I Didn't Know My Real Parents Are Poor

hi I'm Amelia I've always felt like the luckiest girl in the world I had the best parents who were both doctors in school I was a top achiever and I did what I loved best basketball I was a star in my team but apart from all the greatness I had in life there was one flaw I was born with a condition called hyponachia meaning I didn't have nails on all my fingers as a child I thought it was cool because my parents said so but soon noticed that other kids treated me funny because of it hey what happened to your hand it's always been that way super cool right all of them ran away like I had a disease when I figured out that my hand actually freaked other kids out I refused to leave the house why can't you just heal my hand so I can be like other kids everyone treats me like an alien it's not something we can reverse dear it's your own perfect flaw when my parents saw that I wasn't ready to reason with them they bought me a pack of fancy gloves to wear to school your hands are awesome but if this makes you more comfortable it does thanks thank you for me as long as no one saw my hands my life was perfect then the new neighbors arrived I was throwing out the trash from the house one day when I saw them moving into the house next to us I went over to help them and hopefully make new friends hi I'm Amelia you're an extra neighbor hi I'm Crystal and that's my mom Crystal seemed really friendly unlike her mother who looked like a hissing snake crystals quit the Chit Chat and move those things let me help I went to pick up a box from the van but the woman grabbed my hand if you know what is good for you you'll stay away from us I I just want to help oh maybe you just want to meet Jackie Jackie is that your child too yes my favorite child Jackie Jackie when I saw Jackie I died and resurrected Jackie was nearly a four feet Hound he looked like he wanted to eat me I ran home screaming for my mom later in the evening when I told my mom about the woman next door mom was Furious I could definitely sue her for the threat maybe she was just playing how can you say that in fact I'm going to give her a piece of my mind right now how about we bake a pie instead and give it to her as a welcome present maybe she just wasn't in a good mood dad supported the idea and since mom always listened to him the next morning Mom and I baked a pie and carried it over to the neighbors [Music] Crystal was the one who opened the door I'm so sorry for what my mom did to you that day she's a bit crazy that's okay is she home the porch suddenly felt icy when Crystal's mom appeared at the doorway how may I help you hi I'm Amelia's mom we baked this pie to welcome you and your beautiful daughter to my relief the woman's Stony expression melted off oh really this is so sweet I'm Mrs Freeze she took the pie and we happily turned to go and that's when I felt something warm and soft hit the back of my head ow mom and I turned to see that Mrs Freeze had just thrown the pie at me stay away from my property and keep your stupid pie she slammed the door shut and I had to hold my back from attacking the woman you heard her I don't want you anywhere near her I swore to stay away from the new neighbor but fate had other plans at school some days later our School's principal announced that we had a new basketball coach but when it was time for our new coach to arrive the lollipop I was sucking on dropped to the floor at the site of Mrs Freeze coming into the basketball court hello everyone glad to be your new coach please treat me well she didn't even act as if she recognized me Emily a girl in my team who was very jealous of My Success was soon tripping over her feet to impress her welcome ma'am at least no one will be more favored now what do you mean the former coach treated Amelia here especially that's not true who asked your permission to speak off the court now what what would you prefer to be dropped off the team upset I went to the bleachers and everyone else started playing my team won I was so Furious that I didn't get to play so I decided to confront Mrs Freeze and set things straight with him but when I got to her office door Mrs Freeze was crying over a baby picture I was so stunned I turned around and bumped right into Emily came to bribe your way onto Mrs Freeze's good side can you drop it I don't need to bribe any coach I'm a natural well we have Scouts coming in for our next game this weekend we will see who is awesome then glove tag being picked by the scouts was a big step towards my dream of playing in the WNBA even though I was confident of my skills I practiced more so I could impress them but something happened that risked everything I had been working hard for the morning before the game I went to the bathroom to wash up but slipped and fell I sprained my right hand but what hurt the most was what my parents said next well this means no game for you today Dad this is a golden opportunity to be a big sports star and how are you supposed to do that with one arm besides I doubt that which you have as a coach would let you play at all there was no winning the argument with them so the moment they left for work I dressed up in a hurry to the city's basketball court I was already late [Music] they were just about to start when I arrived is that bandages done to get the scouts he's not faking I knew a broken arm when I see it I worked hard for this ma'am a broken arm won't stop me I just freeze to get mad and order me out of the game but to my shock she asked for a handshake you're either very stupid or very brave by the way I'm beginning to like your guts reminds me of my much younger self just as I was about to accept the handshake I noticed that Mrs Freeze had a hype on a Chia too hey your hand it's just like what never seen a nail his hand before actually I take your position game time and just like that she went back to being cold despite my one-handedness I scored more points than any other player it was a pain but it was worth it because the scouts signed me up for a national game next year Emily was Green With Envy later that night I was struggling with how I could tell my parents about the offer I had gotten when Dad burst in angrily and threw some flowers at me Mrs Freeze gave me this at the porch to give you her playing so well today you snuck out to the game and when did you become old chummy for Miss Crazy to give you flowers I felt the color drain off my face as both parents glared at me have you have you taken off your glove since you met her no why never mind for your Disobedience we are moving out of this neighborhood tomorrow and you will change schools like pack our bags and go to a new house kind of leave exactly honey that's too sudden then next week dad's behavior and decision was completely odd that it was just the beginning after that day he began to act super paranoid he became strict about dropping me off at school and picking me up and if I had to go anywhere dad would tag along as if he felt someone would steal me away his actions made me super suspicious so I decided to investigate Mrs Freeze one night I crept out of the house to hers and knocked on Crystal's window hey Chris can I see you for a sec she came out and we sat on the grass I just wanted to ask about your mother and send her my thanks for the flowers she got you flowers seems like you're beginning to grow on her my mom never gets flowers for anyone so she's always like super cold to people do you hey don't blame her she's living up to our family name freeze being cold should be our family Mark strangers anyway she says a stranger still something very important from her so she doesn't trust anyone we talk some more and Crystal revealed she was being homeschooled because of a health condition that made her weak I have to go now Mom will freak if she sees me out here just as she was about to go she suddenly had a bad cough and her mom appeared looking angry again you what did you do to Crystal nothing man we were just talking in the middle of the night I knew you could be a bad influence hope to ever come near my daughter again I watched speechlessly as Mrs Freeze went inside with Crystal I couldn't believe she was the same person that gave me flowers despite her warning I plan to go check on crystal in the morning but the next morning I woke up to Dad and Mom packing things into a truck what are you guys doing I told you we're moving this week I thought you were just kidding kidding we're leaving the country today my head spun at Dad's words dad you can't do this I just want a chance to play in the Nationals mom please talk to Dad Dad says he has serious bad vibes about staying here with Mrs crazy next door or as your coach go in and pack Essentials only we need to leave here before she comes back from work that just didn't make sense so when they turned their backs I broke out in a run towards School Amelia get back here at this point I could bet all my money that Mrs Freeze was dad's ex and he didn't want us to find out well I was going to however at the moment I stepped into school I was cornered by Emily and her friends I can't put it past me that you beat me with one hand told ya I was born and soaked in awesomeness or your gloved hand is hiding some kind of magic you're cheating with just admit that I'm better than you and get over it prove me wrong then show us what's beneath the gloves I knew Emily was going to use Force if I didn't cooperate to make things worse half of the school was now gathered around us and I just couldn't let them all see my hand just then I saw someone who could get me out of this mess Mrs Freeze ignored me as if she didn't know what was going on obviously she was still mad at me from last night Emily and her friends jumped on me then and succeeded in pulling off my gloves oh um E.T has got a sister the laughter was deafening ew looks like a Toad's hand just when I felt I would faint Mrs Freeze barched into the circle and grabbed my hand Amelia are you okay she's a freak man if she's a freak so am I she raised her hands showing her Nail's fingers freaky freaky no run before I put all of you in detention she helped me to the school garden where I finally caught my breath Amelia I am so sorry I called you to help me you ignored me it's you only one in the world with those hands my baby please forgive me your baby don't touch me you hurt her don't touch her you have some guts to say that to me after stealing my daughter Dad what's she talking about he's not your dad and she's not your mom I am what I told you to stay away from this insane no right we are not Amelia's parents her daughter Crystal is our real child mom and I went right with shock my ears were ringing 15 years ago I went to a park with my month-old baby a man came with a baby in a stroller too we made small talk and then I needed to use the public restroom when I returned he had taken my baby and replaced mine with his own dad that man was you honey tell me she's lying please what was I supposed to do you were in a coma for months after you gave birth then I discovered that our baby was very sick I thought she wouldn't make it past her first birthday and I didn't want you to go through that if I knew she would survive I would have never this is why you wanted us to leave yes the day she gave me those flowers I saw her hands and recognized her as your real mother I'm so sorry I think he is I searched for you Amelia losing you turned me into a bitter and unhappy person Crystal arrived then and from the look on her face she had heard everything what is all this I'm hearing you are not my real mom Crystal what are you doing here I saw and heard all the commotion this morning at Amelia's place and I was so curious I had to follow I don't believe this is that enough proof of you Mrs Freeze gave my mom a copy of my birth certificate and written in it was my condition and details with this alone dad's fate was sealed that same day Mrs Freeze called the cops on Dad it hurt to see him arrested but he had to pay for his crimes no Amelia is my daughter she my heart broke for Mom and I hugged her of course I still am there's more to being related than blood right but today you have found another daughter show her some love it was the most emotional moment of my life dad went straight to jail from there it hurt to see him arrested but he had to pay for his crimes will you move in with me now how about we all move in together whatever you want dear as long as you're there the four of us rented a bigger house and even though it was super awkward at first over time we all Drew closer together somehow The Experience Made Me Stronger I stopped wearing gloves and thanks to having Mrs Freeze as my mom and Coach I became even more Unstoppable at basketball but I still had one more enemy to defeat so you got my beauty my basketball talent and your spooky nail thing thanks to the spooky nail thing that I was able to recognize you the moment you pulled off that glove just then Emily walked in and her face sourd like limes what's going on here I'm bribing coach who happens to be my mom your your mom yes I am and you know what a mom hates most in the world a person who picks on her child I'd run if I were you Emily went right in the face and picked race she gave me a wide birth from then on I learned that you should embrace whatever imperfection you have no one can ever hold it against you and if you do bad things to hurt others it will come back to bite you in the nose it's just a matter of time [Music]
