Short filmTranscript
00:01En college I bought a boyfriend, he was a genius from a small town, he was penniless, but I got
00:11everything, the deal was I paid his family's medical bills, and he slept with me, but eventually he hated every
00:18second of the 4 years, then a nightmare happened, my family went bankrupt overnight, that same night he walked away,
00:27no goodbye, no looking back,
00:30just gone, for years later everything changed, I'm a waitress at a stripper club, working to pay off debts, and
00:37him, he's the new king of Silicon Valley, for all these years, I never thought I'd run into Ryan like
00:44this, I kept my head down when serving the drinks, trying to hide, Tella was sitting right next to him,
00:51they looked perfect together, I thought bitterly,
00:54Waitress, slice up these oranges, I turned my back to him and started slicing, the orange juice splashed on my
01:00hands, long ago whenever I craved oranges, Ryan would always slice for me, his cuts were perfect, slice was exactly
01:09the same, back then, I actually thought he loved me,
01:13Later, I realized he was just a sweet person, when he sliced those oranges, he would think about codes, scholarships,
01:19and bills this month, he thought about everything, except me, 4 years apart felt like a lifetime, suddenly they started
01:26talking about college romances, someone said,
01:29I heard you had a girlfriend back then, Ryan,
01:32My hand froze,
01:35I heard you had a girlfriend back then, Ryan,
01:38My hand froze,
01:39Yeah, wow, 4 years, basically all of college,
01:45Ryan didn't respond,
01:46It must be unforgettable, right?
01:48Ryan stayed silent, swirling the wine in his glass, after a long pause, he gave a faint, cold smile,
01:55Not really,
01:57Believe me, he couldn't stand that girl,
02:01Stella joked,
02:02I went to the same college with them, that girl was a totally nightmare,
02:06If she hadn't been in the way, Ryan and I would have been together years ago,
02:13So true, Stella is killing it on social media, the ex is old news compared to her,
02:20The room is filled with laughter again, I grabbed the tray, wanting to get out of there, suddenly the knife
02:25slips,
02:26The sound drew everyone's attention, what is wrong with you, can't you even cut fruit?
02:31I'm so sorry, I'll go get a new one,
02:34Wait,
02:35Ryan's voice stopped me cold,
02:38Turn around,
02:40He spoke slowly, one word at a time, I froze, I felt like I was nailed to the floor,
02:46Turn around,
02:47I froze,
02:49Just then, the manager stepped in,
02:52I'm so sorry, she's new, this tray is on the homes today,
02:57Go, get a new one, now,
03:02I finally escaped the room,
03:05Be more careful next time,
03:07If they complain, you're working for nothing tonight,
03:12Thank you,
03:14That VIP room is full of big shots,
03:17Especially that young CEO,
03:19We cannot afford to offend him,
03:21I'm scared,
03:22Could you deliver the oranges for me?
03:25Sure,
03:28I stood in the hallway,
03:30Realized something bitter,
03:32I am the Nightmare X they were talking about,
03:36I still remember our freshman year,
03:39Ryan stood in the crowd in his faded old clothes,
03:43He was totally an outsider,
03:45But he was the only one I saw,
03:47Until last week,
03:49When he suddenly showed up,
03:51I loved his cold, calm voice when he was talking to me,
03:55And I loved the way he looked down at me,
03:58Ryan was desperate for money back then,
04:02So one night after class,
04:04I grabbed his hand,
04:05I like you, Ryan,
04:07Be with me,
04:08I have money,
04:09We can share,
04:10I could even pay you for one night,
04:12No,
04:14He said no of course,
04:17But I was young and spoiled,
04:20I didn't know the word lose meant,
04:23The more he said no,
04:25No,
04:26The harder I chased him,
04:30Everything changed when his grandfather got sick,
04:34Without thinking,
04:35I paid all the medical bills,
04:38That was the moment Ryan finally gave in,
04:41I was so stupid,
04:44I thought I was being a hero,
04:48It took me a long time to realize,
04:51I got the man,
04:56But I crushed his soul,
05:01Even after we started dating,
05:03He worked every single day,
05:05He barely touched my money,
05:06But things got worse,
05:08People started to spread rumors,
05:10They said he have sold himself,
05:12I was so naive,
05:13I just held his hand and said,
05:15Ignore them,
05:15I lived in my own little world,
05:17Never realized Ryan was fighting his war all alone,
05:21Senior year,
05:21My family lost everything,
05:23I didn't tell him the truth,
05:25I just called him out and said,
05:26Let's break up,
05:27Why?
05:28I'm bored of you,
05:30Fine,
05:32As you wish,
05:32Just like that,
05:34We were over,
05:35I figured he was happy to finally be free,
05:38The day we broke up,
05:39I changed my phone,
05:40And left town to pay off the debts,
05:42I didn't move back until three months ago,
05:44Ryan looks amazing now,
05:46He was always a genius,
05:48The top of our class,
05:49Only four years after graduation,
05:51He's a tech mogul on the cover of Fortune magazines now,
05:54And Stella,
05:55She was our prom queen,
05:56Became a famous influencer,
05:57I never expected them to be together,
06:00They look good together,
06:04They look good together,
06:06Standing by the elevator,
06:08I tried to swallow the bitterness in my chest,
06:10It was 4am when I finished my shift,
06:12I was the last one out of the club,
06:15The lights were off,
06:16And the elevator wasn't running,
06:18I kept hitting the button,
06:19Hoping for a miracle,
06:20You should call security,
06:21A voice said behind me,
06:24I looked back,
06:25And there he was,
06:26Ryan,
06:26I called,
06:27My hands shaking,
06:29The elevator opened,
06:30We stood together in the tiny,
06:32Quiet space,
06:33You always get off the slate?
06:35He asked casually,
06:36We leave when the last guest leaves,
06:38Does it pay well?
06:39It's okay,
06:40I kept my head down,
06:41He acted like I was a total stranger,
06:44Chatting away as if nothing happened,
06:45This elevator is slow,
06:46My girlfriend is waiting for me,
06:48She must be worried,
06:49My heart skipped a beat,
06:50He was talking about Stella,
06:53What about you?
06:55Working so late,
06:57Doesn't your boyfriend pick you up?
07:00Doesn't your boyfriend pick you up?
07:02I live nearby,
07:03The elevator doors opened,
07:05I tried to run,
07:06But Ryan grabbed my arm,
07:08Why are you always running,
07:09Chloe?
07:10Where else can you go?
07:11He looked exactly like the same boy from my past,
07:14But his eyes were colder,
07:17You just vanished,
07:18Chloe,
07:19Phone disconnected,
07:20No one can reach you,
07:22You're so good at disappearing,
07:23I finally looked at him,
07:25You've done your research,
07:26Haven't you,
07:26Ryan?
07:27My family went bankrupt,
07:29I'm still in debt,
07:30Why didn't you tell me then,
07:30Was your pride that important?
07:32I was speechless,
07:33Chloe,
07:34Is that you?
07:35It was Stella,
07:37She looked perfect,
07:38Even prettier than before,
07:41Chloe?
07:42Is that you?
07:43Where have you been after all these years?
07:46I moved away,
07:47Stella looked at my coat,
07:49Wait,
07:50Is that your old coat from college?
07:52It's literally falling apart,
07:54Why are you still wearing that?
07:55She wanted to embarrass me,
07:57It's fine,
07:58It still works,
08:00Are things that bad?
08:01Stella pulled out a card set,
08:02Here,
08:03Take this,
08:05Don't worry about paying it back,
08:06I looked at her then at Ryan,
08:08Who was in her arm,
08:09No thanks,
08:10I can still pay my own bills,
08:12I'm actually getting married,
08:14Next month to be exact,
08:17I'd love for you guys to come to my wedding,
08:19Ryan's face suddenly went pale,
08:21He never saw it coming,
08:23The club gig is just my side hustle,
08:25By day I have a real office job,
08:28Monday morning a big client arrived,
08:30The office was buzzing with gossip,
08:32I heard this guy's a total genius,
08:34He built the system just to find someone,
08:36Who?
08:37I heard it's his ex-girlfriend,
08:39My heart skipped a beat,
08:40So did he find her yet?
08:42Nobody knows,
08:43But every big investor is chasing him,
08:45I grabbed my files and headed to the meeting,
08:48I heard a familiar voice inside,
08:51I need to rethink this partnership,
08:53I pushed the door open and set the files down,
08:55Ryan's eyes locked onto mine instantly,
08:58What are you doing here?
08:59Working,
09:01My boss looked surprised,
09:02Chloe,
09:03Do you know Mr. Warren?
09:06We've met,
09:07Met?
09:07That's new to me,
09:08He was upset,
09:09But I didn't know why,
09:11He was the one who walked away first,
09:13Ryan pointed at me and looked at my boss,
09:16I'm willing to sign,
09:18Provided there's a small condition,
09:20I want Chloe as my private assistant,
09:22Of course,
09:23Absolutely,
09:24My boss agreed before I could say a word,
09:26Then he had me run coffee back and forth,
09:28While they talked business until sunset,
09:30At PM,
09:31I grabbed my bag to leave,
09:33Where are you going?
09:34I didn't say you could leave,
09:36I can't work late today Mr. Warren,
09:38What could be more important than your work?
09:41I have another job,
09:43I have to go deliver food now,
09:45Ryan just stared at me in total shock,
09:48I used to be so spoiled,
09:49I was the kind of person who wouldn't even touch takeout,
09:52Back in college,
09:53Ryan spent all his after school hours delivering food,
09:56His dinner was usually just a cheap free meal,
09:59Provided by the delivery company,
10:01One day I went to find him,
10:02I saw him squeezed into a tiny room,
10:05With a bunch of other Uber eat drivers,
10:07They were all just shoving food into their mouths,
10:09From plastic boxes,
10:11I said,
10:12Ryan how can you eat that,
10:14It's so unhealthy,
10:15He looked so uncomfortable,
10:17He looked at me and asked,
10:19Does it really matter if it's healthy?
10:21Come on,
10:22Let's go grab some steak,
10:24I dragged him to a new steakhouse,
10:26Where a meal costs over 100 bucks,
10:29He stood at the door for a long time,
10:32Then he silently took off his delivery uniform,
10:34It wasn't until my family lost everything,
10:37That I finally understood how he felt that day,
10:40And I understood his pain,
10:42Just like I felt today,
10:44It started snowing on the street,
10:46The ground was so slippery,
10:48And the food spilled everywhere,
10:51I called the customer to explain,
10:53But he just screamed at me,
10:56Hello?
10:57I'm so sorry,
10:59It's snowing and the roads are icy,
11:01I fell off my bike,
11:02And the food spilled,
11:03Don't make excuses,
11:05You're late,
11:06I'm so sorry,
11:07I'm so sorry,
11:08My palms were cracked and bleeding,
11:10It hurt so badly,
11:11But I didn't have time to care,
11:13Suddenly,
11:13Ryan appeared and grabbed my bike,
11:15I had no idea how long he'd been standing there,
11:18Watching me,
11:19I reflexively hid my hands behind my back,
11:23Stop hiding them,
11:24I saw them,
11:25Go wash them,
11:26Right now,
11:27His voice was raspy,
11:28And his eyes were bloodshot,
11:30I have to deliver the food first,
11:32Get in the car,
11:33I'll take you,
11:34The customer lived on the first floor,
11:36When I handed him the meal,
11:38He grumbled,
11:39What the,
11:40A Porsche driver delivering takeout?
11:42I checked my phone,
11:44I had to pick up the next order,
11:46Stop,
11:47Don't go,
11:49I can't,
11:50I haven't made enough money tonight,
11:51Then I'll buy it,
11:53Then I'll buy it,
11:54What?
11:55I can't believe what I heard,
11:57He reached into his coat,
11:58And pulled out a thick stack of cash,
12:00He didn't even count it,
12:02He just pressed the money into my bleeding hands,
12:05I'm buying your time for the rest of the night,
12:07The Porsche pulled up to Ryan's house,
12:10He opened the door for me,
12:12I stepped out hesitantly,
12:13Standing at his front door,
12:15I stopped,
12:16Stella wouldn't like it,
12:17I refused to go inside,
12:19You're still worried about her?
12:20Look at yourself,
12:22You're a mess,
12:23My palms were torn up,
12:24And my clothes were soaked with dirty melted snow,
12:28And look at this house,
12:29Does it look like a woman lives here?
12:31You guys,
12:32Aren't living together?
12:34I was never even with her,
12:36Ryan pulled out a contract,
12:37And handed it to me,
12:39Six months ago,
12:40She came to me for a deal,
12:41She didn't want to be harassed by all those scumbags,
12:45So she asked me to play her fake boyfriend,
12:48He explained further,
12:49Making sure I understood,
12:51And some gold diggers like to target tech CEOs like us,
12:54It's annoying,
12:56Stella could help me get rid of them as well,
12:58I opened the contract,
13:00And the words practically jumped off the page,
13:02No interference in each other's private lives,
13:06Ryan took my hand and started treating my wounds,
13:09Then I saw a row of unopened hand creams on the shelf,
13:13It was my favorite brand,
13:15Ryan had bought the entire set,
13:17I talked to your co-works today,
13:19You don't have a boyfriend,
13:21You even told everyone you were single last week,
13:24Tell me the truth,
13:25There is no wedding,
13:26Chloe,
13:27Admit it,
13:29You're wrong,
13:30There is,
13:32Then show me a photo,
13:35A photo of you and that guy,
13:37We,
13:38We don't have any photos together,
13:41You,
13:43You love taking pictures,
13:45And you're telling me,
13:46You don't have a single photo with your new man,
13:48You just reminded me,
13:51I'll take one next time,
13:52And show it to you,
13:54Ryan let out a cold, frustrated laugh,
13:57Suddenly he leaned over,
13:58He pushed me back onto the couch,
14:01Trapping me completely,
14:02I couldn't move even through my sweater,
14:05I could feel the heat radiating from his body,
14:09I bought your time for tonight,
14:11I'll give your money back Ryan,
14:13I'm really getting married,
14:14His hand slid down my shoulder slowly,
14:17Until he reached my wrist,
14:18He stopped,
14:19Getting married?
14:21And yet you're still wearing the bracelet your ex-boyfriend sent you?
14:24That doesn't seem right does it?
14:25I looked down,
14:26There was a thin chain on my wrist,
14:28Over the years it had lost its shine,
14:31It was the very first gift Ryan ever gave me,
14:33I was 19,
14:35And the world was different then,
14:36There was a week I barely saw him except for classes,
14:39He was working every part time job he could find,
14:42He was working harder than ever,
14:43On my birthday,
14:44My parents threw a party for me at a fancy restaurant,
14:47I invited Ryan but he didn't show up,
14:50I waited and waited,
14:52Finally when the party was over,
14:53My phone rang,
14:56I'm outside the restaurant,
14:57I walked out in the middle of a heavy snowstorm,
15:00There he was standing tall and straight,
15:03He looked exhausted,
15:04Just like I do today,
15:06His cheap yellow delivery uniform was covered in mud,
15:09Back then I didn't know what's happening,
15:11All I did was complain about him being late,
15:13Ryan just smiled and rubbed my hair,
15:16He told me he got me a gift,
15:18It was a simple bracelet,
15:19But I knew it was way more than he could afford,
15:22I loved it so much that I couldn't wait to put it on,
15:24And for years I never took it off,
15:26My parents called me from inside the restaurant,
15:29Who were you talking to?
15:30They asked who I was talking to,
15:31They never liked Ryan,
15:33They thought he was too poor for me,
15:35When I turned back around,
15:36Ryan was already gone,
15:38Disappearing into the snow,
15:39Looking back today I can't help but wonder,
15:42Back when we were 19,
15:44Ryan did love me didn't he?
15:45That bracelet,
15:46He worked day and night just to buy it for me,
15:49Was he just like me tonight?
15:51Running through the snow,
15:53Falling down but getting back up just to get that gift to me,
15:56But what about now?
15:57He's now pressing me down into the sofa,
15:59His shadow looming over me,
16:00His house is filled with luxury brands I used to love,
16:03Does he still care about me?
16:04Or is he just trying to humiliate me?
16:06I couldn't figure it out,
16:08Before I knew it,
16:09Tears started rolling down my face,
16:11Ryan froze,
16:12He looked completely panicked,
16:14He could never handle it when I cried,
16:16That's the one thing about him that hasn't changed at all,
16:19He scrambled to wipe the tears from my face,
16:22Don't cry,
16:23Please,
16:23Don't cry,
16:25I'm sorry,
16:26I didn't mean to make you cry,
16:28Today's your 26th birthday,
16:30And I bought you a new bracelet,
16:34I bought you a new bracelet,
16:37What?
16:37I had completely forgotten,
16:39Today was actually my birthday,
16:42Take a look,
16:43Do you like it?
16:44He reached for my wrist,
16:46Trying to help me put on the new bracelet,
16:48Chloe,
16:51Could we,
16:53Could we try back?
16:55Before he could finish,
16:56The doorbell rang,
16:59Where's Chloe?
16:59I'm here to pick her up,
17:01Who are you?
17:02I'm her fiancé,
17:03Didn't she tell you?
17:04Ryan's hand shook,
17:05The new bracelet slipped from his fingers and fell,
17:08I left with Lucas,
17:09He didn't open the windows,
17:10But kept lighting one cigarette after another,
17:12The smoke was thick,
17:14Making me cough uncontrollably,
17:16I had known Lucas for a long time,
17:18Before my family went bankrupt,
17:20He confessed his feelings to me,
17:21But back then I was so head over heels for Ryan,
17:24That I rejected Lucas every single time,
17:27Until last week when he suddenly showed up,
17:32Marry me,
17:33And I'll pay off all your debts,
17:36Marry me,
17:37And I'll pay off all your debts,
17:39Why?
17:40To prove you chose wrong,
17:41I'm the only one who can save you,
17:43That poor kid is just a burden,
17:45So I'm just a trophy for his ego,
17:47How pathetic,
17:48I only asked him for a phone call,
17:50Just an excuse to escape Ryan tonight,
17:52I didn't expect him to show up at Ryan's door,
17:57Why lie about being my fiancé?
18:00What's the difference?
18:02We're getting married anyway,
18:04I never said yes,
18:06Do you even have a choice?
18:07Wake up Chloe,
18:08You're drowning in debt,
18:10Only a sucker would marry you,
18:12Who else wants you?
18:13That guy?
18:13He was your broken college boyfriend,
18:15Right?
18:16He's only back to humiliate you,
18:18He must be laughing at you right now,
18:21None of your business,
18:23He stole my girl once,
18:25Now I want payback,
18:27Lucas,
18:28I'm not an object,
18:30I said no then,
18:31And I say no now,
18:34I had enough,
18:35Is it really up to you Chloe?
18:37Think about your family,
18:39Looking at his smug face,
18:40I thought of the past,
18:42Back then,
18:43Everyone mocked Ryan just like this,
18:45Does Ryan think of me that way now?
18:49Word got out that I was back,
18:51Everyone knew my family was bankrupt,
18:53My old roommate Jade reached out,
18:55It was our old promise,
18:56Whoever got married last,
18:57Would be the bridesmaid,
18:59On the wedding day,
19:00I saw so many old faces,
19:02Chloe,
19:04I always thought you'd be the first one to get married,
19:07If I were married,
19:08How could I be your bridesmaid?
19:11Don't even start,
19:13Four years,
19:15No calls,
19:16No texts,
19:17I was so mad at you,
19:19I'm sorry,
19:20I promise I won't disappear again,
19:22Why did you just vanish then?
19:27My whole world collapsed at that time,
19:29Jade,
19:30I didn't want anyone's sympathy,
19:33Just hurt too much to stay,
19:35So I left and deleted everything,
19:38Ryan was looking for you like crazy,
19:39Love currr
19:39Whatever I see,
19:39I was selfish,
