Two Years After Her Ex-Boyfriend Passed Away, She Ran Into Him On The Street

Rachel had always been aware that searching for love can be a challenge; with its highs and lows, relationships can become beautiful but can be torn apart. However, she was never prepared for the sorrow she would face with the loss of her boyfriend, Alistair.

She thought that nothing could compare to her anguish after they had broken up but suddenly, he passed away. The profound grief Rachel felt was insurmountable. Shockingly, two years later, Rachel saw someone familiar walking the streets and an overwhelming feeling of disbelief came over her.

The Moment They Met

To understand Rachel’s tragic story, it’s important to know where it all began. Rachel was just a young 18-year-old girl working at a local bar to make some extra money. A student budget can be tight, and Rachel had found the perfect part-time job.

But the reason that it was perfect was not because of the money, but because it’s where she met 21-year-old Alistair who was working as a chef at the same bar. The pair hit it off instantly, and their relationship developed just like any other teenage romance.

It Was All Good, Until It Wasn’t

The beginning of Rachel and Alistair’s relationship was smooth sailing. When they weren’t working together, they were enjoying each other’s company elsewhere. Rachel describes Alistair as “really nice” during this phase of their relationship.

Then one day, everything changed and Alistair wasn’t his usual “nice” self. But you won’t believe what triggered the change.

Everything Went Downhill

All of a sudden, their young love took a turn for the worse. Alistair got involved in a fight during which he broke his hand. Despite claiming that the brawl wasn’t his fault, he lost his job. Without effective use of his hand, he was no use in the kitchen.

And without a job, Alistair had no money. To make ends meet, Alistair turned to Rachel to borrow money. As his loving girlfriend, Rachel lent him $1,000 to help her boyfriend get by.

But instead of getting by, he said “good-bye”…

He Couldn’t Pay Back the Money

As passionate as a teenage romance can be, it can also end in a flash. Alistair had found himself in a sticky situation, and Rachel had come to the rescue. After lending her boyfriend $1,000, the couple split up.

Rachel describes their break-up by saying, “It was not like anyone cheated or anything; there was nothing catastrophic.” After their break-up, Alistair paid back $300 of his debt to Rachel – but then he ghosted her.
