00:00Hi, I'm Alina from Hawaii. Please like and subscribe mom right on the ocean shore, but dad left before I was born.
00:07According to mom, that's because she was under a love spell that ran in our family.
00:12She could only fall in love with people who didn't love her back.
00:16And apparently, I was under the same spell too.
00:20Mom told me the only way I could avoid the curse was by staying away from all boys.
00:25So whenever we left the house, I'd march around with a toy water gun and sprayed it at any guy that came my way.
00:33Girls rule! Boys are dumb! Any boy who comes close is gonna get sprayed!
00:38I also went to an all-girls school and even wore a custom I hate boys t-shirt.
00:43Then one day, everything changed.
00:46I was swimming in the ocean when the cutest guy ever glided over to me and stared into my eyes.
00:52Oh, crud. I swam away as fast as I could and tumbled on the shore, my face full of sand.
00:58Stay strong, Alina. Mom prepared you for this.
01:02Has anyone told you you swim like a fish with cramps?
01:06I do not!
01:07Also, any guy that tries to talk to me gets a face full of sand.
01:11How about you help me eat some pineapple cake instead?
01:14If you don't like it, you can go back to being mad.
01:17Pineapple cake was my weakness, so I agreed to sit with the guy for a picnic.
01:22I found out his name was Sage and we got to know each other a bit.
01:26I told him all about my crazy life, my family's love curse, and how I wasn't supposed to talk to boys.
01:32A love curse? Your mom sounds like a nutcase.
01:36My mom isn't a nutcase.
01:38I don't know, she says it's been in my family for generations.
01:40I felt guilty for betraying mom, but I was having fun with Sage and he didn't seem like a bad guy.
01:47So after that day, we secretly became friends.
01:50We either met at the beach or we'd go over to each other's houses when no one was home.
01:55Then one year later, Sage and I were sitting on my roof talking, when I heard mom get home.
02:00But when I went down to see her, I suddenly heard Sage yell.
02:04Uh, I could use a hand here.
02:06Who are you?
02:07Sage, you idiot!
02:08So, you know this boy?
02:10Before I could answer, Sage fell from our roof and landed in our hammock.
02:15Oof, lucky fall.
02:17Yeah, Alina and I are friends, but we never told you about it because of your wacko family curse.
02:22No offense, ma'am.
02:24Please stop talking!
02:26Mom, it's not like that.
02:27Sage is a really cool guy.
02:29But mom's face was red with anger and she sent Sage home immediately.
02:34I was sure the whole thing would blow over.
02:36But a couple of days later, I saw that Sage had changed his number and deleted all of his social media accounts.
02:43And when I went to his house, I saw his family had moved out.
02:46Tears stung my eyes.
02:48I just knew mom had sent him away.
02:50And when I confronted her, she got mad.
02:53I did no such thing.
02:55But you shouldn't even be thinking about that boy.
02:58You disobeyed me and betrayed my trust.
03:01You sent my best friend away because you're a lunatic who believes in some family legend.
03:07Sage was right.
03:08You are nuts.
03:09And I'm not following your rules anymore.
03:12And I stuck to my word.
03:14I forced mom to send me to a co-ed school and our relationship went downhill from there.
03:18I did everything I could to go against mom's rules.
03:22I dated every boy I could get and made sure to rub it in mom's face.
03:26Oh, Tommy.
03:28Your lips are so soft.
03:30Grab Annette and catch me.
03:32I must be dreaming.
03:34I knew I was making her crazy.
03:36But I just couldn't forgive her for sending Sage away.
03:38One night, I was at a high school party with my newest boyfriend, Connor.
03:42And we were dancing the night away.
03:44Then suddenly, a girl pointed to the door.
03:46Oh, my God.
03:47It's the new guy from school.
03:49Who invited him?
03:51He's a criminal.
03:53At that second, I saw someone smoking a freaking cigarette.
03:56And my heart dropped when I realized it was Sage.
03:59I hadn't seen him in over a year.
04:02What had happened to him?
04:04Whoa, babe.
04:05Are you okay?
04:06Do you know that guy?
04:08Ugh.
04:09Sage walked over to me and to my horror, handed me his cigarette.
04:13Good to see you again, stranger.
04:15If you could throw this away from me, I'd really appreciate it.
04:18Ew.
04:19I don't want that.
04:20Sage, what is going on?
04:23This isn't who you are.
04:24You don't know who I am anymore, Alina.
04:26Good luck dating this weirdo, bro.
04:29Did you know she's under some love spell?
04:32Sage walked away and I was totally speechless.
04:35What a jerk.
04:36Later that night, I got more scoop on him from some kids.
04:40Sage went to Juvie once because he smashed a lady's car with a bat.
04:44And one time, Sage stole a little girl's kitten and ran away with it.
04:49There had to be some kind of mistake.
04:51That entire week, Sage ignored me at school, even though he stared at me 24-7, especially
04:57when I was with my boyfriend.
04:59One time, Connor bought me a hazelnut latte and I was about to kiss him on the cheek to
05:04thank him.
05:05But then stupid Sage walked by and I was so distracted, I ended up spilling coffee all
05:10over myself.
05:11Good God, he was freaking everywhere.
05:14Like a really handsome mafia guy from a horror movie.
05:17One afternoon, I was studying in the library when I saw Sage reading a book there.
05:22And suddenly, he smiled at me mischievously.
05:25So, you really are dating boys now.
05:28I'm sorry I said that mean stuff about you the other day.
05:31I was feeling protective of you and wanted to scare Connor away.
05:34Oh, are you also sorry for ghosting me for a year?
05:39Look, my life is more complicated now than it used to be.
05:43But things at school are normal.
05:45So, maybe we can try to be friends again?
05:47What do you say?
05:48Sage squeezed my hand and I felt butterflies.
05:52Then suddenly, a hand pulled us apart and it was Connor's.
05:56He insisted on sitting with us since he didn't trust me sitting with a so-called criminal.
06:00But Sage just left soon after Connor came, which made my heart sink.
06:06Later, Connor ended up walking me out and pulled me close under some lovely trees.
06:11I know you and that Sage guy used to be close, but it's obvious he's changed.
06:15The good thing is, I have you all to myself now.
06:19No guy will come in between us.
06:21Connor kissed me and that's when I realized I didn't feel any sparks or anything between us then.
06:27What was wrong with me?
06:29I am so confused right now.
06:32You're perfect.
06:33I'm awkward.
06:34And I don't think I can date you.
06:37Something's stopping me, but I have no idea what it is yet.
06:40Pull it together, Alina.
06:42I gotta go.
06:44I ran off feeling really guilty about dumping Connor.
06:47He was as sweet and perfect as a guy could be.
06:50He was furious with me that whole week and started telling everyone what a witch I was.
06:55I guess I really hurt him.
06:57One afternoon, I walked to the bleachers for some peace and quiet when I saw Sage sitting there alone.
07:03Oh, great.
07:04You're here.
07:05Don't worry, don't worry.
07:06I'm leaving.
07:08Alina, can you keep a secret?
07:10There's something I've been wanting to tell you since I came here.
07:13Sage, you can tell me anything.
07:15Okay, then.
07:16I'm not a criminal.
07:18All those stories about me are lies.
07:20The real criminal is my dad.
07:22He got me involved one time in a robbery, and I got caught.
07:26That's why I had to leave town, change my number, and delete my accounts and stuff.
07:30I'm so sorry I didn't tell you.
07:32The whole town is now filled with lies about me.
07:35So, you stealing the kitten was a lie?
07:38Of course.
07:40I helped a kitten down from a frickin' tree.
07:42But it was hard having everyone hate me.
07:45I got depressed and started doing dumb things like smoke.
07:48Don't worry.
07:49I'm gonna quit.
07:50It felt so good to have my friend back.
07:52Except for some reason, he didn't feel like just a friend anymore.
07:57Without thinking, I pulled Sage close and kissed him.
08:01Oh, man.
08:02I think I like you.
08:04And I know I like you.
08:06And from that day on, Sage and I were an item.
08:09He was still the dork I knew from before.
08:11But he was all grown up.
08:14And God, I was falling harder for him by the day.
08:17But there was one person who was really upset about it.
08:21Mom.
08:22And one night when I was in 12th grade, she totally lost it.
08:26Do you not remember how Sage shut you out for a year and broke your heart?
08:31You're going down a dark, dark path.
08:34And you're still seriously, seriously crazy.
08:38I've been dating for a while now and nothing bad has happened.
08:42Because I know how to take care of myself.
08:44I don't blame stuff on magic spell nonsense.
08:48This is different.
08:50You love Sage.
08:51And I can't have you getting hurt.
08:53So if you decide to stay with this person after high school, I'm out of the picture.
08:58I won't come to your wedding.
09:00I won't support it.
09:02It's just too much for me.
09:04I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
09:07Mom and I had never had a good relationship.
09:09But now, I just had it with her.
09:12So after I graduated, I moved in with Sage and we were happy together.
09:16Even though I still wasn't speaking to Mom.
09:19Then one day, I was at the mall when I saw a gorgeous aquamarine engagement ring.
09:24I felt butterflies and pictured Sage proposing to me with it.
09:28I snapped a picture of it and sent it to him.
09:30I sure hoped he could take a hint.
09:32But when I arrived home, Sage was sitting on the couch with all the lights off.
09:37Hey babe, what's going on?
09:39My dad got arrested again.
09:41For two months.
09:42I'm so sorry to hear that, Sage.
09:45But I have something that may cheer you up.
09:48It's about a text I sent you.
09:50About an engagement ring.
09:52Ahem, ahem.
09:53Alina, we can't get engaged.
09:55What if I end up just like my dad?
09:57I can't do this to you.
09:59I love you too much.
10:00I'm gonna stay at my cousin's place for a while to think things over.
10:03I'm sorry.
10:05Before I could blink an eye, Sage left and I was shaking with shock.
10:09Did he just break up with me?
10:11That's when I burst into tears and drove over to mom's house.
10:15For the first time in years, she held me and tried to calm me down.
10:20I'm so sorry about everything.
10:23You were right.
10:24The curse is real and I'm such an idiot for not believing you.
10:29I wish Sage and I had never even met.
10:32Oh darling, don't say that.
10:35Listen, I'm very happy you came by.
10:38I want to apologize for everything.
10:40While you were away, I started dating someone who treated me like royalty.
10:45And I realized something.
10:47The curse was never real.
10:49It was all in our heads.
10:51Yeah, that's what I thought too.
10:53But Sage left, mom.
10:55Just like dad left you.
10:57That's just how love is, honey.
11:00It's hard.
11:01But it can also be the most wonderful thing in the world.
11:04I stayed with mom for a few months after that to think things through.
11:08Sage flooded my phone with apology texts and calls, but I needed space from him.
11:14Then one day, I went to the doctor and she told me some news.
11:17I was pregnant.
11:19Except there was one problem.
11:21I didn't trust my boyfriend one bit to raise a kid with me.
11:24How many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry and that I won't leave you again?
11:29I was just upset about my dad and I got scared for a second.
11:32Well, how do I know you're not going to get scared for a second time and leave again?
11:37I don't need you to help me raise this baby.
11:39So just leave, okay?
11:41But the truth was, I missed Sage more than anything.
11:45And nine months later in the delivery room, I was still missing him.
11:50Then suddenly, mom walked in with the nurses who were carrying my beautiful baby Michaela.
11:55And behind them was Sage.
11:58Oh my god, what are you doing here?
12:00I thought I told you to stay away.
12:02Alina, listen to me.
12:04My dad's out of the picture.
12:06I reported him and got him arrested after he confessed to more crimes.
12:09I don't want someone dangerous like that in my life anymore.
12:13I love you and I want to raise our daughter together.
12:16I won't let anything or anyone get in the way of that.
12:20So is that your way of saying you want to meet Michaela?
12:24Let me see that gorgeous face.
12:26Don't let your broken heart stay broken forever.
12:29Because life is all about loving and letting yourself be loved.
