Houston Hell Trip/ Friendenemies
The story of Shanquella Robinson made me want to share this story. I have had many friendenemies. I wanted to share this story because it involves violence. In 2020 November I took a trip to Houston to meet a so-called friend. Her name is Christine, and I knew her from elementary through middle school (Aisa). She was always a problem. She was always unhinged, from what I remember but I overlooked it. In 2015 when I took her out in Miami, she displayed terrible behavior once again, but I overlooked it. In 2020 Christine and I had began talking again, she confided in me a lot, and once again here I was being a friend to a crazy horrible person.
I planned a trip to Houston and she wanted to come with me. While planning this trip I had paid for the hotel, and Christine agreed she would give me her bit later. The hotel was about $3000 plus, plus the deposit I made when I got to the hotel. Christine had offered up her mom's discount code for the hotel, which was only $20 or so. I paid the extra fee when I got to the hotel which was about $100, remember all these details. Planning this trip was hard because she was going back and forth and delaying the trip, she did not have any money to go on a trip she asked to be a part of. On the day I was to leave for Houston my stomach turned and I had a feeling not to leave, my brother did as well. But I ignored the signs and drove to the airport. I was to get to Houston the night before her, I am so glad I did too. I got into Houston around 9:00 PM and checked into the hotel, everything was peaceful, and the hotel staff was lovely and kind to me. The room was also clean and welcoming, the next morning when the monster came everything changed. Not only did she come in looking ratchet with ripped leggings and disheveled clothes, but she was loud, messy, and messed up the room the minute she came in.
I had a family friend in Houston, so I contacted him to go out and I took Christine along. A lot of other things happened during the day when this monster came but I'm just going to focus on this situation I am about to explain. We go out with my family friend who is like a cousin and we're having a good time in a lounge. We're having drinks and all, and Christine begins to act weird and give me glares. So I'm constantly checking in on her, “like are you good? Are you OK?” This girl starts to behave like a delinquent. She starts telling me to move out of my seat, she wanted me to let her sit next to my family friend. She then begins to fight me over him. She was fighting me over a family friend that is like my cousin!
She's acting crazy and throwing off the vibe, so he wants to leave and he was a bit upset. He drives to the hotel and tells her to get out of his car, this leads to her breaking down and she begins to cry. I understand where he was coming from, the whole night she was trying to kiss him and do the most. He wanted me to come back out with him but because I'm such a great friend I decide to stay in with her and make sure she calmed down. Biggest mistake of my life.
We get to the hotel room and this uncivil girl goes off on me. She's yelling at the top of her lungs for hours; I am talking for 4 plus hours. We got back to the hotel around 1:30 AM and she was screaming till 4:00 AM while smashing furniture in the hotel room. She threatened me and told me she is going to have my body dumped somewhere. She repeatedly kept saying that I was boujee and soft, and she was from the real hood side of Miami, like wtf she was not from the hood. She did all this because she thought she was in competition with me over a man who is like my cousin. I can't stand boy-crazy girls! Not to mention the jealousy she had towards my looks, clothes, etc. She clearly let me know how she felt about my looks during our time together.
Christine is also a bodybuilder, so she's huge compared to me. She was also extremely insecure about having muscle and being “darkskin”. This made no sense because she built those muscles, so surely she wanted to look like that. I'm only 5’2, and while she was threatening me I told her if she touched me or if any of the objects, she is throwing touched me I would call the police. I was not scared during this chaos, probably because I had my brother and friend on the phone to witness what was going on.
She panicked because she saw how serious I was. I was not backing down despite her threatening my life, she called the police. When she did this, she tried to run away from the hotel. The hotel staff wouldn’t let her leave. Mind you other people had been knocking on our door, complaining about the noise she was making. This was also my first experience with dealing with the police, I have never had a reason to before this situation. Once the police got to us, she was asked to leave the room and I stayed in the room. They questioned both of us, I explained everything to the police officer. Because she is crazy, this girl starts crying like she's the victim. Luckily for me, the hotel staff had seen her behavior and the police did not believe her. There was a reason she was asked to leave the room and not me, but she was too stupid to see that.
I booked a flight that morning and left Houston but before that, Christine tried to kick me out of my hotel room. She said because she gave me a discount code for the room it was hers! She gave me the code to help reduce her part of the bill, that’s how ill-prepared she was for the trip. The discount code only took out about $20 from the entire bill, while I paid the majority of the bill $2000 plus, plus the extra $100 or so when I got to the hotel. Isn't this laughable? Once I checked out and took my card off the room, she got a rude awakening and was kicked out. I am so glad I paid for the hotel room on my card. My initial plan was to give her all the money and she would go a day before me and pay.
This girl called her mom lied and told her I kicked her out of the hotel room! When I left, she was kicked out of the room, she was holding all her clothes in her hand while she foolishly stood in the lobby looking crazy. I saw this as I left in my Uber, I left around 5 am to catch my 6:30 am flight. Take red flags seriously and pink flags. I saw her character before, I was just too naive. I literally could have been harmed like Shanquella Robinson. Since then, I do not go on trips with friends from the past and I do not share rooms.
