Full summary:
Chapter 19 commences with Jak hurriedly making attempts to contact Julia. He's tried calling the coffee shop five times, each time hanging up before anyone picks up. Despite his heart pounding in his chest, he musters the courage to call again, but Julia's mother informs him that she's working on an art project at home. Attempting to reach Julia on her cell phone only leads to an answering machine. The frustration and desperation makes Jak want to scream.
He glances at photos next to the phone - snapshots of cherished memories with Julia. One picture catches his eye, reminding him of the time he ran into a glass door when they were children, leaving a cut on his lip.
Jak is plagued by concern about the state of his friendship with Julia. He wonders, what if she truly doesn't want anything to do with him? The idea feels like a void and Jak doesn't want to entertain it for long. They fit together, they've been inseparable since childhood, and even their names have a similar ring. He reflects on their close-knit bond - how comfortable they are with each other, how he never really liked any of Julia's boyfriends, and suddenly, an important realization strikes him.
In a moment of epiphany, he understands why he's never been serious about other girls. His feelings for Julia transcend mere friendship. Confronting his potential romance for Julia feels as sudden and unexpected as that incident with the glass door long ago. Jak realizes that he is, and has been, in love with Julia, and he didn't see it coming. And now, he fears, it might be too late. Jak nervously bites his lip, overwhelmed with his realization.
