00:00Hi, I'm Ashlyn from Argentina.
00:02And before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:04My brother Carter is my twin.
00:06We don't look anything alike, but we've always
00:08been competitive.
00:09On the day we were born, we even fought
00:11to be the one to come out first.
00:13My dad was a professional soccer player,
00:15and my mom was a really successful business executive.
00:17They were both super competitive and encouraged
00:20us to be the same.
00:21Everything was a competition.
00:23My brother and I competed to see who could crawl the fastest,
00:26who could walk first, hold their breath the longest,
00:28and draw the best picture.
00:30The winner always got a reward.
00:32At the time, it was friendly and fun.
00:34We just loved to try and outdo each other.
00:36Sometimes, the boy next door, Nico,
00:38would come over and be the judge.
00:39He had a cool camera and loved to take photos,
00:42mostly of me making weird faces.
00:44Carter thought he could make even weirder faces.
00:46So of course, it became a competition.
00:49And Carter wins again.
00:51What?
00:51Come on, Nico.
00:52Why are you always siding with Carter?
00:54That wasn't even close, and you know it.
00:56You heard what Nico said.
00:58I won.
00:58We always play fair, sis.
01:00Whatever.
01:01Carter and Nico became best friends
01:03and loved teaming up against me, which was so annoying.
01:07Still, I loved my brother.
01:08He meant the world to me, so I was always a gracious loser.
01:12But Carter, not so much.
01:14You cheated.
01:15I did not.
01:15I beat you fair and square.
01:17It only got worse as we got older.
01:19My parents pushed us to compete with each other even more.
01:22Winning is everything.
01:24If I don't win, my team loses.
01:26And if I don't win, my company will fail,
01:28and I'll be out of a job.
01:30But does that mean that everything
01:31has to be a competition?
01:33Of course it does, dummy.
01:35I just wanted to have a normal relationship with my brother,
01:38where we didn't always have to prove that we
01:40were better than each other.
01:41But whatever I did, he had to do it better.
01:44I even let him win just so he wouldn't hate me.
01:46Not again.
01:47I guess you're just better than me.
01:49What can I say?
01:50Then one day, he crossed a line, and everything changed.
01:54When we were in the 10th grade, I
01:55was getting straight A's, I was captain of the girls' soccer
01:58team, and got the lead in the school play.
02:01Carter got B's, didn't even make the boys' soccer team,
02:04and only got a tiny part in the play with no lines.
02:07He hated that I was doing better than him.
02:09He stopped speaking to me in school
02:11unless it was to say something mean in front of his friends.
02:14Hi, Carter.
02:14You want to eat lunch together?
02:16Wow, you guys smell something.
02:18Someone really needs to take a bath.
02:20I could tell that Nico didn't like it,
02:22but he never stood up for me.
02:23When I announced that I was running for class president,
02:26Carter ran against me.
02:27Vote for me if you want longer lunch periods.
02:30Vote for Ashlyn if you want twice the homework.
02:32And then he humiliated me in front of the entire school.
02:36You can't be class president if you have secrets,
02:38and my sister has a huge one.
02:41What are you talking about, Carter?
02:42I don't have any secrets.
02:44That's not what your diary says.
02:46My body froze like an icicle.
02:48I did have one big secret, and in that diary,
02:51I must have drawn Nico's name 10,000 times
02:54in every color, shape, and size.
02:56Carter opened one of the pages and held it up
02:58so everyone could see.
02:59The entire school burst out laughing, and I just exploded.
03:04I attacked Carter with all the strength that I had,
03:06and it took five teachers to pull me off.
03:09We were both disqualified from running for president
03:11and suspended for a week.
03:13I was removed as captain of the soccer team,
03:15and they gave the lead in the school play to another girl.
03:18I was devastated.
03:20I couldn't get over how my own brother could betray me,
03:22and now so much of my hard work had gone down the drain.
03:26Even my parents were furious with us,
03:28but I knew that Carter was secretly happy.
03:30In his mind, we were equals again.
03:32My life was ruined, and my grades declined.
03:36It just wasn't fair.
03:37Then one day, I was crying by my locker
03:40when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
03:42You okay?
03:42I turned around to see Nico.
03:44My heart started pounding in my chest.
03:47I was so embarrassed I tried to run away,
03:49but I tripped over my shoelace and fell.
03:51But Nico caught me.
03:52For a moment, I just lay there in his arms,
03:54staring into his big blue eyes.
03:57Ashlyn, you okay?
03:58Yeah, I'm fine, thank you.
04:00Listen, don't be embarrassed about the diary.
04:03Carter was a jerk for doing that,
04:04but the truth is, I only started coming over to your house
04:07in the first place because I had a crush on you.
04:10Really?
04:10Yeah, and when I would go home,
04:12I'd print out the photos I took of you
04:14and just stare at them.
04:15Kinda creepy, right?
04:17About as creepy as having your name
04:19written all over my diary.
04:21Over the next few weeks,
04:22Nico and I spent a lot of time together.
04:24And at first, Carter tried to ignore it,
04:26but I could tell that it was driving him crazy.
04:29I was happy again.
04:30My grades went back up,
04:32and the girl who took my role in the school play got sick,
04:34so I got it back.
04:36I even scored the winning goal
04:37in our soccer championship game
04:39and was awarded Most Valuable Player.
04:41Carter finally couldn't take it
04:43and confronted Nico and me in the hallway.
04:45Nico, you can either be my best friend
04:47or hang out with my loser sister,
04:49but you can't have it both ways.
04:51What's it gonna be?
04:52Everyone stopped to watch.
04:53I was too terrified to speak.
04:55I just stared at Nico,
04:57looked like a little boy lost in the woods.
04:59But then he made his decision and walked over to Carter.
05:02I rushed up to Nico and grabbed his hand.
05:04Nico, this is stupid.
05:06There's no reason you have to choose.
05:08But he does, and he did.
05:10Sorry, sis.
05:11Nico shoved me away,
05:12and my heart shattered into a million little pieces.
05:16What a jerk.
05:17That night, I burst into Carter's room and confronted him.
05:20What is wrong with you, Carter?
05:22Why do you always treat me like I'm your worst enemy?
05:25Because I have to, Ashlyn.
05:26What do you mean?
05:27It's mom and dad and the stupid competitions
05:30they make us do, isn't it?
05:31You're worried that you're gonna disappoint them.
05:33I never said that.
05:34I know that's what it was.
05:36Look, I forgive you for everything,
05:38but let's stop this right now
05:40before it completely destroys our relationship.
05:42Please.
05:43For a moment, it looked like I was getting through to him.
05:46He seemed so vulnerable.
05:48I swear, I thought I saw a tear in his eye.
05:51It's just, it's just what?
05:53But then his body tensed back up
05:55like he was suddenly possessed by a demon.
05:57It's just that you're a loser and I will always beat you.
06:00Now get out.
06:01The play was coming up in a couple of weeks,
06:03so I made a point of staying away from Carter.
06:06I knew he would try to sabotage it for me.
06:08Then one day, as I was rehearsing my lines,
06:11Nico walked over.
06:12Hey, Ashlyn.
06:13What do you want?
06:14I wanna apologize for my behavior.
06:16Carter is my friend,
06:17but he has no right to control who I talk to.
06:20I went with him that day
06:21because I wanted to help him see
06:23that what he was doing was wrong,
06:25but I was a real jerk
06:26and if you never wanna talk to me again, I deserve it.
06:30At that moment, I realized how much I truly loved Nico,
06:34so I let my anger go.
06:36And from that point on, Nico and I were inseparable.
06:39On the night of the play,
06:41I heard that there was gonna be
06:42a huge talent agent in the audience.
06:44This was my big chance,
06:45but when I got up on stage, I completely forgot my lines.
06:49I, um, I had been so lost in my thoughts about Nico
06:53that I lost focus on the play.
06:55The theater was silent,
06:56but I could see Carter sitting all the way in the back
06:58next to Nico and he was laughing.
07:01Then it hit me.
07:02This was his plan the whole time.
07:04He sent Nico to distract me.
07:06I was furious, but I wasn't about to let Carter win,
07:10so I gathered myself, took a deep breath,
07:12and suddenly, I remembered my lines.
07:15I poured all of my anger into the performance
07:18and when the play ended, I got a standing ovation.
07:21I couldn't believe it.
07:22As I was leaving, the talent agent ran up to me.
07:25You were fabulous up there.
07:27I think you could be a star.
07:29Me, really?
07:31Yes, you, Ashlyn.
07:33As she handed me her card, I looked for Carter,
07:35not because I wanted to rub it in his face,
07:37but because I wanted to share it with him
07:40For just a moment,
07:41I thought maybe he would be happy for me, but he was gone.
07:44I felt like such an idiot for even thinking that.
07:46Then Nico came up to me.
07:48You were amazing up there.
07:50No thanks to you and Carter, you tricked me.
07:53I didn't know about his plan until tonight, I swear.
07:55When he told me I should spend time with you,
07:57I thought he had changed,
07:58but it was just a plan to distract you.
08:01I'm done being his friend.
08:02Why should I believe you, Nico?
08:04Because I love you, Ashlyn.
08:06And then he kissed me.
08:08I nearly melted right there in the middle of the theater.
08:11But then I caught a glimpse of Carter in the doorway.
08:14He looked sad.
08:15Over the next few months, I started going out on auditions
08:18and right after graduation, I booked my first movie.
08:21Overnight, I became a huge action star.
08:24Nico was there for me every step of the way.
08:27Every time I booked a new role,
08:28Nico would come and visit me on set,
08:30but I barely ever saw Carter.
08:32He started staying out late at night and skipping school
08:35so he didn't graduate.
08:36After that, Carter moved to another city.
08:39But I hated not having Carter around.
08:41I worked so hard to get where I am, Nico.
08:44And while I should be happy with my success,
08:47still, I can't stop thinking about Carter.
08:49He's an adult, Ashlyn.
08:51He chose to act the way that he did.
08:53Instead of trying to make himself better,
08:54he tried to tear you down and it didn't work.
08:57I know, but I don't think it's all his fault.
08:59My parents turned us against each other
09:01from the day we were born.
09:03They taught us to be this way.
09:05A couple years later, Nico asked me to marry him.
09:07I wanted to invite Carter to the wedding,
09:09but no one had heard from him or knew where he was.
09:12I had an old number for him and I often left him messages,
09:15but he never returned my calls.
09:17Then I got nominated for a prestigious acting award
09:20for one of my action movies.
09:21I was gonna be on TV in front of millions of people
09:24at the award show.
09:25So every designer wanted me to wear their fancy dresses
09:29and their really expensive jewelry.
09:31I chose a stunning yellow diamond necklace
09:33that was worth millions of dollars.
09:35I left a message for Carter
09:37telling him about the great news.
09:38I wasn't sure if he would ever receive it,
09:40but it felt good to hear his voice.
09:42The night of the award show, something crazy happened.
09:45Nico and I stopped at my parents' house
09:47so my mom could help me get ready before the show.
09:49As Nico and I were walking to our limo,
09:51a robber wearing a mask jumped out in front of us.
09:53He shoved Nico to the ground
09:55and snatched the yellow diamond necklace.
09:57I sprang into action and used the kung fu moves
09:59I'd learned from my movies.
10:01I punched the robber in the face,
10:02kicked him in the stomach,
10:04grabbed the necklace and then pinned him to the ground.
10:06Ouch, that hurts.
10:07I recognized the robber's voice.
10:09I snatched off his mask.
10:11It was Carter.
10:12My parents heard the commotion and ran outside.
10:14Carter, what are you doing?
10:16I'm so sorry, Ashlyn.
10:18I should have listened to you,
10:19but I was so obsessed with winning
10:21that I ended up losing everything.
10:23And now look at me.
10:24I haven't eaten in days.
10:26So when I heard your message
10:27about the award show and the necklace,
10:29I decided to steal it.
10:30It was a dumb idea.
10:31It's okay, Carter.
10:33No, it's not.
10:34I was a horrible brother and a worse friend.
10:36I hope that one day you can forgive me.
10:38This is all our fault.
10:39We were wrong to always push you two
10:42to compete against each other.
10:43We didn't realize the damage that we were doing.
10:45We are so sorry.
10:47We've always been so incredibly proud of both of you.
10:51I forgave Carter and my parents.
10:53Carter and Nico held my hand as the host took the stage.
10:56Then the host called my name.
10:58Get up there, Ashlyn.
10:59You won.
11:00I walked onto the stage to accept my award.
11:03When I looked out and saw Carter, Nico,
11:05and my parents smiling up at me,
11:07I couldn't help but cry.
11:08It was a dream come true.
