Couple Who Met At Gig Stun Friends With Break-Up

Family and acquaintances of Jim Scott and Angela Bernard expressed their surprise and sadness today following the news that the pair, who met and consequently began their relationship at a local gig night recently, had announced their split.

According to sources close to the couple, there were minimal signs of the impending fracture, and some even believed that the way in which they had come together in the first place was akin to divine design.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Bernard’s roommate and self-described “bestie”, Renee Peterson. “I legit thought they would be together forever. It was supposed to be like Romeo And Juliet, and it ended up in tragedy instead.”

“I thought they were meant for each other the second they met,” Scott’s younger brother, Oscar, told SPA Confidential. “Like, I was off my face and hugging everything that was moving, and even some things that weren’t, so I’m being pretty literal when I say that I could definitely see love in the air, but I also don’t think it was entirely because of the hallucinogens.”

“There was definitely instant chemistry,” Peterson agreed. “Jim was trying it on with, like, fourteen or so different girls, and you could see that he was essentially playing the same routine with each to see if he’d have any luck, but it honestly felt more genuine when it came to Ange.”

The pair started spending more and more time together last week, becoming “official” three days after they were introduced. However, after the couple went to a local bar for drinks last night, cracks began to appear at the edges of their utopian existence that would ultimately lead to its undoing.

“It didn’t seem like it was big stuff, really – she’s a textbook germophobe, he’s an unbelievable slob… y’know, the sort of petty squabbles every couple navigates. Nothing that we thought would have it all end up like this,” Peterson explained.

“It really makes you think,” she continued. “If even a love built on the solid foundations of mutual inebriation, physical attraction, and a shared love of deep house can’t make it, what hope is there for the rest of us?”
