00:00Hey, I'm Iris from Atlanta, and I'm a triplet.
00:03Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:05While mom was pregnant, she was told by the doctor
00:07that she was having twins.
00:09But I popped out right after my brother,
00:11making three of us, Ileana, Isaac, and me.
00:14Dad wasn't around for most of our childhood.
00:16He was the assistant vice president
00:18at a huge music production company,
00:20and was always busy with some meeting or event.
00:22But mom showered us with love and attention.
00:26She would sing upbeat songs in the morning
00:28and hum soothing lullabies each night.
00:30Plus, she bought us whatever we wanted with dad's money.
00:33One of my earliest memories was when she gifted us
00:36with a karaoke machine as kids.
00:37The three of us sang all the time,
00:40and mom never got annoyed.
00:41Encore! Encore!
00:43Sometimes she would join in too.
00:45She had a great voice.
00:47By eight, my siblings and I were called the Turner Threes,
00:51and we had some serious musical talents.
00:53Ileana could sing just like mom.
00:55Isaac played great riffs on the guitar,
00:57and I rocked out on the drums.
00:59One day, the live band that was hired
01:01to play at our parents' anniversary party
01:03canceled at the last minute.
01:05Mom suggested we play, and we did.
01:07It was awesome!
01:08Soon, the Turner Threes were playing
01:10at all the family events.
01:11Things stayed pretty entertaining throughout middle school.
01:14But then, life took an unexpected turn
01:16during our freshman year of high school.
01:18One day, Ileana, Isaac, and I were relaxing by the pool
01:22when we heard a loud thud inside the house.
01:24We found mom unconscious on the floor.
01:26It turned out that she had a stroke
01:28and would need at least three months to recover.
01:31Then, dad lost his job shortly after.
01:33The company he worked for lost a massive
01:36copyright infringement lawsuit.
01:37Dad needed to find work soon to pay for mom's medical bills
01:40and keep the roof over our heads.
01:42He took up the first job he could find,
01:45freelancing as an agent for local musicians.
01:47One evening, dad invited a client over for a business meeting
01:51who overheard the three of us practicing our music.
01:53I heard him ask dad about the music coming from down the hall.
01:57My kids have a band thing just for family events.
01:59The client requested to hear more of our songs
02:02and suggested dad help us book bigger shows.
02:04They're pretty good.
02:05If you set up their career now,
02:07they'll have some real financial independence in the future.
02:10For the first time, dad took interest in our music
02:13and took his client's advice.
02:14And soon, we were playing at cafes, restaurants,
02:17and private events.
02:18We weren't making much, but it was a start.
02:20Dad didn't have the same positive attitude, though,
02:23especially as mom's recovery was taking a while.
02:26The bills were never-ending, and his savings were running low.
02:29He was always in a sour mood and fell into a deep depression.
02:33But despite her health issues, mom kept cheering us on.
02:36Keep playing.
02:37Keep sharing your talent.
02:38So we stayed consistent.
02:40Thankfully, by our junior year of high school,
02:42the Turner Threes got more popular.
02:45We had enough gigs to keep the house and help mom medically.
02:48But dad was so depressed that he stopped work altogether.
02:51He barely left his man cave.
02:53Halfway through the school year,
02:55extracurricular activities began taking up a lot of time.
02:58Ileana excelled in her studies and joined the AP Physics Club
03:02to get a head start on college credit.
03:04Isaac was naturally gifted at baseball and became co-captain.
03:07And I was one of the best actresses in the theater class.
03:11Oh, Peppy Dagger, this is thy sheath.
03:13It was getting harder trying to balance school, shows, and home finances.
03:17And it seemed like the Turner Threes differences were splitting us apart.
03:21I think you should sing at a higher pitch.
03:23Baseball puns?
03:24Seriously?
03:25I don't need advice from you.
03:26This band would be nothing without me.
03:28You're not that special, Ileana.
03:30I have mom's voice.
03:32What do you have?
03:33The arguments were getting ridiculous.
03:35Then one day, we got invited to a music competition.
03:38First place would get $10,000.
03:41I was over the moon, but Ileana...
03:43I have a test to study for, and I can't afford to mess up my 4.0 streak for some songs.
03:48Some songs?
03:49Our music has been keeping the bills paid.
03:51But Ileana was adamant.
03:53Isaac and I went to the competition anyway, and tried to make do with what we had.
03:57We were practicing in our room backstage and trying to sing together, but we just couldn't
04:02hit the right key.
04:03Just then, we heard a voice behind us.
04:05I could sing, if you want.
04:06I turned around, and a girl with a blue afro and a turtleneck was leaning against the door.
04:11And you are...
04:12Cat.
04:13Cat was apparently the only child of the venue owner.
04:16I never get to perform, but it sounds like you two could use some extra help.
04:20You can't just barge in here and join our band.
04:22Maybe she can help, Isaac.
04:23Why don't you sing something for us, Cat?
04:25Cat opened her mouth to sing, and the voice that came out was horrible.
04:30Is this girl serious?
04:31I couldn't believe such a hideous voice came from such a gorgeous girl.
04:35Let's just say, nails on a chalkboard sound better.
04:39We're on in 10 minutes, and this is what we've got?
04:42I need some air.
04:43Frantic, I left the room.
04:44The view from the balcony was relaxing.
04:46I remembered the melody mom hummed to us as kids, and started to sing along to it to
04:51calm down faster.
04:52Your voice is good.
04:53I turned around and saw Cat walking toward me.
04:56You know, you could just sing, and this entire problem could be fixed, right?
05:00And you don't need to sing with Isaac.
05:02He's holding you back, and I could play a simple beat on the drums.
05:05I promise.
05:06And better at drums than singing.
05:08I mean, I had trouble trusting her after her horrible audition.
05:13But maybe it was the only option we had right now.
05:16So we decided to follow Cat's plan.
05:18Isaac stayed on the guitar.
05:19Cat got on the drums, which she was surprisingly not bad at.
05:23And I stepped up in front of the mic.
05:25To her surprise, the crowd loved our performance.
05:28We got second place for the cash reward of $5,000, which was great.
05:32And we were invited back in three months for the next showcase.
05:36Later, on my way to our backstage room, I found Ileana waiting in the hall.
05:41I was so mad to see her there.
05:43You're bold to show up here, considering you were willing to let us fail.
05:46We're the Turner Twos now, Ileana.
05:48I wanted to make her feel bad.
05:50But what she said shocked me.
05:52Good.
05:52You've got that sorted out, because I'm leaving the band.
05:55Permanently.
05:56What?
05:56She explained she wanted to dedicate herself to her studies,
05:59and the band was taking too much of her time.
06:02This pays the bills.
06:03What about mom?
06:04A real job with a real degree also pays the bills.
06:08I need to focus on college so I can have a better future,
06:10and also take care of our parents.
06:12Both mom and dad didn't graduate from college, and look where they are now.
06:16That's not fair, Ileana.
06:17Mom is sick.
06:18Education won't stop you from getting sick.
06:21Plus, dad had a good job.
06:23Life happens.
06:24Well, I'd rather have my education to fall back on when accidents happen.
06:28Plus, education will give me the job I need
06:30to pay for medical expenses if I get sick.
06:33And with that, she stormed out.
06:35At the music showcase after-party, I found myself sitting alone outside.
06:39I hadn't even broken the bad news to Isaac yet.
06:41Soon after, Kat joined me, asking why I looked so worried.
06:45And I ended up spilling everything about our family problems and Ileana's selfishness.
06:50Sorry you're going through all that.
06:52Why don't you take your mind off of it for a bit and enjoy your win for a few hours?
06:55So we went back inside, and I was glad for the distraction.
06:59There were CEOs, music producers, and of course, super attractive celebrities.
07:04One woman came up to me and introduced herself as Risa.
07:07And then, she pulled out a contact card and shoved it into my hand.
07:11You've got some raw talent.
07:13The world needs to see it.
07:14Sounds like something my mom would say.
07:16Your mom sounds like a smart woman.
07:18Since there was no changing Ileana's mind, we recruited Kat as a permanent member of our band.
07:23With practice, she got better on the drums, and we quickly fell into sync.
07:27We continued participating in competitions Risa signed us up for and making money.
07:32And Kat and I grew super close.
07:34We painted each other's nails.
07:36I love this color.
07:37Shared clothes.
07:38Wow.
07:39Do you only wear turtlenecks?
07:41Did each other's hair?
07:42A high puff looks so good on you.
07:44And I love the middle part on you.
07:46Plus, Kat and mom hit it off.
07:48She even met dad one time and didn't judge how scruffy he looked or acted.
07:53But Ileana didn't like her at all.
07:55Anytime she saw Kat, she would glare at her from across the room and then go off in the
08:00opposite direction.
08:01I'd become so annoyed with Ileana that I tried to get Kat to help me prank her.
08:05I typed up a fake acceptance letter to a prestigious university and slipped it under her door.
08:10Kat didn't approve, but I did it anyway.
08:13Ileana was so excited when she saw the letter, it was comical.
08:17When I told her it was fake, her happy bubble popped.
08:20Honestly, it felt good seeing her get humbled, but Kat was clearly disappointed in me.
08:25We were hanging in the kitchen before practice one night, when Ileana walked in.
08:29Hey, how was it at the library?
08:30But Ileana just made her way to her room without even acknowledging Kat,
08:34and she kept behaving like that all the time.
08:37One day, Kat and I were keeping mom company at the hospital for her checkup,
08:40when Ileana randomly showed up.
08:42Oh, I didn't expect to see her here.
08:45Hey, Ileana.
08:46Of course, Ileana pushed past Kat and went straight to mom.
08:49It made things so awkward.
08:51Even the nurse looked uncomfortable.
08:53Mom, how are you doing?
08:54Honey, I think Kat said hi to you.
08:56Ileana looked Kat up and down, rolled her eyes, and continued talking to mom.
09:01I was so fed up with her, I couldn't take it anymore.
09:04What is wrong with you?
09:06Kat has helped his family stay afloat by joining the band, and that's how you treat her?
09:11I was so angry, I could feel my face burning.
09:13Calm down, Iris.
09:15Yeah, Iris.
09:16This isn't the time or place.
09:17Let's get to Mayor.
09:18What is this turtleneck-wearing weirdo even doing here?
09:21And I don't owe her anything.
09:23She didn't join the band to help our family.
09:25She just did it because she was some friendless loser.
09:28I lunged at Ileana, but the nurses came between us.
09:31Kat grabbed me by my arm quickly and dragged me out of the room.
09:34We went for a walk and then sat down on some swings so I could breathe.
09:38You're still fuming.
09:40She's just so rude.
09:41And since she's my sister, I'll yell back unapologetically.
09:45Kat stopped swinging and turned to me with a serious look.
09:48She lowered her turtleneck and held up a dainty necklace with a locket.
09:52This is my brother Austin.
09:54I thought you were an only child.
09:55Now I am.
09:56Austin got into a car accident with my mom when he was 10.
10:00Mom made it.
10:01He didn't.
10:01What?
10:02Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
10:04Why didn't you ever say anything?
10:05I don't like to talk about it because I feel guilty.
10:08Why?
10:08She explained how much she and her brother argued a lot growing up.
10:12They would fight over who would use the bathroom first,
10:14who would get the biggest slice of cake.
10:16Yeah, but that's normal sibling stuff.
10:18Before he left the house the morning of the accident,
10:21we got into a screaming fest over some video game.
10:24The last thing I said to him was that life would be better if he just didn't exist.
10:29Kat's eyes started watering.
10:30I felt horrible for everything she'd experienced, including the drama with me and Ileana.
10:36I've been so focused on being angry and making money,
10:39I've let it ruin my relationship with Ileana.
10:41The good thing is that you realized arguments aren't always worth it.
10:45A few weeks passed, and Mom was recovering well at home.
10:48I also asked Risa to help find Dad a job, and she actually got him an interview.
10:53Things were looking up, but even though I made an effort to stop arguing with Ileana,
10:57we still weren't talking.
10:59One evening, Kat, Isaac, and I were heading to a gig when Ileana got home.
11:04She walked past us silently, but I told Kat and Isaac to go sit in the car, and I followed her.
11:09Wait, can we talk, please, like normal people? I-I miss you.
11:12Ileana turned around. Tears were streaming down her face.
11:16I miss you too, Iris.
11:17If singing isn't your passion anymore, it's totally okay.
11:21It was wrong of me to be mad at you for that, and I'm sorry.
11:24I'm sorry too.
11:25I was overwhelmed with school, and then I got really jealous of Kat.
11:29Yeah, I don't want to do music anymore, but I felt like I got replaced really quickly.
11:34You're my sister. No one can come in the middle of that.
11:37Now, how about you drop studying for one night and come see us perform?
11:40I'd love that.
11:53There you go.
12:04Stay within!
12:05I love you too.
12:09All right.
