What happened to the real slap?

When I was a freshman in high school I still had delusions of being an actor. I was performing in a stage play and there was a scene where an actress, who was playing my girlfriend, was supposed to slap me.

We kept practicing the stage slap and I wasn't really liking how it was working.

One day, during rehearsals, she missed and actually slapped me in the face. She was immediately crestfallen and apologetic. I was suprised and phased; but, it was no big deal and it was clearly a mistake.

Actually, it was good that she missed that one time because, after she hit me, when it was time to actually perform, I just told her to hit me for real

She walloped me. The scene was at the beginning of the play and I still had a pronounced, red, hand-shaped mark on my face at dinner after the play.

The funny thing is that I'm pretty sure that she got a better shot on me than Will Smith got on Chris Rock.
