Forward, Without Him

On the day Taylor's Columbia acceptance arrives, she secretly flies to New York to surprise her boyfriend Ethan and best friend Lexi. Instead, she overhears them confess: to grant Lexi's birthday wish, they secretly altered Taylor's application, making her miss the deadline and lose her spot. They've been dating behind her back for a year. Ethan promises Lexi he'll stay hers until fall, then return to being Taylor's boyfriend. Taylor stands outside, holding cupcakes and sunflowers, realizing her entire life was built on their betrayal.
