Hailee Steinfeld One Shots

New Job

TW:Panic attack, anxiety

Reader POV
Tomorrow was my first day at my new job.  I made sure I was going to wake up early by setting and alarm for 4 am, even though I  didn't even have to leave the house until 8 am. I was super nervous, and wanted to make sure I was completely ready, even though Hailee  had  assured me that everything would be fine and that I would do great. But I still wasn't sure.

I went on with my night, having dinner and watching a movie with Hailee before we  both  went to bed. I tossed and turned in bed all night. I couldn't sleep because  all I could think about was my new job. What if they don't like the real me? What if they don't like my work style? They might fire me on the spot. What  if none of my coworkers like me? These thoughts just kept spiraling through my head, and before I knew it, I was wide awake. There was no way I was getting any sleep tonight. I figured I'd just get up to go try to distract myself by watching tv in the living room, but Hailee had turned over and snuggled my  in her sleep. There was no way I could go to sleep now.

After not getting any sleep, my alarm had gone off at 4 am,  which means it was time for me to get up and get ready.
"Ugh why so early?" Hailee asks sleepily.
"Because I have to get ready baby" I reply as you get out  of bed. "But you can go back to bed"

I go into  the bathroom to start to get ready, and I start to panic again. I start to get the same thoughts from last night. I try to push them  away by putting some music on, but that barely helps. Once my makeup is done, I can barely take it anymore. The thoughts have overtaken me and I start to panic to no extent. What if no one there likes me? What if I lose my job? Shit, If I cry, Ill ruin my makeup. I won't have time to fix my makeup if I keep crying and panicking and hyperventilating. But I can't stop. The thoughts won't stop attacking my head. They feel like a ping-pong ball without gravity, constantly going. Wait, what if Hailee hears me? I can't have her hear me. I can't let her know that I'm having my fourth panic attack this week. I'll only disappoint her. Shit I think I hear her footsteps.

Hailee POV
I wake up to the sound to crying and shallow breathing. I bolt in bed to try to listen for where y/n is.  It sounds like she is having another panic attack. I can't  ever blame her. She's always had severe anxiety ever since I've known her, and these panic attacks are out of her control. I think I hear the crying coming from the  bathroom that's connected to our bedroom, so I  go to look there first. As soon as  I open  the door, I find y/n curled up in the corner, with tears streaming down her face. I quickly go over to her to help her calm down using some of the techniques that work best for her. I let her know that I am always here for her,  and that everything will  be  fine. I tell her that everyone at her new job are guaranteed to love her because of how amazing she is.

I help her fix her makeup, which we have  plenty of time to do since she set her alarm so damn early. We even have time for me to make her favorite breakfast. As she goes off to work, I finally get a small smile out of her right after she gives me a peck on the lips.

"Good luck! You've got this! Love You!
"Love You Too!"
