00:00My boyfriend fucked my best friend right in front of me
00:03Because they thought I couldn't see
00:06But the jokes on them, I got my side back today
00:09I ran through the hospital, desperate to tell them
00:12Noah, my boyfriend
00:14And Olivia, my best friend
00:18Then I hit the lobby and stopped cold
00:21A group of nurses were huddled over a phone
00:24Then I saw the post
00:25My best friend lost her parents and went blind overnight
00:29I gave up my dream job in Paris to help her boyfriend take care of her
00:33Then I fell for him
00:34We've been hooking up in secret for three years
00:37I know I have to go
00:39If 100,000 people vote yes
00:42I'll leave after New Year's
00:43For good
00:44I froze
00:45I stared at the poster's profile picture
00:48It was Olivia
00:50I took that exact photo of her
00:52Right before I went blind
00:54The votes telling her to stay were ahead
00:57By 10,000
00:59I couldn't breathe
01:00The room spun
01:02For a second
01:03I wished I was still blind
01:05I had waited three years for this miracle
01:07But instead of joy
01:09All I felt was cold
01:10She loved that photo
01:12Kissed my face
01:13Baby, I'm keeping this till I'm 80
01:17Now she is using it to tear my life apart
01:19A tear hit the nurse's phone screen
01:22They looked up at me
01:25Messy, right?
01:26One nurse said
01:27Stay or leave
01:28Stay
01:30Easy
01:30No guy wants to spend his whole life with a blind girl
01:34That's just sad
01:36My hands shook at my sides
01:38She was right
01:40I was the blind girl
01:41The dead weight
01:42So he traded up
01:44I swallowed hard
01:45Forcing a hollow smile
01:47You're right
01:48No guy should be trapped
01:50Good for them
01:51I hope they stay together
01:54Let them have their happy ending
01:56Because I'm going to ruin it
01:59I walked out the sliding doors
02:01The winter wind hit my face
02:03There they were
02:04Noah and Olivia
02:07Noah and Olivia
02:08Rushing to pick me up
02:10But they stopped by his truck
02:12Noah's shoulders look broader now
02:14Stronger
02:16He wrapped his coat around Olivia
02:18They looked perfect together
02:20Olivia tried to pull away
02:23To come get me
02:24Noah grabbed her waist
02:25He pulled her heart against him
02:28He kissed her
02:29Deep and desperate
02:31Olivia kissed back
02:33Then pushed him off
02:34Glaring at him
02:35Stop it
02:37Someone might see us
02:38If I was still blind
02:39I'd never know
02:42They've been doing this
02:43Right in front of my dead eyes
02:44For three years
02:46I swallowed the bile in my throat
02:48And put on my sweetest voice
02:50Noah?
02:52Olivia?
02:53Is that you guys?
02:55Olivia latched onto my arm
02:57We were so worried about you
02:59Crazy day at the lab
03:01Noah chimed in
03:02Smooth as ice
03:03Sorry you had to do the eye check out alone, Elena
03:06What did the doctor say?
03:07He was talking to me
03:09But he was staring at her
03:11I crushed a clean medical report in my pocket
03:15Same as before
03:16I lied
03:17No change
03:18A flash of pure relief
03:20He had Noah's eyes
03:21He smiled
03:22Stroking my hair
03:24Don't worry
03:24You have us
03:26However long it takes
03:27We're not leaving
03:28Ten minutes ago
03:30His hands were all over Olivia
03:32Now
03:34He was playing the devoted boyfriend
03:36Olivia immediately wiped my cheek
03:39Elena
03:40Why are you crying?
03:42Elena
03:43Why are you crying?
03:45I forced a laugh
03:46The wind
03:48She instantly stripped off her coat
03:50And wrapped it around me
03:53Take this
03:54It's freezing
03:55Let's go get groceries
03:56Noah didn't miss a beat
03:58He took off his own jacket
04:00And draped it over Olivia's shoulders
04:02She slid her arms in
04:04Naturally
04:04Like they did it every day
04:06Three days until New Year's Eve
04:09We were at the supermarket
04:12Stocking up
04:13For our 18th holiday dinner together
04:16Olivia clowned to me
04:18Playing the perfect best friend
04:21Noah, grab more wings
04:22I'm making Elena's favorite
04:24Noah smiled at her
04:25Like she was the only girl in the world
04:28Already did
04:29I know what my girlfriend likes
04:32I glanced at the cart
04:34He had filled it with premium steaks
04:37Craft beers
04:38And imported snacks
04:40All the things Olivia loved
04:42My favorite food
04:44Was just an alibi
04:45A violent metal screech
04:47Ripped through the aisle above us
04:49A stack of heavy boxes
04:51Tipped off the top shelf
04:54He lunged past me
04:56Grabbed Olivia
04:57And yanked her out of the way
04:59Olivia, watch out
05:00The boxes slammed into me
05:02My head cracked against the metal shelf
05:04Pain exploded in my skull
05:09Are you hurt?
05:10Did it hit you?
05:12She clutched his shirt
05:13Breathless
05:15I'm okay
05:16Thank God you pulled me away
05:19They completely forgot I existed
05:23Until a horrified store clerk ran over
05:26Oh my God
05:28Miss, you're bleeding everywhere
05:29Call an ambulance
05:31Noah and Olivia finally spun around
05:35Their faces went pale
05:36They rushed over
05:38Suddenly remembering their lines
05:40Elena, why didn't you move?
05:42We're taking you to the ER
05:43Right now
05:45I gripped the shelf and shook my head
05:48No hospital
05:49I couldn't let a doctor check my eyes
05:52One look
05:53And Noah and Olivia
05:54Wouldn't know I could see
05:56I wasn't ready for that
05:58Not yet
05:59Just a clinic
06:01Please
06:02They panicked
06:04They panicked
06:04But they took me
06:06I got stitched up
06:07We went home
06:09This time
06:10I will reclaim everything that belongs to me
06:15The moment I walked in
06:16My chest tightened
06:18This was supposed to be my home with Noah
06:21Now it was Olivia's
06:24Their photos were on the walls
06:26Her flowers were on the balcony
06:28My plants were dead
06:30I felt like a stranger in their home
06:33Noah set me on the couch
06:36Elena, I'm so sorry about the boxes
06:39I should have protected you
06:41It's fine, Noah
06:44I lied
06:46He kissed my hand
06:48He leaped
06:48Just sit tight
06:49I'll make dinner
06:53He and Olivia went into the kitchen
06:55I could hear them giggling
06:58Flirting over the stove
07:00I pulled out my phone and checked her Reddit post
07:02100,000 votes for her to stay
07:0590,000 to leave
07:07It was time to pull back the curtain
07:11Subject
07:11Your girlfriend's poll
07:13Message
07:14A touching performance
07:17Sent
07:18Deleted
07:19Gone
07:20I looked at my phone screen
07:22And my heart felt as cold as an ice cream
07:24A moment later
07:26The giggling from the kitchen stopped
07:28The silence was heavy
07:31Angry whispers drifted from the bedroom
07:34I crept down the hall
07:35Through the cracked door
07:37I saw them
07:38Noah shelved his phone in her face
07:41The post was on the screen
07:43His voice was shaking
07:45What the hell is this, Olivia?
07:49What the hell is this, Olivia?
07:51You were planning to leave?
07:53Olivia dropped to the floor
07:55Sobbing
07:57Elena's gonna see again someday
07:58How could I ever look her in the eye?
08:01I'm just your side piece
08:04I can't do this anymore
08:06Noah dropped to his knees
08:08He pulled her into his chest
08:10He kissed away her tears
08:12Don't leave
08:13We love each other
08:14The doctor said Elena is years away from seeing
08:17She'll never know
08:19Look at the votes
08:21100,000 people want us together
08:24Are you just gonna ignore that?
08:26I stood in a dark hall
08:27If I was still blind
08:29This would be my life forever
08:31Trapped with a cheating boyfriend
08:33And a fake best friend
08:35Let fate decide
08:38If the votes for me to leave
08:39Hit 100,000 after New Year's
08:41I'm gone
08:43You belong to Elena
08:45Noah held her tighter
08:47His voice shaking
08:48Okay
08:50I just want you to be happy
08:54Even if it means losing you
08:56Salt tears slipped into my mouth
08:59I covered my lips
09:00And turned away
09:02On New Year's Eve
09:03I was still pretending to be blind
09:05For years
09:07The three of us had celebrated together
09:09Even after I lost my sight
09:11They never stopped making New Year feel special
09:14The first year
09:15I locked myself in my room
09:18And wished I were dead
09:20Olivia begged outside the door
09:22Noah climbed through the window
09:24Just to hold me
09:26Back then
09:27I believed they loved me
09:29This year
09:30We still sat around the same hot pot
09:33Noah on my left
09:34Olivia on my right
09:36One put food on my plate
09:38The other peeled shrimp for me
09:40Behind my back
09:42Their fingers were tightly clasped together
09:45After dinner
09:46We went out to the balcony
09:48For the fireworks
09:49Noah wrapped me in a heavy blanket
09:51He pulled me close
09:53Interlacing his fingers with mine
09:54Olivia held up her phone
09:57And snapped a photo of us
09:58What's that for?
10:00She forced a sad smile
10:03Memories
10:05For when I'm gone
10:06Noah's grip on my hand
10:07Instantly tightened
10:09Hard
10:10He almost broke my fingers
10:12He wasn't looking at me
10:13He was staring dead at Olivia
10:16I swallowed a gasp of pain
10:18I let my head low slightly to the side
10:21Slowing my breathing
10:22Playing the blind
10:24Sleepy fool
10:25One last time
10:27Elena?
10:28Noah whispered
10:29I didn't move
10:30He dropped my hand
10:31He walked over to Olivia
10:33I opened my eyes
10:36I opened my eyes
10:38Just a fraction
10:39He was kissing her
10:41Hard
10:42And desperate
10:43Right in front of me
10:45Don't leave
10:46He begged
10:47Olivia cried against his chest
10:50Do you remember our first kiss?
10:53Of course
10:53The day of Elena's parents' funeral
10:56In the coat room
10:57My parents' funeral
10:59I was blind
11:00Entirely alone
11:02Crying until I threw up
11:04And they were making out
11:06In the next room
11:08I beat my tongue
11:09Until I tasted blood
11:11Olivia checked her phone
11:12And gave Noah
11:13A strange smile
11:14It's 12.03
11:16The votes hit 100,000
11:18For me to leave
11:18I have to go
11:19She took a step back
11:21I stood up
11:22The blanket dropped
11:24To the cold floor
11:25You don't have to go
11:27Olivia
11:28You want him
11:29Don't you?
11:30They turned
11:30At the same time
11:31Both frozen
11:32I looked straight at them
11:34Then take him
11:37My voice made them both jump
11:39They turned in horror
11:40Elena
11:41When did you wake up?
11:44I never fell asleep
11:46I was awake the whole time
11:47Noah grabbed my shoulders
11:49You didn't hear anything, did you?
11:52Olivia forced a laugh
11:54The fireworks were loud
11:55You probably misunderstood
11:57I pulled my hands free
11:59And stepped back
12:00Dropped the act
12:01I heard everything
12:04And I saw everything
12:07The blood streamed from their faces
12:09They stopped breathing
12:11I watched you hold hands under the table
12:14I watched you shield her at the supermarket
12:17While I bled
12:18You thought you were so safe
12:23Cheating right in front of the useless blind girl
12:27Olivia covered her mouth
12:29Her hands shaking
12:30Your eyes?
12:32She gasped
12:33You can see?
12:36Since the hospital
12:39Noah finally snapped out of his shop
12:41And immediately stepped in front of Olivia
12:44Elena, wait
12:45He choked out
12:46It was all me
12:47I made the move
12:50Take it out on me
12:51Just leave her out of it
12:54Even now
12:55Called red-handed
12:56His very first instinct
12:58Was to protect his side piece
13:02Save the hero act, Noah
13:04We're done
13:07I turned to Olivia
13:09And you don't need to run away
13:11You threw away our friendship
13:12For a cheating loser
13:15Keep him
13:16I turned to walk inside
13:18Olivia dropped to her knees
13:21No, Elena, please
13:26I swear
13:27I'm leaving today
13:28I'll cut him off
13:30Just give him another chance
13:32I looked at Noah
13:33Standing there in silence
13:35Then at Olivia
13:37Crying at my feet
13:39If you leave, Olivia
13:41Do you really think everything will go back to normal?
13:44No
13:45He won't forget you
13:47He'll lie to me
13:48He'll find a way to go after you
13:52And one day he'll betray me all over again
13:54I pulled my hands out of her grip
13:57I don't want that ending
14:01I'll disappear
14:02I'll change my number
14:03He'll never find me
14:05Olivia was still crying at my feet
14:06We were best friends
14:08Before anything else
14:10Elena
14:11Please
14:13Please
14:13Please
14:14I looked straight at Noah
14:15Could you?
14:17Could you stay with me and never go after her?
14:20Never lie awake thinking about her?
14:24Never ask yourself if you chose the wrong woman?
14:28Noah clenched his jaw
14:30He opened his mouth
14:31But nothing came out
14:32He couldn't do it
14:34He couldn't even lie to my face anymore
14:36I let out
14:37A hush
14:38Hello laugh
14:39My chest
14:40Was tearing open
14:42But I kept my voice steady
14:43Even if you could, Noah
14:45I still wouldn't stay
14:47The second I saw you two together
14:49Whatever I felt for you died
14:51I finally looked down
14:53At Olivia
14:54I peeled her fingers off my wrists
14:56One by one
14:57You were my sister, Olivia
15:00But you ruined it
15:01So keep the memories
15:02And keep the guy
15:05We are done
15:08Olivia collapsed to the floor
15:10Sobbing uncontrollably
15:13I didn't look back
15:14I grabbed one bag from the bedroom
15:16And walked out
15:17I left everything else behind
15:20Neither of them tried to stop me
15:23I got into a cab
15:25Through the radio mirror
15:26I could see Noah standing on the balcony
15:28From the freezing room
15:29Watching me leave
15:31On New Year's Day
15:33I went back to my parents' graves
15:35I hadn't been there in three years
15:37The weeds were overgrown
15:40I cleared them out
15:41Then I sat there and talked
15:43Until my throat closed up
15:46No boyfriend
15:48No best friend
15:49No parents
15:51I leaned against my mother's tombstone
15:54Mom
15:57I still don't understand
15:58Why did the people who loved me most
16:01Hurt me the deepest?
16:07Three years ago
16:08The crash took everything from me
16:11My dad died at the scene
16:13In the backseat
16:14My mom threw herself over me
16:16To shield me
16:17We were both rushed into surgery
16:19She was gone too
16:22I survived
16:23Blind
16:24And completely alone
16:25Back then
16:27All I did was cry
16:29But Noah never left my side
16:32He cried his finance job
16:33He went to work
16:35At a medical lab
16:36Just to get me
16:37On their trial lists
16:38You still have me
16:40He promised
16:41Olivia was overseas
16:43When she heard
16:43She cried over the phone
16:45Quit her job
16:46And flew straight back to me
16:50I told her not to throw her future away from me
16:53She wouldn't listen
16:56Nothing matters more than you right now Elena
16:59I'll stay with you until you're okay
17:02For a long time
17:03I really believed I was lucky
17:06Lucky to have a boyfriend like Noah
17:09Lucky to have a best friend like Olivia
17:13If they hadn't stayed with me back then
17:16I might not have survived any of it
17:19That's what makes us hurt so much
17:21I'm still grateful for
17:23Everything they gave up for me
17:25But I can pretend their betrayal never happened
17:29Every time I think about it
17:31It turns my stomach
17:32So I left
17:33I nailed in front of the tombstones
17:36The cold wind biting my face
17:39Did I do the right thing mom?
17:41I didn't regret leaving
17:43But the guilt was suffocating
17:45I owed them my life
17:47But thinking about them made me sick
17:49Every good memory was ruined
17:52I just wanted to disappear
17:55A gust of wind hit my face
17:58Then I heard footsteps behind me
18:00I froze
18:02Elena
18:09Elena
18:09Noah, out of breath
18:11I knew you'd come here
18:12I didn't even turn around
18:14I pushed myself up from the cold dirt
18:17My numb legs gave out
18:19I stumbled
18:21Are you okay?
18:22Did you skip breakfast?
18:24Is it your blood sugar?
18:28Don't touch me, Noah
18:29I shoved his hand off me
18:31Your concern makes me sick
18:35I told you
18:36We're over
18:38I don't want to see you
18:39And I don't want you anywhere near my parents' graves
18:44Don't ever come here again
18:46Noah slowly dropped his hands
18:48He looked destroyed
18:52Olivia is gone
18:54Her flight left three hours ago
18:56He held out an envelope
18:58She wanted you to have this
19:01I tore it open
19:02Inside was an odd photo
19:05Just me and Olivia
19:07Smiling in high school
19:09Noah had taken the picture
19:12I didn't blink
19:13I ripped the photo in half
19:15The ninja quarters
19:16I opened my hand
19:18And let the pieces fall right at his feet
19:21Noah dropped to his knees in the dirt
19:24He slammed his forehead against the cold tombstone
19:27I stared at him
19:29My voice was flat and hollow
19:31I planned our whole life in the dark, Noah
19:34Marriage
19:35Kids
19:37Growing old
19:39I imagined too much
19:43Because when I finally opened my eyes
19:45The first thing I saw was her post
19:49And the life you two had built behind my back
19:53He stopped and looked at me
19:55His eyes left
19:56Elena
19:57I'm sorry
19:59I'm not someone you can trust with your life
20:02Is it too late?
20:04Have I disappointed you that much?
20:09You can still go after Olivia
20:12If you really want to
20:14You'll find her
20:17That's not why I came back
20:19Elena, we still have a chance, don't we?
20:22Everything you said
20:23Our future
20:24Our life
20:25We can still have it
20:27Just give me one chance, please
20:31Maybe he really did regret it
20:33But I had already chosen to move on

20:36I said softly
20:37There's no going back
20:39I can't love you anymore
20:41So give me back my peace
20:44Okay
20:44A tear slipped on his face
20:46I understand
20:50After that
20:51We never saw each other again
20:53And on the road ahead
20:55I kept moving forward
20:56I never saw each other
20:56I kept moving forward
20:57¡Gracias!
