always been a popular stud, constantly going out on dates with pretty girls. Although he feigns stupidity most of the times, he is actually quite intelligent and shows little moments of wisdom.

Elizabeth May Young, often referred to as simply Lizzie by her friends, has been by his side ever since kindergarten. They shared a love for chocolate chip cookies that went beyond appreciating the deliciousness of the treat, which others considered somewhat weird. And they stayed friends through middle school all the way to high school.

Eric is an idiot. He never thinks before he speaks and the number one thing on his mind is dating, followed by his ego and his sense of humor that makes up for pretending to lack a pair of brains. His eyes were always wandering off to the pretty girls across the hall, and constantly ended up in heartache. But as his best friend starts changing before his very eyes, he begins to realize that his heart had already been in another person's hands. And she had been right in front of him this entire time.

Elizabeth is one of the smartest girls in her class. It's no surprise, her parents had invested a lot of money in private tutoring. Being the sole daughter and heir to the company had it's responsibilities after all. She had to get into a good college, marry a good guy and one day become the head of the Young Corp. empire. The one constant thing in her life was her best friend, whom she supported throughout all of his dimwitted endeavours, watching from a distance as she kept her own heart under lock and key as he remained oblivious. But when times get tough, will she find the loving arms she had been searching for?

"You are the best thing that's ever been mine."
