Alanna finally pushed Jon away.

"I'm sorry Jon I can't" Alanna said as she got up and ran away.

"What was I thinking back there" Alanna though as she ran home. When she got home she ran up to her room. She then realized she still had Jon's jacket.

"I'll have to face him sooner or later" Alanna said to herself.

Alanna had to face it: she afraid of Jon's love.

Her mother died when she was seven. Ever since her father spent most of his time working in his lab. That was why they had Coram. Alanna noticed that her father wasn't the same ever since her mother death. He seemed to be missing something, a part of his heart. He gave it to her but no she was gone. Alanna didn't want to feel like that.

Alanna sighed she would see him one way or another. She might as well get it over with now.

Alanna got up and began walking to Jon's house. As she made her way to the end of the street she saw Jon. Alanna slowly walked up to him.

"Um hi" Alanna said not looking into Jon's eye's. "Uh here's your jacket"

"Thanks" Jon said.

The two stood their for a while until finally Jon spoke.

"Alanna. Why's you run away" Jon said softly.

"Because." Alanna said. "I don't want to get hurt. I mean I just don't want to take my chances"

"Alanna. You'll never know if you avoid love completely. You'll get hurt along the way but in the end it pays off" Jon said.

"Jon" Alanna whispered softly.

Alanna then moved forward and the kissed Jon.

"Alanna." Jon said "umm do you want to go to the movies on Friday?

"Do you mean like on a date. Just me and you?" Alanna asked.

"Yeah" Jon answered.

"OK" Alanna said "Well I should get home. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Ok bye" Jon said after he softly kissed her.

Alanna sighed as she walked back home. She never expected this but she decided she might as well try.
