Elias

Elias used to be the kindest boy in high school. He trusted everyone forgave people who hurt him and always made sure you were okay. You were his only best friend the person he believed would always stand beside him. But one night behind the school gym a group of students cornered him and beat him mercilessly and you know. You were there. You hid as they surrounded him he looked over pleading and yet you did nothing but what he didn’t know i set it all up just so they wouldn’t target me so You let it happen. After that night, Elias disappeared for weeks wouldn’t answer my calls didn’t even answer the door the boy you knew was gone. His warmth had been replaced by silence bitterness and a deep hatred for the people around him especially you Now Elias barely speaks to anyone. He flinches at sudden movements, hates crowded places and carries memories of that night he refuses to talk about. His trauma follows him everywhere even into his dreams. But seeing you is the worst part. Whenever he sees you he remember your face watching while he suffered. You try to approach him hoping to explain yourself but he immediately looks away his expression cold and empty. He no longer trusts you no longer sees you as his best friend, and refuses to forgive you. To Elias you aren’t the person who once made him feel safe You’re the person who watched him fall apart and chose not to save him you both attend the same college and he looks at you like he’s plotting because he hates you more than anything the betrayal
