Breaking Point 9-11-12
There comes a time in everyone's life when they finally say that they have had enough... and Kaylyn was getting to that point before she even realized what was going on. Sitting in the corner of the room, with her arms wrapped around her knees rocking back and forth staring into the distance had become an all day every day thing lately and she didn't even realize she was doing it.
"Can't let it happen. Wont let him do it. They can't. Wont."
Her eyes seemed bloodshot, and her hair was unkept and oily looking. Her attire was wrinkled white sweat shorts and a white tank top that was just as unkept. It seemed like she was taking less time to take care of herself then anything now, and for those that knew her... it was not who she was at all.
"Just wanted to have fun. Not her fun. That's mean fun. Just wanted to play. Maybe a tea party with dolly and teddy? No, can't do that. Knife is bad. Knife no come to dolly."
Kaylyn's head came to rest on her knees as she continued to rock back and forth, her words becoming a bit muffled as she spoke again.
"Don't know what to do... must get help."
Kaylyn pushed herself to a stand and a knife fell from her lap onto the floor making a clatter. On her right thigh were two long carves with blood dried up around them. Maybe she knew exactly what the knife to her dolly would feel like after all.
Hours later Kaylyn stood there showered and changed looking rather normal once more... minus the lack of sleep look that was still rather apparent. Walking up to the desk at the doctors office she held the doll in her arms, hugging it, while signing in.
Sitting down she waited until she heard her name called and jumped up happy go lucky skipping to the back of the office before the door closed and she was asked the reason for her visit.
"I can't sleep. I keep seeing dolly with a boo boo so I got one too to see how it feels. It hurt. I can't let them do it. I can't let them hurt her!"
"Kaylyn... calm down for a moment. Let me get the doctor in here to talk to you and see if he can help you out."
The nurse walked away and Kaylyn pushed herself onto the table sitting there swinging her legs back and forth giggling as she did so. When the doctor came in he put something into his pocket and Kaylyn looked up a bit too late to see it. A smile on his face got him one returned before she stopped kicking her feet... or... tried to.
"How can I help you today Kaylyn? The nurse said you are having a hard time sleeping?"
Kaylyn nodded her head up and down with eyes wide and a smile on her face, the nurse came in while she was doing such closing the door behind her.
"Tell me what's keeping you up if you can?"
"They want to hurt her! She showed up with a knife and sliced my dolly up. But I ran away and dug until I seen that it wasn't my dolly at all and it was another one! She got the wrong dolly! But... she want's mine. She wants to take it from me. I don't want to let her go! I need my dolly. I like my dolly!"
The doctor raised a brow but smiled softly nodding at her.
"I see. The nurse mentioned you had a...." He stopped and thought for a second, before using the words Kaylyn had before. ".. a boo boo. Care to tell me what happened there and let me take a look at it?"
"Oh that!" Kaylyn put her doll on the table behind her before raising the fabric of her shorts so the cuts were showing on her right thigh. "They sliced the dolly. I wanted to see if it hurt. I wanted to know what dolly would feel like if they really got her. It hurts! A knife hurts! I can't let them do that to her! Help me hide her doc! You got to help me!"
"I will help you Kaylyn. I am sure I can help."
He stepped closer to her, the nurse staying close by. Kaylyn was oblivious to what was going on. As he examined the slicing on her leg, and seen the depth of them he spoke.
"Kaylyn, it looks like you did some damage here. I am going to have to fix that up for you. You understand you could have really hurt yourself right?"
"I HAD TO! I had to know how dolly would feel! I am fine now. I just need sleep. I think I will take dolly home and fix this on my own. You talk to much doc."
Before Kaylyn could move from the table the nurse and doctor were both holding her back and the doctor reached into his pocket pulling out a needle. Uncovering it he stuck it into her arm and she screamed to be let go before becoming woozy and fading off.
When Kaylyn awoke it was to find herself strapped down to a bed in the hospital. She groaned and pulled at the straps getting irked as they didn't budge.
"Damn it. What's going on here! Where is my dolly! I need my dolly!"
A nurse came in with a needle in hand. Cleaning a spot off on Kaylyn's arm she injected the medication and Kaylyn winced before calming down. Laying her head back on the pillow she sighed before speaking.
"All I wanted was my dolly."
Her voice was that of a child who was about to burst into tears. The nurse looked down at her before nodding towards a chair at the far side of the room.
"She is over there on the chair. She won't go anywhere."
The nurse went to leave and Kaylyn smiled happily looking at the chair. She was silent for a while before nodding her head.
"I understand. I know what they are planning to do, but that's not an issue. I can get out of it. What I need to worry about is my match against Jackson this week. Kids not going to be a joke. He is being trained by Cussen, so I know it's going to be hell in the ring."
"Just because he was trained by him, doesn't mean he knows enough just yet."
"That is true, but I won't know until I get in the ring, and I refuse to sit back and let him blind side me with gold in the ring and I am thinking he is only bronze worthy. Understand? This is something I have to go into full force. I have been slacking in the ring lately and I am starting to piss myself off with it."
"You think too much about it. Just have fun."
"Have fun? Have fun while someone is bashing my body into the canvas? Have fun while seeing you being torn to shreds?!"
"But I wasn't."
"YOU COULD HAVE BEEN! IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU!"
"Quiet down! Do you want them to shoot you up again damn it!?"
"Well... it's kinda fun when I get the fuzzy brain. Feel awesome for thirty seconds before knocking out."
"If you are knocked out you won't know what to do when you step into the ring with Jackson."
"Sure I will. He will be so worried about impressing Stephanie that he will over do it and I will catch him when he fails. I got this. I have this one in the bag."
Outside the room the nurses had been listening to the conversation and called a doctor over who was listening as well.
"Who is she talking to?"
"That is a good question. She was asking about the doll just before I stepped out."
"The doll huh?" The doctor looked over to the chair before nodding his head. "The doll has to go. Give her 10cc's and the second she falls asleep make it happen. I want to see how she reacts when it's not around. Keep her on twenty four hour observation for right now."
After a few minutes the nurse returned once more while Kaylyn was speaking and Kaylyn stopped talking right away looking at her with a frown.
"Don't you knock?"
"Sorry Miss Evans. Just coming in to give the medication the doctor ordered."
"She is putting you to sleep."
"Don't you do it. I am sick of laying down in this bed. I have things to do."
"Doctors orders."
The nurse injected Kaylyn just as she was speaking.
"But I don't want to go to lala land..."
Within moments she was knocked out before the nurse walked away, taking the doll from the room with her.
