Friend In The Ditch

Just this past summer I was Spending the night with 5-10 friends at my other friends house. The plan was we would stay there until about 2am and when at that time we would sneak out and meet some friends (girls) at a somewhat near by campground. The night started out fun and safe we were drinking and smoking pot safely at his friends house, 2am came and we were ready to go me and my friend #1 (im not naming friends as they probably wouldnt want this info revealed) went the fast Exhausting way to the camp ground I carried the 60 of vodka in my backpack. The other guys went the long and easy way. Me and my friend #1 jogged up the main part of the exhausting part of the hill until we got tired, we sat down took a drank of water and waited for our hearts to slow down, my friend then pulled out a pre-rolled joint, we smoked the joint and took a few sips from the alcohol and continued up the hill. When we finally met out friends at the beach there were 5 girls waiting at the dock with our friends, these are girls that I have never seen before. We hangout at the beach for a lil while, its pitch black out and the wind is picking up; me and my friend #2 run out to the dock and strip down to our underwear, we then jump into the FREEZING water laughing our asses off at the amazement of how cold the water was, my friend #2 immediatly jumps out of the water, I stay in so that I WIN. I get back up on the dock and stand letting the wind blow on my body letting it dry off.
After we were done at the beach we headed to the campground as we planned.
When we get to the campground we see about 10 more people just sitting there, 5 guys 5 girls all but one are unfamiliar faces. We go over to them talk for a bit and make some new friends, I find out that the 5 guys are all mexican exchange students. After talking for a bit my friend #3 says "Crack out the boos" This is where the fun night goes bad. I open the bottle "for the first time" (pretending we hadent already drank a bit) I take a bid swig of it and pass it to #3 while he is drinking it someone says "Dont be a pussy take more" so #3 being the competitive person he is takes a fast 5 second chug drinking about 1/4 of the 60 of vodka .
"ADA BOY!!" same random says from the back.
#3 turns to me says "I think im drunk"
"No shit" I say
we pass the booz around a few times, it then comes back to #3 he takes another big chug this time for probably 3 seconds , he continues to be fine and having fun. After about 20 minutes were all pretty drunk and the night had begun, we started the campfire and sat around it and smoked some more pot, my friend #3 then puked a few times and I helped him I heard laughter from the camp ground and people finding it hillarious that my friend was puking....
he laid down for about an hour then woke up and seemed fine ; mean while my friend #1 took all of his clothes except his underwear off and ran off , I went back to the fire and hungout with friends for about 20 mins, at that time I heard my friend #1 yelling in the bushes, he had fallen in the lake , he came to me shiverring and crying, a girl held him till he warmed up but he was still drunk, he then looked at me randomly and yelled "LOOK A SLIPNSLIDE!!"
He ran at me and dived belly first into the rough sand. Again he was crying and being held....
The night went on and my friend #3 was still passed out at this time it was about 4 am.
I looked over at #3 and beside him was another friend that had passed out we will call him #4. 5 minutes or so later #1 comes and passes out beside them, while they are passed out they all constantly puke on eachother, I make sure that they are all facing there sides so they dont choke and I continue my night.
Throughout the night they wake up and go back and pass out but #3 the one that had drank the most has still not waken up, I tell my friends about this and they say theyve noticed it as well.
I go over to him poke him a few times call his name and tell him to get up..
I do this for about 5 minutes and he moans and doesnt get up.
I wait about an hour it is now 630 am he still hasnt gotten up my other friends are fully concious. We sit down and think of ways to wake up #3 .
One friend suggests that I use a near by garbage can and fill it up with water and dump it on him, of course me and many other decline this. 7am comes and still he has not wokin up, I go over to him and yell his name constantly for 10 mins no sign.. I grab a metal garbage can lid and a stick hit the stick against the garbage lid as a loud BANG BANG!!! comes out of the garbage lid. Still no sign of #3. We have to leave by 730 so w have time to get to tim hortons and get home before his mom knows we were gone. 730 comes and still #3 will not get up he still moans but nothings happening. On a cell phone we call the Teen help line they tell us that we need to call the police right away as this is a serious matter. I start to dial the number when #1 rips the phone out of my hand and says "dude we have weed"
I continue to dial the number.
A lady answers and asks me what type of emergency it is. I tell her whats happened and that she needs to bring an ambulance right away. She asks me where I am, I tell her at the campground. She tells me that she doesnt know where that is (which i know is a lie seeing as theres only one campground in our small city) I tell her that obviously she knows where it is and to get someone out there as soon as possible. She says a car is on the way and to stay there until the ambulance get there. We sit there for about 10 mins, we hear the sirens comeing closer, all of my friends book it out of there and I follow cause I dont know what to do. We sit in a near by bush and watch them care to our friend. ( a friend and all the girls stay to watch #3)
My friends and I all go to tim hortons as planned, me and my friend #5 go on our longboards as we will be much faster. We get at timmy and #5 buys me a breakfast sandwich. About 5 minutes later our other 2 friends arrive. We sit in the chairs at the tim hortons discussing how #3 will be perfectly fine and that nothing will happen. While were eating our breakfasts We stop talkin for a minute, right at that time we hear the sirens HOWL in the background we see and ambulance drive by from where we were...... We are all shocked that it was that serious, we finish our breakfasts and head up to the hospital, we pass out at the local skate-park for 15 mins so we can rest seeing as we hadnt slept..... we wake up 15 minutes later and head up to the hospital, we see his mother who hates me by the way , she starts to yell at me blaming me when in all actuallity I was the responsible one. Being yelled at obviously my friends and I left the hospital, we walked back to my house. When we got to my house it was locked so we went to the school for 3 hours to sleep in the field. I wake up go home and face my mother, her friends are also at the house. I explain to her that i didnt drink much and that I called the ambulance. She told me that she understood and that it wasnt my fault. Her other friend came into my room and talked to me, she explained that if my friend died that I would be arrested for man slaughter. After she told me this a few times I told her to fuck off and I went to my room to think about what would happen. I called my friends and asked them if theyd heard anything they said he was still in the hospital and he had severe alcohol poisoning. I continued to worry for a few days, everyday I called to see how he was doing, and he still hadnt gotten up. On the fourth day i called #3's house and his mom who hates me answered.
"Hi" she says.
"Umm Hi is !)(@*$) there?"
"Hes fine thats all you need to know." and she hungup the phone.
I see him the next day he is 100% fine and he says that he wouldve died if he had gotten to the hospital 15 mins later. Im glad that my friends and I were all ok and stayed out of trouble with the law in this situation. ***BE CAREFUL WITH DRUGS/ALCOHOL***
