I lied to my dad so that he wouldn’t know I was at my neighbor’s house without a condom

I’m female, 16. <br><br>When I was 15, I had sex for the first time with my neighbor, who I’ll call Sam. Sam was really nice and I was very comfortable with him, which I guess is why I was able to assume that he already had a condom on without double-checking. I look back on that and wonder how naive I was. <br><br>We had sex and I didn’t even realize it wasn’t protected until Sam told me after. I flipped out. I was scared, and I was mad at Sam even though he was only 15 himself. He said he had been in the moment and wasn’t thinking about the condom. Looking back, I should’ve been more worried about getting pregnant all the times I had unprotected sex with him after. <br><br>At the time, I was supposed to be staying at my grandma’s house, but I was really at Sam’s house. He drove me to the pharmacy to get Plan B and then back to his house. After, he was driving me back to my grandma’s house but got stopped by a cop. I was terrified. I was on my phone so I could have a distraction if I needed one, but I was so startled that I dropped it. I looked over at Sam and saw his face was terrified as well. I thought we were both going to jail. <br><br>I lied to the cop, telling him I was at my grandma’s house the whole time, and he believed me. Sam didn’t even get a ticket. I still don’t know why I lied, maybe it’s because my grandma was in on the secret and she was a very kind person who got along with my dad. What if she got in trouble? I didn’t think of the possibility that the cop could have called my grandma to confirm I was there. <br><br>I will never forget that. It was invigorating and terrifying all at once. I just looked at Sam and we both smiled nervously, knowing we had just gotten away with something big. <br><br>The cop telling me to slow down and be safe was laughable. He had no idea how unsafely and irrisponsibly I had been driving.
