It's been 7 years since I started dating the man I thought was my forever, my everything. I originally met Nick a couple years before that through my boyfriend at the time, Brandon. I was in the midst of my pain pill addiction and it was getting hard to find. Nick occassionally got his hands on some so a handful of times I drove out towards the Columbia airport to procure some. He always met me past the entrance to the trailer park, out of sight of his then girlfriend Tina. That should have been a red flag there but I wasnt interested at that time so I didnt care. Some time went by and I had a new relationship with a local cab driver for about a year which ended with him moving to Santa Cruz and me taking over his lease. Nick, who was a dispatcher for that same cab company asked me to come to the cab shop to hang out. I spent an uneventful hour there then left. I wasnt interested in him quite yet, in fact he was an accomplice in a plan to steal my money....
