Short filmTranscript
00:04I felt a hand claw at my throat in desperation to dislodge the item, keeping me from breathing.
00:09Oh my god, Aria! Breathe!
00:13Last time I ever chew ice.
00:15Are you going to the Liam Cross concert?
00:16I'm already going!
00:18But I need you to go with me.
00:20I got us front row seats. We can see him up close.
00:23I don't even like Liam Cross.
00:25Yes, you do!
00:26Come on, we can see him up close!
00:28Your GPA dropped a whole point, Aria.
00:31Do you think Stanford would accept a girl who can't even keep a 3.8?
00:34Mom, it's just one semester.
00:35One semester is enough.
00:36What about your applications? You haven't finished a single essay.
00:42I have to go.
00:43Hey Meg, change of plans. I'll be at your place in 10 minutes.
00:49Sometimes the only way to escape reality is with terrible pop music.
00:52Seriously, anything is better than staying here.
00:54I'm going to the library! I'm staying at Megan's tonight! Don't wait up!
00:59You should definitely go with this one.
01:02Don't you think it shows off a little too much? I don't know.
01:06Ass?
01:07Yes.
01:09That.
01:12It looks gorgeous! You never go out of your comfort zone.
01:15Let me do your makeup too.
01:16Fine, but nothing heavy. I just got my skin clear and I don't want your makeup clogging my pores.
01:20Primer, highlighter, blush. No foundation. But I am putting these lashes on you.
01:26Is that me?
01:27Yes!
01:27I was more well endowed than Megan in certain areas, so the dress felt like it was about to burst.
01:32But looking in the mirror, it didn't look bad at all.
01:36Now me!
01:39Oh god, I forgot your hair!
01:41I'll just curl it.
01:42Then I have to straighten mine. We can't both curl.
01:44I will never understand girl rules.
01:49You have two. Did you know I changed my mind?
01:50Your mom always bugs you before exams.
01:53I knew you'd crack.
01:57Your 16th birthday present is still ridiculous, by the way.
01:59Hey!
01:59My music, my rules.
02:01I don't even know this song.
02:02Too bad, because I do.
02:06A few years ago, I'd been the exact same girl.
02:09Different artist. We don't talk about that phase.
02:14Thank you, Megan's mother. Successful defense attorney for the wealthy and probably guilty.
02:19She defends the allegedly guilty.
02:24Watch it, jerk.
02:25Are you okay?
02:27Yeah. What was that about?
02:31Probably some weirdo.
02:32Come on, we're gonna miss the openers.
02:34I brushed it off and focused on distracting myself from the annoying songs that would soon be stuck in my
02:40head.
02:41At least it wouldn't be my mom's voice stuck in my ears.
02:44My feet hurt. My ears hurt. Somehow even my eyelids hurt.
02:48This is it! He's coming out!
02:52I'm gonna get a drink.
02:57I wanted Ethan to see it, to prove I was completely fine without him.
03:08He was wearing tight black jeans and a white v-neck.
03:11Tattoos crawled up and down his body.
03:14Every girl in the world wanted a piece of him.
03:16Except me, of course.
03:18So why was I oogling his body like everyone else?
03:21The alcohol. That had to be it.
03:24We were so close I could see the sweat on his forehead.
03:27I could have touched him if I reached out.
03:29My heart stopped.
03:32It was getting hard to breathe.
03:34Everyone around me was screaming.
03:37Where are you going?
03:39Get it together. He's just a guy.
03:47You missed it! He was looking right at you!
03:49As soon as you left, he went to the other side.
03:51Oops.
03:52Are you drinking again?
03:53Is the concert almost over? I want to go to a party after this.
03:56Don't rush it! We still have meet and greets!
03:59Whatever.
04:01Oh my god, I love this song! I know!
04:04Here, sing it!
04:05This is going on everything!
04:07I did what any normal, half-drunk teenage girl would do.
04:09I threw up into the microphone, all over his hand.
04:12I'm totally kidding.
04:13But I did think about it for a nanosecond.
04:17Did that really just happen?
04:24You finished both of those?
04:25How are you not drunk?
04:28I think I am.
04:30We still have VIP meet and greet.
04:32Can you act like a normal person for five minutes?
04:34Define normal.
04:42Passes, please!
04:45I think I left it in the car!
04:47Go ahead, Meg! I'll be right back!
04:51Thank god.
04:52I was so exhausted from the heels and the alcohol that I somehow forgot what I came out here to
04:56get.
04:58Megan, turn off the lights. My head's killing me.
05:01Oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit. This is not good.
05:07Stop screaming!
05:08You stop screaming! How much did I have to drink?
05:11I don't know, but how did you get in my car?
05:14Pretty sure this isn't your car.
05:15Oh, shit! This is even worse!
05:18Ah! Cheese and fries! Slow down before I puke all over you!
05:23Did you just say cheese and fries?
05:25Don't make fun of my catchphrases. Why are you driving like a maniac?
05:28This was my last show near my hometown, and they're trying to find out where I'm going.
05:36Well, since I've apparently been kidnapped by a famous person, Aria Morgan. Nice to meet you.
05:43What now?!
05:44You're real! This isn't a dream!
05:50Wait. You're the girl who sang to me in the crowd.
05:55Technically, you sang to everyone. I just sang back.
05:58Then sing something else. For me.
06:02Megan got an Uber. If I don't answer soon, she's calling the cops.
06:05So what do we do?
06:07First, we stop making this worse.
06:08What was that?
06:13Flat tire. Pull over.
06:14I can call someone.
06:15Open the trunk. Now.
06:19You've done this before?
06:21Grab the spare.
06:22You're terrifyingly calm.
06:23Panic wastes time.
06:28Oh!
06:29Why do you know this?
06:31Long story. Bad car. Worst date.
06:34And Megan?
06:35Damn alcohol.
06:44Okay. Game plan. Where to?
06:47My place. You're soaked. And you shouldn't go home drunk.
06:50That is not as safe as you think it sounds.
06:53I'm not kidnapping you.
06:56You're driving a stolen BMW with me inside it.
07:00Into the wrong car.
07:03Still sounds like fan behavior.
07:06Fame really damaged you.
07:11I went because Megan dragged me.
07:13I just didn't want to sit home listening to my mother scream about college.
07:17Whoever made you feel trapped, his loss.
07:20Careful. That almost sounded sincere.
07:23Don't tell anyone.
07:24It was one of those rare moments.
07:27Is this your house?
07:29Yeah. Run.
07:31Tonight, she can't go home.
07:33If she goes back, the paparazzi will track into a shower all the way from the car.
07:37It's not safe for you to go home tonight.
07:39They'll follow your car and never stop stalking you.
07:43Take yourself at home.
07:44I'll clear out the party so you can rest.
07:45Not much of a talker anymore?
07:48Oh, please.
07:48You were bragging about how anyone would love to be kidnapped by you.
07:52There she is.
07:54I uploaded the music online with just a few seconds of courage.
07:58And I love the way you tell the truth.
08:05I've never met anyone like you.
08:10After the call, stay here.
08:13There are spare clothes in the dresser.
08:14My sister leaves stuff here.
08:18You too, Liam Cross.
08:22Oh my god.
08:23Did you really spend the night at Liam Cross's house?
08:25Aria, answer me.
08:26Tell me this is a rumor because if it's true, your mom is going to lose her mind.
08:29I can't talk about this right now.
08:31I gotta go.
08:34I didn't know how you take it, so I brought both.
08:37One with sugar, one without.
08:38I figured guessing was safer than waking the whole house.
08:44Diabetes, please.
08:47Also, thanks.
08:48I can drive you home.
08:50Or before you leave, would you hear something?
08:52A new song.
08:53No one's heard it yet.
08:55Since you're not impressed by me, I thought maybe you'd give me the most honest opinion.
08:58I don't know.
08:59You want me to judge your music?
09:02Exactly.
09:05Okay.
09:06Lead the way, rock star.
09:17This is the one room in this house that actually feels like mine.
09:22It's incredible.
09:24Fair warning, this is rough.
09:26Just play it.
09:27I'm not angry anymore.
09:31Just a little bit let down.
09:34I know I could have been different if you would have been different.
09:37This is real.
09:43Why don't you release music like this?
09:47Because my manager says...
09:54Unless you'd want to grab breakfast first.
09:57I do love pancakes.
10:01Very incognito, no one would ever recognize the international superstar in a baseball cap.
10:08It's worked so far.
10:10Sometimes I miss being nobody.
10:15You know, Bean.
10:19Trust me, being nobody isn't as great as you think.
10:23You're not nobody, Aria.
10:35Not yet, but they will.
10:38They don't know who I am, right?
10:40Yeah, I saw it.
10:42No, she's not my girlfriend.
10:44It's not what it looks like, Vincent.
10:48We should get you home, now.
10:49Liam!
10:50I'm sorry.
10:51This is exactly what I was afraid of.
10:54You know, what if the tabloids figure out who you are?
10:57I thought I could warn you early.
10:59You don't have to feel bad.
11:02You don't have to feel bad.
11:03I knew what I was getting into.
11:05You didn't get into anything.
11:06I dragged you into this by accident.
11:09That's your excuse for getting my number?
11:11Is it working?
11:24Last night was the most fun I've had in a really long time.
11:28Write the real stuff, not the garbage your manager wants.
11:31Thanks for the adventure.
11:35Where have you been?
11:36I called you 12 times.
11:40I can't.
11:41She's right here.
11:44Nobody, Mom.
11:44I'm going to my room.
11:48It's viral.
11:49They posted everything.
11:55Have you seen Twitter?
11:57Hashtag Liam's mystery girl is treading worldwide.
12:00I'm looking at it right now.
12:01They don't know it's me.
12:02And the front row part.
12:04By the mic.
12:04Fans already saved it.
12:05They clipped you.
12:06I'm on YouTube.
12:07Multiple angles.
12:08You can see my face.
12:17It's fine.
12:18Nobody knows who I am.
12:19For now.
12:20Be careful.
12:24They know my school.
12:26Everyone knows.
12:28Oh my god, are you the girl from the Liam Cross video?
12:31It's totally her!
12:32This was supposed to be romantic.
12:33Now it rewrote my whole life.
12:35I can't even walk to class without being filmed.
12:37This is a nightmare.
12:44So, you and Liam Cross, huh?
12:46Go away, Ethan.
12:47I saw you out there singing like you were somebody.
12:50Funny how the world notices, right?
12:51No.
12:52It's not that I changed.
12:54Maybe I made a mistake.
12:56I was always interesting, Ethan.
12:58He just didn't bother to look.
13:03The videos of you singing have over 10 million views.
13:05Labels want to know who you are.
13:09Opportunities?
13:10A record deal, Miss Morgan.
13:12Are you interested?
13:12I need time to think.
13:15Vincent called you, didn't he?
13:17Don't trust everything he says.
13:19Call me tonight.
13:20Please.
13:22Standing in the empty hallway.
13:24My phone is lighting up.
13:25And for the first time, I realize our world isn't waiting anymore.
13:33Hey.
13:34Hey.
13:35So your manager offered me a record deal.
13:37I know.
13:38I know.
13:38That's what I was afraid of.
13:40If he's offering you a deal, it's because he thinks he can use you.
13:43What if this is my one shot?
13:45Then I'll support you.
13:46But I want you to go in with your eyes open.
13:49Before hanging up, I stop talking about contracts and work.
13:52No matter what Vincent decides, I want to see you one more time, just as Liam and Aria,
13:57not as part of any business arrangement.
13:58I want you to come.
13:59You said you'd like that.
14:01Saturday.
14:01We'll meet.
14:02I'd like that.
14:03Okay.
14:07It's two in the morning.
14:08I didn't notice.
14:13Aria!
14:14It's two a.m.
14:15Who are you talking to?
14:16Nobody, Mom!
14:18It's not a date.
14:20It's not a date.
14:21Then why have you changed five times?
14:23Because I want to look...
14:25Oh, I...
14:27It's not a...
14:28I'm appropriate.
14:32Okay.
14:42You look...
14:43If you say different without the mini dress, I'm going back inside.
14:46I was gonna say great.
14:48That's why being around you feels different.
14:51You treat me like I'm just...
14:53a person.
14:54You are just a person.
14:56A person who can't change a tire.
14:58I know.
14:59And honestly, you should see the way I tried.
15:03Then stop trying to be perfect.
15:05Okay, then...
15:06Can I be real with you?
15:08Want to hear it?
15:08Write the album like that.
15:10All of it.
15:10It's just...
15:11I'm so in love with you.
15:13Whatever you want to do is oh cry with me.
15:17I know.
15:18I'd like to sign you to our label.
15:22So you control my image, my social media, and my public appearances?
15:27Standard industry terms.
15:31You mean with Liam?
15:33The public is already interested in your connection.
15:36I told you not to do this, Vincent.
15:38I'm not signing this.
15:39Not today.
15:40This says you want to control my schedule and own the music I create.
15:44And it even demands a collaborative promotional push with your current artists.
15:48So using our relationship as marketing...
15:52Let me help you.
15:53Then let me help you?
15:54Let him you're choosing.
15:55I'm not a girl for your content.
15:57I'm not an accessory.
15:58Aria, wait.
16:00I'm sorry I didn't warn you about Vincent.
16:01I know the terms are bad.
16:03But making music, it's the first thing I've actually wanted to chase.
16:05Maybe this is my few seconds of courage.
16:07If you truly want to go down this road, I'll help.
16:09But not through Vincent anymore.
16:11Then let me help you.
16:11Not through Vincent.
16:12Through me.
16:14Okay.
16:15I wrote the melody.
16:16You write the lyrics.
16:18I've never written lyrics before.
16:20Just say what you feel.
16:22Don't try to sound polished.
16:24Just tell the truth.
16:26Even if it's messy.
16:27Even if it scares you.
16:28I've got my walls that I've built in all my fears.
16:30That I'm ready to be seen for all that I am.
16:33And all my walls, they didn't stand it when you crashed into my world.
16:37That's the one.
16:38The one what?
16:39The lead single for the album.
16:40That song is real and people are going to hear it.
16:42Sing with me.
16:44Not as a publicity stunt.
16:45Not for marketing.
16:46Not for headlines.
16:48Because this is the most honest thing I've recorded in years.
16:51And it's honest because you're in it.
16:55Is it just the music?
17:01You know it's not just the music.
17:06This is going to complicate everything.
17:08I know.
17:09I don't care.
17:18Don't look at your phone.
17:19How did they?
17:19Someone at school sold the story.
17:21They got photos of you and Liam holding hands.
17:23And now everyone knows your name in school.
17:25Guess you're the celebrity's girlfriend now.
17:32I just saw.
17:33I'm so sorry.
17:34Are you okay?
17:35Vincent is already handling crisis PR.
17:37Define okay.
17:45Reporters are parked outside.
17:46We may need alternative arrangements for Aria.
17:49You told me you were at the library.
17:51The school can barely function like this today.
17:54She's a student.
17:56Not a celebrity.
17:57She's a student.
17:58Not a celebrity.
17:59Mom, I can explain.
18:00I can explain.
18:01You spent the night at a strange man's house?
18:06Mom, I can extend it.
18:08Morris, no.
18:12Your mom took your phone.
18:14So I brought mine.
18:24Liam has been blowing up my phone all night.
18:27He got into a huge fight with Vincent because
18:29Vincent wanted to spin this like album promotion.
18:32Liam shut that down.
18:33He said she's not a marketing strategy.
18:35She's a person.
18:39I need to call Liam.
18:40Yeah, okay.
18:42How could you do this to me?
18:44I will fix this.
18:45I promise.
18:46How?
18:46The whole world knows who I am.
18:48I'll hold a press conference.
18:49I'll tell them to leave you alone.
18:50I'll do whatever it takes to protect you from this.
18:52Maybe, maybe we should take a step back first.
18:54Just wait for things to calm down.
18:57Yes.
18:58If that's what you need, I'll respect it.
19:03You're an idiot.
19:05I know.
19:06Two weeks and the noise finally died down.
19:09I got my phone back, but I still couldn't talk to him.
19:13Then he drops a song everywhere at once.
19:16It's beat of my heart.
19:18Our song.
19:24He took my words, my melody, all of it.
19:29But when my part should come in, he leaves nothing.
19:32Just silence.
19:34You hearing this?
19:36Yeah, he left your part empty, Aria.
19:38Everybody knows someone's missing.
19:44Every line is about me.
19:46About the girl who crashed into his world and the hole she left behind.
19:56I need to see him.
19:57That's my girl.
19:57I'll pick you up in 10.
20:03Want me to wait?
20:04No.
20:05Go home.
20:05I'll figure it out.
20:13Tell him it's the girl who changed his tire.
20:15He's not taking visitors.
20:15Tell him he's not taking visitors.
20:19Liam locked himself in the studio for three days.
20:21He barely eats or sleeps, just keeps writing.
20:24Aria?
20:25You look terrible.
20:27I listened to your song, and I heard the part you left on purpose mine.
20:31Without her, that song isn't complete.
20:33Without her, nothing is right.
20:35You left my part empty.
20:37Nothing feels right without you.
20:42That line is way too cheesy.
20:45You always knew.
20:46I was scared, Liam.
20:48I didn't want space.
20:49I wanted you.
20:50Next, she's gonna sing back the missing part of the song.
20:53Then, with him, slowly sort out everything that's left.
20:57Now, I record my part of the song.
20:59So what now?
21:03Ready when you are.
21:06Keep going.
21:09I think the third take was best.
21:11I think the seventh.
21:12You're wrong.
21:12I'm the professional here.
21:13And I'm the one with the voice you couldn't replace.
21:15And you're always mine.
21:24It's perfect.
21:26You're perfect.
21:28Still cheesy.
21:29I still don't care.
21:30Next, real world problems were put on the table too.
21:33Once this song was released, the whole world would know exactly what our relationship was.
21:38Vincent.
21:39But I stayed calm and dropped a bigger bomb.
21:41I'd already fired Vincent because he was trying to sell our story to the tabloids to promote the album.
21:45Your manager will lose his mind.
21:47Good.
21:48I fired him this morning.
21:49You what?
21:50You're my future.
21:51Easy choice.
21:56Still cheesy.
21:58Still don't care.
22:01Are you ready for your life to change forever?
22:03It already has.
22:05I'm Natasha, Liam's ex-girlfriend.
22:08Liam is really good at making a girl feel like she's the center of the world.
22:11Writing songs for her, making her shine.
22:13Then once the album goes huge, he leaves without looking back.
22:16Okay.
22:16And?
22:17He does this.
22:17He writes songs, makes you feel like everything, then moves on.
22:20Natasha said Liam's whole album, Golden, was pushed to the public as if it were written for her.
22:24Once it went platinum, she never heard from Liam again.
22:26Before she left, she left her business card on the table and told Aria,
22:29Maybe he just realized you weren't worth the second album.
22:31No, but I'm not ignoring it either.
22:33I don't even have her tar.
22:34I don't know what you're talking about.
22:36Your ex-girlfriend introduced herself to me today.
22:39That album wasn't about her.
22:40Vincent told her that because it sold better with a love story attached.
22:42And is this album about me?
22:43Or is it about selling records?
22:45It's about you.
22:46Does that sound like someone running a marketing campaign?
22:49Secrets ruin things faster, Liam.
22:51No more secrets.
22:52Ask me anything.
22:58Everything.
22:59I want to know everything.
23:07Have you seen the numbers?
23:09We broke the streaming record for a debut duet.
23:12I'm not a real artist, Liam.
23:15I know, right?
23:16Tell that to the 30 million people who disagree.
23:19Your father called.
23:20He heard the song.
23:21He wants to talk to you.
23:24The song is beautiful, Aria.
23:27When did you get so talented?
23:30I've always been this way.
23:31You just weren't around to hear it.
23:35I'm sorry, Aria.
23:36Can we try to do this for real?
23:40Okay.
23:41Can we talk?
23:43Really talk?
23:52Yeah, Dad.
23:53We can talk.
23:56How does a 17-year-old high school student end up recording a hit duet with Liam Cross?
24:06Honestly, I fell asleep in my friend's car and he accidentally stole it.
24:11And the viral concert video, people are asking what it means and whether you two are officially,
24:20we're two, two people.
24:22We're two who care about each other and make great music together.
24:29Several labels are interested in signing Aria independently, without you.
24:34I fired you, Vincent.
24:35What are you doing here?
24:36No matter how filthy his motives were, they touched on a question I couldn't bash.
24:41Don't listen to him.
24:42He's trying to divide us.
24:45You think I'm holding you back?
24:47Maybe I should consider my options.
24:49I think I need to figure out who I am in this world.
24:52Okay.
24:57You have a hit song, a potential record deal, and a gorgeous rock star boyfriend,
25:02and you're filling out college applications.
25:05College is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
25:07This moment won't come twice.
25:09The label wants an answer by Monday.
25:11I need to know if you're in.
25:14What would you do, Meg?
25:18You have to decide what you want.
25:20No one gets to choose this life for you.
25:27Your journey has to be your own.
25:30I'm not here to sell Liam's dream or pretend this business is easy.
25:37So what do I do?
25:38What scares you most?
25:39Singing or not singing?
25:50Not singing.
25:51Then you have your answer.
25:57Mom, I got a real recording contract.
26:01I need you to listen before you react.
26:03Absolutely not!
26:05You said you'd listen.
26:07So listen.
26:08I'm not quitting school.
26:10I'll finish senior year and apply to college.
26:13Your father was a musician.
26:15He chose music over everything.
26:17I'm not dad.
26:19That's what terrifies me.
26:21You're better than he ever was.
26:23Then let me try.
26:25Let me prove it.
26:26If your grades drop even half a point.
26:29They won't.
26:30I promise.
26:34What did you decide?
26:35I'm in.
26:36But on my terms.
26:37I wouldn't have it any other way.
26:39We finished this album.
26:40Together.
26:41No fake songs.
26:42It has to be your music.
26:43Deal?
26:47Deal.
26:50I can't believe this is happening.
26:52You literally drove me to the concert that started all of this.
26:55I know.
26:56I take full credit.
26:57Look at you.
26:58Like a star.
27:08Nervous?
27:10Terrified.
27:10How many seconds of courage do you need?
27:12Just a few.
27:14What you need is still only that few seconds of courage.
27:18He was absolutely tantalizing.
27:20And that was what terrified me most about him.
27:23But somewhere between a stolen car and a flat tire and a song left unfinished,
27:28I stopped being afraid.
27:30I decided to stay.
27:36You're rewriting everything.
27:37Don't get cheesy on me now, Rockstar.
27:39You just re-rode the beat of my heart.
27:40You're up there.
27:42You're up there.
27:43This is my place.
27:45And he brought me here.
27:46This is my place.
27:46You
