My dad stepped on my xbox 360 while i was playing Grand Theft Auto 5 what should I do?

Ok so while I was playing gta 5 my dad accidentally stepped on my xbox 360. This caused the xbox 360 to make a loud running noise. I took the game out and found a new circular scratch on it. I turned off my xbox 360 then turned it on again and placed the disk in it. The game came on and I started playing it but not long after the screen went black and the game started to load my saved game again. Then something came up saying: alert The game was restarted due to a problem with the storage device where the game data was installed. Please replace the storage device and re-install the game data if issues continue to occur. I have my saved game saved on the memory built inside the xbox 360 and I don't really understand this. Also when I placed my newly destroyed gta 5 disk in, there was a strange clicking noise. Sometimes the disk couldn't be read. I tested all my other games, which were all saved on the memory in the xbox 360, and they worked just fine and there was no strange clicking noise. So is it just the gta 5 game because of the circular scratch and not the xbox 360? Also what should I do? My parents are buying me a new gta 5 game but I'm afraid it won't work. Is there anything that I should do about this? If so, can you tell me in great detail of what I should do? Your help would be very much appreciated. Also please don't tell me to just get a new xbox 360 cause that is not an option for me and don't tell me to send it to Microsoft or something cause I don't think that'll happen either.

    sounds like your dad pushed hard on the gta 5 disk whilst spinning in xbox. I had a similar problem with cod 4 years back it died a horrible death. hopefully just the is damaged, he might have damaged your xbox you won't know untill you get a new game try playing a dvd that might help you feel better if it works could be good signs it's just the disk, if not sad times :/ .

    Just the game disc is damaged, not the system. Those noises are common when the system is struggling to read a disc.
