[Music] i kick dad's car again and again i hate them i hate them so much ugh they just love making me miserable they make fun of me they're mean to me they think i'm not special but i'll find out what makes me special one day everyone will love me and they'll see hi i'm betty and i hate my family i'm the youngest child and i have a mean older sister emily my parents never wanted me and they never failed to let me know that ah man i told you we shouldn't have kept the baby just look at her she's so ugly i'm not taking that thing in my house that's what my dad said when i was born and my mom replied oh shut up stop being so dramatic she can be useful in the house on my 10th birthday i asked my mom why they don't celebrate my birthday like they do emily's oh don't you know we didn't plan for you and we don't want you also we look like a royal family and just look at you you look like a maid i couldn't believe what i was hearing but she wasn't finished i think it's time you start earning your keep in this house starting tomorrow you're doing all the house chores since you're old enough to ask for a birthday party you're old enough to work i knew i wasn't beautiful like emily i think i wasn't really beautiful at all but something down in my soul told me that i'm special in some way not bragging but i just knew it i just had to find it the next day i was napping when my sister barged into my room and slammed the door i woke up immediately feeling really startled she stood by the door with a sneaky smile on her face oh poor baby are you scared i'm so sorry i woke you up i was so angry i knew she wasn't sorry she got a thrill out of making me miserable she was always trying to embarrass me at school too one morning while i was getting ready for school she entered my room with a yellow sundress and threw it at me here you can wear this it's too outdated for me now but it's still better than anything you have i knew immediately that she gave me that dress because she wanted to humiliate me sure i replied so i changed some things about the dress to make it more fashionable and then i paired it with black boots when i walked into class everyone was staring at me i could tell they were impressed by my outfit and sense of fashion i was so happy after class when emily saw me in the hall she looked shocked and horrified how dare you do that to my dress ah with that she stormed off angrily and i felt even happier one day i saw emily going through mom's cupboard and walking away with a box of course they wouldn't mind her taking anything she wanted but a couple of days later mom barged into my room with dad and emily right behind her accusing me of stealing her jewelry i told her i didn't do it then i pointed at emily why don't you ask your precious daughter i saw her taking it emily gave me an evil smile and i started to feel suspicious emily would never do that i'm going to search your room and if i find it girl you'll wish you were never born what an irony she searched my room and found the jewelry i was dumbfounded emily must have planted it in my room i just stood there speechless you thief emily was giggling and dad started screaming at me no matter how many times i said i hadn't stolen it he just wouldn't believe me he told me i was grounded for two weeks with no phone and no lunch money as if that wasn't bad enough he said i had to clean the house from top to bottom i looked at my dad with hatred he pampered my mom and emily but treated me like dirt i couldn't take it anymore so i screamed at them i hate you i hate you guys they looked shocked because i'd never stood up to them before just you watch i'll find what makes me special and people will love me for it i stormed out of the room and ran outside to my dad's car and kicked it it felt good a week after that i was looking for my math assignment everywhere i asked emily if she had taken it but she said no of course i didn't trust her so i waited till she went out with her friends and then i sneaked into her room i wasn't surprised when i found it under her bed next to her ipod i decided to take that too that's when i discovered my love for music whenever i was upset and wanted to escape my family i would go into my room and listen to songs on the ipod i would sing along and it would really calm me down one day in the cafeteria i was walking to a table when emily suddenly threw something on the floor before i could stop myself i had stepped on a banana peel and i slipped with my lunch flying everywhere i heard someone say what a clumsy fool i was so embarrassed i just ran out of there after that day i started eating in the school library all by myself one day during lunch break i was listening to music on my ipod as usual and i started singing along when i heard a voice say oh my you have such an angelic voice i turned around to see it was the school library in mrs shepherd she looked really impressed but i didn't believe her thank you but i don't think there's anything special about my voice she told me to sing it again and this time she recorded it on her phone i'd never thought about that she played it back and i heard the most beautiful tone at that moment i realized i discovered my gift i was so ecstatic i hugged her and said thank you so much i've wanted to have something special my whole life and you've made me realize what it is i rushed home to tell my family about my singing ability they just stared at me for a moment and then burst out laughing what an attention seeker you are betty just stop making stuff up you're never gonna be anyone special after the jewelry incident i hadn't been able to forgive dad for not believing me and treating me badly and he was just doing it again i wanted to hurt him as much as he had hurt me so i decided to call his company and accuse him of theft dad worked as an account manager for a business firm and i wasn't exactly sure if he had stole from the company but someone as horrible as him must be shady and i wanted him investigated at the end of my junior year i was singing in my room when my sister screamed from her room stop squawking like a bird i rolled my eyes and yelled you would know since you screeched like one just then there was a knock at our main door i ran to open it and found two male cops standing there one of them asked is this the blackwell residence everyone was in the hall by now and the cops walked straight over to dad and said he was under arrest for embezzlement the company he worked for had discovered that he had been moving their money to an offshore account before the cops left they asked me how i knew my dad was stealing money i told them i had my suspicions my family couldn't believe what they were hearing dad started screaming at me you ungrateful girl you called the cops on me i hate you i can't believe you i should have listened to your father when he said we shouldn't keep you my sister could only scream and cry i couldn't care less after dad was sentenced to jail we became the talk of the town and everyone looked at us with contempt mom decided to move us to a small town where we could start afresh i was so excited because i didn't really have friends in school because my sister had made everyone think i was a loser the day we moved to our new house my mom said don't get yourself too excited young lady you'll have to fend for yourself now now that you've sent your dad away i'm no longer responsible for you you should be grateful i haven't disowned you i rolled my eyes i don't expect anything less the next day i started looking for a job and i eventually found one in a small antique store as a salesperson when i was walking back home i heard someone singing and i traced the voice to a guy in the park he sounded beautiful i sat next to him on the bench and started singing along he seemed startled but didn't stop and before i knew it we'd gathered a crowd surprisingly that became the beginning of my music career after the performance the guy introduced himself my name is zach you have a really nice voice i've never drawn a bigger crowd as you did today i was so flattered i could only smile that night i went home with a skip in my step mom noticed my smiley face and asked if i'd gotten a job i couldn't help spilling out the reason for my excitement but mom just rolled her eyes and emily nastily said the town's people must be deaf and i'm sure this zack guy is better than you you're just jealous because i have talent and you can't sing a note to save your life she looked like she wanted to strike me dead and that made my day the next day as i was working at the antique store i started singing when i thought i was all alone just then the owner came out of the back room you have a great singing voice you should meet my son he loves to sing too i was surprised to hear that but i said i would love to meet him he called his son and i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw zach we both laughed then told his dad how we had already met once before and every evening since that day we would go to the park and sing we started making good money and the town's townspeople were so friendly and kind to me zach welcomed me into their home and his family became my family during my senior year at school i decided to participate in the annual talent show i was dressing up at home for my performance when my sister locked me in the room i screamed and banged on the door open this door right now she didn't reply i kept banging on the door i will be late for the show you give me money and i'll open the door she was unbelievable you dumb fool it's not my fault you're so spoiled you can't work to earn your own money i became frustrated and threw my chair at the door she wanted the money i'd been saving to go to college i vowed i wouldn't ever share anything with her even if we were the last two humans on earth i finally escaped through the window without injuries and i made it to school just in time i performed really well and at the end of the show an elegant well-dressed woman walked up to me and said you have a great gift the world needs to know about it she gave me a card and told me she would love to offer me a music scholarship turned out she was one of the directors at juilliard and was invited by zach's dad to watch my performance it was such an amazing surprise that day was joyous and the whole town was thrilled for me well everyone except my family and i don't care about them you
