Night out – the Ugly.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was in my sophomore year, and I just come back from my first ever high school party. I was never really close to anyone freshman year and wanted to use this as an opportunity to meet new people. I got so caught up I thought the best way to fit in was to fall into the peer pressure. It was my first time ever drinking, and I was nowhere in my right state of mind to make decisions for myself after a little bit of alcohol in me. I managed to make it through till the end, when I began to throw up in front of 30 people I had never met in my life before. A genius I thought I’d be able to walk in and just fall asleep. I walked in “as quietly as I could” but walked into my dad sitting in the living room watching TV, as our eyes met. I was so messed up, and I wished my dad not to notice how messed I was, and I was in fear that if I approach him or get near him he could smell the alcohol and I would get big into very big trouble. My father was one of the most religious people I knew over the century. He never tolerated bad behaviour that would destroy our family name, which has been the great and most pure name in our community and the whole of the society.
A lot of things was running through my mind because I knew if this religious man senses what I have put myself into just for the sake of showing off to the people that I have never met to get their attention and friendship something that resulted into shame, he would skin me alive. When our eyes met, I wanted to ignore him, but he would notice something was wrong with me. I greeted him from a distance, and he answered back. I did not want to risk my life and get grounded for life just because of alcohol. I seemed week, and he asked if I am alright and I answered yes before he even finished asked many questions, I went up the stairs to my room where there was a cool breeze entering the room through the large open windows where I usually escape at night just to go and say hey to my so-called girlfriend.
I closed the window, and all I really wanted was to forget what I went through that evening. I did not want to associate with anyone, and when I looked at my phone which was on silent mode, I saw seven missed from my best American friend who has been calling me for the past two hours. I did not bother calling him back because I just wanted to be alone I and I knew everyone knew what I had done at the mini party. There was to be a major party during the night that only the cool kids and the VIPs were only invited, I heard someone calling me from outside, and the voice sounded familiar. When I went to check who it was, it was my girlfriend and my best friend Ali they asked if I was going the major party that was to be held in the most famous club in our town. I did not want to go to any party soon, but also I did not want to lose the only opportunity of spending a good time with my friend and my girlfriend. I went and took a quick shower then like always a snack again, not knowing that day would turn out to be the worst day ever in my life.
At the road, we took a ride to the club and when we arrived our first encounter was the bullies who went to the extent of harassing my girlfriend in front of me, and I couldn’t do anything about it. We bought our entrance VIP tickets then we entered the club. My girlfriend went to the counter and bought a bottle of whisky. I knew this was a terrible decision. I knew life was short n I had to enjoy life. We started drinking, and before we knew we got ourselves into the dance floor, my friend who was holding one of the hot girls in the club and they started kissing while dancing. I feared kissing in public, but I had to try because everyone has to make the first step in everything .we started kissing and I did not notice that there was live streaming in the club and one of the TV stations was broadcasting the party. The cameraman started recording, and I felt like this was the best day ever. Some of the people noticed me called me as the guy from the other party who vomited everywhere. These words tempted me and I wanted to show them that I can drink again I went and took a bottle of whisky and started drinking the whisky as the camera recorded people started cheering and before I knew I finished the whisky bottle. Within minutes I started vomiting on the dance floor. I was ashamed, and my girlfriend did not want to speak to me. I heard my phone ringing, and it was my dad calling. I went outside to receive the call and without noticing, felt a blow on my back and a huge man wearing a leather jacket, and it was my father. He took me home, and I was grounded for the rest of my life, I had shamed myself in front of my girlfriend. This was the worst night ever in my life.
