At the moment, not much comes to mind.
The only thing that does is I saw my friend get beat by his dad for very little reason.
Back story? Sure. But I will skip the weird part since it seems far fetched to most people. Anyway, it was his birthday party at his house.
We were about 12-13ish. He had gotten an inflatable bouncy castle for the occasion (it was "The Little Mermaid" style because the place didn't have any others) and at one point his dad and his uncle thought it was a good idea to charge into one of the pillars. It didn't seem to do much...at first. Then the tower folded in on one of the jumps, it almost looked like it was starting to deflate, but it was just the one tower that collapsed and was pinched in a way that the air didn't make it stand back up. I had just left the "castle" to get some iced tea and there was my friend, and some of his cousins inside it still. I saw the cousins come out, but my friend was still no where to be found. As you would imagine I started to painic and wonder why his parents or family aren't doing anything. Then I hear his mom say "Stay away from the castle until we figure out how to fix it." The uncle started to head to the air pump and aside from me wondering how the fuck that would fix it, I started looking around for my friend, just in case I missed him somewhere. Then I hear a very faint, muffled screaming. The voice I only regconized because I had heard him in pain before. My friend was still in the tower. I looked to see if anyone else heard it, but no one seemed to, so I took off my shoes, put the glass on the table, and dashed inside the tower, hearing the bunch of adults yelling at me not to go in, but I had to see if he was in there. Sure enough, I look at the ground were the tower collapsed and I saw a tuff of hair and a bit of a finger poking out, all while still hearing the muffled yell. (Something I can never forget) I didn't want to think of how he was still able to scream, or if he was trying to move, just wanted to get him out of there. I started to wedge myself under the tower, in an attempt to give just enough clearance for him to move. I don't know if I actually moved the tower up or just pushed the floor down, but it opened up and there I saw my friend laying next to me. I just started to yell at him to go, at first he hesitated, but he then quickly scrambled to move out, but the "bounce houses" (whatever you want to call them) aren't known for their tracktion with socks. As he started to move out, my arms felt too strained and had to stop. The tower came back ontop both of us, but I was still half out and I could see his head was out. So I took a deep breath and pushed again until my arms couldn't take it. He had made it out. I of course got out in time but for awhile I just layed in there catching my breath. Once I got back inside, my friend was crying and his dad was yelling at him. Wanting to get out of the situation, I went to the other room for something to drink. As I came back, I looked back at my friend and his dad. The father was yelling at him to stop crying, of course, that wouldn't stop him from doing so. The kid was pretty shooken up. Then he started to beat him. (Also something I can't forget) The father then looked back and saw me. I was scared shitless thinking he was going to do something to me. Then I was surprised because then he just said, "You see! Now you're embarresing me in front of Kyle!" (that is my name ). I just hurried out the back door, not wanting to be more ammo. My friend stayed inside for a long while after that, and I wasn't allowed back in until he had come out. One thing is for certain, I dispise that man. (Wow, that was a longer rant than I thought...)
TL;DR: Look at the top, I said it before my rant
