If Only I Had Listened
My heart was rapidly beating out of my chest. I felt that cold sweat running down my back and I knew that was it. There’s a few things I regret doing in my life but this one was the worst.
I had always been a trouble maker and quite inquisitive but my life got changed on this day. It was finally after exams and in my opinion hell was over and now it was time to party. There was a party held on the night after exams which I had asked my parents to attend but they forbid me to even leave the house. They gave me the same old repetitive parent lecture which bore me to death and I could not even stand.
Since I never liked being told what to do I came up with a plan with my friends Jade and Chantelle to try and outsmart the old hags back home who did not quite understand what being a teenager really felt like. Chantelle was to go to Jades’ house and I would tell my parents that I was going over to Jades’ house and from there we would leave and say something like we were going out for dinner since we hadn’t been out for some time due to the toll exams took on us.

I suddenly felt dizzy and Josh “the superhero” came to my rescue and caught me. I should mention that Josh was nineteen and I was fifteen. I really can’t explain how I felt. I was also confused because I remember having water most of the time so I couldn’t be that drunk. People stared but Josh told them that I was too drunk and that he would take me home and the stupid people believed him. He carried me down the road and when he tried to put me in his car I struggled but I was too weak to even do anything and eventually I blacked out. I woke up to a moving car but nothing registered for a minute, I didn’t realize what was going on but then suddenly BANG! I remembered everything that happened. I put up a struggle yet again which thinking back I should’ve stayed silent and come up with a plan but then I blacked out
