[ She isn't sure that this is something she can talk to him about still. Maybe one day, but right now.. it just seems too fresh. It seems like every time he screws up, he apologizes, and she trusts him, and then the second she acts differently than he wants, this happens again. It felt like..

If I don't confide in you, you make me feel bad about it. You make me feel like because I'm not perfect, it's my fault and I've done something wrong for being scared. I am scared, Jaune, and that wasn't about you. It wasn't about you at all. But last time I told you anything about my father, your immediate reaction was to treat him poorly. Yours and almost everyone else I cared about, instead of just treating him like you would anyone else, and all that tells him is that I made things difficult for him. That I'm the one who convinced you that he's a bad person, when all I did was ask that you trust me to know what I'm doing. You didn't trust me, and you didn't show me I could trust you, then you made me feel bad on top of everything else right now for not putting your needs first.
[ She straightens her back. It's hard to say this even if she has a load of practice being firm with Jaune. Because she does care about him, even if what he's been doing lately has been hurting her. It's funny because she kind of thinks that if he gave Jacques a chance, he might actually be able to understand where he was coming from. They both have been acting like they have dominion over some part of Weiss. ]
I get that it's hard to see someone you care about in pain- believe me, if you think I haven't noticed that you're still not even close to being okay, you're wrong. But if you want to talk to me, you will. I'm here to listen and I'll keep what you say in confidence, but you're not obligated to do that. I'm not going to corner you and force you to tell me unless it's something that's going to affect others and if you don't want to tell me, it'll hurt but I'll understand. You can't hold someone who's already drowning down further and expect them to breathe. Being there for someone is not the same as acting like you have a right to their feelings and you need to learn to respect that if you even want to have contact with me anymore.
