Week 8 Prompts # 35

35. Three of them sitting there in complete silence.

I was a Sophomore in high school, and captain of the varsity soccer team. I always had team get together at my house, and they were always filled with adventures.  Many nights of no sleep and lots of laughter filled my house every weekend. This one night particularly we decided to go a little crazy. We met some cute boys that lived right down the street from me, so we decided we should sneak out to meet them at the park. We made it out of the house and up the street to the park where we all met and were having a blast until the police drove up. We didn't know that there was a curfew in my town, in turn the police drove me, and my three friends back home. When we arrived to my house, the police man insisted on me waking my parents so he could tell them what was going on. I was a nervous wreck.

Once my parents came out to talk to the police man, he left and my parents wanted to find out what was going on. She sat me and my three friends down on the couch just to figure out exactly what was going on.  My parents questioned us one by one, but when it came down to taking the blame, the four of us sat there. They looked at each one of us with a curious look upon their faces. My friends and I looked at each other and it seemed as if we had made a decision to all take the blame, so I stood up only to look down to see the three of them, sitting there, in complete silence. To see the least I was pissed. Here I was taking the blame for an adventure all four of us in complete agreement decided to embark on. It was OK though, I decided that it was my house, and my family so I should do right and go with it. Take the blame. My parents decided to be a little lenient this time, and no punishment was given. Thank goodness. I continued to have sleep overs, we just decided to not take as big adventures and play it safe.
