spring break
One example would be a college spring break in FL. A girlfriend and I were out for the day drinking and sun from noon. We hooked up with a couple guys and went to beach and bar parties well into the night and ended up back at their hotel. We had already paired off with the guys and were making out when my friend excused herself to go to the bathroom because she was going to be sick from all the drinking and sun. I was on the blitzed side too. Tings were getting serious between my partner and I so the other guy went to check on my friend but she was not in the bathroom She had left. He returned to have to end up watching but soon joined in. You can guess the story from there.
I have several of this real life experiences, and have to believe most do. It would be fun relating them but I can see that just reading the facts are maybe boring but I can see without having dialog or a narrator details have to be passed over because it was an actual experience and not a movie where you can study detail.

Thanks for your comment. So if I were to try and write about this experance, from who's prospective would I write? From my own doesn't seem right because there are things I honestly don't know. Maybe from the seconds guys view and i could freely make up things to support the facts I do know. Or maybe true life just doesn't fit because once the story is done it is no longer true.

Check out a few and pretend you are a writer, like we do.
Maybe here's where I can plug our stories and help at the same time. All of our stories are true life events. Some even happened in Florida bars and beaches.

I've use a blogger approach when writing (mostly) real experiences. Visualize the whole event-stream / story arc in your mind. Write blog entries for everything as it happens, everything you did and thought and felt and observed. Then write the next entry. And the next.
That's the story framework, like a sculpture's armature. Now flesh it out, add clay to the sculpture, whittle away at the excess, push and poke it till it's in a shape you like. Hey, you've got a story!

You should feel free to add or change anything about the actual experience that will make it a better story.
As far as perspective is concerned, choose the person from whose perspective the story will be most interesting. If it's a 2-guy, 1-girl threesome, then my first instinct would be to think that the woman's perspective will be most interesting, but it all depends on the characters and how each of them sees the experience. Ask some questions: Who is the most innocent/inexperienced of the participants? Who is the character for which this incident creates the most conflict, internal or external? From which perspective is it most erotic or kinky?
There's no right answer, and there are readers on this site for just about every imaginable taste or interest. Think about which perspective turns you on the most. That's probably where the best story lies.

The parts you don't know, you make up. No story is true-to-life; the best you'd be able to do is relate the facts as you know them, and you'd never know them all. So write a fun story based on what you do know. Writing from your own perspective is best; plenty of male readers would love to know what a girl in a threesome thinks and feels. And if you're like many people, you'd find writing from the other gender's perspective hard anyway.
But writing here is supposed to be fun, so write what you like and post it if you like how it came out.

Do it yourself!
Over the years, I have written several stories based on real life experiences. (There you go; that's got a few of you guessing - and reading my back catalogue.
)
What I usually do is to start by writing out what I remember happening. And then I ask: What would have made this more interesting? What else might have happened? How could the 'characters' have been more interesting? And then I start to polish the meld.
Sometimes. what is left contains very little of the original memory (which may not have been that accurate anyway). But I do usually have a story. And there are usually a few other people who enjoy it. Well, three or four other people, anyway.
Good luck.

I try to go a step beyond with "what else might have happened?" What if a relationship had or hadn't lasted, or someone had or hadn't died young, or someone had been very lucky or not? What if I had taken a different turn somewhere?
I've a list of what I call Cusps and Determinants. Cusps, I had no control over; they just happened to me. Determinants are paths I took, choices I made. All these are likely exploratory points for stories.
Many of my stories include real-life incidents, suitably juiced and edited. Many hinge on stuff that could have happened but didn't. I extrapolate from there and try to make it interesting. Most of my characters are real people, the poor sods. I try to make them (and me) sexier because LIT.
I will add my 2 cents worth: You should feel free to change any/all details of the story so that it's fun for you to write. Maybe 2nd guy goes into the bathroom and 2nd girl has puked on herself then passed out sitting next to the toilet on the floor. A bit disgusted, he comes back, but you guys are already having fun, so all there is to do is watch. (particularly true if the guy you're with has the car!) After a bit, you and your guy let him join in, and a 3 way starts up. You guys are still going when 2nd girl comes to and takes off soiled clothes to start a shower. Maybe the 3some notices her and lets her in, or maybe you guys have gotten tired and are snuggling by now, maybe she comes out naked and wet and starts playing with herself watching the 3 of you.
It's up to you.
It's up to you.

By letting someone else write about your experiences...doesn't that really make them theirs?
Even if I told you the story of my life and handed it off for you to write, the fact that you would include your feelings and such, now makes it your life story and not mine.
That's why you should just write the story of your life yourself.

Sounds like the current president of a big country. And this doesn't surprise me a bit.

You've provided the setup for what would be a good story, I think, but it's where this goes from there that makes it a proper short story. What does happen next? What surprising or interesting way does it resolve. Having a story worth making into a written short story is in the resolution, not just in the setup. See if you can push to circumstances to an interesting or surprising resolution of some sort. Then maybe you'll be motivated to write it yourself--if only only for yourself.

I tend to focus a lot on emotions, feelings, fears, etc. In other words, what's playing out in the heads of the main characters. I find this is an easier way to reveal the important stuff...the stuff that goes unsaid in normal life interactions. In order to do this one would use the "Omniscient Person Point of View". Here's a small explaintion I just googled/copied:
*****
Limited Omniscient Viewpoint
As I mentioned, true omniscient viewpoint is very rare, but limited omniscient is often useful for modern writers.
Limited omniscient basically means that while you have a God-like perspective of the story, you limit yourself to being in one character’s head at a time. It allows you to switch characters as many times as necessary, even within a scene.
Think about true omniscient POV as having a camera panning throughout the room at a party scene, dipping into anyone’s head and perhaps more than one person at a time, by taking on the collective group perspective. Then you can think about limited omniscient more like passing a camera around the room with each person filming their own POV of the story.
Also, with limited omniscient viewpoint, the head hopping is made easier on the reader by anchoring us firmly in one head;then show the transfer of POV by physical contact. So you might start the scene in Joe’s viewpoint as he speaks with Rick and Sally. When you want to switch over to Sally’s thoughts in the conversation, you might have Joe place his hand on her shoulder or direct a comment to her and use that opportunity to lead into her viewpoint.
*****
So,this combined with interesting dialogue makes it pretty easy to mine out all those feelings, fears, joys and such. And don't overlook what sr71pilot said; there needs to be tensions, conflicts and resolution to those conflicts. For example; In the incident you described, how did it make you feel when you were left alone with two guys? How did your girlfriend feel while abandoning you there? Maybe make up something about how the guys felt, etc. And how did you feel when it was all over? Readers want to see your characters pains and their joys...in this case, your pains/fears/joys. Good Luck
ETA: After reading this over I thought maybe a quick example might help. Here's a made-up snippet from your night with two men.
"She split," Adam said with a tinge of anger.
"What!" Jena exclaimed. What had just been the build up to a great night with Brad suddenly felt like being in the backseat during a car crash. A million thoughts tried to fill her mind all at the same time. Is Debbie safe...why would she leave me here all alone...should I go find her? The questions kept piling up until Brad's voice broke though the fog Jena's head was filled with.
"It's okay, dude. She just wasn't into it...no big deal. Come over here and sit with us," Brad said. Then turning to face Jena, he asked in a seductive tone," You wouldn't mind if Adam joined us would you?"
Hope this helps give you some ideas.
