00:00Hi, I'm Nora, and most of the time, I'm pretty sweet.
00:03But when I fall in love, I turn into a jealous psycho.
00:06Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:09I blame my mom entirely for it.
00:11She and my dad were high school sweethearts.
00:13But over time, dad kept getting promoted at work and got busier,
00:17while mom felt neglected and became really insecure.
00:20I mean, she became a nutcase.
00:22Like once in the supermarket, when dad held the door open for the woman behind us,
00:26mom accused him of flirting with her.
00:27And even flung a melon at the woman's head.
00:30Or that time at my sixth birthday party, when dad gave a female clown a slice of cake,
00:35mom marched over furiously, smushed the cake with her fist, and then gave the clown a wedgie.
00:40I don't condone violence, but that was hilarious.
00:43When I was in the third grade, mom was convinced that dad was having an affair with his pretty new secretary.
00:49So one day, she took me and my older sister Sophie to his office.
00:53Please don't steal our daddy lady.
00:55Don't take him away from us.
00:57Who will feed us and buy us clothes?
01:00Do you want us to be orphans?
01:02It's a very bad thing to be a...
01:03Wait, I forgot.
01:04I wrote it on my arm.
01:06Oh yeah, a homewrecker.
01:07Homewreckers are bad.
01:09And you'll end up in jail, bad lady.
01:11Wait a second.
01:12Are those my jeans you're wearing?
01:14I want my jeans and my husband back, witch.
01:17Are you insane?
01:18As if my size zero jeans would even fit your size eight butt.
01:22Mom snarled and leapt at the secretary, who dodged her and went screaming down the hallway.
01:27She burst into the conference room with mom on her tail, and the two ended up crashing onto the large conference table, where dad was having a meeting with the company's top executives.
01:36What on earth?
01:38You cheated on me and gave this bimbo my favorite jeans.
01:42Mom threw a stapler at dad, which missed him and hit his boss instead.
01:46Needless to say, he was fired.
01:48And that was the day he left us for good.
01:51Sophie and I were devastated.
01:53Wipe your tears, girls.
01:54He wouldn't have left if he wasn't cheating on me.
01:56Take it from me.
01:57All men are garbage, and we're better off without them.
02:00Well, that didn't stop me from having my first crush in the seventh grade.
02:05His name was Adam, and he was our neighbor.
02:07One day, Sophie caught me staring at him from my window.
02:10Adam and Nora sitting in a tree.
02:13K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
02:16Shut up, Sophie.
02:17I don't even like that boy.
02:19Yes, you do.
02:20You want to brush his hair and hold his hand and have his babies.
02:24I read it in your diary.
02:25See?
02:25I snatched my diary out of Sophie's hand and pushed her out of my room.
02:29She was so annoying.
02:31A couple of weeks later, a super pretty girl named Becca joined my class,
02:35and we quickly became friends.
02:36Once, when we were hanging out at my place, Adam showed up at my door.
02:40Uh, hi.
02:40I brought you some cookies I baked myself.
02:42You free to hang out?
02:43Oh, I...
02:44Yeah.
02:45Why wouldn't I be free?
02:46Wait, I have another guest over, but yeah, I don't think she'd mind.
02:50Come in, come in.
02:51You smell so good.
02:52I mean, the cookies.
02:53The cookies smell so good.
02:54I wanted Adam to have a good time,
02:56so I logged on to Ask Brain 2
02:58and asked about fun game ideas.
03:00The three of us played Truth or Dare, Charades, and Hide and Seek.
03:03A couple of times, I caught Adam smiling at me,
03:06and when he brushed cookie crumbs from my cheek,
03:08my heart skipped several beats.
03:10The next day at school,
03:11I was at my locker,
03:13and I saw Adam staring at me from across the hall.
03:16Suddenly, he winked at me and blew me a kiss.
03:18The butterflies in my stomach went into a frenzy.
03:21I raced down the hall, ready to jump into Adam's arms,
03:24but I slipped on a banana peel
03:26and fell face first right at Adam's feet.
03:29I thought he'd sweep me up,
03:30but instead, he stepped over me,
03:32hugged Becca,
03:33and gave her the most romantic kiss I'd ever seen.
03:36I wanted the ground to swallow me whole.
03:38That night, Mom and Sophie caught me crying in my room.
03:42Boys are like that, sweetie.
03:43They'll lead you on,
03:44make you think they love you,
03:46and tear your heart out,
03:47just like your father.
03:48Not only was my heart broken,
03:50now I was totally paranoid
03:51when a boy even came close to me.
03:54Hey, Nora, you want to go to the movies?
03:56I'd rather eat a bag of worms.
03:57Would you be my valentine?
03:59Stay away from me,
04:00or I'll dunk your head in a toilet.
04:02Nora, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
04:05Liar!
04:06After a while,
04:07I got a reputation for being a little cuckoo,
04:09and most of the kids in school started avoiding me,
04:12but I didn't care.
04:13Sophie was totally different, though.
04:15She'd flirt with every boy that passed her in the hall.
04:18And date a new jerk every two weeks.
04:20Of course, they all broke her heart,
04:22and I felt so sorry for Sophie that I decided to help her.
04:26You gotta remember my rules, Soph.
04:28Don't let their good looks fool you.
04:29Don't trust anything they say.
04:31Don't let them melt you with their kisses,
04:32and don't ever fall in love.
04:35Sophie listened attentively and took notes,
04:37but a week later,
04:38I caught her kissing a boy named Clive in her room.
04:41You're breaking all the rules.
04:43Your rules are dumb.
04:44All boys aren't bad.
04:46That's right, girl.
04:47Boys are cool,
04:48and that's why they rule.
04:49Ha ha!
04:50Shut your stupid mouth.
04:51No one's talking to you.
04:53Where'd you pick him up from?
04:54The dumpster?
04:55That's your problem.
04:56You're so judgmental
04:57and won't give any boy a chance.
04:59I thought you were smarter than this, Sophie.
05:01Maybe hanging out with stupid boys
05:02has made you stupid, too.
05:04Sophie kicked me out of her room,
05:06and we didn't speak much after that.
05:08Soon, I was off to university,
05:09and there were boys everywhere.
05:12I just kept my head in my books
05:13and rejected any boy
05:15who even tried to make a move.
05:17But, you know,
05:18a girl starts to get lonely.
05:20So, when a girl in my class
05:21asked me out one day,
05:22I impulsively said yes.
05:24Just because I'd renounced all men
05:26didn't mean I couldn't find love.
05:27And how bad could it be, right?
05:29At first, not so bad.
05:31In fact, pretty great.
05:33She loved to cook,
05:34she braided my hair,
05:35she gave me the best pedicures,
05:36and we were the same shoe size.
05:38But then,
05:39she started acting like I'd adopted her.
05:42She would never leave my dorm,
05:43and I hated it
05:44when she used my towel and my hairbrush.
05:46She was clingy and needy
05:48and constantly needed validation
05:50that she was the most important person in my life.
05:53So, if your mother and I
05:54were hanging off a cliff,
05:55holding on for dear life,
05:57and you could only save one person,
05:59who would it be?
05:59Uh, my mother, obviously.
06:02Seriously,
06:02I've known you for a month.
06:04Mom carried me in her womb
06:05for eight more months than that.
06:07I thought it was a reasonable answer,
06:09but she totally lost it.
06:10She broke half the things in my room
06:12and threw the other half out the window
06:14before she stormed off.
06:15Then, she started stalking me
06:17everywhere I went.
06:18I tried talking to my other friends
06:20about how unsafe I felt,
06:21but they all laughed it off.
06:23Yeah, if you're dating a guy
06:24and complain about him,
06:25everyone shows you sympathy,
06:27but no one comforts you
06:28if it's a girl.
06:29Oh, come on,
06:30she's barely five feet
06:31and she looks totally harmless.
06:33What could she possibly do to you?
06:35Only after she tried kidnapping me
06:37did anyone take things seriously.
06:39She was expelled from the university
06:40and I got a restraining order.
06:42And after that,
06:43I swore off girls too.
06:45Then, in my junior year,
06:46Sophie showed up at my dorm one day
06:48with the worst news.
06:50Clive proposed to me?
06:51You're kidding.
06:52Man, that loser is so out of your league.
06:54Don't worry, sis.
06:55I know how to handle this.
06:57Just send Clive a breakup text.
06:58Tell him he stinks,
06:59he makes you want to puke,
07:00and you never want to see him again.
07:02No, I love Clive.
07:04I said yes,
07:05and our wedding is in four weeks.
07:06I just came to ask you
07:08if you'd be my maid of honor.
07:09I couldn't believe this.
07:11I thought Clive was just a phase.
07:12I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs,
07:14don't do this,
07:15you'll ruin your life.
07:16But instead,
07:17I caved in and said yes.
07:19I mean,
07:20was I allowed to say no?
07:21When I got back home for Sophie's wedding,
07:23I tried to keep an open mind about Clive.
07:25But Clive was horrible.
07:28He had no sense of humor,
07:29he was boring,
07:30and he totally ignored Sophie
07:31to spend all his time with his friends
07:33or fixing his dumb car.
07:35So when it was time to make my maid of honor speech,
07:38well,
07:39things got out of hand.
07:40Here's to Sophie and Clive.
07:42Clive is dumber than an aunt,
07:43he smells like a rotten egg,
07:44and his face reminds me of a horse's butt.
07:46What are you doing?
07:48Sophie,
07:48I don't know how you can stand him.
07:50Are you marrying him for his money?
07:51Oops,
07:52I forgot he's broke.
07:53Look,
07:53we both know this marriage isn't gonna last,
07:55so why don't we cut to the chase now,
07:57and I can get you out of that tacky wedding dress
07:59Clive bought you from the dollar store.
08:01Sophie got so mad that she threw the wedding cake at me,
08:04Clive's mom cried,
08:05and the rest of the bridal party
08:07chased me out of the building.
08:08The next day,
08:09I was packing my bags to leave.
08:11When Sophie came to my room,
08:12I thought she'd punch my face,
08:14but instead,
08:15she took my hand.
08:16Listen,
08:16Nora,
08:17I'm not like you,
08:18okay?
08:19I'm not bitter,
08:20I'm not angry,
08:21and I don't hate men.
08:22I chose Clive,
08:23and if you want me in your life,
08:24you'll have to respect that.
08:26Okay,
08:27but you're making a huge mistake.
08:29You're the one making the mistake.
08:30Love is real,
08:32and one day,
08:33I hope you'll understand.
08:34I was only trying to do the right thing,
08:36but clearly,
08:37Sophie was too blind to appreciate it.
08:40But when I got back to my university,
08:42my life turned upside down.
08:44My friends and I went to a restaurant
08:45to celebrate my birthday,
08:46but when we got there,
08:48the waiter told us our table was booked.
08:50Three dumb guys were sitting there laughing and joking.
08:54But I booked this table a week ago.
08:56My apologies, ma'am.
08:57It was our mistake.
08:58Maybe you could come back tomorrow?
09:00Just as I was about to snap at the waiter,
09:03one of the guys from the table walked up to us.
09:05His name was Chris.
09:06He had movie star hair,
09:08a million dollar smile,
09:09and a perfect body.
09:11Why don't you girls join us?
09:12There's plenty of room,
09:13and we won't bother you.
09:14That's a horrible idea.
09:16Don't mind, Nora.
09:17She's just kidding.
09:18The next thing I knew,
09:19we were sitting at their table,
09:21and Chris talked to me all night.
09:22To my surprise,
09:23he wasn't the absolute worst.
09:25He worked in a private security firm as a bodyguard,
09:28and all his crazy stories made me laugh.
09:31At the end of the evening,
09:32he even asked me for my number.
09:34Don't get any ideas.
09:35I'm not interested in a relationship.
09:37Neither am I.
09:38I was thinking we could be friends.
09:40After that,
09:41Chris and I talked and texted every night,
09:43and soon,
09:44we started hanging out almost every day.
09:46No, we weren't dating.
09:47We were just...
09:48Okay, fine.
09:49It's true.
09:49Every time he was close,
09:51his cologne made me dizzy,
09:52and when he looked at me,
09:53my stomach did that weird thing
09:55that it does after I eat too much cheese.
09:57And if his hand brushed against mine,
09:59I started having acid reflux.
10:01Yeah, I let my guard down
10:02and fell in love, okay?
10:04And I wasn't the only one.
10:06I know we're supposed to be friends,
10:07but I love you, Nora,
10:08and I think we're meant to be together.
10:11Like the moon in the night sky.
10:12Like the bees in the flowers.
10:14Like water in a well.
10:15Just shut up and kiss me.
10:17Soon after I'd graduated
10:18and moved in with Chris,
10:19he got a job as a bodyguard
10:21to protect this beautiful pop star, Sasha.
10:23Yeah, I know y'all have heard about her.
10:25Sasha, the gorgeous singing sensation
10:27who ended up dating her ex-bodyguard Damon.
10:29Yeah, that one.
10:31Sasha was going on tour,
10:32and for months,
10:33Chris was off traveling from city to city,
10:35and it got kind of lonely.
10:37Then one day,
10:38Mom and Sophie came to visit.
10:40Oh, Nora, my poor baby.
10:42You must be so sad.
10:43What are you talking about?
10:45Stop it, Mom.
10:46It's none of your business.
10:47Your sister needs to know.
10:49Mom showed me a bunch of pictures online
10:51of Sasha leaning on Chris's arm and laughing.
10:54Then she turned on the TV,
10:56and some stupid reporter said
10:57how cute Chris and Sasha looked together.
10:59When I heard that,
11:01I suddenly picked up a bat
11:02and smashed the TV to pieces.
11:04Nora, don't listen to Mom.
11:06Mom, she's paranoid.
11:07All that stuff is stupid gossip.
11:09Sasha is with Damon,
11:11and Chris adores you.
11:12Nora, don't be naive like your sister.
11:15Everybody lies and cheats.
11:17After Sophie and Mom left,
11:18I called Chris,
11:19but he didn't answer.
11:20I kept thinking about what Mom said,
11:22and how I'd broken all of my rules,
11:24and now my heart was in danger.
11:26So the very next morning,
11:27I put on a disguise,
11:29took a bus to Sasha's next concert venue,
11:31and signed up as an extra on set,
11:33and I watched the two of them like a hawk.
11:36Every time Chris whispered something in Sasha's ear,
11:38my heart burned.
11:40She even asked him to zip up her dress once.
11:42Had everybody else died?
11:44One evening during Sasha's performance,
11:46I was backstage when I saw Chris and a dancer
11:48going into a dressing room
11:49and closing the door behind them.
11:52What the heck?
11:52I quickly ran after them and burst in.
11:55Aha!
11:55Caught you!
11:56Just then,
11:57I saw the girl's arm was bleeding,
11:59and Chris was bandaging it.
12:00Caught you?
12:01Wait, who are you exactly?
12:03Oh God,
12:03I couldn't let him recognize me.
12:05I turned around and ran for it,
12:07with Chris sprinting right behind me.
12:09In my frenzy,
12:10I found myself heading straight for the stage.
12:12Red alert!
12:13Red alert!
12:13A snake is headed towards the eagle.
12:15I found myself crashing into the dancers on stage,
12:18and just as I was about to run into a horrified Sasha,
12:21four men pinned me to the ground
12:23while the audience gasped.
12:25I was immediately carried away
12:26and found myself facing Chris backstage.
12:29Nora?
12:30I realized my wig had come off.
12:32Sasha's performance was ruined,
12:34and her manager insisted that Chris be fired.
12:37What were you thinking?
12:38You compromised my client's security,
12:40and you cost me my job and my reputation.
12:42Oh,
12:43I don't know,
12:43Chris.
12:44I was thinking how my hunky boyfriend
12:46hangs out with beautiful pop stars and dancers all the time,
12:49and is never home anymore.
12:50Can you blame me for being paranoid?
12:53Yes,
12:53I can.
12:54I haven't given you any reason not to trust me.
12:56Yet.
12:57I,
12:57I just don't want you to be a bodyguard anymore.
13:00Well,
13:00too bad.
13:01It's my job.
13:02Just go home,
13:03Nora.
13:03I don't want to be around you right now.
13:05Feeling miserable,
13:06I ended up going to a dance club instead
13:08to get my mind off of everything.
13:10I saw this cute boy on stage playing with the band,
13:12and he kept winking at me.
13:14I recognized him from TV.
13:15He was a movie star.
13:16On an impulse,
13:18I took a deep breath,
13:19and then walked up to the boy,
13:20and gave him a passionate kiss.
13:22The next morning,
13:22I was back home,
13:23and I woke up to tons of pictures on the internet
13:26of me and that movie star kissing.
13:28Chris showed up at my door soon after.
13:30Why would you do that to me?
13:32I thought we were in love.
13:34Everybody cheats,
13:34babe.
13:35Welcome to the real world.
13:36I know you'll cheat on me one day if you aren't already.
13:39I'm done with this stupid relationship.
13:41I walked out of there with my bags and went to Sophie.
13:44But soon after,
13:45I started feeling sick to my stomach.
13:48It hit me like a ton of bricks.
13:50I was a cheater,
13:51something I hated and felt horrible about.
13:54I made a big mistake.
13:56I don't know what to do.
13:57Yeah,
13:58you messed up big time.
14:00I wasn't talking to you,
14:01Clive.
14:02There's no need to be rude.
14:03You're right.
14:04I'm the worst,
14:05and I'm sorry for all the mean things I've said and done to you two.
14:09I don't know who I am anymore.
14:10I never wanted to hurt Chris,
14:12but something came over me.
14:14You let mom get into your head,
14:16Nora.
14:16She says she's better off alone.
14:18But all I see is a bitter,
14:20paranoid woman who can't be happy
14:22and can't stand anyone else's happiness either.
14:25You deserve to love and be loved in return.
14:28And yeah,
14:29sometimes love can hurt,
14:31but sometimes it can also be amazing.
14:33Like what Clive and I have.
14:35I really don't understand how that's possible with Clive.
14:38Okay,
14:38okay,
14:39sorry.
14:39You're right.
14:40I decided to see a therapist
14:41and learned to deal with my insecurities
14:43and trust my heart.
14:45I even wrote Chris a letter apologizing for hurting him.
14:48I didn't get a response,
14:49but that was okay.
14:51One day,
14:51I went to eat at the cafe
14:52where Chris and I had our first kiss.
14:55Then someone walked up behind me.
14:57You're sitting at my table.
14:58I looked up to see Chris looking down at me.
15:01He smelled like an ocean breeze.
15:03My heart melted,
15:04but I tried to play it cool.
15:06I don't see your name on this table.
15:07I don't see your name on this table.
15:08You're right.
15:08Do you mind if I sit with you?
15:10I thought you hated me.
15:11I did at first,
15:12but I couldn't hate you for too long.
15:14You really broke my heart though.
15:15I hope one day you can forgive me.
15:18You were the love of my life and my best friend.
15:21I want you back,
15:21but I understand if you can't trust me.
15:24Maybe we can start over.
15:26We could take it one day at a time.
15:28I can't promise anything,
15:29but I do want to give us a second chance.
15:31And this time,
15:32I was throwing away all my stupid rules
15:35and following my heart.
15:36We'll see you next time.
