Getting Caught

“What did you do with the $5 that I gave you for doing good in school?” My mom said.

“Huh what do you mean what did I do with the money. I spent it all on candy” I say. So now here I am sitting here in the circle. With a look of confusion on my face.

So now as I’m sitting there I tune out everything that is going on around me. But then I sit there and listen into what was being said and I hear “Well Chris tell me what did you spend all the money on? Did you spend it all on weed?” By the way he is my step brother. While I was sitting there I was feeling scared and nervous, because I didn’t want to get caught for something that I didn’t do.

I had a lot of negative thoughts running through my mind. Like “What if I get caught? What will the consequences be?” Will they be good or bad?” Then as I tune into the conversation I hear a sudden big bang. I told myself not to move but I wanted to. So finally after sitting still I decided to get up. I go to the front door and I see my uncle Mario standing there by it along with my uncle Danny.

So as I crept towards them they notice me then nothing. Next thing I notice I’m sitting there at the kitchen table and I hear “so you four going to tell us the truth or are we going to have to force it out of you?”

“No” I say. Afraid to say too much. Then I sit still just listening to them hit the table yelling at us about us buying the weed and smoking it with each other. So as that happens I just sit there. In utter silence. My heart feels like an abyss. At that moment I start to get angry at myself for doing such a thing. I mean my parents raised me better then that. I had it all a bed to sleep in, my own 360, my own TV, I had it all. But now because of this one little f*** up It’s all gone.

So after all of this has happened my mom finally comes over and asks me “Erick have you learned anything from this. I hope you did because I raised you better then that son.” Soon after that I say no and she says “fine your grounded for a few months.” At that point I’m shocked. I have learned that weed is bad for you. I also learned that my mom is kind of strict. Or can be most or all of the time. I had learned that as long as I kept doing this then I know that all of the trust that my family have for me or even in me will be gone. So now I’m just sitting on my bed telling myself that “it’s just another lesson learned.” So now have you ever been caught for smoking weed?

What did you feel like after you had been caught for smoking weed? Did you feel like crap? And if you haven’t been caught for smoking weed then what would you feel like if you did get caught for smoking weed?
