Take The Risk | Jaden Hossler Story

The Party

Next morning

10am 

I roll over to reach for my phone to check the time. Dang, it was late. I scroll through my instagram while laying in bed. An hour passes and I hear a knock on my door. 

*knock**knock*

Bailey: Come in.

Leah: morning babe

Bailey: oh hey

Leah: I just came to check on you and see how you are after yesterday incident?

Bailey: It definitely took a hard hit on me and played with my emotions but I trust what you said about Jaden and not blame him for it. I wanna chat with him today though. 

Leah: You go for it babe. The truth is exactly what you need and he will totally understand that. Oh I wanted to ask you...

Bailey: mhmm..?

Leah: The boys are throwing a party tonight and there will be a few new people here and people will probably be drinking. Will you be okay? I won't be here. 

Bailey: Um..yeah. I will stay in my room.

Leah: No you won't. Its time to meet new people Bailey. 

Bailey: Ahh..no. 

Leah: Yes. I will make sure of it. 

Leah pulls out her phone and types a fast message then gets up and leaves.

Bailey: Okay then.

I climb out of bed and decide to get ready for the day. The thought of more people being in this house makes me feel sick. My social anxiety is gonna definitely take over. It was enough meeting 7 new boys. Imagine more people. I begin to breath heavily and can feel a panic attack starting. The room is spinning around me. I fall to the ground with my head in my knees and my breathing doesn't calm down. 

I hear a knock on the door but can't get myself to answer it. The door opens and Quinton is standing there...

Quinton POV 

I noticed Bailey hadn't been out of her room all day so I decided to go and check on her. I knock the door but she doesn't respond so I assumed she was in the bathroom so I opened the door and saw her on the ground with her head in her knees. I run up to her and wrap my arms around her. 

Quinton: Bailey, its alright. Breath and calm yourself down. You are okay. 

She looks up at me all flushed and pale. I start a conversation with her to try and distract her from whatever triggered her panic attack.

Quinton: So what is like in Connecticut, I've never been.

Bailey: Its..its really nice there. The people I've meet have always been kind to me. I made some awesome friends there but I miss my best friend Kate. She is my world.  I would do anything for her. We have been friends for the lonest time. 

Quinton: Oh yeah? What is she like?

Bailey: Quirky and funny. She has that strange personality that not everyone clicks with but I did. She is incredible. I'm thinking of actually calling her real quick. Thank you for helping me. I really appreciate it. 

Quinton: Of course. Anytime. I will see you downstairs?

 Bailey: Yeah.

I get up and walk out of her room. There is a lot I need to learn about Bailey. She seems like she has been through a a lot.
