00:23:10of course savannah asks savannah gets it was a gentle tone i had never heard from him before me
00:23:16he walked up to the goal post and looked up at me the setting sun cast a golden glow on
00:23:21his face
00:23:21the features were so familiar but right now he was a complete stranger the eyes i once thought
00:23:26would protect me forever now only held mockery so how's the view from up there ellie he was still
00:23:31joking as if i wasn't a person but a toy all right all right joke's over let's get her down
00:23:36he said it so casually like he was commenting on the weather a couple of his teammates clumsily untied
00:23:41the ropes no one cared if i would get hurt i crashed hard onto the grass the impact knocked
00:23:45the wind out of me and i felt like my lungs had collapsed every bone in my body ached i
00:23:49curled into
00:23:50a blob like a dying insect leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face the pain of the
00:23:54tape
00:23:54tearing at my skin made me gasp when he saw my red swollen eyes he paused for a second for
00:23:59a moment i thought
00:24:00i saw a flicker of regret i thought he would apologize what are you crying for it was just
00:24:04a prank we used to prank each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this was
00:24:08just like any
00:24:08other joke but he forgot our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never
00:24:13involved humiliating someone in front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at
00:24:17him saying nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out
00:24:21it wasn't that i didn't want to speak i just didn't know what to say how do you question 16
00:24:25years
00:24:26of friendship how do you put this betrayal into words my stare made him uncomfortable
00:24:30don't look at me like that it's creepy his darting eyes gave away his guilt savannah said yesterday
00:24:34she wanted to film a cool halloween prank video so we thought it's not a big deal you're fine right
00:24:39but i didn't make a sound i just gave leo one last look and that look was 16 years of
00:24:43friendship
00:24:43countless happy memories and in that moment it was over heard his voice behind hey eleanor vance
00:24:48where are you going stop being mad okay i didn't turn back my steps were shaky but firm every step

00:24:52like walking on knives but i couldn't stop if i stopped i was afraid i would break down i would
00:24:56sob
00:24:56uncontrollably right in front of him and if that happened i would have truly lost lost everything
00:25:01when i got home i went straight to the bathroom as i took off my clothes i saw the bruises
00:25:07and
00:25:08wentes covering my body they were horrifying i stood under the scalding water scrubbing my skin
00:25:13over and over trying to wash off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation trying to wash away
00:25:19every trace of leo but i couldn't the laughter still echoed in my ears the malicious stares still
00:25:26crawled on my skin and leo's careless words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind like a
00:25:31curse

00:45:28untied the ropes no one cared if i would get hurt i crashed hard onto the grass the impact knocked
00:45:33the
00:45:33wind out of me and i felt like my lungs had collapsed every bone in my body ached i curled
00:45:37into a blob like a dying insect leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face the pain of
00:45:42the
00:45:42tape tearing at my skin made me gasp when he saw my red swollen eyes he paused for a second
00:45:47for a moment
00:45:47i thought i saw a flicker of regret i thought he would apologize what are you crying for it was
00:45:51just a prank
00:45:52we used to prank each other all the time he said it so lightly as if this was just like
00:45:56any other
00:45:56joke but he forgot our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity they never involved
00:46:01humiliating someone in front of hundreds of people they were never this cruel i stared at him saying
00:46:05nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't
00:46:09that i didn't want to speak i just didn't know what to say how do you question 16 years of
00:46:14friendship
00:46:14how do you put this betrayal into words my stare made him uncomfortable don't look at me like that
00:46:18it's creepy his darting eyes gave away his guilt savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool
00:46:23halloween prank video so we thought it's not a big deal you're fine right but i didn't make a sound
00:46:28i
00:46:28just gave leo one last look in that look was 16 years of friendship countless happy memories and in
00:46:33that moment it was over heard his voice behind hey eleanor vance where are you going stop being mad
00:46:37okay i didn't turn back my steps were shaky but firm every step felt like walking on knives but i
00:46:41couldn't stop if i stopped i was afraid i would break down i would sob uncontrollably right in front of
00:46:45him
00:46:45and if that happened i would have truly lost lost everything when i got home i went straight
00:46:51to the bathroom as i took off my clothes i saw the bruises and wentz covering my body they were
00:46:57horrifying i stood under the scalding water scrubbing my skin over and over trying to wash
00:47:03off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation trying to wash away every trace of leo but i couldn't
00:47:09the laughter still echoed in my ears the malicious stares still crawled on my skin
00:47:15and leo's careless words it was just a prank they replayed in my mind like a curse the hot
00:47:20water sting my wounds making me shiver but the pain was good it kept me lucid it reminded me that
00:47:25this wasn't a nightmare this was real leo really did use me as a toy to impress savannah

01:06:26he always wore hands shoved in his jean pockets he strolled over like he was just there to watch the
01:06:30show the rest of the football team his accomplices followed behind him and so did sienna miller she
01:06:33was wearing a pink sundress her long hair flowing over her shoulders like every strand of her hair

01:07:14couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes no one cared if i would get hurt i crashed hard onto
01:07:19the grass the impact knocked the wind out of me and i felt like my lungs had collapsed every bone
01:07:24in
01:07:24my body ached i curled into a blob like a dying insect leo crouched down and ripped the bandage
01:07:28off my face the pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me gasp when he saw my red
01:07:32swollen eyes
01:07:33he paused for a second for a moment i thought i saw a flicker of regret i thought he would
01:07:37apologize
01:07:38what are you crying for it was just a prank we used to prank each other all the time he
01:07:42said it so
01:07:42lightly as if this was just like any other joke but he forgot our old pranks never involved destroying
01:07:47someone's dignity they never involved humiliating someone in front of hundreds of people they were
01:07:51never this cruel i stared at him saying nothing my throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton
01:07:55i couldn't get a single word out it wasn't that i didn't want to speak i just didn't know what
01:07:59to
01:07:59say how do you question 16 years of friendship how do you put this betrayal into words my stare made
01:08:04him uncomfortable don't look at me like that it's creepy his darting eyes gave away his guilt
01:08:09savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool halloween prank video so we thought it's not a big deal

01:08:47water scrubbing my skin over and over trying to wash off the milkshake to wash off the humiliation
01:08:54trying to wash away every trace of leo but i couldn't the laughter still echoed in my ears
01:09:00the malicious stares still crawled on my skin and leo's careless words it was just a prank
