STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

So, I share an apt. with my brother to save money. It works out great because we are home at opposite hours. I have a 9 to 5, he works nights. Anyway, we have college girls living below us. My brother complains about them all the time, saying their music is too loud, etc. I never hear them.

Well, it turns out one afternoon while I was at work, he went down there and screamed at one of them, saying the music was vibrating the floor. He never, ever can let anything be. Its not like he was sleeping. Anyway, I guess they went to the landlord and told him they are moving out because they are afraid of my brother. The girl said he was so loud and mean that she thought he might hit her. Granted, he would not have hit her. He's a big pussy, but I guess if you don't know him, he might seem scary. He is over 6 ft. tall. Maybe since he grew up with sisters that were never intimidated by him, he doesn't realize he can't talk to young girls this way.

My landlord is livid. I can't afford to move right now if my landlord kicks us out. We are on a month by month lease. I seriously doubt we will get our deposit back if we are kicked out. I would apologize to the girls, but they have been stand-offish since the day they moved in. I had no idea this was going on, so I was a little baffled as to why I was getting the cold shoulder from my landlord. He is here all the time and is very jovial. I want to tell my landlord that I was unaware and that I am mortified, but I'm afraid to broach the subject.

At the same time, I feel like I might be punished because my brother is an uptight asshole, so I kind of want to move out anyway. I am a very laid back person and things like a little noise from the neighbors would never upset me. I am capable of blocking things out. He also doesn't seem to realize that what he did was all that wrong. He's like "Whatever. I'm tired of their music." I'm sorry to go on and on, I just needed to vent.
