Wow, Holly, that is terrible. Did he survive? Was it a robbery, hate crime, vendetta, or random act of violence? I am sorry you had to go through that. And of course I am really sorry for the guy!I had quite a few boyfriends as a teen... but the one that sticks in my mind is the one who got stabbed in the back as he was saying goodnight to me as we waited for my bus home... !![]()
Sorry to hear that! Definitely unforgettable! Did he die, or was he just seriously wounded?I had quite a few boyfriends as a teen... but the one that sticks in my mind is the one who got stabbed in the back as he was saying goodnight to me as we waited for my bus home... !![]()
It was an act of violence, nothing more than that.. apparently. ( he survived)Wow, Holly, that is terrible. Did he survive? Was it a robbery, hate crime, vendetta, or random act of violence? I am sorry you had to go through that. And of course I am really sorry for the guy!
Nine months wasn't long enough. Your boyfriend could have died!It was an act of violence, nothing more than that.. apparently. ( he survived)
The thing is this was a bad side of town..opposite side of the city to where we lived. We were 17 it was very dark we were inside the bus shelter waiting for the bus to take me home.. the boyfriend lived directly opposite the bus stop..
We were hugging, and this guy entered the shelter, and my BF's back was to him.. and I was facing him. In seconds.. he'd pulled a knife out and stabbed my BF and ran ..
I didn't realise he'd used a knife, I thought he'd punched him.. and BF fell against me, and with the street light shining on us I could see the the blood had drained from his face .
Fortunately his house was just opposite so we got an ambulance very quickly.. the knife had missed vital organs by a fraction of an inch.
As it turned out the BF knew the assailant, and he was arrested.. and I had to go to court as a witness, and the assailant was jailed for 9 months..
Yes I know Pinks, and especially as this thug was from a big family of thugs who were in and out of prison all the time .. but that's what he got.. and that wasn't the end of the story either.. but I'll refrain from taking this thread off topicNine months wasn't long enough. Your boyfriend could have died!
I am horrified. You must've been too at that moment. Had you ever seen violence in real life before up close like that?It was an act of violence, nothing more than that.. apparently. ( he survived)

Only in my own family.....I am horrified. You must've been too at that moment. Had you ever seen violence in real life before up close like that?
