00:00Hey there, I'm Liz from Small Town, USA.
00:07Please like and subscribe.
00:08Growing up, my life was a series of patched up clothes and hand-me-down shoes.
00:12Dad worked long hours at his construction job just to make ends meet.
00:15Our tiny house creaked and groaned like it was about to collapse any minute.
00:20Meals were simple and repetitive.
00:21Beans, rice, and more beans.
00:24I shared a bed with my parents because we couldn't afford a separate one for me.
00:27Once when I was seven, I had an accident in the middle of the night and wet the bed.
00:31As I woke up and I realized what had happened, I started to cry.
00:34But instead of getting frustrated, Dad just hugged me and wiped my tears away.
00:38It's okay, Liz.
00:40Accidents happen.
00:41We'll clean it up and everything will be fine.
00:43Life was tough, but I always felt loved.
00:46When I turned 16, things became tougher as Dad got super sick and he needed heart surgery.
00:51He couldn't work anymore, and I got a job as a waitress to help Mom out.
00:54A few weeks later, I noticed this rich-looking guy around my age who would come into the
00:58restaurant daily, and I'd always catch him staring at me.
01:01I ignored it for the first few days, but then I'd had enough.
01:04Hey, what's your problem?
01:06Whoopsie.
01:07You don't need to clean it.
01:08I wasn't going to clean it.
01:10Oh, okay, yeah, I mean, you don't work for me.
01:12I mean, I'd be lucky if a pretty girl with those pretty eyes worked for me, but only
01:16old people work for me now.
01:18Not that I'm against old people, like, ageism is bad.
01:21Just tell me why you're here and why you keep staring at me.
01:24Are you a pervert?
01:25Oh, no, I'm not.
01:26I'm here for a reason, but I'm not sure I can talk to you yet.
01:29And then he just left.
01:30That was so weird.
01:32He disappeared for a few weeks, and I thought that was the end of it.
01:35But then one day, he came back and said he was ready to talk.
01:39Okay, my name is Steve, and I think you're my neighbor's granddaughter.
01:42The Richard family?
01:43Your dad was super wealthy, but he had problems with his family and was cut off.
01:47You're supposed to be super wealthy, too.
01:49It hurts to see you struggling like this.
01:51So yeah, I just can't be quiet anymore.
01:53I obviously thought it was a prank, but then he showed me pictures that made me stop short.
01:58That was my dad in his younger years, looking happy with some people in front of a mansion.
02:03There's more.
02:04Maybe we can talk after your shift?
02:06Look, I don't know who you are and what you're trying to do, but please, just leave me alone.
02:11And I left before he could say another word.
02:13But all this information was making my head spin, and I asked mom about it that night.
02:18Oh, Liz, it seems like our situation will never get better, so I think it's time to
02:23tell you.
02:24Your grandparents are super wealthy, but your dad thinks they're dishonest people, maybe
02:28even thieves.
02:29He tried to expose them once, but when they found out, they cut him off for good.
02:32Please, don't talk to him about any of this.
02:34I have their address.
02:36Just go there and try talking to them.
02:38Maybe their hearts will soften when they see you, and they'll help with dad's surgery.
02:42It's worth a try.
02:43This was a lot to process, but dad's health wasn't gonna get better, and we needed money.
02:48So after a week, I made a decision to go.
02:50I told dad that I got accepted for a free college course and that I would be away for
02:54some weeks.
02:55The next day, I took a train to the state where my grandparents lived and went to the
02:59address mom had given me.
03:00I nervously rang the bell, and a butler opened the door.
03:03Yes?
03:04May I help you?
03:05Hi, I'm Liz.
03:06I...
03:07I think I'm related to the people who live here.
03:09I'm their granddaughter.
03:10That's impossible.
03:11Their granddaughter already lives here.
03:13She's been with us for months.
03:14You better leave before I call security.
03:16The butler slammed the door in my face.
03:18I started walking away, feeling so confused.
03:21I'd just gone down the block when I bumped into Steve.
03:24Liz, what are you doing here?
03:25What do you think I'm doing here?
03:27No, no, you can't be here.
03:29Come with me.
03:30Steve took me to his mansion and sneaked me inside his bedroom.
03:33Quick, get in here.
03:34What's going on?
03:35Who saw you at that house?
03:37Just the butler.
03:38And he said the family's granddaughter already lives there.
03:41Do they have more grandchildren?
03:42No, your father's their only son.
03:45That girl is an imposter your grandparents have hired to be you.
03:48Listen, I can't explain more right now.
03:50I just wish you told me you were coming so I could have planned better.
03:53Okay, nothing is making sense.
03:55And why are you hiding me?
03:57No one should see you around here.
03:59And you need a place to stay, right?
04:01Just stay here.
04:02And please, trust me.
04:03By the way, your eyes are beautiful.
04:05Yeah, you told me before.
04:07Oh, okay, well, thank you.
04:09I mean, you're welcome.
04:10I'll get you some food.
04:11Don't come out.
04:12That night, I slept on Steve's bed and he slept on the couch.
04:15Except I didn't sleep much.
04:17I had so many questions.
04:18Why would my grandparents hire an imposter and not contact me instead?
04:22In the morning, Steve suggested that I leave the mansion in disguise to avoid being recognized.
04:27He pulled out some baggy clothes and a boy's wig from his closet.
04:30Are you serious?
04:31Who would recognize me around here anyway?
04:33The butler might have told the Richard family that a girl with your description turned up
04:37yesterday, claiming to be their granddaughter.
04:39We need to be careful.
04:41There is no way I'm wearing that.
04:43Go buy me a girl's wig.
04:44It's your plan, so it's your responsibility.
04:46Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
04:48I'll go get one right away.
04:50He got me a blonde wig, glasses, and some dresses, and we sneaked out of the house to
04:54have breakfast at a cafe.
04:55Look, I need some answers now.
04:58Why would my grandparents hire a girl to pretend to be me?
05:01Okay, I'll explain everything.
05:03Everyone around here knows that your dad's great-aunt threatened to cut your grandparents
05:07off from her unless they set things right with your dad, and everybody expected that
05:11he would reject them.
05:12And then a few days later, boom, they suddenly had a granddaughter living with them.
05:16They introduced her to your great-aunt as proof that they'd mended relations with your
05:20dad.
05:21They even faked her DNA test.
05:22Well, how did you figure out she's fake?
05:24Because I heard her arguing with your grandparents one night.
05:27She was asking them for money, and they were shouting at her that she'd get it as long
05:32as she kept acting like their granddaughter.
05:34That's when I started tracking you down.
05:35Oh, God, this is too much to process, and my grandparents aren't going to help me,
05:40are they?
05:41They'll never admit I'm their granddaughter now when everyone thinks the other girl is.
05:45Yeah, they're terrible people, and they won't help you out.
05:48But the imposter girl, Lily, she goes to my school.
05:51Maybe if we can get close to her, we can get her to admit that she's only acting as their
05:55granddaughter.
05:56If we have some proof, we can go to your dad's great-aunt with it.
05:59I'm sure she'll help you out.
06:00Steve offered to let me stay as long as I needed, and even got me enrolled in his school
06:04where everything was so fancy and intimidating.
06:07During lunch, I was sitting with Steve and his friends in the cafeteria when suddenly
06:11a girl plopped her butt next to him.
06:14Oh, hi, Steve.
06:15You look so good today.
06:17Who's this girl with you?
06:18Don't tell me she's your girlfriend, God forbid.
06:20You promised you'd date me soon, yeah?
06:22No, Lily, I didn't.
06:24And this is my friend Liz.
06:26Liz, this is Lily, remember?
06:28I told you about her.
06:29Oh, you've been talking about me?
06:31How sweet.
06:32Liz, please knock some sense into your handsome friend and tell him that we're meant to be,
06:37okay?
06:38And by the way, you look ugly, which is good because I don't have to worry about you being
06:41a threat.
06:42Really?
06:43Well, I think I look super pretty and that's bothering you, which is why you're insulting
06:48me for no good reason.
06:49No, I'm insulting you for a good reason, which is that you're ugly.
06:53Anyway, Liz, why are you here at our school?
06:56Just here to get a good education, like everyone else.
06:59Oh, wow.
07:00I bet you don't even know the latest dance craze that's been going around the school.
07:04How can you even call yourself a student here?
07:06A dance craze?
07:07Oh, I'd love to see you demonstrate it, Lily.
07:10Lily hesitated, then stood up in the middle of the cafeteria.
07:13She began to do a bizarre dance that looked like a mix between the chicken dance and the
07:17Macarena.
07:18Everyone in the cafeteria stopped to watch, and laughter erupted as Lily flailed her arms
07:23wildly.
07:24Realizing she'd made a fool of herself, Lily stopped dancing and glared at me.
07:29Well, I hope you're happy.
07:30You just made me look ridiculous in front of the entire school.
07:33Actually, you did that all by yourself, Lily.
07:36But don't worry, your dance moves were definitely memorable.
07:39Suddenly, Lily attacked me and I wasn't taking it.
07:42We fought like wildcats till Steve and some other boys pulled us apart.
07:46I'm coming back for you, you lizard!
07:48You're gonna regret this!
07:49Whoa, I didn't expect you to fight like that.
07:51Are you okay?
07:52Also, the plan is to get closer to Lily.
07:55And now she hates you.
07:56I know, I know.
07:57But she's so annoying.
07:59And she attacked me first, but I should've kept my cool.
08:02I guess all the recent stress has just gotten to me.
08:05I'll go apologize to her.
08:07The next day, I decided to visit Lily at her house because I was also curious about my
08:11grandparents.
08:12I got her a stuffed flamingo as a gift, and made my best I'm sorry face.
08:16Hey, Lily.
08:17I just came by to make things right between us.
08:21Mmm, no.
08:22Like leave.
08:23Shoo!
08:24Oh wait, is that a flamingo?
08:25How'd you know it was my favorite fish?
08:27Okay, okay, you can come in and get to know me, cause yeah, I'm amazing.
08:31But remember, I'm watching you like a hawk, a hawk with glasses, because I don't trust
08:37you.
08:38Okay then.
08:39By the way, I love the roses on your dress.
08:41Thanks, I water them every day.
08:43But don't think I'm fooled by your compliments.
08:45I still don't trust you.
08:47Weirdly enough, I didn't have the worst time with Lily, even though she was crazy.
08:52She challenged me to a game of speed chess and beat me every round.
08:56Checkmate.
08:57You suck at this.
08:58Checkmate.
08:59Loser.
09:00Then she wanted us to play Scrabble, and when I beat her, she flipped the board over.
09:04I don't like this game.
09:05Let's get something to eat.
09:06I went down to the kitchen with her, and I started feeling angry at my grandparents.
09:09They had enough food here to feed an army.
09:12How could they let their son suffer in poverty?
09:14Just as Lily and I were taking a tray of food upstairs, we came across my grandmother, who
09:18was going bonkers on a maid.
09:20How dare you step on my dress?
09:22Didn't I scold you just this morning?
09:24It's like I need to scold you three times a day.
09:27Maybe I should just fire you.
09:28Grandma, I like this maid.
09:30Please, don't fire her.
09:32And also, um, we have company.
09:34My grandmother glared at me coldly, then turned to Lily.
09:37Did you ask my permission to have company over?
09:40I don't want some greedy leech stuck to you because of our status and money.
09:44Look at her, piling food onto a tray like she's never even seen food before.
09:48What?
09:49No, I didn't.
09:50Leave.
09:51Leave this very instant.
09:52I looked at Lily, who was red-faced and silent, and I just ran out of there.
09:57Steve, my grandma is a mean, awful witch, and I don't think I'll get Lily to admit
10:01anything.
10:02I should just go home.
10:03No, you can't give up so easily.
10:05You need to expose these horrible people to your great aunt.
10:07You deserve to have a better life, Liz.
10:09I don't know, Steve.
10:10Why do you care so much?
10:12Because I don't know.
10:14Maybe I'm like your dad and I can't see evil and do nothing, like a truth warrior kind
10:18of thing.
10:19I'm Robin Hood, but I don't steal from the rich and give to the poor, so I'm not
10:22like Robin Hood.
10:23But come on, smile, girl.
10:24Oh no, I can't see.
10:26Your blinding smile lit up the entire room.
10:28I mean, the entire house.
10:30No, the entire neighborhood.
10:31Oh no, the entire...
10:32Shut up and let's go for a walk.
10:35As we walked around the neighborhood, Steve's easygoing nature made me feel relaxed and
10:39comfortable, like we'd known each other for ages.
10:41Suddenly, I grabbed him and kissed him, and he kissed me back.
10:45But the next day at school, we'd just walked into the hallway when Lily came running and
10:49threw her arms around me.
10:51I'm really sorry about Grandma yesterday.
10:53She was just PMSing.
10:54Isn't she, like, 70 years old?
10:56Yeah, so?
10:57Listen, she's really not that bad, but I'm so sorry she screamed at you.
11:01I was having such a good time, and for the first time since I came here, I felt like
11:04I had a friend.
11:05Please, don't stop being my friend.
11:07Ugh, fine, I won't, but I'm not hanging out at your house again.
11:11Deal.
11:12I hate that place anyway.
11:13So, Bestie, have you talked to Stevie here about how he should stop resisting my charms?
11:17Uh, yeah, I'm still working on it.
11:20If I wanted to stay close to Lily, Stevie and I had to hide our feelings for each other
11:24in school.
11:25But afterwards, we would have the most amazing time together and really got to know each
11:28other.
11:29One morning, he surprised me with a hot air balloon ride.
11:32We climbed into the basket and took off, watching the sun rise over the horizon.
11:36Liz, I never thought I could feel this way about someone.
11:38I can't imagine my world without you now.
11:41Steve, I feel the same.
11:43You've been my rock through all of this.
11:45As we shared a tender kiss, it felt as if the whole world had melted away, leaving just
11:49the two floating in our own little universe.
11:52Lily and I were growing closer, too, and one day, we were supposed to go to the mall after
11:56school, but she blew me off saying something important had come up.
11:59I saw her leave and decided to follow her.
12:01She took a bus to the other end of town and then ran to a woman waiting at the bus stop.
12:05Oh, Mom, I've missed you so much.
12:08I started recording everything on my phone, breathlessly.
12:11Here's some more money, Mom.
12:12I have to stay for a few more months before the Richards give me the last payment.
12:16Will it be enough for now?
12:17Yes, honey, thank you.
12:18I know how hard this has been for you.
12:20Well, at least I sleep on a nice bed, eat nice food, and go to a nice school.
12:24But yeah, it's so hard.
12:26That rich old couple is horrible, and I hate it when I have to meet people and pretend
12:30to be their loving granddaughter.
12:32I hope all their teeth rot soon so they can never enjoy food again.
12:35I snuck away before Lily could spot me.
12:37The video would be enough proof to convince my great-aunt.
12:41This is everything we need, Liz.
12:42Your great-aunt is hosting a big charity gala next weekend, and many influential people
12:46will be attending.
12:47It'll be the perfect opportunity to expose your grandparents to her and the world.
12:51But what about Lily?
12:53I'm exposing her too, right?
12:54And it seems like her mom needs money too.
12:57But you are their actual granddaughter, and you deserve the help your great-aunt can give
13:00you.
13:01You can't worry about other people right now.
13:03Maybe he was right, and I don't know how much longer Dad could go without the surgery.
13:07That weekend, Steve and I went to the event.
13:09I felt super nervous, but Steve reassured me that everything would be okay.
13:13Soon after we entered the hall, Lily grabbed a mic from the stage.
13:16Testing, testing.
13:17Lily is pretty.
13:18Yep, it works fine.
13:19And then she approached me, and suddenly, she pulled hard at my wig and took it off.
13:24Look, everyone.
13:25See how fake this girl is?
13:27And I thought she was my friend, but I've discovered she's a fake snake.
13:31Oh, yeah.
13:32I saw you kissing Steve in the park one day, you big liar.
13:35Okay, so?
13:36Steve doesn't like you, and you're going to call me a liar when your entire existence
13:40here is fake?
13:42Someone from the crowd shouted, who are you girls, and why are you causing so much drama?
13:46Let me tell everyone who I am.
13:48I'm Liz, the real granddaughter of the Richard family.
13:51And this girl right here, she's a con witch.
13:54The Richard family are liars.
13:56They cut off their own son because he couldn't stay quiet, and wanted to expose them for
14:00their stealing and corruption.
14:02This innocent girl has been living with her sick dad, struggling to make ends meet, while
14:05her grandparents are billionaires who hired a girl to steal more wealth from their great
14:10aunt.
14:11Everyone stared at the Richard family in shocked silence.
14:14Just then, the great aunt stepped closer to me.
14:17You do look like your father, but how can I know you're telling the truth?
14:21I showed her the video of Lily and her mom, and even my DNA test.
14:25Really?
14:26You will believe this lying, dishonest beggar?
14:28Shut up.
14:29How dare you?
14:30You're the liars.
14:31You thought you and your wife would fool me and get away with it?
14:34Get lost.
14:36No.
14:37My grandparents started crying and begging, but my great aunt stood firm, and they both
14:41left.
14:42And suddenly, Lily turned into a mad woman.
14:44Oh, Liz, there's something Steve didn't tell you about himself.
14:48The Richard family and Steve's dad were business partners, and they stole from his dad, almost
14:53ruining him completely.
14:54So my guess is that Steve brought you here to expose them for his own revenge, not because
15:00he cares about you.
15:01I looked at Steve, stunned.
15:03How?
15:04You did all this because you're a truth warrior, and because you love me, right, Steve?
15:08Steve silently looked down, and tears filled my eyes.
15:11At that moment, my great aunt stepped in.
15:14Come with me, dear.
15:15Through my tears, I choked out, what now?
15:18Life can't stand to see me happy.
15:20I just want to go home.
15:21I'll take you home, love.
15:22You're my family, and I'll take care of you now.
15:26The next day, everyone was talking about the scandal.
15:29Lily and my grandparents were arrested for fraud, and I returned home with my great aunt.
15:33I missed you so much, guys.
15:35My great aunt immediately took care of my dad's surgery, which was a success.
15:39After he had recovered completely, she insisted that we move in with her and that my dad join
15:43her business.
15:44She wanted someone honest and hardworking like him.
15:47Dad gratefully accepted the offer, and our lives turned upside down.
15:51We were rich, healthy, and happy, but I couldn't stop thinking about Steve.
15:56Although, the jerk didn't even try to contact me.
15:59One day, we heard a knock on the door, and it was Lily looking miserable.
16:03Please, I'm begging you, forgive me.
16:05I just got out of jail on bail.
16:06My mom spent everything she had to get me out.
16:09She used to work for the Richard family as a maid once, and we needed money so desperately,
16:13so I agreed to pose as their granddaughter.
16:15Please, she can't afford to fight this case.
16:18I couldn't help pitying her.
16:19She was just a poor girl who had needs, and my grandparents exploited them.
16:23My great aunt dropped the case against her, and we even helped her with the money.
16:27A few weeks later, dad came home with a guest, Steve.
16:31Liz, I don't have much to say, but yes, I brought you here to expose your grandparents
16:36because I badly wanted revenge, but I think I fell in love with you in the process.
16:41All I've come to ask for now is a second chance.
16:44Steve, I was really hurt when I found out about your intentions, but deep down, I feel
16:48something special between us two, and if it wasn't for you, my family would still be struggling.
16:53So, can we just take it slow and see where this goes?
16:57Sure, we can take it slow, like a turtle doing yoga, or a snail on vacation, but seriously,
17:02I'm ready to put in the effort to rebuild your trust and make this work, if you are.
17:06I smiled at him, and he smiled back.
