00:02:22like any

00:02:22other joke but he forgot our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never

00:02:27involved humiliating someone in front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at

00:44:40same cocky smirk he always wore hands shoved in his jean pockets he strolled over like he was just

00:44:44there to watch the show the rest of the football team his accomplices followed behind him and so did

00:44:47sienna miller she was wearing a pink sundress her long hair flowing over her shoulders like every

00:45:11were so

00:45:12familiar but right now he was a complete stranger the eyes i once thought would protect me forever now

00:45:17only held mockery so how's the view from up there ellie he was still joking as if i wasn't a

00:46:04people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed

00:46:08with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak i just didn't

00:46:13know what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you put this betrayal into words

01:06:32show the rest of the football team his accomplices followed behind him and so did sienna miller she

01:06:35was wearing a pink sundress her long hair flowing over her shoulders like every strand of her hair

01:07:30off my face the pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me gasp when he saw my red

01:07:34swollen eyes

01:07:43said it

01:07:44so lightly as if this was just like any other joke but he forgot our old pranks never involved

01:07:52they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed with

01:07:56cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak i just didn't know

01:08:01what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you put this betrayal into

01:22:23someone in front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my

01:22:27throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i

01:22:31didn't want to speak i just didn't know what to say how do you question 16 years of friendship how

01:22:36do

01:22:36you put this betrayal into words my stare made him uncomfortable don't look at me like that it's creepy

01:22:40his darting eyes gave away his guilt savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool halloween

01:22:45prank video so we thought it's not a big deal you're fine right but i didn't make a sound i

01:22:49just gave leo one last look in that look was 16 years of friendship countless happy memories and

01:22:54in that moment it was over heard his voice behind hey eleanor vance where are you going stop being

01:22:58mad okay i didn't turn back my steps were shaky but firm every step felt like walking on knives but

01:23:02i

01:23:02couldn't stop if i stopped i was afraid i would break down i would sob uncontrollably right in front of

01:23:07him

01:23:07and if that happened i would have truly lost lost everything when i got home i went straight

01:23:12to the bathroom as i took off my clothes i saw the bruises and wentz covering my body they were

01:23:19horrifying i stood under the scalding water scrubbing my skin over and over trying to wash

01:23:24off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation trying to wash away every trace of leo but i couldn't

01:23:31the laughter still echoed in my ears the malicious stares still crawled on my skin

01:23:36and leo's careless words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind like a curse the hot

01:23:41water sting my wounds making me shiver but the pain was good it kept me lucid it reminded me that

01:23:46this wasn't a nightmare this was real leo really did use me as a toy to impress savannah

01:23:51my mom knocked on the door ellie you've been in there a while don't run up the water bill honey

01:23:56i turned off the shower coming out now my voice was so hoarse it didn't sound like my own mom

01:24:25antiseptic

01:24:26and started cleaning them bit by bit it hurt a piercing pain but it was nothing compared to the

01:24:31pain in my heart 16 years i'd known leo for 16 years our families lived on the same street our

01:24:37parents were old friends our moms went shopping together our dads had barbecues on weekends we

01:24:42were in the same class since kindergarten he cried his eyes out on the first day and i was the

01:24:46one who

01:24:47gave him a piece of chocolate after that he followed me around like a little shadow ellie wait for me

01:24:54ellie you can have this ellie we're gonna be together forever back then leo's eyes were so

01:24:59bright his smile so pure he was the troublemaker and i was the good girl who always listened when

01:25:04he got into trouble i covered him when the teacher asked who broke the classroom window i said it was

01:25:09me it was him practicing his baseball swing he hated studying so i tutored him before final exams i'd

01:25:15give him all my meticulously organized notes then i'd stay up all night making a new set for myself

01:25:19he used to say ellie you're the best i'm going to make you my bride someday i'd blush

01:25:23and say who would want to marry you but secretly my heart would flutter i thought we were best

01:25:28friends the closest partners i even secretly hoped for more i hoped that one day he would look at me

01:25:35seriously and say eleanor vars will you be my girlfriend but it turned out in his eyes i was

01:25:41just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted just a backup plan who would never leave to get
