Transcript

00:00:04When I woke up, I was a prop in their prank, zip-tied to the goalpost on the school's football

00:00:08field.

00:00:09Students walking by laughed at me, filmed TikToks, and someone even threw a milkshake at me.

00:00:14I was tied up in front of everyone for two whole hours, when my best friend Leo finally showed up.

00:00:20Savannah said she wanted to see a real-life horror movie prank, so we just played a little joke.

00:00:26Ellie, you're not actually mad, are you?

00:00:28We grew up together. You know me better than anyone.

00:00:32I just stared at him silently. I guess my dignity was just something to be sacrificed for someone else's entertainment.

00:00:39I transferred schools the next day, and Leo lost his fucking mind.

00:00:43Please, Ellie, it was just a prank. Don't be like this.

00:00:47After gym class, I was just walking out of the equipment room when the football players surrounded me.

00:00:53Leo Carter, the boy next door I'd known my whole life, was leading them.

00:00:59Leo knocked me unconscious, and tied me to the goalpost of the football field, for two whole hours, leaving me

00:01:05to be watched and mocked by everyone.

00:01:07Finally, Leo arrived. He still had that same cocky smirk he always wore.

00:01:11Hands shoved in his jean pockets. He strolled over like he was just there to watch the show.

00:01:15The rest of the football team, his accomplices, followed behind him.

00:01:19And so did Savannah Miller. She was wearing a pink sundress, her long hair flowing over her shoulders, like every

00:01:25strand of her hair was glowing.

00:01:26Oh my god, you guys actually did it! That's insane!

00:01:29The excitement she couldn't hide in. Her voice made my blood run cold.

00:01:32So my pain was just her entertainment?

00:01:34Of course. Savannah asks, Savannah gets.

00:01:36It was a gentle tone. I had never heard from him before me.

00:01:39He walked up to the goalpost and looked up at me.

00:01:41The setting sun cast a golden glow on his face.

00:01:43The features were so familiar, but right now, he was a complete stranger.

00:01:46The eyes I once thought would protect me forever, now only held mockery.

00:01:50So how's the view from up there, Ellie?

00:01:53He was still joking, as if I wasn't a person, but a toy.

00:01:57All right, all right. Joke's over. Let's get her down.

00:02:01He said it so casually, like he was commenting on the weather.

00:02:04A couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes.

00:02:07No one cared if I would get hurt.

00:02:09I crashed hard onto the grass.

00:02:11The impact knocked the wind out of me, and I felt like my lungs had collapsed.

00:02:15Every bone in my body ached.

00:02:17I curled into a ball, like a dying insect.

00:02:20Leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face.

00:02:23The pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me gasp.

00:02:26When he saw my red, swolled eyes, he paused for a second.

00:02:30For a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of regret.

00:02:33I thought he would apologize.

00:02:35What are you crying for? It was just a prank.

00:02:37We used to prank each other all the time.

00:02:39He said it so lightly, as if this was just like any other joke.

00:02:42But he forgot.

00:02:43Our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity.

00:02:46They never involved humiliating someone.

00:02:47In front of hundreds of people, they were never this cruel.

00:02:50I stared at him, saying nothing.

00:02:52I couldn't get a single word out.

00:02:54It wasn't that I didn't want to speak.

00:02:56I just didn't know what to say.

00:02:58How do you question 16 years of friendship?

00:03:00How do you put this betrayal into words?

00:03:03My stare made him uncomfortable.

00:03:05Don't look at me like that. It's creepy.

00:03:06His darting eyes gave away his guilt.

00:03:09Savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool Halloween prank video,

00:03:13so we thought,

00:03:13It's not a big deal. You're fine, right?

00:03:16But I didn't make a sound.

00:03:18I just gave Leo one last look.

00:03:20In that look was 16 years of friendship.

00:03:22Countless happy memories.

00:03:24And in that moment, it was over.

00:03:26Hey, Eleanor Vance, where you going?

00:03:27I heard his voice behind me.

00:03:29Stop being mad, okay?

00:03:30I didn't turn back.

00:03:31My steps were shaky, but firm.

00:03:33Every step felt like walking on knives.

00:03:36But I couldn't stop.

00:03:37If I stopped, I was afraid I would break down.

00:03:40I would sob uncontrollably right in front of him.

00:03:42And if that happened, I would have truly lost.

00:03:45Lost everything.

00:03:49When I got home, I went straight to the bathroom.

00:03:52As I took off my clothes,

00:03:53I saw the bruises and welts covering my body.

00:03:56They were horrifying.

00:03:57I stood under the scalding water,

00:03:59scrubbing my skin over and over,

00:04:01trying to wash off the milkshake

00:04:03to wash off the humiliation,

00:04:05trying to wash away every trace of Leo.

00:04:08But I couldn't.

00:04:09The laughter still echoed in my ears.

00:04:11The malicious stares still crawled on my skin.

00:04:14And Leo's careless words,

00:04:16It was just a prank.

00:04:17They replayed in my mind like a curse.

00:04:20The hot water stung my wounds,

00:04:22making me shiver.

00:04:23But the pain was good.

00:04:24It kept me lucid.

00:04:26It reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare.

00:04:28This was real.

00:04:30Leo really did use me as a toy to impress Savannah.

00:04:34Ellie, you've been in there a while.

00:04:37Don't run up the water bill, honey.

00:04:41Coming out now.

00:04:43My voice was so hoarse,

00:04:44it didn't sound like my own.

00:04:46Mom must have gone to her book club,

00:04:48because she didn't notice anything was wrong.

00:04:51That was for the best.

00:04:52I didn't want to explain.

00:04:54How could I explain?

00:04:55Tell her that the person I trusted most in the world

00:04:58had betrayed me?

00:05:00Tell her I was tied up like a clown

00:05:02on the school's goalpost?

00:05:04No, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

00:05:06The girl in the mirror was a mess.

00:05:08My face was pale,

00:05:09my lips colorless.

00:05:10The marks on my wrists were deep

00:05:13and a sickening shade of purple-red

00:05:15like they were carved into my bones.

00:05:17I took out the antiseptic and started cleaning them.

00:05:20Bit by bit, it hurt.

00:05:22A piercing pain.

00:05:23But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

00:05:2716 years.

00:05:27I'd known Leo for 16 years.

00:05:30Our families lived on the same street.

00:05:32Our parents were old friends.

00:05:34Our moms went shopping together.

00:05:35Our dads had barbecues on weekends.

00:05:38We were in the same class since kindergarten.

00:05:40He cried his eyes out on the first day,

00:05:42and I was the one who gave him a piece of chocolate.

00:05:45After that, he followed me around like a little shadow.

00:05:49Ellie, wait for me!

00:05:51Ellie, you can have this!

00:05:53Back then, Leo's eyes were so bright,

00:05:55his smile so pure.

00:05:56He was the troublemaker.

00:05:58And I was the good girl who always listened.

00:06:01When he got into trouble,

00:06:02I covered for him.

00:06:03When the teacher asked who broke the classroom window,

00:06:06I said it was me.

00:06:08It was him,

00:06:09practicing his baseball swing.

00:06:10He hated studying, so I tutored him.

00:06:13Before final exams,

00:06:14I'd give him all my meticulously organized notes.

00:06:18Then I'd stay up all night making a new set for myself.

00:06:21He used to say,

00:06:22Ellie, you're the best.

00:06:24I'm gonna make you my bride someday.

00:06:26I'd blush and say,

00:06:27Who would want to marry you?

00:06:29But secretly, my heart would flutter.

00:06:31I thought we were best friends,

00:06:33the closest partners.

00:06:34I even secretly hoped for more.

00:06:36I hoped that one day,

00:06:37he would look at me seriously and say,

00:06:39Eleanor Vance,

00:06:40will you be my girlfriend?

00:06:41But it turned out,

00:06:43in his eyes,

00:06:44I was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted.

00:06:47Just a backup plan who would never leave.

00:06:49To get Savannah's attention,

00:06:51he didn't hesitate to tie me to a goal post.

00:06:54To make me the laughingstock of the whole school.

00:06:57To trample all over my dignity.

00:07:15When I woke up,

00:07:16I was a prop in their prank,

00:07:18zip tied to the goal post on the school's football field.

00:15:47Like every strand of her hair was glowing.

00:15:49Oh my god, you guys actually did it!

00:15:51That's insane!

00:15:52The excitement she couldn't hide in.

00:15:53Her voice made my blood run cold.

00:15:55So my pain was just her entertainment?

00:15:57Of course.

00:15:58Savannah asks,

00:15:59Savannah gets.

00:15:59It was a gentle tone.

00:16:00I had never heard from him before me.

00:16:02He walked up to the goal post

00:16:03and looked up at me.

00:16:04The setting sun cast a golden glow on his face.

00:16:06The features were so familiar.

00:16:07But right now,

00:16:08he was a complete stranger.

00:16:09The eyes I once thought would protect me forever

00:16:11now only held mockery.

00:16:13So how's the view from up there, Ellie?

00:16:16He was still joking.

00:16:17As if I wasn't a person,

00:16:19but a toy.

00:16:20Alright, alright.

00:16:21Joke's over.

00:16:22Let's get her down.

00:16:24He said it so casually.

00:16:25Like he was commenting on the weather.

00:16:27A couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes.

00:16:30No one cared if I would get hurt.

00:16:32I crashed hard onto the grass.

00:16:33The impact knocked the wind out of me.

00:16:35And I felt like my lungs had collapsed.

00:16:38Every bone in my body ached.

00:16:39I curled into a ball,

00:16:41like a dying insect.

00:16:42Leo crouched down

00:16:43and ripped the bandage off my face.

00:16:46The pain of the tape tearing at my skin

00:16:48made me gasp.

00:16:49When he saw my red, swolled eyes,

00:16:51he paused for a second.

00:16:53For a moment,

00:16:54I thought I saw a flicker of regret.

00:16:56I thought he would apologize.

00:16:58What are you crying for?

00:16:59It was just a prank.

00:17:00We used to prank each other all the time.

00:17:02He said it so lightly,

00:17:03as if this was just like any other joke.

00:17:04But he forgot.

00:17:06Our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity.

00:17:08They never involved humiliating someone.

00:17:10In front of hundreds of people,

00:17:11they were never this cruel.

00:17:13I stared at him, saying nothing.

00:17:15I couldn't get a single word out.

00:17:17It wasn't that I didn't want to speak.

00:17:19I just didn't know what to say.

00:17:21How do you question 16 years of friendship?

00:17:23How do you put this betrayal into words?

00:17:26My stare made him uncomfortable.

00:17:28Don't look at me like that.

00:17:28It's creepy.

00:17:29His darting eyes gave away his guilt.

00:17:32Savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool Halloween prank video,

00:17:35so we thought,

00:17:36it's not a big deal.

00:17:37You're fine, right?

00:17:39But I didn't make a sound.

00:17:40I just gave Leo one last look.

00:17:42In that look was 16 years of friendship.

00:17:45Countless happy memories.

00:17:46And in that moment,

00:17:48it was over.

00:17:49Hey, Eleanor Vance, where are you going?

00:17:50I heard his voice behind me.

00:17:52Stop being mad, okay?

00:17:53I didn't turn back.

00:17:54My steps were shaky, but firm.

00:17:56Every step felt like walking on knives.

00:17:59But I couldn't stop.

00:18:00If I stopped,

00:18:01I was afraid I would break down.

00:18:03I would sob uncontrollably right in front of him.

00:18:05And if that happened,

00:18:06I would have truly lost.

00:18:08Lost everything.

00:18:12When I got home,

00:18:13I went straight to the bathroom.

00:18:14As I took off my clothes,

00:18:16I saw the bruises and welts covering my body.

00:18:18They were horrifying.

00:18:20I stood under the scalding water,

00:18:22scrubbing my skin over and over.

00:18:24Trying to wash off the milkshake,

00:18:26to wash off the humiliation.

00:18:28Trying to wash away every trace of Leo.

00:18:31But I couldn't.

00:18:32The laughter still echoed in my ears.

00:18:34The malicious stares still crawled on my skin.

00:18:37And Leo's careless words,

00:18:39It was just a prank.

00:18:40They replayed in my mind like a curse.

00:18:42The hot water stung my wounds,

00:18:44making me shiver.

00:18:46But the pain was good.

00:18:47It kept me lucid.

00:18:49It reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare.

00:18:51This was real.

00:18:53Leo really did use me as a toy to impress Savannah.

00:18:56Ellie, you've been in there a while.

00:19:00Don't run up the water bill, honey.

00:19:04Coming out now.

00:19:06My voice was so hoarse,

00:19:07it didn't sound like my own.

00:19:09Mom must have gone to her book club

00:19:11because she didn't notice anything was wrong.

00:19:14That was for the best.

00:19:15I didn't want to explain.

00:19:17How could I explain?

00:19:18Tell her that the person I trusted most in the world

00:19:21had betrayed me?

00:19:23Tell her I was tied up like a clown

00:19:25on the school's goalpost?

00:19:26No, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

00:19:29The girl in the mirror was a mess.

00:19:31My face was pale,

00:19:32my lips colorless.

00:19:34The marks on my wrists were deep

00:19:35and a sickening shade of purple-red

00:19:37like they were carved into my bones.

00:19:40I took out the antiseptic

00:19:42and started cleaning them.

00:19:43Bit by bit,

00:19:44it hurt.

00:19:45A piercing pain.

00:19:46But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

00:19:4916 years.

00:19:50I'd known Leo for 16 years.

00:19:52Our families lived on the same street.

00:19:55Our parents were old friends.

00:19:56Our moms went shopping together.

00:19:58Our dads had barbecues on weekends.

00:20:01We were in the same class since kindergarten.

00:20:03He cried his eyes out on the first day

00:20:05and I was the one who gave him a piece of chocolate.

00:20:09After that,

00:20:09he followed me around like a little shadow.

00:20:12Ellie, wait for me!

00:20:14Ellie, you can have this!

00:20:16Back then,

00:20:16Leo's eyes were so bright,

00:20:18his smile so pure.

00:20:19He was the troublemaker.

00:20:21And I was the good girl who always listened.

00:20:23When he got into trouble,

00:20:25I covered for him.

00:20:26When the teacher asked who broke the classroom window,

00:20:29I said it was me.

00:20:31It was him,

00:20:32practicing his baseball swing.

00:20:33He hated studying,

00:20:34so I tutored him.

00:20:36Before final exams,

00:20:37I'd give him all my meticulously organized notes.

00:20:41Then I'd stay up all night making a new set for myself.

00:20:44He used to say,

00:20:45Ellie, you're the best.

00:20:47I'm gonna make you my bride someday.

00:20:48I'd blush and say,

00:20:50Who would want to marry you?

00:20:51But secretly,

00:20:52my heart would flutter.

00:20:54I thought we were best friends,

00:20:55the closest partners.

00:20:57I even secretly hoped for more.

00:20:59I hoped that one day,

00:21:00he would look at me seriously and say,

00:21:02Eleanor Vance,

00:21:03will you be my girlfriend?

00:21:04But it turned out,

00:21:05in his eyes,

00:21:06I was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted.

00:21:10Just a backup plan who would never leave.

00:21:12To get Savannah's attention,

00:21:14he didn't hesitate to tie me to a goal post.

00:21:17To make me the laughing stock of the whole school.

00:21:19To trample all over my dignity.

00:21:38When I woke up,

00:21:39I was a prop in their prank,

00:21:40zip tied to the goal post on the school's football field.

00:21:44Students walking by laughed at me,

00:21:46filmed TikToks,

00:21:47and someone even threw a milkshake at me.

00:21:48I was tied up in front of everyone for two whole hours,

00:21:51when my best friend,

00:21:53Leo,

00:21:53finally showed up.

00:21:54Savannah said she wanted to see a real-life horror movie prank,

00:21:57so we just played a little joke.

00:22:00Ellie,

00:22:01you're not actually mad,

00:22:02are you?

00:22:03We grew up together.

00:22:04You know me better than anyone.

00:22:06I just stared at him silently.

00:22:08I guess my dignity was just something to be sacrificed

00:22:11for someone else's entertainment.

00:22:13I transferred schools the next day,

00:22:15and Leo lost his fucking mind.

00:22:17Please, Ellie,

00:22:18it was just a prank.

00:22:20Don't be like this.

00:22:22After gym class,

00:22:23I was just walking out of the equipment room,

00:22:25when the football players surrounded me.

00:22:27Leo Carter,

00:22:28the boy next door I'd known my whole life,

00:22:31was leading them.

00:22:33Leo knocked me unconscious,

00:22:35and tied me to the goal post of the football field,

00:22:37for two whole hours,

00:22:39leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone.

00:22:41Finally,

00:22:42Leo arrived.

00:22:43He still had that same cocky smirk he always wore,

00:22:46hands shoved in his jean pockets,

00:22:47he strolled over like he was just there to watch the show.

00:22:50The rest of the football team,

00:22:51his accomplices,

00:22:52followed behind him.

00:22:53And so did Savannah Miller.

00:22:55She was wearing a pink sundress,

00:22:57her long hair flowing over her shoulders,

00:22:58like every strand of her hair was glowing.

00:23:00Oh my god,

00:23:01you guys actually did it!

00:23:02That's insane!

00:23:03The excitement she couldn't hide in.

00:23:05Her voice made my blood run cold.

00:23:06So my pain was just her entertainment?

00:23:08Of course.

00:23:09Savannah asks,

00:23:10Savannah gets.

00:23:11It was a gentle tone.

00:23:12I had never heard from him before me.

00:23:13He walked up to the goal post,

00:23:14and looked up at me.

00:23:15The setting sun cast a golden glow on his face.

00:23:17The features were so familiar,

00:23:19but right now,

00:23:19he was a complete stranger.

00:23:20The eyes I once thought would protect me forever,

00:23:22now only held mockery.

00:23:25So how's the view from up there, Ellie?

00:23:27He was still joking,

00:23:28as if I wasn't a person,

00:23:30but a toy.

00:23:32Alright, alright.

00:23:33Joke's over.

00:23:34Let's get her down.

00:23:35He said it so casually,

00:23:37like he was commenting on the weather.

00:23:39A couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes.

00:23:41No one cared if I would get hurt.

00:23:43I crashed hard onto the grass.

00:23:45The impact knocked the wind out of me,

00:23:47and I felt like my lungs had collapsed.

00:23:49Every bone in my body ached.

00:23:51I curled into a ball,

00:23:52like a dying insect.

00:23:54Leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face.

00:23:57The pain of the tape tearing at my skin

00:23:59and made me gasp.

00:24:01When he saw my red, swolled eyes,

00:24:03he paused for a second.

00:24:04For a moment,

00:24:05I thought I saw a flicker of regret.

00:24:07I thought he would apologize.

00:24:09What are you crying for?

00:24:10It was just a prank.

00:24:11We used to prank each other all the time.

00:24:13He said it so lightly,

00:24:14as if this was just like any other joke.

00:24:16But he forgot.

00:24:37My stare made him uncomfortable.

00:24:39Don't look at me like that.

00:24:40It's creepy.

00:24:41His darting eyes gave away his guilt.

00:24:44Savannah said yesterday

00:24:47so we thought,

00:24:48it's not a big deal.

00:25:47still crawled on my skin.

00:25:48And Leo's careless words,

00:25:50It was just a prank.

00:25:52They replayed in my mind like a curse.

00:25:54The hot water stung my wounds,

00:25:56making me shiver.

00:25:57But the pain was good.

00:25:59It kept me lucid.

00:26:00It reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare.

00:26:03This was real.

00:26:45The marks on my wrists were deep

00:26:47and a sickening shade of purple-red

00:26:49like they were carved into my bones.

00:26:51I took out the antiseptic and started cleaning them.

00:26:54Bit by bit, it hurt.

00:26:56A piercing pain.

00:26:58But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

00:27:0116 years.

00:27:02I'd known Leo for 16 years.

00:27:04Our families lived on the same street.

00:27:06Our parents were old friends.

00:27:08Our moms went shopping together.

00:27:10Our dads had barbecues on weekends.

00:27:45He hated studying,

00:27:46so I tutored him.

00:27:47Before final exams,

00:27:49I'd give him all my meticulously organized notes.

00:27:52Then I'd stay up all night

00:27:54making a new set for myself.

00:27:55He used to say,

00:28:57filmed TikToks,

00:29:24I transferred schools the next day,

00:29:27and Leo lost his fucking mind.

00:29:29Please, Ellie,

00:29:30it was just a prank.

00:29:31Don't be like this.

00:29:33After gym class,

00:29:34I was just walking out of the equipment room

00:29:36when the football players surrounded me.

00:29:39Leo Carter,

00:29:40the boy next door I'd known my whole life,

00:29:42was leading them.

00:29:44Leo knocked me unconscious,

00:29:46and tied me to the goal post of the football field,

00:29:48for two whole hours,

00:29:50leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone.

00:29:53Finally,

00:29:53Leo arrived.

00:29:54He still had that same cocky smirk he always wore.

00:29:57Hands shoved in his jean pockets.

00:29:59He strolled over like he was just there to watch the show.

00:30:01The rest of the football team,

00:30:03his accomplices,

00:30:04followed behind him.

00:30:05And so did Savannah Miller.

00:30:06She was wearing a pink sundress,

00:30:08her long hair flowing over her shoulders,

00:30:10like every strand of her hair was glowing.

00:30:12Oh my god,

00:30:12you guys actually did it!

00:30:13That's insane!

00:30:14The excitement she couldn't hide in.

00:30:16Her voice made my blood run cold.

00:30:18So my pain was just her entertainment?

00:30:20Of course.

00:30:21Savannah asks,

00:30:22Savannah gets.

00:30:22It was a gentle tone.

00:30:23I had never heard from him before me.

00:30:25He walked up to the goal post and looked up at me.

00:30:27The setting sun cast a golden glow on his face.

00:30:29The features were so familiar,

00:30:30but right now,

00:30:31he was a complete stranger.

00:30:32The eyes I once thought would protect me forever,

00:30:34now only held mockery.

00:30:36So how's the view from up there, Ellie?

00:30:39He was still joking,

00:30:40as if I wasn't a person,

00:30:41but a toy.

00:30:43Alright, alright.

00:30:44Joke's over.

00:30:45Let's get her down.

00:30:47He said it so casually,

00:30:48like he was commenting on the weather.

00:30:50A couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes.

00:30:53No one cared if I would get hurt.

00:30:55I crashed hard onto the grass.

00:30:56The impact knocked the wind out of me,

00:30:58and I felt like my lungs had collapsed.

00:31:00Every bone in my body ached.

00:31:02I curled into a ball,

00:31:04like a dying insect.

00:31:05Leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face.

00:31:09The pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me gasp.

00:31:12When he saw my red, swolled eyes,

00:31:14he paused for a second.

00:31:16For a moment,

00:31:16I thought I saw a flicker of regret.

00:31:19I thought he would apologize.

00:31:21What are you crying for?

00:31:22It was just a prank.

00:31:23We used to prank each other all the time.

00:31:24He said it so lightly,

00:31:25as if this was just like any other joke.

00:31:27But he forgot.

00:31:28Our old pranks

00:31:29never involved destroying someone's dignity.

00:31:31They never involved humiliating someone.

00:31:33In front of hundreds of people,

00:31:34they were never this cruel.

00:31:36I stared at him,

00:31:37saying nothing.

00:31:37I couldn't get a single word out.

00:31:40It wasn't that I didn't want to speak.

00:31:42I just didn't know what to say.

00:31:44How do you question 16 years of friendship?

00:31:46How do you put this betrayal into words?

00:31:48My stare made him uncomfortable.

00:31:50Don't look at me like that.

00:31:51It's creepy.

00:31:52His darting eyes gave away his guilt.

00:31:55Savannah said yesterday

00:31:56she wanted to film a cool Halloween prank video,

00:31:58so we thought,

00:31:59it's not a big deal.

00:32:00You're fine, right?

00:32:02But I didn't make a sound.

00:32:03I just gave Leo one last look.

00:32:05In that look was 16 years of friendship.

00:32:08Countless happy memories.

00:32:09And in that moment,

00:32:10it was over.

00:32:11Hey, Eleanor Vance, where you going?

00:32:12I heard his voice behind me.

00:32:15Stop being mad, okay?

00:32:15I didn't turn back.

00:32:17My steps were shaky,

00:32:18but firm.

00:32:19Every step felt like walking on knives.

00:32:21But I couldn't stop.

00:32:23If I stopped,

00:32:24I was afraid I would break down.

00:32:25I would sob uncontrollably

00:32:27right in front of him.

00:32:28And if that happened,

00:32:29I would have truly lost.

00:32:31Lost everything.

00:32:35When I got home,

00:32:36I went straight to the bathroom.

00:32:37As I took off my clothes,

00:32:39I saw the bruises and welts

00:32:40covering my body.

00:32:41They were horrifying.

00:32:43I stood under the scalding water,

00:32:45scrubbing my skin over and over,

00:32:47trying to wash off the milkshake

00:32:49to wash off the humiliation,

00:32:51trying to wash away every trace of Leo.

00:32:54But I couldn't.

00:32:55The laughter still echoed in my ears.

00:32:57The malicious stares still crawled on my skin.

00:33:00And Leo's careless words,

00:33:02It was just a prank.

00:33:03They replayed in my mind like a curse.

00:33:05The hot water stung my wounds,

00:33:07making me shiver.

00:33:08But the pain was good.

00:33:10It kept me lucid.

00:33:11It reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare.

00:33:14This was real.

00:33:16Leo really did use me as a toy

00:33:17to impress Savannah.

00:33:19Ellie, you've been in there a while.

00:33:23Don't run up the water bill, honey.

00:33:26Coming out now.

00:33:29My voice was so hoarse,

00:33:30it didn't sound like my own.

00:33:32Mom must have gone to her book club

00:33:34because she didn't notice anything was wrong.

00:33:37That was for the best.

00:33:38I didn't want to explain.

00:33:40How could I explain?

00:33:41Tell her that the person I trusted most in the world

00:33:44had betrayed me?

00:33:46Tell her I was tied up like a clown

00:33:48on the school's goalpost?

00:33:49No, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

00:33:52The girl in the mirror was a mess.

00:33:53My face was pale,

00:33:55my lips colorless.

00:33:56The marks on my wrists were deep

00:33:58and a sickening shade of purple-red

00:34:00like they were carved into my bones.

00:34:03I took out the antiseptic

00:34:05and started cleaning them.

00:34:06Bit by bit, it hurt.

00:34:08A piercing pain.

00:34:09But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

00:34:12Sixteen years.

00:34:13I'd known Leo for sixteen years.

00:34:15Our families lived on the same street.

00:34:18Our parents were old friends.

00:34:19Our moms went shopping together.

00:34:21Our dads had barbecues on weekends.

00:34:23We were in the same class since kindergarten.

00:34:26He cried his eyes out on the first day

00:34:28and I was the one who gave him a piece of chocolate.

00:34:31After that, he followed me around like a little shadow.

00:34:35Ellie, wait for me!

00:34:37Ellie, you can have this!

00:34:38Back then, Leo's eyes were so bright,

00:34:41his smile so pure.

00:34:42He was the troublemaker.

00:34:44And I was the good girl who always listened.

00:34:46When he got into trouble, I covered for him.

00:34:49When the teacher asked who broke the classroom window,

00:34:52I said it was me.

00:34:53It was him, practicing his baseball swing.

00:34:56He hated studying, so I tutored him.

00:34:59Before final exams,

00:35:00I'd give him all my meticulously organized notes.

00:35:03Then I'd stay up all night making a new set for myself.

00:35:07He used to say,

00:35:08Ellie, you're the best.

00:35:09I'm gonna make you my bride someday.

00:35:11I'd blush and say,

00:35:13Who would want to marry you?

00:35:14But secretly, my heart would flutter.

00:35:17I thought we were best friends,

00:35:18the closest partners.

00:35:19I even secretly hoped for more.

00:35:21I hoped that one day,

00:35:23he would look at me seriously and say,

00:35:25Eleanor Vance,

00:35:26will you be my girlfriend?

00:35:27But it turned out,

00:35:28in his eyes,

00:35:29I was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted.

00:35:33Just a backup plan who would never leave.

00:35:35To get Savannah's attention,

00:35:37he didn't hesitate to tie me to a goal post.

00:35:40To make me the laughing stock of the whole school.

00:35:42To trample all over my dignity.

00:36:01When I woke up,

00:36:02I was a prop in their prank,

00:36:03zip tied to the goal post on the school's football field.

00:36:06Students walking by laughed at me,

00:36:08filmed TikToks,

00:36:09and someone even threw a milkshake at me.

00:36:11I was tied up in front of everyone for two whole hours,

00:36:14when my best friend, Leo,

00:36:16finally showed up.

00:36:17Savannah said she wanted to see a real-life horror movie prank,

00:36:20so we just played a little joke.

00:36:23Ellie,

00:36:24you're not actually mad, are you?

00:36:26We grew up together.

00:36:27You know me better than anyone.

00:36:29I just stared at him silently.

00:36:31I guess my dignity was just something to be sacrificed

00:36:34for someone else's entertainment.

00:36:36I transferred schools the next day,

00:36:38and Leo lost his fucking mind.

00:36:40Please, Ellie,

00:43:12When I woke up,

00:43:13I was a prop in their prank,

00:43:15zip tied to the goal post

00:43:16on the school's football field.

00:43:18Students walking by laughed at me,

00:43:20filmed TikToks,

00:43:21and someone even threw a milkshake at me.

00:43:23I was tied up in front of everyone

00:43:24for two whole hours.

00:43:26When my best friend, Leo,

00:43:27finally showed up.

00:43:29Savannah said she wanted to see

00:43:30a real-life horror movie prank,

00:43:32so we just played a little joke.

00:43:34Ellie,

00:43:35you're not actually mad, are you?

00:43:37We grew up together.

00:43:39You know me better than anyone.

00:43:40I just stared at him silently.

00:43:43I guess my dignity was just something

00:43:44to be sacrificed for someone else's entertainment.

00:43:47I transferred schools the next day,

00:43:49and Leo lost his fucking mind.

00:43:52Please, Ellie, it was just a prank.

00:43:54Don't be like this.

00:43:56After gym class,

00:43:57I was just walking out of the equipment room

00:43:59when the football players surrounded me.

00:44:02Leo Carter,

00:44:03the boy next door I'd known my whole life,

00:44:05was leading them.

00:44:07Leo knocked me unconscious

00:44:09and tied me to the goal post of the football field

00:44:11for two whole hours,

00:44:13leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone.

00:44:16Finally, Leo arrived.

00:44:17He still had that same cocky smirk he always wore.

00:44:20Hands shoved in his jean pockets.

00:44:22He strolled over like he was just there

00:44:23to watch the show.

00:44:24The rest of the football team,

00:44:26his accomplices,

00:44:27followed behind him.

00:44:28And so did Savannah Miller.

00:44:29She was wearing a pink sundress,

00:44:31her long hair flowing over her shoulders.

00:44:33Like every strand of her hair was glowing.

00:44:35Oh my god, you guys actually did it!

00:44:36That's insane!

00:44:37The excitement she couldn't hide in.

00:44:39Her voice made my blood run cold.

00:44:41So my pain was just her entertainment?

00:44:43Of course.

00:44:43Savannah asks,

00:44:44Savannah gets.

00:44:45It was a gentle tone.

00:44:46I had never heard from him before me.

00:44:48He walked up to the goal post

00:44:49and looked up at me.

00:44:50The setting sun cast a golden glow on his face.

00:44:52The features were so familiar.

00:44:53But right now,

00:44:54he was a complete stranger.

00:44:55The eyes I once thought would protect me forever

00:44:57now only held mockery.

00:44:59So how's the view from up there, Ellie?

00:45:02He was still joking.

00:45:03As if I wasn't a person,

00:45:04but a toy.

00:45:06Alright, alright.

00:45:07Joke's over.

00:45:08Let's get her down.

00:45:09He said it so casually.

00:45:11Like he was commenting on the weather.

00:45:13A couple of his teammates

00:45:14clumsily untied the ropes.

00:45:16No one cared if I would get hurt.

00:45:17I crashed hard onto the grass.

00:45:19The impact knocked the wind out of me

00:45:21and I felt like my lungs had collapsed.

00:45:23Every bone in my body ached.

00:45:25I curled into a ball,

00:45:27like a dying insect.

00:45:28Leo crouched down

00:45:29and ripped the bandage off my face.

00:45:31The pain of the tape tearing at my skin

00:45:34made me gasp.

00:45:35When he saw my red, swolled eyes,

00:45:37he paused for a second.

00:45:38For a moment,

00:45:39I thought I saw a flicker of regret.

00:45:41I thought he would apologize.

00:45:44What are you crying for?

00:45:45It was just a prank.

00:45:46We used to prank each other all the time.

00:45:47He said it so lightly,

00:45:48as if this was just like any other joke.

00:45:50But he forgot.

00:45:51Our old pranks

00:45:52never involved destroying someone's dignity.

00:45:54They never involved humiliating someone.

00:45:56In front of hundreds of people,

00:45:57they were never this cruel.

00:45:59I stared at him,

00:46:00saying nothing.

00:46:01I couldn't get a single word out.

00:46:02It wasn't that I didn't want to speak.

00:46:04I just didn't know what to say.

00:46:06How do you question 16 years of friendship?

00:46:09How do you put this betrayal into words?

00:46:11My stare made him uncomfortable.

00:46:13Don't look at me like that.

00:46:14It's creepy.

00:46:15His darting eyes gave away his guilt.

00:46:18Savannah said yesterday

00:46:19she wanted to film a cool Halloween prank video,

00:46:21so we thought,

00:46:22it's not a big deal.

00:46:23You're fine, right?

00:46:25But I didn't make a sound.

00:46:26I just gave Leo one last look.

00:46:28In that look was 16 years of friendship.

00:46:31Countless happy memories.

00:46:32And in that moment,

00:46:33it was over.

00:46:34Hey, Eleanor Vance, where you going?

00:46:35I heard his voice behind me.

00:46:37Stop being mad, okay?

00:46:38I didn't turn back.

00:46:40My steps were shaky,

00:46:41but firm.

00:46:42Every step felt like walking on knives.

00:46:44But I couldn't stop.

00:46:46If I stopped,

00:46:47I was afraid I would break down.

00:46:48I would sob uncontrollably right in front of him.

00:46:51And if that happened,

00:46:52I would have truly lost.

00:46:54Lost everything.

00:46:57When I got home,

00:46:59I went straight to the bathroom.

00:47:00As I took off my clothes,

00:47:01I saw the bruises and welts covering my body.

00:47:04They were horrifying.

00:47:05I stood under the scalding water,

00:47:08scrubbing my skin over and over,

00:47:10trying to wash off the milkshake,

00:47:12to wash off the humiliation,

00:47:14trying to wash away every trace of Leo.

00:47:17But I couldn't.

00:47:18The laughter still echoed in my ears.

00:47:20The malicious stares still crawled on my skin.

00:47:23And Leo's careless words,

00:47:24It was just a prank.

00:47:26they replayed in my mind like a curse.

00:47:28The hot water stung my wounds,

00:47:30making me shiver.

00:47:31But the pain was good.

00:47:33It kept me lucid.

00:47:34It reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare.

00:47:37This was real.

00:47:39Leo really did use me as a toy to impress Savannah.

00:47:42Ellie, you've been in there a while.

00:47:46Don't run up the water bill, honey.

00:47:49Coming out now.

00:47:51My voice was so hoarse,

00:47:53it didn't sound like my own.

00:47:55Mom must have gone to her book club,

00:47:57because she didn't notice anything was wrong.

00:47:59That was for the best.

00:48:01I didn't want to explain.

00:48:03How could I explain?

00:48:04Tell her that the person I trusted most in the world

00:48:07had betrayed me?

00:48:09Tell her I was tied up like a clown

00:48:11on the school's goalpost?

00:48:12No, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

00:48:14The girl in the mirror was a mess.

00:48:16My face was pale,

00:48:18my lips colorless.

00:48:19The marks on my wrists were deep,

00:48:21and a sickening shade of purple-red,

00:48:23like they were carved into my bones.

00:48:25I took out the antiseptic and started cleaning them.

00:48:29Bit by bit, it hurt.

00:48:31A piercing pain.

00:48:32But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

00:48:3516 years.

00:48:36I'd known Leo for 16 years.

00:48:38Our families lived on the same street.

00:48:40Our parents were old friends.

00:48:42Our moms went shopping together.

00:48:44Our dads had barbecues on weekends.

00:48:46We were in the same class since kindergarten.

00:48:48He cried his eyes out on the first day,

00:48:51and I was the one who gave him a piece of chocolate.

00:48:54After that, he followed me around like a little shadow.

00:48:58Ellie, wait for me!

00:49:00Ellie, you can have this!

00:49:01Back then, Leo's eyes were so bright,

00:49:04his smile so pure.

00:49:05He was the troublemaker,

00:49:07and I was the good girl who always listened.

00:49:09When he got into trouble, I covered for him.

00:49:12When the teacher asked who broke the classroom window,

00:49:15I said it was me.

00:49:16It was him, practicing his baseball swing.

00:49:19He hated studying, so I tutored him.

00:49:22Before final exams,

00:49:23I'd give him all my meticulously organized notes.

00:49:26Then I'd stay up all night making a new set for myself.

00:49:30He used to say,

00:49:31Ellie, you're the best.

00:49:32I'm gonna make you my bride someday.

00:49:34I'd blush and say,

00:49:36Who would want to marry you?

00:49:37But secretly, my heart would flutter.

00:49:39I thought we were best friends,

00:49:41the closest partners.

00:49:42I even secretly hoped for more.

00:49:44I hoped that one day,

00:49:46he would look at me seriously and say,

00:49:48Eleanor Vance, will you be my girlfriend?

00:49:50But it turned out, in his eyes,

00:49:52I was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted.

00:49:56Just a backup plan who would never leave.

00:49:58To get Savannah's attention,

00:50:00he didn't hesitate to tie me to a goal post.

00:50:03To make me the laughingstock of the whole school.

00:50:05To trample all over my dignity.

00:50:24When I woke up, I was a prop in their prank,

00:58:17Don't be like this.

00:58:19After gym class,

00:58:20I was just walking out of the equipment room

00:58:22when the football players surrounded me.

00:58:25Leo Carter,

00:58:26the boy next door I'd known my whole life,

00:58:28was leading them.

00:58:30Leo knocked me unconscious

00:58:31and tied me to the goalpost of the football field

00:58:34for two whole hours,

00:58:36leaving me to be watched and mocked by everyone.

00:58:38Finally, Leo arrived.

00:58:40He still had that same cocky smirk he always wore.

00:58:43Hands shoved in his jean pockets.

00:58:45He strolled over like he was just there to watch the show.

00:58:47The rest of the football team,

00:58:49his accomplices,

00:58:50followed behind him.

00:58:51And so did Savannah Miller.

00:58:52She was wearing a pink sundress,

00:58:54her long hair flowing over her shoulders,

00:58:55like every strand of her hair was glowing.

00:58:58Oh my god, you guys actually did it?

00:58:59That's insane!

00:59:00The excitement she couldn't hide in.

00:59:02Her voice made my blood run cold.

00:59:03So my pain was just her entertainment?

00:59:05Of course.

00:59:06Savannah asks, Savannah gets.

00:59:08It was a gentle tone.

00:59:09I had never heard from him before me.

00:59:10He walked up to the goalpost and looked up at me.

00:59:12The setting sun cast a golden glow on his face.

00:59:15The features were so familiar.

00:59:16But right now, he was a complete stranger.

00:59:18The eyes I once thought would protect me forever

00:59:19now only held mockery.

00:59:22So how's the view from up there, Ellie?

00:59:24He was still joking,

00:59:26as if I wasn't a person, but a toy.

00:59:29All right, all right.

00:59:30Joke's over.

00:59:31Let's get her down.

00:59:32He said it so casually,

00:59:34like he was commenting on the weather.

00:59:36A couple of his teammates clumsily untied the ropes.

00:59:38No one cared if I would get hurt.

00:59:40I crashed hard onto the grass.

00:59:42The impact knocked the wind out of me,

00:59:44and I felt like my lungs had collapsed.

00:59:46Every bone in my body ached.

00:59:48I curled into a ball, like a dying insect.

00:59:51Leo crouched down and ripped the bandage off my face.

00:59:54The pain of the tape tearing at my skin made me gasp.

00:59:58When he saw my red, swolled eyes, he paused for a second.

01:00:01For a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of regret.

01:00:04I thought he would apologize.

01:00:06What are you crying for?

01:00:08It was just a prank.

01:00:08We used to prank each other all the time.

01:00:10He said it so lightly, as if this was just like any other joke.

01:00:13But he forgot.

01:00:14Our old pranks never involved destroying someone's dignity.

01:00:17They never involved humiliating someone, in front of hundreds of people.

01:00:20They were never this cruel.

01:00:22I stared at him, saying nothing.

01:00:23I couldn't get a single word out.

01:00:25It wasn't that I didn't want to speak.

01:00:27I just didn't know what to say.

01:00:29How do you question 16 years of friendship?

01:00:32How do you put this betrayal into words?

01:00:34My stare made him uncomfortable.

01:00:36Don't look at me like that.

01:00:37It's creepy.

01:00:38His darting eyes gave away his guilt.

01:00:41Savannah said yesterday she wanted to film a cool Halloween prank video,

01:00:44so we thought, it's not a big deal, you're fine, right?

01:00:47But I didn't make a sound.

01:00:49I just gave Leo one last look.

01:00:51In that look was 16 years of friendship.

01:00:54Countless happy memories.

01:00:55And in that moment, it was over.

01:00:57Hey, Eleanor Vance, where you going?

01:00:58I heard his voice behind me.

01:01:00Stop being mad, okay?

01:01:01I didn't turn back.

01:01:03My steps were shaky, but firm.

01:01:05Every step felt like walking on knives.

01:01:07But I couldn't stop.

01:01:09If I stopped, I was afraid I would break down.

01:01:11I would sob uncontrollably right in front of him.

01:01:14And if that happened, I would have truly lost.

01:01:17Lost everything.

01:01:20When I got home, I went straight to the bathroom.

01:01:23As I took off my clothes, I saw the bruises and welts covering my body.

01:01:27They were horrifying.

01:01:28I stood under the scalding water, scrubbing my skin over and over.

01:01:33Trying to wash off the milkshake, to wash off the humiliation.

01:01:37Trying to wash away every trace of Leo.

01:01:39But I couldn't.

01:01:41The laughter still echoed in my ears.

01:01:43The malicious stares still crawled on my skin.

01:01:46And Leo's careless words,

01:01:47It was just a prank.

01:01:49They replayed in my mind like a curse.

01:01:51The hot water stung my wounds, making me shiver.

01:01:54But the pain was good.

01:01:56It kept me lucid.

01:01:57It reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare.

01:02:00This was real.

01:02:01Leo really did use me as a toy to impress Savannah.

01:02:05Ellie, you've been in there a while.

01:02:07Bill, don't run up the water bill, honey.

01:02:12Coming out now.

01:02:14My voice was so hoarse, it didn't sound like my own.

01:02:18Mom must have gone to her book club,

01:02:20because she didn't notice anything was wrong.

01:02:22That was for the best.

01:02:24I didn't want to explain.

01:02:25How could I explain?

01:02:27Tell her that the person I trusted most in the world had betrayed me?

01:02:31Tell her I was tied up like a clown?

01:02:34On the school's goalpost?

01:02:35No, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

01:02:37The girl in the mirror was a mess.

01:02:39My face was pale.

01:02:41My lips colorless.

01:02:42The marks on my wrists were deep.

01:02:44And a sickening shade of purple-red,

01:02:46like they were carved into my bones.

01:02:49I took out the antiseptic and started cleaning them.

01:02:52Bit by bit.

01:02:53It hurt.

01:02:54A piercing pain.

01:02:55But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

01:02:5816 years.

01:02:59I'd known Leo for 16 years.

01:03:01Our families lived on the same street.

01:03:03Our parents were old friends.

01:03:05Our moms went shopping together.

01:03:07Our dads had barbecues on weekends.

01:03:09We were in the same class since kindergarten.

01:03:11He cried his eyes out on the first day.

01:03:14And I was the one who gave him a piece of chocolate.

01:03:17After that, he followed me around like a little shadow.

01:03:21Ellie, wait for me!

01:03:23Ellie, you can have this!

01:03:24Back then, Leo's eyes were so bright.

01:03:26His smile so pure.

01:03:28He was the troublemaker.

01:03:30And I was the good girl who always listened.

01:03:32When he got into trouble, I covered for him.

01:03:35When the teacher asked who broke the classroom window,

01:03:37I said it was me.

01:03:39It was him, practicing his baseball swing.

01:03:42He hated studying, so I tutored him.

01:03:44Before final exams,

01:03:46I'd give him all my meticulously organized notes.

01:03:49Then I'd stay up all night making a new set for myself.

01:03:52He used to say,

01:03:53Ellie, you're the best.

01:03:55I'm gonna make you my bride someday.

01:03:57I'd blush and say,

01:03:59Who would want to marry you?

01:04:00But secretly, my heart would flutter.

01:04:02I thought we were best friends, the closest partners.

01:04:05I even secretly hoped for more.

01:04:07I hoped that one day, he would look at me seriously and say,

01:04:11Eleanor Vance, will you be my girlfriend?

01:04:13But it turned out, in his eyes,

01:04:15I was just a toy he could humiliate whenever he wanted.

01:04:18Just a backup plan who would never leave.

01:04:21To get Savannah's attention,

01:04:23he didn't hesitate to tie me to a goal post.

01:04:25To make me the laughingstock of the whole school.

01:04:28To trample all over my dignity.

01:04:46When I woke up, I was a prop in their prank.

01:04:49Zip tied to the goal post on the school's football field.

01:04:52Students walking by laughed at me, filmed TikToks,

01:04:55and someone even threw a milkshake at me.

01:04:57I was tied up in front of everyone for two whole hours.

01:05:00When my best friend, Leo, finally showed up.

01:05:03Savannah said she wanted to see a real-life horror movie prank.

01:05:06So we just played a little joke.

01:05:09Ellie, you're not actually mad, are you?

01:05:11We grew up together.

01:05:13You know me better than anyone.

01:05:15I just stared at him silently.

01:05:17I guess my dignity was just something to be sacrificed

01:05:19for someone else's entertainment.

01:05:22I transferred schools the next day.

01:05:24And Leo lost his fucking mind.

01:05:26Please, Ellie, it was just a prank.

01:05:28Don't be like this.
