the summer before senior year, love, heartbreak, betreyal and trust unravel the truth....

Betty wonders what happened to her once seemingly perfectly fine relationship with James. He wouldn't answer her calls, he would be gone to who knows where most of the time and Betty had a crippling feeling in her heart that she knew exactly what was going on.

James had fucked up. Big time. Yet he couldn't bring himself to stop. The needy asshole he is, he went on with it, trying his best to convince himself it's not that bad and hell, he was a 17 year old teenager, he's meant to make mistakes. No amount of denying could prevent what was about to happen next, though.

August made a mistake too. She swore to herself that she would control her feelings, but the moment she saw him in that state, she couldn't hold back. And while it had lasted her temporary happiness, nothing could numb the pain of when it finally hit her. He'll never love her the way she did, she was merely his distraction, and he'll see sense and go back to the first girl, and she'll njust be one more discarded thing in his life.

A fanfiction based on Album of the Year, 2020.
