Falling for My Small Town Enemy Ep
Transcript
00:01Stella Mitchell, get your lazy butt over here and help us out!
00:03900 miles, 14 and a half hours in a car with three stinky brothers and dad's 80s playlist.
00:07And for what? This?
00:08I'm coming, I'm coming.
00:10Grab it, new girl. This one's all yours.
00:14The only reason we moved was dad's work.
00:16A one-time thing, he said.
00:17So now I share a room with Tyler. Yippee.
00:21I called the closet.
00:23Fine, sleep in the closet. I can't be bothered to hang up my clothes anyway.
00:31My friends say I look like my mother.
00:33I wish I could remember her.
00:35She died in a car crash when I was one and a half.
00:38My first word was mama.
00:41How's that for painful irony?
00:44Wake up, star! Dad's ordering pizza!
00:48I wasn't asleep, you moron!
00:53Hi, can I get a large with extra cheese, no other toppings, please?
00:57Maybe I was wrong about moving.
00:58Maybe I can survive without the snowy winters in New York.
01:02Maybe Tennessee won't be that bad.
01:05Look who finally decided to stop moping.
01:11You better not eat all the pizza this time, star.
01:14You're the one who ate an entire pizza by yourself last week.
01:17I was hungry.
01:25Stella!
01:28Five more minutes.
01:30First day.
01:31Get up.
01:32Now.
01:35Wait a minute!
01:38Whoa!
01:44Sadly, this is normal.
01:49Right away, I noticed how severely people were staring.
01:53I'm not from another planet.
01:54Just another state.
01:57Hi, I'm Stella Mitchell.
01:58I was wondering if there's a schedule for me.
02:03Hey, watch it!
02:07You're late.
02:08You're late.
02:09Take a seat, Ethan.
02:11I'm pretty sure my name isn't Ethan.
02:15Oh.
02:16My apologies.
02:18I know, I know.
02:20I'm late.
02:20Again.
02:34Hey!
02:35Look at that!
02:36I just made a potential friend.
02:43Where is he?
02:52Excuse me!
02:53You are excused.
02:56No.
02:57I want you to buy me a new lunch.
02:58What?
03:00You want a bite?
03:01You splattered mine all over me.
03:04I guess I didn't see you there, there shorty.
03:08I don't think that's what I'm asking.
03:10Listen, princess.
03:11You're new here.
03:12You clearly don't know who I am.
03:13First, don't call me princess.
03:15Second, a stupid school status doesn't let you ruin someone's lunch.
03:18Well, it does here.
03:20Build a bridge and get over it.
03:28That was pretty brave.
03:30Standing up to Ethan like that.
03:31I'm Maya, by the way.
03:33I'm Stella, but I prefer Star.
03:35Here.
03:35I'm wearing an extra shirt underneath.
03:37You don't have to.
03:39Take it.
03:40She was so randomly nice.
03:43In New York, I would have been ignored.
03:45Or worse.
03:45Tennessee is such a weird state.
03:51Hi, Dad.
03:52I made a few friends today.
03:54She got a boyfriend, too?
03:56No!
03:57We are not dating!
03:58Who are you even talking about?
03:59That Ethan guy, of course.
04:01I hate him!
04:02He made me spill my coke and ruin my hamburger!
04:05Well, at least you stood up for yourself.
04:08Keep an eye on her.
04:09Dad, I heard that!
04:15Snitches get scritches, you know that, right?
04:18Sweet dreams, Star.
04:24Dad, you feel the shakers backward!
04:27Snitches get snitches!
04:30So, did Dad tell you guys that Star got into a fight?
04:35A fight?
04:36Where are the bruises?
04:38Dude, leave Star alone.
04:39She's not hurt.
04:39You don't need to be so overprotective.
04:43Hey, knock knock.
04:44Who's there?
04:45Oops, I did it again.
04:47Mom wanted to be a stand-up comedian.
04:49Right now, we're fulfilling her dream.
04:56You're sitting alone, not on my watch.
04:59Hey guys, my parents are out this weekend.
05:01I'm throwing a party Friday night.
05:02I'm not really a party person.
05:04Of course she'll go.
05:06What was that for?
05:07That was Lucas Grant.
05:08He throws the best parties.
05:09He's almost as popular as Ethan and Ryan.
05:11Who's Ryan?
05:12Oh my God, girl.
05:13He's the cutest, funnest, strongest guy ever.
05:16I think I can get him to notice you.
05:18Don't you dare.
05:21I thought you liked the other guy.
05:23I'm not allowed to laugh.
05:23Why would you ever want to go to a party?
05:25Maybe I want to try being social instead of curling up on the floor with my phone.
05:29Back me up here.
05:29I'm going too.
05:30I'll make sure she doesn't get lost looking for the bath.
05:34We agreed never to talk about that.
05:36You're not my parent.
05:38Dad said it's fine.
05:39He's protective because he thinks he'll lose me like he lost mom.
05:43It wasn't his fault, but he refuses to let it happen again.
05:47Derek, I'll be careful.
05:49I promise.
05:51Fine.
05:52What am I getting myself into?
06:16Where the hell?
06:16Where the hell are you?
06:17Your brother's already in the car.
06:19Hurry up.
06:21Move, Derek.
06:23Be safe, okay?
06:25Stay close to Taylor or Maya.
06:27I don't want to lose another girl I care about.
06:30I'll be careful.
06:31I promise.
06:34Trying to get someone's attention so soon?
06:39You're wearing shorts and a crop top yourself.
06:42Okay, fair point.
06:43Hey, Star.
06:44Did Maya tell you her last name?
06:47Santos.
06:48Willie Santos.
06:50Willie?
06:56I kept telling myself if it would be there.
06:58But I had to prove I could handle it.
07:01At least, that's what I hoped.
07:08Now I remember why I don't like parties.
07:14Hey, you look like a sweet little treat.
07:32You could have dressed less slutty, you know?
07:35You deserve that.
07:38Come on, Ethan.
07:40That new little brat.
07:45Are you really going to ignore me?
07:49Why should I even look at you?
07:53What are you doing?
07:54Ethan!
07:58Star, he's dancing over there.
08:00He's not following you at all.
08:01Hey, I'm Ryan.
08:02By the way, your name is cute.
08:04Just like you.
08:05Well, I don't-
08:06You have a boyfriend?
08:07Yes.
08:07I'm dating...
08:08Ethan.
08:09Wow.
08:10Good luck with that.
08:12So I'm your boyfriend now?
08:14Oh, shut up.
08:16Tyler went home sick.
08:17Maya's staying over at the party.
08:19I don't have a license.
08:20And I know literally nobody else here.
08:22Stupid shoes.
08:23No.
08:24Stupid me for choosing them.
08:34Why didn't I call someone before my phone died?
08:38Because I'm an idiot.
08:39That's why.
08:43You've gotta be kidding me.
08:48Why couldn't you just let me sleep?
08:51Because you're bleeding in an alley at one in the morning, genius.
08:59Oh my god, Star!
09:02I'm gonna put this on your knee.
09:04Don't kill me.
09:10For finding me.
09:17Don't mention it.
09:18Seriously.
09:19Don't.
09:20Interesting.
09:21He saved me from that creep.
09:22He found me in the rain.
09:24And he's cleaning my cuts at three in the morning.
09:27Maybe Ethan Cole isn't as terrible as I thought.
09:29Or maybe he's worse.
09:30And I'm just too tired to see it.
09:43Star!
09:44What happened to your legs?
09:46I tripped.
09:47It's fine.
09:48That doesn't look fine.
09:50Who did this?
09:51A tree root.
09:53Calm down, Derek.
09:54I'm sorry I left.
09:56I shouldn't have-
09:56You were sick.
09:57It's not your fault.
10:01Sit down.
10:02Tell me everything.
10:03I walked home because I didn't have a ride.
10:05It was raining.
10:06I couldn't see.
10:07I tripped a few times.
10:09Someone from school found me and brought me back to clean the cuts.
10:11That's it.
10:12Who found you?
10:15Just a classmate.
10:18Was it that Ethan kid?
10:19Does it matter?
10:20He helped me.
10:27How did he even get my number?
10:30Unfortunately for you, yes.
10:32Good.
10:33Try not to trip over any more trees.
10:35No.
10:35Absolutely not.
10:37What is wrong with me?
10:45Everyone's talking about how Ethan carried you back from the rain.
10:48He didn't carry me.
10:50That's not the version going around.
10:52Great.
10:53Just great.
11:00Nice of you to join us, Ethan.
11:02Wouldn't miss it.
11:04What is this?
11:07You didn't eat last night.
11:09Figured you'd still be hungry.
11:11I...
11:11Stella?
11:12Something you'd like to share with the class?
11:15No, sir.
11:26So, Star.
11:27How are your war wounds?
11:29I tripped our tree root, Lucas.
11:31It's not a war wound.
11:33Did Ethan really give you trail miss in English?
11:35It's just trail miss.
11:37People are making everything into a big deal.
11:40Hey, Maya.
11:41Mind if I sit?
11:42Maybe I was wrong about this place.
11:45People actually notice you here.
11:47Whether that's a good thing...
11:49I'm still deciding.
11:56Partner project.
11:58Pairs.
11:58No switching.
12:00Pairs.
12:01Stella Mitchell and Ethan Cole.
12:04You have got to be kidding me.
12:08This should be fun, Shorty.
12:10Mr. Collins?
12:11Can I switch partners?
12:13No switching means no switching.
12:16No switching means no switching.
12:20So, partner.
12:22When do you want to meet?
12:23Never would be ideal.
12:24Come on, Star.
12:25You care about your grades too much to blow this off.
12:28How do you know that?
12:29You squint at the board like your life depends on copying every word.
12:34Fine.
12:35Library.
12:36Tomorrow.
12:36After school.
12:37Don't be late.
12:41When am I ever late?
12:43Every single day.
12:45There is no love story.
12:46He's rude, arrogant, and he brought me trail mix one time, Maya.
12:50That's it.
12:51She's in denial.
12:54What's this about a love story?
12:55Nothing!
13:07You're 20 minutes late.
13:09I brought a peace offering.
13:11This doesn't excuse anything.
13:12Sit down.
13:14I narrowed it down.
13:16Prejudy, Gaspi, or Mockingbird?
13:18Pride and Prejudice.
13:19Obviously.
13:20You've read it?
13:22I've read a lot of things.
13:23Don't look so shocked.
13:26Sorry.
13:27I just didn't peg you as the reading type.
13:30And I didn't peg you as the judging a book by its cover type.
13:33Ironic, considering the assignment.
13:36Fine.
13:37Pride and Prejudice it is.
13:40Do you need glasses?
13:42No.
13:43You're squinting so hard your face is going to fold in half.
13:46I have glasses.
13:47I just don't like wearing them.
13:48People made fun of me.
13:49Wear them.
13:50Anyone who makes fun of you for seeing clearly is the real idiot.
13:55Did you just say something genuinely nice?
13:57Don't get used to it.
13:58I just don't think so.
13:59It feels so funny.
14:01So Ryan talked to me again at lunch today.
14:03And?
14:03He asked what kind of music I like.
14:05That's basically a marriage proposal, right?
14:07Maybe a slight stretch.
14:08Okay but here's the thing.
14:09Lucas's birthday is next week and he's having a small hangout at his house.
14:12Ryan will be there.
14:12And you need my help because?
14:14Because I turn into a tomato every time he looks at me.
14:16I need you to be my wing mater.
14:19Maya, I can barely talk to people.
14:20How am I supposed to help you?
14:21You stood up to Ethan Cole on your first day.
14:24I turn into a tomato around Ryan.
14:26Please.
14:28Fine.
14:29But you owe me chicken nuggets for a week.
14:31Deal!
14:31Best reference status reinstated.
14:38So?
14:39How was your library date with Ethan?
14:41It was not a date.
14:43It was a project meeting.
14:44Sure.
14:45What book did you pick?
14:47Pride and Prejudity.
14:49The one about two people who hate each other and then fall in love?
14:52Real subtle.
14:53Get back in your closet Tyler!
14:58Chapter 3 summary done.
15:00You're welcome.
15:01Finally contributing something useful.
15:08Idiot.
15:11Ryan's by the snack table.
15:13Go talk to him.
15:15I can't feel my legs.
15:22For the love of...
15:25Hey Ryan!
15:27Maya was just saying how she loved that playlist you posted.
15:30Which one was it again, Maya?
15:33The...
15:33The indie rock one?
15:35You listened to indie rock?
15:37No way!
15:38Smooth moves, Wing Mather.
15:40I learned from watching zero rom-coms.
15:46Didn't expect to see you at another social thing after last time.
15:50It's a hangout.
15:52It's a hangout.
15:52Very different energy.
15:54That guy got suspended.
15:56The one from the party?
15:57I didn't know that.
15:59Wasn't gonna let that slide.
16:01Eat!
16:01It's my birthday!
16:02No brooding allowed!
16:05For the first time, I saw something behind his ego.
16:11Something almost...
16:12Human.
16:14About the thesis argument, I was thinking we could focus on how Elizabeth's prejudice blinds her to Darcy's true character.
16:21And how Darcy's pride makes him act like a jerk, even if he doesn't mean to.
16:28That's... surprisingly insightful.
16:30Maybe I get the guy.
16:33What do you mean?
16:36Nothing. Forget it.
16:38Ethan.
16:39Drop it, Star.
16:44You okay?
16:45I have to go.
16:46I'll finish the outline tonight and send it to you.
16:53What do you know about Ethan's home life?
16:57Why are you asking?
16:58He got a text and just completely shut down.
17:03One minute we were actually talking, and the next he was gone.
17:07His parents got divorced.
17:09His dad...
17:10Isn't great.
17:11That's all I know.
17:12No one talks about it because Ethan won't let them.
17:15That explains a lot.
17:16Star, I know that look.
17:18Don't try to save him.
17:19I'm not trying to save anyone.
17:20I just...
17:21Want to understand him.
17:22That's how it always starts.
17:24Everyone has walls.
17:25Mine are made of shininess and sarcasm.
17:26His are made of pride and anger.
17:28Maybe that's why we keep crashing into each other.
17:29We both just don't want anyone to get inside.
17:35Just put them on.
17:36You look fine.
17:37Nobody asked you.
17:44Star, you wear glasses?
17:47So cool!
17:48Really?
17:49Oh my god!
17:50You look like a cute librarian!
17:52I love it!
17:57You actually put them on?
17:59Yeah, well...
18:00Someone told me only idiots make fun of people for wanting to see clearly.
18:03That someone is pretty smart.
18:07You look good in those glasses.
18:09Thanks.
18:10It's okay.
18:11Those glasses are so grandma chic, new girl.
18:14Nice personality, Jessica.
18:15Oh wait.
18:16You don't have one.
18:19Hmph.
18:20You didn't have to do that.
18:22I know.
18:23He's so infuriating.
18:25He's rude.
18:26He's arrogant.
18:27But he just defended my glasses in front of the entire hallway.
18:30How am I supposed to deal with that?
18:34Elizabeth Bennet judges Darcy based on first impressions.
18:37What she sees behind the arrogance is actually...
18:41Insecurity.
18:42Darcy acts like a jerk because he doesn't know how to be vulnerable.
18:44His pride is a shield, not his nature.
18:48The argument is simple.
18:50Sometimes the people we clash with the most are the ones who reflect our own flaws back at us.
18:55We're fighting something familiar in ourselves.
19:02Excellent work, you two.
19:04A.
19:09Not bad for a girl from New York.
19:11Not bad for a guy who's late every day.
19:14That presentation was amazing!
19:17The tension!
19:18The tension!
19:19The eye contact!
19:20It was like watching a movie!
19:22It was a school project, Maya.
19:24About a book.
19:25About two people who hate each other, but fall in love!
19:30Don't.
19:31Anyway, Ethan's never gotten an A in Colin's class.
19:33He actually tried this time.
19:35He tried.
19:37For the presentation.
19:38For...
19:39Us?
19:40No.
19:41For the grade.
19:42Definitely for the grade.
19:44Right?
19:46Jack.
19:47Hey.
19:48You're Star, right?
19:49I'm Jack.
19:50Just transferred from Georgia.
19:53Stella.
19:53Another transfer?
19:55Welcome to the chaos.
19:57Thanks.
19:58Hey, could you show me around?
19:59I'm totally lost.
20:00Sure.
20:01I know the feeling.
20:02Come on.
20:16You're from New York?
20:17That's so cool.
20:19I've always wanted to go.
20:20Overrated.
20:21Too cold.
20:22Too expensive.
20:23Too many pigeons.
20:27Dude, are you trying to murder that pasta?
20:30I'm fine.
20:34So you're a full-time campus tour guide now?
20:36He's new.
20:37I was just being nice.
20:38Is that a crime?
20:39Not a crime, but maybe don't be so... friendly.
20:42Are you seriously telling me who I can talk to?
20:44I'm telling you to be careful.
20:46That's my brother's job, not yours.
20:47You can't try to protect me and pretend you don't care at the same time, Ethan.
20:50Pick one.
20:55Was that... jealousy?
20:57No.
20:58No way.
20:59Right?
21:03I said I'm not coming back tonight.
21:05Because every time I do, you dad, stop!
21:07Stop!
21:14How much did you hear?
21:15Enough to know you're not okay.
21:17Why?
21:21I'm fine.
21:22Mind your own business.
21:26When I say I'm fine, it usually means the opposite.
21:29We're not the same, Star.
21:31No.
21:32But we both lost a parent.
21:35Just in different ways.
21:37You don't know what you're talking about.
21:39Maybe not.
21:40But I know what it looks like when someone's carrying too much alone.
21:44I see it in my brother Derek every day.
21:47My dad drinks.
21:48After the divorce, it got worse.
21:51He says things.
21:53Does things.
21:54Everyone thinks I have the perfect life.
21:57I've gotten good at pretending.
22:00You don't have to pretend with me.
22:02Why are you being nice to me?
22:04I've been nothing but a jerk to you.
22:06Someone once told me people who act the worst are usually hurting the most.
22:11Maybe it was a fortune couple.
22:17Come on.
22:18I'm buying you a milkshake.
22:27I'm sorry.
22:29For the cafeteria.
22:30For the party.
22:31For the nicknames.
22:32For everything.
22:33You deserve better from day once.
22:35E.
22:40Why are you smiling at your locker?
22:43I'm not smiling.
22:45Your face is literally doing the opposite of frowning.
22:49Ethan Cole.
22:51On time.
22:52Should I call an ambulance?
22:54Don't make a big deal out of it.
23:00Alright.
23:01Let's get started.
23:04For the note.
23:07It's just trail mix.
23:08I'm not talking about the trail mix.
23:10Apology accepted.
23:12But you still owe me a hamburger from day one.
23:15How about after school?
23:16Diner on 5th.
23:17Best burgers in town.
23:19I suppose I can pencil you in.
23:23It's a date.
23:25It's a hamburger.
23:27Whatever you say, Star.
23:31I saw that.
23:32Saw what?
23:43Okay, this is incredible.
23:44You're forgiven.
23:45See?
23:46I'm not completely useless.
23:48Jury's still out on that.
23:50Can I ask you something?
23:51Why do you care so much about being popular?
23:53Because if people think you're on top,
23:54they don't look close enough to see you're falling apart.
23:57That sounds exhausting.
24:00It is.
24:02What would you do if you didn't have to pretend?
24:05I'd probably read more.
24:06Draw.
24:07I used to sketch when I was a kid before my dad said it was a waste of time.
24:11You draw?
24:13Drew.
24:14Past temps.
24:16Maybe it shouldn't be.
24:21What about you?
24:22What would you do if you weren't so scared of people?
24:24I'm not scared of-
24:26Star.
24:27I'd probably actually talk in class.
24:29Join a club.
24:30Stop eating lunch in survival mode.
24:32You should.
24:33You're funnier than you think.
24:35Shut up.
24:36I'm serious.
24:37You literally slapped me at a party.
24:39That takes guts.
24:41That was adrenaline, not guts.
24:43Same thing.
24:44I owe you, remember?
24:47Fine.
24:47But next time, I'm paying.
24:49Next time?
24:50I mean, if there is a next time, which there probably won't.
24:54Saturday?
24:55Same place?
24:57Fine.
25:01You seem happier lately.
25:05Tennessee's growing on me.
25:07Is that all?
25:08Or is there a boy growing on you too?
25:10Dad!
25:10Tyler told me you've been studying with someone named Ethan.
25:13The same Ethan from the cafeteria incident?
25:15Tyler needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.
25:18Star, look at me.
25:19Your mother fell in love at 16.
25:21She told me once that the scariest thing about love isn't getting hurt.
25:24It's refusing to let yourself feel it because you're afraid.
25:28Don't be afraid.
25:29But what if Derek-
25:30Derek is protected because he loves you.
25:32But he doesn't get to live your life for you, neither do I.
25:34Just be smart.
25:36Be safe.
25:36And if this boy ever hurts you, your three brothers and I will handle it.
25:39That's comforting and terrifying.
25:41Mom fell in love at 16.
25:42Maybe I'm more like her than I thought.
25:47Derek?
25:49Yeah?
25:51If I ever liked someone, would you give them a chance?
25:58Before threatening them?
26:02Depends.
26:03Does he make you happy?
26:04Yeah.
26:05I think he might.
26:07Then I'll give him exactly one chance.
26:09That's all I'm asking.
26:10But if he blows it-
26:11I know, I know.
26:12Snitch gets stitches and all that.
26:15He invited me to the fall carnival.
26:17Who?
26:17Ryan!
26:18Ryan invited me to the fall carnival!
26:20Finally!
26:21What did you say?
26:22I panicked and said, I'll check my schedule.
26:25Maya Santos!
26:26No you didn't!
26:27I know!
26:27What do I do?
26:28You text him right now and say yes!
26:31He said, with his can't wait, a smiley face star!
26:34A smiley face star!
26:35I knew it!
26:36What's going on?
26:37Love is happening, Lucas!
26:38Keep walking!
26:39Are you going to the fall festival?
26:41Maybe.
26:42Maya's going with Ryan.
26:44That's not what I asked.
26:47What exactly are you asking, Nathan?
26:51Do you want to go?
26:53With me?
26:54Like, as friends?
26:56Like however you want it to be.
26:59Okay?
27:01Okay?
27:02Don't make me say it again.
27:04Okay.
27:09I have to admit, New York doesn't have anything like this.
27:12Tennessee has its perks.
27:14Watch this.
27:20Wow!
27:21Impressive!
27:22The rings are rigged!
27:30You were saying?
27:32How?
27:33I spent a lot of lonely weekends at Coney Island Arcades.
27:36Hand-eye coordination is the only athletic skill I have.
27:39Here.
27:40A reminder that I'm better than you at something.
27:50I hate you.
27:52No, you don't.
28:02It's beautiful up here.
28:05Yeah.
28:05It is.
28:08Ethan.
28:09Yeah?
28:11If you're gonna kiss me, just know that I'll probably miss.
28:21I didn't miss.
28:22I didn't miss.
28:22No.
28:23You didn't.
28:27I'll get it!
28:28Nobody move!
28:32Hi.
28:33I'm Ethan.
28:34I'm here to pick up Star.
28:35I know who you are.
28:36Come in.
28:38Oh, hey.
28:39It's the guy from the cafeteria who ruined my sister's shirt.
28:42Classic.
28:42Tyler.
28:43So you're Ethan.
28:45Sit down.
28:47What are your intentions with my daughter?
28:49Dad, this isn't a job interview.
28:51Sir, I just want to spend time with Star.
28:53She's the most honest person I've ever met.
28:55I'd never heard her.
28:55You know she's my little sister.
28:57And you know what happened in that cafeteria on her first day.
28:59I do.
29:00And I'm not proud of it.
29:02I was a jerk.
29:04She called me out on it and she was right.
29:08Alright, he passed the vibe check.
29:10Let him go.
29:11One chance.
29:12That's what she asked me to give you.
29:14Don't waste it.
29:15I won't, sir.
29:17Have her home by 10 or we're sending a search party.
29:19With dogs!
29:23I am so sorry about that.
29:26Your brother Derek is terrifying.
29:27He's a teddy bear.
29:29A six foot overprotective teddy bear.
29:31I think I'd rather face him again than your dad stare.
29:32Welcome to the Mitchell family.
29:40Hey.
29:41What happened to your hand?
29:42Nothing.
29:43I hit a wall.
29:44Walls don't hit back, Ethan.
29:47Just leave it alone, Star.
29:49Please.
29:53Something happened this weekend.
29:55After he dropped me off.
29:57He won't talk to me.
30:00Did you check if he went home?
30:03To his dads?
30:04Oh no.
30:07Star, you can't just show up at his house.
30:11I'm not going to his house.
30:13But I'm not going to pretend everything's fine either.
30:22He was drunk again.
30:24Said I was the reason mom left.
30:26Threw a bottle.
30:27Missed, but...
30:28That's not true.
30:29You know that's not true.
30:31Knowing it and believing it are two different things.
30:40You don't have to go back there tonight.
30:41I don't have anywhere else.
30:44Yes, you do.
30:45Dad, I need to ask you something and I need you to not freak out.
30:49That's never a good start.
30:50Ethan's dad is... not safe.
30:53He can't go home tonight.
30:55Can he stay here on the couch just for tonight?
30:59Your mother took in every stray cat in the neighborhood.
31:02I suppose I can take in one stray boy.
31:04Bring him in.
31:06Couch.
31:07Door stays open.
31:08Any funny business and I sleepwalk with a baseball bat.
31:12Seriously.
31:17There's leftover potato soup in the fridge.
31:19Don't use the salt shaker.
31:25You okay?
31:27Your family is insane in the best way.
31:31We're a mess.
31:32But we're a mess together.
31:33I forgot what that felt like.
31:35Get some sleep, Ethan.
31:37You're safe here.
31:50Ethan, what you've described is serious.
31:52We're required to report this.
31:54I know.
31:55That's why I'm here.
31:57That took a lot of courage.
32:01Someone reminded me that I don't have to carry everything alone.
32:07How did it go?
32:09They're going to call my mom and some other people.
32:13It's gonna get messy.
32:14Messy is better than broken.
32:18When did you get so wise?
32:20I've always been wise.
32:22You were just too busy calling me shorty to notice.
32:28For not giving up on me.
32:30Someone has to keep you in line.
32:32So Star, be honest.
32:34On a scale of one to ten, how much did you hate Tennessee on day one?
32:39Eleven.
32:40And now?
32:41Maybe a two.
32:43Only a two?
32:44Don't push it.
32:49Dad?
32:50Dad!
32:51What is it?
32:52Your mother wrote that.
32:54Before the accident.
32:55She wrote one for each of you to be open when you turned sixteen.
32:58I put yours in your favorite book so you'd find it yourself.
33:01I forgot I'd done that.
33:10My dearest Stella.
33:12If you're reading this, you're sixteen.
33:14And I'm probably embarrassing you from somewhere far away.
33:17I want you to know three things.
33:19First, you are braver than you believe.
33:21Second, the people who challenge you the most are often the ones who change you the most.
33:25Third, and this is the important one.
33:28Never let anyone make you smaller than you are.
33:31Not a bully.
33:32Not a boy.
33:33Not even your own fear.
33:34I love you more than every star in the sky.
33:43I wish she could see me now.
33:45Baby, she sees you.
33:47She always has.
33:50My mom wrote me a letter before she died.
33:52She told me to never let anyone make me smaller than I am.
33:56She sounds like she knew exactly who you'd become.
33:59I think she'd like you.
34:01Eventually.
34:02After threatening you first.
34:06I'm not small anymore, Mom.
34:08I promise.
34:16This is harder than it looks.
34:21Soda is here.
34:25Your backyard is adorable!
34:27It's the size of a postage pant, but thank you.
34:32Nice party, Star.
34:33It's a housewarming.
34:34We've only been here two months late on throwing it.
34:36Better late than never.
34:39You drew this?
34:40You told me I should start again.
34:42So I did.
34:43And I figured I'd start with my favorite subject.
34:47That was the smoothest thing you've ever said.
34:49Don't get used to it.
34:51Too late.
34:51I know this move wasn't easy.
34:54I dragged you all 900 miles from everything you knew.
34:57But looking around this table, I think we ended up exactly where we were supposed to be.
35:01It's a mom.
35:02She would have loved us.
35:03It's a mom.
35:04900 miles.
35:0514 hours in a car.
35:06Three stinky brothers.
35:07One 80's playlist.
35:09And somehow I ended up here.
35:10With a best friend who loaned me her jacket on day one.
35:12A boy who went from my worst enemy to my favorite person.
35:15And a family that drives me absolutely insane but would go to war for me without a second thought.
35:19Mom asked me to be brave.
35:21I think I finally am.
35:25Hey.
35:26Yeah?
35:28Tennessee isn't that bad.
35:30Told you.
