Six Months Together, Then She Said I Was Just Her Brother

Synopsis

On Christmas Eve, my friend Ryan Wynn and I went to a gaming lounge, planning to stay up all night playing. But we ran into Ryan's sister, Lauren. She was holding hands with her boyfriend, kissing under the fireworks. "Finally, Lauren got the guy she's been crushing on. Took her long enough," Ryan said. He pulled me over to say hi to them, practically buzzing with excitement. Lauren awkwardly scratched her nose and introduced us. "This is my brother, Ryan. And this is his friend, Jason Carter. I guess you could say he's my friend too." Friend? Lauren and I had been dating for six months, and she just called me her friend.
