It's the sort of story that could only appear on TikTok

A TikToker has shared an astounding dating story from her past on the platform, in which she found out that a boy she had dated and thought was dead turned out to actually be alive and well. TikTok user k.jewel5 told the story of how when she was 14 she started dating a guy and had a long-distance relationship with him. However six months into their relationship, they had a 'big fight' and as a result didn't speak for three days. She then got a call saying that her boyfriend had been stabbed and was in hospital. The 20-year-old then got a heartbreaking phone call saying that he had passed away. Well it turns out this wasn't the case. See the video below, which has racked up over 10 million views...

In a later video, k.jewel5 revealed that she had cried after seeing the picture of her e-boyfriend and his new partner, saying that they looked "so happy" together. On the surface this story is baffling but the more you think about it the more heartbreaking it is. The TikToker admitted that her grief from the news seven years ago had "affected every relationship" she had been in since. She decided to contact him but sadly he hasn't got back in touch with her to explain how and why she was allowed to believe that he was dead for so long.

An explanation is the least she deserves surely.
