Transcript
00:00I never knew my father, but mom and I were really close.
00:04We didn't need anyone else.
00:05We both loved to talk over a cup of hot chocolate in the morning and tell each other the most
00:09interesting things we read on the internet.
00:11Fact-checked, of course.
00:12See?
00:13This male model is walking on the ramp with heels!
00:16Guess what?
00:17Apparently, high heels were originally for men!
00:20After that, we biked to school most mornings on mom's way to work.
00:23One day, when we were in a little bit of a rush, mom and I raced through a light just
00:27as it turned.
00:28I didn't pay attention to a car making left turn, crossing the intersection, and nicking
00:32mom's back tire, sending her flying off her bike while it sped away.
00:35Rage rushed through me, and I threw rocks at the car before it sped away without looking
00:39back.
00:40Oh no!
00:41Mom!
00:42I'll call 911!
00:43We need to get you to the hospital!
00:44Did you see who did this?
00:45No.
00:46Well, let's not wait for the ambulance.
00:49I can take you to the hospital right now.
00:51Here I am, getting into the story without even introducing myself.
00:54Hi, I'm Aurora.
00:55I used to live in Pennsylvania, and now in Australia.
00:59Before I tell you the rest of this story, please like and subscribe!
01:02The man introduced himself to us as Carey, and he was so kind that he checked on us every
01:06day for the week mom was in the hospital.
01:09Once mom came home on crutches, she tried to go back to work at the chocolate factory.
01:13But instead, they let her go!
01:15No job meant we were about to lose our tiny one-bedroom apartment too.
01:19We were struggling.
01:21When like a guardian angel, Carey showed up at the door.
01:24He came to meet us, as it was his last day in Pennsylvania, and when he heard about everything,
01:28he had an idea.
01:29I have plenty of room, and I'd really like to help you and Aurora.
01:34The next thing I knew, we packed and left everything I liked and moved with Carey to
01:38Australia.
01:39He had an enormous mansion!
01:41I had my own bedroom, and my very own study with an art corner!
01:45Carey even hired mom to be his office assistant, and we never had to cook or clean anything.
01:50The upstairs housekeeper made our beds, and the driver took me to school along with Carey's
01:54twin nieces, Julie and Jackie.
01:56You'll have to sit in the boot, like the dog we never had.
01:59There's plenty of room in the back seat.
02:01It's a big SUV.
02:02We're not sitting next to you!
02:04Just because our uncle took you in, does not mean we have to change our lives to make room
02:08for you either.
02:09So yeah, I sat in the back.
02:11Didn't try to make friends with their friends, and I kept to my passion, which is art.
02:15When I wasn't finding art to look at, I was drawing.
02:18That one guy Lee, who looked like a rock star, had his locker right next to mine, and
02:22one day, I accidentally hit him with my locker door, giving him a start.
02:27Watch it, loser!
02:28You almost tore my jacket!
02:30Your wardrobe looks like you can take it.
02:32I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
02:34The door just swung open kinda fast.
02:36Don't let it happen again, or you'll see how fast I can fight back!
02:40He walked away, and I felt really weird.
02:43Like, was that a threat?
02:45Was he actually dangerous?
02:48Or just liked acting tough?
02:50He surprised me the next time we were both there at the same time, when he picked up
02:54a drawing that fell out of my notebook.
02:56This looks like a cross between an old famous Degas and a cool Banksy.
03:00Way to mix decades together.
03:02Well, I'm surprised you know who these artists are!
03:06Maybe you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
03:09He did dress like a rebel, and I'd seen him drive a flashy scooter.
03:13He was one of the most popular boys in school, and super handsome.
03:17But that didn't mean he wasn't smart.
03:19Well, when the book speaks in cliches, you don't expect much.
03:23Touché mademoiselle, I'll try to be more original.
03:27Maybe you should crack this book open to see more of the story.
03:31Are you asking me out in a very roundabout way?
03:34It sounds like you want me to, new girl.
03:36I could oblige, but I don't want to be late for class.
03:40He walked backwards, keeping his eyes on me for a moment, and then turned and went
03:44ahead.
03:45That afternoon, our English literature teacher separated the class into two halves.
03:49My half of the room wrote our names on tiny slips of paper and dropped them in a hat.
03:53The other half of the room each picked one of our names.
03:55Julie and Jackie got each other, which seemed fitting.
03:58I got Aurora.
04:00What do you know?
04:01You can put it back and pick again, I don't mind.
04:03The class laughed, but the teacher said there were no swaps, and we found out that we had
04:07to act out a scene from a Shakespeare play.
04:09Oh, this should be fun.
04:11I bet you want to do Romeo and Juliet.
04:14No, why would I pick that when I could play someone who hates you?
04:17I thought you didn't like cliches.
04:20Obviously we should do, and then we both said it at the exact same time.
04:24Much ado about nothing.
04:26A play where the world could be blowing up.
04:29And people are more concerned with the petty stupid stuff.
04:32Shakespeare really is timeless.
04:34Yeah, stupidity hasn't ended in hundreds of years.
04:37Isn't it always the handsome ones who are the worst?
04:40All the way home, I had to bear Julie and Jackie taunting me about Lee while I sat behind
04:44them in the car.
04:45Is that play where you get killed by the boy you're paired with?
04:48That's definitely the one you should do with Lee.
04:51You two are thinking of fairy tales.
04:52Maybe you should do Cinderella and see how that goes.
04:54I ignored the rest of their jabs.
04:56The next day I was studying in the library when Lee came over, plopped his smelly shoes
05:00on my table, and gave me a weird look.
05:02I snapped.
05:03I picked up the heaviest book I could find and threw it right at his feet.
05:06Oh, sorry.
05:07Ouch!
05:08Ouch!
05:09I laughed as I walked away.
05:12He still followed me, then blocked my path with his arm.
05:15Come to my place after school?
05:17What?
05:18Are you nuts?
05:19Don't we need to practice the play?
05:21My house is perfect for it.
05:23And what?
05:24You've got blisters on your feet?
05:25Can't make it to my place instead?
05:26Ugh.
05:27Does your place have a library and a stash of theater props?
05:31Um.
05:32Not sure.
05:33But okay.
05:34I'll come over.
05:35Apologize for the locker incident.
05:37Now.
05:38And then it would be a yes.
05:39Promise.
05:40Yes.
05:41I'm sorry, beautiful.
05:43Did you hear that?
05:44Or is it just me?
05:46Okay.
05:47Apology accepted.
05:48Anyway.
05:49I'm good at lying.
05:50But you promised me.
05:51So see ya.
05:52Ugh.
05:53He stormed off and I went to his house after school that day.
05:56Only his parents' house was an even bigger mansion than Carrie's.
06:00And the art on the walls was better than a museum collection.
06:04The walls of every artist I'd ever heard of.
06:07Wow.
06:08Wow.
06:09Wow!
06:10Lee sprayed his mouth with some breath freshener before we started reading some lines together.
06:14That's weird.
06:15It's not weird.
06:16It's chivalrous.
06:17I think you should also do the same for your feet.
06:20What other fun facts should I know before I have to stand close to you?
06:23Okay, Miss U.S. of A. Let's just focus on the homework, shall we?
06:29When Carrie's driver came to pick me up, he asked Lee why he hadn't been around.
06:33I guess he knew him well, but that must be because Julie and Jackie had invited him to
06:36some party at home.
06:38As I reached home, I was surprised to see Mom and Carrie sitting close, watching a movie
06:41together.
06:42Well, I didn't mind.
06:43But later that week, Mom seemed upset after a nice dinner out with Carrie.
06:47When I asked her what was wrong, I was shocked at her answer.
06:51Carrie and I have gotten closer, so I guess he felt comfortable telling me the truth.
06:56He was driving the car that hit me.
06:58What?
06:59He deceived us and I thought of him as an angel all the time.
07:02He should be in jail.
07:03I'm going to call the police and tell them everything.
07:06Mom tried to stop me, but I stormed off and took a bus to the police station.
07:09The kind officer told me that they had no jurisdiction for something that happened in
07:13a different country.
07:14I was so angry.
07:15So I started to think of ways to hurt Carrie like he hurt Mom.
07:18I could let the air out of his tires, but that really only hurts his driver.
07:23I could mix salt into his coffee, but it might not bubble over like a soda would.
07:27I ended up taking scissors and cutting a slit in every pair of pants he had.
07:31But in one day, they were all replaced and Mom made me apologize.
07:34Aurora, you have to forgive him.
07:36I have.
07:37He's giving us a better life than I ever could.
07:40But he hurt you and he lied?
07:43He didn't mean to, and he cares deeply.
07:46Maybe he has you fooled, but I am not.
07:49Because of everything, I was so distracted, even while doing my homework at Lee's house.
07:53I guess he noticed how quiet I was because he did something I least expected.
07:57Salsa!
07:58He kept on dancing, making these silly faces, and then he started tumbling over the furniture
08:02like a circus clown, which made me laugh till I cried.
08:06Eventually, he sat down next to me and took me by surprise when he hugged me.
08:11Why'd-
08:12You look upset about something, and I've learned over the years that a hug is like
08:16magic.
08:17I wish I had them once, but since I didn't, I'd rather give them to people whom I like.
08:22A lot.
08:23I didn't push him away.
08:25I knew that I needed that hug, but in that moment, I knew he needed it maybe more than
08:30me.
08:31I was happy, and we started spending more time together.
08:34He even offered to carry my books, started sitting with me at lunch, and when I told
08:38him about the chocolate factory where I used to live, he had hot chocolate waiting in a
08:42thermos for our next rehearsal.
08:44We should rehearse the scene all the way through since we have to do it in class tomorrow.
08:49He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes.
08:52When I went home that night, I completely understood the expression, walking on clouds.
08:57Maybe our life in Australia was better than it ever might have been.
09:01I wanted the good vibe to last, so I couldn't face riding with the nieces to school the
09:05next day.
09:06I took the bus.
09:07On my way to class, I noticed Lee talking to Julie and Jackie, so I ducked around the
09:11corner so I could listen without them seeing me.
09:14Then, I was shocked when he leaned closer to Jackie.
09:17Well, I am that good of an actor.
09:19Okay, but you can quit now.
09:22I don't like this anymore.
09:23You were just supposed to spend time with her to see how Jackie and I are so much better.
09:26I'm missing my boyfriend.
09:28Aren't you missing me too?
09:30Of course.
09:31I'm doing this for you, right?
09:32You two came up with this plan.
09:34Plan?
09:36Getting close to me was all some sort of game for them?
09:39He didn't want me any more than Carrie wanted us.
09:41I was fuming.
09:42I raced to the bathroom to pull myself together and set my own plan in motion.
09:47When it was time to perform our scene in class, I put on the low-cut costume our maid delivered
09:51for me with an extra prop I asked her to bring.
09:54Lee whispered in my ear before we began,
09:56Aurora, you look amazing.
09:58Wait for the next surprise.
10:00When he tried to squeeze my hand, I conveniently pulled away to grab my little paper bag with
10:05the prop inside.
10:06In our scene, we worked out that Lee would casually take a bite from an apple.
10:10We ad-libbed and made up some added dialogue when I handed him a caramel apple instead.
10:15What a treat to have caramel.
10:17You'd think it was my birthday.
10:19I tried to keep from laughing, but his face was priceless as he took a bite and found
10:23it was a caramel onion.
10:25The whole class laughed at him, but he kept going, like he wanted to prove he'd do anything
10:29for me.
10:30After class, Lee grabbed my arm.
10:33What was that?
10:35Maybe Jackie, your real girlfriend, has some of your mouth freshener for you.
10:39Wait, how'd you find out?
10:42I didn't want to hear any of his lies, so I ran out and left school early to go home
10:46to find mom.
10:47I begged to move back to Pennsylvania, but mom showed me a giant new ring right before
10:51Cary walked in.
10:52Aurora, I know it's fast, but Cary and I feel it was fate that brought us together.
10:58I didn't know that my trip to America would help me find the two people I care about more
11:02than anything in the world.
11:04I'm very sorry that it had to be through an accident.
11:08It was an honest mistake, and I don't want to lose both of you.
11:11I was beginning to soften toward Cary.
11:14He was really showing he cared.
11:16I guess that look in his eyes was the dad moment I'd been missing.
11:20I'd been overthinking it, but he'd done so much for us.
11:23Clearly, my anger took the best of me.
11:25And if you still don't agree, I'm not going to press your mom to stay.
11:29And you know, I've had enough punishment as I had those piles you wished for me.
11:34At least take it back.
11:36I'm sorry.
11:37But I never want to go back to that school, though.
11:41They're hateful.
11:42As I told them what happened, I didn't see that Lee had been let into the room.
11:46You only think that because you don't have all of the information.
11:50Didn't you say you liked a fact check?
11:52In that moment, I knew it was time I took charge of my own narrative.
11:56Lee looked like he'd been crying, but even his explanation didn't change my mind.
12:00I never meant to hurt you.
12:02I was trying to find the right time to tell Jackie that she and I were through and how
12:06much I really do like you.
12:08That getting to know you was absolutely the best thing ever.
12:12Wow.
12:13That's sweet.
12:14And I know what I'm doing.
12:15Lee, you are exactly the kind of guy I want to be dating.
12:18And Carrie, you've done so much for mom and me.
12:21Only I just realized that I don't want to be an extra in anyone's story or a prize in
12:25some twisted game.
12:26I don't need any grand gestures to know my worth or dictate my happiness either.
12:30Lee's eyes held a mixture of admiration and surprise.
12:34Carrie and mom both looked like they respected what I was saying.
12:36I'm going back to Pennsylvania, not because I'm running away from what happened here,
12:40but because I've got dreams to chase.
12:42I want to go to art school and build my life on my own terms.
12:45Lee remained silent, but I could tell he liked what I was saying.
12:48But what about us?
12:49You will always be a part of my story, but it's time for me to write the next chapter
12:53in my own way.
12:55Carrie, you and mom have a chance at happiness.
12:57I won't stand in the way of that.
12:59Lee, if what we have is real, it'll survive the distance and the test of time.
13:03The room was filled with a sense of understanding as Carrie told a maid to pack my things.
13:07When I hugged my mom goodbye, I whispered,
13:09I'm doing this for us, mom, so we can both be strong independently.
13:13I left the mansion with my head held high, not as a girl swept up in a whirlwind of events,
13:18but as a young woman taking her first steps into a future she was crafting for herself.
13:23On the plane back to Pennsylvania, I sketched a collage of lessons learned over the past
13:26few months, friendships formed, and a path leading to a bold, unapologetic future of
13:32my own design.
13:33Of course, I included a kiss with Lee in that future.
13:36Stay tuned for the story of when he visits me.
