In a bone-chilling story emerging from your hometown diner, you just realized your younger brother is not just your younger brother anymore but also someone’s best friend’s annoying boyfriend.
Sources confirm you first had this realization upon walking into the diner and seeing your brother – Tyler – and his girlfriend – Mattea – getting lunch with Mattea’s best friend, Rachel.
“I could just see in Rachel’s eyes that she found my brother’s presence so goddamn annoying, and I couldn’t blame her,” you told reporters gathered at the scene, where you were spying on the encounter from several booths away. “I mean, yeah, he’s my brother, but he’s her best friend’s boyfriend. That’s disgusting!”
Upon realizing your brother was just some annoying guy to Rachel, you had to stop yourself from implicitly siding with her.
“It’s so frustrating when you make plans with a friend and your friend’s boyfriend just tags along uninvited,” you continued. “My god, I have full body chills.”
Sources confirm Tyler noticed you sitting a couple of booths away and waved to you warmly, but you averted your eyes in embarrassment.
“I can’t believe my brother is just some guy that came to lunch!” you continued. “I hate those guys! Do I hate him? I can’t hate him for this, right?”
Reporters figured that was up to you to decide.
When Rachel was approached for comment, she – expectedly – didn’t have a ton to say about your brother.
“Tyler? Uh, I guess he’s fine,” she told reporters, barely hiding an eye roll. “I don’t mind him, he’s just annoying. Like, he’s always hopping onto our plans, and I can’t say no because he’s dating Mattea. So, I would describe him mostly as a burden.”
Upon hearing this, you shriveled up into your skin, something reporters had never seen before.
“I am mortified,” you continued. “Here was this perfect little angel younger brother whom I loved so dearly, and now he’s fallen so far. What’s next? Is he going to be someone’s best friend’s toxic ex? Will the horrors never cease?”
Reporters informed you that yes, your brother is already someone’s best friend’s toxic ex, and there’s a group chat dedicated to tearing him to shreds for that girl’s sake.
“Well, I’m glad they’re doing that for her,” you said, sighing. “This is just a lot to take in. I never wanted to see my brother like this. I can’t help but feel like I should have done something to prevent it.”
As of press time, you were just counting your lucky stars that your brother is not currently someone’s avoidant situationship, but the likelihood of this happening in the next six months is approximately 100%.
