my unofficial parent you cannot eat ice cream before dinner you're not my real mom why did you fail math I spent my whole week tutoring you you're not my real mom it's fair to say I drove Lola crazy she was forced to become my mother at a very young age and I could be a brat also I kind of ruined her plans for the future and her relationship with her very serious boyfriend Jordan Jordan and Lola had planned to go away to college together seeing that Lola had to work and take care of me since our dad was useless Jordan left her and went off to college on his own I'm sorry Lola there isn't a place for both me and CeCe in your life this is it for us I felt guilty that Lola had lost both her boyfriend and her dreams so I no longer wanted to give her a hard time I started paying attention in class helping her around the house and even preparing her favorite meals and desserts H there is no love like sisterly love CeCe never forget that we only have each other in this life one day as I was working at my part-time cashier job in a coffee shop I noticed a very rich looking guy staring at me I could feel his gaze without even lifting my head naturally I decided to stare back until he got uncomfortable and broke eye contact but he was a tough opponent give it up creep didn't you mommy teach you it's rude to stare at people but he still didn't Flinch he insisted on being in the line of I was serving even though the other one was empty one Americano please will that be all how about your number on the side I just stood there with a poker face until he finally gave up and said yes that will be all one Americano coming up name Ben that'll be four Euros Ben he gave me a 100 and told me to keep the change with a wink nice try jerk if you think you can buy my number you're sadly mistaken take your stupid money I'm just a generous Tipper girl but I will get your number eventually and by the way your eyes are gorgeous and then he left I wish I had shov that change in a stupid face oh well I could just use it to buy Lola something nice this Rich jerk kept coming back every day and I'd always notice he had bodyguards waiting outside the shop for him one day he came in when the place was empty I won't leave until you give me your number then I hope you brought a change of clothes and a toothbrush you know Cece not to be a self-center jerk but I'm a great catch if you're so great why are you so desperate to get my number deter is a better term I enjoy a hard Challenge and I just can't get you out of my head then get a new head I would but I have great hair you're not getting my number weirdo we'll see for the next few weeks he showed up with extravagant gifts like a full mariachi band or roses that filled up the stores and customers couldn't get in my boss finally snapped and told me to handle the situation or I was out of course I couldn't get fired I had to help Lola with the household expenses so I caved and gave him my number I just block him later when I told my co-workers what happened they all burst out laughing and started showing me his pictures on the internet turns out he wasn't just a rich kid but a famous actor as well apparently he had bought the staff silence because he didn't want me to go out with him simply for being famous to my surprise he wasn't that big of a jerk either he was crazy romantic like crazy
romantic one day I mentioned that I was craving pizza so he insisted on going to Napoli for lunch I thought he managed to get last minute tickets on a plane to Italy but turns out we were going with his private jet you know Cece when I first met you and realized that you didn't know who I was I felt truly alive I had a rare opportunity to introduce myself however I like to someone who didn't already have some opinions about me well for future reference you didn't do a great job at it he came off as a creep yeah you made that very clear don't worry he was sweet charming and attentive and I found myself falling for him I was hesitant to bring Ben home to see our poor house and meet my useless dad only when I made sure he actually loved me and accepted me no matter what I invited him to dinner but Lola wasn't too enthusiastic about him you're spending too much time with him CeCe boys are trouble and a distraction you should be focusing on your studies to get into a good college instead of dating flamboyant Stars I'm not a kid anymore don't worry about me also I can do both then Ben and I went public and he started taking me to all his premieres and movie sets sometimes I would miss school and travel with him wherever he went Lola was Furious about this I did not break my back to keep you in school and give up on my dreams so you can live in some stupid fairy tale with a boyfriend fairy tales aren't real I'm grateful for the things that you've done but you can't keep holding that over my head you also chose to do this and I try to pitch in you're welcome to stop caring for me now and go back to school you're an ungrateful brat CeCe you just met this boy you're not his first love nor the last don't get too used to this lifestyle cuz it won't be long before he drops you then we'll see what you'll do kiddo you almost sound like you resent me for getting a taste of the good life just let me be Lola but she didn't let me be one day I came home after a trip to Hollywood and found Lola waiting for me in the dark have a seat OMG you freak you scared me I think you should see this what's this your prince charming isn't so innocent I hired a private detective to follow him around see for yourself I couldn't believe Lola would go that far where did she even get the money to do this in the folder she gave me I found pictures of Ben and San trpe playing volleyball with many models and screenshots of him replying to other girls stories on Instagram that didn't really bother me till I saw a photo of him having dinner with one of his exes and they were holding hands I felt utterly disgusted and couldn't believe Lola was right Ben had already left on another trip for 2 weeks so I just blocked his number and blocked him on all the socials too and I promised Lola that I'd never speak to him again but I did find myself missing him so instead of caving and unblocking him I decided to watch one of his movies so one evening there I was engrossed in his latest spy film and a family-sized pizza topped with pepperoni and my salty tears when I caught a glimpse of something outside my window it was Ben swinging from a rope off the roof like a lowbudget action hero I quickly opened the window before he fell down and smashed his most valuable asset his money-making face what are you doing well it was impossible to reach you by any normal means and Lola wouldn't let me in so I thought I could swing outside your window until you tell me what's wrong do you think I'm stupid do you think I wouldn't know about your Affairs what the you heard me I know all about sandrope and your DMs with other girls and the dinner with your ex I showed in the pictures and to my surprise he burst out laughing and tussled my hair you dummy you well first first these so-called models are my cousins gross I can't help it if we're all a good-look bunch secondly these DMS are made by a very famous fake account everyone on Earth knows this person is acting like me how did you even miss this okay fine but what about the dinner how are you going to justify that well now that's embarrassing I got an anonymous call telling me that this big-time director wanted to meet me to discuss his upcoming superhero franchise for which he wanted to cast me I smelled something fishy because the call didn't come through my manager but I was too afraid to miss the opport so I went there I found my ex who had received the exact same call it was obviously some kind of stupid setup but there wasn't even any Paparazzi around that we could see and here I'm holding her hand because she's telling me her cat died I didn't bring this meeting up cuz it wasn't
anything important do you honestly think I believe that yes do you know why I voice recorded all my calls and meetings so here you go oh man he humbled me quickly and left me speechless I hated being proved wrong but where did did you get these pictures did you hire someone to stalk me don't flatter yourself they were thrown my way don't think for a minute that I'm obsessed with you CeCe baby it's too late I've seen you eat that pizza with snot and tears crying over me I hit him with the cushion as he laughed then he hugged me the next morning I told Lola everything but she wasn't relieved or happy and you believe him you're so naive CeCe well I know him more than you or your private detective he's an honest guy who loves and spoils me can't you just be happy for me you're my sister is that too much to expect Lola looked at me and then sighed you're right I suppose I can give him a chance I was only trying to protect you he seems too good to be true I know but maybe I looked out and he doesn't have any skeletons in his closet yeah maybe but just as I thought everything was on track it all exploded in my face one morning as I was watching the news I saw a picture of Ben's father shaking hands with some Thug in the latest Hollywood drama the famous businessman man also known as Ben's father is allegedly smuggling illegal goods and accepting bribes does this Mark the fall of his Empire and possibly Ben's reputation and career too as I watched in horror I suddenly noticed Lola standing behind the couch a huge evil smirk on her face and the realization washed over me Lola was somehow behind this Lola my scream shut the house and I turned around to pounce on her even dad who hadn't come out of his room in ages came out running as we rolled around on the floor how dare you humiliate Ben and his family like that what did you do just use some AI generated images no calm down will you I'm doing what's best for you this is what's best for me ruining my relationship and someone's life how could you do that Ben was nothing but nice to you I've been nothing but nice to you what is your problem and then Lola's face Twisted with rage my problem is you thinking you deserve to go off and live your fairy tale life with your stupid perfect boyfriend when I gave up everything for you so what I should just live here and take care of our useless Dad after giving up on my boyfriend and my dreams and it was all for you finally the truth comes out you jealous horrible dinosaur I slapped her hard you selfish ungrateful Pig our epic slap Showdown kept going until our palms were sore and Dad finally intervene I stormed off and shut myself up in my room how could I tell Ben my sister ruined his family's reputation I tried calling him to see how he was taking it but I couldn't reach him or anyone from his family or managers he just disappeared from the face of the earth I joined my dad in Despair and didn't leave my room when Lola was in the house and I certainly didn't leave the house one night as I was watching one of Ben's films I heard loud knocks on the door and police sirens outside dad and I got out of our rooms quickly only to find the police taking Lola away you're being detained on suspicion of defamation through madeup evidence you have the right to remain silent Lola I swear I had
nothing to do with this I know Cece I did Lola turned herself in but why I rushed to prison after her and waited until I managed to see her why did you do that I couldn't bear seeing you so miserable I already lost mom and dad and I can't stand the thought of losing you too I was afraid you'd go off with your prince one day and I'd be alone and miserable and I got really jealous and selfish then made you happy and you deserve that now that it's public his father was framed I'm sure he'll turn up again I was speechless I believed Lola regretted what she'd done but she had to pay the price for it now and Ben would get to hear that it was Cece behind everything and would make sure he stayed away from me forever but one day as I was leaving the police station after visiting Lola I bumped into Ben I I thought I'd never see you again my family and I were advised to stay low and not to talk to anyone till the matter was cleared up now I'm here to pay Lola's bail and we're dropping all charges against her what why would you do that because she turned herself in so she obviously regrets it and because I love you and she's your sister and because I'm confident that I can win her over too I wore you down didn't I you sure did and I love you [Music] too
