Ya like my Photoshop. Its dah best ain't it ^-^
Jack's POV
I shuffled out of the car into the swarm of kids. It was Monday and I wanted to be anywhere but here. My stomach held an empty pit of regret and anxiety that threatened to swallow my entire mind.
"Come on Jack. We'll show you to your class," Dodger said cheerfully. How does she remain so happy. I was only that consistently happy when I was with Mark.
I sighed and followed her either way. I kept my head low and my eyes to the floor and I followed the two pairs of feet in front of me.
We stopped outside a classroom with a teacher inside. Dodger turned around to talk bit someone called out before a word left her mouth.
"HEY DODGER, MINX." That voice. It sounded familiar. It made me want to run away and cry. I turned around and froze when I saw...
"A-Aaron?" my voice CME out shaky. It matched my body. I was shaking in fear of what he might do to me.
"Sean?" He asked surprised. I felt my breath catch in my throat. He can't be here. He just can't.
"You two know each other?" I heard Minx ask next to me but everything else was blurred out as my vision blurred and spun.
I tried to breath but I couldn't. I could hear voices all around me but they all merged together to form fuzzy noises in my head.
"Jack.... Take.... Calm.... Hold... Help....," was all I could hear as my vision flashed and I saw a white ceiling. How did I get on the floor? Did I fall?
"It's okay Jack, just breath for me okay?" I heard a females voice call. It was unfamiliar but I followed its instructions.
I nodded and tried my best to take deep breaths as she said soothing things to me and urged me on. After a while everything returned to normal and I felt tears streaming down my face.
"W-what h-happened?" I struggled to ask. The lady, who appeared to be the school nurse, gave me a sympathetic look.
"You had a panic attack sweetie. You're lucky Aaron here came and got me," she said softly. When I saw Aaron I leapt to my feet and shakily walked backwards.
"Whoa, calm down Sean I'm not gonna hurt you. I promise," Aaron said putting his hands up.
"T-that n-never stopped you bef-fore," I stuttered out as tears streamed down my face. His expression changed and the room fell silent.
"C-can I go home?" I asked quietly. It was so quiet the nurse had to think about it before realizing what I said.
"Of coarse you can sweetie. I'll take you to the office," she said softly leading me away. I give Minx and Dodger an apologetic look before returning my gaze to the floor.
Trish ended up coming and picking me up. Mary was still at work. I sat in silence as she drove me home and let me in the house.
I went to my room and lay on my bed. Tears lingered in my eyes but I refused to let them fall. He couldn't be there. He just couldn't.
"Are you sure you're alright Jack?" I heard Trish call from my door. I looked at her and shook my head no. I will never be OK.
"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" She asked softly.
I shook my head again. I didn't want to be moved away from here because of my old school bully. I'll go back tomorrow but just ignore his presence. I didn't want to ruin the girls fun.
"I'll be downstairs if you need to talk or if you want anything okay. Mary won't be home until later so I'm just gonna look after you until then," she explained, still standing in the doorway.
