00:00It's weird to think about why we even need enemies when we've got siblings.
00:04That's my thought when I look at my sister Natasha, and when she looks at me.
00:08To be honest, things weren't always like this.
00:10I used to have an awesome relationship with Natasha.
00:13She was just two years older than me, and man, I idolized her like crazy.
00:17Everywhere she went, people would be in awe of her beauty.
00:20Her hair was thick and shiny, her skin was as soft as silk, and her eyes were a captivating blue.
00:26Not only was she gorgeous, she was also a genius, passing every test with flying colors.
00:32People couldn't help but stare when she walked by.
00:34Natasha is the meaning of beauty and brains.
00:37She looks like a Barbie doll, but a smart Barbie doll.
00:40I'm in love with her.
00:42All right, hold your horses.
00:43She's my sis, remember?
00:45Sometimes I don't believe that.
00:47Look at you, and look at her.
00:49I mean, you're cool, but Nat, she's hot.
00:52You might think I'd be all green with envy, but nah.
00:55It was because Natasha wasn't just my sis, she was my BFF.
00:59I totally admired her.
01:01She always pushed me to own my confidence and embrace my true self, no matter what.
01:05You are perfect, beautiful, and strong.
01:08Always remember that.
01:09Got it?
01:10Good.
01:10Growing up, my favorite thing was to watch Natasha work her makeup magic.
01:15She had a YouTube channel where she taught how to put on makeup, and I used to sit there
01:19and admire her.
01:20Watching her made me so happy.
01:22But there was this one time, I was riled up as she got ready.
01:26It was my birthday the next day, and so I wanted to chill and watch a movie with Natasha,
01:30but instead, she had to go on a stupid date with her jerk boyfriend.
01:34Stop with the pouting already.
01:36I'll throw you a massive party tomorrow.
01:38Ugh, fine.
01:39But you promise about the party tomorrow?
01:41Pinky promise.
01:42I love you.
01:43Bye-bye.
01:43Once Natasha was gone, I felt so bored because Mom and Dad weren't home either.
01:48So I decided to try on Natasha's makeup and even straightened my hair like hers.
01:53I looked awesome, but I had no idea that night would change everything.
01:57My life, my relationship with my sister, my future.
02:01I woke up to a room filled with smoke.
02:03Someone was calling my name.
02:05It was Natasha.
02:06Natasha, help me.
02:08I'm coming, Ariel.
02:09Natasha rushed to my side and dragged me out of the room.
02:12The last thing I remember was my sister carrying me, and then everything went dark.
02:17I woke up in a hospital bed and immediately remembered how my sister had saved me.
02:21She wasn't just my sister now.
02:23She was my hero.
02:24I ran to Natasha's room, and the moment I was about to hug her, she started yelling.
02:29You!
02:29Why is she here?
02:31Mom!
02:32Dad!
02:32Take her away!
02:33But why?
02:34Why is she angry with me?
02:36Angry at you?
02:37Ugh!
02:38Ariel!
02:39You left that straightener on, and it caused a fire!
02:42In saving you?
02:43Look what happened to me!
02:44It's your fault, Ariel!
02:46Look what you did to me!
02:48Honey, it was an accident.
02:49An accident she caused!
02:51Please, take her away!
02:53Her words hit me hard, but my heart sank seeing how shattered she looked.
02:58Once we were home, I realized Natasha's burn scar crushed her confidence.
03:02Though it faded with time, she was never the same.
03:05She hid it under her hair, ditched school for homeschooling, and even stopped making YouTube
03:10videos.
03:10She got even sadder when her loser boyfriend dumped her.
03:13I knew she blamed me, but still, I was determined to remind her how amazing and beautiful she
03:19was, just like she used to remind me.
03:21Natasha, I need to talk to you.
03:23Don't think about that, jerk.
03:24He never deserved you, and you're the prettiest girl in town.
03:28Shut up!
03:29Just shut up, Ariel, and stay out of my room!
03:32Just give her some time.
03:33She'll come around, honey.
03:34She loves you.
03:35I love her too, but I miss her.
03:37I miss my sister.
03:39I wished and hoped that one day, Natasha would forgive me and things would go back to normal.
03:44Before I knew it, it was my 16th birthday, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
03:49After all, Natasha had promised to make it special two years ago, but I knew that wasn't
03:54gonna happen.
03:55So I grabbed a cupcake and a candle and headed up to the school rooftop, just like I had done
04:00the past two years.
04:01Just as I was about to blow out the candle, I noticed someone else was there.
04:04It was Damon, the school's resident heartthrob.
04:07He had transferred just a month ago, and all the girls were going crazy over him.
04:11It was the biggest flirt and always tried to hit on me, but honestly, I found him to
04:16be cringe.
04:17Oh, hey, pretty lady.
04:19Not this again.
04:20Save your cheesy lines for your fan club.
04:22Now please leave.
04:23Wow, didn't know you owned the school building.
04:26Please, I need to hide here.
04:27You know that girl I started dating, Amanda?
04:29Ashley, her name's Ashley.
04:32Yeah, her.
04:32I told her, it's me, not you.
04:35And it looks like I'm a wanted man now.
04:37Fine.
04:38Stay, but keep your mouth zipped.
04:40So what are you up to?
04:41Is it your birthday?
04:42Um, you wouldn't want to celebrate alone.
04:44How about I be your partner in crime?
04:46I'll even sing you happy birthday.
04:48No.
04:48Okay, fine.
04:50Yo, happy birthday, girl.
04:51You're turning 16.
04:53Time to break free from that boring routine.
04:55They say you're dull, but that's a lame disguise.
04:58On your special day, let's see you rise.
05:00It's your birthday, girl.
05:02Time to let loose.
05:03No more snooze fest.
05:04Let's turn up the juice.
05:06Forget the haters.
05:07Show them how you shine.
05:08Get ready.
05:09Have a blast.
05:09It's party time.
05:10The moment he was done, I burst out laughing so hard I could barely breathe.
05:16We shared the cupcake, and after that, we were best buds.
05:20Damon was the friend I always needed, and together, we unleashed the ultimate teenage chaos.
05:26We pranked teachers, danced like maniacs in the hallway, and had so much fun together.
05:31With him by my side, I was smiling again.
05:34But being Damon's friend wasn't all fun and games.
05:37The girls at school literally hated me for being his best friend.
05:41One time, as Damon and I sat in the lunch area, we overheard some girls gossiping about us.
05:45What does he even see in her?
05:47She's like a plain Jane.
05:49She's not even a size 0 like me.
05:51She's a size 10.
05:52A 10 is like the new size 18.
05:55Plus, her hair?
05:56So curly.
05:57Damon looked furious, but I stopped him.
06:00I knew how to handle this.
06:01Psh, whatever.
06:02I may be a plain Jane, but you're just jealous of my effortlessly chic style.
06:07And you, listen up.
06:09Size 10 is where the style and curves have a party.
06:12I'm rocking the best of both worlds.
06:14And I know you're just jealous of my envy-inducing curls, because your hair is full of lice.
06:19Yeah, I saw you scratching your head like crazy in the bathroom.
06:23Might want to keep your distance, girls.
06:25Everyone started to giggle, and her friends left her table in an instant, which made her super pissed.
06:30And all of a sudden, she lunged at me like a furious cat.
06:34But I pushed her away.
06:35Damon grabbed my hand, and we ran out of the cafeteria.
06:39What's outside?
06:39I looked down to see my shirt had been torn by that witch.
06:43Damon suggested I go home and change.
06:45So we headed to my place.
06:46It was the first time I was taking Damon home.
06:48Since the accident, I had never invited anyone to my place.
06:52Wait here.
06:53I'll be back in two minutes.
06:54Gotcha.
06:54Just as I was done changing, I heard a loud scream.
06:58It was Natasha.
06:58I ran downstairs, only to find Natasha holding Damon in a chokehold.
07:03Ariel, call 911.
07:05Now!
07:05I caught a thief.
07:06I won't let him hurt you.
07:08Honestly, it felt good to hear her say my name, after what felt like forever.
07:13Ariel, who's this cutie?
07:15She's my sister.
07:17Nat, this is Damon, my friend from school.
07:19You can relax.
07:21Oh, I am sorry.
07:24Um, since you're out of your room, can I get you something?
07:27Can I make you, um, lunch?
07:29Wanna watch a movie together?
07:31Wanna go out?
07:32Natasha looked at me like I was crazy, and Damon stared at her, completely shocked.
07:36He awkwardly offered her his hand.
07:38But the moment she did, Natasha covered her scar and sprinted to her room, slamming the
07:43door shut.
07:43Damon was left there standing completely confused.
07:46Did I do something wrong?
07:48I shook my head and left the house with Damon.
07:50On our way back to school, I told him the entire story.
07:53After hearing it all, Damon suggested I keep trying to talk to Natasha.
07:57He said she still cared for me.
07:59Considering she had protected me and thought Damon was a thief, he was right.
08:02I shouldn't give up on the love Natasha and I had.
08:05I kept trying to make things better between my sister and me.
08:08I cooked her favorite meals, baked her favorite treats.
08:11I sent her sweet texts and reminded her of all the good times we had together.
08:15But nothing.
08:16Even Damon tried to help me.
08:17He started coming over more and more, and whenever Natasha was out of her room, he'd
08:22tell her lame jokes and would try to chat with her.
08:24While at the start, she ignored him like he didn't exist.
08:27Slowly, I noticed how Natasha started to smile at his jokes and sometimes even spoke to him.
08:33I was happy, but to be honest, I couldn't help but feel a tad bit jealous that she'd respond
08:38to him and not me.
08:39One time, it was Valentine's Day and we had this fun fair at school.
08:42Damon came to pick me up and just as I stepped out of my room, I spotted him outside Natasha's
08:47room.
08:48What are you doing?
08:49Nothing.
08:50Doesn't look like nothing to me.
08:51Show me.
08:52My heart sank when I saw Natasha's name on the box.
08:55I didn't know what to think.
08:56You can't do this.
08:57Nope, you can't give it to her.
08:59First, she won't accept it.
09:01And second, I don't want you flirting with my sister.
09:03She's been hurt in the past too, and I know you, Damon.
09:06You're the biggest flirt in school.
09:08He tried to protest, but I was having none of it.
09:10I felt my head spinning, and the urge to go to the fun fair suddenly disappeared.
09:15The next few days were a struggle.
09:17I was so mad at Damon and refused to talk to him, but he kept calling.
09:21Trying to ignore him, I focused on my college applications.
09:24I had applied to a ton of colleges and was accepted in most of them.
09:28I just needed to make a choice about where to go.
09:30Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Damon appeared out of nowhere.
09:34No, I don't want to talk.
09:36You have to.
09:36Please, just listen to me.
09:38Ariel, I really like your sister.
09:40A lot.
09:41I wasn't expecting you to be jealous.
09:43I'm sorry.
09:43I didn't know you had this big, fat crush on me.
09:46OMG.
09:47Me having a crush on you?
09:48Ugh.
09:49I was mad because I don't want to see Natasha get hurt again.
09:52Her ex-boyfriend dumped her when she needed him the most.
09:55Damon, you're my buddy, but I know what a big flirt you are.
09:58My sister deserves the best, so please.
10:01Listen, I know I don't have the best reputation when it comes to dating,
10:05but I promise, I promise I won't hurt her.
10:08The few times I have talked to her, I realized what an amazing person she is.
10:12I just wish she could see herself the way I see her, the way you see her, beautiful inside out.
10:18Damon's words shocked me.
10:19The funny guy suddenly showed he cared for Natasha.
10:23I had to step back and give my blessings, with a warning to break his bones if he hurt my sister.
10:28That night, Natasha came to me and she was fuming.
10:32You little...
10:33You think I'm some pathetic, lonely girl?
10:36You told your friend to ask me out, didn't you?
10:39Are you taking pity on me?
10:40Is he taking pity on me?
10:42Are you crazy?
10:43Why would he pity you?
10:44You're a beautiful, smart, amazing girl.
10:47He likes you for who you are, Nat.
10:49Just... just stay out of my life.
10:52I... I hate you, Ariel.
10:53I know.
10:54I know you hate me, Natasha.
10:56And you know what?
10:57Maybe I hate myself too.
10:58For... for what I did.
11:00I've been hating myself the past two years.
11:03It was the first time in my life I was talking to Natasha this way.
11:06But I needed to let it all out.
11:08Every time you ignore me, I feel like someone hit me in the gut.
11:12That day when the accident happened, I tried to style my hair like yours,
11:16wanting to be just as amazing.
11:18I love you so much, but I guess it's too late.
11:21You just told me you hate me for the first time.
11:24Well, let me put your mind at ease.
11:26I won't be here for long.
11:27I got accepted into a college far away.
11:30You won't be seeing me as much.
11:31I guess it would be for the best.
11:33Saying those words, Natasha turned to leave,
11:36but her foot slipped and she was about to go tumbling down the stairs.
11:39But thank God I caught her just in time.
11:41But I ended up with a twisted ankle as a result and let out a scream.
11:45Mom and Dad came rushing.
11:46All the while, Natasha stood there, stunned.
11:50I ended up with a cast and had to stay in bed for a month.
11:53At first, Natasha was kind of hesitant to even enter my room.
11:56But slowly, she started to come into my room to check on me often.
11:59One day, she brought in my dinner and asked why I saved her from falling.
12:03I had just one simple answer for her.
12:06Because I love you and I don't ever want to see you hurt.
12:09Two months later, I packed my bags and left for college.
12:12At college, I was super focused on my studying.
12:14I did make some friends there, but I really missed Damon.
12:18Even though he called me every now and then, it just wasn't the same.
12:21Time passed and it was my 19th birthday.
12:24And like always, I bought myself a candle and a cupcake and went to the college's rooftop.
12:28Just as I was about to blow the little candle, I heard a loud noise.
12:32Surprise!
12:32Suddenly, all the lights turned on and I was stunned to see my parents, Damon, and Natasha there.
12:39The whole rooftop was decorated and it looked amazing.
12:43What's... what's happening?
12:45Your wedding ceremony.
12:46Duh.
12:47It's your birthday, dummy.
12:48Um, wow.
12:50Thanks.
12:51Don't thank me.
12:52Thank your sister.
12:53She was the one who said she needed to keep a promise she made to you.
12:56This was her plan.
12:57She did everything.
12:58I just supported her like the good boyfriend I am.
13:01What?
13:01Natasha and Damon were a thing now?
13:04Wow.
13:05A lot had happened back home.
13:06Damon told me how happy Natasha made him.
13:09And seeing how radiant and confident she looked, I could tell he made her feel the same way.
13:14Happy birthday, Ariel.
13:16How are you doing?
13:18I guess fine.
13:19I got admission in a community college and also got a job and... and I'm back on YouTube.
13:24Things look right.
13:26Um, I...
13:27You go first.
13:28I want to apologize for everything.
13:30Everything I ever said to you.
13:32I was just being stupid.
13:34Once you left, I finally realized how much I freaking love you and what you mean to me.
13:39I am so sorry.
13:40Can you forgive me?
13:41Can we go back to being the sisters we were?
13:44No matter how much we argue or try to keep our distance, you and I are family.
13:48Being sisters isn't something we can just choose.
13:51It's something we are.
13:52We're in this for life and I wouldn't have it any other way.
13:55I am so happy to be stuck with you.
13:58Me too.
