00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:05,279
[Applause]
2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:08,880
Elias is alone in his room. He keeps
3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,200
looking out the
4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,679
window. Something is on his mind or
5
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:17,880
maybe someone. Then he sees him.
6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,600
Alexander. Alexander is his
7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,560
friend. Maybe even his best friend. And
8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,960
today he's coming over to spend time
9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,000
together like they always do.
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,440
Alexander is coming over to hang out. It
11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,239
looks like something they do
12
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:38,559
often. Elias watches as Alexander rides
13
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:40,559
his bicycle toward the house. And when
14
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:43,360
Alexander enters the room, they both act
15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,200
normal, playing games, watching
16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,719
something. But Elias is watching
17
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:50,280
Alexander more
18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,879
closely. He smiles when Alexander
19
00:00:53,879 --> 00:00:56,559
smiles. He seems to really care about
20
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:00,520
him. They are both young. maybe 14 or
21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,359
15. But Elias is starting to feel
22
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:05,840
something stronger than friendship.
23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,000
Something is happening inside Elias that
24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,479
we cannot see at first. He is not just
25
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:13,439
spending time with his friend. He is
26
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:15,159
feeling something
27
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:18,640
stronger, something deeper. Elias has
28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,119
feelings for Alexander. He is not sure
29
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:24,400
if Alexander feels the same. And he
30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,200
doesn't know if it's safe to say
31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,720
anything. He wants to get closer to
32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Alexander. He wants to touch his hand,
33
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,360
maybe even kiss him. Elias tries to find
34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,079
a way to tell Alexander how he feels,
35
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,119
but he's scared. What if Alexander
36
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:44,320
laughs at him? What if Alexander never
37
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,600
talks to him again? Elias looking at
38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,920
Alexander's
39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,479
lips. Elias thinking hard.
40
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:55,360
Elias building up the courage as they
41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,759
sit side by side. Elias keeps looking at
42
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:02,000
Alexander. He watches the way he smiles.
43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200
He notices how their arms touch.
44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Sometimes he feels every moment more
45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,000
deeply than before. But inside Elias's
46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,640
heart, there is a
47
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,319
storm. He wants to tell Alexander
48
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,599
something, but the words won't come out.
49
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:21,120
Elias is in a different world now. He's
50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,120
full of
51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,400
emotion. He wants to say, "I like you."
52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,760
Maybe even, "I love you." But the words
53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,000
are stuck in his throat. He wants to
54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,879
move closer, but he's scared. These
55
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:37,519
small moments mean everything to Elias.
56
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:39,000
He smiles
57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,040
nervously. He looks at Alexander's
58
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,160
lips. His fingers are shaking just a
59
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,400
little. He wants to move closer, but is
60
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
it okay? Can a boy love another boy like
61
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400
this? Will Alexander
62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
understand? What if Alexander doesn't
63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,080
feel the same? What if everything
64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200
changes forever? Still, the feelings are
65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,159
strong. He's falling in love. Then comes
66
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:06,920
the quietest, most powerful
67
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:11,440
moment. Slowly, Elias leans in. His
68
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,920
heart is beating
69
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,000
fast. Maybe the fastest it has ever beat
70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,680
in his life. He's
71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,680
afraid. He's
72
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,519
excited. He's
73
00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:26,319
hoping. He's going to try. He's going to
74
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:30,480
kiss him. He wants to kiss him. Just
75
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,959
once. He wants to know what love feels
76
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:35,360
like. Maybe Alexander will kiss him
77
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,480
back. Maybe everything will change.
78
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,360
Elias leans in to kiss Alexander. But
79
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840
before he can do it, Alexander pulls
80
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,720
away. He doesn't yell. He doesn't get
81
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,560
angry, but we can see he doesn't feel
82
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,920
the same. He stands up and says he has
83
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,000
to go. Maybe he's
84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,640
confused. Maybe he's just not ready. But
85
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,319
he leaves Elias alone in the room. Elias
86
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,480
doesn't stop him. He just
87
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,879
watches. His chest is
88
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,920
heavy. His mouth stays shut. He doesn't
89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,199
cry, but you know, deep inside his heart
90
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,840
is breaking. He thought maybe Alexander
91
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:23,360
felt something too. But now he's not so
92
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,720
sure. And now Elias is alone. This is
93
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,840
what many young people go through. They
94
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,160
fall in love, but they don't always know
95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,280
if it's safe to say it. The fear of
96
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:38,960
rejection is real. Elias showed his real
97
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,479
self.
98
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:43,160
He risked everything for one moment of
99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680
truth, but he didn't get the answer he
100
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,040
hoped for. Now he's filled with
101
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,800
questions. Did I do the wrong thing?
102
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,280
Will he ever talk to me again? Am I
103
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,400
weird? What's wrong with
104
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,919
me? Have you ever felt something but
105
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:01,040
were too afraid to say it? Do you think
106
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Alexander was confused or just not
107
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,160
ready? Let me know in the comments what
108
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,720
you think Elias should do next.
109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,320
Elias sits there still, quiet, lost in
110
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,840
thought. The world outside keeps going,
111
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:17,800
but Elias feels
112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,479
frozen. It shows that even when someone
113
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:22,639
doesn't say, "I love you back," it
114
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:25,440
doesn't mean your feelings were wrong.
115
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,600
It means they just weren't ready or
116
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,600
didn't feel the same. And that's okay.
117
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,840
And to anyone watching this and feeling
118
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,639
like Elias, know this. You are not
119
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:38,160
alone.
120
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,479
Your love is
121
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:41,960
real. Your feelings are
122
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,280
valid. And one day someone will love you
123
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,919
back the same way. It takes courage to
124
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:51,320
show your heart. Elias was
125
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,039
brave. And so are you. One day someone
126
00:05:55,039 --> 00:05:56,960
will look at you the same way you looked
127
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,600
at them and they will say, "I feel it,
128
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,650
too.
129
00:06:01,650 --> 00:06:06,319
