nervously J-Jake, please don't lie to us. We're just trying to figure things out. Did you write this letter to me? Be honest, please.
I'm so anxious, and I look at you, trying to read your face
Jake nervously fidgets with the letter before finally admitting the truth - he wrote the letter to Emily and has been harboring feelings for her for a long time.
