A good friend will buy you meds...but a bestie will break the law to get them for you!

So I have been sick now for about two weeks. I have a cough that I just can not seem to get rid of! And my chest rattles when I lay down...so yesterday I think I am pretty much dying so it is time to get some medication because I could see the bright light and I knew it was just a matter of time before I was going to be called home. I walk into my local Walgreens...hacking up a lung...and go check out the cold medication. Well wouldn't you know the one I want has to be picked up in the pharmacy. This has never happened to me before so I did not know what was going to be required of me but I knew I must have this medicine! So I walk up to the counter where the nice lady is waiting and hand her the little slip of paper that says what medicine I want. She acts like it is no big deal...smiles all sweet and turns around to get it. Then the next thing I know she wants to see my ID...which would have been ok had I not been stupid and let it expire. So she says oh I am sorry....I can not sale this to you. Now what I wanted to say was this "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! THE PICTURE IS ME! I AM 31 YEARS OLD. I AM GOING TO DIE IF YOU DONT SALE THIS TO ME! ARE YOU CRAZY???????" But what I said instead was "ok but can you just leave it right here....I know someone who can pick it up for me." Ok I know you all are thinking I am stupid for saying that...however please remember...I AM DYING...so I dont know what I am saying... So I go up to one of my besties which will remain nameless cause I love her and dont want her to go to prison. I said do you think you can walk down there and get this medicine for me so I can live an extra day? She said sure. Well we go back there....the nice but crazy lady is no longer there. And some man is helping us. My friend turns to me to get the medicine information...(she isnt dying so I am not sure why she asked me in front of him). He looks at her suspiciously and says is this medicine for you? I turn around and walk off as I hear her say so sweetly...yes it is. I am standing just around the corner and see him handing her papers to fill out. It basically said that if it was not for her or if she gave it to someone else....she would be fined $500,000! All for a little $6 box of medicine to help me live one more day! It is like an act of congress trying not to die around here! My bestie signed her life away on that paper. She broke the law so that I could live. Do any of you have a bestie that would do that for you? We walked outside and I snuck a pill....and I have been doing a little better:) I hope all of stay well this cold and flu season! And if you do get sick....either take a current ID....or a best friend who loves you enough to break the law:)
