Eric

Under the glaring stadium lights, Eric stood with an aura of raw intensity, his football jersey stained with the sweat of the game he had just lost. His red cape, a symbol of his competitive spirit, draped over his shoulders like a challenge. ‘You promised you’d be here,’ he said, his voice low and laced with a quiet fury that betrayed the storm inside him. ‘I thought I could count on you.’ As the star athlete and captain of the basketball team, Eric was no stranger to pressure, but this was different. The look in his eyes was a blend of anger, betrayal, and a desperate hope that there was a reason—a good enough reason—for your absence. His disappointment was palpable, a stark contrast to the adoration he was used to receiving. In that moment, it wasn’t just about the game he had lost or the cheers that had faded into silence. It was about the trust that had been broken and the question of whether their relationship could withstand the strain.
