13 Reasons Why

Chapter 11

TAPE THREE:
Sydney -
"How about we talk about feelings? I don't mean relationship ones, that's not this tape... stay tuned. Let's talk about bad feelings. Like stubbing your toe; ouch. Or getting the flu. Or breaking your ankle, or feeling left out. Or even having your heart broken. Now, I'll tell you something. There's a feeling worse than all of those combined. And that's betrayal. Syd, welcome to your tape. You knew this was coming. You knew a lot of things. Including everything I'd been through with a certain somebody. She has a tape too, don't worry. And by somebody, I mean Liv. When Liv first started at Hill's gymnastics, you swore to me that you wouldn't befriend the very girl who lied about me and Caleb. I believed you when you told me you wouldn't. Why would I have any reason not to? But now let's fast-forward a bit. To just three weeks ago. You betrayed me. Big time. You had a sleepover with Liv! But Sydney, you were smart. You blocked me on Snapchat. That could have worked... except for Luke. Like put a video of you and Liv on his Snapchat story, and I saw it immediately. That got me suspicious, and it felt like a stab in the heart. It hurt. So I logged onto our family Snapchat and checked your story. First thing I saw was a selfie of Liv and you, captioned "sleepover with her 💕💕". That was enough for me to feel awful. But I kept clicking, and it got worse. Second was a video, and you could hear LIV'S screeching voice in the background. Ugh. "Wait, she actually likes Hayden?! No way! Just because she did a backflip with him she feels special?!" Oh my god. Syd, you told Liv I liked Hayden. Who knew you could stoop so low. That was the second time I actually wanted to die. And then I came back from L.A. a week ago, and I planned to confront you about it... but I couldn't. I just couldn't look at your face again. The last memory I ever had of you was you telling my enemy all my secrets. You betrayed me! I couldn't ever trust you after that. And ever since you hung out with Liv, you never texted me in L.A. I wonder why? Well, Sydney, I hope you know what betrayal feels like. I hope somebody betrays you. Thanks for being a reason... my "bestfriend"
