Short filmTranscript
00:04I felt a hand claw at my throat in desperation to dislodge the item, keeping me from breathing.
00:09Oh my god, Aria! Breathe!
00:13Last time I ever chew ice.
00:14Are you going to the Liam Cross concert?
00:16I'm already going!
00:18But I need you to go with me.
00:20I got us front row seats. We can see him up close.
00:23I don't even like Liam Cross.
00:25Yes, you do!
00:26Come on, we can see him up close!
00:28Your GPA dropped a whole point, Aria.
00:31Do you think Stanford would accept a girl who can't even keep a 3.8?
00:34Mom, it's just one semester.
00:35One semester is enough.
00:36What about your applications? You haven't finished a single essay.
00:42I have to go.
00:43Hey Meg, change of plans. I'll be at your place in 10 minutes.
00:49Sometimes the only way to escape reality is with terrible pop music.
00:52Seriously, anything is better than staying here.
00:54I'm going to the library! I'm staying at Megan's tonight! Don't wait up!
00:59You should definitely go with this one.
01:02Don't you think it shows off a little too much? I don't know.
01:06Ass?
01:07Yes.
01:09That.
01:12It looks gorgeous!
01:13You never go out of your comfort zone.
01:15Let me do your makeup too.
01:16Fine, but nothing heavy.
01:18I just got my skin clear and I don't want your makeup clogging my pores.
01:21Primer, highlighter, blush.
01:22No foundation.
01:23But I am putting these lashes on you.
01:26Is that me?
01:27Yes!
01:27I was more well endowed than Megan in certain areas, so the dress felt like it was about to burst.
01:32But looking in the mirror, it didn't look bad at all.
01:35Now me!
01:39Oh god, I forgot your hair!
01:41I'll just curl it.
01:42Then I have to straighten mine.
01:43We can't both curl.
01:44I will never understand girl rules.
01:48You have two.
01:49Did you know I changed my mind?
01:50Your mom always bugs you before exams.
01:53I knew you'd crack.
01:56Your 16th birthday present is still ridiculous, by the way.
01:59Hey!
01:59My music, my rules.
02:01I don't even know this song!
02:03Too bad, because I do.
02:06A few years ago, I'd been the exact same girl.
02:09Different artist.
02:10We don't talk about that phase.
02:14Thank you, Megan's mother.
02:16Successful defense attorney for the wealthy and probably guilty.
02:19She defends the allegedly guilty.
02:24Watch it, jerk!
02:25Are you okay?
02:27Yeah.
02:28What was that about?
02:30Probably some weirdo.
02:32Come on, we're gonna miss the openers.
02:34I brushed it off and focused on distracting myself from the annoying songs that would soon be stuck in my
02:39head.
02:40At least it wouldn't be my mom's voice stuck in my ears.
02:44My feet hurt.
02:45My ears hurt.
02:46Somehow even my eyelids hurt.
02:48This is it!
02:49He's coming out!
02:52I'm gonna get a drink.
02:57I wanted Ethan to see it.
02:59To prove I was completely fine without him.
03:08He was wearing tight black jeans and a white V-neck.
03:11Tattoos crawled up and down his body.
03:13Every girl in the world wanted a piece of him.
03:16Except me, of course.
03:18So why was I oogling his body like everyone else?
03:21The alcohol.
03:22That had to be it.
03:24We were so close I could see the sweat on his forehead.
03:27I could have touched him if I reached out.
03:28My heart stopped.
03:32It was getting hard to breathe.
03:34Everyone around me was screaming.
03:37Where are you going?
03:39Get it together.
03:40He's just a guy.
03:47You missed it!
03:48He was looking right at you.
03:49As soon as you left, you went to the other side.
03:51Oops.
03:52Are you drinking again?
03:53Is the concert almost over?
03:54I want to go to a party after this.
03:56Don't rush it.
03:57We still have meet and greets.
03:58Whatever.
04:01Oh my god, I love this song!
04:03I know!
04:04Here, sing it!
04:05This is going on everything!
04:07I did what any normal, half-drunk teenage girl would do.
04:09I threw up into the microphone all over his hand.
04:12I'm totally kidding.
04:13But I did think about it for a nanosecond.
04:17Did that really just happen?
04:23You finished both of those?
04:25How are you not drunk?
04:28I think I am.
04:29We still have VIP meet and greet.
04:32Can you act like a normal person for five minutes?
04:34Define normal.
04:42Passes, please!
04:45I think I left it in the car!
04:47Go ahead, Meg!
04:48I'll be right back!
04:51Oh, thank god.
04:52I was so exhausted from the heels and the alcohol
04:54that I somehow forgot what I came out here to get.
04:57Megan, turn off the lights.
04:59My head's killing me.
05:01Oh, shit.
05:01Shit, shit, shit.
05:02This is not good.
05:07Stop screaming!
05:08You stop screaming!
05:09How much did I have to drink?
05:11I don't know, but how did you get in my car?
05:13Pretty sure this isn't your car.
05:15Oh, shit.
05:16This is even worse.
05:17Oh!
05:18Cheese and fries!
05:20Slow down before I puke all over you!
05:23Did you just say cheese and fries?
05:25Don't make fun of my catchphrases.
05:26Why are you driving like a maniac?
05:28This was my last show near my hometown,
05:30and they're trying to find out where I'm going.
05:35Well, since I've apparently been kidnapped by a famous person,
05:39Aria Morgan.
05:40Nice to meet you.
05:42What now?
05:43You're real!
05:44This isn't a dream!
05:50Wait, you're the girl who sang to me in the crowd.
05:54Technically, you sang to everyone.
05:56I just sang back.
05:58Then sing something else.
05:59For me.
06:02Megan got an Uber.
06:03If I don't answer soon, she's calling the cops.
06:05So what do we do?
06:06First, we stop making this worse.
06:08What was that?
06:12Flat tire.
06:14Pull over.
06:14I can call someone.
06:15Open the trunk.
06:16Now.
06:19You've done this before?
06:20Grab the spare.
06:21You're terrifyingly calm.
06:23Panic wastes time.
06:27Oh!
06:29Why do you know this?
06:31Long story.
06:32Bad car.
06:33Worst date.
06:34And Megan?
06:35Damn alcohol.
06:44Okay, game plan.
06:46Where to?
06:47My place.
06:47You're soaked.
06:48And you shouldn't go home drunk.
06:50That is not as safe as you think it sounds.
06:53I'm not kidnapping you.
06:55You're driving a stolen BMW with me inside it.
07:00Into the wrong car.
07:03Still sounds like fan behavior.
07:05Fame really damaged you.
07:10I went because Megan dragged me.
07:13I just didn't want to sit home listening to my mother scream about college.
07:17Whoever made you feel trapped, his loss.
07:20Careful.
07:20That almost sounded sincere.
07:22Don't tell anyone.
07:23It was one of those rare moments.
07:27Is this your house?
07:28Yeah.
07:29Run.
07:30Tonight, she can't go home.
07:32If she goes back, the paparazzi will track into a shardy all the way from the car.
07:36It's not safe for you to go home tonight.
07:38They'll follow your car and never stop stalking you.
07:42Take yourself at home.
07:43I'll clear out the party so you can rest.
07:45Not much of a talker anymore?
07:47Oh, please.
07:48You were bragging about how anyone would love to be kidnapped by you.
07:51There she is.
07:53I uploaded the music online with just a few seconds of courage.
07:57And I love the way you tell the truth.
08:04I've never met anyone like you.
08:10After the call, stay here.
08:12There are spare clothes in the dresser.
08:14My sister leaves stuff here.
08:17You too, Liam Cross.
08:22Oh my God.
08:23Did you really spend the night at Liam Cross' house?
08:24Aria, answer me.
08:25Tell me this is a rumor because if it's true, your mom is going to lose her mind.
08:29I can't talk about this right now.
08:31I gotta go.
08:33I didn't know how you take it, so I brought both.
08:36One with sugar, one without.
08:38I figured guessing was safer than waking the whole house.
08:43Diabetes, please.
08:46Also, thanks.
08:48I can drive you home.
08:50Or before you leave, would you hear something?
08:52A new song.
08:52No one's heard it yet.
08:54Since you're not impressed by me, I thought maybe you'd give me the most honest opinion.
08:58I don't know.
08:59You want me to judge your music?
09:02Exactly.
09:04Okay.
09:06Lead the way, rock star.
09:17This is the one room in this house that actually feels like mine.
09:21It's incredible.
09:23Fair warning.
09:24This is rough.
09:25Just play it.
09:27I'm not angry anymore.
09:30Just a little bit let down.
09:34I know I could have been different if you would have been.
09:37This is real.
09:43Why don't you release music like this?
09:47Because my manager says...
09:54Unless you'd want to grab breakfast first.
09:56I do love pancakes.
10:01Very incognito.
10:02No one would ever recognize the international superstar in a baseball cap.
10:07It's worked so far.
10:10Sometimes I miss being nobody.
10:14You know, Bean.
10:18Trust me.
10:19Being nobody isn't as great as you think.
10:22You're not nobody, Aria.
10:35Not yet.
10:36But they will.
10:37They don't know who I am, right?
10:40Yeah, I saw it.
10:41No, she's not my girlfriend.
10:44It's not what it looks like, Vincent.
10:47We should get you home.
10:48Now.
10:49Liam!
10:49I'm sorry.
10:50This is exactly what I was afraid of.
10:53You know, what if the tabloids figure out who you are?
10:56I thought I could warn you early.
10:58You don't have to feel bad.
11:02You don't have to feel bad.
11:03I knew what I was getting into.
11:04You didn't get into anything.
11:06I dragged you into this by accident.
11:08That's your excuse for getting my number?
11:11Is it working?
11:24Last night was the most fun I've had in a really long time.
11:27Write the real stuff, not the garbage your manager wants.
11:31Thanks for the adventure.
11:34Where have you been?
11:35I called you 12 times.
11:39I can't.
11:40She's right here.
11:43Nobody, Mom.
11:44I'm going to my room.
11:48It's viral.
11:49They posted everything.
11:54Have you seen Twitter?
11:56Hashtag Liam's mystery girl is treading worldwide.
11:59I'm looking at it right now.
12:00They don't know it's me.
12:01And the front row part.
12:03By the mic.
12:03Fans already saved it.
12:04They clipped you.
12:05I'm on YouTube.
12:06Multiple angles.
12:08You can see my face.
12:16It's fine.
12:17Nobody knows who I am.
12:19For now.
12:19Be careful.
12:23They know my school.
12:25Everyone knows.
12:28Oh my God.
12:28Are you the girl from the Liam Cross video?
12:30It's totally her.
12:31This was supposed to be romantic.
12:33Now it rewrote my whole life.
12:34I can't even walk to class without being filmed.
12:36This is a nightmare.
12:43So, you and Liam Cross, huh?
12:45Go away, Ethan.
12:46I saw you out there singing like you were somebody.
12:49Funny how the world notices, right?
12:51No.
12:51It's not that I changed.
12:53Maybe I made a mistake.
12:56I was always interesting, Ethan.
12:58You just didn't bother to look.
13:02The videos of you singing have over 10 million views.
13:05Labels want to know who you are.
13:08Opportunities?
13:09A record deal, Miss Morgan.
13:11Are you interested?
13:12I need time to think.
13:14Vincent called you, didn't he?
13:16Don't trust everything he says.
13:18Call me tonight, please.
13:21Standing in the empty hallway.
13:23My phone is lighting up.
13:25And for the first time, I realize our world isn't waiting anymore.
13:32Hey.
13:33Hey.
13:34So your manager offered me a record deal.
13:36I know.
13:37That's what I was afraid of.
13:39If he's offering you a deal, it's because he thinks he can use you.
13:42What if this is my one shot?
13:44Then I'll support you.
13:45But I want you to go in with your eyes open.
13:48Before hanging up, I stop talking about contracts and work.
13:51No matter what Vincent decides, I want to see you one more time,
13:54just as Liam and Aria, not as part of any business arrangement.
13:57I want you to come.
13:58Mom, you said you'd like that.
14:00Saturday.
14:00We'll meet.
14:01I'd like that.
14:02Okay.
14:06It's two in the morning.
14:07I didn't notice.
14:12Aria!
14:13It's two a.m.
14:14Who are you talking to?
14:15Nobody, Mom!
14:17It's not a date.
14:19It's not a date.
14:20Then why have you changed five times?
14:22Because I want to look...
14:24Oh, I...
14:26It's antis...
14:27I'm appropriate.
14:30It's not a date.
14:31Okay.
14:41You look...
14:42If you say different without the mini dress, I'm going back inside.
14:45I was going to say great.
14:47That's why being around you feels different.
14:50You treat me like I'm just...
14:52a person.
14:53You are just a person.
14:55A person who can't change attire.
14:57I know.
14:58And honestly, you should see the way I tried.
15:02Then stop trying to be perfect.
15:04Okay.
15:04Then...
15:05Can I be real with you?
15:07Want to hear it?
15:07Write the album like that.
15:09All of it.
15:09It's just...
15:10I'm so in love with you.
15:12Whatever you want to do is oh cry with me.
15:16I know.
15:17I'd like to sign you to our label.
15:20So you control my image, my social media, and my public appearances?
15:26Standard industry terms.
15:30You mean with Liam?
15:32The public is already interested in your connection.
15:35I told you not to do this, Vincent!
15:37I'm not signing this.
15:38Not today.
15:39This says you want to control my schedule and own the music I create.
15:43And it even demands a collaborative promotional push with your current artists.
15:47So using our relationship as marketing...
15:50Let me help you.
15:52Then let me help you?
15:53Let him, you're choosing.
15:54I'm not a girl for your content.
15:56I'm not an accessory.
15:57Aria, wait.
15:59I'm sorry I didn't warn you about Vincent.
16:00I know the terms are bad.
16:01But making music, it's the first thing I've actually wanted to chase.
16:04Maybe this is my few seconds of courage.
16:06If you truly want to go down this road, I'll help.
16:08But not through Vincent anymore.
16:09Then let me help you.
16:10Not through Vincent.
16:11Through me.
16:13Okay.
16:14I wrote the melody.
16:15You write the lyrics.
16:17I've never written lyrics before.
16:19Just say what you feel.
16:21Don't try to sound polished.
16:23Just tell the truth.
16:24Even if it's messy.
16:26Even if it scares you.
16:34That's the one.
16:37The one what?
16:38The lead single for the album.
16:39That song is real and people are going to hear it.
16:41Sing with me.
16:42Not as a publicity stunt.
16:44Not for marketing.
16:45Not for headlines.
16:46Because this is the most honest thing I've recorded in years.
16:49And it's honest because you're in it.
16:54Is it just the music?
16:59You know it's not just the music.
17:05This is going to complicate everything.
17:07I know.
17:08I don't care.
17:17Don't look at your phone.
17:18How did they?
17:18Someone at school sold the story.
17:20They got photos of you and Liam holding hands.
17:22And now everyone knows your name in school.
17:23Guess you're the celebrity's girlfriend now.
17:30I just saw.
17:32I'm so sorry.
17:33Are you okay?
17:34Vincent is already handling crisis PR.
17:36Define okay.
17:44Reporters are parked outside.
17:45We may need alternative arrangements for Aria.
17:48You told me you were at the library.
17:49The school can barely function like this today.
17:53She's a student.
17:54Not a celebrity.
17:56She's a student.
17:57Not a celebrity.
17:58Mom, I can explain.
17:59I can explain.
18:00You spent the night at a strange man's house?
18:05Mom, I can extainton.
18:07Morse, no.
18:11Your mom took your phone, so I brought mine.
18:23Liam has been blowing up my phone all night.
18:25He got into a huge fight with Vincent because Vincent wanted to spin this, like, album promotion.
18:30Liam shut that down.
18:32He said she's not a marketing strategy.
18:34She's a person.
18:38I need to call Liam.
18:39Yeah, okay.
18:41How could you do this to me?
18:43I will fix this.
18:44I promise.
18:45How?
18:45The whole world knows who I am.
18:46I'll hold a press conference.
18:48I'll tell them to leave you alone.
18:49I'll do whatever it takes to protect you from this.
18:50Maybe, maybe we should take a step back first.
18:53Just wait for things to calm down.
18:56Yes.
18:57If that's what you need, I'll respect it.
19:01You're an idiot.
19:03I know.
19:05Two weeks, and the noise finally died down.
19:08I got my phone back, but I still couldn't talk to him.
19:12Then, he drops a song everywhere at once.
19:15It's Beat of My Heart.
19:16Our song.
19:17Our song.
19:23He took my words, my melody, all of it.
19:27But when my part should come in, he leaves nothing.
19:31Just silence.
19:33You hearing this?
19:34Yeah.
19:35He left your part empty, Aria.
19:37Everybody knows someone's missing.
19:42Every line is about me.
19:44About the girl who crashed into his world,
19:46and the hole she left behind.
19:54I need to see him.
19:55That's my girl.
19:56I'll pick you up in ten.
20:02Want me to wait?
20:03No.
20:03Go home.
20:04I'll figure it out.
20:12Tell him it's the girl who changed his tire.
20:13He's not taking visitors.
20:14Tell him he's not taking visitors.
20:17Liam locked himself in the studio for three days.
20:20He barely eats or sleeps, just keeps writing.
20:23Aria?
20:24You look terrible.
20:26I listened to your song,
20:27and I heard the part you left on purpose mine.
20:30Without her, that song isn't complete.
20:32Without her, nothing is right.
20:34You left my part empty.
20:35Nothing feels right without you.
20:41That line is way too cheesy.
20:44You always knew.
20:45I was scared, Liam.
20:47I didn't want space.
20:48I wanted you.
20:49Next, she's gonna sing back the missing part of the song.
20:52Then, with him, slowly sort out everything that's left.
20:56Now, I record my part of the song.
20:58So what now?
21:01Ready when you are.
21:04Keep going.
21:07I think the third take was best.
21:09I think the seventh.
21:10You're wrong.
21:11I'm the professional here.
21:12And I'm the one with the voice you couldn't replace.
21:23It's perfect.
21:24You're perfect.
21:26Still cheesy.
21:28I still don't care.
21:29Next, real world problems were put on the table too.
21:32Once this song was released,
21:33the whole world would know exactly what our relationship was.
21:37Vincent?
21:37But I stayed calm and dropped a bigger bomb.
21:39I'd already fired Vincent
21:41because he was trying to sell our story to the tabloids
21:43to promote the album.
21:44Your manager will lose his mind.
21:46Good.
21:46I fired him this morning.
21:48You what?
21:49You're my future.
21:50Easy choice.
21:55Still cheesy.
21:57Still don't care.
21:59Are you ready for your life to change forever?
22:02It already has.
22:04I'm Natasha, Liam's ex-girlfriend.
22:06Liam is really good at making a girl feel like she's the center of the world,
22:09writing songs for her, making her shine.
22:11Then once the album goes huge, he leaves without looking back.
22:14Okay.
22:14And?
22:15He does this.
22:16He writes songs, makes you feel like everything, then moves on.
22:19Natasha said Liam's whole album, Golden,
22:21was pushed to the public as if it were written for her.
22:23Once it went platinum, she never heard from Liam again.
22:25Before she left, she left her business card on the table and told Aria,
22:27maybe he just realized you weren't worth the second album.
22:29No, but I'm not ignoring it either.
22:31I don't even have her tar.
22:32I don't know what you're talking about.
22:35Your ex-girlfriend introduced herself to me today.
22:37That album wasn't about her.
22:38Vincent told her that because it sold better with a love story attached.
22:41And is this album about me?
22:42Or is it about selling records?
22:43It's about you.
22:45Does that sound like someone running a marketing campaign?
22:48Secrets ruin things faster, Liam.
22:50No more secrets.
22:51Ask me anything.
22:57Everything.
22:58I want to know everything.
23:05Have you seen the numbers?
23:07We broke the streaming record for a debut duet.
23:10I'm not a real artist, Liam.
23:13I know, right?
23:14Tell that to the 30 million people who disagree.
23:18Your father called.
23:19He heard the song.
23:20He wants to talk to you.
23:23The song is beautiful, Aria.
23:26When did you get so talented?
23:28I've always been this way.
23:30You just weren't around to hear it.
23:54How does a 17-year-old high school student end up recording a hit duet with Liam Cross?
24:05Honestly, I fell asleep in my friend's car and he accidentally stole it.
24:09And the viral concert video, people are asking what it means.
24:14And whether you two are officially, we're two, two people.
24:20We're two who care about each other and make great music together.
24:28Several labels are interested in signing Aria independently, without you.
24:32I fired you, Vincent.
24:34What are you doing here?
24:35No matter how filthy his motives were, they touched on a question I couldn't bash.
24:40Don't listen to him.
24:41He's trying to divide us.
24:43You think I'm holding you back?
24:45Maybe I should consider my options.
24:48I think I need to figure out who I am in this world.
24:56You have a hit song, a potential record deal, and a gorgeous rock star boyfriend,
25:01and you're filling out college applications?
25:03College is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
25:06This moment won't come twice.
25:08The label wants an answer by Monday.
25:09I need to know if you're in.
25:13What would you do, Meg?
25:16You have to decide what you want.
25:18No one gets to choose this life for you.
25:25Your journey has to be your own.
25:29I'm not here to sell Liam's dream or pretend this business is easy.
25:35So what do I do?
25:36What scares you most?
25:38Singing or not singing?
25:48Not singing.
25:50Then you have your answer.
25:55Mom.
25:56I got a real recording contract.
25:59I need you to listen before you react.
26:02Absolutely not!
26:03You said you'd listen.
26:05So listen.
26:06I'm not quitting school.
26:08I'll finish senior year and apply to college.
26:12Your father was a musician.
26:14He chose music over everything.
26:16I'm not dad.
26:17That's what terrifies me.
26:19You're better than he ever was.
26:22Then let me try.
26:23Let me prove it.
26:24If your grades drop even half a point.
26:27They won't.
26:29I promise.
26:32What did you decide?
26:34I'm in.
26:35But on my terms.
26:36I wouldn't have it any other way.
26:37We finished this album.
26:39Together.
26:39No fake songs.
26:40It has to be your music.
26:42Deal?
26:45Deal.
26:48I can't believe this is happening!
26:50You literally drove me to the concert that started all of this.
26:53I know.
26:55I take full credit.
26:56Look at you.
26:56Like a star.
27:07Nervous?
27:08Terrified.
27:09How many seconds of courage do you need?
27:11Just a few.
27:12What you need is still only that few seconds of courage.
27:16He was absolutely tantalizing.
27:18And that was what terrified me most about him.
27:21But somewhere between a stolen car and a flat tire and a song left unfinished,
27:26I stopped being afraid.
27:28I decided to stay.
27:34You're rewriting everything.
27:35Don't get cheesy on me now, Rockstar.
27:37You just rewrote the beat of my heart.
27:42This is my place.
27:43And he brought me here.
