Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

giving minors alcohol.

Ok I just turned 18 on July 23rd, and my friend that I haven't seen in months came to town for Laborday weekend. And we went to a local store and I gave a bum money for budlight. Well there was a girl who is also 18 she got drunk and her sister (shall be named as S) and S's boyfriend (known as B) showed up and dragged her out. I got brought home and the 3 guys crashed at one of their houses. The girl whos 18 ranaway from her house and went to where the guys were, then her dad, S, and B broke down the door and dragged her out. Now cops are going to where I work and saying that I've been supplying them with alcohol for a long time, but this is the first since I have turned 18. What should I do I'm scared shitless!
