this is fun. keep with it for the gory details. names have been changed.
the last fight i can recall having was about three years ago.
i was attending a pub crawl with a few fellows, including many of my bestest of friends. obviously a large quantity of alcohol was consumed, but with exception of some of my smaller friends, all could hold their drink (yours truely included).
so we're at the fourth or fith stop when we split in to two seperate drinking parties and agree to meet up again a little later in the local rock and roll establishment for bud and whiskey backs.
two hours or so later, much failed flirting and £40 worth of booze rotting in my guts i'm jumping up and down like a total panzie to music that i despise (i couldn't help it, i was pissed), when all of a sudden my dear friend sebastian, drunk as a boiled owl, has his face in a female friends face. then her boyfriends face. then, without malice, lunges toward this young ladies boyfriend.
before you could say supercalifragilisticexpealidocious, two bouncers are restraing my drunken friend who was fighting back at their restraint.
i knew he was in the wrong, and so to help aliviate the situation, i help to calm down sebastian and carry him out with the bouncers. by the legs. backwards up the stairs. once outside, my dear friend was trying to wrestle every human being (or car for that matter) within 20 feet. things were not going well.
after making apologies for the fool, i led the mission to guide him home without police involvement.
200 meters down the road he had insulted every single person in sight, broken a few public items, and nearly been run over.
with my attention elsewhere for a split second, he attempted to lunge at a small female police officer, resulting in THREE PEOPLE sitting on him, whilst i talked the officer out of arresting him, as we only had a further 500 or 600 meters to go.
apologies were made, and we returned to our journey. with his behaviour worsening, i made the decision to walk sebastian the remaining 300 meters alone, whilst the others took a different route. after all, i was his best friend. surely with just the two of us he would calm down?
for a while things were good. his speech turned back to something resembling english, and soon we were laughing off the whole night...
.until he started taking pot shots at me!
i did what any friend would do, and ignored the fact that he was trying to beat 7 bells out of me and just took the punches.
the violence escalated however, and i had no choice but to defend myself against my best friend who was so drunk, that had he managed to floor me, he may well of killed me. it was that bad.
i threw a right hook at sebastian knocking him to the floor, said some very nasty things, and stormed off cursing myself for hitting another human being.
the fight itself was over in a second, but whilst in my rage of self hate for hitting my best friend, i tripped (i was sober by now, so i can't blame the booze).
sebastian meanwhile had picked himself up of the floor and walked the last 20 meters home. unable to find his door key (probably in his other hand. no joke) he put his fist through the thick glass of his porch door.
i was in agony from my trip, but when i saw the ambulance fly past me towards sebastians home, i ran back with the fellows i had met up with at the designated meeting spot.
when we got to the hospital, the doctors informed us that sebastian had nearly lost his arm putting his fist through the window. the cut was about 2 mm from his main artery, and was so deep it had scored the bone.
i had hit him square in the nose, so hard that i had shattered it and left him with a concusion.
my fall, although not so serious, essentialy ripped my right big toe off. the skin held the toe in place and it was 8 weeks before i could walk again.
sebastian, although essentialy fine now,ended up with brain damage caused from one too many knocks to the head. it was my single punch that finally caused this.
