Speaker 1: This is a freaking lifetime movie. An next say he
Speaker 1: deserves an Oscar. He really deserves an Oscar.
Speaker 2: I'm like, am I lose? In my mind? I could
Speaker 2: believe it was happening to me.
Speaker 3: I'm Andrea Gunning and this is Betrayal, A show about
Speaker 3: the people we trust the most and the deceptions that
Speaker 3: change everything. Nancy grew up in Boston in the seventies.
Speaker 3: She was the youngest of three girls. From birth, she
Speaker 3: was deemed a medical miracle.
Speaker 1: When I was born, they told my mother that I'm
Speaker 1: going to die in three days because i have a
Speaker 1: pin hole in my heart and it's twisted. Now She's like,
Speaker 1: I don't think so she took me home. They toltally, well,
Speaker 1: she's gonna have to have open hot surgery by the
Speaker 1: time she's sighed. Didn't, well, she's gonna have to have
Speaker 1: at least by eighteen, and she's gonna die. Didn't I'm
Speaker 1: fifty five. I've never had open hot surgery.
Speaker 3: Because of her heart condition, her mother kept a close
Speaker 3: eye on her. Her activities were restricted. She wasn't even
Speaker 3: allowed to go to gym class in school. Family and
Speaker 3: teachers babied her, mostly because she was so small.
Speaker 1: I'm only four eleven, and when I was five years well,
Speaker 1: I think I actually have a picture. I looked like
Speaker 1: him too, so everybody treated me like I was the
Speaker 1: baby all the time.
Speaker 3: As a kid, Nancy went to the cardiologist every week
Speaker 3: for her heart condition. She wasn't scared about it, but
Speaker 3: she knew her mom was.
Speaker 1: I even remember being over her friend's house. We'd be
Speaker 1: playing with their children, and they'd be in the kitchen talking,
Speaker 1: drinking or whatever, and I would hear her crying and
Speaker 1: telling her friend, I'm so afraid that she's just gonna
Speaker 1: die on me one day. I never told her I
Speaker 1: heard that never.
Speaker 3: She surpassed medical expectations and grew up to be healthy,
Speaker 3: but doctors told her she wouldn't be able to have
Speaker 3: kids of her own. The entire experience made Nancy and
Speaker 3: her mom really close.
Speaker 1: I didn't hang out with friends on Saturday night. I
Speaker 1: hang out with my mother because she's just my best friend.
Speaker 1: Everybody who loved her because she was just down to earth.
Speaker 3: Early on in her life, Nancy saw that her father
Speaker 3: was treated differently than her mother.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, my mother and my father used
Speaker 1: to get pulled over a lot and the cost would
Speaker 1: ask my mother, is he hurting you? Because she's white?
Speaker 3: Her father was black, and other kids tease Nancy about
Speaker 3: having interracial parents.
Speaker 1: It's like, what's wrong with your mother? There's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with my mother. What are you talking about? My mother
Speaker 1: never paid attention to it. She said, if you pay attention,
Speaker 1: that's given them more energy to do what they're doing.
Speaker 3: When Nancy was a teenager, she met a boy in
Speaker 3: her neighborhood named Devon. He was always trying to catch
Speaker 3: her eye, so.
Speaker 1: I'm like, who is this person? And he was extremely handsome.
Speaker 3: One day, Devon brought her a present.
Speaker 1: So he heard that I love saft served and ELASTI
Speaker 1: with colored Jimmys. From that day on, we were together.
Speaker 3: She and Devon became high school sweethearts.
Speaker 1: We were a class couple, of course we were. We
Speaker 1: were together all the time. It was like nothing could
Speaker 1: come between us.
Speaker 3: Their plan was to be together forever, and to this day,
Speaker 3: Nancy still wishes they could have been, but tragedy derailed
Speaker 3: their future.
Speaker 1: I had heard that there was this extremely bad car accident,
Speaker 1: and I was in a school that sat up on
Speaker 1: a hill, so you could see, like the police cause
Speaker 1: and the ambulances all that. That looks like a really
Speaker 1: bad accident up there. Everybody knew but me. Nobody wanted
Speaker 1: to tell me because they were afraid to tell me.
Speaker 1: He was in that car accident.
Speaker 3: He was a passenger in the collision and they needed
Speaker 3: the jaws of life to pull him out of the car.
Speaker 1: And I found out the person who told me said
Speaker 1: he was in a car accident and he died. I
Speaker 1: passed out, woke up in the Narses office and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I didn't just hear what she said. The nurse said
Speaker 1: he wasn't a carson, but he's not dead. He was
Speaker 1: at a coma for three days. I went every day,
Speaker 1: waited in the room. Every day, wait in the room,
Speaker 1: talked to him.
Speaker 3: She was by his side when he woke up from
Speaker 3: the coma.
Speaker 1: But when he woke up, it was a different person,
Speaker 1: you know. They asked things like when's your birthday, what's
Speaker 1: your name? Who's the president? Things like that. He said
Speaker 1: his name was Robert something and he was born in
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 3: DeVaughn was never the same.
Speaker 1: After that. He started smoking cigarettes, never spoke, he was
Speaker 1: like completely against it. He started drinking, swearing and he
Speaker 1: was like mean sometimes and I'm like, who is this person.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, Okay, it's gonna get better. It's going
Speaker 1: to get better. That better.
Speaker 3: After his traumatic brain injury, it wasn't the same relationship.
Speaker 3: It was a lot for a seventeen year old to
Speaker 3: manage emotionally.
Speaker 1: I felt like he died in that. To me, he
Speaker 1: died in that accident.
Speaker 3: Nancy made the tough decision to leave Devon and focus
Speaker 3: on herself. She started her own life in Boston, working
Speaker 3: in the office of a stock brokerage. By her early twenties,
Speaker 3: she was living on her own and fully supporting herself.
Speaker 1: And a beautiful condo in my house was fully furnished.
Speaker 3: Every day, on her lunch break, Nancy chatted with a
Speaker 3: guy who worked outside her building.
Speaker 1: I worked in the financial district. It was always constructing
Speaker 1: going on at the Liberty Mutual building, and you know,
Speaker 1: the construction guys would do the cat calling when the
Speaker 1: girls walked by. But there was this one guy. He
Speaker 1: was just when he's having lunch. I'm going to lunch,
Speaker 1: he's at his lunch.
Speaker 3: His name was Marvin, and Marvin became a fixture in
Speaker 3: her day life, a friendly face that she felt comfortable with.
Speaker 1: And then he invited me to this club that he
Speaker 1: belonged to. It was like a dance club. It was
Speaker 1: like the Caribbean Cultural Club.
Speaker 3: He was Jamaican and Nancy's dad was from Cuba, so
Speaker 3: she was interested in Boston's Caribbean community.
Speaker 1: And I was like, guy and my friends have come
Speaker 1: part of this weekend. It's all right.
Speaker 3: That weekend, as promised, she and her friends stop by.
Speaker 3: It was a lively scene with music and dancing.
Speaker 1: So when I went into the club, I was expecting
Speaker 1: to see Marvin. I'm going to let him know that
Speaker 1: I did come for his invitation. And I never saw
Speaker 1: him that night at all.
Speaker 3: But she hardly noticed because she got distracted by a
Speaker 3: guy her age named Seth, and.
Speaker 1: He asked me to dance. I've danced to me, it's
Speaker 1: just the dance. I went to sit back down with
Speaker 1: my friends that continue were hanging out, and he asked
Speaker 1: me to dance again. Dance again.
Speaker 3: Seth wasn't exactly her type.
Speaker 1: Well then four eleven it is, because everybody's gonna be
Speaker 1: solid it. Yeah, he's six'.
Speaker 3: Three nancy and her friends decided to leave the party
