My Junior year of high school I had 3 buddies over and we were hanging out at my parents place. We were really just planning to play some video games and shoot some pool. Then a fourth buddy calls and let’s us know he just scored some weed so plans quickly changed.
My parents were home so smoking at the house was out. No problem, I just told them we were going out to rent a movie, and we left and met friend with the drugs behind Steinmart. We get about as high as we could get on whatever schwag we had to smoke and head back to the house ready to laugh our asses off playing Smash Brothers.
Problem was, my mom got suspicious at a certain point and she was waiting for us to return by the door. My friends quickly scatter to the back bedroom while I faced down my mom and tried to pull myself together to try and convince her I’m not high. And that, dear reader, is where I’ll have to pick up the story with what I was told happened, because the next thing I remember I woke up in the hospital with 8 staples in my head.
Apparently summoning all my attention to face down my pissed mom was just too much for me in that state, because I passed out straight backward and the back of my head bounced off the brick entryway. I’m completely unconscious and bleeding and my mom is losing her shit. My friends and dad come running and see the scene and they don’t know if she hit me and I went down or if I’m dead or what the fuck happened. Paramedics and cops are called, I go off to the hospital in an ambulance, and my friends are left with the cops to sort this shit out.
They think I must have been on some really serious shit to go down like that and aren’t really buying that we were just smoking some dirt weed. My friend who brought the drugs own up to it and they search his truck where they find: the weed, a six pack, a pack of cigs, and porn. They write him a ticket for each one (he was 17) before making a big show out of tearing them all up and giving him a warning.
I went home from the hospital the next day with a hell of a headache and in trouble with my parents but both things passed quickly enough.
