Good job.

That made me think of my brother's best friend in college. My bro is 8 years older than me, and his friend was 7. The three of us used to hang out when I was in high school (I was 15-16) and they were around (his BF is from our home town). Well, the BFF started asking if I wanted to go places with him alone when my brother wasn't around. My parents didn't think anything of it--he was like a son to them, so they figured he was like sending me off with my brother. We did this a lot for a couple of months and he was fine, never tried anything other than like "guiding" me around with a hand to the back and little stuff like that. Well, then my brother found out and it stopped immediately. He never told me anything until I got older, when he told me that his BF made a couple of "inappropriate" comments about underaged girls around him, so he told him if he ever went near me again without him around or dared put his hands on me ever, he'd fucking kill him (those exact words). We thought he was being the overprotective big brother. Until ten years later... when his BF got arrested for trying to pick up a 14-year-old on the internet that turned out to be an undercover cop. All of us cut ties with him after that. And, for the first time I ever saw in my life, my brother hated being right...
