00:00Hi, I'm Janet. When I was 16, I fell in love, and it was magical.
00:04But before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:07His name was Carter, and he was a dream come true.
00:10Every day I saw him, it was like the sun shined brighter.
00:13I miss you, darling. My heart aches when you're not around.
00:16I saw you 10 minutes ago, but it feels like an eternity.
00:19Babe, you're my world, my inspiration.
00:22The air I breathe, without you, I'm nothing.
00:24But with you, I feel like I could do anything.
00:26I love you so much.
00:28You're so sweet, you make my teeth hurt.
00:30You're like cotton candy dipped in chocolate fudge with rainbow sprinkles.
00:34Every time Carter held me in his arms, I melted like a popsicle on a hot day.
00:39He made me feel like I was the only girl in the world.
00:42With him at my side, I was unstoppable.
00:44I was at the top of my class in school, I was captain of the debate team, and class president.
00:49And Carter was my biggest cheerleader.
00:51Every time I reached a new goal, he bought me balloons and flowers, and we'd waltz down the hallway.
00:57Ouch, my foot.
00:58Sure, we stepped on a few toes, and a few grumpy people couldn't handle our public displays of affection.
01:04Jeez, gotta roam for goodness sake.
01:06But we didn't care.
01:07Our love was amazing.
01:09At home, it was just me and my dad, who was the head accountant at a huge company.
01:13He made a ton of money and worked really long hours, but he always made time for me.
01:18We played chess, watched movies, and I even cooked his favorite meals.
01:22Though one time, his face turned green, and he spent the rest of the night in the bathroom.
01:26Life was perfect.
01:27But a year later, everything changed.
01:29Dad started having problems with his boss, Mr. Saint.
01:32Mr. Saint owned my dad's company, and everyone in town loved him.
01:35He was filthy rich and donated a bunch of money to charities.
01:39But Dad hated him.
01:40I can't stand that man.
01:42He's a crook and a thief.
01:43If they only knew what he does behind closed doors, he's a rotten criminal, and he's bribed
01:48the police to look the other way.
01:50No way!
01:51Not Mr. Saint!
01:51I've seen it with my own eyes.
01:54Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Carter is Mr. Saint's son.
01:57And of course, Dad has no idea that he's my boyfriend.
02:01Dad had to be mistaken.
02:02Carter was an angel.
02:04No way his father could be a criminal.
02:06Sure, Mr. Saint was a little stuck up.
02:08Pissed me off that he always tried to set Carter up with his rich friend's daughters.
02:12One time, Carter was on a date, and I jumped out of the bushes dressed like a zombie.
02:16I pretended to bite Carter, and then we chased his date down the block.
02:20Another time, I gave Carter a smelly shirt to wear.
02:23It stinks so much that his date almost threw up at the table.
02:27Carter and I kept our relationship a secret.
02:29As far as our dads knew, Carter and I were just friends.
02:32Carter once even climbed through my bedroom window.
02:35What's that noise?
02:36I swear I heard voices.
02:37Oh, it was just me.
02:39Hey, Janet, how are you doing this evening?
02:40I'm fine, thanks for asking.
02:42I think I'll go to bed now.
02:43Jolly good idea.
02:44Good night, Janet.
02:45Good night.
02:46One day in the 10th grade, I competed for an internship at this huge tech
02:50company.
02:51We took a bunch of tests and had to give a big speech.
02:53My scores were the highest, and my speech got a standing ovation.
02:57But they gave it to some rich kid because his dad was friends with the CEO.
03:02The whole thing is rigged.
03:03That kid flunked the tests, and he slept through his own speech.
03:06It isn't fair.
03:07It doesn't make any sense.
03:09Janet?
03:10This is all wrong.
03:10The animals are running the zoos.
03:12The world has gone mad.
03:13All hope is lost.
03:15We're doomed.
03:16No one can save us.
03:17I had a bit of a breakdown.
03:19It wasn't my best moment.
03:21Carter felt really bad.
03:22He tried to cheer me up, but nothing helped.
03:24A week later, Carter ran up to me at school with an acceptance letter from the tech company
03:29with my name on it.
03:30Your internship starts next week.
03:32I told my dad what happened, so he pulled some strings.
03:34I was over the moon.
03:36Carter was the best boyfriend ever.
03:38But when I got home from school, my dad was furious.
03:41Mr. Saint told my dad he had to help him steal money out of the company to pay for Mr. Saint's
03:47new yacht in exchange for helping me get the internship.
03:50I can't believe you never told me about your relationship with Carter.
03:53And even worse, that you accepted a favor like this.
03:56I'm so sorry, Dad.
03:57I didn't know.
03:58I'll talk to Mr. Saint.
03:59I'll tell him I won't accept the internship.
04:01It's too late.
04:02I already tried that.
04:03He'll keep hanging this internship over my head to force me to do more illegal things.
04:07I won't do it.
04:08I'm quitting tomorrow.
04:09We're leaving this place for good.
04:11I can't believe this is happening.
04:12I'm so disappointed in you, Janet.
04:14I thought I taught you better than this.
04:16Dad didn't speak to me for the rest of the night, and I felt horrible.
04:20I wanted to crawl into a hole.
04:21Maybe not a real one.
04:23I'm terrified of spiders.
04:24But the next day, my world turned upside down.
04:27When Dad went back to work to resign from the company, he was arrested and charged with
04:31fraud to have to end embezzlement.
04:33The newspaper said he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from Mr. Saint's company.
04:38At the trial, the lawyer had a ton of evidence against him.
04:41Guilty.
04:42The judge sentenced my dad to 20 years in jail.
04:46I didn't do it, honey.
04:47Mr. Saint framed me.
04:48We have to do something.
04:49We can tell the judge or go to the press.
04:52It'll only make things worse.
04:53Mr. Saint has too many connections.
04:55Promise me you won't tell anyone.
04:57He'll ruin your life just like he ruined mine.
05:00My blood boiled at the thought of Mr. Saint getting away with it.
05:03But I promised my dad I wouldn't say anything.
05:06Soon, we lost our house and I had to go live with my grandmother in a tiny apartment across
05:10town.
05:11After the trial, Carter came over to visit.
05:13I'm so sorry about your dad.
05:14He seems like such a nice guy.
05:16I can't believe he was a crook.
05:18I was stunned.
05:19I wanted to slap Carter across the face for saying that about my dad.
05:22My dad's not a crook.
05:24It's your dad that's...
05:25I want you to know that I don't care about your dad's crimes.
05:28Even if he did try to steal from my dad's company, I forgive him.
05:31But most of all, I still love you and I want us to be together.
05:34I was about to explode.
05:36But before I could say a word, Carter put his finger to my lips.
05:40Don't speak.
05:40I know this is all a lot.
05:42But we'll get through this together.
05:43I promise.
05:44Our love will triumph over it all.
05:46Then he kissed me on my forehead and left.
05:48That night, Carter and his dad took their new yacht to some tropical island and he sent
05:53me a photo.
05:54Seeing Mr. Saint and Carter's stupid, smiling faces on that dumb yacht made me so angry I
06:00could scream.
06:01I called Carter to dump him, but my calls wouldn't go through.
06:04Money was tight at my grandma's house, so I decided to get a summer job so I could stay
06:08at the private school for my senior year.
06:10I applied everywhere, but no one would hire me.
06:13They'd say they didn't have openings, but I'd hear them whispering about me behind my back.
06:17You can't hire her.
06:18Her father's a criminal.
06:20He's a thief and a liar.
06:21She's probably just like him.
06:23I wanted to punch them in the face, but I kept walking.
06:26Everywhere I went, people gossiped about my dad.
06:28After a while, I learned to ignore them.
06:30Eventually, I found a job at an old electronics store near the edge of town.
06:34My first day there, I met a boy named Vincent.
06:37Vincent was kind of weird at first.
06:39I'd catch him staring at me across the aisles.
06:41Every time I'd say hi, he'd walk away.
06:44And one time, I was walking home from work, and I caught Vincent taking pictures of me with
06:48his phone.
06:48What's your problem?
06:50I had a feeling it was you.
06:51Your dad's that crook that worked for Mr. Saint.
06:53Vincent showed me a news article on his phone with a horrible picture of me and my dad from
06:58the trial.
06:59What's the name of the jail he's in?
07:00The jail is called Janet Punches Weirdos.
07:03Hmm.
07:03Never heard of it.
07:04Weird.
07:05Janet Punches.
07:06I'd had enough.
07:07I punched Vincent and shoved him to the ground.
07:09My dad is not a crook.
07:11He's innocent.
07:12That jerk, Mr. Saint, framed him.
07:14It was the first time I said it out loud.
07:16Vincent was shocked.
07:17Then he said something totally unexpected.
07:19Join the club.
07:20Vincent told me that Mr. Saint framed his dad for a crime a few years ago.
07:25My dad was a reporter.
07:26He was investigating Mr. Saint.
07:28He spent months working undercover as Mr. Saint's butler.
07:31He almost had enough evidence to take him down, but before he could finish his story,
07:35Mr. Saint found out and planted stolen money in my dad's office.
07:38My dad tried to fight it, but Mr. Saint paid off the judge.
07:41Vincent's dad made Vincent promise not to say anything, too.
07:45I can't keep quiet any longer.
07:47Neither can I.
07:48But what can we do?
07:48We both promised our dads we wouldn't say anything.
07:51We can finish your dad's story and publish it anonymously.
07:54No one would ever know it was us.
07:56Yes.
07:56I just got an idea.
07:57We can finish my dad's story and publish it anonymously.
08:00Yes.
08:00I just said that.
08:02It was my idea.
08:03Nuh-uh.
08:04It was my idea.
08:05I literally just said it three seconds ago.
08:07No!
08:07It's my idea!
08:09You're making me angry, Janet.
08:10Fine!
08:11Fine!
08:11I'm sorry!
08:12It's okay.
08:13It's not like I'm angry.
08:14God!
08:15Such a weirdo!
08:16That night, Vincent invited me to his house.
08:18Vincent found his dad's old laptop in the attic, but when he tried to pull up his dad's story,
08:22we learned that the computer had been wiped clean.
08:25Oh no, it's not here.
08:26All the evidence is gone.
08:28It's all over.
08:29There's nothing we can do.
08:30I can go undercover as Carter's girlfriend.
08:32I could snoop around his house and find the evidence.
08:34You'd do that?
08:35Yeah.
08:36Vincent stood tall like a soldier and saluted me.
08:39What are you doing?
08:40It's just, you're my hero.
08:41You're so brave and selfless.
08:43I heard that Carter is the worst.
08:45He's a spoiled jerk.
08:46His voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and his brain's the size of a peanut.
08:50It's gonna be torture to pretend to be his girlfriend.
08:52I didn't tell Vincent about me and Carter.
08:54Carter returned to town a week later, and I invited myself to his house.
08:58Every time I looked at Carter's face, I thought about Mr. Saint and what he did to my dad.
09:02Carter tried to kiss me, and I almost gagged.
09:05Are you okay?
09:06I must be coming down with something.
09:08Do you mind getting me some tea and maybe some soup?
09:11When Carter left the room, I snuck into his dad's study and snooped around.
09:15I took pictures of a bunch of secret papers and files and planted a recording device.
09:19Just as I was about to leave, I ran into Carter and Mr. Saint.
09:22What is she doing here?
09:24Oh, Mr. Saint.
09:25I'm so glad I found you.
09:27You saved my life.
09:28You're such a good man for exposing my dad and all the horrible things he did.
09:32How can I ever repay you?
09:33I know.
09:34I'll clean your study.
09:35I snatched a napkin from Carter and started cleaning.
09:38I knocked over an expensive vase, spilled water on the floor, and tossed a bunch of important
09:42papers in the trash.
09:43She's so grateful, Dad.
09:44Isn't she the best?
09:45I spent weeks at Carter's house, sending him on crazy errands so I could snoop around.
09:50Then, I'd rush over to Vincent's to show him what I'd found.
09:53We spent hours combing through the evidence.
09:55It was strange spending so much time with Vincent.
09:57He and Carter were so different.
09:59Vincent wasn't rich, but he was really smart, and his determination was contagious.
10:04Vincent and I wrote a bunch of articles that we posted online under a fake name, and before
10:08we knew it, the stories went viral, and the police showed up at Mr. Saint's door.
10:13We did it.
10:13I can't believe it.
10:14He's finally going down.
10:16Vincent pulled me into his arms, and my heart skipped a beat.
10:19What are you doing?
10:20I'm not sure.
10:20Then, Vincent kissed me, and it was magical, but I was so confused.
10:25Vincent wasn't even my type.
10:26Suddenly, my cell phone rang, and I pulled away.
10:29It was Carter, and he wanted to see me.
10:31I should go to, uh, get more evidence.
10:33Good idea.
10:34I raced out of there to Carter's house.
10:36I found him sitting on the porch, looking really sad.
10:39I'm scared, Janet.
10:40They just arrested my dad.
10:41He might go to jail, and we'll lose everything.
10:43All our money, our houses, and our maids.
10:46I don't know what I'll do.
10:47I don't know how to be poor.
10:48I don't even know how to use the toaster.
10:50What if I need toast, Janet?
10:51How can I eat a sandwich without any toast?
10:53Carter cried in my arms, and suddenly, I felt really guilty.
10:57Memories of our love came rushing back to me.
11:00I hated seeing him like this.
11:01We went to his room to watch MSA videos to cheer him up.
11:04Carter drifted off to sleep.
11:05Then, I saw Mr. Saint in his study paying off the judge.
11:09Drop the charges, and there's more where that came from.
11:12I raced over to Vincent's, but when I got there,
11:14a bunch of strange men were searching his house.
11:16Then out of nowhere, someone pulls me into the bushes.
11:19They're after me.
11:20Mr. Saint found out I posted the articles from my computer.
11:23They're destroying all our evidence.
11:24Tell me you found something.
11:26I told Vincent about Mr. Saint and the judge.
11:28I know that prune-faced man.
11:30He's the judge that put my father away.
11:32Mine too.
11:33We have to publish another article.
11:34This is the proof we need to get our dads out of prison.
11:36It's too dangerous.
11:38Danger is my middle name.
11:39Your middle name is Simon.
11:41Yes, that's my second middle name.
11:43But the third one is danger.
11:45And the fourth one is triangle.
11:46And, ah, forget it.
11:47Just text me the video, and I'll finish this.
11:49I have to protect you.
11:50You're a delicate flower.
11:51I'm stronger than you are.
11:53You know what I mean.
11:54I texted Vincent the video.
11:55Then he kissed me and ran off.
11:57My heart raced as he disappeared into the darkness.
12:00But when I got home, something unexpected happened.
12:02I walked into my room and saw Carter standing there with a huge smile on his face.
12:07It's over.
12:08What's over?
12:09My dad caught the guy that's been writing all those lies about him.
12:11He'll go to jail just like his lying father.
12:14Carter turned on the TV.
12:16Vincent's face popped up on the screen.
12:18He'd been arrested.
12:18My heart sank.
12:20Then Carter got down on one knee.
12:22Will you marry me, Janet?
12:23You're my rock and my sunshine.
12:25I couldn't have gotten through this without you.
12:26Our love saved me.
12:28I didn't know what to say.
12:29At one time, I dreamed of marrying Carter.
12:32But the thought of Vincent rotting in jail made me sick to my stomach.
12:35I ran out of there and straight to the police station.
12:38I showed them my secret recordings and all the other evidence I'd saved on my phone.
12:43The police released Vincent.
12:44But when they went to go arrest Mr. Saint, he was gone.
12:47He'd left town without a trace.
12:49A couple weeks later, my dad and Vincent's dad were finally back home.
12:52It broke Carter's heart to learn the truth about his dad.
12:55I tried to reach out to him, but he refused to take my calls.
12:58I heard he and his mother moved away to a farm where Carter learned to make bread.
13:02As for Vincent and I, we fell in love.
13:04We studied journalism in college, and after we graduated, we became investigative journalists.
13:09We make a great team.
13:10You're an excellent sidekick.
13:11I'm not a sidekick.
13:12You're the sidekick.
13:14You're standing by my side, and when we first met, you kicked me.
13:17Actually, I shoved you and punched you in the face.
13:20Details, details.
