Lying to cover the Pain and Love

He looked back to her, she seemed shocked, looking down at the ground. James was convinced he'd made a mistake, he didn't know why he'd kissed her, he had a girlfriend, he didn't like Anna like that.......did he? The Shadow thought he did and the Shadow knew all his thoughts.

"I'm sorry...," he said again as he stepped over to the door, his hand touching the knob, "I..I need to think, figure things out. Thank you for everything Anna." He didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay with her.

Sighing quietly, he slipped through the door and back into the building. Lost and confused, but he was starting to realize what he'd been feeling. He wasn't quite there, but he was on his way, because love was an odd thing, as confusing as it was beautiful. It was something James had never felt before.
