More details to this question:
I was involved in a hit and run in Colorado. No one was injured, it was just a bump so no there was really no damage. I stopped gave the guy my insurance information. I apologized he said it was ok. We drove off together and suddenly he decides to go into a parking lot. The only problem is that he didn't tell me to follow him or anything and since it wasn't big I thought there was no need to call the police. He told the police that I didn't want to cooperate with him and that, that is when I ran off in my car but that is inaccurate. I'm 18 and I don't have a drivers license.

The police are likely to investigate and, if they have not already, they will charge you with various crimes. Some crimes, like leave the scene of an accident, are more serious than other crimes. You then will have to report to criminal court and deal with an assistant district attorney. In addition, you (or any applicable insurance policy) may be liable for any damage caused to his vehicle. All of these items need to be discussed with a good criminal defense attorney wherever you may be located.
