Chapter 19: Plans are set in motion

Jason stood on the now empty sidewalk, staring into the direction that Alice had run from him. He felt the burning feeling of wanting to confess his love and desire for her disappear.

What just happened? Thought Jason to himself. Why did I just do that? Why did I just try forcing myself onto Alice? Oh no! What if she thinks I'm a bad person? She definitely does, who wouldn’t, after what just happened.

Jason looked down at his hands and looked at them as if they were covered in filth. He tried wiping them on his pants but the dirt would not come off. I’m not a bad person, cried Jason as he wiped and wiped. He felt dirty and disgusted with himself.
