Starting point is 00:00:00 So when I was in eighth grade, I became friends with a girl named Rachel. She was your average girl next door type, didn't try hard to be pretty, wasn't annoying to talk to, never bothered talking to boys. We've all known the type. Over the course of the year, we began getting more and more acquainted. Being a chubby, awkward 14-year-old boy, this was my first experience being genuine friends with a girl that I had similar interests with. So after a while, I guess you could say I was developing a little bit of a crush on her. I don't know how she felt about me, but it was obvious she at least enjoyed my company. Looking back, it was definitely an important kind of relationship to have had at that age. Over the summer, we kept in touch and she really wanted to hang out and do things with me.
Starting point is 00:00:49 After a while, she'd invited me to hang out at her house. Now obviously, I was hyped to hang out at a girl's house, but was all over. also extremely nervous. My parents were slightly unsure about it, but after meeting Rachel's mom and stepdad they were more than okay with me hanging out there. It was a fun time, we'd play Halo on the OG Xbox, watch R-rated movies. Looking back, it really was a wholesome few weeks of my summer before high school. Her parents loved me as well, it was sort of becoming like a home away from home. But everything changed when her adult sister, Ali, moved in with them. I'd heard stories about Ali for a while, she was a bit unhinged. In and out of jail slash rehab,
Starting point is 00:01:35 multiple attempts on her own life. Just one of those older siblings that was constantly fucking their life up. This past incident that caused her to live with them was she broken up with her boyfriend, whom she was living with, and had nowhere else to go. When Ali started living with with them, the whole vibe of their house changed dramatically. It'd be clouded up with cigarette smoke, people would be over there drunk and high all the time. I know it was putting a strain on the mom and stepdad's relationship. Since I was some young awkward boy hanging out with her little sister, she and her friends just love to harass me and make me feel uncomfortable asking me sexual questions and shit
Starting point is 00:02:14 like that, just to embarrass Rachel by doing so. It didn't bother me, I just thought they were weird. But things were definitely different, and while I didn't entirely care, it was making me more hesitant to be there. So one day, Rachel texts me asking if I can come over. Their mom and stepdad were gone at work all day, and Allie was arguing with her ex-boyfriend. I'm not certain, but I'm guessing it was the same one she had just moved away from. Obviously, I jump at the opportunity to come in and save her from her simply awful day. At this point my parents didn't even bother making sure if her parents were home, they were just glad to get me out of the house.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I come in and she's just sitting on the couch, all bummed out while Allie and her ex are quietly arguing in the next room. So we decide to go out for a little bit of a walk. She lived in a fairly nice neighborhood, lots of parks and stuff like that nearby, so we had plenty of places to wander off to. We end up going to this lake by her house, skipping stones and chasing ducks and stuff. You know, just kid things. After a while, she tells me how I was the only guy at school who wasn't creepy towards her, and I tell her she was the only girl who wasn't mean to me. We just stand there smiling at each other for a moment, we were too innocent to know what to do next. It was honestly a really cute memory, the closest my life had ever gotten to one of those cheesy teen romance movies.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But all good things must come to an end eventually. After about an hour, she decides we should go back home, since she's certain that Ali and her ex are done arguing by now. I'm thinking, hell yeah. This is how I'll have my first kiss. Just anxious teenager thoughts. We were a good few blocks away from her house, and as we're walking I vividly remember seeing an ambulance speeding past us in the opposite direction, and I also vividly remember not thinking anything of it. In the business, we call this foreshadowing.
Starting point is 00:04:17 It took us a few minutes before we reached her street, which had one of those big hedge-wall things so we couldn't see anything until we got all the way up to the corner. As soon as we turned on her street and towards her house, Rachel just stops dead in her tracks and lets out a quiet gasp. I look over at her and see she's visibly bothered, so then look over at what she's looking at, almost a dozen police cars and several ambulances surrounding her house.
Starting point is 00:04:43 All the neighbors out in their yards looking at all the commotion. You know how at the end of horror movies where the cops finally show up and the heroes are all hanging out in the back of an ambulance wrapped in blankets and they're all happy to be alive. It was something like that, except there was no happy ending, and there were no blankets. As we approached her house, we noticed that there was blood literally all over the street and sidewalk. It led from her front door all the way to the neighbor's house across the street. It was everywhere.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Once we get there, the cops start talking to us and asking like who we are and everything. We still have no idea what the fuck happened, but we see Allie sitting in the driveway, wearing nothing but a bra and pajama pants and blood all over her hands. Just casually smoking a cigarette like she was waiting for the bus. She had the most vacant look on her face that still haunts me. So as it turns out. Shortly after we left to go on our cute little walk, Allie's ex got fed up with her and, understandably, told her that he was going to leave. Ali didn't appreciate that, so she went into the kitchen and grabbed a frying pan with one hand, a butcher knife in the other, and just, started swinging at him.
Starting point is 00:06:00 smashing his head in with one hand, slicing him into ribbons with the other. Apparently at one point he lifted his hand up to try and block her, and she sliced halfway through it. Somehow he managed to get away, stumbling out of the house and over to the neighbors. By the time we got there he was already being rushed to the hospital, deaf in that ambulance we saw speeding away, so I didn't actually see him and the damage done, but boy did I see his blood. In a way, I think not seeing him made it even more gruesome. So for the next hour, we're all standing out in the driveway while the cops and forensics
Starting point is 00:06:37 etc. go through the house, collecting evidence and everything. Ali tried saying it was self-defense, but also straight up admitted everything. Like I said, she was unhinged. That's how I know everything that happened, because I literally heard her tell them everything. I remember just standing there, not even knowing what to think. I don't think any of them knew what to think either. I was expecting this day to go a completely different direction. After a while, they end up putting Allie in handcuffs and carting her off to jail.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Her mom wasn't even upset or worried or anything, just extremely annoyed. I called my parents and had them pick me up, and awkwardly told them what happened. Spoiler alert, they were not pleased and that was the last time they let me go over to Rachel's house. She ended up moving away shortly after, anyway. I have no idea what happened to her or the rest of her family, but I hope they've all found peace in their lives somehow. The funniest thing to me is just the point in my life that it happened. If it had happened to me today, or at any point in the last decade or so, it definitely would have been just as wild of a story, but being such such a a young innocent kid experiencing his first time hanging out with a girl, it just makes the whole
Starting point is 00:07:55 thing much, much funnier. To me, anyway, that's just how I cope with dramatic shit. Now, I'm sure you're probably wondering, O.P., why the fuck are you telling us about something terrible that happened almost 20 years ago? Well, I'm glad you asked. I'd completely forgotten all about this. I went on with my life and never once thought about that horrifically awkward day in my adolescence. Sadly, I'd completely forgotten about Rachel and everything about her. Until the other day I was doom-scrolling on Facebook and glanced at one of those police station posts sharing a story about an arrest.
Starting point is 00:08:34 A guy killed somebody and his girlfriend helped him dispose of the body. Real nasty stuff. When I saw their mugshots, I literally shat bricks. It was none other than Allie. At least this time around she was helping her. boyfriend kills someone instead of just trying to kill him, so I'm glad she's been making progress. So yeah. It's wild how we just bury insane memories from our youth until one day something just unearths it all. TLDR I went to a girl's house expecting my first kiss and left her house as a
Starting point is 00:09:07 witness to an attempted homicide. Life in Florida can be funny sometimes. The end.
