The holidays had just begun , summer sparked the air, days were spent watching the waves on the beach , nights were spent watching the dazzling beauty of stars . I still remember the feeling of great summer shinning upon me ' how it felt to walk on the sandy beaches or how it felt to get drunk on the rooftop of your house , and , I still yet remember the feeling of wanting you more .
That day , 17th of august , late evening i whispered along with the hallowing of the cool breeze , water beneath feet the shine of moonlight reflecting the cool water . The stars blinking as if they knew what bad that day would bring me . I tilted my head , heart skipping , feeling the need to crawl somewhere and disappear—you looked at me , strange sensation filled my chest .
You walked towards me and smiled .The next day . We awoke in twisted bedsheets , morning welcomed us with the hopes of a new day , sound of waves clashing —everything seemed to filled with joy. I remember thinking I had you .
I remember us lying beneath the sun . hope scattered in the air . You stared— lost as if you remembered something that seemed similar your eyes desperately wanting to believe it wasn't her ,yet I shook it off and smiled and we kissed . I still can see us lost in the memory.
The days we spent lying lazily you spent more time thinking of her, the warm summer nights you slept next to me but you still thought of her . I grew more obsessed and you became more distant , the time when we sat on the rooftop drunk watching the stars while I watched you as if I could never let you go , you looked at me blinking , I looked at you clueless like I hadn't knew everything all along . I was selfish I knew .
It grew one sided as I watched you wanting to find the glimse of her in my eyes. You eyes held more truth than your heart , it finally came to an end . I slept dreamless nights waiting for you to call , I would've cancelled all my plans just to see you, back when I was living for the hope of it all . So much for summer love.
They told me about her , the one you'd sneak with , the one who you wanted me to be , the one for whom I was just a distraction . Even I knew ,it burned my heart . I knew I always was the side character of the book , the one who hoped to have everything , but yet had nothing.
You went to her party . You stood in her garden trying to explain , her eyes held tears yours held white lies . She laughed through the tears like 'flowers blossoming in the sun bathe after hazy rain , you smiled just like that day . In the end you were never mine
The summer ended with bitter truth and shattered hopes, you and her were like the sun and the sea. I was still there. Stuck in that summer like it had never ended .
Now who wants betty and james pov?
