Halloa, it's Anago-chan. This is definitely one of my stranger works. This is sort of a depressing look at Eric's thoughts. If you ever noticed how he can be pretty serious sometimes... I don't know, I just felt like writing this for some reason. Nah, I don't really think he's this dark and unhappy, but.... well. I don't know. At least it's short. x_x.; Shortest one yet, as a matter of fact. And you may be a little surprised at who the "you" he talks about is. Yeah, I know he's not at all like himself but.. that was sort of the point. So think of it as a different view on him rather than just being out of character. Or something. o_o.;

Hello. I'm Eric Matthews.
But who is that, really? Do you know? Do you really know? Not even my family truly knows me. In fact, I don't know myself. Dumb old Eric, always cheerful and clueless... why can't anyone see that it's only a mask? That I'm too afraid to show who I am.
I wish I had a close friend I could talk to, someone who would take the time to get to know me. Cory's so lucky to have Shawn and Topanga. But what do I have now?
Back in high school, I was always popular. I had friends and girlfriends.... of course, they never stayed with me long... But, well, now I'm just that loser drinking coffee and reading the newspaper by himself in the Student Union. I guess it really is my own fault. If I had tried to make more good friends and devote myself to a real relationship, maybe I wouldn't be alone now.
Maybe if I'd admitted my feelings sooner.
But I couldn't tell you. I shouldn't feel this way. It's wrong, isn't it? Sure, we've lived together for a while now, and I know you like me as a friend. But you don't feel the same way about me as I do about you. I've kept it a secret for too long. Yesterday, when I saw the two of you kissing... it really hurt. Because... somehow I feel like I'm going to be and shut out of your lives. Like I'm being left behind by my only friends, and things will be never be the same again. And that's why I'm alone now.
I don't know where my life is heading. Nothing is going the way I planned. All the feelings I've kept bottled up inside for such a long time are eating away at what's left of me. If I could just share this with someone, it wouldn't be so bad. But you probably wouldn't care. And it wouldn't matter even if you did. I can't tell you now, no matter how much I love you, Jack. You and Rachel make a better couple anyway. I want you both to be happy. So I'll stay out of your way. And you'll never find out what I'm really like.
Hello. I'm Eric Matthews.
And you don't know me.
------------------------------------
Wow... yet another that didn't turn out the way I wanted. Yes, in that fic Eric was in love with Jack, and trying to cover it up by pretending to love Rachel. Hoo boy, I'm deranged. Review if you have the time and feel like it.
