Chapter Text

15 years ago
15 year old Cassandra Cillian couldn't wait to start her big performance tonight. She was playing a queen who tried to stop a war that happened during the 16th century. When she started to say her big line,"This war must be-"
Then all of a sudden Cassandra passes out on the stage.

Present Time
Cassandra woke up from that night while she was performing she passed out because of that tumor. That was the night when Cassandra was disnosed with that brain tumor. Ever since then she refused to do any acting. She got her tumor taken out a couple of months ago and Cassandra wants to go back to acting in plays but she's scared and nervous with that thought. Cassandra didn't want to make a big fool of herself. She needed help from a friend that is good. Cassandra started a list of who can and can't. "Flynn no way he showed us how he acted for Shakespeare's play which was horrible but funny. Baird I don't know if she can act. Ezekiel he would maybe teach her how to steal instead of acting. Stone on the other hand, he knows history so he could research some acting history. Well I'll ask him tomorrow at work.

Cassandra saw Jacob at his usual favorite reading spot reading,"The Art History Behind the Art."

"Jacob? I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your reading."

Jacob looked at her with a gentle smile,"No you're not interrupting anything Cassie." Jacob put the book down and slid it to the far end of the table.

"Well Jacob I need to do me a favor can you?"

"Tell me."

Cassandra sat down in the chair right beside of with a worried look about how he would react and said.

"I've never told anyone this but, back before my tumor developed, I acted in plays and little skits for my town."

"Well how about that Flynn and Eve doesn't know they've a formal actress on their hands."

"Well there's a downside to that. I had to quit when I was 15."

"Why did you quit, Cassie?"

"One night when I was 15, I got the main role as Queen Elizabeth trying to stop the wars that have been going on and right in the middle of the play, I passed out. They rushed me to the Emergency Room and the doctor told me that I had a brain tumor."

Jacob looked at Cassandra with the saddest look she had ever seen on his face.

"I'm really sorry Cassie. I mean giving up something you loved to do because of that stupid tumor."

"Yeah......Since the tumor is out of this girl's head. I want to go back to acting but I need a coach to help me get my confidence up and I was wondering if you would do it?"

Jacob looked at Cassandra which he wanted to help her and he forgave her for betraying the team. She made a misstep that was all.

"Cassie...... I'll help you."

"Really?"

"Really Cassie if I didn't like you I wouldn't agreed to help you with this."

Cassandra grabbed Jacob into a big hug while saying,"Thank you. Thank you so much."

Jacob looked at Cassandra and said,"We'll start tomorrow at 8:20 AM sharp."
"Yes boss."

Pretty soon Jacob looked at Cassandra walking away with a smile. Let's just say they both can't wait until tomorrow morning.
