Brother faked going on holiday and spent a whole week on our street

I’m convinced he was hiding out from his girlfriend.<br><br>TL:DR: my brother went on some wild goose chase on our street, instead of going on vacation. <br><br>This weird thing just happened and i don’t know what to make of it.<br><br>Me and my little sisters were going on vacation last week. and so was my brother. We had a new driver in town (we live in a small town) that gave us rides and he also drove my bro. I’m not sure where he originally wanted to go but on the journey he asked the driver how long he’ll be driving for in a day and he said around 6-8 hours on average. He then asked the driver if it was possible to drive for 8 hours a day and stop by the same house we live in, and drive for a bit the next day after resting. The driver agreed to this. The next day, when my bro went to get back in the car, the driver told him that the girl he’d be driving to is a day early so my bro has to get back home.<br><br>Instead of just going home, he asked the driver to drop him off on the nearest corner on our street. Like wtf? He had no luggage with him except for a small school bag. He didn’t even take his laptop. This makes me think that he never even planned on going anywhere.<br><br>The driver dropped him off at the corner of our street at 5 am, when there was no one around. My bro called me and I was so confused at first because he said he was on our street but he was supposed to be on vacation. He explained the situation to me and made me promise not to tell his girlfriend so she’d think he’s away. I was so confused at this point, I was like what the hell is going on? what is this man hiding?<br><br>I promise him i wouldn’t tell but he had to tell me, because now I’m burning up with curiosity. He says he was scared his gf might come over at our house while he was supposed to be on vacation and it’d be hard to explain.<br><br>This is when shits starts to get weird. He gives me a location on our street where he’ll be and asks me to bring him food. I bring him the food and ask him to come home and eat it but he refuses. He asks me to open the gate and leave his stuff near the bush. I was so annoyed but I left the food there and went back home. <br><br>The next day he asks me to bring him food again and this time I bring my sister along. I leave the food and my sister pulls me back and says she saw him. She says she saw him behind the wall of someones house. I was furious, this man is literally camping on our street. So I get back in the car and just blast the music and honk. And to my surprise he comes out and I scold him and ask him what the hell he’s even doing. <br><br>I was so mad, but at the same time I couldn’t stop laughing. Like what. the. actual. fuck. is this. Is he hiding from his girlfriend? is he running away? Why is he camping on our street? He was staying right in front of our house. I don’t know what to make of this, my family is still talking about it.<br><br>He’s been acting so weird recently. He’s been running away from responsibilities. He’s not doing anything at his job. He ran away with all the money my grandpa gave him. Like I get it, he’s a 30 year old man doing childish stuff but running away with money? I’m so done with this man.
