Please

Stunned from Sandy's gesture, Jason froze. When Katie's voice is heard though, his hands quickly move to Sandy's shoulders, pushing her back to whirl around and stare wide-eyed at Katie. She thought... this wasn't... it... she had it all wrong!

Sandy's face goes from bright red to white in a matter of seconds and she takes a step back out of the way.

Being yelled at, Jason's face turns a shade of crimson - not from anger, but from embarrassment at the others witnessing this whole absurd thing. "But, Katie, it's-" He cringes as she continues. Seeing her turn and walk away, he immediately takes off his guitar. "Katie, wait!" Setting his instrument carelessly aside, he's already partway to the door.

"Jason?"

He stops for a moment and looks over his shoulder at Sandy, not even sure how to respond.

She swallows hard, a look of horror on her face. "I'm... I'm sorry."

"Later," he retorts. Spinning back around, he sprints out the door, his eyes looking around wildly for Katie. Finally catching up to her in the parking lot, he stops her with a hand to her arm. "Katie, stop! Please!" Slipping in front of her, he takes both her shoulders to keep her in his sight. "It's not what you think - I have no idea where that kiss came from. Sandy took me totally by surprise. There's nothing between her and me, please believe me! It's not what it looks like."
