The minute Cassidy walked back inside, James came walking around back.
"Hey man. How's it going?"
"Hey Storm."
"What's going on around here, Vaughn's standing guard at the locker room door out front and won't let anyone in."
"Why is she pushing me away James?"
"Cameron? That's why they won't let anyone in there?"
"Oh I was in there, trying to help her till she practically yelled at me to get out."
"If it's what I think it is, believe me, she didn't mean to yell at you. You've done nothing wrong. She's just afraid."
"She's afraid of what everyone's going to think right?"
"That and something else."
"She's afraid of what I'm going to think once I see the real her."
"You've already seen the real her. It's just that she's always kept that part of herself hidden from everyone."
"So that's why she's pushed me away the last few days. We've talked about this. I'm not going to look at her any different than I do now."
"For her, talking about it and actually experiencing it are two completely different walks of life. Even though you've done nothing to make her doubt you, you're going to have to prove to her you're in it for the long haul."
"I am willing to do whatever it takes for her to see that. I'm going to be honest with you; I'm growing to care about her a lot. I'll be damned if I'm going to let her go around here thinking I'm going to any less because of something that wasn't her fault!"
"J.P., listen to me. It's not going to help things right at this moment for you to go marching in there. Let things play their selves out. If I'm right, you've got an opportune moment tonight to fill her in."
"That's if she'll go through with it."
"Believe me, I know my sister. She's not going to do anything to screw up a storyline, especially one she's personally invested time into. Just trust me."
