Fuck! You're so dumb, why did you let her go like that? What if she made a copy? No even worse, she could just make it again. You shiver in fear, you have to stop her, you would have many problems if she posted this on the internet.
But people won't believe her right? Because if they do... you murdered someone and brainwashed many others. You can't bet on that, you have to create a new rumor right now.
Fuck ethics and fuck Jessica! You're doing this to protect yourself, so it's justified. It's justified... You breathe deeply and slowly to calm yourself.
You open the forum, you don't have a choice, and you start writing a post, it's her fault, you describe how much she loves you, she deserves it, how you caught her obsessing over you. You try to make it look like an outsider's point of view but as long as it spread you don't care if they see through it.
You need to be fast, what if she deletes your post? You need to post it before she arrives home. You post it in a hurry, you didn't even check it once, you close your eyes, it's now a race. Who's fastest? Jessica or your newly crafted rumor? Your heart is beating very fast and you can't think of anything else.
You stay there, sitting on a step behind the building. Waiting for something to happen, you refresh the page every minute and you see the comments flow.
[Another one? Fuck that! How come I'm still single?]
[Maybe it's because of you're personality?]
[Learn to write you dumbass!]
It goes on and more replies appear once in a while. You never stayed up to see the comments get flooded before, you were expecting it to be way slower, don't they have anything else to do with their lives? You let out a nervous giggle. You're the one reloading the page like an addict right now.
However, as time passes, comments are slowing down. At some point, you don't get any in 10 minutes and you know you're fucked.
Hopefully, this might be enough... You send a text to Jessica.
[Hey, I'm sorry for earlier.] But she doesn't answer, chances are, the change didn't happen.
You don't know what to do, your thoughts are interrupted by a big sneeze. Fine, you decide to go home before becoming sick. You leave the school, still shocked. Who knows what might happen...
You arrive home and Kana asks where you were, but instead of answering her, you flee to your room. You lay down and you wait, you wait for sleep to take you, but it doesn't happen, you move around in your sheets trying to sleep but it doesn't do anything. You just stay here, thinking about what just happened.
You stay awake all night.
