INT. BETTY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Betty sits on her bed, her room shrouded in darkness save for the soft glow of her bedside lamp. Tears at the corners of her eyes as she grapples with the painful realization settling in her chest like a heavy stone.

BETTY:
I'll never be with James... I wasn't good enough for him.I wasn't enough then and i'm not now

Her voice cracks with emotion as she speaks the words aloud, the weight of her self-doubt crushing her spirit. In the silence of her room, the echoes of her insecurities bouncing off the walls, amplifying her pain.

BETTY:
I'm not skinny enough, not good-looking enough... I'll never be what he wants.

A sob escapes Betty's throat as she succumbs to the overwhelming sense of inadequacy that gnaws at her from within. She thought she could ignore the whispers of self-doubt, but now they roar in her ears, drowning out any hope she had left.

The realization that her love for James will never be reciprocated cuts deep, leaving a jagged wound in her heart that refuses to heal. She longs to be enough, to be worthy of his love, but she knows deep down that it's a futile wish.

With a heavy heart, Betty buries her face in her hands, the tears flowing freely now as she mourns the loss of what could have been. She knows she must find a way to move on, to accept that James will never be hers, but the ache in her chest tells her that letting go will be the hardest part of all.

As the night stretches on, Betty's tears eventually subside, leaving her drained and exhausted. But even in her darkest moments, a glimmer of hope flickers within her, whispering that perhaps one day, she'll find someone who loves her just as she is.

FADE OUT.

Betty's fingers hover over the keyboard, her mind flooded with memories of her time with James. She pauses, allowing herself to relive the moments that shaped their relationship, both the laughter-filled and the heart-wrenching.

The memory of their laughter echoes in her mind, transporting her back to Spanish class, where they sat side by side, giggling uncontrollably at some inside joke only they understood. Their laughter was so infectious that they caught the attention of their teacher, who had no choice but to ask them to leave the classroom to avoid disrupting the lesson further.

A wistful smile tugs at the corners of Betty's lips as she recalls the joy they shared in those carefree moments, the bond between them growing stronger with each shared laugh.

But amidst the laughter, there were moments of darkness too, moments when James's protective instincts kicked into overdrive. Betty remembers the time when a guy from another class tried to hurt her, and James came to her rescue without a moment's hesitation. With a fierce determination in his eyes, he confronted the guy and pinned him against a brick wall, his voice laced with a warning that left no room for doubt – no one would harm Betty or anyone she cared for while he was around.

As she continues to write, Betty's heart feels lighter, filled with a sense of gratitude for the love she once knew and the lessons it taught her. And as she pens the final words of her book, she knows that she's ready to turn the page and start a new chapter, armed with the strength and resilience she gained from her time with James.

With a satisfied sigh, Betty saves the document, the title glowing brightly on the screen – "All Too Well." It's a fitting tribute to the rollercoaster of emotions she's experienced, a reminder that even in the midst of heartache, there's beauty to be found in the memories that remain.

As she closes her laptop and settles into bed, Betty feels a sense of peace wash over her. She may never forget James or the love they shared, but she knows that she's strong enough to face whatever the future may hold, armed with the lessons learned from their time together.

BETTY:
Goodbye for now James...

With that thought in mind, Betty drifts off to sleep, her heart a little lighter and her spirit a little stronger, ready to face whatever comes her way.
