00:00Hi, I'm Amber from New Orleans. Please like and subscribe. I belong to a home

00:05that was filled with happiness and love and my dad worked very hard to give us

00:10the best life. Once when I was four, dad spent an entire weekend building me a

00:14treehouse in our backyard. This is your special place. You can always come up

00:20here and look at the beautiful sky. Thank you daddy. And when your sister grows a

00:24little taller, promise me that you'll share this treehouse with her and always

00:29be happy together. I promise. My sister Rose was two years younger and I loved

00:34her to bits. I would dance for her and she would laugh like crazy and clap her

00:39little hands. When I turned six, mom bought us walkie-talkies and we had so much fun

00:44hiding from our parents. The coast is all clear here. Over. I see mom's red hair.

00:50Over. Okay, I'm climbing down. Over. As I climbed down from the treehouse, I saw my

00:56aunt and my cousin enter our yard. I ran to greet them and so did Rose. Amber and

01:01Rose, you've grown so big. Our cousin Shirley was the same age as me and stood

01:06very quietly without even a smile on her face. Just then I noticed that they had

01:10two big suitcases with them. Are you going on holiday, aunt? Yes, we're here for the

01:16holiday. Just then dad came out and helped aunt with her bags. Aunt and dad were twins

01:21and he cared about her deeply. I was happy to have them around until mom took me aside

01:25and spoke to me. Amber, you will move into Rose's room and share her bed. But Rose's bed

01:31is so small, mom. I know, hon. It's just until your aunt finds a job and moves out. How long

01:37will that be? Just a few months. But months turned into years and I was ten and still squeezing

01:44into Rose's bed. My aunt didn't find a job and dad had to let her stay since they only

01:49had each other. And slowly, aunt and Shirley started to become a nuisance. Once in seventh

01:55grade, mom had planned a party for me and Rose for being top achievers at school, when aunt

02:00suddenly said she felt really sick. Maybe you should have the party on another day. I'm so

02:06unwell. Shirley must have caught it too. Look, she feels so warm. It's possible what we have

02:13is contagious. But I've already bought all the food and invited the guests. I can't cancel

02:18everything just a day before the party. Maybe you two could just stay in your room, aunt.

02:22Oh, so you want me and my daughter to stay in the rooms like we are outcasts? Did you hear

02:27what she said, brother? We aren't good enough for their party. They always make us feel like

02:32we're living on their charity. What? She didn't mean it like that. Aunt started coughing loudly

02:38and dad took her to her room. When he returned, he asked us if we could cancel the party.

02:43But dad, Rose and I already invited all our friends. My mom is sick and I think you should

02:48listen to your dad. It does seem insensitive to have a party when she's unwell. We can

02:53have it another time. Please? It was so hard to say no to dad. So we canceled it. And just

02:59then I caught sight of Shirley grinning as she walked away to her room. Ugh, she and aunt

03:04were such drama queens. And the worst part was that Shirley was in the same class as me.

03:09In 8th grade, I got selected to be the class president. And just as I was about to give

03:14my first presentation on all the changes I wanted to make, I stared at the projector in

03:19horror. Instead of my slideshow, it was a video of me singing and doing a stupid dance in front

03:24of my mirror at home. That's your president trying to be Beyonce. Gosh, how stupid does she

03:30look? Shirley, you're a wicked witch, just like your mother. She got up and pushed me against

03:36the chalkboard and I took the duster and buffed her face white. Seconds later, everyone around

03:41us was laughing as we broke out into a full scale catfight. But the teacher was not impressed

03:47by my behavior. Amber, I'm taking away your position of class president until you learn

03:53to lead by example. Hitting someone's face with a duster is not leadership material. But

03:59she pushed me. And you called her mother a witch. Later that afternoon while I was doing

04:04my homework, aunt came and sat next to me with her tea. And she poured it all over my

04:09books. Hey, what are you doing? This will teach you to watch what you say about me. I'm a witch,

04:15huh? I'm telling dad about this. Go ahead, I'll just say it was an accident. He will never

04:21believe you over me, his beloved sister. And she was right. Dad didn't believe me. Amber,

04:28I'm sick of you disrespecting your aunt. When your mother gets back from the store, we're

04:33having a family meeting. But mom had been gone for hours and she wasn't even answering

04:38any calls. We were beginning to feel worried. But just then a car drove up to the house and

04:43mom thanked a strange man as he dropped her off and drove away. What happened? My car's

04:48engine suddenly heated up and my phone was dead. Luckily, my boss was driving by so he offered

04:53me a ride. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll get your car towed and fixed. Hmm, I just couldn't help noticing

05:00the way that man looked at you. What way? What are you trying to say? Nothing. Just

05:06saying. My aunt was on a mission to stir up trouble between my parents. And later that

05:12evening, while mom was in the bathroom, I found aunt digging in mom's bag. What are

05:16you doing? Why don't you go up to your room and read a book, dear? Not until you tell me

05:21what you're up to. I'm looking for a painkiller for the headache you're giving me. Ah, there it

05:26is. She took it and left and I told mom right away. But she checked her bag and said everything

05:31was in place. But just a few days later, it was dad's birthday and mom bought him some

05:35new shoes. Oh, I was expecting a Rolex watch. Really? Well, honey, that's quite an expensive

05:43gift. But you used our credit card to buy it two days ago. I got a message on my phone.

05:48What? No, I didn't. Mom and dad got into an argument on his birthday. And then aunt came

05:54along to make things worse. Oh, I think I know who your wife bought the watch for.

05:59It was for that same man who dropped you off last time. You know, her boss. And how would

06:04you know that? I'm my brother's sister and I see everything that goes on around here.

06:09I won't let anyone betray him. I've had enough of this nonsense. Who do you believe? Me or

06:16her? Dad believed aunt. And that day, mom packed her bags and took me and Rose with her. Mom

06:22rented out a small apartment. But things were not easy with mom's small salary. And dad

06:27only paid for our school fees. And soon after, things got even worse when Rose started to feel

06:32sick. When mom took her to the doctor, we got the scariest news ever. Rose had a problem

06:38with her heart and she needed a donor. Oh, mom, why is this happening? I don't want anything

06:43to happen to Rose. And nothing will. We have to stay positive, honey. Rose had to stay at

06:49the hospital for a while. And one day, dad came to visit with aunt and Shirley. But when

06:53the adults weren't in the room, Shirley turned to Rose and said, now because of you, your dad

06:59might lose our house. What are you saying? Don't listen to her, Rose. He's paying for

07:05your treatment, stupid. He can't afford the mortgage payments on the house. Thanks to you,

07:09we'll be homeless soon. It was never your house to begin with. Get out of Rose's room.

07:15Now! Later that day, I started to do some research on heart donors and I was surprised

07:20to find applications on a funding program called the Heart Foundation. I quickly applied telling

07:26my story and sent it with fingers crossed. When I told Rose about it the next day, it made

07:31her really happy. Even though our family is no longer the same happy family, I'm so glad

07:36that I have you as my sister and best friend. I hugged her and then turned on the music on her

07:41phone and started dancing for her like old times. And she laughed so much. Back at school,

07:47I struggled to keep my grades up because of everything that was going on. And one day,

07:52Shirley scored higher than me in math and couldn't stop rubbing it in my face. Now that I'm the

07:58smarty pants of the family, I'm going to tell my uncle to throw me a party. Don't worry,

08:03you're invited. As a waitress. Suddenly, I felt so furious that I just screamed and charged her.

08:10But somehow, I managed to stop myself at the last second. So I was shocked when Shirley

08:15suddenly fell to the floor, like she'd fainted. Shirley? Oh my god, what if you killed her?

08:22What? I didn't even touch her. No, I saw you. Her friend ran off to call the principal.

08:28Shirley was rushed to the hospital where she was just fine soon after. But I was suspended for two

08:34weeks. I was really angry. But my suspension meant I got to spend a little more time with Rose at the

08:40hospital. I miss our treehouse. Me too. Let's go there. You know we can't do that. We'll get in

08:46so much trouble. Please, Amber, I'm so tired of being in the hospital. My sister made her puppy

08:52dog eyes at me. So I put her on the wheelchair and told the nurses that I was taking her out for

08:57some fresh air. We sneaked right out of the hospital and got onto a bus that took us to dad's

09:02house. No one seemed to be at home. So we headed straight to our treehouse. Are you sure you can even

09:08climb up? Yeah, of course I can. Okay, go really slow. And I'm right behind you. Rose climbed up

09:15the ladder. But as soon as she was inside the treehouse, she let out a loud scream. I started

09:20climbing up frantically. But just then I saw Shirley looking down at me. And next to her was a boy from

09:26school. Shirley, what are you doing here? Bunking school and making out with my boyfriend? You and

09:32your sister are trespassing. Shut up. This is our treehouse. Oh yeah? We'll see about that. She

09:39kicked the ladder and I lost my balance. But luckily I caught a tree branch just in time. Oh my

09:44God, Amber. I turned to see dad looking up at me and next to him was mom. Dad quickly put the ladder

09:51back and helped me climb down. What are you guys doing here? The hospital told us you were missing.

09:56We figured you might be here. I'm sorry mom. I... It's not her fault. I made her bring me here.

10:02Because this is my happy place. Rose cried and we had a family hug. Until it was interrupted by

10:08aunt. What's going on here? Shirley kicked the ladder down while Amber was on it. What nonsense. My

10:15Shirley would never do that. I saw it with my own eyes. Shirley came down from the treehouse with the

10:21boy and aunt didn't look so happy. Shirley? I'm sorry. Shirley looked down sadly but I didn't buy

10:29her act one bit. I am so disappointed in you, Shirley. You really could have hurt Amber. And

10:35if you're really sorry, tell everyone the truth about what happened in school. You pushed me.

10:41That's what happened. Yes, she did. And brother, why are you holding that woman's hand? Have you

10:46forgotten that other man she's with? Dad immediately let go of mom's hand and she looked so sad. As mom

10:53drove Rose back to the hospital, I had a brilliant idea. Mom, can I borrow your credit card? Honey,

11:00I'm already owing a lot on my credit card. No, I'm not buying anything. I just want to investigate

11:05something. I then asked her to drop me at the mall and went to the only jewelry store that sold

11:10Rolex watches. Excuse me, can you check my mom's credit card? I think she bought a Rolex watch here

11:16sometime back. The store assistant checked the card and the time of the purchase showed up.

11:21I requested to see the CCTV footage of that date and time. And it was exactly what I had expected.

11:27My aunt was the one using my mom's credit card. I made a copy of the video on my flash drive and left.

11:33I was on my way to dad's office when I got a phone call that made me yell out with excitement.

11:37Rose's application for the donor heart was approved. My sister was going to get a new heart

11:43and she would be completely okay. When I reached dad's office, I showed him the video from the

11:48jewelry shop. Oh my God, I don't know what to say. She's my only sister. Why would she do this to me?

11:54You really broke our hearts when you believed your sister over us, dad. Aunt broke our happy family

12:00and you let her. The next day while mom and I were in the hospital with Rose, dad suddenly walked in

12:06with flowers. I am so, so sorry. And I know my apology is not going to be enough right now,

12:13but I love you all very much and I will do anything to have you back home. Mom didn't forgive him

12:19immediately, but once she heard that he'd kicked out aunt and Shirley for good, she was willing to

12:24give dad a second chance. And slowly, our family became whole again. I learned a big lesson here.

12:30Always look for the truth, even if it hurts. A good leader is a truth seeker.

12:36All right.
