Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
12. Bad Batch
You told me that it tasted funny. I remember you calling me and you were driving and you were like, this stuff tastes different. Did you guys do anything different to it? And I said, nope, it's the same shit that we've had for however long. Like nothing's changed. And I think you tasted mine at one point. You were like, yeah, yours tastes normal. Cause we had the same stuff.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
12. Bad Batch
So it should have been exactly the same. And I was like, it's the same dude. I don't know what to tell you. It's not like it was a new batch or we had mixed it with something different or anything like that. Like it was, it was the same. It was the same for like a month. I didn't get sick. Nobody else got sick that I know of. It was just Jake. And I thought it was so weird.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
12. Bad Batch
Like why all of a sudden what was in it that could make him so sick. It was the same stuff he was doing, you know, the week before and there were no effects from it. I asked other people if anybody had bad side effects and everybody was like, no, it's the same as it has been.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
12. Bad Batch
For a really long time. I carried a ton of guilt because I'm the one that sold him the stuff that made him so sick. So for so long, I was like, I killed this kid. I can't believe, like, I still have like a really hard time with that.

9: Signed, Sealed, Silenced
And as Adrian puts it, best luck, worst luck. Ever. All the time. He has the best luck and the absolute worst luck. It's like something bad will happen and then he'll come out on top somehow and it'll be a miracle. Jake was drowning in medical debt.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
I liked him right away, pretty much. He was just a cool, funny, goofy kid. And Jake's mom was really sick at the time, so we were hanging out a lot. It was kind of back and forth, I think, for a little while while they were still together slash kind of not together.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
And then eventually they were not together. I don't know. What else am I supposed to say?
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
You know, I think it was difficult while his mom was alive, too, because she was very sick, and that's really hard to see. I mean, he lost his mom. That changes someone a lot. A lot.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
He was still just as goofy and funny and always liked to be with people and have parties and do all sorts of things like that. But you could tell he was sad, depressed, and then the drinking and the drugs really took off after that. It got worse. pretty bad for a little while in there. Partying was always part of our life, whether it was like a Tuesday or a Saturday.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
We would work a lot, we would come home, we would probably start drinking and doing whatever else. Jake always cooked dinner, which was wonderful. He was an amazing chef, still is an amazing chef. A day in the life is hard to remember. It's all crazy and blurry. Like, we had been smoking weed since high school. We did pretty much every other drug... too.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
Whether we were partying or having a party at his mom's house or something like that, there was always something more than weed there. I was selling pills for a little while. That's how Jake and I kind of started hanging out again after high school. At a point, Jake started selling pills. He used to sell the Oxys and then you got Perk, the Perk 30s.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
So I left for a little while, came home, started seeing Jake again. And he had been doing pills the whole time. And then I started doing them and I would like go out to a concert on the weekends and stuff. And then there was a point that you just become physically dependent on it. And it goes from there.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
And then I think we ended up getting into heroin because the person we were getting pills from got arrested for like the 600th time. And we couldn't get them anymore. They were just kind of gone and very, very, very expensive. And heroin was not. We traveled a lot. We used to go down to Florida to see his uncle that lived down there.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
And of course, there was a lot of drinking and a lot of partying. And we always brought pills with us because we had to. Atlantic City was another place that we would go a lot for lots and lots of concerts. Those are always crazy. There was one time, I forget what birthday it was, but it was one of Jake's birthdays. And there was 14 of us that just took a limo down to Atlantic City.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
It was like a ridiculous car ride. We had a nitrous tank that was just like on the floor of the limo. There was so much alcohol, so many other party drugs, like the ride down. was an entire party in and of itself. Got to the hotels. We invited the limo driver to come and party with us for the night. We tripped. And I remember like a rose gold bathroom that was all rose gold mirrors.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
And it was super crazy and a ton of fun. And then we took the limo home like the next day or something like that. But it was just like consistent partying. It was definitely a great time, but super out of control at the same time.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
I think we were very good together, and I also think it was chaos because we were into drugs. That's like a whole lifestyle in itself. It kind of controls everything that you do. But I think our relationship was really, really good. Drugs put a damper on things, but as a whole, I think our relationship was really great. We always had nice places. But we bounced around a lot.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
Sometimes it was money. Sometimes it was a really crappy landlord that we had. And then towards the end, it was just like we were running out of money at the end. Even even with like supplementing it with selling on the side, it's just that takes over your whole life. There's no unless you're like a millionaire. You'll probably burn through that at some point too, though.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
You know, it's an expensive lifestyle. You're almost in survival mode when you are addicted to drugs like that. So that was a way for me to make sure that I was all set, was moving to Worcester. I went to Worcester for drugs pretty much because it was an easier way. It's out of necessity. That's when we broke up.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
Jake was really angry for a few months, which is totally understandable because I was a jerk at that point in my life. So I don't think we talked for like, I remember it being like three or four months. But then, yeah, we started talking again and were friendly again after that.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
3: Wayward Son
I remember the very first time he told me that he was seeing someone. I remember him being like, yeah, she rides a motorcycle. She's cool. She wears a leather jacket. It seemed kind of like they were happy. It just kind of progressively got a little bit weirder. Something's off about this girl. Very two-faced, very manipulative.

5: Making Peace with Death
So there were a couple times that Ellen texted me asking me for heroin. And I always thought it was the weirdest thing because I never thought that she was into it. She hated so much that Jake did it. It was very well known that she did not approve of that. I remember one time she texted me. She was like, I'm sick. I really need something. Could you help me out?
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
I don't even know if I answered her, to be honest.
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
It was so crazy because she didn't let anybody near him. Nobody knew what was going on. Ellen cut every single person out of his life. She was in control of everything. It was so weird to me because it's like someone who...
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
is in the situation that Jake's in like they're so sick they're on and off life supporting measures they're in and out of consciousness and like having family around is one of the best things you can do having familiar people talk to them and hold their hand it was so weird to me that she wouldn't want to have anything familiar for him that is a cruel thing to do to somebody
Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
5: Making Peace with Death
And there are people that wanted to see him and wanted to know where he was. And she just, nope, nothing.

Oh, she didn't say she was sleeping so hard. I'm not sure she was sleeping.

Episode 292
Oh, because when Dad was trying to wake her up, she didn't wake up. That's why she had to drag her to the couch. And that's how I saw the blood. OK.
Sword and Scale
Episode 292
Well, I don't know why, but at least I know when my mom got a big booboo on her head, then when... Dad can't wake her. Dad couldn't wake her up since she was snoring. Also, she had never snored before. And Dad was going to wake her up into the couch because she got... She also got the dead dirty with her blood on her head. That's why she couldn't do it. So she was sleeping so hard.

Episode 292
Oh yeah, she had never did that. That's how Dad figured out something was wrong with her. Then she saw that was the blood in her hair.
Sword and Scale
Episode 292
I stayed in the bathroom with grandma since she didn't want me to step in blood. She called 911 and she also called the ambulance. She also called the ambulance so mom could go in the hospital. And that's why Dad did it early because Mom has to go do her hospital work this morning.

Then I saw Dad went to jail for some reason. I don't know why. Oh, okay.
