Adam Saved The Day

Had been working all day doing cement foundations waiting to go see my friends from another town. He texted earlier that week asking if we wanted to hang out I of course said yes I couldn’t refuse hanging out with him I had been good friends with this kid since grade school and I wasn’t going to waste the opportunity to hang out with one of my good friends from middle school. We would work out the details and it was decided we would hangout that Saturday. I was so stoked and I couldn’t wait to see my dude I have been good friends with this kid since middle school, we would do everything together go to sea dogs games go outside and ride four wheeler’s and honestly find the most weird stuff to do. One day you might not believe it, but we got so bored we decided to dig a hole like the one from holes the movie/book just weird stuff you wouldn’t expect 12 year old kids to do. I couldn’t imagine what it was like without him in my life it was honestly the saddest day when he left town to go to Lewiston for high school. We soon lost touch with each other and didn’t hang out much at all in high school and now on the most random summer day he messaged me to hang out. I had ignored all of my friends I had made through high school to hang out with this kid and too hopefully find the same friendship we once had.It was around 4:00 and he had picked me up from my house in his ford focus he had bought for eight hundred dollars last spring from his snow plowing jobs he used to do and I guess other ways he would get his money. We would then head out to the sticks of Lewiston near the power lines. We then went to his house where his Dad was cooking burgers and I really didn’t know what we had plans for that night but I just assumed it was going to be something fun probably play fortnite all night or something it didn’t have to be anything crazy. I was just hoping we had have a good enough time together we could do something again in the future. I was not ready for what was in store. Around eight o’clock I was doing exactly what I thought I was going to do when I got there. when we got there. I was in his family room playing Fortnite getting some huge dubs listening to Kanye West and I couldn’t believe the all the chips I was eating too it seemed like they had a whole stock pile of dortos. It seemed like time was going by so fast and was glad because it seemed like we were having a good time and we would hang out again. Until he had the idea to go into his sun room and listen to ye with his new JBL speaker.I would then pause the game and follow him to the sun room with him where he would quickly shut the door. What I didn’t know was I was about to have the scariest moment of my life. He would ask the question “Do you smoke weed?” and I would say “No I don’t but it has crossed my mind many times to do try it maybe when I was 21 when it was legal” he followed that up with “How about you try it with me right now?” I would quickly respond with “Not right now dude, I didn’t even know you smoked” He then said “Ya I do. Actually all the time” I was shocked and asked “your parents are cool with it?” He said “Ya” and opened a box that had jar of weed and then he grabbed a joint. My heart was racing and I didn’t know what to do, who should I text in this moment of need. I was thinking really fast and texted my buddy Adam Lapointe and see what he was doing and if he could pick me up so I could leave this sticky situation. As soon as I got the text back saying “what’s the address?” The joint was put into my face I had know idea what to do and I wasn’t thinking clearly so I punched him in the face and ran out the house and ran into the woods. As soon as I got to the woods I would called Adam meet me at the end of street and pick me up.That day I realized how lucky who my actual friend was and who I would want to try to hang out with the rest of my life. I’m so grateful for having Adam in my life because he would do anything for me and I would do anything for him. We might of had a little spat one time but it was honestly needed to help us have a much improved friendship. I will always be grateful to have Adam as a friend and all of things he has supported and done for me. I would never forget this night because it seemed like there were snakes in the grass and we came in with lawn mower that day. Oh ya if you were wondering about my other friend we would text each other and I would say sorry obviously, but we haven’t’ talked since and I feel like we won’t ever be as close as we once were. It is a shame that it probably had to end that way but there is a silver lining to everything and Adam was kind of on the side lined friend kind of just there and I know will forever the value of having such a good friend I will always forever be grateful for what Adam has helped me with. Now he is one my closest friends and is helping write this right now.
