She was only 35 years old, but she felt lonely. Carol's love life hasn't been going well. She had no partner and she was determined to have one. She didn't know how to start but she would go looking for company.
She started going to parties with friends, she knew people of course, but found none to share her life with her.
But that did not stop her from continuing her search. One night she went out with a group of friends to party. She was very nice, everyone liked her, danced, drank without objecting to the quality of the drinks, and was lively for conversation.
Her personality caught the attention of a young man, a 20-year-old. Right away he took care of her, fetched her drinks, made jokes, and she celebrated. And so little by little she enveloped him and he became her partner without realizing it.
They lived happily… at least for a few months. See, Samuel wanted to keep partying and to go from one party to another, but he didn't want to take Carol with him all the time. Carol began to get anxious about those continuous outings and she told him "I don't want you to go out partying while I stay at home alone, waiting for you" he replied "I'm already fed up with this. I'm young, I have friends and I NEED to socialize. If that's not okay with you then we can just stop dating"
Carol apologized to him, so that they could keep their relationship, and told him not to part. She tried to adjust to him, but she couldn't. It was getting worse and now they were barely together.
That situation was modifying her, changed her little by little. She no longer shared with her friends and didn't want to go out.
She thought better of it and called her friends, they went out to dance and she drank her liquor, but the memory of Samuel always returned to her mind. Carol was just thinking about what he was doing now.
She left her friends and said she would return. She went looking for Samuel, and found him drinking with his friends. She asked him to go home with her and eventually, after some arguing, Samuel decides to go home with her, says goodbye to his friends and gets in the car with her driving her car.
He was very drunk and started touching her, she got upset and told him not to do it, she never liked those games, but he was very drunk and continued with the game. Carol stopped the car suddenly and yelled at him, to which he responded with a punch.
She got even more upset and yelled at him to get out of the car, yelled at him several times, to the point that Samuel was annoyed, he also yelled at her and said: "I'm done here, no more, this relationship is ending" and he got out of the car.
She left him and sped off in her car. Full of anger she went home, but her anger didn't subside... she took a gun that she kept in the attic, put the bullets in and went out into the street again. She started to look for Samuel, she assumed that he would return to the party with his friends so she went back there.
She rolled down the car window and called out to him, pleading “Samuel, Samuel come please” she kept saying that for a while and eventually Samuel left his friends. They told him to not go, to leave the "crazy woman" but he only told them to calm down and that he would be back. Once he approached the car window. She yelled at him from the inside "This is over when I say it is, and I say now, it's over" and shot him three times.
Samuel did not die there, he died in the hospital. Once Carl was caught and she was told that Samuel died she cried heartbrokenly, she didn't want him to die you see, but she was just drunk and full of hatred. Perhaps thinking that she would be alone again.
It was a bad decision at the beginning what started this relationship and it was a bad decision what ended it all.
