00:00Hi, my name is Alice, and I'm from Rochester, New York.
00:03Please like and subscribe.
00:04You know how people say that when you meet the love of your life,
00:07time stands still and your heart skips a beat?
00:09Well, my dad had his own version of it.
00:12Love feels like a bunch of fireworks exploding inside your heart.
00:16That sounds dangerous.
00:17Oh, honey, it's the most beautiful feeling in the world.
00:20Dad always tells me about when he met Mom.
00:23He was playing on the subway, and when she stepped in,
00:25he felt fireworks go off inside of him, and that was it.
00:28My life changed forever.
00:30Our life changed forever.
00:32My mom was a big-shot lawyer, and my dad worked as a music teacher at my own school.
00:36I inherited my dad's love for music, but wasn't into singing,
00:40so I used Mom's lawyer skills on them and convinced them to buy me a drum kit.
00:44My life was simply wonderful, but everything changed when I was 12.
00:48Mom got stuck on one big case and was working crazy hours,
00:52so there was no time for anything else, not even for me.
00:55For months, I kept bugging her to notice me,
00:57but the answer was always the same.
00:59Not now.
01:00I can't, Alice.
01:01Of course.
01:02This also led to fights between my parents.
01:05They used to argue in the kitchen at night when they thought I was asleep.
01:08Finally, one night, she just left.
01:10There were no explanations, no clues, no goodbye letter, nothing.
01:14It was a rough time, but my dad and I always stayed together.
01:17As time went by, we both started feeling a little bit better.
01:20Despite everything, I never stopped believing in true love,
01:23and I eagerly awaited the sensation my father had described so many times.
01:27When I turned 16, I witnessed the fireworks of love up close.
01:32I was at home cooking an egg when these bratty kids kept ringing our doorbell and running away.
01:37My blood was boiling, so I decided to teach them a lesson at the next bell.
01:41I flung open the door and spattered the egg right onto them.
01:45To my surprise, it was Luke, one of my dad's guitar students.
01:49He was one of the most popular, truly dreamy, funny, and kind guy in our school.
01:54Oh, no.
01:55Uh, this egg.
01:56Lucky you.
01:57You just won a tuition discount from Dad.
01:59I quickly made this up, but he kept staring at me in complete awe.
02:03Then it happened.
02:04It struck him like lightning, just like my dad described.
02:07The whole fireworks and electricity package.
02:10Hi, Alice. I love you.
02:12But here's the twist. I didn't feel the same way.
02:14However, from that moment on, Luke embarked on a mission to win my heart,
02:19while I tried to refuse his advances without hurting him.
02:22Flowers for you. Be-ute.
02:24Bees. It has bees.
02:25I baked brownies for you.
02:26Ah, thanks, but I prefer vegetables.
02:29He invited me to the amusement park,
02:31but I pretended to be dizzy when he was going to kiss me on the Ferris wheel.
02:34And then he also asked my father for my hand.
02:37So, what do you think?
02:38Tell him that he has to provide four sheep, five cows, and one unicorn in exchange.
02:42Yet Luke never gave up.
02:44And finally, he went all in.
02:46He performed for me on my balcony,
02:48singing the very same song my dad used to woo my mom back in the day.
02:51And I swear I could see Dad helping him the whole time.
02:54Then he asked the big question.
02:57Do you want to be my girlfriend?
02:58Luke, I like you, but...
03:00I'll take that.
03:00I...
03:01It's a love story, baby.
03:02Just say yes.
03:04I know what you might be thinking.
03:05How could you not love Luke back?
03:07He sounds like the perfect guy.
03:09And you'd be right.
03:10He was everything I could have wished for, and more.
03:12He even quoted Taylor Swift for me.
03:14I decided I should give him a chance.
03:16Maybe the fireworks would appear slowly for me.
03:19Okay, let's do it.
03:20After a few months, things were going great.
03:22He was a great boyfriend, and I cared for him.
03:24One day, as we hiked up a hill, my foot clumsily met a cluster of rocks.
03:29I was about to fall when Luke grabbed my hand and held me.
03:32Are you all right?
03:32I nodded.
03:33The sunlight hit him just right, and he looked just beautiful.
03:36He leaned in, and he rewarded my safety with a kiss.
03:40It was a scene right out of a movie.
03:41Come on, guys.
03:42You see?
03:43I tried, but I just couldn't help feeling nothing.
03:46By the time we reached the top of the hill, I decided to end things.
03:49Luke deserved someone who could truly love him.
03:52After a brief pause, I managed to muster the strength to share my feelings.
03:56However, as I looked at him, tears were welling up in his eyes.
03:59Alice, there's something I have to tell you.
04:02Yes, Luke?
04:03I'm thrilled that we're together.
04:04I've been looking for the perfect partner for what feels like forever.
04:07Tears began to fall down his cheeks, and I hugged Luke tightly.
04:11How could I break his heart after that?
04:13I just couldn't.
04:14I needed a new plan, a way to end things without hurting him.
04:17Just then, I got an idea.
04:19I needed to find my boyfriend a new girlfriend.
04:21Yet, it was easier said than done.
04:24Finding the perfect girl for Luke was certainly a tough mission.
04:28I introduced him to Sarah in a bowling alley, but it turned out she was only interested in
04:31using Luke to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.
04:33On trivia night, Claire and Luke had a heated argument about the best pizza toppings.
04:38They didn't get along after that.
04:39Lastly, how can I forget about Julie?
04:42When I introduced her to Luke at a party, it was pretty clear that she was more interested
04:46in me than in him, much to Luke's amusement.
04:49Of course, he knew nothing of my plan.
04:51I introduced so many girls to him, pretending they were my friends, but none of them sparked
04:56even the slightest explosion.
04:58Luke only seemed to have eyes for me.
05:00Darn him!
05:01After a few weeks of failures, I was about to give up hope.
05:03But then, right in my dad's class, the solution seemed to fall from the sky.
05:08Almost literally.
05:09Boys and girls, we have a new exchange student from South Korea.
05:12This is Moon.
05:13That new girl seemed quiet, but she was a total stunner.
05:16We have a little welcome tradition here.
05:18You've got to sing us your favorite song while standing upside down.
05:22What?
05:22You could actually see Moon's soul leaving her body.
05:26Ha ha, kidding.
05:27But come on, it'll be a blast.
05:28So, which song are we going with?
05:29For a brief moment, Moon seemed to be torn between making a mad dash for the exit, pretending
05:34to faint, or fighting my dad to ignore his request.
05:37Love Story by Taylor Swift.
05:38Bingo!
05:39That was the girl who was going to sweep my boyfriend off his feet.
05:42I couldn't have been more thrilled.
05:44Above all, she had a beautiful voice.
05:47She was perfect for Luke.
05:48As soon as the class ended, I walked up to Moon.
05:50Hi, I'm Alice.
05:52That was amazing.
05:53I just hope I don't have to do that to introduce myself in math class.
05:57Ha ha, don't worry about it.
05:58The gym teacher might make you do some push-ups in front of the whole school, but apart from
06:02that, well, that's it.
06:03I'm going back to South Korea.
06:04She even had a great sense of humor.
06:07By the way, the music teacher who just made you sing in front of everyone is my dad.
06:11But don't hold that against me.
06:12I won't.
06:13He seems cool.
06:14He is, in his own unique way.
06:16Surprisingly, considering that if my plan worked, Moon would steal my boyfriend from
06:20me, the two of us immediately hit it off.
06:23I was happy to make a new friend.
06:24But the most important thing was that I had an inkling right from the start that she and
06:29Luke were a match made in heaven.
06:31I had to rush to my plan.
06:32By the way, I'm in a band.
06:33Ever considered becoming a rock star?
06:35A rock star?
06:36Sure.
06:37But only if we get to wear sunglasses indoors.
06:39Of course.
06:40You can't make great music if you don't look cool.
06:43With my master plan in motion, I organized a rehearsal in my garage for that same night.
06:47As usual, Luke and I began a friendly battle over which song to play next.
06:51But just as the tension was mounting, Moon made her grand entrance.
06:55Hi there.
06:56When Luke turned to meet her gaze, something magical unfolded between them.
07:00Their fireworks were so intense that, for a moment, I thought the neighbors were bombing
07:05my house.
07:06Hi.
07:06How?
07:07I'm Alice's Luke.
07:09Nice to meet you, Alice Luke.
07:12I'm Moon.
07:12That's a beautiful name.
07:14Moon turned red as a tomato.
07:16I mean, it's cute.
07:17I mean, it's not a horrible name.
07:20They were so awkward and cute that they looked like two penguins trying to dance.
07:25The first part of my plan was complete.
07:27Over the next few weeks, I did everything to bring my new friend and boyfriend even closer.
07:32I planned this adorable picnic for the three of us, but then I faked a stomach pain, so
07:36they both got time together.
07:37Alice, are you okay?
07:38Oh, no.
07:39Not again.
07:40What's wrong, Alice?
07:42It's my, uh, pitnotitis.
07:44Okay, let's go see the doctor.
07:45Clearly, my plan failed.
07:47Next time, I took them to the movies to watch an old, sappy, romantic film.
07:51Where's Alice?
07:52She told me she wasn't coming because she hates Sandra Bullock.
07:54She hates Sandy B?
07:56Is that even possible?
07:57Right?
07:58I said exactly the same thing.
07:59They watched the movie together.
08:01All the while, I was lurking secretly in the background.
08:04In a particularly romantic scene, their shoulders leaned against each other.
08:07They locked eyes, and their lips came closer.
08:10It seemed that it was the moment, but...
08:12Want some more popcorn?
08:13Yeah, sure.
08:14So close.
08:15By the way, I, of course, don't hate Sandra Bullock.
08:18Slowly, I was running out of ideas and excuses.
08:20I even signed us up for a romantic bread baking class, only to remember right beforehand that
08:25I was gluten intolerant.
08:27Silly me.
08:28Since when?
08:28It's very recent.
08:29I don't want to talk about it.
08:30We can make gluten-free bread.
08:32It's not the same.
08:33Go on without me.
08:34Tragically, I had to keep up that lie and not eat a sandwich in front of them for way too
08:39long.
08:39Oh, the lengths I went to.
08:41But despite all my efforts, nothing was happening.
08:45They clearly had feelings for each other, but neither was making the first move.
08:48I was determined to give it one final shot, so I orchestrated an irresistibly romantic
08:53date at Rochester High Falls, Luke's cherished spot.
08:57I prepared the scene, and it looked spectacular.
09:00I stood there, admiring my masterpiece.
09:03This must have been how Billie Eilish felt when she composed Bad Guy.
09:06My plan wasn't complete without the final touch.
09:09Two mysterious and alluring letters, one for Luke and one for Moon.
09:13That evening, they both arrived thinking the other had organized the date.
09:17I should have respected their privacy and left, but I sneaked a peek at the date and sat in
09:21a nearby grove with popcorn and soda.
09:23It seemed like they were still too shy to make the big move.
09:26Just as I was about to fall asleep, Moon slowly moved nearer to Luke's lips.
09:31The excitement was so intense that I could feel it moving through my body, particularly
09:36in my ankle.
09:37In my ankle?
09:38I looked at my leg and saw a raccoon clinging to my ankle.
09:41Freaked out?
09:42I totally lost it.
09:44I sprang from the bushes just in time to disrupt their big moment.
09:47Alice, what are you doing here?
09:49Oh, hi!
09:50Just taking a walk?
09:52Around the falls?
09:53Alone?
09:53At night?
09:54Well, you know what they say.
09:56When nature calls...
09:57Don't judge me.
09:58That's the best I could come up with.
09:59Alice, this isn't what it seems.
10:01We were just...
10:02Their embarrassment and guilt were clear.
10:04I'm sorry.
10:05They clearly felt terrible, and I felt even worse.
10:09It was entirely my fault.
10:10It was time to tell the truth.
10:12You don't have to feel guilty.
10:13I orchestrated the entire thing.
10:15What?
10:16You?
10:16Yeah, I couldn't help but notice the magic connection between you two.
10:20This is my strange way of giving you my wholehearted blessing.
10:24Well, at least I told them part of the truth.
10:26For a brief moment, Luke and Moon exchanged puzzled glances,
10:29and Luke turned to give me an earful.
10:32However, after what felt like an eternity,
10:34they both enveloped me in a hug simultaneously.
10:37Alice, I can't believe you'd do something like this.
10:39You could have just spoken to me.
10:42And I'm sorry.
10:43I tried to fight these feelings.
10:45No need to apologize.
10:46The heart wants what the heart wants.
10:48Are you sure you're okay with this?
10:50Absolutely.
10:51You two are meant for each other.
10:52I'll step aside and let you enjoy the rest of your date.
10:55I walked away swiftly.
10:56But before I got too far,
10:58I turned back to see them finally sharing their first kiss.
11:01Well, you could have at least waited for me to leave.
11:03Just kidding.
11:04Carry on.
11:05This may appear like the happily ever after ending, doesn't it?
11:08But believe me,
11:08there are still some more fireworks to discover.
11:11My grand plan had succeeded.
11:13Moon was perfect for Luke,
11:15and they were really happy.
11:16However, sometime later,
11:18I started to feel increasingly sad.
11:20While I was genuinely thrilled for them,
11:22a feeling of loneliness began to take over me.
11:25Eventually, I decided to share with my dad my deepest fear.
11:28Dad, what if I never experienced those fireworks?
11:31Alice, just like music,
11:33love has its own tempo.
11:35It won't come if you're expecting it.
11:36But trust me,
11:37sooner or later,
11:38your moment will come.
11:39But what if I end up with a broken heart,
11:41like you when Mom left us?
11:43That can happen.
11:44Love is not perfect.
11:46But believe me,
11:47it's still worth it.
11:48After that,
11:49I decided to give the whole love thing a rest.
11:52I just focused on school,
11:53my friends,
11:54and of course, music.
11:55For several months,
11:56everything went smoothly.
11:58Surprisingly,
11:59my dad was right about love.
12:00My moment was bound to come
12:01just when I least expected it.
12:03Boys and girls,
12:04we have a new exchange student.
12:05This time,
12:06from Italy.
12:06This is Camilo.
12:08And that was it.
12:09Boom, boom, boom.
12:10Just like my dad had predicted,
12:12my moment to feel the fireworks had arrived.
12:15And it came on strong
12:16when Camilo strolled into the classroom.
12:19I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
12:21And to be fair,
12:22no one else in the class could either.
12:23He was so irresistible,
12:25incredibly handsome,
12:26cool,
12:27stylishly dressed,
12:28and smart.
12:28My dad tried to get him to sing a song
12:30to introduce himself,
12:31but Camilo instead recited a poem in Italian.
12:34I didn't understand anything.
12:35I was too captivated by him.
12:37Ah, right.
12:38It's a very lovely and romantic poem.
12:40Not really.
12:41It's about what hell is like.
12:42Marry me.
12:43I knew I had to beat out tons of other girls
12:45to win his heart,
12:46but if there was one thing
12:47I was truly confident about,
12:49it was my matchmaking skills.
12:50Game on.
12:51During lunch,
12:52I went up to him.
12:53He was sitting by himself
12:54with all the girls
12:55gazing at him from afar,
12:57too mesmerized to strike up a conversation.
12:59But I wasn't like the other girls.
13:01Hi there.
13:01What's cooking, good looking?
13:02Not my best pickup line,
13:04I know.
13:04Hi, you.
13:06Alice.
13:06Oh, right, Alicia.
13:08Already my name,
13:09or a variation of it?
13:11Coming out of his mouth
13:12made me shiver.
13:13What are you reading?
13:14Robert Frost.
13:15Oh, he's the one
13:16who invented frosting?
13:17Because if so,
13:18I want to congratulate him.
13:20No, he was one of America's
13:21most renowned poets.
13:22I felt like my confidence
13:23had crumbled
13:24like a house of cards.
13:25I guess I'm more of a
13:26take-out menu reader.
13:28Camilo shot me this weird smile
13:30and went back to his book.
13:32I left feeling defeated
13:33and humiliated,
13:34all while the surrounding girls
13:36erupted into laughter.
13:37Still,
13:38I wasn't going to give up so easily.
13:40You guys know
13:40I can be very stubborn.
13:42Over the next few days,
13:43I did everything I could
13:44to get Camilo's attention
13:45and interest.
13:46So,
13:47you're a photographer.
13:48Yeah.
13:48Me too.
13:49I love selfies.
13:50And when I thought
13:51I couldn't get any lower,
13:53Camilo,
13:53I wrote you a poem.
13:54Oh, okay.
13:55Twinkle, twinkle,
13:56in your eyes,
13:57like the stars
13:58in moonlit skies,
13:59in your arms,
14:00I feel so right,
14:01like a star
14:02that's shining bright.
14:03He rested his hand
14:04on my shoulder
14:05with second-hand embarrassment.
14:07That was very sweet.
14:08What was I thinking?
14:10Are we going or not?
14:11The most stunning
14:12gothic girl
14:13was walking towards Camilo.
14:14Sure thing, Bella.
14:15They just walked away
14:16while my hope
14:17lay shattered on the floor.
14:19After the humiliation
14:20of a lifetime,
14:21I crawled home
14:22and locked myself
14:23in my own room
14:24for days.
14:25Is this karma
14:25for not loving Luke back?
14:27Unwelcome love
14:28is horrible.
14:29Why didn't anyone tell me?
14:30I decided
14:31to never leave my room again,
14:33but Luke and Moon
14:34swooped in
14:35to save the day.
14:36Alice,
14:36what are you doing?
14:37We were worried about you.
14:38You haven't been to school
14:39for days.
14:40And I'm not going back.
14:41I'm officially a hermit now.
14:43Come on, Alice.
14:44You can't give up so easily.
14:46What else can I do?
14:47He's too cool
14:48and smart for me.
14:49And he clearly
14:50has a thing
14:50for goth girls.
14:51Well, maybe that can be arranged.
14:53Moon showed me the flyer
14:54for a costume party
14:55happening the next day
14:57at school.
14:57Maybe this wasn't
14:58quite over yet.
14:59The following day,
15:00I visited Moon's house
15:01for the first time
15:02for a unique makeover session.
15:04She was determined
15:05to transform me.
15:06And after an intense
15:07half hour of makeup
15:08and dressing,
15:09I emerged
15:10as a whole new person.
15:12Camilla,
15:12we'll be head over heels
15:14for you.
15:14After a while,
15:15I headed downstairs
15:16to her kitchen
15:17to grab a glass of water.
15:18Moon's house was massive
15:19and a bit eerie.
15:21With dim lighting
15:22and an unsettling silence,
15:24as I turned the corner,
15:25I bumped into
15:25a tall, mysterious guy.
15:27I let out a scream
15:28of surprise.
15:29For you!
15:30I'm Alice,
15:30Moon's friend.
15:31I glared at him.
15:32He was wearing a suit
15:33like a gangster
15:34from a lousy movie.
15:35I'm Quan,
15:36Moon's big brother.
15:37Oh, right.
15:38Why are you dressed like that?
15:39We're going
15:39to a costume party.
15:40A costume party?
15:41So childish.
15:43You're like
15:43just a year older than us.
15:44Besides,
15:45you look like
15:46you're dressed up too.
15:46Whatever.
15:47Just watch
15:47where you're going, kid.
15:48Kid?
15:49Ugh.
15:49Just then,
15:50Moon showed up,
15:51probably after hearing
15:52my screams.
15:53When I turned to face him,
15:54Quan had already disappeared
15:55down the dark hall.
15:56What?
15:56Why are you smiling?
15:57You know,
15:58your brother is a real
15:59piece of work.
16:00Uh-huh.
16:01Moon acted weird.
16:02I think that runs
16:03in their family.
16:04Shortly after,
16:05we left for their party.
16:06Luke,
16:06dressed as a mad scientist,
16:08welcomed us.
16:08Alice,
16:09you look like
16:09you just stepped right
16:10out of a dark
16:11and mysterious fairy tale.
16:12Great job, baby.
16:13Thanks, baby.
16:14Alice,
16:14Camillo's there.
16:15Go do your thing, girl.
16:17Thank you, guys.
16:17I took a deep breath
16:18and walked towards Camillo,
16:20who was dancing
16:20with his friend.
16:21Of course,
16:22he was too cool
16:23to wear a costume.
16:24With a boost of confidence
16:25from my outfit,
16:25I saluted them.
16:26Hello,
16:27my fellow creatures
16:28of the night.
16:29Alice,
16:29what are you wearing?
16:30Tonight,
16:31I embrace the shadows.
16:32I'm a goth.
16:33Being a goth
16:34is not a costume,
16:35you phony.
16:36It's a lifestyle.
16:37I'm sorry,
16:37I didn't mean
16:38of course you didn't.
16:39You are just
16:40a little suburban princess
16:41who gets whatever she wants,
16:43playing dress up,
16:44and the way Camillo
16:45looked at me,
16:46that hurt more than
16:47any malicious comment.
16:48Once again,
16:49I was humiliated.
16:51For the rest of the party,
16:52I hid in the halls
16:52of the school.
16:53How could I be so stupid?
16:55Should I respond?
16:56I looked up
16:56and saw Kwan.
16:57What are you even doing here?
16:59I thought you were too fierce
17:00for a costume party.
17:01I am.
17:02I'm just here to pick up Moon.
17:03I just got her text.
17:04She already left with Luke.
17:05Oh, okay.
17:07Kwan leaned his back
17:07against the lockers.
17:08Rough night?
17:09That's an understatement.
17:10So,
17:10do you want me to take you home
17:12or would you rather stay here crying?
17:14What?
17:14These are not tears.
17:15Don't try to tell me
17:16you got something in your eye.
17:17Come on, let's go.
17:18I was shocked.
17:18He was rude.
17:19Definitely.
17:20But not that bad.
17:21Kwan held out his hand
17:22for me to stand up.
17:23As I was getting up,
17:24our eyes met.
17:25Time stood still.
17:26Electricity.
17:27And, yeah,
17:28it happened again.
17:29Boom.
17:29Boom.
17:30Boom.
17:30Boom.
17:30I, I, I...
17:32What?
17:32Did you hit your head or something?
17:33No, it's just that,
17:34I don't know.
17:35Forget about it.
17:36I'm fine.
17:36If you say so.
17:37As Kwan drove me home,
17:39I kept looking at him
17:40out of the corner of my eye
17:41the whole trip.
17:42I was spellbound.
17:43I tried to strike up
17:44a conversation with Kwan,
17:45but he didn't pay
17:46much attention to me.
17:47So,
17:48tell me about yourself.
17:49Pass.
17:49Come on.
17:50What do you like?
17:51Silence.
17:51Clearly,
17:52Kwan was not very interested
17:53in getting to know me.
17:55Soon after,
17:55he dropped me home.
17:56I couldn't believe it.
17:57After years of dreaming
17:59about those fireworks feelings,
18:00I finally got them.
18:01Twice in one week.
18:02Plot twist?
18:03Both guys are just
18:04not that into me.
18:05This was obviously karma.
18:07It was Cupid's way
18:08of getting back at me.
18:09Destiny laughing in my face.
18:10Or maybe it was just
18:12my teenage hormones.
18:13I hate my life.
18:14But what I didn't know
18:15was that Moon hadn't left
18:17the party when Kwan arrived.
18:18In fact,
18:19she was in the bathroom
18:20and saw and heard
18:21my entire conversation
18:22with her brother.
18:23Although Kwan didn't notice
18:24my fireworks explosion,
18:26Moon did
18:27and decided it was her turn
18:28to play Cupid.
18:29Moon started finding excuses
18:30and forcing situations
18:32for Kwan and me
18:33to spend time together.
18:34She would invite me
18:35to her house,
18:35but when I arrived,
18:36she wasn't there.
18:37Is Moon home?
18:38For the fourth time
18:39this week,
18:40she's not.
18:40Despite how Kwan
18:41acted like he didn't care,
18:42Moon was determined
18:43to make it happen.
18:44She even locked us
18:46in an escape room.
18:47I guess we're gonna have
18:47to solve this to get out.
18:49This could take a while.
18:50The key is under
18:51that armchair.
18:52Oh, right.
18:53Then,
18:53Moon planned a movie date
18:55with Kwan and me
18:55and then left us.
18:57Yeah,
18:57she used my own
18:58little scheme against me.
18:59We got into
19:00the wrong screening room
19:01and ended up watching
19:02a children's movie.
19:03This is so boring.
19:05Wait,
19:05are you crying?
19:06No,
19:07I'm not.
19:07You're crying.
19:08OMG,
19:09you are.
19:10Shut up.
19:10It's just a beautiful
19:11tale of friendship
19:12between a duck
19:13and a shark.
19:13After that,
19:14he started talking to me
19:15and slowly,
19:16I understood that
19:17his whole bad boy facade
19:18was simply a shield
19:19Kwan put up
19:20when he moved here
19:21to cope with this
19:21unknown and new place.
19:23He actually could be
19:24really kind and sweet.
19:26One day,
19:26Moon set up a sort of
19:27double date
19:28with me and Luke
19:29and dragged Kwan
19:30quite literally
19:31into a bowling alley.
19:32The evening turned out
19:33to be an absolute blast.
19:35We enjoyed some good food,
19:36sent those bowling pins
19:37flying,
19:38and shared laughs
19:39like there was no tomorrow.
19:41Kwan even dropped
19:41his tough guy persona
19:43and had an amazing time.
19:44I felt that slowly,
19:46we two were growing closer.
19:47Great strike, Alice.
19:49Thanks.
19:49I learned from the best.
19:50I didn't know
19:51I was the best.
19:52Who says I was
19:52talking about you?
19:53The only problem was
19:54that Luke found out
19:55what Moon was doing
19:56and he wasn't too happy
19:57about it
19:58and cornered me.
19:59Alice,
20:00Kwan's not right for you.
20:01He once told me,
20:02if you hurt my sister,
20:03I'll turn your hair pink.
20:05And he walks around
20:06in sunglasses
20:06indoors too.
20:08And don't even get me started
20:09on his weird spoons collection.
20:11Did you see
20:11the massive plastic
20:13to fancy spoons
20:14display in his room?
20:15I'm just worried
20:16you'll end up hurt.
20:17But I wasn't very convinced
20:19and then the next day,
20:20as we were preparing
20:21for our band rehearsal,
20:22Luke arrived
20:23with a surprise visitor.
20:24Camillo came to rehearsal,
20:25if you girls don't mind.
20:27If looks could kill,
20:28Luke would be dead now.
20:29That's why you said
20:30not to bring Kwan.
20:31We'll talk later, baby.
20:33I tell you, man,
20:34we have the best drummer
20:35in town.
20:36So,
20:37he has decided
20:38to play matchmaker too.
20:39Go on then.
20:40During our practice,
20:41I was super nervous,
20:42way more than usual.
20:44But then Camillo
20:44did some really nice things
20:46that made me feel
20:47a lot better.
20:48I think I did pretty good
20:49in the end.
20:49That was great, Alice.
20:50I didn't know
20:51you were so talented.
20:52Thanks.
20:52That made me melt,
20:54literally.
20:54Right there on the spot.
20:55For the next few weeks,
20:57I was caught in a love triangle
20:58with Kwan and Camillo
20:59and tangled in a dispute
21:01between friends.
21:02I felt bad,
21:03but chose to go with the flow,
21:04hoping to solve
21:05the puzzle of my heart.
21:06But things turned into
21:07some kind of competition
21:09between them.
21:09And in order to win,
21:11they went big.
21:12Luke orchestrated
21:13a fantastic carnival date
21:14for Camillo and me.
21:16Amidst the chaos,
21:17we laughed,
21:17won games,
21:18and feasted on cotton candy.
21:20I even want him
21:20a huge stuffed animal.
21:22Thanks.
21:23Elephants are my favorite animal.
21:24I'm more of a grizzly bear girl,
21:26but elephants are pretty cool.
21:27Then, Camillo and I
21:28rode on an intense roller coaster
21:30in an odd moment of calm.
21:32Before the car sped off again,
21:33Camillo pulled out his camera
21:34and took a picture of me.
21:36What are you doing?
21:37I want to capture
21:37this moment forever.
21:38That was one of the most
21:40magical and romantic
21:41nights of my life.
21:42For her part,
21:43Moon convinced Kwan
21:44to take me to his favorite spot,
21:46a haven he had never
21:47taken anyone to before.
21:48It was a dark
21:49and murky place.
21:50Kwan led the way,
21:52nodding to some guys.
21:53All eyes were on me,
21:54so I tried my hardest
21:55to copy his attitude.
21:56Needless to say,
21:57I failed.
21:58Kwan,
21:59we are too young
22:00to be here.
22:00Relax,
22:01what is life
22:02without a little risk?
22:03Right,
22:03but maybe this is
22:04a little too dangerous.
22:06Okay,
22:07I admit it,
22:07I was scared,
22:08but you would be too
22:09if you saw those people there.
22:10It looked like the whole cast
22:11of Pirates of the Caribbean.
22:13Don't worry, Alice,
22:14I know the owner
22:14and most of the guys.
22:15They are cool.
22:16Kwan took my hand,
22:17and not only did I feel safer,
22:19but I was also ecstatic.
22:21The rest of the night
22:22turned out to be
22:22surprisingly amazing.
22:24Everybody was fun
22:25and welcoming.
22:26Kwan revealed
22:27his secret technique
22:28to cheat in poker,
22:29and the energetic punk band
22:30put on a spectacular show.
22:32Hours later,
22:33we watched the sunrise
22:34on the hood of his car
22:35at the highest point
22:36of the city.
22:37Hey, okay,
22:37I hear you all yelling,
22:39pick a lane, girl.
22:40But come on,
22:41deciding between Camilo
22:42and Kwan
22:43is like choosing between
22:44chocolate and vanilla
22:45when you love both.
22:46It's driving me nuts, too.
22:48It was impossible.
22:49But Camilo wrote
22:50and recited to me
22:50in an open reading
22:51the most beautiful poem
22:53I had ever heard.
22:54But then,
22:55Kwan got us the chance
22:55to play our first gig
22:57in the same place
22:58he took me.
22:59Clueless of what to do,
23:00I turned to the greatest
23:01source of wisdom I knew,
23:03my dad.
23:03Okay, yes,
23:04I was truly desperate.
23:06Dad,
23:06is it possible
23:07to be in love
23:08with two people
23:08at the same time?
23:09My dad took a deep breath
23:11before answering.
23:12Alice,
23:12time has taught me
23:13not to put any limits
23:14on love.
23:15Love can be many
23:15different things.
23:16It constantly mutates,
23:18so maybe it is possible.
23:19And what should I do?
23:21I can't date two people
23:22at the same time.
23:23No,
23:23you have to be mature
23:24and thoughtful.
23:25Take care of your feelings,
23:26but also those of others.
23:27But I don't know
23:28how to decide this.
23:29If you are stuck
23:30in this situation,
23:31you might not be ready
23:32for love.
23:33Maybe the best thing
23:33to do now
23:34is to focus on yourself.
23:35And it wasn't
23:37very helpful.
23:38Maybe my dad
23:38wasn't the fountain
23:39of wisdom
23:40I thought he was.
23:40Before you guys
23:41go off in the comments,
23:42I know this is like
23:43the best kind of problem
23:44any girl my age
23:46could have.
23:46For days,
23:47I ignored both
23:48Camilo and Kwan.
23:49But finally,
23:50the day of the concert
23:51arrived.
23:51Surprisingly,
23:52I was pretty calm.
23:53Well,
23:54that was until I saw
23:55both Kwan and Camilo
23:56in the audience.
23:57At that moment,
23:58all my fears surfaced
23:59and I completely panicked.
24:01I couldn't face it
24:02and locked myself
24:03in the dressing room's bathroom.
24:04Alice,
24:04what are you doing?
24:05We have to go on stage
24:06in five minutes.
24:07I can't do it.
24:08This is all too much pressure.
24:10After failing to convince me
24:11to go out,
24:12Moon and Luke
24:12took it out on each other.
24:14Why did you invite Camilo?
24:15This was Kwan's moment.
24:16He got us the gig.
24:17And Camilo can't be here.
24:19He's really supportive
24:20of the band too.
24:21Why are you doing this?
24:22What do you have
24:23against my brother?
24:24He thinks he's a
24:25Yakuza
24:25or something like that.
24:27And my brother
24:28is a great guy.
24:29But he's not good enough
24:30for Alice.
24:31And Camilo is.
24:32He's so pretentious.
24:33I was listening to their fight
24:35behind the bathroom door.
24:36It was like I had traveled
24:37back in time
24:38and they were my parents.
24:39I had to put an end
24:40to all this chaos.
24:41I gathered my strength
24:42and opened the door.
24:43Stop!
24:44This ends now.
24:45You can't be fighting
24:46over my love life.
24:47That doesn't make any sense.
24:49But no buts.
24:50We were just trying
24:50to help you
24:51like you helped us.
24:52I know.
24:53But it just doesn't feel right.
24:55I was wrong.
24:56Love should be
24:56spontaneous and free.
24:58Not something we try
24:59to control and mold
25:00to fit our convenience.
25:01It's my life
25:02and I can make my choices.
25:04You're right.
25:05We're sorry.
25:06I'm sorry, Mooney Tooney.
25:07I am too,
25:08Lukey Doofy.
25:09That's really sweet.
25:10But for now,
25:11enough with the cheesy stuff.
25:12We've got a show to give.
25:13The room was silent
25:14and expectant
25:15when we got on stage.
25:16The air was tense,
25:17but we were ready.
25:18Hello.
25:19We are Cupid
25:20and his broken arrows.
25:21Are you ready to rock?
25:23Let's do this.
25:24One, two, three, four.
25:26The show was incredible.
25:28To be up on stage
25:29playing our music
25:30was a life-changing moment.
25:32There, I felt everything.
25:34Electricity,
25:34adrenaline,
25:35nervousness,
25:36and fireworks.
25:37And I can proudly say
25:39that it was the first
25:40of many shows.
25:41As for the guys,
25:42I decided to follow
25:43the advice of my father
25:44who, as always,
25:46was right.
25:46I wasn't ready for love
25:48and I didn't want
25:48to risk hurting them.
25:49I took them aside
25:50individually
25:51and told them the truth.
25:52Luckily,
25:53they both understood.
25:54Or at least
25:55I think they did.
25:56I decided that
25:56I should focus
25:57on my first love,
25:59music.
25:59And that would pay off
26:00big time.
26:02Cupid!
26:02Cupid!
26:03Cupid!
26:04Ladies and gentlemen,
26:06are you ready?
26:08Well,
26:09it's a good thing
26:10you are
26:10because this is
26:11Cupid and his
26:13broken arrows!
26:15Oh,
26:16hi guys.
26:16Yeah,
26:17as you can see,
26:18a lot has happened
26:19since the last time
26:19we chatted.
26:20Where were we?
26:21Oh yes,
26:21after our first show
26:22at that shabby place,
26:24Luke,
26:24Moon,
26:24and I promised
26:25to do everything
26:26we could to get
26:26to the top
26:27of the music world.
26:28First,
26:29we decided
26:29to go on tour.
26:30We rented an old van
26:31and set off
26:32on the road
26:32to our dreams.
26:33Well,
26:34at first,
26:34it was looking
26:35more like a nightmare
26:36than a dream.
26:37Not exactly
26:38the four seasons.
26:39Tell me there's
26:40no cockroaches.
26:41I can't sleep here
26:42if there are cockroaches.
26:43Of course not,
26:44Moon.
26:44Maybe just some
26:45eight-legged roommates,
26:46but I'm sure
26:47they're very friendly.
26:48The top is mine!
26:49Those first few weeks
26:50were challenging
26:51and scary,
26:52but Luke,
26:52Moon,
26:52and I stuck
26:53closer than ever.
26:54Sometimes literally.
26:55Relax, guys.
26:56Nothing bad
26:57ever happens
26:57to teenagers
26:58in horror movies,
26:59right?
26:59Initially,
27:00our gigs were confined
27:01to really small
27:02and quiet venues.
27:03Good night.
27:04We are Cupid
27:05and his broken arrows.
27:06Yeah,
27:06there were literally
27:07more crickets
27:08than people,
27:09but slowly,
27:09people caught wind
27:10of our shows.
27:11Our songs started
27:12popping up everywhere,
27:13and we gathered
27:13a group of loyal fans.
27:15It wasn't an overnight thing,
27:16but somehow,
27:17we became kind of famous.
27:19However,
27:19the sudden fame
27:20had its downsides.
27:21The biggest downside
27:22of them all
27:23was him.
27:24That's Trevor,
27:24our manager.
27:25He discovered us
27:27when we were playing
27:27in a tiny,
27:28sleazy venue
27:29in Los Angeles.
27:30Hello, kids.
27:31I'm gonna make you stars.
27:33Talking about terror?
27:34I mean, Trevor?
27:36See?
27:36It's like his name
27:37was meant
27:38for a crooked manager role.
27:39I'm just spitting
27:40straight facts here, guys.
27:41Where do you dream
27:42of playing?
27:43Just name it.
27:44Hmm,
27:44in the forum?
27:45That's a little too ambitious.
27:47I'll make it happen.
27:48Sky's the limit for us.
27:49Despite Moon and Luke's
27:50excitement,
27:50something didn't smell
27:52right to me.
27:53So I decided to keep
27:54an eye on Trevor.
27:55Follow that car!
27:56I always wanted to say that.
27:57I tailed him
27:58to the forum offices.
27:59Oh,
27:59tailed is what spies say
28:00when they follow someone.
28:02Too many spy novels,
28:03I guess.
28:03So,
28:04Trevor got out of his car,
28:05but returned
28:05as if he'd forgotten something.
28:07What could it be,
28:08you might ask?
28:08His briefcase?
28:09His parking permit?
28:10Maybe his wallet?
28:11Well,
28:12not exactly.
28:12A gun?
28:13Who brings a gun
28:14to a business meeting?
28:15It's like bringing a gun
28:16to a business meeting!
28:18I figured he was
28:18a little shady,
28:19but he was actually dangerous.
28:21After a while,
28:22he walked out of the meeting
28:23with a big smile
28:24and put his gun
28:25back in his suit.
28:26Oh my god!
28:27That night,
28:27after Trevor gave us
28:28the news that he got us
28:29a slot at the forum,
28:30I revealed what my fierce
28:32investigation had unmasked.
28:33It's over, Trevor.
28:34I saw your gun
28:35and how you used it
28:36to get us this concert.
28:37We can't be involved
28:38in something as dark as that.
28:39Oh,
28:39you mean this?
28:40Trevor pulled out his gun
28:41and pointed it directly at me.
28:43My life flashed
28:44before my eyes.
28:45Moon,
28:45Luke and I screamed in terror
28:47as he pulled the trigger.
28:48To find out what happened next,
28:49join part four of this story.
28:51Now relax,
28:52I'm just kidding.
28:53Trevor fired,
28:54but all that came out
28:55of the gun was water.
28:56Phew,
28:57that was a close call.
28:58Well,
28:58maybe not really.
28:59Are you crazy?
29:00Why are you carrying
29:01this with you?
29:02For protection,
29:03in case,
29:03you know,
29:04a small cat attacks me.
29:05And why did you use it
29:06in the meeting?
29:07Oh,
29:07that.
29:08Those guys never
29:09watered their plants.
29:10They were so dry,
29:12poor things.
29:13Maybe I had misjudged him.
29:14Still,
29:15if you don't want to be involved
29:16in something as dark as me,
29:18I understand.
29:19Maybe it's for the best.
29:20No,
29:20Trevor,
29:21please don't take this personally.
29:22Alice is just like that.
29:24Excuse me?
29:25Yes,
29:25we really want to work with you.
29:27Great then.
29:28Are you in,
29:28Alice?
29:29Outvoted,
29:29I had no choice
29:30but to accept Trevor.
29:31His impact was soon felt.
29:33He devised everything for us,
29:35from trying on
29:35silly,
29:36smelly costumes,
29:37which I'm sure he had stolen
29:38from the thrift store
29:39to keep the extra money
29:40for himself,
29:41to making us do some bizarre
29:42and really embarrassing
29:44publicity stunts.
29:45Yet,
29:45while I hated to admit it,
29:47he did take us
29:47to the next level.
29:48He even got us a record deal.
29:50Maybe he isn't all that bad.
29:51He certainly wasn't
29:52the worst thing
29:53that came with fame.
29:54Paparazzi were a real headache.
29:56Hey, Alice,
29:57aren't you dating someone?
29:58People want to know
29:59about your love life.
30:00Oh,
30:00it's a full-blown love triangle.
30:02Me,
30:02my couch,
30:03and my Apple.
30:04I mean,
30:05iPhone.
30:05Seriously?
30:06Can it get any cringier?
30:08Well,
30:08I know what you must be thinking.
30:10What about Juan and Camillo?
30:11You guys are so predictable.
30:13Okay,
30:13after I told him
30:14I was not ready for love,
30:15our paths simply parted.
30:17Camillo moved to the big city
30:18to try his luck as a poet,
30:19and Juan went back
30:20to South Korea.
30:21I had accepted
30:21that love wasn't my thing,
30:23and I was fine with that.
30:24Really,
30:24I was.
30:25But it seems that
30:26not everybody was.
30:28Alice,
30:28people are interested in you
30:30and your love life.
30:31We must give them something.
30:32And before I could say anything,
30:33Trevor launched his enormous
30:35Find Alice a Boyfriend Operation.
30:37When he was choosing
30:38from the pictures,
30:39from his looks,
30:39you'd think he was attempting
30:40to assemble an atomic bomb.
30:42I wish you people
30:42would stop meddling
30:43in my love life.
30:44You're one to talk.
30:45Ha ha,
30:46fair point.
30:46Must I suffer all my life
30:48for that one time
30:49I played Cupid?
30:50Besides,
30:51you two are practically soulmates.
30:52I only intervened
30:53in the name of true love.
30:54Maybe Trevor
30:55will find you your soulmate.
30:56If he does,
30:57he deserves a Nobel Prize
30:58in matchmaking.
30:59Ha ha,
31:00ha ha,
31:01very funny.
31:02Bingo!
31:03We found our man.
31:04Get ready, Alice.
31:05Trevor orchestrated a date
31:06with one of the
31:07buzziest actors in town.
31:08Naturally,
31:09he gave the paparazzi
31:10a heads up,
31:11turning the dinner
31:11into a spectacle
31:12that rivaled
31:13the Super Bowl coverage.
31:14I won't deny
31:15that he was good-looking.
31:16The man could make
31:17any Greek god jealous,
31:18but he seemed to be
31:19already in a committed
31:20and very toxic relationship
31:22with his phone.
31:24It was like they were stuck
31:25in a never-ending
31:26staring contest.
31:27If a UFO landed
31:28on the table,
31:28he'd probably just assume
31:30it was dessert.
31:31So,
31:31tell me something
31:32about yourself.
31:33Uh,
31:34I have five million followers.
31:36Wow.
31:37I'd be concerned
31:37if that many people
31:38were following me.
31:39That's next-level stalking.
31:41Huh?
31:41Alice,
31:42when's the wedding?
31:43This was beyond ridiculous.
31:44I needed a bulletproof
31:46escape plan,
31:46something as sophisticated
31:48and brilliant
31:48as my mastermind
31:49can scheme.
31:50Hey,
31:51isn't that one
31:51of the Kardashians?
31:52A Kardashian?
31:53Where?
31:53I took advantage
31:54of the commotion
31:55to sneak out,
31:55but just as I was about
31:56to fulfill my genius escape.
31:58I bumped into a waiter
31:59sending his tray
32:00flying in the air.
32:01It landed on the head
32:02of my date.
32:03Oh my God,
32:03I'm so...
32:04Camillo?
32:04Is that you?
32:05Alicia,
32:06hi.
32:06What are you doing here?
32:07I...
32:08I was super surprised
32:09to see Camillo,
32:10but I had to move fast.
32:11I'm actually in the midst
32:12of an escape.
32:13Care to help me?
32:14Absolutely.
32:14Camillo wheeled over
32:15a waiter's cart
32:16covered with a tablecloth.
32:17Your chariot awaits,
32:19your majesty.
32:19I hopped in the cart
32:20and Camillo carried me
32:21unnoticed
32:22out of the restaurant.
32:23After we were in the clear,
32:24we two went for a walk.
32:26By the way,
32:26I must confess,
32:27I'm a massive fan.
32:28Oh,
32:29thank you so much.
32:30People don't believe me
32:31when I tell them
32:31we used to date.
32:32Do you tell people that?
32:33Well,
32:34I know we didn't exactly
32:35date date,
32:36but I don't know,
32:37maybe I'm just expressing
32:38my wishes out loud.
32:39Are you flirting
32:40with me right now?
32:41I am.
32:42Who knows when I'll
32:42cross paths again
32:43with another star,
32:44especially with one
32:45as strikingly beautiful
32:46as you.
32:47He was going all in.
32:48I tried to play it cool.
32:49That's smooth,
32:50but I'm not gonna fall
32:51for it that easily.
32:52I did.
32:53I'm not the same girl
32:54I was a couple of years ago.
32:55I was.
32:56Besides,
32:57I know you have a way
32:58with words.
32:59He did.
33:00You know what they say,
33:02nothing worthy
33:02is ever easy.
33:04Of course,
33:04my inner fireworks
33:05were about to start
33:06a pyrotechnic show
33:07that could rival
33:08New Year's Eve.
33:09I know,
33:09guys,
33:10I'm too weak.
33:10The rest of the night,
33:11we walked around the city
33:12just talking.
33:13It was pretty magical.
33:15The next day,
33:16Trevor woke me up.
33:17Alice,
33:17who the hell is this?
33:18Trevor pointed out
33:19a couple of pictures
33:20of Camillo and me
33:21walking through the city
33:22last night.
33:22Damn paparazzi,
33:23they got me again.
33:24Just an old friend.
33:25TV and social media
33:26are going nuts
33:27over these photos.
33:28Just read these headlines.
33:30Drama,
33:30ditches,
33:31movie star,
33:31for poet,
33:32waiter.
33:32This is genius.
33:33I am a genius.
33:35I was about to remind him
33:36that it wasn't his idea
33:37when he went off
33:38on a long rant
33:39about how Camillo and I
33:40needed to start dating
33:41for the sake of the band.
33:42Well,
33:42I hated Trevor
33:43butting into my life like that.
33:45Dating Camillo
33:45didn't seem like a bad idea at all.
33:47For the sake of the band,
33:48of course.
33:49Over the next few weeks,
33:50Camillo and I
33:51became a thing.
33:51And Trevor's scheme
33:52worked like a charm.
33:54Strangely,
33:55every little thing we did
33:56became big news
33:57that the whole country
33:58should know.
33:58Look where we are now.
34:00Camillo's really
34:00turned things around for us.
34:02Yeah,
34:02but Camillo's writing
34:03is taking off too.
34:05It's a whole thing,
34:06though it felt strange to me.
34:07But we were too caught up
34:08in enjoying all the attention
34:10to bother about it.
34:11Guys,
34:11you guys are breaking
34:13the internet right now.
34:14Any advice for your followers?
34:16Just be great.
34:17Be as incredible as we are.
34:18We know that's a pretty high bar.
34:21Yeah,
34:21I know.
34:21I wanted to pinch myself too.
34:23But dealing with fame
34:24was hard.
34:25Everyone wanted a piece of you.
34:26And soon,
34:27all this glitz and glamour
34:28also got between
34:29Moon, Luke, and me.
34:31You're late again.
34:32Sorry, loves.
34:33We play in Rochester
34:34in a few days.
34:35We need to rehearse.
34:36I'm here, aren't I?
34:37Try to relax a little bit, kid.
34:39Kid?
34:39We've done hundreds of shows.
34:41It's a walk in the park.
34:42It isn't just another show.
34:44It's our first home show
34:45since we left.
34:46Quan is even coming back
34:47from Korea
34:48with his new girlfriend
34:48for this.
34:49It has to be perfect.
34:51The mention of Quan
34:51and a girlfriend
34:52struck a chord with me.
34:54He had a girlfriend now?
34:55Who was she?
34:56Why didn't Moon
34:56tell me this earlier?
34:57Why wasn't he thinking of me?
34:59I was beyond angry.
35:00What the hell, Moon?
35:01Why are you throwing
35:02Quan and his girlfriend
35:03in my face?
35:04She was not throwing...
35:06This is clearly
35:07not about the show.
35:08Of course it is.
35:09What else would it be about?
35:10This is about you two
35:12being jealous
35:12of me and Camillo.
35:13This is about you
35:14not bearing
35:15to be under my shadow.
35:16Oh my God,
35:17you're completely delusional.
35:19Oh yeah?
35:20You two are completely...
35:21I couldn't think
35:21of a good enough adjective,
35:23so I simply stormed out.
35:24What I didn't realize
35:25was that Trevor
35:26was standing on the side
35:27just watching
35:28the drama unfold.
35:29Ah, don't stress.
35:31You don't need anyone.
35:32I think you could
35:33even go solo.
35:34What?
35:34I mean, everybody knows
35:35you're the heart of the band.
35:37You're gonna do
35:37great things by yourself.
35:39I just know it.
35:40Oh, shut up.
35:41I knew Trevor
35:41was trying to manipulate me,
35:43but he wasn't all wrong.
35:44The band thing
35:45was not working.
35:46We were always fighting
35:47and I had Camillo.
35:48What was the point
35:49of continuing?
35:50Okay, let's do it.
35:51We decided it was best
35:52to keep it a secret
35:52until after the show
35:54in Rochester,
35:54which would be our last.
35:56I had fears, doubts,
35:57and a lot of anxiety,
35:58but Camillo managed
35:59to calm me down.
36:00I'll be right there
36:01at your side.
36:02Finally, the day
36:03of the show had arrived.
36:04My relationship
36:05with Luke and Moon
36:06was more strained
36:07than ever.
36:08To avoid them,
36:09I went to the side
36:09of the stage.
36:10The arena was packed.
36:12Everybody we knew
36:12was there.
36:13Luke's family,
36:14Moon's dad,
36:14even the goth girl
36:15was present.
36:16Wait, where's dad?
36:17I tried to locate
36:18my father in the VIP
36:19and the crowd,
36:20but it was like
36:20finding Waldo
36:21when even Camillo,
36:22who was supposed
36:23to bring dad,
36:24didn't answer my calls.
36:25I started freaking out.
36:26Something felt really off.
36:28Soon after,
36:28Camillo called me
36:29from the hospital
36:30and told me
36:30there had been an accident.
36:31What?
36:32How?
36:32I was late.
36:33Then I saw your dad's
36:34accident on the way,
36:35so I followed him
36:36to the hospital,
36:36but your dad is fine.
36:37He's resting now.
36:38Why did nobody call me?
36:40They said they called
36:40his emergency contact.
36:42I'm on my way.
36:43I ran to the dressing room
36:44to grab my things.
36:45Guys, I have to go.
36:46My dad is in the hospital.
36:47Your dad?
36:48What happened?
36:48I explained everything,
36:50and despite our fight,
36:51Moon and Luke
36:51hugged me tightly.
36:52Alice, I'll drive you.
36:53Due to my shock,
36:54I hadn't noticed
36:55that Quan was there.
36:56He looked even more
36:57attractive than before.
36:58Quan, I...
36:59Snap out of it, girl.
37:00Let's go.
37:01Whoa, whoa, Alice.
37:02Stop.
37:03The show's about to start.
37:04She needs to be
37:05at the hospital.
37:06Family comes first,
37:07always.
37:07As she said that,
37:08I felt horrible.
37:10They were my family,
37:11and I was backstabbing them.
37:12I don't care about your family.
37:13This is the most
37:14important show ever.
37:15We're gonna tape it
37:16for a movie.
37:17It's a farewell concert.
37:18Do you know how much money
37:19we're gonna lose?
37:20After saying it,
37:21Trevor closed his mouth
37:21so tightly that his lips
37:23seemed to have magnets
37:24on them.
37:24Farewell concert?
37:25Oh, it's not a big deal.
37:27Breakups sell well,
37:28and we'll have three products
37:29instead of one.
37:30Both Luke and Moon
37:31looked at me.
37:32If Luke's could kill,
37:33I'd be six feet under
37:34right now.
37:35Dad, oh my God,
37:36are you okay?
37:36What happened?
37:37Oh, it's just a silly accident,
37:39but I'm okay.
37:40I'm coming to see you.
37:41What?
37:42All those people
37:43are there to see you.
37:44You're gonna play
37:45and rock that gig.
37:46But...
37:46No buts, Missy.
37:48Afterward,
37:48you can come see me.
37:49Not like I'm going anywhere.
37:51Rock it for your old man.
37:53Okay, Dad.
37:53I love you.
37:54You heard Dad, kids.
37:55Let's do it.
37:56It's showtime.
37:57We went on stage,
37:58and the tension was crazy.
38:00I could feel
38:01Luke and Moon's
38:02hateful glares.
38:03It was as if Cyclops
38:04from the X-Men
38:05was looking at me
38:06without his glasses.
38:07The show was about to start,
38:08but I refused to be like
38:09those old dinosaur rock bands
38:11where everyone hated each other.
38:13So I did something
38:14I never did.
38:15I stepped up to the microphone.
38:16No, don't freak out.
38:17I'm not gonna sing.
38:18Hi, Rochester.
38:20I want to dedicate this show
38:21to my family,
38:22to my dad,
38:23who needs to stop
38:23riding his bike at night,
38:25and to my siblings,
38:26Luke and Moon.
38:27No one has taught me
38:28as much about love
38:29and friendship
38:29as you two have.
38:31I love you,
38:31and I'm sorry, guys.
38:33Luke and Moon smiled at me.
38:34Now that we got that
38:35out of the way,
38:36it's time to rock.
38:37Then, the show finally started,
38:40and it was simply incredible.
38:42Luke, Moon, and I played
38:43like it was the first time
38:44in my garage.
38:45The show was,
38:46without a shadow of a doubt,
38:47our best.
38:48After that,
38:49we three reconciled
38:50in a big embrace.
38:51While they were still angry,
38:53at least now,
38:54it didn't look like
38:54they were going to scheme
38:55to murder me.
38:56Shortly after,
38:57Trevor joined us.
38:58Oh, Trevor.
38:59Just the man
39:00we were looking for.
39:01What?
39:02Should we share
39:03the honors, guys?
39:04At the count of three.
39:05Three, two, one.
39:07You are fired, kid.
39:08Trevor tried to manipulate
39:09and scare us with threats,
39:11but when we were together,
39:12that didn't work.
39:13That's why he wanted
39:14to split the band.
39:15He knew he could control us
39:16if we were divided.
39:17You're making a huge mistake.
39:19This is not over.
39:20Can you close the door
39:21on your way out?
39:22Thanks.
39:23We went to see my dad,
39:24and apart from a few scratches
39:25and a large cast on his leg,
39:27he was fine.
39:28You'd think I now
39:29had everything,
39:29and you'd be right.
39:30I had my band
39:31and friends back,
39:32my dad was okay,
39:33and I had my boyfriend.
39:35It was finally time
39:36for my lived,
39:37happily ever after moment.
39:38Well, that lasted
39:39for about two seconds.
39:41Literally.
39:41Someone suddenly burst
39:43into the hospital room.
39:44Babe, are you all right?
39:45Mom?
39:45Babe?
39:46What are you doing?
39:47Alice.
39:48Well, I guess now I know
39:49who his emergency contact was.
39:51My mom looked at me smiling,
39:52but when she saw Camillo,
39:54her face completely transformed.
39:56Alice, get away from him.
39:57I was beyond confused.
39:59I looked at Camillo.
40:00His face revealed
40:01that he had something to confess.
40:03I imagine your faces right now
40:04are exactly like mine
40:06at that moment.
40:06Once again,
40:07fate had a curveball for me.
40:08But this is running too long.
40:10I know no one likes cliffhangers,
40:11but you know what they say,
40:12nothing worthy is ever easy.
40:14You know what I could do.
40:14Let us know what I do.
40:15You know what she is,
40:27I tahu,
40:28how that feels.
40:29I know what I need.
40:30I have no idea...
40:31it's not true,
40:32but this is terrible.
40:33It is done.
40:35I know it looks...
40:35We're not seeing you.
