Smashed window

Well i wasnt really sure where to put this but im really upset & worried.

It all began last night has her mum and her boyfriend were away until thursday. It was boring so i asked her if this lad could come round. He lives local, about 5 miles from me. And he knows someone who we both went school with (different years).

Anyway. They come round at 5:30am and it was fine at first. Until they started drinking.

Then kevin (the one we went school with) nicked my friends phone. My friend was really annoyed and in the end his mate - Ant put him up against the wall with his hands round his neck and said give it her back, he was blue in the face kevin was because he was gettin strangled so hard. He said let me sit down and ill give it you. Then he sat down, ant askeed where it was, he said its here and chucked it against the wall. Then we carried on, having a laugh and a joke as you do.

Then for some reason kevin got dared by ant to nick my friends tv and he was unplugging it, the door was open ( was too hot) then he had all the wires out. Went to pick it up. Then laura my friend who lives in the house with her mum and her mums boyfriend got ebhind kevin, pushed him and ant was on the floor so kevin tripped over ant and banged into the sette, laura went to put the television back and kevin come behind her i said laura watch out, he tried to push her but she put force back and they both kind of fell. Then laura kicked him and pushed him outside. I was on the sette and ant was on the floor, laura was pushing kev outside and he was forcing the door open.

Then i went to the door cause i was goin say somethin to kev and he had like a large pebble - bbut was really big. I told laura and she said to ant you better get outside and sort him out. So he got his coat and kevs bag and went outside. Then i shouted im ringin the police, and i did. And about 10 seconds after the window went through. Baring in mind my friend and i were in the midle of the room where he smashed it. And he put great force into it.

Then the police come, did a statement etc.

Anyway - im aged 17 nearly and my friend is 17.

And what i would like to know is the following-

Have i got to pay towards the new window?
And i would also like to know if people think its my fault because i inviteed them round, but i did keep saying to my friend can you tell em go cause there getting on my nerves. And she said in min, every time.

And also, her mum is on her way back from london, due back about 11pm with her boyfriend. And her mum said on the phone i am not to step foot in the house.

I do not want to tell my parents the whole truth but her nan lives round the corner from me. And i know s he will tell my mum.

I am really worried i will have to pay towards the window. However i did NOT smash it


Could i have peoples opinions and/or advice please.

I cant eat, drink or sleep today since this has happend and i am crying as i type this.

Sorry if this is the wrong board, cannot find a right one for it to be honest!

Thank you & sorry for the long post

    Awww hun, you sound so worried and don't be. Hopefully her parents will have insurance so they could maybe claim on that and you could pay the excess. It is not your fault, we all make mistakes when we're young but they make you the person you grow into. Her mum will be mad at the moment but maybe you could write her a letter, tell her how you feel and offer to do all you can to put it right, i think you should tell your mum too, its not as bad as you think it is and she can maybe help you.

    Take care chick. x

    whoever said diddums dont worry, i wonder if you would so understanding if you while you out, your house was trashed ?
    Silly idea to even consider an insurance claim on a broken window, by the time you consider the excess, then of course next year, whats happend to your no claim bonus !
    what did the police say ? the lad that broke the window, why is he not paying. its a criminal offence.
    learn by this, do what your mum tells you, its her house.

    Struggling to keep up with this.

    You went to your friends house.
    You asked if you could invite two boys and your friend agreed.
    After some antics, your friend pushed one of the boys outside.
    The boy (Kev) broke a window.

    Correct?

    Then it's Kev's fault, surely. He should pay.
    I'd say you and your friend are equally responsible. If for some reason you can't get Kev to pay then you and your friend should do the honourable thing and offer to pay half each.

    You should both tell your parents exactly what happened. And you should do so before anyone else tells them.
    Yes, you'll get in trouble, but you made a mistake. The mistake you made was thinking that it would be ok if these two boys came round, and it wasn't.

    Mistakes happen. Admit to it. Work off or pay off the debt. Try to think more carefully next time.
