Crazy love (Lexdine & Jevon)

Chapter eleven

TW: M£ntal h0spital

I know mental hospitals aren't supposed to be good places, but this place was hell! It was like- a person's worst nightmare.

Now, don't get me wrong: some people here are very nice.

Today is my first day here, and I already met cool people!

[Insert me and my friends self inserting ourselves bc my dumbass couldn't think of actual fake people to put in it. Although my name is my name, they changed theirs. Of course: the last names are fake!!]

There was this one person, Jake Lewis. They seemed super nice. And it was a funny coincidence they had the same name as my best friend.

And the other, Sello Davis. He was oddly quiet. It was kind of awkward.

Then, the other one, Salem Lewis.

He's not related to Jake at all. They just happen to have the same last name.

He was TERRIFYING.

I'm pretty sure it's because he's mentally insane. At least, that's what Jake told me.

Something about his mom causing it, I guess?

When I sat down for lunch, they were there. Random people, I didn't even know.

"Uh.. Hey?" The one said, looking at me suspiciously.

"Um... Hello." I muttered back.

The table was silent for a while, until they spoke up.

"I'm Jake! What's your name?"

"I-I'm Lexy.." I said, "Lexy Cross."

"Weren't you the mayor's kid?" The one with bright blue hair asked.

"Shut up, Sully. Let her speak." Jake rolled their eyes.

"Um, yeah. I am." I say.

"What exactly happened?" This 'Sully' asked.

"She was- murdered." I choke out, feeling tears burn in my eyes.

"You don't have to answer him, Lexy... They're just being annoying."

'Sully' elbowed Jake's side, causing them to elbow him back.

"I know you're most likely confused about this place, but we can show you 'round." Jake smiles.

"Thanks.." I say.

I stab into my food before glancing up.

"I have a friend back at home named Jake," I say, trying to start a conversation.

A normal one.

Jake smiles and blushes slightly.

"Oh, that's super cool!" They said, "Crazy coincidence."

"Yeah... Crazy."

"What's he like?" Jake asks, tilting their head to the side.

"Uh, well... I used to bully him most of our lives up until two years ago, but I got to know the best side of him, and he's basically my brother, now." I sigh, "If you could say that.."

"I'm sure you can." Jake shrugs.

I can't help but smile at them, and I can't help but study their features. I notice something quite quick.

Jake has quite feminine features.

"Uh- do you mind me asking an inappropriate question?" I ask.

Jake covers their friend's ears before nodding.
