I know most of you wont read this story all the way through, but whatever.
So basically we were gonna go to the carnival again. And me and my friend were in my grandparents room. I was in the bathroom, well I'll be honest, I was in the bathroom trimming my pubes lol. My girlfriend kinda hates the peach fuzz of a mustache I have and i always forget to shave it. Btw, spam in the middle so I don't do a five post and get banned by some douche bag who would tell on me lol. So I hear him say, "Dude, there's 716 bucks in your grandparents drawer." I went over there so see. And there was.
For some reason, just by seeing all that money, I took it and we went to my friend Ricky's house. We prank called Pizza Hut over there. And it was so funny lol. Everything was fine. We had a plan. My phone went dead so we decided to go back to my house so I can charge it so I can text my girlfriend. She said that Autumn's (One of our best friends) mom was going to pick us up. So I called my grandmother and told her. She said, "Where are you going to get your money for the rides at the carnival?" We said, "They're gonna pay for us." I started knowing she was suspicious. So I started having second thoughts about the money. So I put back all but 100. Then, her mom comes and picks us up. I show them the money. Madison told me it was a bad idea. Madison is my girlfriend by the way. But I didn't listen.
When we got to the carnival, we cashed in the money for tickets for rides. We only gave 50. And we spent it pretty fast. Four of us were there and rides costing 4 to 5 tickets a person. It was gone within 3 rides. We got a little more tickets and rode another ride. Then we decided to go to Papacita's (A tex/mex restaurant). When we were in there, I get a call from my grandmother, she said, "Where are you?" "I'm at Papacita's." "I'm coming to get you. You're in a lot of trouble." Denying it I say, "For what?" She says, "I think you know why."
When she came, I got Madison, Autumn, and Branden (my friend who found the money) to get in on the story. My grandma wouldn't buy it. She let me go back with Madison and Autumn though so we could go back to the fair. She drove Branden back to his house. And I had to leave right when I got there and I didn't even get to eat food. Kinda sucked. Okay, so after that, we went back to the fair, rode a couple more rides with some left over money.
We went to the mall after that, and I get a text from my grandma again saying that I'm grounded when I get home for lying. I still deny it. Then Branden spills some stuff about us at the park last night. And my grandma then said, if you don't tell me the truth then I'm going to get your phone cut off so you'll never be able to talk to your friends again. So I did a huge douche move.
I tried to plant it all on Branden. I blamed it all on him. I guess I didn't really care as much as I should have because he was the one who found the money and got me into this whole mess. He also moved to Houston so I wouldn't be able to see him in the first place. I said that I wouldn't tell her because he would hate me. Then, later on we left the mall. And I get a call text from my grandma saying, go to the parking lot of Sears in the mall. I went and she said, "Get in the car." I said, "Where are we going?" She said, "It doesn't matter."
I asked if Madison and Autumn could come and she said yes. So apparently we were going back to Branden's. And I was fucking scared as hell. I was so nervous. His mom asked for the story. And I made up this whole story about Branden taking it. Then Branden told her the real story. I then denied again that it wasn't me who did it. But finally, I admitted it. And his mom went on forever about how hard it is to make a hundred dollars. Hell, I could make a hundred bucks in a day. The only reason why she's forty and is making 8 bucks an hour is because of her choices to do drugs. My grandma was like, "What do you have to say for yourself?!" I said, "I don't know." She told me to apoligize. And when I walked up to my grandpa, I said, "Pops, I'm so so--" I started crying. Trying to avoid embarrasment by crying in front of my girlfriend for the first time, I tried my best to stop. My grandpa said that when someone does him wrong it takes a very long time for him to trust them again. I love my grandpa with all my heart. And he works so hard for his money. Which is the main reason why I cried.
Anyways, Branden's mom got completely off topic. She then started saying the girls were in on it too. I tried my best to keep them out of it. His mom then said, "Look, when one day you're in jail, she's not going to be there for you." This made me cry even more. Because I love my girlfriend. We were friends for 2 years and liked each other off and on for all that time. The reason why we hadn't dated sooner is because we were always dating other people. But I'm happy we are finally together.
Back to the main subject, when we were them back to Autumn's apartment, me, Madison, and Autumn were all crying. They were crying because they were afraid they weren't gonna be able to hang out with me anymore. Autumn is truly my best friend. My girlfriend is very important to me too. So this worried them. When they got out of the car, I asked if I could go talk to them for a minute. My grandma asked why. And I said so I can apoligize. And then there was truly a beautiful moment.
When I walked up to them, they were both crying and so sad. But I had stopped crying mostly. But when I saw those tears, I just couldn't keep myself from crying. So I got them both, and we started hugging. And we didn't let go. I was telling them how sorry I was. And that it was all my fault. They would just tell me it isn't all my fault and that they love me. We kept hugging and were all still crying. Madison said, "We can make this work right? We'll still be able to hang out won't we at some point?" I said it'll all work out. That was one of the most memorable and beautiful moments in my life. It may not sound like much to you. But being there, and being in that hug and trying to cheer each other up, it was truly amazing. But anyways, the reason I'm in trouble is because me and my friend stole 100 bucks from my grandpa's drawer.
Guys, don't do stupid stuff. Keep you and your friends out of trouble. Because there will be concequences. No matter how long it takes for someone to figure it out, they will figure it out. And you're just hurting yourself and the people around you. Yes, it might sound like a good idea. But in the end, you're just a naive teenager who doesn't know what he's doing. If you really care about your friends and your girlfriend, you'll keep them out of trouble.
