Friendships are supposed to be built on trust, support, and understanding. But what happens when one friend takes advantage of the other’s kindness for too long? Our story begins with a 16-year-old who has been best friends with A since they were 5. A car accident left A wheelchair-bound three years ago, and our protagonist has been her rock ever since. However, years of one-sided support and unaddressed resentment finally come to a boiling point after a shocking betrayal at the mall. ️
