TIFU by being a dumb teenager and thinking I could get away with a stupid idea

Re-formatted:

I only got caught because my parents have a tracker in my phone. Even with the tracker I thought I could still somehow get away with staying the night at my girlfriend's house. I have very protective parents and it doesn't help that I'm an only child. My parents are completely against boy-girl sleep overs, but that didn't stop me. For some stange reason, my girlfriend and I thought we could get away with it. We thought everything was going perfect, until I got home home less than 2 hours ago. I walked inside and my mom immediately told me we were going to have a talk tonight. I tried to play it off like I didn't know what she was talking about. She kept insiting that I tell her where I really was last night and I just kept saying I was at my other friend's house. I told her I had to use the bathroom and as I was walking up stairs she told me that when I came back down she wants to know what I was really doing last night. At first I thought she was just being an overprotective parent and was bluffing or just trying to test me. She said that she already talked to my friend's parents (which I knew she obviously didn't) which made me think she was lying. I came back down and my mom was on the phone. When she got off the phone, she said she was about to have to go to court and deal with HOA problems and how people weren't paying their bills on time and how it would be much easier if people just did what they were suppose to do on time. I thought she was probably making a metaphor but then thought that that's stupid, but it turns out I was right because my mom finished with, "Now tell me where you really were last night." I kept trying to act like I had no idea what she was talking about, until she brought up the phone tracker. So, I ended up just telling her everything before it became an even bigger problem. I could tell she was a angry and surprised. She then told me just to talk to my dad when he gets home and then left saying, "I have no idea what to think right now."

Right now I am sitting in my room, home alone, waiting for the next couple hours to pass for my dad to get home. I don't think I will be in too much trouble because I never get into trouble and make good grades at school. But who knows? My parents could freak out and pull me out of school and throw me back into private school. I will update later tonight if I still have access to my phone or computer.

I do know that my girlfriend is ok and is not being punished. I wish my parents were like her's.

tl;dr Protective parents found out using a tracker in my phone that I stayed the night at my girlfriend's house instead of my friend's house. Mom was mad and told me to talk to my dad when he got home. I am currently waiting.
