Hayley's whiteboard was covered with doodles. We figured out how we were going to make the video without Mom or Dad finding out or having people think it's a hoax. It 3 weeks. Just the amount of time it took my knee to heal, And speaking of healing..

Things with Hayden have been going pretty amazing! Kind of.. Hayden's parents used to live in Maryland. They found a good house and a good school and want to move there for a bit! Hayden's parents are still in L.A and for now he's staying here. It's been going great having deep conversations when Annie is with her friends or working, I also tried Teaching him dance, and even singing together. I'm in cloud 9 with this boy.

Ugh i got distracted!

I finished explaining the plan to Hayley.

"Camera,  Annie's at Amanda's house so we have the vlog camera and we'll use that."

"Editing, like we discussed no editing straight to YouTube. raw footage."

"We might get in trouble for this Lilly." Hayley said.

"I know, but everyone deserves a voice." I said.


Hayley turned on the camera and gave me a thumbs up so i knew I can start. 

I stared in the camera and took a deep breath. I've never done this before. But it's time. 

"Hi, so you might be thinking, Annie you look different. Colorful streaks in my hair, braces on my teeth, and green eyes.. None fake.. And none Annie.. This person who's talking in the camera is not Annie. Nobody knows i'm making this video except for Hayley. I will get in trouble. So please just in case this gets taken down, save it, share it screen record it. My name is Lilly and I am Annie's twin. You totally don't believe me. So let's start out with some pictures." 

I held a picture of my ballet picture from last year. Me in my snowflake costume doing an arabesque on pointe. "Here's me, I am a dancer at Defying Arts Dance Academy, I mainly train ballet but love other styles. I was the front snowflake in the nutcracker last year." I said with a small smile.

I then held a picture of me and Annie when we were babies. She had pink sparkly pajamas on. The front said, "Mommy's girl" I was wearing fuzzy purple pajamas with stripes. In the picture we had our arms wrapped around each other. I had chocolate on my face and Annie's was wiped clean. "This is a picture of me and Annie, Annie of course has the pink sparkly pajamas with "mommy's girl" sewed in on the front. even when we were babies my own mother played favorites.While Annie and Hayley were in LA I was at home. My mom barley called me or said goodbye she just left. My dad was fine but something about my mom. It first started when I was 6 when Bratayley started. We were somewhat treated equally. Both in gymnastics. I was in dance and Annie was also in singing classes and trying to get with agency. Mommy asked if we wanted to be in videos everyday. I said "no," and declined a few times. But when I was older my mom never let me near the videos or anything. It's not like she didn't love me she just didn't want me to have success. If you think this is a lie, why would i lie about being neglected? Not having a chance to speak up because I don't have a music career or 10 million followers. My own parents play favorites, Annie gets this and this and this and what do i get! Nothing! I hate it and I want a voice! If you feel like you need to speak up, do it. everyone deserves a voice. Nobody she go through what I went through. I will get in trouble for making this. But if I do. Fuck you Mom and Dad.!" I said. 

Annie walked in. "Lilly what the hell are you doing?" She asked. "Speaking the hell up!" I said. Annie came into the frame and ran to cover the lens. Hayley quickly grabbed the camera and saved the footage to her phone. "You can't do that!" Annie said in fear "Too late!" I said. The whole world is going to know my name now! 

I titled the video "bratayley has been lying to you," 

And there we go! It's uploaded.

It took a half our before I heard a scream from downstairs. "LILLIANNA LEBLANC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I heard.

"Lills," Hayley said. 

I walked downstairs with the biggest "Ha ha you lose" face. My mom was crying her eyes out over the phone. 

My dad held his phone in my face. I can already see the video was number one on trending. "We saw what you posted. Do you know the damage you can do to us? We can lose our sponsors Lilly! Your mom! She might go to jail! It's too late to take the video down!"

My dad stopped yelling.

" We don't know what will come out of this. For now we're going to take a break until things simmer. If things go well we can let you become famous but if things don't..  We'll have to end the channel- "

My mom hung up. "Lillianna Marie you're grounded!" My Mom yelled. My dad calmed her down. "Get ready for dance you can skateboard there." He said.

I sighed I already had leggings on with a sports bra under my tank top. What else do I need? I grabbed my bag and my skateboard. 

My doctor said I shouldn't be risking myself for any other knee injuries because it was really close to being a torn ACL. Even if I wasn't better yet I had other things to worry about. My mom might go to jail!
My MOM might go to jail

My mom might go to jail! Jail! Slammer! Crime! hm.. maybe that won't be too bad. 

All of this is too stressful, with an hour until class starts I headed straight to the ramps. Skating is an escape from dancing, relationships, drama. But the second my bored touched that concrete I received glares. A girl around a year older than me came up to me. "You made that video for money Annie. You don't have a twin." She said. I kept skating. "It is real. Sorry to break it to you." I said. She punched me in the face and shoved me to the floor

I slipped off my board and rolled to the ground. I realized that there were more than one people hitting me now. There were 3. "What the heck!" I yelled. They were gone. I looked at my phone. it cracked. I had to get to dance now.

I carried my bag in one arm and my board in the other. I felt blood on my face. That's not good. I walked to the studio which was across from the ramps. The second I got in there I was crowded. 
"Lilly!" "What happened!" "i'll get ice!" I must've looked bad.. I looked into cracked phone. My eye was swollen and there was blood on my lip. All because of Annie..

She thought I was Annie
