00:22:53hours leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone finally leo arrived he still had that
00:22:59same cocky smirk he always wore hands shoved in his jean pockets he strolled over like he was just
00:23:03there to watch the show the rest of the football team his accomplices followed behind him and so did
00:23:06sienna miller she was wearing a pink sundress her long hair flowing over her shoulders like every

00:23:26to
00:23:26the goal post and looked up at me the setting sun cast a golden glow on his face the features
00:23:30were so
00:23:31familiar but right now he was a complete stranger the eyes i once thought would protect me forever
00:23:36now only held mockery so how's the view from up there ellie he was still joking as if i wasn't
00:23:41a
00:23:41person but a toy all right all right joke's over let's get her down he said it so casually like
00:23:46he
00:23:46was commenting on the weather a couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes no one cared
00:23:50if i would get hurt i crashed hard onto the grass the impact knocked the wind out of me and
00:23:55i felt
00:23:55like my lungs had collapsed every bone in my body ached i curled into a blob like a dying insect
00:24:00leo
00:24:00crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face the pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me
00:24:04gasped when he saw my red swollen eyes he paused for a second for a moment i thought i saw
00:24:09a flicker
00:24:09of regret i thought he would apologize what are you crying for it was just a prank we used to
00:24:14prank
00:24:14each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this was just like any other joke but
00:24:18he forgot
00:24:18our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never involved humiliating someone in
00:24:23front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt
00:24:27like it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to
00:24:31speak i just didn't know what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you put
00:24:36this betrayal into words my stare made him uncomfortable don't look at me like that it's
00:24:40creepy his darting eyes gave away his guilt savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool halloween

00:25:18horrifying i stood under the scalding water scrubbing my skin over and over trying to wash off
00:25:24the milkshake to wash off the humiliation trying to wash away every trace of leo but i couldn't
00:25:30the laughter still echoed in my ears the malicious stares still crawled on my skin and leo's careless
00:25:37words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind like a curse the hot water sting my wounds

00:44:49hours leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone finally leo arrived he still had that
00:44:56same cocky smirk he always wore hands shoved in his jean pockets he strolled over like he was just
00:44:59there to watch the show the rest of the football team his accomplices followed behind him and so did
00:45:03sienna miller she was wearing a pink sundress her long hair flowing over her shoulders like every

00:45:22the goal post and looked up at me the setting sun cast a golden glow on his face the features
00:45:27were so
00:45:28familiar but right now he was a complete stranger the eyes i once thought would protect me forever now
00:45:33only held mockery so how's the view from up there ellie he was still joking as if i wasn't a
00:45:38person

00:45:57and
00:45:58ripped the bandage off my face the pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me gasp when he
00:46:02saw

00:46:20people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed
00:46:24with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak i just didn't
00:46:29know what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you put this betrayal into words

00:47:31stares still crawled on my skin and leo's careless words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind

01:01:58wash off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation trying to wash away every trace of leo but i
01:02:04couldn't the laughter still echoed in my ears the malicious stares still crawled on my skin and leo's
01:02:11careless words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind like a curse the hot water sting my
01:02:16wounds
01:02:16making me shiver but the pain was good it kept me lucid it reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare

01:06:29like this after gym class i was just walking out of the equipment room when the football players
01:06:34surrounded me leo carter the boy next door i'd known my whole life was leading them
01:06:41leo knocked me unconscious and tied me to the goalpost of the football field for two whole
01:06:46hours leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone finally leo arrived he still had that
01:06:52same cocky smirk he always wore hands shoved in his jean pockets he strolled over like he was just
01:06:56there to watch the show the rest of the football team his accomplices followed behind him and so
01:06:59did sienna miller she was wearing a pink sundress her long hair flowing over her shoulders like every
01:07:03strand of her hair was glowing oh my god you guys actually did it that's insane the excitement she
01:07:08couldn't hide in her voice made my blood run cold so my pain was just her entertainment of
01:07:13course savannah asks savannah gets it was a gentle tone i had never heard from him before me he walked
01:07:19up to the goalpost and looked up at me the setting sun cast a golden glow on his face the
01:07:24features were
01:07:24so familiar but right now he was a complete stranger the eyes i once thought would protect
01:07:29me forever now only held mockery so how's the view from up there ellie he was still joking as if
01:07:34i
01:07:34wasn't a person but a toy all right all right joke's over let's get her down he said it so
01:07:39casually like
01:07:40he was commenting on the weather a couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes no one cared
01:07:44if i would get hurt i crashed hard onto the grass the impact knocked the wind out of me and
01:07:48i felt like
01:07:49my lungs had collapsed every bone in my body ached i curled into a blob like a dying insect leo
01:07:54crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face the pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me
01:07:58gasp
01:07:58when he saw my red swollen eyes he paused for a second for a moment i thought i saw a
01:08:03flicker of
01:08:03regret i thought he would apologize what are you crying for it was just a prank we used to prank
01:08:07each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this was just like any other joke but
01:08:11he forgot
01:08:12our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never involved humiliating someone in
01:08:16front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat
01:08:20felt like it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want
01:08:24to speak i just didn't know what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you

01:22:26my lungs had collapsed every bone in my body ached i curled into a blob like a dying insect
01:22:31leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face the pain of the tape tearing at my skin made
01:22:35me gasp when he saw my red swollen eyes he paused for a second for a moment i thought i
01:22:40saw a flicker
01:22:41of regret i thought he would apologize what are you crying for it was just a prank we used to
01:22:45prank
01:22:45each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this was just like any other joke but
01:22:49he forgot our
01:22:50old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never involved humiliating someone in front of
01:22:54hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt like
01:22:58it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak
01:23:03i
01:23:03just didn't know what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you put this betrayal
01:23:07into words my stare made him uncomfortable don't look at me like that it's creepy his darting eyes
01:23:12gave away his guilt savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool halloween prank video so we
01:23:17thought it's not a big deal you're fine right but i didn't make a sound i just gave leo one
01:23:21last look
01:23:22in that look was 16 years of friendship countless happy memories and in that moment it was over heard
01:23:26his voice behind hey eleanor vance where are you going stop being mad okay i didn't turn back my
01:23:30steps were shaky but firm every step felt like walking on knives but i couldn't stop if i stopped
01:23:35i was afraid i would break down i would sob uncontrollably right in front of him and if that
01:23:38happened i would have truly lost lost everything when i got home i went straight to the bathroom
01:23:44as i took off my clothes i saw the bruises and wentz covering my body they were horrifying i stood
01:23:51under the
01:23:51scalding water scrubbing my skin over and over trying to wash off the milkshake to wash off the
01:23:57humiliation trying to wash away every trace of leo but i couldn't the laughter still echoed in my ears
01:24:04the malicious stares still crawled on my skin and leo's careless words it was just a prank they
01:24:10replayed in my mind like a curse the hot water sting my wounds making me shiver but the pain was
01:24:15good
01:24:15it kept me lucid it reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare this was real leo really did use me
01:24:20as a
01:24:20toy to impress savannah my mom knocked on the door ellie you've been in there a while don't
01:24:26run up the water bill honey i turned off the shower coming out now my voice was so hoarse

01:24:36was wrong that was for the best i didn't want to explain how could i explain tell her that the
01:24:40person i trusted most in the world had betrayed me tell her i was tied up like a clown on

01:24:50pale
01:24:50my lips colorless the marks on my wrists were deep in a sickening shade of purple red like they were
01:24:54carved into my bones i took out the antiseptic and started cleaning them bit by bit it hurt a piercing
01:25:00pain but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart 16 years i'd known leo for 16 years

01:25:28back then leo's eyes were so bright his smile so pure he was the troublemaker and i was the good
01:25:34girl who always listened when he got into trouble i covered him when the teacher asked who broke the
01:25:39classroom window i said it was me it was him practicing his baseball swing he hated studying
01:25:44so i tutored him before final exams i'd give him all my meticulously organized notes then i'd stay
01:25:48up all night making a new set for myself he used to say ellie you're the best i'm going to

01:25:58thought we were best friends the closest partners i even secretly hoped for more i hoped that one day
01:26:05he would look at me seriously and say eleanor vars will you be my girlfriend but it turned out
01:26:11in his eyes i was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted just a backup plan who would
