Brendan Salsbury had just began dating Samantha Mundle and her brother Alex doesn’t like that at all. So whenever Alex sees them he tries to ruin the mood between Brendan and Samantha. He never can because Brendan is much bigger, stronger and scarier that Alex is.

Brendan was playing Grand Theft Auto V with Alex, Marcus, AJ, Tommy and Parker. They were playing their favorite Adversary Mode, Sumo III. Marcus and AJ were considered as the best of the group so Tommy had to join them to make it fair for the rest of the guys. Marcus and Parker had been knocked out of the arena, Tommy was being hit out of the arena by Alex and Parker so he started yelling “R.I.P. ‘The Dream’, AJ help!” AJ obviously didn’t want to lose so he it Alex and Parker off of Tommy. They kept playing GTA 5 for about another week.

Parker and Tommy had to study for and take Finals in school. Cole and Max didn’t have the best grades so they didn’t talk to the group much anymore. That left Marcus, AJ, Alex and sometimes Brendan. Brendan wasn’t on much because he was hanging out with Samantha. That left AJ, Marcus and Alex. Marcus calls Alex, Mundle and AJ, Alex. This is because Marcus met  AJ before Alex, three years before actually.

Marcus, Alex, AJ, Josh (Alex’s classmate), Keaton and Curtis. They started to play some Black Ops III late at night for all of them. ALex was already mad because Marcus, Curtis and Keaton were beating him. Then Samantha came in and told Alex that she was she was going to be at Brendan’s house to stay the night there. At that point the Xbox party was SILENT. Then AJ says “Hey Sam, hey Brendan!” to end the awkward silence. The Samantha told Alex to let Brendan play for a bit so she could talk to him.

The conversation lasted about 15 minutes and it wasn’t clear what Samantha had said to Alex. When Alex started to talk on Xbox it was very obvious that whatever his sister told him was not upbeat. He was muttering and talking very choppy. He wanted Josh, Keaton and Curtis to leave the party so he could tell AJ and Marcus what Samantha had said.

AJ asked Alex if he would be completely honest and leave nothing out. Alex said “Yeah”. So Alex started to explain how she was going to stay the night at  Brendan’s for a couple nights because his parents weren’t home. So Alex started to sob and say that his sister doesn’t care about him more than she cares about Brendan. So AJ and Marcus kept trying to cheer him up but it wasn’t too easy when he gets mad at being killed in a game.

Alex decided that he was tired and went to sleep. Right as he left the Xbox chat AJ invited Brendan so that we could hear his side of the story. Brendan had no intention of pulling Samantha away from Alex at all. Samantha said that she thought of it as a vacation. Marcus ended up trying to change the subject by saying “Hey, guys, we should go play some ‘Sumo’ in GTA. You up for that?” AJ said that he was having fun in Call of Duty so they ended up picking up Brendan in The Giant ( Black Ops III zombies map). They made it to round 47 in a really effective strategy. After that they went back to Multiplayer where they didn’t even play.

They just started talking as friends and then close friends. Brendan was getting texts from Alex every 30 seconds about how Alex wants to  settle the dispute like men. So all three of them laughed for about 2 minutes straight. Then they realized that Alex was serious and not just throwing one of his fits. So AJ and Marcus tried their hardest to talk Alex out of it but they just couldn’t.

The fight was supposed to be a week after it was set. So when they did fight Brendan only pushed ALex to the ground while Alex was going all out. The funny thing was that Alex could only reach up to Brendan’s chest because of how much shorter Alex was.

Brendan won the fight. So Alex just stayed with his friends at school. Samantha didn’t like that the two most important boys in her life hated each other. Brendan never wanted to got to her house anymore. She couldn’t stand that at all. She couldn’t get rid of her brother so she had to break up with Brendan.

After story:

Brendan wanted to forget about it so he played video games whenever he could. When he couldn’t play video games he was just listening to music. His GPA dropped from a 3.8 to a 1.3 in the matter of a week. He simply couldn’t stop thinking about Samantha. His parents noticed too late. So all they could do is ground him. Alex wasn’t doing great on keeping his thoughts cheerful. AJ hung out with Brendan while Josh hung out with Alex. So they both would get on Xbox and talk to Marcus about Brendan and Alex. Marcus couldn’t help them much so he gives them logical advice on how to deal with what the others are going through.

AJ, Brendan, Cole  and Tommy went to Colorado to see Marcus during summer break. There, Brendan had found a girl he liked, Vanessa. So then he could stay in Colorado with Marcus. Tommy and Cole  had to go back to California though because their parents didn’t completely trust Marcus because they met him on Xbox.

Brendan completely forgot about Samantha. He had Vanessa to thank for that. She made him happy, that was what AJ and Marcus had tried to do that for him for 3 months. Vanessa is one of the nicest Marcus could introduce Brendan to. Brendan was happy now, that was all that mattered any more.

This is all true except for the after story.
