What was your "I dodged a bullet" moment?

This was a few years back, but I literally dodged a few bullets.

I had broken up with this girl and she began dating a drug dealer. This dude had some major pull and even walked around with a bodyguard.

Few weeks after the break-up, my ex calls me. Next thing you know, we're hooking up in my car. This goes on for almost 2 months. There was even one night where I fucked her on his bed and helped myself to some free coke and oxy pills.

Here's where shit gets crazy. Turns out me and this dealer have a friend in common. The 3 of us meet one day and he offers me a job. Tells me to think about it and to get back to him if I'm still interested.

I get back to him a few days later and we do our 1st job together. The weekend is coming up, and he calls me. Tells me he wants to meet up, tells me the directions and says he's gonna pick me up once I'm there. No other info given. So I'm a bit nervous, but say fuck it and tell him I'd be there.

I'm about to get into my car and leave when he texts me that we're no longer meeting. I ask what happened but he just replies with " We don't need you anymore". Now I'm even more nervous but I don't bother replying back. He doesn't call or text after that. Went as far as changing his number, so I never heard from him since, and I moved on.

A few months after that, me and the ex bump into each other at a party. We're catching up and flirting, and I ask her if she's still dating the dealer. That's when she tells me how close I came to dying. Turns out one of his runners spotted me and the girl together and told the dude. He confronts her about it, and she tells him we hooked up once ( she lied obviously, and thankfully never mentioned me going to his house).

When he had called me to meet up that night, they were gonna wait for me to show up so that they could snatch me, bring me down to the woods and put 2 bullets in the back of my head and ditch my body there. My ex somehow convinced him to not go through with it, and it worked. I owe my life to that bitch ( we hate each other now, but that's a different story)

TL;DR: Fucked my ex, who was dating a drug dealer. He found out and planned to murder me, until said ex convinced him not to.
