00:00Hi, I'm Andy from Scotland, and I live in a castle like a princess in a fairy tale.
00:05But my fairy tale turned into a fairy nightmare.
00:08But before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:10There was nothing I loved more than sneaking through the secret passages,
00:14climbing the turrets, and exploring the dungeons in my princess costume.
00:17I had so much fun, but I always felt that there was something missing.
00:21I needed to find my Prince Charming.
00:23When I was nine, a new gardener moved into the servants' quarters,
00:26and he had a son my age named Jacob.
00:28Jacob was so cute, and he had these dreamy brown eyes.
00:31I wondered if he was Prince Charming material.
00:34Sure, he wasn't rich, but that didn't matter.
00:36Royal people marry commoners all the time.
00:38So I went over and introduced myself.
00:40Your name's Andy? That's a boy's name.
00:42Why are you wearing a dress like a girl?
00:44Because I am a girl. A royal girl.
00:47And you can address me as Your Highness.
00:49Instead, he kicked me in the shins and left.
00:52He wasn't charming at all.
00:54One day, my mom told me to go to Jacob's house to drop off some freshly-baked cookies
00:58when suddenly my Barbie dolls started falling out of the sky
01:01with their arms and legs in all the wrong places.
01:03I looked up to see Jacob grinning at me from his window.
01:06I got so mad I threw a cookie at his face, and he dropped a water balloon on my head.
01:10At that moment, I realized Jacob wasn't my Prince Charming.
01:14He was an evil villain, and we were in an epic war.
01:17I let my dog poop under his bedroom window.
01:19Jacob put bugs in my hair.
01:21I smeared mud on his face.
01:22He kicked sand in my eyes.
01:24Then one day, my parents betrayed me
01:26and invited Jacob and his parents over for dinner to force us into a truce.
01:30The first chance I got, I excused myself and snuck away to one of my secret tunnels.
01:34I was having a tea party with my stuffed animals
01:37when out of nowhere, a scary monster came racing toward me.
01:40It growled and snarled and scared me half to death.
01:43Please don't eat me. I'm too young to die.
01:46There's a boy downstairs. I'm sure he tastes much better than me.
01:49It's me, scaredy cat. This place is really cool.
01:52Wanna play hide and seek?
01:53Jacob and I had so much fun playing in the castle that he started coming over every day.
01:58After a while, I realized Jacob wasn't so bad.
02:01By the time we reached middle school, we were thick as thieves and spent all of our time together.
02:05But that didn't sit well with Zara.
02:07Zara hated me since we were five, and she found out I lived in a castle.
02:11Her mom was a powerful politician, and Zara couldn't stand the idea of someone else stealing her thunder.
02:16It wasn't enough for her to be the prettiest or the most popular.
02:19She had to be the most important.
02:21One day at lunchtime, I was minding my own business when Zara yanked on my braid.
02:25Ow! So sorry. I spilled some milk and mistook your hair for a mop.
02:29Maybe I was a little grubby. I was a bit of a tomboy.
02:32But I was pretty sure I didn't look like a mop.
02:35Then suddenly, someone dumped a milkshake on Zara's head.
02:38Oh, whoops. Sorry. I mistook you for a trash can.
02:41Zara ran away screaming. The evil witch had been vanquished.
02:45Maybe Jacob was my Prince Charming after all.
02:47After that, every time I saw Jacob, I got this warm feeling like I'd eaten a slice of pie straight from the oven.
02:53Then I realized I was totally crushing on Jacob.
02:56But what if he didn't like me? And things got really weird.
02:59The last thing I wanted was to ruin our friendship.
03:01A few weeks later, Jacob came over to hang out in the castle.
03:04We were having a sword fight in the dungeon.
03:06While we were fighting, we stumbled across a secret room.
03:09It was dark and creepy and looked like something from a scary movie.
03:12Then Jacob grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
03:14Suddenly, the door slammed shut. Jacob tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.
03:18The door stuck.
03:19Pull harder.
03:20I can't.
03:21I pulled out my cell phone and tried to call for help, but I couldn't get a signal.
03:24Then I screamed as loud as I could, but no one heard us.
03:27OMG, we're trapped. We gotta get out of here. We'll run out of air. We'll starve to death.
03:31Oh, jeez. It's happening already. I'm feeling dizzy.
03:34Tell my parents I love them. Oh, wait. You'll be dead too.
03:37Calm down, Andi. Everything will be okay.
03:40I can climb up to that window and crawl out to get help.
03:42The window was pretty high. He could totally get hurt.
03:45It's too dangerous.
03:46It's okay. I got this.
03:47Then for some reason, without thinking, I ran over and kissed him.
03:51What was that?
03:52For good luck, Jacob kissed me back, then climbed up to the window.
03:55But he slipped, fell, and hit his head.
03:57No!
03:58I raced to his side and held him in my arms.
04:00Suddenly, a bunch of firemen burst through the walls and pulled us to safety.
04:04They rushed Jacob to the hospital. Luckily, he wasn't hurt too bad.
04:07He had a minor concussion, but he made a quick recovery.
04:10The castle was a mess, and the insurance refused to pay the damage.
04:14So, my family was stuck with a huge bill we couldn't afford.
04:18My parents blamed Jacob, and Jacob's parents blamed me.
04:21Your daughter is out of control. She almost killed my son.
04:24Your son's the problem. He runs around like a wild animal.
04:27Our parents got so mad that they refused to let me and Jacob hang out anymore.
04:31The next morning, things got worse.
04:33Honey, we have to leave the castle.
04:35But the castle belongs to our family.
04:37No, it belongs to the government. We're just the groundskeepers.
04:40You loved pretending to be a princess when you were little,
04:43and your father and I thought it'd be harmless to let you believe we were part of a noble family.
04:47Harmless? You made a fool out of me. Why do we have to move now? What changed?
04:52And that's when they showed me a letter from the government saying our services were no longer needed.
04:56I was devastated. My life was in shambles.
04:59Not only had we lost the castle, I had to change schools and live in my grandparents' tiny house across town.
05:05And it was all Jacob's fault.
05:07Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. The week after we moved out,
05:10Jacob and his family were hired to be the new groundskeepers.
05:13One day, I ran into him at the grocery store and gave him a piece of my mind.
05:17You backstabbing troll. You won't get away with this.
05:20I didn't do anything.
05:21You pretended to be my prince charming so you could steal my castle.
05:24You lured me into that dungeon. It was all part of your master plan.
05:28I hate you. I wish I'd never met you.
05:30Then I stormed off. Jacob texted me and sent me letters claiming he was innocent
05:35and that his parents just happened to be offered the job as groundskeepers.
05:38But I wasn't stupid. I blocked his calls and burned all his letters.
05:42My parents worked hard to find new jobs, and after a few years,
05:45they saved enough money to move us into a new apartment and pay for my tuition at a fancy high school.
05:50Things were finally looking up, but then my world was turned upside down.
05:54I was at my locker minding my own business when I saw Jacob and Zara
05:58marching down the hall like they owned the place.
06:00And did you see those outfits? They were the most expensive clothes and so much bling.
06:05Their outfits could have paid my parents' rent for a year.
06:08Zara was always rich, but Jacob was dirt poor.
06:11What the heck happened?
06:12A kid with a cell phone recorded their every move like they were freaking celebrities.
06:16Then a terrible, horrible, disgusting, diabolical thing happened.
06:20Jacob kissed Zara.
06:22My blood sizzled like an egg in a frying pan.
06:25All the pain, frustration, and stress they caused came rushing back to me.
06:29Oh, look. It's the girl that lived in the castle.
06:32Your head looks a lot bigger than I remember.
06:34Hopefully you'll grow into it. If not, you can always tune into my livestream.
06:37I give lots of tips for walking disasters like you.
06:40You stupid witch. I'll show you a disaster.
06:43I raised my hand to slap her, but Jacob caught my arm.
06:46Chill out, Andy. Zara was just kidding. It's part of her brand.
06:49It's her job to give advice on fashion emergencies.
06:51Don't touch me, jerk. You're no better than she is.
06:54Come on, Jacob. Ignore her. She's just jealous because we're so out of her league.
06:58Every time Zara and I were in the same room, she'd say the meanest things
07:02and make fun of me in front of her rich friends.
07:04Hey, fashion fail. That outfit is hideous.
07:08It should be a crime to be so tacky.
07:10Have you seen your face?
07:11It looks like a wrinkled monkey's butt with pink lipstick and eyeshadow.
07:15I couldn't believe how shallow all the rich kids were.
07:18Jacob spent most of his time checking himself out in the mirror,
07:21fixing his hair, and posing for selfies for his Instagram.
07:24Every time I saw Zara and Jacob together, it made me sick to my stomach,
07:28especially when they posted selfies of themselves at my castle.
07:32Fine, I know it wasn't my castle anymore, but it's the principle.
07:35I put thumbs down and barfing emojis on all of their posts,
07:38and I told everyone Jacob was a backstabbing, lying cow.
07:42Jacob locked me and confronted me the next day.
07:44Stop being so childish and jealous. Your comments are hurting my business.
07:48Zara and I are social media stars, and we've got endorsement deals.
07:52I need that money to help my family.
07:54I'm not being childish. I'm telling the truth.
07:56The world needs to know that you and Zara are evil.
07:59Grow up, Andy. This isn't a fairy tale.
08:02And stop blaming me for what happened with the castle.
08:04After that, Jacob and I avoided each other like a plague.
08:07I had to get my mind off of Zara and Jacob, so I focused on my studies.
08:11I worked hard and graduated at the top of my class and was accepted into a prestigious university.
08:16I even had a new goal, to be a heart surgeon so I could fix broken hearts.
08:20Yes, I see the irony.
08:22And it was there that I met Ian.
08:24I was in the park reading when a soccer ball came flying at my head.
08:27Just as it was about to hit me, Ian appeared out of nowhere.
08:30He leapt for the ball, but it bounced off his fingers and landed at my feet.
08:33Ian had the cutest smile and the most amazing abs.
08:37I mean, this guy was ripped, sculpted to perfection.
08:40It's like he belonged in a museum.
08:42Sorry about that. Uh, can I have the ball back?
08:45Abs? Sorry, I mean abs. I mean, yes, here.
08:48I threw the ball to him.
08:49Wow, nice arm. But it can't compete with your pretty smile.
08:53Ian was super smart and kind.
08:55He made up love poems on the fly and recited them to me.
08:58Your face is like a lamp that brightens my day, and your voice is like a rooster.
09:02No, a bell, a horn.
09:04He bought me flowers, chocolate, and a doll with his face on it.
09:07It was weird, but it's a thought that counts, right?
09:09Before I knew it, we were boyfriend and girlfriend.
09:11I was happy, even better, when my parents gave me the best news ever.
09:15We're getting the castle back, honey. We get to go home.
09:18That's amazing. How did this happen?
09:20It's a long story. When you get in town, we'll explain everything.
09:23Ian and I hopped in the car and drove back to Scotland.
09:26But when I arrived, I was shocked to see Jacob in the living room with my parents.
09:30And he looked amazing. Jacob had a major glow-up.
09:33He was cute before, but now he looks like he'd win a Mr. Universe contest.
09:38Wait, do they even have those?
09:39Then I remembered. Jacob was the enemy. What's he doing here?
09:43We're hosting Jacob's engagement party tonight.
09:45He's marrying Zara.
09:46My blood boiled. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
09:49Are you guys crazy? Jacob's family stole our castle and ruined our lives.
09:53Why on earth would you host his engagement?
09:55That's ancient history. We've worked it all out.
09:58Jacob had cast his wicked spell on my parents, and now they were putty in his hands.
10:02But I couldn't take it. I wasn't just angry.
10:04My heart ached at the thought of Jacob marrying Zara.
10:07Come on, Ian. Let's go.
10:08Okay, babe. I'll just grab our bags.
10:10Put those bags down now. Don't be rude, Andy.
10:13Pick up the bags, Ian. We're leaving. I can't stay in this place another second.
10:17Can you please just listen?
10:19I totally ignored Jacob and his stupid, beautiful face and headed toward the door.
10:23Jacob's parents took a job at another castle, and Jacob pulled some strings to get our jobs back.
10:28When we heard that he was getting married, we offered to throw the engagement party here, and he accepted.
10:33It's the least we could do to thank him.
10:35To be honest, what Jacob did for my parents was pretty nice, but I still didn't trust him.
10:40All I knew for sure was that the last thing I wanted was to see Zara and Jacob together again.
10:44I'd rather put a needle in my eye.
10:46You don't have to come if you don't want to.
10:48But I just wanted to tell you in person that Zara and I are sorry for the way we treated you in high school.
10:53Then Jacob walked out the door.
10:55My parents spent all night convincing me to go to the party.
10:58Eventually, they wore me down.
10:59The night of the party, the place looked spectacular.
11:02My parents and Ian had a great time mingling with all the guests, but I was miserable.
11:07I walked outside to get some air and ran into Jacob.
11:09I didn't think you'd come.
11:11It was a favor to my parents.
11:12So, Ian. He seems like a nice guy. Is he your Prince Charming?
11:16I glanced at Ian.
11:17He was on the dance floor doing a chicken dance, waving his arms and shaking his butt.
11:21He looked less like Prince Charming and more like Prince Fartling at the moment.
11:25He's a nice guy.
11:26Andy, I have something for you.
11:27I saw this and thought of you, so I had to buy it.
11:30Then Jacob gave me a snow globe with a replica of my castle inside.
11:34Next to the tiny castle were two little figurines of a boy and a girl that reminded me of how Jacob and I used to be.
11:40It was so beautiful, it made me cry.
11:42What's wrong? Do you hate it? It's stupid, huh?
11:45I can take it back. You don't have to keep it.
11:47No. It's amazing.
11:49I hugged Jacob, and he hugged me back.
11:51As he held me in his arms, my heart melted.
11:54Suddenly, Jacob pulled away.
11:55I'm sorry. I have to go.
11:57He raced back inside.
11:58The rest of the party was pretty awkward.
12:00Every time I glanced at Jacob, he looked away.
12:02I was relieved when Ian and I finally got back home.
12:05I was still shaken up, but I decided to focus on the present.
12:08Look, babe. Your friend sent us a wedding invitation.
12:11I'm focusing on the present.
12:13But of course, I had to go.
12:14Jacob was my best friend once, and I was happy for him.
12:17Wasn't I?
12:18On the morning of Jacob's wedding, I was a wreck.
12:20Ian found me looking at an old Barbie doll.
12:22I love you, Andy.
12:23But ever since we met, I felt like there was this piece of you I could never reach.
12:27Now I know why. Because you're saving it for someone else.
12:30But Ian...
12:31Come on. We both know the truth.
12:33Jacob meant a lot to me, but that's in the past.
12:35I saw the way you looked at each other.
12:37Go. Tell him how you feel, before it's too late.
12:40I thanked Ian and gave him a big hug.
12:42He was a great boyfriend, but he wasn't my Prince Charming.
12:45Just then, I noticed the time. I was late.
12:47I said goodbye to Ian and sprinted through the rain.
12:49But when I got to the venue, it was empty.
12:51Oh, no. It's over. I was too late.
12:53Andy?
12:54Jacob? Where is everyone?
12:56I called the wedding off.
12:57It wasn't fair to Zara to marry her, when I'm in love with someone else.
13:01As he moved closer, my heart almost burst from my chest.
13:04Maybe you're able to let the past go, but I'm not.
13:07Jacob held me into his arms, and suddenly, without warning,
13:10my lips had a mind of their own, and I kissed him.
13:13He kissed me back and looked into my eyes.
13:15I can't let go either, and I never will again.
13:18Promise?
13:19With all my heart.
13:20So, I got my second chance at fairy tale love.
13:23Not the storybook kind, but the complicated, messy, real-life kind.
13:27And you know what? It's even better.
