"This one's for Hailee," the fan walks up to the mic stand.
"Gosh, first she hijacked our panel, now she's getting all the questions. Jared, I think you need to do something about your daughter," Jensen jokes, and Hailee sticks out her tongue at him.
"Ignore him. He's a butt," Hailee grins at the fan.
The fan nods, "My question is, how are school and mental health combining for you?"
Hailee's face falls, but a small smile returns to her lips, "I'm getting better. Not much, but... A little bit. I'm surviving. Kinda."
She pulls the dog tag around her neck from its hiding spot under her shirt, "I found the will to live... Late November. But... Just because I'm able to breathe without regretting it, doesn't mean the pain is gone. After a long time, though... I started to go spaces of time without feeling it. Maybe an hour or so here or there. At school there's... A lot of reminders. Of memories I've made with him, of other things that somehow connect to him... But as hard as it still is... I am getting better. I am able to function most of the time. Even though sometimes it's just barely. It's better than I was."
"And you should be proud of how far you've come," Jared nods, "I know it wasn't easy. But you kept fighting when you wanted to give up. And you let the people that care about you lift you up when you fell down. You're doing amazing just as you are."
