Brotherly Love......Triangle

So I could't think of anything for my blog, so I decided to just copy and paste my side of the story from my Researched Memoir project. It's kind of lengthy, but worth reading, so here it is:

It was the summer before my senior year and I had just returned from Germany. I had met this girl, Skankasaurus Rex, at my cousin’s birthday party. She was cute, but we didn’t really talk much. Later that week, I found out that my brother made out with her at a party. It didn’t really phase me much because I barely knew her, and he didn’t really talk to her much after that. Me and this girl worked at the same pool together that summer so we got to get to know each other pretty well and eventually started to hit it off, or so I thought. I talked to my brother about it, and he said that he honestly didn’t care whether I went for her or not, so I did. Eventually, I took her out on a few dates, the movies, some breakfasts at Waffle House, and I thought that I was doing work. All was going pretty well so far.Now this summer happen to be the same summer that my Dad coached an all-star team to the Little League World Series, so me and my brother had the house to ourselves a lot. One night, while me and Skankasaurus Rex were at work, my brother texted me and said that he had two handles and five cases for tonight. So I talked to Skankasaurus Rex and she agreed to come to the party with me. I thought that that night was going to be a very successful night if you catch my drift. So I get home, change and get ready for the party and start drinking. I’m not going lie, I got hammered, and acted like a complete idiot, hence accidentally spitting on my brothers friend who should have beat my ass for it. Skankasaurus Rex also was pretty drunk, or so I thought. I thought that we were hitting it off pretty well and it was possibly going to lead somewhere. She was also texting someone the entire time who she told me was her Courtney, who I met, so I drunkenly believed her. My brother and my friend Paul also got pretty drunk as well. Eventually my brother, his friend Kelly, Skankasaurus Rex and I went upstairs to drunkenly look at our sister’s hamster. While up there, I decided to go and get some bread for my drunk ass from downstairs. So I ran downstairs, got some bread, and went to go back upstairs to meet Skankasaurus Rex. On the way back I passed Kelly walking awkwardly back down the stairs, but didn’t think anything of it. As I proceeded up the stairs, I heard something strange, and as I jumped to the top of the stairs I look to my left just in time to see my brother and Skankasaurus Rex split apart from a make out session. My brother said something to me but I was so confused and angry and sad at the same time that I immediately disregarded it. Skankasaurus Rex ran downstairs and I proceeded into my parents room. I’m not going to lie, I was crushed. Our friend Paul came upstairs to try and comfort me and I spilled my guts and anger to him while drunkenly crying. Paul went downstairs for a minute and yelled at my brother because apparently he was laughing about it down there. When He came back up, I continued to spill my guts and then slapped, not punched, but slapped a hole in my parents wall.Now for some reason, and God only knows why, I was not mad at Skankasaurus Rex. In fact, I even texted her telling her I wasn’t mad. The next day, I didn’t say a word to my brother. I went to work and Skankasaurus Rex was there too. Eventually we started to talk about it and cleared things up. She said that she was sorry and the honestly “didn’t know” that I was into her. Again, for some God forsaken reason, I believed her still. Sometime after that, Paul came over and Will and I decided to drink and fix the hole in our parents’ wall. Things were uneasy between us because I had not forgiven him, and I wasn’t planning on it. About a month passed, tensions decreased, and it was my birthday, and there was a party at Rob’s house. I got pleasantly tipsy and eventually me and Paul started talking about the whole story. He asked me “Charlie, are you still really only mad at Will and not Skankasaurus Rex?” I replied yes and he sighed and brought me out back to have yet another heart to heart. He then told me that at the party, Skankasaurus Rex was switching drinks with people so that she wasn’t drunk. He then also asked me who she told me she was texting at the party. I said that it was her friend Courtney and he told me she was lying. Paul proceeded to tell me that Skankasaurus Rex was actually texting my brother telling him how she wasn’t into me like I was her and that she wanted to hook up with him that night instead. I was so angry yet relieved at that moment that I didn’t know what to think. All I knew was that that girl was an evil conniving Skankasaurus Rex and a half. About two days later, my brother came into my room and gave me an honest apology, and I told him what Paul told me, and accepted it.

Honestly it really sucked, but if you know me and my brother well, it's a pretty of a funny story.
