A quiet Confession

Page 14 --

It was the next day at work, and Amara and Jon were sitting in the store waiting for some customers to come by. "So have you confessed yet?"—"WHAT?" Jon screamed out choking on some hot coffee. Amara began to laugh a bit, but then got serious again, "Are you going to?" Jon paused for a moment, staring down at his coffee "I don't know..." he said slowly, not taking his eyes off of the coffee. "Well, I think you should... I mean if I were you I would" Jon looked up at her "You're going to regret it if you don't, that's all I really have to say about that"—"but, I mean... what-what if he says n-no"—"Then you know... I mean I'm not rushing you to do it, but I wouldn't leave high school without saying it once"—"H-how do I d-do it" Jon mumbled looking down at his coffee again with a slight blush. Amara chuckled a bit "what do you mean, how?"—"I-I mean..." Jon started twiddling his fingers as a larger blush grew onto his face. "Don't worry about it, it will come to you..."

Once work finished, Evan was waiting for Jon so they could hangout again. Jon grabbed his belonging and left with him out the door. They started to walk down a long street back to Jon's place. "How was work today?"—"Now you sound like the bride"—"I'm just trying to make some small talk"—"It was good, barely anyone came in today"—"do you have any more buns?"—"Yeah" Jon reached into his bag, and split the bun into two pieces, handing one half to Evan. "Yours is bigger"—"Yeah, well I made them" Jon said shoving the bun into his mouth. They made their way to a railroad crossing, and stopped as they heard a train.

They stood there waiting for the train to pass. As Jon stood there he listened to the loud train rolling over the tracks, and the random whistle that would blow. "Can you hear me?" Jon said out loud, but Evan didn't reply. Jon paused, shifting his eyes to look at an unaware Evan. He looked back at the train again and took a deep breath, "I-I l-like yo-you" he was able to whisper out, it was so quiet that even he couldn't hear it. "I-I r-really, really, really, like you" it was a little louder, but still even he couldn't hear it. He took another deep breath and looked straight at the train "I LOVE YOU!" finally he heard himself, shouting out the words he wanted to say all this time. Quickly he glanced over at Evan, who was still unaware of the situation. Jon chuckled a bit at it, and how weird he was being. He then took another and final deep breath, relaxing his entire body and feeling at ease for once in a really long time.
