and I felt so bad for the guy look um nice song there I don't have money now but maybe I can treat you to lunch tomorrow to apologize on my sister's behalf I gave him my grandpa's business card thanks I didn't expect he would take me up on my offer but the next day Grandpa and I were working on a truck when we started hearing someone playing on a guitar it was the guitar guy from yesterday hey

people are the richest so what I am seeing on you is money not dirt yeah I'm Austin Austin was all shades of sweet and soon him coming over to the garage became accustomed he would keep me company with some jokes music or juicy gossip although I loved his melodious voice sometimes I tried to persuade him to make better use of his time here but he wouldn't listen uh no working with my hands is not my calling only singing so you want to be a singer yep and when I make it as a big star I'm gonna credit my first music to you though he talked a lot he hardly said anything about his family but I soon found out why a few days to Christmas we hung out at a Lake Resort so what are your plans for Christmas Christmas is for people who have family wait Austin you don't have a family where do you

invited him over to aunt's place for Christmas dinner it was the only time she was her nicest but I made the big mistake of forgetting to tell her beforehand Christmas came and just as we had settled down for dinner Austin arrived aunt she I'm so sorry that I forgot to tell you that I invited my friend please meet Austin this penniless wannabe musician is your friend dude be nice Austin doesn't have a family to celebrate Christmas with is that so oh Austin come in and sit I sighed in relief at aunt's friendly tone but tensed again when I saw her pass a knowing look at June thank you for having me what will you have dear there's fried rice chicken meat pie and Juice anything really to my horror she picked up a plate with a dishing spoon and began to scoop nothing into the plate while June giggled like a Mania that's fried rice chicken meat pie and orange juice enjoy I felt myself an oil and anger you can have mine no thanks Austin insisted that he go home and when he left I went off at Aunt in June this is just too much are poor people worms to you you don't respect even your own dad don't yell at me you ungrateful worm you have some guts bring in that stinky brat here I

met again at the bridge for the last time before he traveled and somehow the atmosphere was just thick I'll miss you Austin he looked at me and our faces grew closer together and just as the fireworks ensuing the new year went off Austin gave me a light kiss it was like fireworks went off in my heart then wait for me I'll come back I did wait but I made sure to keep busy with my savings and Grandpa's support I pursued my dream course automotive technology in a university while June became a model three years passed and I began to lose hope of ever seeing Austin again but one day while I was home trying to complete a project June suddenly let out a screen foreign I rushed out to see her June what's going on look who's on the television it was Austin on TV being interviewed he was now a big star and was coming back to Nigeria for a concert mom I have to go to that concert he's rich now I have to see him yes you'll go June use your charm beg his forgiveness seriously because he's popular now that's the same guy you humiliated four years ago it made me so mad to have to go to the concert with June but I had to see Austin the concert hall was packed with people and then Austin appeared on stage oh my God is that demigod he really did I had to stop myself from drooling the way June was his singing through the crowd in a frenzy and when he finished I snuck backstage so I could see him I found a door wide open and when I looked in Austin was in the room but so was June and she was all over him I realized I was so wrong and I'm so so sorry please forgive me you're the one who took my breath away the very first time I saw you of course I forgive you what's going on here oh um Maddie right wait you don't know my name again you told me to wait for you after you kissed

thinking about it wait do you even remember how she treated you because I was poor but now I am rich and can get anything I want include include her see Angry tears filled my eyes but I forced them back because Austin didn't deserve them the insensitive went ahead to try and kiss June in my presence so I took off my shoes to throw at his head but they hit June instead ouch my head it hurts I guess the shoe decided you deserved it more Austin had a security kick me out and when June later came home she told ant I had attacked her an aunt threw out my things we can't accommodate an enemy of progress like with you in our house well I can't stand to live with shallow people like you anymore and good luck with Austin you're two stupid people that deserve each other I moved into grandpa's garage and he welcomed me one stay as long as you'd like honestly I am impressed you tolerated your aunt Chi this long is my daughter but I can't stand her Austin and June's betrayal still hurt but I pushed on and one day my life completely changed I was returning from the grocery store one day when I saw a brand new Chevrolet parked on the roadside with several mechanics all over it hey what's going on here Fiona got it from her husband took it for a drive today and it just broke down no one has been able to fix it and she doesn't trust any mechanic to take it to his Workshop I approached one of the mechanics and when I told him I would love to take a look at the car you come guys back off this little girl says she could fix what five men can't all eyes were on me as I popped the hood it was the longest 20 minutes of my life but I soon found the fault and the car roared with life the men were gaping when I came out of the car and a reporter rushed towards me hello ma'am please tell us your name and how you managed to fix this car these men had been working on for hours I have lifelong experience fixing cars if you um want to know more you can visit my garage I gave the reporter my card and ran away from all the Curious eyes the next morning our garage was swamped with drivers wanting their cars service the video of me fixing the car had gone viral and almost everyone wanted me to become their car mechanic in just a few days I got enough money to expand grandpa's garage hire some workers and buy a cozy house for him and I nearby I'm going to leave this world as a happy old man leave this world to where you're stuck with me old man after my graduation and National Youth service and I got multiple offers to manage different automobile companies life was good and so busy I almost forgot the people from my past but one day I had a rude reminder I went to a restaurant when I noticed the couple across about to be arrested by security we will pay the bill later my idiot husband your idiot husband you wasted all my money I felt pity for them how much is their bill I will pay hey thank this lady over here she just paid for your bill the couple turned to look at me and my world froze it was Austin in June the sight of them brought back bitter memories so I stood up to go I had just reached my car when I heard Austin behind me Ada Ada what is it wow you look different in a good way you look different too but not in a good way he was so thin and harrowed it's all your cousin's fault she ate all my money and reverted to a nagging Crone please forgive me if I leave June would you marry me I saw red I popped open the bottle of water I had taken from my table and threw it on here Shame on You Austin June is pregnant for goodness sake you know what I should be thankful to her she saved me from being with a rotten selfish jerk I'll not be anybody's second choice and I won't take leftovers either I got into my car and drove off my heart aching for my cousin and the horrible man she had married girls we don't need some Prince to rescue us or some rich man to free us from hardship work hard be focused and you'll see you'll be your own hero [Applause] hi I'm Sasha I grew up with a single father and he loved me to bits but sometimes he was a bit over the top about his love for sports he was my biggest fan girl Watch Out World the next Hussein voltage dad was a figure skater during his teen years my mom left us when I was two without any reason and ever since he was my everything we were so close that despite his family's effort to make him remarry he insisted he was fine and didn't need any female help to raise me if her real mom can't take care of her what woman can though he did his best one day it dawned on him that he had no idea how to raise a little girl one time we were invited to a wedding and dad bought matching male suits for us to Twin in look Sasha we're going to Twin in this but Dad it makes me look like a boy who cares you look good to me at his insistence I wore the suit to the wedding and I was the laughing stock of the party oh someone missed her calling as a boy will you shut it or what he'll slap me I bet you can't raise your hand in that stiff suit I was really about to hit her but then my dad and aunt Vania showed up okay someone has a lot of time on her hands why don't you go help serve the food but that's an order so are you okay before I could speak Aunt Vania enveloped me in a hug she was a policewoman and though she was the most pushy in my dad's family about him getting married she was the one that cared about us the most oh you of course she isn't okay if only you had a wife she would have dressed Sasha probably for the occasion that finally sealed the deal for Dad and from that day he began to date woman after woman trying to find the one he would marry so they could better connect with and take care of me eventually I got tired of all the women and told Dad it's okay Dad I can take care of myself but Sasha you're only eight don't worry that's why we have Google and so from then on I took charge I would watch YouTube tutorials to cook Hit or Miss is there sugar in this yep sometimes I would iron his shirt and of course I now shopped for my own dresses one day we were cleaning out dad's room together when I saw a framed picture of his younger self with a red-haired girl dad who's this dad took the picture from me and got the saddest Express Russian on his face that's Harley my former skating partner did something happen to her you never told me why you quit ice skating so young it's not something I like to talk about Sasha please just drop it I bit back my questions and focused on keeping our home together the more I grew the more I got better at doing things this included my athletic skills in fact my life was good until one evening when I was 15 dad made an announcement as soon as he came back from work that changed my life forever guess what Sasha I finally found her my missing rib my Fork fell out of my hands as I flew to his side oh my god dad why didn't you tell me your rib was missing which side how did it no Sasha I mean I've seen the woman I want to marry the woman that will be your new mom Oh I thought we abandoned the babysitter project years back I don't need any woman to take care of me I'm a big girl now I know but it's not just about a woman to take care of you now Sasha I'm in love with her and I want her by my side it would make me happy here looking at dad then I could see the lovesick expression those in movies wore that made me want to puke and though I felt a bit jealous that I wasn't the center of Dad's attention anymore I knew I couldn't be selfish well if she makes you happy then I welcome her with all my heart Sasha you're the best daughter in the world dad's raw excitement made me eager to see her but the next day when she arrived I almost peed myself her face was full of makeup bright red lipstick and long artificial nails that made her look like a beautiful dangerous witch but of course I didn't want to judge a book by its cover so I played nicely Sasha meet Eva the woman I told you about Eva meet Sasha my darling sweet daughter a blessing from above I was bright red mostly from embarrassment at Dad's flattering words but Eva didn't look happy at all hello daddies everything your dad always talks about you hello Eva Welcome to our home okay I have to meet a client right now Sasha be a dear and show Eva around okay okay sure Dad leaned in and pecked Eva on the cheek and when he leaned in to Peck me too Eva suddenly threw an arm around me I can't wait for you and I to bond dad left and I took Sasha to the guest room dad and her weren't married yet so she was still officially just a guest here's your room it's nice there's yours I pointed over to mine and in a Flash Eva was in my room with her luggages and unpacking oh this room of yours is much more lovely and spacious let's room together um you rather share a room than have yours of course I want to spend every precious second knowing my stepdaughter to be I liked my privacy a lot so even though I did want to bond with her I completely disliked the idea of sharing my room with her she was still practically a stranger for Pete's sake so when Dad arrived I kind of complained to him so that he could talk her out of it but when he did Eva brought on the Waterworks oh whoa whoa I was just trying to be a good stepmom at the side of her tears dad turned 180 degrees on me oh Sasha you promised to welcome her with all your heart but Dad look your room is big enough for two people but if you don't want to share you can take the one we prepared for her instead I was so mad at dad for the unfair judgment but just so I won't appear like the bad guy I let her have her way and it was the worst night ever Eva took up all the bed space shoving me into a corner before I fell off several times I was forced to spend the rest of the night in the guest room soon it became obvious that Eva didn't like me she kept doing things to annoy me using my stuff without my permission clinging to Dad whenever he was around so I wouldn't even have a chance to talk to him but Dad was so head over heels I didn't know how to prove to him that evil was a bit Troublesome one time I had some of my friends over for a movie we were in the middle of watching it when Eva strolled in dressed in yoga pants and switched the channel Eva we were just watching a movie and I want to watch a free yoga class yoga who does yoga in the evening me seeing that Eva was out to quarrel my friends left and I was so enraged Eva what is wrong with you I try to be good and polite but you're really pushing it uh I'm only just getting started honey her response pushed me off the edge thanks for the heads up now I just have to make sure you won't ever become dad's wife good luck with that that was how operation get Eva out started first I had to get evidence to show Dad that Eva was far from the angel he thought he had found so when she left for a stroll with Dad one weekend I snuck into the room she snatched from me to find something that could implicate her but instead I found something that confused me in one of her bags I was shocked to see the same picture of dad with a red-haired girl but in print only there were other pictures and they all had my dad in them from that time up until now there was even several pictures where I was present too oh my God how does she have all these pictures at the sound of Eva and Dad returning I rushed out of the room before I could get caught I couldn't tell what Eva's possession of all those pictures meant maybe she was a crazy fan of dad perhaps a stop neither sounded good the next evening I decided to show Dad the pictures and see if he could make sense of them but before I could knock dad came out grinning like he won the lottery Sasha just who I wanted to see guess what there's a national racing competition coming up and your school just informed me that they would like you to represent them best news ever the winner is getting a scholarship through any University of her choice and a huge cash prize I know you're going to break a leg break a leg indeed let me see that National Olympics there's no way a newbie like you is going to win Sasha is a really good athlete she can win even if I don't win it's just a big opportunity to do what I love on a national scale winning is just an extra really we'll see I really meant what I said then but it didn't stop me from working hard for the competition evil would always come around to watch me and I just ignored her even the pictures I wanted to show Dad took a back seat in the meantime as a morale boost dad ordered me a beautiful pair of trainers and I was surprised to see them in Eve's hands just a day to the competition hey what are you doing with my shoes oh I just cleaned them for you they're new they don't need cleaning I think I owe you an apology for how I've been treating you please forgive me my jaw dropped when she went down on her knees that's okay please get up now he'll be besties from now on sounds great though I said that I was still suspicious of the sudden change so when she left I quickly peeked inside the shoes to see if she had somehow put any booby trap inside to ruin my day tomorrow but it was all clear had she really turned a new Leaf the next day Dad and Eva accompanied me to the competition Arena and I changed into the sports gear my shoes felt strange as I walked but I chalked it up to being paranoid since I saw Eva with them I should have paid more attention though because the second the whistle blew and we took off I had barely taken a step forward when I slipped and fell smacked to the ground oh dad Eva and many others were around me in seconds but I could barely talk with the pain in my ankle her ankle might be fractured she needs to go to the hospital now they helped me up and with one look at Eva's smirking face I knew she had done something oh there's no way she can run now of course let's just take her to the hospital wait I raised my foot and looked at the sole of my shoes and just as suspected I saw that all the grooves had been sanded off it hadn't occurred to me to check the soul yesterday now it was so smooth there couldn't be any friction between it and the ground that's why I fell what kind of person made these terrible shoes I'm going to sue the company I knew exactly why my shoes were that way but I bit my tongue for the meantime leaving the competition meant Eva had won and I wouldn't give her that satisfaction so I pulled off my shoes and everyone watched in shock as I walked back to the line Sasha what are you doing you're limping without looking back I took off running well more like limping the stadium went quiet as they watched me and when the other athletes began to cross the finish line while I kept going they went wild cheering for me can you believe it Sasha chin our youngest competitor continues Barefoot despite her injury this is record-breaking of course I didn't win in fact I came in last place but that day I was hailed at inspiration to all for not giving up till the finish line and that alone made me so happy bitterness was written all over Eva's face when I finally met up with him honey that was so reckless of you but oh my God you're so awesome thanks Dad now Eva what moved you to eliminate the grooves in my shoes and don't try to deny it I have a live picture of how those shoes were before you ruined it that was a lie but I just had to make Eva confess what Evo you did what oh stop flapping your mouth like a dumb fish you go on and on about your perfect daughter who is great at sports how dare you after you ruined my own career 26 years ago if only you paid attention and caught me I wouldn't be limping wait you're Harley dad and I watched in horror As Eva pulled off her wig revealing bright red hair like the girl in the picture from Dad's ice skating days correct all this has been a well-staged arrangement to get back at you for ruining my life for failing to catch me while she was ranting I noticed Aunt Vania come up behind her holding a recorder and asking me to be quiet I had invited her to the competition and though she was late I couldn't think of any better timing but that wasn't my fault you were so desperate to win you insisted on that risky stunt whatever I just hope your daughter's limp is permanent if that's so then forget her Shoei display today her career would be over like mine was I wonder what the police would say about everything you just confessed to I don't see anyone calling the police your word against mine honey um Eva turned white when she saw my aunt waiting for her with a glare and holding up a recorder you can fashion is on record you're under arrest ma'am while Eva was arrested I finally let Dad take me to the hospital so my ankle could be checked I had just suffered a minor Sprain and would be fine in days better yet though I came in last place everyone at the stadium had voted for me to return for the next round in a few weeks that the doctor gave me the clear so Harley is why you quit skating huh yes to impress she was always coming up with moods that were very risky what happened to Harley was an accident but it shook me up so badly I quit I'm so sorry I didn't tell you or listen to you it's okay Dad you were in love guess that's what they mean when they say love is blind right that's the last woman for me Sasha oh come on dad don't worry you'll still find her one day the woman that will be your missing rib and maybe your left kidney too I've missed you honey you're The Greatest Love of All with my consent dad dropped the charges against Eva AKA Harley so she could go her way in peace and we went back to the good old days of just the two of us I learned the importance of not keeping secrets in the family and I hope one day to inspire more young people to never give up doing what they love even when there are obstacles hi I'm Jewel thank you for tuning in to SDA please like And subscribe ever since I was a little girl I loved painting my favorite artist was Georgia O'Keefe once I felt so inspired by her works that I started painting the walls of my room and then my parents walked in is that fire did somebody say fire bro it's not fire Mom it's just paint see this is a mess when will you stop playing around with paint oh Jewel we've told you to invest your time better by reading and becoming a lawyer well I don't want to be a lawyer I'm going to be an artist my parents were Big Time politicians who gave me almost everything I asked for but life with them wasn't easy thanks to their career they were always obsessing over what the media and people would say about them that they wouldn't let me live a normal life I wasn't even allowed to wear the same outfit twice oh honey didn't I just buy you a dash and Gucci gown for this party but Mom I love this gown and besides I've only worn it once listen to your mom and wear the new one I don't want people wagging their tongues that I can't take care of my family apart from being obsessed with what people were or were not saying about them my parents were also paranoid of my safety I wasn't even allowed to go to school without my personal security guards thanks to that most of my classmates shied away from me hey I'm Jewel can we be friends um I gotta go and the ones who didn't shy away practically kissed my feet just to roll with me and I hated that hey I love your hairdo I'm sure your parents paid a ton for it everything you wear is so Chic this hair is like this because I haven't combed it for three days now oh it's still gorgeous the situation at school made me very lonely and it didn't help that my parents wanted me to be their only child no matter what I did they wouldn't budge on the matter one day we were shopping and I was so drawn by the cute little things in the baby section look Mom isn't this onesie cute true but there's no one in our family it would fit I grinned because mom had fallen into my trap with those words can't we just buy it now and keep it for when you have my baby brother or sister please mind what you say in public that tabloids can be anywhere Jewel you have all the toys in the world how would you possibly be lonely I won't ruin my shape to get another baby then adopt no way my parents had more than enough to take care of a dozen more children so I couldn't understand why they would neither give birth to another nor adopt I kept pushing for it until one time when I was 13 I took it a little bit too far they were in a press meeting and I just walked in on them so Dad Mom you haven't told me why I can't have a brother or sister mom and dad went right in the face and began to sputter honey the Press had a field day and my parents were so embarrassed and angry they exploded on me as soon as we were alone never you ever forever in your life ask us about having siblings again but I want one well that's one thing you can never have don't be so greedy I'll stun like this again and I'm going to get rid of every single painting you think we don't know about I couldn't bear to have anything happen to my hard work so after that incident I stopped asking them for a sibling I almost resigned my life to one of loneliness but when I turned 15 a ray of Sun Burst into my life in the 10th grade we were introduced to a new art teacher hello everyone I am Miss Millicent I will be your art teacher henceforth on that first day she asked us to present our best artwork seeking to impress I threw all my passion into my painting but just as I finished students had gathered around and were laughing at it this should be awarded the grossest painting of the century I wanted to burst out with anger but of course if I did anything like that it was sure to be on the headlines tomorrow so I grabbed the canvas to take it down but out of nowhere Miss Millicent grabbed my hand hey let me see that I gave her the painting and waited for more criticism but she began to gush over it instead wow is this a girl hatching from a bird's egg it's so beautiful this is my favorite art so far um thanks what's your name girl I'm Jewel even though we were at least 17 years apart Miss Millicent took a liking to me and trust me the feeling was Mutual he would hang out in her office or at the school Studio during breaks and one day she even invited me to see her art at home but that took an unexpectedly horrible turn I'm so sorry I can't make it what why my parents don't even approve of my career choice they will just go Bonkers oh don't worry I have first-hand experience with strict parents I can put in a word across to them for you can you give me their number my parents never liked me giving their number to Outsiders but I figured it was okay since Milson and I were friends now that's my mom's the name it's funny I don't even know your family name Mrs Holly Holloway the moment I mentioned that name Melissa seemed to freeze over and stared at me like I had grown two heads I was quickly uncomfortable um are you okay you you only Holloway's daughter yes I am Joel Holloway what without any explanation she walked out on me Millicent stopped being nice to me she wouldn't even spare me a glance in class and would shun me if I tried to get close to her it got to the point I couldn't take it anymore did my mom offend you why are you ignoring me ever since I told you don't you alsco parents instead for several days asking my parents to know what Millicent's deal was was an impossible feat because they were out in a campaign and could only spare pleasantries whenever we talked I was so restless with curiosity thankfully I soon discovered what was behind her change of attitude we had a school project and I had to get some items from the basement for it as I was searching my hands hit a Dusty wooden box hidden at the back of the Shelf what what's this Dusty stuff oh let me guess another vintage jewelry used and abandoned by Mom but when I opened the box I was stunned to see a picture of a girl with black hair and green eyes who is this pretty girl beneath the photo was a letter and when I read it hello Mom and Dad it's been two months since you last sent me I couldn't believe my eyes the girl was calling my parents mom and dad and asking them for some money did my parents have a child I didn't know about I had to meet her and get answers but I knew I wouldn't be successful if the guards followed behind me so I sneaked out of the house an hour later I arrived at the address printed on the letter and knocked at the door and when it opened I was shocked to see Miss Millicent looking at her now I could see she was the girl in the picture what are you doing here you sent my parents a letter you called them suddenly she pulled me into the house and shut the door I sent them that letter years ago I have a job now so I don't need the help who are they to you exactly your parents draw and my parents too but simply I am your big sister by that time I had put two and two together but it was still shocking to hear how our parents had me when they were very young and things were really good for us but 17 years later after they give birth to you you became the apple of their eyes and I became Like a Stranger they would snap at whatever I did or said I couldn't take it what happened after a verbal match they termed me rebellious and sent me a way to live with mom's sister I laughed as soon as I reached adulthood by the time Darcy was done telling her story I was so mad at Mom and Dad all of that sounds like Teenage hormones acting up it's not enough to send you out well you're right but the harm has been done they don't care about me anymore and that's why I had to stop talking to you if they know where in contact they would go angry bull mode and think I have somehow influenced you please go but we're sisters just pretend like you never met me she chewed me out of her house and I went home angry at my parents for keeping me away from this sibling I had longed for for years but I was also excited to know I had a big cyst and wanted to know everything about her so I deafened my ears for her request for me to stay away from her that's why I kind of showed up at her house the next day what part of pretend you never saw me don't you understand I'm just hanging out at your porch pretend I'm not here you know I can't do that I'm in oh you don't have to but thank you good grief the Ice broke between Darcy and I when I stumbled into her makeshift Studio I was blown away with the pencil work she had whoa [Music] uh-huh I'm itching to paint one can I let's try one then together we painted one of them and it was so amazing we make a good team eventually my sister warmed up to me and we even resumed hanging out together at school as much as I wanted to confront my parents with what they had done I kept to myself because Millicent was convinced it would just make things worse uh like most Secrets I couldn't hide it forever after I graduated high school my parents prepared a special dinner night to celebrate Jewel we picked a law school for you to attend now that you graduated a law school for me who asked you to do that we are just doing what is best for you what's best for me is letting me do what I love that makes me happy it's either this or what you send me away like you did Millicent I slapped my hand over my mouth At The Mention Of Millicent but it was too late how did you know about Millicent since the cat was out of the bag I figured I might as well point out their unfair treatment to her I can't believe that all these years I wanted a sibling you didn't care to let me know I already had one what kind of parents are you how did you become so consumed with your career your children became disposable I left them gaping in shock and went to my room hoping that their conscience would prick them enough to bring Millicent first thing in the morning but they did the opposite I went to my former high school the next day to find a crowd outside my sister's empty office what's going on here two Baldwin came in here some minutes ago and whisked Miss Mills and Away into a limo the description of them fit my bodyguards it was obvious that my parents were involved in this and they didn't deny it when I confronted them where did you take her we gave her a new place to live she's our daughter all right we can never hurt her just do what we ask you to do and you can see her again are we having this conversation again no I will not compromise on my future It's that or you say goodbye to us being your parents the luxury you're living in will be gone I will give up that luxury a thousand times for my freedom and happiness Jewel now may I please have her whereabouts I think I might just move in with her be sure to wipe out records of me as your daughter as well seeing that my mind was made up my parents had no choice but to give me my sister's new address I packed up and went straight to the place only to see her leaving with a suitcase Millicent Joe what are you doing here with a bug I left them I refuse to be their puppet anymore where are you going isn't this the house they gave you well I don't want this stupid handouts in the house I am leaving the city I'm coming with you are you sure things will be a bit tough trust me I've had my full share of tough we moved to another city far away and to support ourselves we went into the art making business full-time auctioning each finished one we made good money enough for me to start college and without my ex-body guards hovering over me I made many friends for two years we didn't hear anything from our parents and we didn't contact them either though I missed them a good deal one day Millicent came home with big news Jewel you've got to look at this big couple politicians resign for unknown reason her parents resigned for real could we be the unknown reason we would have to wait and see when we didn't hear anything from them many months after that news we concluded that their resignation didn't have anything to do with us but one day a fast rising art collector has to see our studio and when they arrived Mill Middle School home dad mom and dad knelt before us Millicent Jewel we are so sorry we didn't realize how selfish and greedy we have become until some months back please forgive us and let us come back as a family again it's been over two years since I left many more since Millicent and you expect us our business card jewel we know we have wronged you two so much that sorry wouldn't cut it that's why after we dropped our career we took up something better fitted for our children's interests we are art collectors now and Millicent we are so sorry we didn't know how to balance having a new baby with a teenage daughter please forgive us it wasn't easy but over time I forgave them and eventually Millicent did too we got back together as a family my former colleagues would pay richly for your artworks they are so unique and thanks to our appearance becoming our marketeers we soon became a flourishing family business the luxury I lived in before forever remained in the past but I got something better loving attentive parents a big sister and a simpler free life and that that's life guys it's either this or that just make sure that when you choose you choose what truly makes you happy something with lasting value like family say cheese [Music] hello I'm hamari and I'm from Australia please like And subscribe to sta growing up I was a fun and brave little girl and everyone loved me but not everyone loved Marcus a boy my age at school he was so nervous around kids and because of this they took advantage of him there was this one time Marcus was flying his paper plane and then I saw a group of bigger guys snatch it away Marcus ran away nervously but I took him right back to the boys Marcus if you keep running these boys will always push you around come on we're going back for your plane but it's just a piece of paper I I don't need it I ignored his fears took his hand and marched back to the boys you boys have something of his and you will give it back right now what are you gonna do Shorty I showed him that Dynamite comes in small packages and after they gave Marcus his plane he asked me something can we be friends and you can teach me how to be brave like you say that again louder please we became the best of friends after that and as we grew up the more confident he became and the more I grew fond of him Marcus and I became so close that people thought we were a couple but he was like a brother to me and he would do anything for me like even catch a bee in his bare hands I hugged him tightly and then I quickly let go at the sound of my boyfriend's Ferrari Aaron was my man we met while starring in a popular teen sitcom yup I'm a celebrity but I worked hard to get there unlike Aaron whose dad was the producer of the show we starred in Aaron was also very overprotective hey babe what are you doing here on the dirty grass don't be silly babe where else do people have picnics as Aaron hugged me I could see Marcus's mood change because Aaron and him never clicked I see your best friend has been feeding you crackers and cheese again hamari what are you gonna dump this fool because clearly he has no idea what good food tastes like Marcus loved cooking and he was always treating me to his meals Aaron sweetie why don't you meet me in the car and I'll help Marcus pack up okay oh I can't wait till you see that restaurant I booked for us Aaron always took me out to the most expensive places but this time while we were there a gorgeous model approached our table hey Aaron I thought he would be at the club today everyone was asking for you I'll be there later just having dinner with my friend [Music] not what I am to you just a friend he looked at me silently and I lost my mind and threw my soda in his face happy friends day Aaron jerk as I walked away he ran after me but the blonde girl was right behind him and I became even more mad homuri wait I didn't you know like that oh let her go she clearly doesn't want you but you can be my boyfriend I turned into a totally psycho when she said that and I jumped on the girl and started pulling at her hair and before I knew it reporter suddenly filled the area taking pictures of me for more you're embarrassing yourself [Music] again Days Later every magazine and newspaper had my face in the front page with me pouncing on the blonde girl and they called me the she devil and mom was on panic mode since my acting job paid half the mortgage for her house Amari what were you thinking we depend on your acting job to pay the bills if you lose that and I would have to work 24 hours at the hospital I didn't lose my job Mom it's just bad publicity mom worked as a nurse and she's been my backbone since my dad left us when I was just two years old I stayed indoors for the past few days trying to avoid all the gossip that was going on I refused to leave my room until Marcus entered and I come in I immediately jumped out of bed when I saw Marcus and hugged him tightly he's hey Marcus she's been sulking in bed for days maybe you can also convince her to take a bath I'm so glad to see you where have you been you look different like you've been losing weight don't worry about me let's talk about you I feel like hiding in a hole for the rest of my life I'm sure this will cheer you up Marcus knew exactly how to make me feel better and when I took a big bite into the chocolate I spat it out when Aaron suddenly appeared mom why did you let him in listen things got out of control that night I shouldn't have called you my friend you are so much more and you know that the blonde girl was just a groupie please hamari don't do this to us when Aaron wanted to get closer to me Marcus stepped forward and mugged at him this is none of your business Marcus she doesn't want to speak to you hamari please let me explain I looked at Aaron and my heart usually melted just looking at his puppy dog eyes so I gave him a chance to speak to me Marcus it's okay I'll see you later you can't be serious Amari he is the reason the whole country is hating on you don't make things worse Mr cracker cheese beanie Marcus looked at me disappointed but Aaron and I have been in a relationship for six months I couldn't just throw that all away because of a blonde groupie so I forgave him Aaron and I worked on our relationship but Marcus distanced himself a lot from me I became so focused on my acting school and Aaron that sometimes I forgot to check on him until I saw him running to the bathroom holding his mouth while Lucas what's up I waited outside the boy's bathroom and could hear him throwing up and when he finally came out it looked so pale and collapsed in my arms I remember that I didn't notice the weight loss but I was so focused on my life that I forgot about him everything is going to be okay hamari I'm sure it's nothing big you didn't see how he looked mom I feel like such a bad friend when the doctor came I held Mom's hand tightly you can see him now he just forgot to take his treatment treatment for what leukemia I assumed you knew about this I was so shocked and my heart raced at the thought of losing Marcus he has been there for me like forever even mom didn't have that kind of bond with me when I went in to see him he wasn't wearing his beanie and he didn't look like Marcus anymore I couldn't control my tears as he smiled at me why didn't you tell me because I didn't want you to be sad please don't cry I'm going to get through this Marcus always put my feelings before his I promise to be there for him throughout his sickness and he asked me to keep it a secret and then one day when Aaron held a beach party just for fun I also invited Marcus and Aaron showed me a completely different side to him why did you invite him I thought you would spend time with just me Marcus is my friend and you have to accept that you guys want to play a game of volleyball yeah sure yeah Mario will be on my team so why don't you just pick someone to join you when I toss the ball over the net to Marcus he hit it back but it flew directly to Aaron hitting him hard on the head it was so funny oh so you all think this is funny it's just a game babe I'm so sick and tired of you saying things like that it's just a game he's just your friend but you guys have picnics homemade dinner dates and now he's here at my party I guess all my fancy restaurant dates were never good enough for you Aaron calm down Aaron went overboard and started yelling at me then Marcus stepped in and Aaron completely lost himself hey chill out dude I'll chill once you get out of our Lives well I'm not going anywhere I was in her life long before you and I plan on being there right until the end Marcus and Aaron pounced on each other and I tried to separate them but they were way out of control and suddenly Aaron pulled the beanie off Marcus's head and everyone froze glaring hahaha oh my gosh what happened to Wally's hair Aaron have you lost your mind are you going to defend this fool look around Aaron you're the only fool here I left Aaron after that day and my love for him immediately disappeared they felt like such a fool to love a jerk like that because of Aaron I lost my acting job and Aaron did all that he could to convince his father to get rid of me months down the line we lost our house we had to move into a tiny apartment and Mom worked double shifts well I focused a lot on school and it was the end of the year and school fees were due but we couldn't afford it is it possible for me to get an exemption from paying the school fees what are you talking about it shows here that just movies have been paid in full I was so shocked I had no idea who could have done something so generous for me it couldn't have been Marcus since he came from an average home like me and Aaron was so yesterday's news and if that wasn't strange days later I found an envelope in my locker filled with cash the only person Rich enough to do all this was Aaron but it just didn't make sense so I approached him I hated being anywhere near Aaron after we broke up since he started dating a new girl every day just to make me jealous but it never worked hello hamari have you met my present girlfriend oh wow lucky you Aaron now did you leave something in my locker yes I actually did your poor mother paid me a visit and begged me to take you back since your life is falling apart so I paid for your school fees and donated some cash I'll take you back on one condition tell Marcus you want nothing to do with him but you're dating me now sorry honey I thought I told you that this was a short-term contract I was shocked out of my mind after what he told me so I threw the envelope of cash in his face sorry to burst your bubble Aaron but no amount of money can buy me I was so mad at my mom that right after school I went to her workplace and found her sleeping on the job great great so just because you can't keep your eyes open at your job it doesn't give you the right to go behind my back and speak to Aaron I'm sorry I did it for your own good life was good when you and Aaron were together mom how could you oh honey I'm so sorry I'll fix it no just stay out of my business but I'm your mother I will always be in your business I felt so betrayed by my mom and the only person that could comfort me in this state was Marcus so I went to his house when I got to his house I was surprised to find him sitting with a girl Maury is everything okay you look like you were crying oh no I have a slight flu is your lady friend here this is Amy intern at the hospital where I get my treatment oh is she here to give you your treatment at home no we're actually here on a date I cooked to one of my best meals there are some left over if you want I was so speechless at that moment I don't know why I felt so jealous nice to meet you Amy she looked like a sweet girl but there was this thing inside me that felt like pouncing on her and telling her to leave Marcus alone because he was mine I decided to leave before I did anything crazy the next day when I saw Marcus sitting alone in the cafeteria made my way to him but stopped when his girlfriend got there before me and sat on his lap I almost dropped my tray feeling so frustrated but then Aaron appeared in front of me or are you lost you could sit with me if you want to I'd rather eat worms than sit with you Aaron became such a nonsense especially after seeing that Marcus had a girlfriend he even got his father to offer me my job back but I had my pride I was shocked when his dad started making small talk after school when I was about to jump into my Mini Cooper Aaron's father suddenly appeared in the parking lot talk about being desperate I'll give you two popular shows you can star in just give Aaron one more chance with all due respect sir you should really stop spoiling your son how will he survive if your existence comes to an end after rejecting the job offer to be back on the screen I decided to start my own little Channel on YouTube don't be afraid to try different colors everyone even if you're struggling to match them up with your cute outfit subscribe to my channel for more ways you can have that Glam within months I had 1 million subscribers and started earning an income again I was more than happy and the only thing that was missing was Marcus he spent a lot of his time with his new girlfriend and I became almost invisible to him until our high school graduation Amari before you go can I have a word with you for a moment yeah sure Marcus looked so handsome in his gown and when he held my hand to take me aside I felt so many Sparks between us and then he pulled out a paper plane the same that I saved when a group of Mean Boys surrounded Marcus when we were little wow you kept this all this time yeah it was the first day we became friends and I hope that we are still friends even though I'm with Amy when I looked into his eyes my heart pounded with so much love for him that I did the unthinkable I went over and kissed him softly and just then his girlfriend appeared and Marcus pushed me away why did you do that yeah uh wait did you do that I thought you were just his friend I Found the courage to tell him how I felt right in front of his girlfriend Marcus I think I have more than friendship feelings for you it looked like he was going to say the same thing back to me but then his girlfriend whispered in his ear I'm sorry you feel that way but I see you as just a friend I never felt so humiliated and broken down before I spent days crying about Marcus and looking back at all the memories we shared until ma became tired of me loping around okay that's enough young lady remember the sea is filled with fishes now that you're done with high school you can go out there and explore are you chasing me away no silly but you need to spread your wings you're already earning a good living doing that YouTube thing so why not enjoy life at the same time mom was right maybe going on a trip would help me forget about Marcus so I traveled China South Africa Italy and when I got to New York I made some connections with Hollywood producers and the next thing I was producing movies I became a big time producer and one day I decided to fly back to my hometown in Australia on a talent search for a star actor for my up and coming production and Aaron suddenly appeared and he was auditioning for my movie if we consider you for this role are you willing to travel of course acting is my passion he looked and sounded more grown up and I was impressed with his performance I decided to give him the lead role and then we sat down to discuss the contract I'm so glad to see you again I can't believe you were a big time producer now yeah and I can't believe you auditioned for my production well I'm glad I did I grew up a lot after high school and I want you to see that once I felt the discussion was going sideways I made it very clear to him that our relationship was professional he seemed to understand and then Marcus suddenly showed up standing at our table and Aaron looked so angry Marcus how did you know that I was here your mom told me that you were having dinner with Aaron and I had to see you before we are in the middle of something very important here I was shocked and I Aaron's actions but what was happening reminded me of high school Marcus I'm in an important meeting can we catch up later no I need you to know something when we were in high school Aaron threatened to ruin your YouTube channel with bad publicity he was gonna make up some story about you cheating on him so I agreed to be in a fake relationship with his cousin Amy my heart raped with so much rage when he told me that I know Marcus would do anything to protect me he's lying don't believe him we are meant for each other I threw my soda in Aaron's face tore up the contract and walked out with Marcus Marcus and I had a lot to talk about and I was happy that the leukemia was gone and he looked so much stronger I'm sorry that I wasn't with you throughout the worst stages of your illness every time I thought of you I fought harder don't worry you're not only my best friend but also my soulmate his words made me cry and My Broken Heart for so many years was finally healed hi I'm Freda from New York and this is my story I've always been a lucky beautiful child born to parents who adored me dad worked as a scientist for a large corporation and mom was a small fashion designer our lives were sailing smoothly until dad's company was robbed by a notorious criminal family and he was forced to testify against them in court because of his Brave testimony the government awarded him a huge sum of money but at a very dire cost his testimony landed our lives in danger and we had to move from one city to another each year it caused a rift between my parents I'm leaving with our child if you move to one more City for God's sake this is the last City your safe here Trudy's word that was the last City we moved to after eight years of living there my parents found their footing in the city and grew popularly wealthy with all the money they made from the court case and I launched a modeling career that propelled me to stardom because of their influence everyone loved me but the thing they loved most was my hair I had the most perfect red hair it was long curly and soft like Silk but one day that changed it all happened the night dad had been working on a serious project in his lab when I walked in hey Daddy can I borrow the limo for tonight out of the way honey I'm busy he walked right into me spilling the entire glass of his experiment on my hair my hair I screamed and hurried out of the lab to the bathroom for a deep wash the events of that night passed by in a blur but when I woke up the next morning I had the biggest shock of my life my beautiful red hair was missing dad's chemicals had totally fried all the hair from my head and mom went ballistic you ruined her perfect hair you ruined everything no one will hire her looking like that I felt terrible for Dad but I didn't say anything to help him after all he ruined my hair I know my presence in the house isn't helping so I'll leave to give you two some space I'll miss you terribly dad left that day and we never heard from him again after a few days without him I began to feel guilty about his absence from the house I attempted to contact him but each call went to voicemail when I told Mom she sounded so unconcerned Frida I don't want to hear another word about your father that man destroys everything he touches after that day I never mentioned dad again all I could do was secretly wish for his return the week after dad left I had a professional shoot planned and mom made me put on a customized wig exactly like my hair I made this just for you Frida never take it off I kissed her goodbye and ran out to meet my super hot wealthy boyfriend Davies he was my partner for the shoot something for my princess oh my God so pretty he was also a really sweet boyfriend he got me so many expensive gifts I could barely keep count the necklace was too heavy for my neck but I endured the weight I'd do anything for him because he's so perfect my name complements your skin so well during the shoot everyone couldn't stop admiring how great Davies and I were together you two look like the perfect power couple now struck Frida's hair gently Davies did as he was told but I felt my wig coming off and stopped the shoot immediately with a lie I I have a headache let me take you home babe Davey chauffeur drove us home and during the drive I felt it was time to confront Davies with the truth they held his hand and looked him in the eyes with all the love I could muster as I said babe would you still love me if I changed how like say I grew a mustache or extra legs or he placed his hand on mine and looked at me with concern your hands are shaking babe tell me what is it the soothing way he spoke to me gave me all the confidence I needed and I spilled the truth I lost my hair I took off my wig and explained everything to him but to my shock Evie's instantly switched he snatched his arm from mine and moved away like I was a monster what happened to your beauty Freida I couldn't believe he reacted this way since I always believed that true love should always be kind I think we should break up I can't be seen with you looking like that so you never loved me oh come on Freda you know where to together because we're perfect for the media and now what's the point you're a jerk Davies and I never want to see you again here's your stupid heavy fake necklace I hurled the necklace at him and then I angrily stopped the car and found my own way back home breaking up with Davies had taken a toll on me I refused to go anywhere until I got my hair back every morning I'd look in the mirror hoping to see some improvement but there was none mom had to drive me to several top hospitals ma'am the hair follicles are completely damaged I'm afraid there's nothing we can do over time I had to learn to live without my hair I became reliant on wigs wearing them to every Fashion Event and show nobody could tell the difference one day after walking the runway for the New York Fashion Week I received a call from a strange number I excused myself to pick it up hey babe it was Davies don't even think about it if you don't want your secret exposed I'd rather eat rocks than be scared of you Davies really I wonder what everyone will say once they find out you've been lying to them about your hair what do you want spill it 500 000 delivered to me in cash what do you need 500 000 for it's none of your business princess I'll send the location to you and I expect to see you in an hour he hung up the call before I could say anything and I headed back to the red carpet with a fake smile when I finished with the paparazzi I called my manager for the money I went to the location with it when I met Davies I noticed he looked different where's the money tell me what you need it for he looked around like we weren't the only ones there it scared me quit joking around and give it to me snatch the briefcase from my grasp and hurried away not even a thank you I drove away from the scene angry at him for blackmailing me but as time passed I became so preoccupied with shoots and interviews that I completely forgot about him then School resumed and I was sworn by a horde of Obsessed students on the first day oh my God Frida I want to be exactly like you who do you use on your skin someone suddenly grabbed my arm yanking me away from the crowd it was a girl I'd never seen before she wore enormous glasses pardon me but I noticed you needed saving I did you're like an angel Sent From Heaven thank you I'm Mindy and I'm new here what's your name I'm Freda glad to make your acquaintance Frida you could just say friend you know I wouldn't want to profess intimate conversants with your person so early I just knew she was a big nerd with all that word salad I nodded along like I understood her by the way would you mind showing me around of course as I showed Mindy around the school we talked about a lot of things and instantly clicked she became my best friend one time we were on our way to the gym when we bumped into Davey's the last person on Earth I wanted to see well well well if it isn't the princess and her new crony don't speak about my friend like that can't you leave me alone remember I know your secret baldy only because I told you don't act like it's a groundbreaking discovery you made yourself pee brain hmm speaking about pea brains I have an assignment for you if it's money to do whatever shady thing you're up to I you and I know you've taken more than that from me what do you mean taken I didn't ask you to spend money on me this is different I need you to do my school assignments before I knew it he dropped a hefty sack of books into my arms and as if that wasn't enough he audaciously bought his face close to mine as he said also my lips have missed yours I'm sure yours have as well I'd rather make help with a piece of wood than you why don't we check that out before I could react Mindy's arm came from behind me and punched him in the face throwing him back she stood in front of me like my knight in shining armor you you have you had a lady against her well Davey's face went red with embarrassment he got up about to attack her when some students rushed out of the gym in front of us I'll get you for that as soon as Davey's left I turned to Mindy and hugged her thank you what does Dal Cup mean anyway oh it's just a silly Old English word for a stupid person [Music] sorry see I thought about telling Mindy my secret as well but I decided to keep it to myself I wasn't ready to lose another friend and Mindy was a great friend I took her to all my fashion events and we raided my closet together whenever she visited the house I I like this that's my mom's signature Diamond gown it's the only one in existence oh sounds expensive I'll put it back well you can have any other clothes you want I gave Mindy a makeover and when we showed up to school that morning everyone was drooling all over us the school year came to an end and I received an email from a famous fashion brand asking me to model for them and inviting me to their show in France a million dollars every month this is the request of a lifetime I invited her on the trip and together we began to plan for it but one day I got the most shocking news from the fashion brand canceling their offer they claimed I had sent them an email offering my spot to a model named Elaine Holt whom I had never met someone was obviously attempting to sabotage me this has to be Davey's handiwork he's the only one with access to my emails I headed home and gave Mom the news leaving out the part of Davey's blackmailing me and she gave me a brilliant suggestion you should go to France if the organizer see you they'll want you back I quickly packed up my suitcase and flew to France the model show was that night so I styled myself in a pretty red dress and showed up at the event and you wouldn't believe who I saw it was Mindy dressed in mom's signature Diamond gown she was without her glasses and looked so different and she was with Davey's anger filled my body as I walked over to them even if it isn't the two little things took you time to finally find us out huh pretending to be your friend was so exhausting and all that English was hurting my mouth also thank you for the Gown so you're together together no she's my sister I I don't understand suddenly a woman who looked exactly like Davies walked into our conversation Frida it's nice to meet you again we've never met we have child years ago when your silly father gave that testimony against my family in court stealing everything from us we went into debt in Elaine hit came up with the brilliant suggestion of Davies dating you we're going to steal everything from you just like you did to us Mindy was Elaine that was when it dawned on me she was the one who stole my deal but Davies was losing his grip so I had to step in you know I'm still not over that punch you gave me I'll get over it big head I blanked into pure rage and attack it's Mindy we both landed on the floor drawing everyone's attention in the midst of the fight Davey stepped in and pulled off my wig revealing my bald head to everyone everyone Freda is an imposter that silly girl attacked my child for confronting her about her lies throw her out I was thrown out of the event and I flew back home in disgrace when I got home I was surprised to find dad when he saw me he opened his arms for a hug and I ran into them with tears in my eyes who so much I was so overcome with emotions that I started spilling everything that happened those criminals finally found us this is all my fault honey I'll fix this meanwhile word of my fake hair went viral companies were canceling invitations to me I couldn't go anywhere without being followed by the paparazzi but one day Dad came up with a plan honey I need you to find a way to make Davey's oral Lane confess on tape to their crime times that night I called Davies for a Meetup with the pretext that I wanted to apologize for my family finally realized your mistakes yes and I'm sorry for everything my family did to yours ah saying the words to him was so difficult but I needed to put on the facade for just a short while until he confessed you're not upset about me blackmailing you and Elaine posing as your friend to steal your spot in the model show Bingo you know what I'm angry and you and your sister can eat dirt for all I care my switch and attitude startled him and I smiled as I walked away as soon as I got home I gave dad the recorder and the next day he came into my room with big news Davies and his family have just been arrested I threw myself against him in a hug and Mom suddenly walked in with a remorse written all over her face I have something to say I I'm sorry for the way I treated you darling I'm sorry for taking your father away from you will both of you ever forgive me come here baby dad opened his arms wide and Mom joined in the hug the news of Davies and Elaine's arrest spread quickly suddenly I began to receive modeling offers again my fan base grew and everyone felt bad for how I was blackmailed bald models reached out to me giving me encouraging words I confidently stopped wearing my wigs and began to appear to more shows in my natural state I even received several Awards proceeds of which I donated to charity I dedicate this award to everyone like me who is still trying to come to terms with their real self there was one thing I learned in all of this and that was to love myself no matter my flaws I wasn't made to be perfect I was made to be me whoa that was close ever since I was little dad and I have always been like two peas in a pod we lived by the sea and swam together with the sea animals every day but my mom aka Miss Perfect was never happy about anything she loved complaining oh and I forgot to mention

I knew my dad he loved animals he'd never sell them I ran down from the stage and grabbed the cop let him go my dad is Innocent but they pushed me away like I was an insect and dragged that away everyone in the auditorium stared at us and I was so embarrassed after that day Dad's face was plastered all over the media and in school Whispers started to fly around about my family and one day I overheard Elijah a cop's son in my school discussing my business in a crowd of people and it drove me crazy don't you have something better to do than gossip like committing fraud I lost it and pounced on him but after a few seconds the principal showed up and dragged me away from Elijah into his office where he dropped a bombshell you'll be expelled what that's not fair I don't want to do this but your father offended the government and I put this school in a bad Spotlight there's nothing I can really do like an outcast I was banished from the school grounds the only way my family and I would be fine again is if my dad was proven innocent so I decided to Snoop around the lab where my parents worked as soon as mom found out what I was up to she went crazy give it up your dad is a criminal do you also want to follow in his footsteps I couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth dad is not a criminal mom someone's probably setting him up we need to search the lab dad keeps everything from working there there are harmful chemicals in there I am not letting you win and stay away from the investigation if the cops find out what you're up to they could arrest you for interfering and you'll end up like your criminal father jeez it feels like you don't care that Dad is in jail mom ignored me and her actions just didn't make any sense why was she not concerned about Dad the way I was mom started acting strange like one day I opened my cupboard and found all my swimsuits shredded into pieces mom what is the meaning of this I'm just protecting you who knows maybe you carry the same Madness like your dad the further you stay away from the sea the better the next day she installed security cameras all over the house to make sure I never went near the sea or the aquarium well she missed a spot the backyard get back into the house right now mom's punishment made me so sad that I confide in Inky one morning even though he was an animal I felt he understood me more than people sometimes I feel like Mom hates me and he pointed one of his tentacles to a poster of an event dad wanted to take me to before his arrest sta invites you to their annual marine life festival where we can all be free like the fish pinky you're a genius you're right I can find people that no doubt at that event and ask them questions the next day as soon as mom left for work I snuck out of the house in a disguise to the festival as I walked around searching for familiar faces I bumped into Elijah and I hated to admit it but he looked different cuter not like it made any difference he was the last familiar face I wanted to see are you blind couldn't you see me coming sorry I got distracted taking pictures of dolphins was he apologizing that didn't sound like Elijah at all maybe it was because he couldn't recognize me either way I felt like a huge jerk I'm sorry for yelling at you um is that one of the pictures yeah just a couple of basic photos the organizer is hired me to take well he was a really good photographer they're perfect I could take one of you if you want of course I do I pose next to the Dolphins and Elijah took some great photos you are so photogenic I feel like I've seen you before what's your name I'm Kat um I have to go now wait can I at least get your number I quickly wrote down a fake number and hurried off before he recognized me when I got home mom was waiting for me in my room what are you doing in my room did you really think I wouldn't notice your disguise an event where my workplace was a sponsor okay maybe I should have done some browsing before sneaking out but I had no idea Elijah was going to publish my photos I'm sorry I just needed to clear my head a lot has been weighing on me and Inky's the only one here for me we are never here and now he'll no longer be because of your silly act mom suddenly grabbed Inky's aquarium and I just couldn't watch her take the only friend I had away mom please don't take Anki away I'm doing this for your own good sea animals are dangerous Inky squirted some ink at mom's face in defense see dangerous just like I told you he's not he felt threatened by you if you enjoy him that much I'll lock you two in here forever like a lunatic mom grabbed my room keys and stomped outside then turned around to lock my door mom mom please unlock my door no matter how loud I screamed mom pretended not to hear me and I went over to Inky to complain some more about her but to my surprise he attacked me too what are you doing after nearly an hour of struggling Inky released me with a small bite and when I looked at my face in the mirror pull it out the loudest scream ever then zoned out the next time I woke up I found myself in the hospital with Mom beside my bed what happened that octopus attacked you I told you that sea animals were dangerous but you never listened to me I already took him out of your room slowly the events of that day poured into my brain no Mom you can't it wasn't his fault shh don't stress yourself I'll bet you're hungry I'll order some food and head straight to work see you later an hour after Mom left someone walked into my room and I was shocked to find Elijah with a pizza box ma'am you ordered for pizza oh my God not him again I pulled the blankets over my face and changed my voice welcome strange boy I don't know at all uh just dropped the pizza on the table and go thank you Elijah how do you know my name oops wait a minute Elijah suddenly walked up to me and pulled the blanket away from my face if it isn't the criminal's daughter if it isn't the dude can stick to one job photographer delivery man what's the next thing that was you at the event you must have had some fun tricking me cat you bet I did and you fell for it to my surprise Elijah slumped beside me with a tired expression I guess I did deserve that for being a jerk huh yeah you were a jerk at school but I'm over that now I guess since I know about your dad it's only fair I tell you about mine he did some investment that didn't pay too well and now he's broke I have to work multiple jobs to help out I'm sorry about that I wish there was something I could do to help it's fine I'm sorry about your dad too I don't really think he's a criminal I was just being a jerk Elijah and I became cool and when the hospital discharged me he dropped me home into my surprise Mom was quite welcoming I guess my illness made her relax a little why don't you come over for dinner someday you can bring your parents too sure will ma'am goodbye Elizabeth after that day Elijah and I hung out a few times around the beach and I carefully followed mom's instructions I avoided to see and never asked about Inky so she wouldn't get upset with me again which made her happy but then one midnight I noticed something strange I heard some noise and looked through the window only to find mom talking to some strange men beside a truck it made me really curious and I tiptoed outside to check what they were up to and you'd never guess what I found at the back of the truck aquariums lots and lots of them Mom what's going on just some work stuff nothing serious go back to bed honey but Mom gently nudged me into the house and I couldn't help but wonder why she was acting strange my gut feeling told me that she was up to something the next evening when Elijah and his dad came over for dinner mom took a 360 turn thank you for inviting us to dinner it's good to see you're doing better after your husband's arrest I know I'm a cop but if you need a shoulder excuse me you're a what Mom quickly Rose from her seat and started to yell at Elijah's father like a maniac I don't want Cops in my house after what you did to my husband you have so much guts leave this instant geez what was wrong with her um please don't worry we're leaving you're right it was rude of me to show up here as soon as Elijah and his dad left Mom faced me didn't I warn you to stay away from the investigation I didn't know his dad was a cop and since when did you care about Dad's arrest so much that you don't want to cop around why don't you stay out of adults business go play with your dumb octopus or something you took him away remember I miss dad so much you're so mean I dashed up to my room and shut the door behind me I had just about enough of mom and her harshness towards me as I was lying in my bed lost in thought I suddenly heard Pebbles softly hitting my window It Was Elijah oh I was so excited to see him with my help he climbed into my room and I hugged him I'm so sorry about my mom's Outburst it's okay I wanted to make sure you were all right I was tired of keeping everything to myself and decided to let it all out I'm not mom is so difficult to live with and she's been acting strange I think she's up to something yeah her Outburst at the table today was unusual what do you think we should do investigate I need to find out why she's suddenly acting this way we'll start with that lab of hers I hit Elijah in my room for a few hours until I was certain mom wouldn't be in the lab at which point We snuck out and were met by Mom security system do you have any idea what it might be nah I think I saw her type her password on her laptop once let me try Angle Fish and voila it worked Eliza and I went in and found so many animals and aquariums in the lab including my pet octopus Inky I found some stash of papers near his aquarium and studied them are those receipts and invoices yes I think my mom has been the one stealing sea animals from her workplace and selling them to people and she was going to sell Inky as well or Inky no wonder he attacked me he could sense he was in danger when I couldn't even tell octopuses were really smart I looked around and noticed that there was a lot of evidence against Mom showing that she had framed dad for her crimes quick take pictures of everything you find Elijah this is evidence that my dad is innocent Elijah started taking pictures and I grabbed Inky's aquarium as soon as he was done we hurried to the door but not fast enough because mom walked in on us if it isn't my foolish daughter and her boyfriend you two should have never come here give it up Mom we know what you've been up to that's why you freaked out when you found out Elijah's dad was a cop huh I was doing everything in here for us but you're a foolish father like you couldn't understand you two think you're so clever but I'm making a lot of money for our family how do you think we managed to afford all this I didn't ask you to commit crimes to make money I just wanted a mother and you were a terrible one shut up you ungrateful child mom blocked the doorway with her body you'll have to go through me well that was easy I held on to Inky as I ran head straight into mom pushing her to the ground come on Elijah let's hurry you'll regret this as Elijah drove us to his three dark cars suddenly showed up and started chasing us Elijah surprised me with his driving skills and managed to lose them how did you learn to drive like that my dad is a cop remember I learned a lot from him as soon as we reached Elijah's house he reversed his bike and his dad immediately came out Dad we need your help urgently what's wrong my mom is after us we found out she framed my dad for her crimes we have all the evidence here wow that's a lot hold on kids I'll get my keys and drive you to the station I didn't hesitate to expose my mom because what she did was so wrong and didn't even care about dad who always treated her like a queen the next day the news about Mom's crime spread like wildfire and she was arrested by a team led by Elijah's dad right before she could Escape he got a huge raise for his involvement in the case I never got the chance to say thank you for helping me you're an amazing person you're amazing too I hope we never stop being friends when my dad was released from prison I was over the moon Dad I've missed you so much you weren't around and mom made my life hell I heard about that I wish you had listened to me but she got too greedy well it doesn't matter now she's paying for her crimes yeah you're right let's go home I take spending time with the people I loved any day over wealth and Theft
