02:32each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this was just like any other joke but
02:36he forgot
02:37our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never involved humiliating someone in front
02:41of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt like
02:45it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak

23:20her down
23:21he said it so casually like he was commenting on the weather a couple of his teammates clumsily untied
23:25the ropes no one cared if i would get hurt i crashed hard onto the grass the impact knocked the
23:30wind out of me and i felt like my lungs had collapsed every bone in my body ached i curled
23:34into a blob like a dying insect leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face the pain of
23:39the
23:39tape tearing at my skin made me gasp when he saw my red swollen eyes he paused for a second
23:44for a
23:44moment i thought i saw a flicker of regret i thought he would apologize what are you crying for it
23:48was
23:48just a prank we used to prank each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this
23:52was just like
23:53any other joke but he forgot our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never
23:57involved humiliating someone in front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at
24:02him saying nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word
24:05out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak i just didn't know what to say how do you question
24:1016 years
24:11of friendship how do you put this betrayal into words my stare made him uncomfortable don't look
24:15at me like that it's creepy his darting eyes gave away his guilt savannah said yesterday she wanted
24:20to film a cool halloween prank video so we thought it's not a big deal you're fine right but i
24:24didn't
24:24make a sound i just gave leo one last look in that look was 16 years of friendship countless
24:29happy memories and in that moment it was over heard his voice behind hey eleanor vance where

24:37like walking on knives but i couldn't stop if i stopped i was afraid i would break down i would
24:41sob uncontrollably right in front of him and if that happened i would have truly lost lost everything
24:46when i got home i went straight to the bathroom as i took off my clothes i saw the bruises
24:52and
24:52wentz covering my body they were horrifying i stood under the scalding water scrubbing my skin
24:58over and over trying to wash off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation trying to wash away every
25:04trace of leo but i couldn't the laughter still echoed in my ears the malicious stares still crawled
25:11on my skin and leo's careless words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind like a curse
25:17the hot
25:17water sting my wounds making me shiver but the pain was good it kept me lucid it reminded me that
25:22this
25:22wasn't a nightmare this was real leo really did use me as a toy to impress savannah my mom knocked

45:53steps were shaky but firm every step felt like walking on knives but i couldn't stop if i stopped
45:57i was afraid i would break down i would sob uncontrollably right in front of him and if that happened
46:01i
46:01would have truly lost lost everything when i got home i went straight to the bathroom as i took off
46:08my
46:08clothes i saw the bruises and went covering my body they were horrifying i stood under the scalding
46:14water scrubbing my skin over and over trying to wash off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation
46:21trying to wash away every trace of leo but i couldn't the laughter still echoed in my ears
46:27the malicious stares still crawled on my skin and leo's careless words it was just a prank they
46:33replayed in my mind like a curse the hot water sting my wounds making me shiver but the pain was
46:37good it kept me lucid it reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare this was real leo really did
46:42use me as a toy to impress savannah my mom knocked on the door ellie you've been in there a
46:48while
46:48don't run up the water bill honey i turned off the shower coming out now my voice was so hoarse
46:54it didn't sound like my own mom must have gone to her book club because she didn't notice anything was
46:59wrong that was for the best i didn't want to explain how could i explain tell her that the
47:03person i trusted most in the world had betrayed me tell her i was tied up like a clown on
47:07the
47:07school's goalpost no i couldn't bring myself to say it the girl in the mirror was a mess my face
47:12was
47:12pale my lips colorless the marks on my wrists were deep in a sickening shade of purple red like they
47:17were carved into my bones i took out the antiseptic and started cleaning them bit by bit it hurt a
47:22piercing pain but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart 16 years i'd known leo for 16
47:28years
47:28our families lived on the same street our parents were old friends our moms went shopping together
47:33our dads had barbecues on weekends we were in the same class since kindergarten he cried his eyes out
47:38on the first day and i was the one who gave him a piece of chocolate after that he followed
47:44me around
47:44like a little shadow ellie wait for me ellie you can have this ellie we're gonna be together forever
47:51back then leo's eyes were so bright his smile so pure he was the troublemaker and i was the good
47:56girl who always listened when he got into trouble i covered him when the teacher asked who broke the
48:01classroom window i said it was me it was him practicing his baseball swing he hated studying
48:06so i tutored him before final exams i'd give him all my meticulously organized notes then i'd stay up
48:11all night making a new set for myself he used to say ellie you're the best i'm going to make
48:15you my
48:16bride someday i'd blush and say who would want to marry you but secretly my heart would flutter i thought
48:21we were best friends the closest partners i even secretly hoped for more i hoped that one day he
48:28would look at me seriously and say eleanor vars will you be my girlfriend but it turned out in his
48:34eyes i was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted just a backup plan who would never leave
48:39to get savannah's attention he didn't hesitate to tie me to a goal post to make me the laughing stock
