"I want to be that person, Johnny. I want to be the person that helps people -- not hurt them. I want to be someone that good people want help from and bad people run away from."

But I told Isabel some of my fears and why I had them and what you meant to me and how you ground me and she said that I needed to tell you because you needed to know." The last part of that came out in a babble.
"All I ask is that you hear me out first, please?" She squeezed his hand. "It might sound kind of odd to you... but she said that I needed to talk to you about it and be open."
