Jay: Jaylen come on we need to get going soon. You getting ready?
Kelly: you think he's gone back to sleep?
Jay: maybe
We were getting our things ready when we heard a thud and clattering
Jay: shit
Me and Kelly ran to Jaylens room and his hair cream was on the floor. We looked around and Jaylen wasn't here.
Kelly: Jay the bathroom
The bathroom door was shut. I went to open it and it was locked
Jay: is this kid being fucking serious?
Kelly: Jaylen? Jaylen answer us kiddo
Jay: I'm gonna have to kick it down
I kicked the door down and Jaylen was laying unconscious on the floor with blood running down his face
Jay: fucking hell. Kelly check for a first aid kit
Kelly left the room and I sat beside Jaylen placing his head on my lap.
Jay: you're okay kiddo. I'm right here
After around 10 minutes he slowly began to come around
Jaylen: ow
He went to lift his arm but his arm fell back down
Jay: it's okay. You've had a seizure but your fine. You hurt your head
He just looked at me confused. Kelly then ran in with a first aid kit.
Kelly: he need stitches?
Jay: I don't know hopefully not. May be able to just use some butterfly stitches
I got out some antibacterial wipes and began wiping the cut
Jaylen: No no hurts
Jay: I know but I need to clean it
Jaylen: no
Kelly: it needs to be done kiddo
I tried to wipe it and he just kept moving
Jay: I need you to stay still
He carried on moving so kelly held him still.
Jaylen: get off me
Kelly: not until Jays finished.
I eventually wiped his face and applied butterfly stitches to the wound.
Jay: there you go
Jaylen: head hurts
Jay: I know but there's not much I can do
Kelly: you want breakfast?
Jaylen: not hungry
Kelly: how about a smoothie?
Jaylen: okay
Kelly went to make it while I helped Jaylen.
Jay: get ready. I'll be outside if you need anything
I went outside the door and just waited

I put on a white tee with cream cargo shorts and off white Jordan 4s. I opened my door and Jay was there. We walked downstairs where Kelly gave me my smoothie and meds. I took the meds and only drank half of the smoothie. We got into the car and my head was killing.
Jaylen: Jay?
Jay: what's up?
Jaylen: my head is killing me
Jay: well you did smack it off the sink.
Kelly: we tell you not to lock the door for a reason.
Jay: you need to tell us when you go in the shower
Jaylen: I know I'm sorry
Jay: it's okay but you need to be more careful
Jaylen: I know
Jay: we're here
We looked at the school and I was in awe. Imagine going to school on the beach. This place is way different to Chicago.
Jaylen: woah
We walked in and Lena was waiting for us
Lena: good afternoon
Jaylen: hi
Lena: you ready for the tour?
Jaylen: I guess
We went to the class rooms on both sides. The school is split. Middle school classes on the south corridor and high school on the other. We went to another part of the building that was kinda separate to the rest.
Lena: this is the inclusion base. We have four classrooms in here and a sensory room. Depending on how he finds mainstream classes, Jaylen may be moved into here. The classes are taught by teachers who specialise in SEN so they can adapt to accommodate the students. Classes have a maximum of 10 students and also have a TA.
Kelly: I think he'd do better in here
Lena: we can try it. Jaylen what do you think?
Jaylen: yeah sure
We walked around and found the basketball court. There was a team practicing and they looked really good. We then went to the football pitch and it was also a soccer pitch. It looked nice. Better than Chicago.
Lena: so that's everything. What do you think?
Jaylen: it's cool
Lena: we'll make a support plan which will allow the teachers to adapt to your targets and learning. That's everything. I think bill will be in touch
Jaylen: so I'm not gonna be in the main building?
Lena: it's up to you. We can try see how you get on in mainstream classes and then transfer you or you can just start straight away in base.
Jaylen: can I try mainstream classes first?
Lena: sure
Kelly: thank you.

We left and went to the car. On the way to the car everything was blurring and sounds were fading. I felt a sinking feeling that i knew all too well. The metallic taste hit me and I knew I only had a few minutes to get help. Kelly and Jay had walked in front.
Jaylen: J-Jay

Jay pov
Me and kelly was walking ahead of Jaylen so we could talk
Kelly: this might actually be good for him. They have the resources and support to help him
Jay: I know. Don't have to like it tho
Jaylen: j-Jay
We turned around and Jaylens eyes were glazed over and his lips were smacking. His hands were fiddling with the hem of his shirt.
We guided him to the car and sat him in the back. A few seconds later he began to come around.
Jaylen: f-feel weiwd. H'pen 'oon
Kelly was sat at the back so he laid Jaylen down so he was on his side with his head on Kelly's lap. Within a few minutes he started seizing. After 4 minutes the seizure died down.
Jay: he okay?
Kelly: yeah
I started driving to the hotel and Jaylen started to come round.
Kelly: hey trouble
Jaylen: No no s-stop
He started thrashing about. I looked in the rear view mirror and he looked really confused
Jay: he hasn't fully come around yet
We reached the hotel and I had to try carry Jaylen in. I opened his door and picked him up.
Jay: we're just gonna take you inside okay. Then you can sleep
Jaylen: j-Jay
Jay: hey buddy
Jaylen: hurts
Jay: you had a seizure trouble. But you're okay now.
I carried him to the hotel and laid him in bed. He fell asleep straight away. I went into the kitchen and Kelly got out a beer
Kelly: you want one?
Jay: yeah thanks
He passed me a beer and I started sipping it.
Kelly: what do you think?
Jay: I think it will be good for him. The school is good. At least he can get help. I think him moving away is the best thing for him even if it sucks. We'll still be able to ring him and see him when we want.
Kelly: I'm gonna call it a night
We both went to bed and fell asleep
