I Apologize for it being long, but it's worth the read (:
Haha this is awesome, thanks for running this purely because, doesn't matter who gets it you're giving a chance to someone to own an awesome piece
Never had one myself and looks so cool!,
My story is actually something that happened about 2 years ago, this is probably the best moment I've ever had within a friendship haha. So to start it off, I live in a fairly small town/village called Torpoint.
We have bugger all in terms of important shops, 2 supermarkets although smaller versions and too many pubs. I had Autism which as some may or may not know is a social/learning disability, when I moved in to my town I had only ever made one friend through my parents, which was my parents, best friends. son. Me and him would hang out all the time playing games like, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, League of Legends, Call of Duty 1. He got me in to gaming and to me he was my brother.
Now he ended up working in one of our local pubs called "The Rowing Club", unfortunately a lot of stupid people drank here and the atmosphere wasn't always the best
, due to poor management the place ended up having to close and be sold and is was heavily in debt. Now, my friend found out that they were closing and that he was losing his job, the day before they actually closed. They then told him he had to work that day, so he turns up and starts his normal shift, and I turn up an hour before he finishes. Bare in mind we knew that everything had to go, so we started passing out drinks for free to trusted locals that have been loyal members etc and have always been polite. Now, I felt bad for him because I knew that this was a job he dropped from Uni for and he was going to take some time to get something new, as soon as that last minute ticked and he finished his shift, we both started drinking.
Now I **** you not the amount we drank is genuine haha, over a space of an hour he drank a pint's worth of malibu with mixers on top of that, and half a pint of vodka, with mixers on top of that. Myself had consumed at least a pint of vodka with mixers on top of that and I was still drinking. Now being the good bro I was, I got a bit panicky when I couldn't find him anymore as he was cheery/happy and he just randomly disappeared for 30 minutes. I start checking the bathrooms because I know what he can be like drunk and I found no sign of him, I went downstairs to check as it was a multi layered building for the rowing club and I find him paralytic in a bathroom stall downstairs. Now I had never seen something so funny from him, he was stuck on a toilet, constantly spinning his head and shoulders around in a circle like he was trying to walk with no balance. We went through a good hour of trying to move him, with him kicking, punching and just acting like any drunk person except everything he did he miscalculated by miles haha.
So we call an ambulance expecting them to take him away and pump his stomach, at this point the paramedics said due to how quickly/how much we'd drunk we both should have been dead, at this point I'm still drinking, still relatively sober and laughing. I constantly make sure my friends alright but eventually the paramedic just simply said take him home. They expected us to take him in a taxi and let him be sick which we knew would cost the equivalent of $75 in fines, so we said no. From there we had to work out a way to get him home, about 10 minutes later after all the suggestions had been thrown out, the paramedic himself actually asked if we had a wheelbarrow. We get the paramedic the wheelbarrow and he goes off and get's a babies changing mat from the changing area, he lines the inside of the wheelbarrow with it and says here is your transport for your friend, this was the best solution purely because he couldn't physically walk/stand.
It was around about 1am, and I was finally starting to take him home, I had to go up 2 massive hills, go past a church (They have pastors roam at night to help civilians so there were people there lol) and neighbors hear the large noise of me going up these areas with a squeaky wheelbarrow with a drunken idiot in it. The whole way he's trying to form words and sing random **** haha. So we get to my house (I had to have someone else walk with me for safety reasons because some idiots can drive round the corners we have too fast and I didn't want to take the risk of being alone if he got hit by a car while in a wheelbarrow lol). We got him out of the wheelbarrow and carried him in to my house, now it took me an hour to get him up the hills and such as this was a medium built guy, being pushed up a hill in the wheelbarrow haha. We get him through the door and on to my sofa and I realized with it being 2 am it'd be fine to leave him with the other person. I said I'd be back in 5 minutes I just have to drop something off, so I run back down these hills with a wheelbarrow and get next to the pub just opposite the rowing club and I get stopped by the police, now looking shady because I wear dark hoodies and used to hide my face a lot, they started questioning what I was doing with a wheelbarrow at 2am in the morning lol.
I go through about a 20 minute discussion trying to explain it all to the police, they finally say okay and let me continue, I get the wheelbarrow back to the rowing club and run home, by this point it's coming up to 2:30am and I was worrying about my friend as he can't be left alone and I was unsure whether the other person could look after him while they were drunk. I get back see he's fine and he's been laid out on the sofa facing the room with a bucket next to him. As he was pretty much my only friend at the time I felt like it was my job to look after him and I sat up awake watching T.V till he woke up which was around about 8am, during that time I constantly had to rearrange him as he'd try to go into bad positions where he could choke and he liked to get forceful/resistant and he would try to kick/punch so it was quite a hard night haha. Eventually he woke up and he ran straight to the bathroom where I heard a mixture of noises, and inbetween hearing quotes like "you bastard", "how did I get home", "What the **** is this". His parents then turned up to pick him up, bare in mind he was 21 haha and they felt it safer they did so, he eventually got home and I passed out to sleep.
Never had a moment in my life where I've acted like a true brother to someone, but that night was one of the best moments I've had from a bro.
