00:00Hi, my name is Natalie and I fell in love with a monster, but before I continue, please like and subscribe to MSA
00:06Please support MSA in style. Our bottles and notebooks are perfect for teens on the go. Check them out in the description
00:13I never really meant to fall in love at all. In fact, I was absolutely against it
00:17I just gotten out of a bad relationship with my ex who dated five girls behind my back and when I confronted him about it
00:23He had the nerve to blame me. I just needed some attention and you were never there
00:28I live two houses down from you. If you were lonely, you should have just come over or called
00:33That's too much work
00:35And you know, I hate talking on the phone and hanging out at your house is so boring
00:40My face is too pretty to be stuck inside all day
00:43I was thinking maybe I can be your boyfriend on Fridays and I can date other people on Saturdays
00:49I dumped that idiot and tried dating other guys, but that didn't work out
00:53It felt like I was kissing a bunch of frogs
00:55They were either too stupid, too vain, or just plain jerks. On my 16th birthday
01:00I decided to stay away from boys and focus on school instead
01:03I had dreams of following in my parents footsteps and becoming a famous architect
01:08But then I met Sam and he ruined my life
01:11Sam was a star football player with a cocky attitude
01:15And he walked around school like he owned the place. All the girls were in love with him and boys acted like he was some
01:20Kind of superhero. Sam sat next to me in science class and every day he'd wink at me with this dumb grin on his face
01:26But I ignored him. He wasn't my type. Anyway, one time during a science test
01:31I caught Sam copying my answers. Hey jerkface, stop cheating. Get over yourself. I'm smarter than you
01:38I dropped my pencil on the floor and I was picking it up. Three of your answers are wrong anyway
01:43Yeah, right. You think I was born yesterday? Suddenly the teacher popped up out of nowhere and started screaming like a maniac
01:49She snatched our tests, gave us a big fat F and sent us both straight to detention
01:54I tried to tell her I was innocent
01:56But she refused to listen. After detention Sam caught up to me and I was mad as a wet cat
02:02I'm really sorry. Leave me alone. You've done enough damage. I didn't mean to get us in trouble
02:07I really did drop my pencil. I'll make it up to you. I swear
02:10I stormed off but the next day Sam convinced the teacher to let us work on a special project after school
02:16So we could get extra credit. Sina, it's all good. I told you I'd make this right
02:21It's the least you could do. You're the one who got us into this mess. I'll take that as a thank-you
02:26Besides, you're the lucky one. You get to spend time with me and my biceps
02:30He started flexing his muscles like he was in a bodybuilding competition
02:34Then he pulled out his phone and took a selfie. Could you be any more self-absorbed? Come on. I'm just joking
02:40I'm actually really cool if you get to know me
02:43He gave me his number winked at me and then walked away
02:46So annoying Sam and I met after school to work on our project and to my surprise
02:51He was actually really smart and I tried to fight it
02:54But I started to develop a huge crush Sam had the most beautiful brown eyes
02:59Every time he looked at me my heart fluttered one time his finger brushed against mine
03:04And I swear there was a spark before I knew it
03:07We were holding hands and we went from talking about atoms and electrons to kissing a man
03:12That kiss was amazing after that. We were inseparable. We couldn't get enough of each other
03:17We finished each other's sentences soon
03:19We were madly in love an epic love like you read about in fairy tales life was perfect
03:26But then everything changed suddenly Sam stopped meeting me after class. He stopped answering my texts and funny memes
03:32I figured he was busy. So I gave him some space then I heard he quit the football team
03:36I got really worried. So I asked him about it. I'm fine. It's nothing. No, it's not
03:42You've been playing football your whole life. You've been obsessed with playing in college and going pro. You can't just quit
03:48You're not the boss of me. I do what I want
03:50He marched off without another word after that things got even worse
03:54He started hanging out with a bad crowd and he totally changed. He didn't smile anymore or crack jokes like before
04:01He was as cold as an iceberg
04:03Every time I tried to talk to him, he was snappy and rude. Then one day he stopped showing up in school
04:08I went by his house, but it was empty with a for sale sign outside
04:12I asked the neighbors what happened and they told me that Sam and his parents left in the middle of the night
04:16I tried everything to reach Sam. I was so confused and worried then one day he DM'd me from his insta
04:22He told me he wanted to break up suggested that I move on with my life and then blocked me
04:28Completely devastated I couldn't imagine life without Sam and I couldn't understand why he'd do this to me
04:33I collapsed onto my bed and hid under the covers for days. My best friend Shelly came to my rescue
04:39She brought me ice cream chocolate cake and we watched dozens of MSA videos slowly
04:44I started to feel better. But every time I saw something that reminded me of Sam, I burst into tears
04:49It's been six months. It's time for you to move on
04:52But there's no me without Sam or two peas in a pod two halves of one heart
04:57I can't live with half a heart Shelly. I'm only human
05:01Shelly grabbed all my pictures and gifts from Sam and tossed them into a shoebox. What are you doing?
05:06I'm giving you your freedom back Sam's long gone. It's time for you to move on Shelly was right
05:12They were just things and they only made me sad Shelly put all Sam's stuff in the fireplace
05:17We burned them and roasted marshmallows and slowly things started getting better
05:21I even graduated from high school at the top of my class
05:24Shelly and I applied to our dream college and we both got in during our first week there Shelly and I went to this cool
05:30College party and this boy named Roger asked me to dance. I'm not much of a dancer. I'm not either
05:36Don't worry about it. Just follow my lead Roger pulled me to the dance floor and we danced the night away
05:42Though we both look like a pair of crazy chickens stomping our feet and shaking her butt
05:46I couldn't remember the last time I'd had so much fun Roger wasn't the hottest boy around but he certainly had confidence and charm
05:53One day you're gonna marry me. I hardly know you plus I'm happily single not for long
05:59I'm going to chase you treat you like a princess and soon you'll be in love with me after that Roger went on a mission
06:05To capture my heart. He brought me a bouquet of daisies
06:08I saw them and thought of you but I was allergic and I broke out in hives a week later
06:13He tried to cook for me at his place. I think something's burning. It's not burning. Everything's fine
06:19Then the kitchen caught fire every day Roger tried something new to win my heart and it started to get out of hand
06:26He hung a banner from the roof of my dorm to wish me a happy birthday and almost fell off a ladder
06:31He jumped on a stage at a nightclub to sing me a song and twisted his ankle as I drove him to the emergency
06:37Room, he asked me to be his girlfriend
06:39Honestly, even though I didn't feel crazy sparks with him. It felt nice to be loved this way
06:44He was a good guy. So I said yes a couple years later
06:47I got an internship to work at my family's business and it was the best
06:50I helped my parents design a state-of-the-art office building and land a huge new client one morning before work
06:57I stopped at a coffee shop for breakfast
06:59I just taken a huge bite of my scone when I looked up and saw Sam walk through the front door
07:04My heart nearly stopped. It felt a surge of emotion. I hadn't felt in a while and then he spotted me Natalie
07:11I gulped down my scone in a hurry and suddenly I was choking
07:14I jumped out of my seat and started flapping my arms around like a wild bird
07:19banging into customers and knocking coffee all over the place and suddenly
07:22Sam rushed toward me and performed the Heimlich maneuver and I spat out my scone as I gasped for air and backed away from him
07:29I slipped on some spilled coffee hit my head and everything went black
07:33I woke up in a hospital bed and saw Roger and Shelly staring down at me. I'm so happy. You're okay gumdrop
07:39I don't know what I would have done without you. Thank goodness. Your friend Sam was there
07:43The doctor said that he saved your life. You met Sam. He was here at the hospital. He left ten minutes ago
07:50Don't worry pumpkin. I invited him out to dinner tomorrow night. It's the least we could do. He saved your life
07:56Roger hugged me tight
07:57I smiled and pretended to be cool
07:59But my stomach started turning backflips a couple of hours before dinner. I started freaking out Shelly came over to calm me down
08:06I can't do this. What's the big deal? You're over Sam, right? I don't know. I'm not sure. What do you mean?
08:13You're not sure you've been with Roger for two years
08:15I know but when I saw Sam all my feelings for him just don't even say it that jerk broke your heart
08:21Remember, he didn't deserve you then and he doesn't deserve you now
08:25Shelly was right. Sam was a heartless snake
08:28So he might have saved my life, but even monsters are nice at least one day out of the year, right?
08:33I didn't need to be nervous about this dinner
08:34I was dating Roger and he was 20 times better than Sam
08:38So I put on my fanciest dress and spent an hour on my makeup
08:41I was gonna show Sam what he was missing when we got to the restaurant
08:45I was surprised that Sam showed up with a girl named Tia who he introduced as his girlfriend
08:50She looked like a supermodel, but she had the IQ of a rock when Roger told Sam we were applying to graduate school
08:57She said you don't need to go to graduate school to learn how to graduate
09:02That's not listen
09:03All you do is tell your dad to pay off a couple of teachers to give you an A then you walk across the stage
09:09Like this Tia stood up and strutted up and down the restaurant bumping into a waiter holding a tray of food
09:15Which was spilled all over her dress
09:18The date was over after that and I thought I was in the clear but soon Sam and Tia started showing up everywhere
09:24I saw them at the coffee shop Sam worked at my gym and we both walked our dogs at the same park and the worst
09:30Thing was that Roger loved going on double dates with Tia and Sam and I hated it
09:35My blood boiled when I saw them holding hands
09:38I wanted to scream when Sam kissed her and I wanted to cry when I saw Sam smile and look at Tia the way he
09:45Then one day I lost it
09:46I called Sam and told him to meet me at a park on the other end of town where no one would see us
09:51Okay, what's with all the secrecy not I feel like we're in a spy movie. I needed privacy fine
09:57We're alone just me and you
09:59Reminds me of old times Sam stepped toward me and my stupid heart fluttered
10:04I hadn't been that close to him in years
10:06I could smell his cologne and it brought back so many beautiful memories then suddenly
10:12Blazing hot rage coursed through my veins. I hate you. Look I was in a bad place
10:17You made me fall in love with you
10:19And then you broke my heart and now that I finally moved on you weaseled your way back into my life to hurt me again
10:24No, that's not what I'm doing. You're a monster. Leave me alone. I never want to see you again
10:31I broke into tears ran to my car and drove off. But when I got home, I saw Roger at my door
10:36What's wrong cupcake?
10:37I told Roger that I didn't want to go on any double dates with Sam and Tia anymore
10:41I just wanted to focus on us, of course sugar bear whatever you want
10:46Then I kissed Roger
10:47But all I could think about was Sam when I pulled away Roger had this strange look on his face
10:52Then he got down on one knee. I think I want to marry you
10:56I don't have a ring, but I can get one right away. Just tell me what you want and I'll buy it
11:01I want it perfect. Just like our love. I was overwhelmed and speechless. I'm sorry
11:07I have to go. I think I left the iron on let's talk tomorrow
11:10Okay
11:11I rushed inside and shut the door behind me that night Roger sent me pictures of dozens of rings and wedding venues all of them
11:18Were amazing and part of me started thinking that sealing the deal with Roger would just make me move on for good
11:23Okay, this is madness. You can't marry Roger if you're still in love with Sam
11:28But you said he didn't deserve me and you're right
11:31He just came back to hurt me and what he did the first time that is unforgivable
11:36Actually, that's not true
11:37I thought I wouldn't tell you because you were happy with Roger, but I can see that you're not and I can't stay quiet anymore
11:44What are you talking about? I've been volunteering at the hospital and a few days ago
11:48I spotted Sam leaving my uncle's examination room. Who's an oncologist?
11:52I snuck in later and looked at Sam's file. My uncle caught me and he was furious
11:57But since I begged he told me the whole story Sam got really sick in high school. That's why he quit the football team
12:03He was going through special treatment, but it wasn't working
12:06So he and his parents moved away to enroll in a special treatment program now
12:10He's cured, but he still has to take medicines
12:13I think Sam broke up with you because he didn't know if he was gonna survive it and he couldn't bear to see you hurt
12:18That's why he was a jerk. He wanted you to forget about him and move on
12:22My heart felt crushed hearing this but he's moved on. He's dating Tia. They broke up yesterday
12:28Now she's dating a movie star. They're insta official. I have to talk to Sam
12:33What about Roger? I went straight to Rogers house and told him that I couldn't marry him
12:38But why sugarplum you deserve someone better than me?
12:41I gave away my whole heart to someone else a really long time ago, and I never really got it back
12:47I'm so sorry Roger burst into tears, but he appreciated that. I told him the truth
12:52I hopped in my car and drove to the gym where Sam worked and almost hit a truck as I swerved into the parking lot
12:58I texted Sam and begged him to come outside. I get it. You hate me
13:02What else do you need to say? I know what you did and you're an idiot a big stupid idiot Sam stared at me
13:09I'm sorry. I just didn't want to hurt you. Well, you did that
13:13Anyway, I didn't need you to protect me true love fights and lasts through the good and the bad
13:19So what now I threw my arms around him and held on tight as he hugged me back. You never let me go. I
13:28Think I can do that
13:32You
