00:00Hi, I'm Olivia, and this is my story about living with a literal devil.
00:04Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:06Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with space, the planets, and the stars.
00:10When I was 10, I painted the Milky Way all over my bedroom walls.
00:13Look, Mom, doesn't it look amazing?
00:15Ew, it looks like a bird pooped all over a blue wall.
00:18You're such a geek.
00:19At least it's better than having a pea-sized brain.
00:22You take that back!
00:23Evelyn pounced on me, and the two of us fought like wild pigs till Mom separated us.
00:28In case you're wondering who Evelyn is, she's my sister, a monster, a witch, and a literal devil.
00:33Did I say that already?
00:34Even though she's two years older, we're in the same class because Evelyn failed the second grade twice,
00:39and I never let her forget that.
00:41Nor did Dad.
00:42He was a world-renowned mathematician and tried his best to make Evelyn smarter,
00:46but it was mission impossible.
00:48Give me three examples of solid, liquid, and gas states.
00:51Poop, pee, fart.
00:52Nailed it!
00:53See what I mean?
00:54I, on the other hand, was a brilliant student, always making Dad proud.
00:57Evelyn and I never got along, but things got worse when Mom started dragging her off to beauty pageants and acting classes.
01:03And at 13, she got the lead on a hit TV show.
01:06Evelyn became famous overnight and turned into a self-absorbed diva.
01:10Even at school, she constantly threw tantrums and treated everyone like her personal assistant.
01:15This milkshake is trash.
01:17I said no sugar.
01:18Get me a new one.
01:19Are you going to a hideous skirt convention after school?
01:22Have fun, but do my homework before you leave.
01:24She was horrible, but people still loved her because she was famous.
01:28She had no time to study and failed more classes, which made Dad madder at Mom.
01:32Evelyn's on a mission to destroy her own future, and it's your fault for pushing her into this stupid career.
01:37But she's good at what she does.
01:38Not many girls her age are this famous.
01:40And once her looks are gone, what will she have to fall back on?
01:43Nothing.
01:43Pull her out of this glam business before she becomes a total lost cause.
01:47The more Dad tried getting Evelyn to study, the more rebellious she got, until eventually he gave up.
01:52On my 15th birthday, Dad got me a top-of-the-line telescope.
01:56And I wanted to test it out immediately, so I rushed to the rooftop.
01:59As I was setting it up, I saw someone lurking in the shadows.
02:02I immediately picked up a broom lying nearby.
02:04Whoever you are, know that I'm armed and I can do some serious damage!
02:08Just then a boy my age appeared and I smacked his face with the broom and he fell down.
02:12Who are you? What do you want?
02:14I, uh, I'm Nolan, your new neighbor.
02:16I come in peace.
02:17I just wanted to watch this meteor shower.
02:19Don't you have a roof at your house?
02:21The view here is much better.
02:22Oh wow, how cool is that telescope? Can I see it?
02:25Nolan and I quickly became friends.
02:27He was a space nerd like me, not to mention a total hottie.
02:31We hung out every day for hours and maybe I even developed a teeny tiny crush on Nolan.
02:36Then one time, Nolan and I were chilling in our front lawn when Evelyn showed up,
02:40threw a drink in Nolan's face and shoved me into the mud.
02:43Evelyn, have you lost your mind?
02:45Shut up, Quasimodo.
02:46My mind is just fine.
02:47It's that jerk that's gone crazy.
02:49He is blind and dumb as a rock and I don't like his stupid face.
02:53Evelyn ran away and I was totally confused until Nolan explained.
02:56I saw your sister yesterday at the mall.
02:58She spoke to me for a bit and then asked me out.
03:00She did what?
03:02Yeah, but I told her I wasn't interested.
03:04I think that's why she's acting out.
03:06Evelyn was never pleasant to me, but this time she'd gone too far.
03:09I went in to confront her, but mom stopped me.
03:12Sweetie, please.
03:13Evelyn told me about how she behaved.
03:14She just had a really tough day.
03:16Give her a break.
03:16She'll be better tomorrow, I promise.
03:18Mom shoved a hundred dollar bill in my hand and walked away.
03:21And after that day, Evelyn just got worse.
03:23Every time Nolan came to visit, Evelyn would interrupt our conversations,
03:27spill drinks on our clothes, throw things in our face,
03:29and if nothing worked, she'd start screaming the lines from her show.
03:33What? I'm giving you guys a private show.
03:35Enjoy it.
03:36I wanted to slap Evelyn hard, but mom always threw herself between us
03:40and gave me some stupid excuse for Evelyn's behavior.
03:43But things really hit the roof when the school year ended
03:45and my parents threw me a huge party for acing my exams.
03:48I was getting ready when Evelyn walked in.
03:50You should be in jail for wearing that dress.
03:52What do you want?
03:53To save you from ruining my reputation.
03:55Please let me pick something nice for you and fix your hair.
03:58And why would I take your help?
03:59Because you like Nolan and you want him to notice you.
04:02And I know exactly how you can do that.
04:04Okay, you have my attention.
04:06Perfect, let's give you a makeover.
04:08I was confused by her change in attitude, but she did have good taste,
04:11so I went along.
04:12She pulled out a curling iron and was working on my hair
04:15when suddenly I smelled smoke.
04:17I ran a hand through my hair and half of it fell off.
04:20Oops, maybe I used too much heat.
04:23I screamed, cried, and ran around the room.
04:26Mom came running, and when she realized what had happened,
04:28she quickly started doing damage control.
04:30She cut off the rest of my hair to make it even,
04:33but I looked like a walking conehead.
04:35I was so embarrassed when I walked down the stairs,
04:38even my dog didn't recognize me.
04:40Just then I caught Evelyn in the corner with this weird grin on her face
04:43and I grabbed her by the hair.
04:45You did it on purpose, didn't you?
04:46Olivia, leave me alone.
04:48What are you doing?
04:49I lunged at her and we got into a huge fight.
04:52The party was an epic fail,
04:53and Evelyn tried apologizing to me after.
04:55But of course, she didn't mean it.
04:57I refused to listen to a word.
04:59And after that, I stopped talking to her altogether
05:01and avoided her like the plague.
05:03Thank God I had Nolan as a great distraction.
05:06In 12th grade, I started a summer internship at an observatory.
05:09On the first day, all the new interns were paired up with lab partners
05:12to tackle research projects,
05:13and the best one would be published in a super fancy science paper.
05:16I was partnered with a boy named Aaron.
05:18I think we're gonna ace this research,
05:20because your mind is out of this world.
05:21Get it? Out of this world? Like aliens?
05:24That was pretty lame, right?
05:25I've heard worse.
05:26Aaron was smart, and together we were the best team.
05:29But writing a research paper was a lot of work,
05:31and I wasn't able to spend much time with Nolan.
05:34The night before we had to submit the research,
05:36Aaron and I were going over last-minute changes,
05:38and it was late by the time I got home.
05:40Even my phone had died, and when I recharged it,
05:42I saw Nolan had called and texted me a lot.
05:45That's when it hit me.
05:46It was Nolan's birthday,
05:48and we were supposed to meet at a restaurant hours earlier.
05:50I called him immediately,
05:52but he ignored my calls, so I went to his place.
05:54I'm the worst friend ever. I'm so sorry.
05:57I waited all night like a loser.
05:59Aaron had some important stuff to discuss about the research.
06:02Oh, Aaron had important stuff to discuss,
06:04so you forgot my birthday?
06:06Hope you two had a good time.
06:07Then Nolan just slammed the door in my face.
06:10Feeling bummed, I walked back to my house
06:12and bumped right into Evelyn.
06:13Wow, you look like you've eaten a thousand chilies.
06:16Have you been crying?
06:17Want to talk about it?
06:18Stuff your face with ice cream?
06:19It'll make you feel better.
06:20Just leave me alone, Evelyn.
06:22I spent the next week trying to make it right with Nolan,
06:24but he was still distant.
06:26Soon I got some really good news.
06:27Our research paper had won.
06:29Aaron and I decided to have a party
06:30at the observatory to celebrate,
06:32and thankfully, Nolan accepted my invitation.
06:34Even my parents and Evelyn showed up.
06:36Everything was going great till Nolan left to get some drinks,
06:39and then Aaron walked up to me, pulled me in,
06:41and kissed me on the lips.
06:44What are you doing?
06:45What?
06:46Your sister told me you liked me,
06:47but were too shy to ask me out.
06:49Before I could react, I saw Nolan staring
06:51at us from across the room.
06:52He turned to leave, but I caught up with him.
06:54Where are you going?
06:55Back home.
06:56You have Aaron to keep you company.
06:58You don't need me.
06:59Nolan, you've got it all wrong.
07:01I'm not an idiot, Olivia.
07:02I saw you two kissing, and I get it.
07:05You like him, and that's fine.
07:06It's not like you and I are together.
07:08I just need to go.
07:09Nolan left, and after that, he refused
07:11to take my calls or see me.
07:13I was so mad at Evelyn, I wanted to throw her in a shredder.
07:17When I got home, she and mom had already
07:18left for Paris for a photo shoot.
07:21The last couple of weeks of the internship with Aaron
07:23were awkward, and we didn't keep in touch after.
07:25But to my dismay, Nolan now had a girlfriend
07:28that Evelyn never failed to rub in my face.
07:30I caught the two of them making out last night
07:32on the roof.
07:33Oh, such cuties.
07:34Look, I even clicked a picture.
07:35You're sick, Evelyn.
07:37First, you lied to Aaron that I liked him
07:39and drove Nolan away, and now you're
07:40rubbing his new girlfriend in my face?
07:42I didn't drive anyone away.
07:44Nolan was just way out of your league anyway,
07:46says the girl he rejected on her face.
07:48That's just because he has bad taste.
07:50Not bad enough to date you, but still bad.
07:53Anyway, I have a shoot tomorrow, and I need my beauty sleep.
07:56But the next morning, I woke up to Evelyn
07:57screaming like a maniac.
07:59One of her co-stars claimed that during their time
08:01together on set, Evelyn swapped her shampoo
08:04bottle with hair remover.
08:05Another colleague said Evelyn spiked her food
08:07with chili powder, making her sick
08:09and miss a huge audition.
08:10The whole media was exploding with hatred for Evelyn.
08:13And of course, she denied it.
08:15How dare they?
08:16I never did any of that.
08:18Why are they lying?
08:19But no matter what she said, Evelyn's reputation
08:22was done for.
08:23She got kicked out of her show, and no one
08:24wanted to work with her.
08:26She was devastated and hardly left her room.
08:28Even though I knew Evelyn deserved it,
08:30I kind of felt bad for her.
08:31Then one night, I was walking back home by myself
08:34after watching a vampire movie with some friends,
08:36when suddenly I heard some rustling behind me.
08:38I turned around to look, and I saw a white figure
08:40hovering in the air.
08:42I panicked and ran for my life and crashed right into Nolan.
08:45Ollie, are you OK?
08:46A ghost.
08:47There's a ghost following me.
08:49It's here to skin me alive and drink my blood.
08:51You mean that trash bag?
08:52I turned around and saw that it was indeed
08:55a large white trash bag flying around in the breeze.
08:58And the two of us started laughing like crazy.
09:00We decided to get some coffee, and it felt great
09:02reconnecting with him.
09:04So how's the girlfriend?
09:06We broke up.
09:07And Erin?
09:08We don't talk anymore.
09:09Nolan, that kiss with Erin.
09:10You don't owe me an explanation, Ollie.
09:12It's not like we were together then.
09:14But we can be now.
09:15I've always liked you, Ollie.
09:17You think we can give us a shot?
09:18I think I'd really like that.
09:20For our first official date, Nolan
09:22made reservations at a really fancy restaurant.
09:24My parents were out of town for a wedding,
09:26and I'd left Evelyn sulking alone at home.
09:28But halfway through dinner, I suddenly
09:29got a call from the police.
09:31Apparently, someone had broken into our house,
09:33smashed things, and attacked Evelyn.
09:35Nolan and I rushed and saw her covered in bruises,
09:38unconscious.
09:39The police then showed us the neighbor's security camera
09:41that caught a weird creature running out of our house.
09:44Is that an alien?
09:46Whoa.
09:47We didn't have time to go through every detail
09:49and rushed Evelyn to the hospital.
09:50Doctors told us that her injuries weren't serious,
09:53but she needed rest.
09:54But the news that Evelyn was attacked by an alien
09:56was spreading like wildfire.
09:58After that, a dozen reporters showed up at our house
10:00to interview her.
10:01How did the alien look?
10:02Did he walk or fly?
10:04It was an alien?
10:05I'm not sure.
10:06I can't remember what happened.
10:07She's in shock.
10:08Poor baby.
10:09Maybe you guys can come back later.
10:10With all these stupid theories floating around,
10:12Evelyn's popularity was rising by the minute.
10:15She was on all the talk shows and getting interviewed
10:17by famous magazines.
10:18And mom accompanied her everywhere.
10:20At first, she had said she didn't remember anything,
10:22but now she was making up bizarre stories.
10:24So this was a big creature.
10:26And at first, I was really scared.
10:28But then I remembered my jujitsu training,
10:30and I conquered my fear and fought with that thing.
10:32Let me show you.
10:33Hi-ya!
10:34Hi-ya!
10:35Soon, she was being lauded as a hero
10:37and even landed a major role in an alien movie.
10:40But I could tell something didn't sound right.
10:42Maybe she's telling the truth.
10:44You know, there's been news of possible alien sightings
10:46around this area for months.
10:47And well, I believe in aliens, kind of.
10:50Yeah, me too.
10:51But she's literally changed her story 100 times.
10:54Her fans might be stupid, but I'm not.
10:56I just know she's lying.
10:57I decided to do my own investigation
10:59and snuck into Evelyn's room.
11:01I searched everywhere, but then I found something
11:03hidden under a loose floorboard, a box with a baseball bat,
11:07and an alien costume.
11:08Armed with the evidence, I confronted Evelyn.
11:11What's this?
11:11A bad Halloween costume.
11:12Why?
11:13I found this in your room, Evelyn.
11:14You lied to the whole world about getting
11:16attacked by an alien.
11:17But it was you, wasn't it?
11:19Why?
11:19Am I supposed to tell you that when I don't
11:21know what happened either?
11:22Drop the act, or I swear I will go to the paparazzi
11:25outside and tell them that you faked the alien
11:27attack to get publicity.
11:28I turned to leave, but Evelyn grabbed my hand
11:30and started crying.
11:31I swear, I don't know what actually happened that night.
11:35I've been having blackouts for years, Ollie,
11:37ever since I started acting.
11:38I know that it was wrong to lie about this alien attack,
11:41but my career was tanking.
11:42I saw an opportunity and took it.
11:44And if you spill the truth now, my career will be over.
11:47And how am I supposed to believe you now,
11:49since you've lied about everything else?
11:51Because it's the truth.
11:52Mom went inside her room and came out
11:54with a medical report that mentioned
11:56Evelyn had dissociative personality disorder.
11:58The report said that Evelyn had created a second persona
12:01who was perfect at her job, ruthless to everyone
12:04she thought of as competition, and triggered
12:06when she felt rejected or sad.
12:08What?
12:08Since when have you known this?
12:10Since Evelyn's co-stars accused her
12:11of tampering with her shampoo.
12:12I knew something was wrong ever since we started working,
12:15but I assumed it was stress.
12:16But then this news about her colleagues broke out,
12:18and she lost all her work.
12:20When she pulled off that alien stunt,
12:21I realized that this could be an opportunity
12:23to regain popularity.
12:25So I asked her to lie to the public.
12:27I know it was wrong, and I'm sorry.
12:28I can't believe you kept this from us, Mom.
12:31Why would you do something so horrible?
12:32I have always just wanted Evelyn to be successful,
12:35and to prove it to your dad that she is as good as you.
12:37He always put her down, and that broke her self-confidence.
12:40I couldn't let that happen again.
12:41But what you did was wrong, Mom.
12:43You made my condition worse.
12:45Mom kept apologizing, but all of us were furious at her.
12:48Evelyn left for rehab soon after, and it took some time.
12:52But after therapy and medication,
12:53she started to get better.
12:54Mom begged and cried for forgiveness,
12:56and it took some time.
12:57But eventually, Dad and I forgave her.
12:59Then one evening, Nolan and I were sitting in the park
13:01when someone jumped on me from the bushes.
13:03Evelyn!
13:04Gosh!
13:05You scared the crabs out of me!
13:07When did you get back from rehab?
13:09Just now.
13:09And I have to say, I missed your stupid face.
13:12I know I should have said it sooner,
13:13but I'm sorry, Ollie,
13:15for all the times I've been a miserable sister to you.
13:17It's okay. All in the past.
13:18Really? You're the sweetest.
13:20Here, I got you a present.
13:22I opened the box you gave me,
13:23and a toy clown flew into my face.
13:25I chased Evelyn around as Nolan laughed hysterically.
13:28Guess some things never change.
