Hey, I'm Angel. Angel Mell. I live with the most obnoxious person you could ever imagine. He plays video games all the time, and he barely ever washes his dumb sweater, so I have to do it. I even share a birthday with the kid. His name? Michael Mell... my twin brother. But he's probably my only real best friend. I mean, besides Christine, who I've known for a really long time. Michael usually tells me stuff he can't, or won't, tell our parents. Like when he finally figured out that he was gay, he told me. I support him all the way! Or when Jeremy called him a loser at the Halloween party and then he had a panic attack in the bathroom there. I couldn't hurt Jeremy, he wouldn't let me, but I hugged my bro and told him it would all be okay. And when we were a bit younger than we are now, he told me he had a crush on Jeremy. His best friend and long time crush. But, Jeremy's dating my best friend. Yep, he's dating Christine... and he doesn't know what he's doing to Michael...
Well, that's introductions out of the way!

"Yeah, Christine loves doing plays, like, almost more than she loves you," I said to Jeremy, poking his shoulder. Michael kicked my leg under the table and I looked up at him. He was putting his headphones on, and once he did that, he pulled out his phone and started scrolling through music playlists.
"Angel, that's... not funny!" Christine said through laughter.
"It seems to be hilarious," Jeremy smiled at his girlfriend and Michael looked like he was gonna cry. Does he even have music playing? I excused Michael and myself, and we both stood up and walked out of earshot.
"Michael, what's wrong?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"Seeing him happy makes me happy, but seeing him with her and happy with her makes me feel sick and like I want to die..." He sighed. I scanned his expression and he had teary eyes. I watched as he moved his arm up to pick at the pride patch on his sweater. He did that when he was nervous or sad.
"Listen, bro..." I started. "I kinda know how you feel. But you need to know that Jeremy would never choose her over you. You've known him for twelve years. It's not like he's just gonna forget that you exist," And, boy, was I wrong.

I went to Jeremy's to hang out with him, Christine and Michael, but what I saw made my heart snap, and Michael's too, by the looks of it. After we were done hanging out, Jeremy and Christine offered to walk Michael and me home because they were going to the park. We took the offer, and when we got to our house, Jeremy and Christine didn't even say goodbye before leaving. Michael walked inside, slamming the door behind him. I was left outside, but I had an idea. I took out my phone and started a live stream on YouTube, knowing that Michael would get the notification. It was titled, 'Helping my Bro'.

"I'm going to go see my best friend and my brother's best friend at the park... and I have a lot to say to both of them," And I started to run to the park, ignoring the live comments Michael was leaving.
