Hello, I'm Lily from Estonia.

I grew up in an orphanage with my brother Joe.

He's two years older than me and we're total opposites.

But before I continue, please like and subscribe and you might get a kiss from your true love.

My big brother Joe had shiny blonde hair and blue eyes and he always got all the attention.

Look at this gorgeous kid.

He's so beautiful.

But I was the opposite.

I had dark hair and dark brown eyes and my skin wasn't as fair and no one ever said I was pretty.

They hardly noticed me at all.

Joe was tall and outgoing and everybody liked him.

I was short for my age and the mean girls loved to tease me.

Aw, poor Lily.

She's just so ugly.

How does it feel to be a loser with a perfect brother?

But Joe always had my back.

Maybe you should learn to respect others.

Oh, for you, Joe, I'll learn anything.

I'll learn how to respect others and how to cook and clean.

I'll even learn how to give birth.

You don't learn how to give birth.

You just give birth.

I agree.

You're right.

You're so smart.

See, Joe?

and I respected her.

Now love me, Joe, please.

In school, things weren't much better.

Joe was super smart and almost a genius.

Joe, that's amazing.

A perfect score.

I could barely pass my exams, and I had a hard time paying attention in class.

Sometimes I talked to the other kids when I wasn't supposed to, and I got out of my seat and I ran around the room, but I couldn't help it.

Lily, sit down.

Most of the teachers didn't like me at all.

One time I was in grumpy old Miss Copple's

to go to the bathroom the break just ended two minutes

ago you couldn't go then oh wait you were busy playing

the only thing you do in school no bathroom for you

but it's an emergency miss copple didn't budge i tried to hold it

but a minute later i peed my pants joe caught me

crying in the hallway what's wrong miss copple wouldn't let me go to the bathroom joe's face turned bright red

and he old lady like you shouldn't be teaching.

You should be at home fighting with your husband who's lost his hearing

because of your constant screaming and will go blind soon looking at your hideous face.

Miss Koppel sent Joe to the principal's office and he got detention for two weeks.

I felt so bad.

I'm sorry I'm weird and stupid and always causing trouble.

Don't say that about yourself, Lily.

None of that is true.

Yes, it is.

You're just pretending it's not.

Don't worry about me and my problems.

I'll handle them on my own.

You don't have to be my big brother anymore.

No way.

I'll always be your big brother, and I'll always have your back, no matter what.

And one day, I hope you'll see how special and smart and beautiful you are.

Joe hugged me, and I cried like a big baby.

Then one day, the most amazing thing happened.

We were adopted by a really nice couple.

They had a big house, Joe and I got our own rooms, and new clothes.

I was nervous at first because school was still hard, and I always got distracted.

I was scared that my new teachers would hate me too, but then my new parents took me to the doctor.

Lily has ADHD, which means she's a bit hyperactive and has trouble paying attention, but she's a smart girl.

Her IQ is well above average.

I went to therapy for a while to help me learn to stay focused.

It was difficult at first, but Joe and my parents were really supportive,

and eventually I got of the month for best behavior.

When Joe and I reached high school, our lives totally changed.

One day, Joe and I were hanging out at the mall when a strange woman ran up to us.

Your face is a work of art.

Have you ever thought of being a model?

Not really.

I.. stick with me, darling.

I'm gonna make you a star.

The woman was a modeling agent.

Joe signed a contract with her, and soon, every other weekend, he was doing photo shoots all over the city.

My life was much better, of new friends, and when I looked in the mirror for the first time, I liked what I saw.

Especially since my mom always told me how pretty I was, and that I should love myself just as I am.

I had a newfound confidence, and everyone noticed.

Even though Joe and I weren't together all the time, we were still close.

We had our own lives, and that was okay.

We were always there for each other.

Then one day, our dad got a new job, and we moved across town.

Another family, twice as rich as my acting strange.

He was really dying to meet her.

"Oh, love at first sight?

Something only beautiful people do?

Why don't you just go over there and say hello?" "Just say hello?

It's not that easy.

It has to be just right.

She's my destiny.

She's my true love.

We're meant to be." We started thinking of ways to make them meet.

What made it harder was that she was homeschooled.

We saw a lot of sophisticated teachers coming and leaving the house.

Joe took one of my shirts and but a maid opened the door and took it, then slammed the door in Joe's face.

100

One time, I saw the mystery girl leaving her house, and I started calling out random names.

101

Emily!

102

Sarah!

103

Anna!

104

Amber!

105

But she still didn't look up.

106

A couple of weeks passed, and I thought Joe would have moved on, but he was still determined to meet this girl.

107

He hatched a new plan every day, but none of them worked.

108

I needed a break, so I snuck off to the park to sketch.

109

As I was sketching an oak tree, I heard someone walk up behind me.

110

me.

111

Those are pretty good.

112

Your shading and detail are amazing.

113

I froze.

114

I'd never shown anyone my drawings before.

115

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

116

The boy's name was Ryan.

117

He was a couple of years older than me, and he was a talented artist.

118

We talked for hours.

119

Every time he looked into my eyes, my heart skipped a beat.

120

Jeez, I'm sorry.

121

I didn't realize it was so late.

122

I have to go.

123

Maybe we could meet up tomorrow and, uh, talk about art?

124

Sorry, I can't.

125

I was such a dork.

126

What out.

127

He must already have a girlfriend.

128

I wanted to crawl into a hole.

129

It's okay.

130

Sorry, I asked.

131

No, it's not like that.

132

I'd love to see you again, but I'm leaving for New York tomorrow for art school.

133

My heart sank.

134

This doesn't have to be goodbye.

135

Ryan pulled out one of his sketches from his notebook.

136

He wrote his phone number on the back and gave it to me.

137

I want you to have it.

138

I can't take this.

139

You can give it back when I see you again.

140

On my walk home, every time I thought about Ryan, I couldn't help but smile.

141

I turned the corner onto my street, and then I saw something girl was scaling the side of her house like a cat burglar.

142

I hid behind a tree and texted Joe, but then the girl came charging at me like a maniac.

143

She tried to grab my phone.

144

Give it to me.

145

Let go, you crazy girl.

146

My phone slipped out of my hand, fell to the ground, and broke.

147

I was so mad.

148

I turned to yell at her, but then she started bawling like a big baby.

149

I'm sorry about your phone.

150

I just didn't know what to do.

151

Her name was Sophia, and her parents made her break See him or talk to him.

152

My heart's been ripped to pieces.

153

It hurts so bad.

154

Please, make it stop.

155

Don't cry.

156

Things will be okay.

157

How?

158

Thankfully, Joe walked up just then.

159

Sophia took one look at him and got all googly -eyed.

160

Then she got confused.

161

I can't do this.

162

Sophia pushed Joe and ran away crying.

163

The next day, Sophia showed up at her door.

164

What I did to you wasn't cool.

165

I was having a hard I'm broken.

166

Excuse me.

167

If I could just squeeze past you.

168

Each time life smiles at me, bad things happen shortly after.

169

I fell in love with our gardener's son.

170

It was a secret because I knew my parents would never approve.

171

I don't know how, but they found out and things got really bad.

172

I'm so sorry.

173

If you could just step to the side a bit.

174

I could get out of your way and they fired him and his father and forced me to break up with him.

175

Then they took my phone and homeschooled me for a while.

176

My dad is an important politician and he can't risk his reputation.

177

And now every morning I wake up in a puddle of tears.

178

That's so sad.

179

Yes, very sad.

180

I've got an idea.

181

Why don't you two be friends?

182

It might make you both feel better.

183

Over the next few months, Joe and Sophia started getting closer clothes, buying Sophia fancy gifts.

184

And he'd brag to Sophia and her parents about how much money he made modeling.

185

Once, Sophia's parents invited us for dinner.

186

"Oh, neighbors, you have such a strong, confident, independent young man.

187

I bet girls are fighting over him all the time." "Yes, but I have eyes only for one girl." As Joe looked at Sophia and she blushed, everyone noticed the two and smiled.

188

"Oh, this is wonderful.

189

We've been so worried about Sophia.

190

I'm so happy she's found She was tricked and manipulated by a dirty poor boy that stole her heart.

191

Ugh, poor people.

192

You can't trust any of them.

193

They're all liars and cheats.

194

That's not true.

195

Ugh, you sweet, naive girl.

196

You'll learn soon enough.

197

Then Sophia's parents laughed at me, like what I said was some big joke.

198

I'm not naive.

199

You're just wrong.

200

Joe and I used to be poor.

201

We're not liars and cheats.

202

We're not dirty, and we're not bad people. Of course.

203

Who knew an adopted orphan could be so perfect?

204

You guys hit the jackpot with your son.

205

Your daughter, well, she's now Sophia.

206

You're right about that, honey.

207

Joe lowered his head.

208

My parents looked away.

209

And I was about to explode.

210

What's that supposed to mean?

211

Thank you for the meal.

212

We must get going.

213

When we got home, my parents sat me and Joe down for a talk.

214

Joe, we don't want you seeing Sophia anymore.

215

No, that's not happening.

216

I love her.

217

You can't yelling at Dad.

218

"Son, what her parents said about your sister is unacceptable.

219

They were just joking.

220

They're really nice once you get to know them." Are you blind?

221

Sophia's parents are jerks, and ever since you've been hanging out with them, you've changed.

222

"If I have to impress Sophia's parents to get their blessing, then I'll do it.

223

True love is worth it.

224

But you wouldn't know anything about love.

225

You've never had a boyfriend, and you look like you sleep in a trash can.

226

Don't talk to your sister like that.

227

That's enough.

228

No more Sophia, and that's final." Then Joe got mad and shoved Dad.

229

Dad fell and hit his head hard on her the table.

230

"Dad !" I rushed to Dad's side.

231

He was really hurt.

232

Mom called the ambulance.

233

Then I looked up and saw Joe.

234

I'm sorry.

235

Joe ran out of the house.

236

Dad had a minor concussion and we spent the night in the emergency room.

237

By the time we got back home, all of Joe's things were gone.

238

We heard from the neighbors that he and Sophia moved into her parents' villa in Paris.

239

Dad was weak after the injury, so I helped him out at the office.

240

Staying on top of my schoolwork and I tried calling Joe,

241

but he never answered, which made me really sad.

242

My new friend Ryan always found ways to cheer me up.

243

He sent me funny sketches and MSA videos.

244

One summer, he came back to town, and we sat under the oak tree.

245

We saw a boy and a girl playing on the swings, and I started to cry.

246

What's wrong?

247

I miss my brother.

248

He was my best friend, and always had my back.

249

I'm scared I'll never see him again.

250

He's your brother, and he could never stop loving you.

251

I'm sure he'll come back to you one day.

252

I drew a picture of me and Joe.

253

Ryan encouraged me to study art, and eventually, I started selling my drawings.

254

Five years later, we got married in a small ceremony in our backyard, and soon after, we had a baby.

255

But there were complications.

256

I felt this horrible pain, and the machine started to beep.

257

As the doctors raced to save me, I cried out, Joe!

258

My brother!

259

Joe!

260

Come to me!

261

Then, I fainted.

262

I woke up from a coma two days later, and when I opened my eyes, With tears in their eyes, "Joe?

263

Yes, Lily.

264

"Is that you?" "Yes, I'm here.

265

I'm sorry, Lily.

266

I'm so sorry for everything." I looked up at my parents.

267

They smiled and nodded.

268

I knew from the look in their eyes that they'd forgiven Joe and wanted me to do the same.

269

"You broke our promise.

270

You said you'd always have my back, but you chose Sophia and her parents over us." "My parents are just mean and have been controlling my life since forever.

271

We had enough and we couldn't take it anymore.

272

So we left and they cut us off." "But it's been so hard.

273

I couldn't find work.

274

We barely had enough money for food and rent, but I was ashamed to come back and ask for help." broke your family.

275

We didn't want to make things worse.

276

Then, we heard you were in a coma, so we came immediately.

277

I couldn't let you down again.

278

Lily, I'm not asking you to forgive me.

279

I'm asking you to let me earn the privilege to be your big brother again.

280

You'll always be my big brother.

281

I just wanted to see you.

282

I would have helped you no matter what.

283

Then Joe hugged me and I hugged him back.
