Transcript
00:00Most of us start our lives in a hospital as newborn babies, but not me, no siree!
00:05I started my life in a hospital too, yes, but as an adult.
00:09I opened my eyes, feeling woozy and numb.
00:12I felt like I'd been struck by a freight train.
00:15She's up! She's finally up!
00:16Nurses and doctors surrounded me from all sides, examining me excitedly.
00:21What? What's going on?
00:22Can you tell us who you are?
00:24I'm me. Who else am I supposed to be? The Queen of England?
00:28Your name. What's your name?
00:30I racked my brain trying to remember, but I just couldn't.
00:34In fact, I couldn't remember anything.
00:36It was like my brain was filled with dust bunnies.
00:39What was my name?
00:40Hi, I'm Harper. Yeah, I know my name now.
00:43And I woke up in a hospital bed one day with no clue who I am.
00:47But before I continue my crazy story, please like and subscribe.
00:50There was nothing wrong with me, except, you know, my amnesia.
00:53The doctor told me my name, that I was 18 years old,
00:56and apparently, I've been unconscious since an accident I'd had two weeks ago.
01:00But what she said next turned my world upside down.
01:04Both of your parents are in jail.
01:06My jaw dropped to the floor.
01:08I was the daughter of some criminals?
01:10Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the doctors decided to kick me out.
01:14I mean, release me from the hospital.
01:17No other friends or family came forward, so you'll have to manage on your own.
01:21How on earth am I supposed to do that? I barely know my own name.
01:25You're physically and mentally fine, and you'll start to regain your memory over time.
01:29Here are your belongings, and I've called you a cab to your home address.
01:33That's where we'll be sending you the bill to. Now, goodbye.
01:36And then she practically pushed me out the door.
01:38Just, wow. I hoped I wasn't some kind of weird loser or creepy pariah.
01:43I mean, seriously, what kind of person has no friends or family to show up for them?
01:47Forget going home. I needed to find my parents, whatever their names were.
01:51They'd give me the answers I needed.
01:53I turned my attention to my so-called belongings, which consisted of a purse.
01:57I rummaged inside, hoping something would spark a memory.
02:00But it just felt like I was going through someone else's stuff.
02:03I found a phone, wallet, keys, and a chocolate bar. Yum.
02:07I turned on the phone, but it needed a passcode to unlock it.
02:10I typed a few different combinations, but none of them worked.
02:13And then my phone locked me out for guessing wrong too many times.
02:17Just then, a black Mercedes screeched to a stop right in front of me.
02:21A really cute boy a little older than me poked his head out the window, staring at me in shock.
02:26Harper, oh my gosh. Are you okay? I've been searching for you everywhere.
02:30Um, who are you? I have amnesia.
02:33He jumped out of the car and ran to me.
02:35Really? So you don't remember anything?
02:38No, duh. That's how amnesia works.
02:40This guy was a pretty package, but he wasn't too smart.
02:43I'm Mason, your neighbor. And, well, your friend.
02:47My friend?
02:48Mason pulled out his phone and showed me a photo of the two of us together smiling.
02:52We looked good together.
02:53Have you spoken to your parents?
02:55Not yet. My stupid phone's locked, and I can't remember the password.
02:59Mason put his hand on my shoulder.
03:01Don't worry about it. I'm here now.
03:03Just then, I heard heavenly music play as the skies opened up,
03:07and a bright light shined down on my head, and then butterflies danced around me.
03:11I wasn't a weirdo. I had a friend.
03:13Plus, he was a cutie. And he smelled amazing.
03:16Mason offered to drive me home.
03:18I'd like to see my parents first, but I don't know what jail they're in.
03:21Don't worry. I'll find out and arrange a visit.
03:24Just then, my stomach let out a loud growl.
03:27But first, let's get you some pizza. We can grab a slice down the corner.
03:30A slice? I haven't eaten in two weeks, man!
03:33Mason laughed and bought me an extra-large pizza before taking me home.
03:37Twenty minutes later, we pulled up to a luxurious apartment building.
03:41Wow. Is this where I live?
03:43Yep, this is where we both live. I mean, I live one floor below you.
03:46Mason was the perfect gentleman.
03:49He helped me out of the car, opened every door for me, and generously tipped the doorman.
03:54As we rode the elevator to the penthouse floor,
03:56Mason's hand brushed against mine, and my heart skipped a beat.
03:59Mason said we were just friends, but it felt like we were so much more.
04:03I thought to ask him, but I was too shy.
04:06What if he didn't like me that way and was just being nice?
04:09I didn't want to scare him off, so I stayed quiet.
04:11My apartment was huge and so fancy inside,
04:15with expensive furniture, exquisite paintings, and crystal chandeliers.
04:19A family portrait hung on a wall with a gold-plated frame, and I paused in front of it.
04:24My parents looked like really nice people.
04:26Mason, what are my parents' names, and why are they in jail?
04:30Suddenly, he looked really uncomfortable.
04:33Um, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison did some illegal stuff, but I don't know the details. I'm sorry.
04:38Then Mason told me he had to go, and I was all alone in my so-called home.
04:43I roamed around, touching and smelling things, trying to get my memory back, but nothing worked.
04:48I tried to open my phone again, but I still couldn't unlock it.
04:51I started to get tired, so I tossed it on my dresser and went to bed.
04:54The next day, Mason showed up at my doorstep looking all swoon-worthy,
04:59with his dark eyes and his movie star hair.
05:02I've got something for you.
05:03He showed me a perfectly wrapped gift.
05:05I tore off the paper and found a new phone inside.
05:08I know you can't unlock yours, so I got you a new one.
05:11Also, I have my best people trying to find out exactly where your parents are.
05:15We'll find them soon.
05:16I threw my arms around him, absolutely smitten.
05:19Later that day, I tried looking up my parents online on my new phone,
05:23but nothing about them popped up.
05:24I'd just have to wait for my visit.
05:26But thank God I had Mason, and we started hanging out every day,
05:30at my place, at his place, fancy restaurants and museums.
05:33One day, we were walking in the park and we saw a bunch of kids running up to an ice cream truck.
05:38But one boy was standing on the side with a sad face.
05:41Hey kid, what's the matter?
05:43I can't afford to get any ice cream.
05:45Well, how about I buy you a banana split?
05:47Or maybe two scoops of cookies and cream?
05:49A couple of kids appeared out of nowhere.
05:52They didn't have any money for ice cream either.
05:53I gave each of them a hundred dollar bill,
05:55and they all ran cheering and screaming to the ice cream truck.
05:59I turned around to see Mason looking at me with a huge smile.
06:02What?
06:03Did a bird poop in my hair?
06:05I hate when that happens.
06:06No, I just think you're wonderful.
06:08Then he pulled me into his arms, and my face was inches away from his.
06:13Mason, were you and I ever more than friends?
06:16No, but I wanted us to be. We can be now.
06:19And then he gave me the most amazing kiss, and I practically melted in his arms.
06:25A couple days later, Mason took me to the aquarium.
06:27But as I saw all these kids with their parents, I felt kind of sad.
06:31Hey, are you still thinking about your parents?
06:33Yeah, I still don't remember them. Not exactly.
06:37But I want to see them and talk to them.
06:39Maybe if I do, my memories will come back.
06:41Mason sighed and then took my hand in his.
06:44Listen, Harper, we've managed to find them, and I can arrange a visit very soon.
06:48But before that, there's something you need to know.
06:50I should have told you this earlier, but...
06:52Before Mason could finish, this girl ran up to us screaming excitedly.
06:57OMG, Harper! Is that you?
07:00Hey, I'm sorry, I don't remember you.
07:03Mason tried to hide behind me.
07:05And Mason?
07:06Uh, hi, Jackie.
07:08I knew it, I knew it!
07:10Knew what?
07:12Oh, Arth, you're so hilarious!
07:14I'm your friend, and I knew you always had a crush on Mason before you started hating his guts.
07:20How'd you ever patch things up?
07:21Mason turned as red as a cherry popsicle.
07:24I have no idea what you're talking about.
07:27You called him Mason the Maniac and you wanted to crush him for ruining your life.
07:31You spray-painted his house, scratched his car with your keys, threw a brick through his window,
07:36and created a website that listed a thousand reasons why he shouldn't be trusted.
07:40What? That's crazy! Why would I do something like that?
07:43Yeah, you went a little psycho.
07:46But Mason did write that article which got your parents arrested.
07:50Are you insane? Mason would never do that to me!
07:53Tell her, Mason!
07:53Mason?
07:54Mason lowered his eyes.
07:56Harper, I can explain.
07:57It's okay, Mason. I can show her myself.
08:00Jackie pulled out her phone and showed me a news article with a headline that read,
08:04Whiz Kid Journalist Puts Criminal Couple Behind Bars.
08:07The whiz kid was Mason, and the couple were my parents, and their names were Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
08:13Right beneath my parents' photo, there was a link to a video.
08:16With trembling hands, I clicked the link.
08:18It showed the police hauling my parents out of our apartment building,
08:22while a dozen reporters were taking pictures and firing questions.
08:26And Mason was right there in the front, with a smirk on his face.
08:29We're innocent. We didn't do this. That sneaky kid Mason is out to get us.
08:34Then suddenly, I came running out of the building and tackled Mason to the ground.
08:38We crashed into the reporters, then the video ended.
08:41It's not what it looks like.
08:42Yes, it is. I just couldn't believe it.
08:45Suddenly, I got so mad my hands started shaking.
08:48I slapped Mason really hard across the face, then stormed off.
08:53I took a taxi straight home and spent the rest of the night crying into my pillow.
08:57Mason called me a dozen times, but I refused to answer.
09:01He even came to my door with flowers, but I ignored him.
09:04I looked my parents up online.
09:05I found Mason's article and read all about my parents' crimes.
09:09Mason accused them of stealing from tons of banks, museums, and even a children's hospital.
09:14But my parents claimed they were innocent, and Mason was a liar.
09:18He'd lied to me about being my friend, too.
09:20No wonder I hated his guts!
09:22One night, when I was watching love stories on MSA...
09:25No, don't trust him! He's hot, but he's a bad, bad guy!
09:29And stuffing my face with ice cream and cookies, I got a call from the apartment building's reception desk.
09:34Ma'am, there's a call for you from your mother. I'm putting you through.
09:37I shot up straight as an arrow. My mom was calling me from prison?
09:42Oh, Harper, how are you?
09:43We heard you were in the hospital after the accident, and then you were released.
09:47I wasn't allowed to make calls any sooner, and I tried your cell phone first.
09:51Oh, I've been so worried, love.
09:53Mom, where are you? Can I come see you?
09:56I was able to schedule a visit to prison for the next day.
09:59I met my mom in this big room, surrounded by other inmates and their visiting families.
10:04Oh, I can't believe you're here.
10:06Your dad wanted to see you, too, but he got into a fight with an inmate and isn't allowed visitors for a week.
10:11I've missed you so much, baby.
10:14Suddenly, I just broke down in tears.
10:16Mom, I'm so confused. I lost all my memories in the accident.
10:21What? You don't remember anything?
10:23No, nothing. I just know that you're in jail because Mason said you guys did all these awful things.
10:29Mason? Ugh, what I wouldn't do to wring that boy's neck.
10:33We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for him.
10:35He's evil, Harper. You can't trust a word he says.
10:38I'll explain everything later, but first, you need to listen to me closely.
10:42Mom leaned in and whispered,
10:43Get the money out of the safe.
10:45What safe?
10:46It's in a secret room behind my closet.
10:49Your dad and I stored things for the family business there.
10:52We didn't tell you about it because you were too young.
10:54I need you to use the money we've kept in that room to bail us out.
10:57The combination is in a drawer in my desk, and be careful.
11:00We had a misunderstanding with a few gangsters.
11:03Gangsters? Oh, I mean business associates, sweetie.
11:06Somehow, they think we owe them money. Vultures.
11:09So, if anyone suspicious turns up at the apartment, do not let them in.
11:13Mom gestured over my shoulder,
11:15and I turned and saw this scary man with a skull tattooed on his forehead,
11:19giving us death glares.
11:21Once I got home, I raced to my parents' room,
11:23found the combination, and typed it into the keypad on the back of Mom's closet.
11:27Then a wall opened up, and I walked into the secret room,
11:31my mouth hanging open.
11:32It was full of bags of money, jewels, and paintings.
11:36All the stolen items that Mason wrote about in his articles
11:39were stacked right in front of me.
11:41I was devastated. Mason was right.
11:44My parents were thieves.
11:45Just then, the doorbell rang,
11:47and a surveillance feed popped up on a screen in my parents' room.
11:50Three scary gangsters with skulls on their forehead were at my front door.
11:54We know you're in there, Harper. We want our money.
11:57I spoke through the speakers.
11:58Sorry, Harper's not home. She's moved to the moon.
12:02The gangsters got really angry and kicked down the main door.
12:05I locked my parents' bedroom door.
12:07And feeling completely freaked out, I called Mason.
12:10Mason answered on the first ring.
12:12What's wrong?
12:12You were right. My parents are bad, and now these gangsters are out to get me.
12:16What should I do?
12:17Mason told me to run to the window.
12:19I peeked down and saw him waving at me from the window below.
12:22He told me to climb down.
12:24Are you crazy? What do I look like, Spider-Man?
12:27You used to climb down all the time when we were kids.
12:29Well, I don't remember that.
12:31Suddenly, I heard the gangsters pounding on my parents' door.
12:34Okay, maybe some memories are coming back.
12:37Come on, you can do it. I've got you.
12:39Somehow, Mason's words gave me confidence.
12:41So, I took a deep breath, then started climbing down.
12:44Suddenly, I lost my grip and screamed as I fell.
12:48But Mason caught me just in time.
12:50He pulled me inside through his window and hugged me.
12:53You're okay, Harper. You're safe now.
12:55Okay, cool. This is really nice.
12:57You always smell so comforting, like fresh laundry.
13:01Uh, I still have to call the police. You mind letting me go?
13:04We reported the gangsters to the police, and they were arrested and hauled off to jail.
13:09After that, Mason walked me back to my apartment.
13:11When we got to my door, tears started streaming down my face.
13:15Mason, was I a bad person like my parents?
13:18No, you didn't even know they were criminals.
13:21Your parents lied to everyone about their business for years.
13:24But I did all those horrible things to you.
13:27Why did you even go to the hospital to find me?
13:29Because it was my fault you got hurt.
13:31Mason's words shook me to my core.
13:34The day you had the accident, I tried to talk to you about your parents and make you see the truth.
13:38But you got so mad, you got into your car and drove off.
13:41The next day, the police found your abandoned car stuck in a ditch, and they said you were missing.
13:45Mason showed me a picture of my car in the ditch.
13:48Then a memory popped into my head.
13:50I think I remember now. It was raining.
13:53I was driving really fast, and I lost control.
13:56I remember crawling out of the car to find help.
13:59But after that, everything is a blur.
14:01Harper, not knowing what happened to you or where you'd gone was breaking my heart.
14:06Then I found you at the hospital, and you were different.
14:09You didn't remember anything.
14:10And most importantly, you didn't hate me.
14:12I should have told you the truth sooner, but it was getting harder the more I was falling in love with you.
14:17You're in love with me?
14:19I've always had a thing for you.
14:21I'm sorry I lied. I understand if you never want to see me again.
14:24I love you, Harper, but I don't want to come between you and your family.
14:28He started walking away, and suddenly my phone rang.
14:31It was the number from prison. It must be my mom calling.
14:34As I watched him leave, my heart ached.
14:36I had to choose.
14:38I could bail out my family, help them clear their names, and go back to their criminal activities.
14:42Or I could take a chance on a different life.
14:45I shoved my cell phone into my pocket, ran to Mason, and grabbed his hand.
14:49Let's go and tell the police about the proof I found in the secret room.
14:52I choose to be a good person.
14:54I choose to be happy.
14:55I choose you.
15:04I choose you.
