The worst thing I have ever done, I mean this was really terrible of me... The summer I turned 17 my friend and I used to hang out down in the Flats (Cleveland bar area by the river) Anyway, at some point we discovered that we never got carded before going into these bars- even the ones notorious for carding, if you winked at the bouncer ~poof~ you got in! Anyway, my friend ends up meeting this guy, Todd, who is about 10 years older than her (27) and they end up dating. He keeps asking her how old she is, but she doesn't want to lie to him so she turns to me and BEGS me to lie about my age to this guy so he'll assume that she's older, too. I'm not very good at lying, so instead I just started talking about my college carreer, using the fantasies and whatnot I'd had of being out on my own as real stories. He asked me what year I was in, I was almost a junior in high school, so I didn't think saying I was a junior was a complete lie. After a week or so of seeing this guy on a daily basis, he introduces me to his roommate, this really attractive, smart and successful guy named (of all things) Fred. There I am, a month before my 17th birthday thinking "Wow, this could work!" I am absolutely convinced that Fred is maybe 22 or 23 because he definitely looks younger than Todd. We start dating... I would like to add that NOTHING happened between us and these guys. I can't account for my friend, but all I ever did was kiss the poor guy... Anyway, one night, I was sitting on the couch watching TV with Fred and my friend was in the bedroom with Todd and she comes running out pale as a ghost yelling for me to grab my stuff, we have to leave. I freak out because I think Todd tried something on her so we bolt. In the car she says the most awful thing I have ever heard: "Dude... Fred is thirty" I know, that meeans nothing at this point of my life, but that meant a 13 year age difference and a few major laws! I never answered his calls after that. No way would he want to know what happened, it's not fair to tell him.
I am so going to hell
