In this blog post I will be composing a past scene about a time that my friends made a decision that negatively impacted all of my friends and I’s lives. This is a story about when one of my best friends was arrested for underage drinking. This scene was composed after I had listened to Lulu Wang’s Podcast ‘What You Don’t Know’.
It was a hot August day in 2015, The Zac Brown Band had just come to Philadelphia to play a two day show. “If we don’t leave now we are gonna be late” I said as I waited for my friend Jack to get ready for the concert. “Dude we are fine just relax” Jack said from the upstairs shower. He finally came downstairs and we left. “Did Matt get that case of beer from his older brother?” I asked “Yea, we both owe him 10 dollars” Jack Said Our uber pulled up to the Malvern Train Station as we took the train into the city. “ yo Jacks!, wait up!” we heard from behind us, it was our friend Matt running towards us with a backpack so filled up so much you could see the outline of cans from the outside of the bag. “Nice job with the beers” I said “ yea this is so clutch” Jack agreed We boarded the train at around 4 o’clock to get to Citizens Bank Park by 7:30 for the concert. As we found a seat on the train, we opened the backpack and start drinking some of the beers Matt got us. “Eww these are so warm” I said “Oh my bad, I didn’t think of that when I was getting us the beer” Matt said in a sarcastic tone” “Alright man thanks for getting it for us really though” I said As our ride progresses we continue to drink the beers and joke around with each other. Our 16 year old minds had no idea how much beer we were drinking. We get to the city and get off the train. “ which way is the subway?” I Muttered “Its over here” said Matt “Dude the subway is f**king nasty” Jack said much louder than expected. We start to draw some eyes as people start to see three 16 year old boys walking through 30th street station with open beers. We finally get to the subway entrance and get on with moments to spare. “This concert is gonna be so awesome guys” I said very excited and just a bit tipsy. “Yea man I saw them last year with my family and it was awesome” Matt says “ We just need to hurry up and get there or we are gonna miss the tailgate” Jack said. We were heading down to meet up with our other friends to drink more in the parking lot before the concert. We walk a short distance from the subway towards our friends when Jack peeled away from the group to go to the bathroom. Matt and I continued to walk towards the tailgate as Jack said he would meet us there. An hour passed and Matt and I started to worry. “Where do you think he is?” I said to Matt “ My calls keep going to voicemail” Matt says All of the sudden my phone starts to ring, but it is not Jack, its my mom. “ hello” I say “ hey buddy Jack just got arrested for underage drinking” said my mom “ oh my god really?” I said “ yea his mom is picking him up at the station she just called Matt’s mom and I” My mom said “ yes, so I want you and Matt to get on the first train back right now, we have a lot to talk about.” My mom said in an angered tone “What’s going on” Matt said confused “ we have to go home and talk to our parents, Jack got arrested for underage drinking and now I believe we have a world of hurt coming our way from our parents” I said. Matt and I got back on the subway and headed back to 30th street station. “Well today turned out to be horrible” Matt said as boarded the train home “Dude I am gonna be so grounded” I said In disappointment “Yea, we are screwed” Matt said with an exhale as we both sat depressed for the rest of the ride.
