When August Burns

Tragedy struck the girl I promised to protect. Too bad she needs protection from me.

I’m just looking to survive.
High school.
Graduation.
The overwhelming guilt I carry from a dark secret.

Sky Winters is looking for self-discovery—a way to uncover the brave girl she was always meant to be.

In only two months, she strips away my defenses and reveals the selfish guy underneath.
No matter how much I fight the feelings, fight the desires, I crumble, falling for the one girl I can never have.

Love is what she gave me. Lies are what I gave her.

As secrets unravel and hearts shatter, I’m given no choice but to walk away and never return.

*This is part one of two and ends on a cliffhanger.
