Kaylee Jaymie Halstead

Back to school

Today was the one day I was dreading. Back to school. I haven't been in like a couple months. I bet I'm so far behind.
Dad: Kaylee you up?
Kaylee: yeah!
Dad: I need to go. You alright getting to school?
Kaylee: Kelly's gonna take me
I walked downstairs and dad was getting his shoes on.
Dad: any problems call me okay
I just nodded
Dad: have a good day okay and I'll see you later
He gave me a kiss on my head and left. I went back upstairs to get ready. I got dressed and went downstairs to take my meds. I took them then kelly beeped outside. I went up and jumped in the car.
Kelly: morning trouble
Kaylee: morning
I don't know why but I was feeling really anxious about going back. As we made our way to school my mind was racing with things that could go wrong. My leg was bouncing, I was picking the skin by my nails, my heart was racing and I was feeling sweaty. Kelly held my hand for me to stop
Kelly: I know you're anxious but everything will be okay. If it gets too much ring me and I'll come and get you okay?
I just nodded. We arrived at school and Zach was waiting for me.
Kelly: I'll pick you up after school. If you need me call me okay.
I just nodded and got out the car.

I walked to principal Monroes office to collect my report
principal Monroe: Miss Halstead I wasn't expecting you in today
Kaylee: well I'm here can I get my report?
He passed it to me and I went to home room. I put my report on the desk and sat at the back with Zach and Tessa
Miss Walker: good to have you back Kaylee. Right I want everyone to get on with homework. Kaylee can I have a word outside?
I got up and followed Miss outside
Miss Walker: you in the right headspace for lessons?
Kaylee: yeah
Miss Walker: if it gets too much I want you to use your time out card okay and if you need to talk come and find me
Kaylee: thanks Miss
I walked back in and sat back down.
Zach: you okay?
Kaylee: yeah I'm fine
The bell rang and it was now time for science. We're all in different classes so I was by myself. I sat down and threw my report on mr mead's desk. Throughout the lesson I was getting more and more anxious. Nothing was going on to increase my anxiety but I was just overthinking. My breathing was getting a little shaky and I needed it to stop.
I walked out and went to the girls bathroom. It was getting harder to breathe, I was sweating and my heart was racing. I got out my phone and rang Kelly but he didn't answer. I tried dad and he didn't answer. I even tried grampa but there was no answer. I pressed Justin's contact and it started ringing.
Justin: hello?

Justin pov
My phone started ringing and it was Kaylee so I answered
Justin: hello?
Kaylee: Justin?
She was crying
Justin: what's going on?
Kaylee: I I can't breathe I don't know what's happening. It feels like I'm dying.
Justin: okay calm down kiddo okay. I'm on my way. Deep slow breaths kiddo
Kaylee: s-stay on phone
Justin: I'm not going anywhere.
I got in my car and drove to the school
Justin: I'm here kiddo where are you?
Kaylee: erm 1st floor girls toilets
I walked to where she said
Justin: I'm outside can you come out?
The door opened and Kaylee walked out. She ran at me and gave me a hug. We went to reception and I signed her out and went to my car. We got in and Kaylee was still crying
Justin: what's going on kiddo?
She was too worked up to answer.
Justin: kiddo what 5 things can you see?
Kaylee: you, school, trees, people and dog
Justin: what 4 things can you hear?
Kaylee: my heart racing, your voice, cars and and the music
Justin: what 3 things can you feel?
Kaylee: my hoodie scratching, my tears and your hand
Justin: what 2 things can you smell?
Kaylee: your aftershave and your breath it stinks
Justin: hey. What can you taste?
Kaylee: the saltiness of my tears
Justin: you feeling better?
She nodded
Kaylee: thank you
Justin: where do you wanna go?
Kaylee: can we go to yours?
Justin: sure
I drove home and we sat on the couch watching gossip girl. After about 2 episodes Kaylee fell asleep on me. I was scrolling through my phone when dad walked in.
Dad: what's Kaylee doing here?
Justin: she had a panic attack at school so I picked her up
Dad: does Jay know?
Justin: he hasn't been answering his phone
Dad: I'll ring him

Jay pov
I was talking to my CI when my phone started ringing.
Jay: hello
Hank: Jay
Jay: pops what's up?
Hank: Kaylee's here
Jay: why what happened?
Hank: she had a panic attack at school
Jay: why didn't she ring me?
Hank: she tried to ring but you didn't answer neither did I
Jay: I'm with my CI at the moment
Hank: finish what you're doing Kaylee fell asleep anyways
I finished with the CI and went to Hanks. I turned my key and let myself in
Hank: hey kiddo
Jay: hey pops
He gave me a hug.
Jay: she okay?
Hank: yeah she's just been asleep
Jay: she talk?
Hank: not a word. She's been sleeping since I got here
I went into the living room.
Justin: hey jayson
Jay: hey dumbass
Kaylee was asleep on a pillow on his lap
Justin: it took a while to calm her down
Jay: she say anything?
Justin: nope
Hank: Jay you want dinner?
Jay: what you making?
Hank: spaghetti bolognaise
Jay: yeah but
Hank: separate I know
Jay: thanks pops
Hank: Kaylee gonna have some?
Jay: yeah separate as well please
I went to the toilet and came back down and Justin jumped out to scare me
Jay: ah you little shit!
Kaylee: d-dad?
She sat up and I sat beside her on the sofa. She put her head on my shoulder.
Kaylee: anxiety sucks
Jay: you've been doing so well what happened?
Kaylee: my brain was just overthinking everything and it was all too much
Jay: was anyone being mean?
Kaylee: not at all. The class was whispering about the work but my brain was telling me that they were whispering about me. Even through I knew they weren't it still got to me.
Jay: I think we need to visit dr Charles and get you back onto your anxiety medication
She just nodded.
