He tried to find eye contact with her as she stared past him at a tree he presumed was somewhere in the distance.

"I want the exact opposite of that, I want you around all the time, okay?" he tried his best to clarify, obviously getting a little upset himself. Couldn't she understand? That if they stayed together, or friends, or whatever, he would just be more and more upset if Joao was in the picture? "But if you're...if you and Joao are..." he visibly paused, trying to avoid saying it, "...together..then I can't keep remembering how much I like you. Because then I'm just hurting all the time."

He hated having to explain this, and he let out a brief sigh after his words were out, hoping desperately that she understood it. "Wouldn't you be afraid to keep liking me if you had heard that I kissed some girl?"

"You should ask me, Cornelius! Ask me if I'm with Joao. Ask him, too. But don't punish me because you made an assumption and don't punish me because I don't understand what you WANT," Aspen finally did look at him, albeit briefly.

EVERYONE wanted something from Aspen. Everyone. Even Cornelius wasn't happy with her anymore.

"No. I wouldn't be afraid. I'd have questions, but not fear. But that's fine. Be afraid. You can ALL be afraid of me, all of you. You. Paulie. Joao. All of you, I don't care." Which was a rare lie out of Aspen Odessa, a rare and obvious lie. She did care.

"Go obliviate yourself if it helps." And with that, Aspen turned and ran away.
