Dreams Pov-

It's been a couple of weeks since we've brought Jacob home. He's been eating better but it's still hard for him. He hasn't run away or anything but he does have his moments. He has been hanging out with Roman but here this past week he hasn't gotten out of bed. We've tried to talk to him but we can't get anything out of him. We aren't sure what happened. He was hyper and stayed up all hours of the night cleaning and dancing but now he won't eat, shower, or get out of bed.

" What should we do?" George asked.

" I'm not sure love. I'll take him his breakfast and see if I can get anything out of him." I said softly. He nodded and I grabbed a plate. I took it to Jacob's room and knocked lightly. I walked in and flipped the light switch. We noticed he liked that more. He rolled over and looked at me. His eyes were bloodshot. I set his breakfast on the bedside and sat on the bed.

" What's going on sweetie?" I asked softly. He didn't say anything.

" Whatever is going on you can talk to us. We are here for you." I said. He just turned over and I sighed.

" Okay, honey. I brought you breakfast. Try and eat a little." I said. I kissed his head and grabbed his plate of dinner. We take him plates every mealtime and pick it up when we bring another one. I walked into the kitchen and placed the old food in the trash.

" You forgot his water," George said. I nodded and took it to Jacob's bedroom. I set it beside his food and walked out. George and I sat down. We started eating when I got an idea.

" What if we invite Roman over? Maybe he could help." I suggested.

" It's worth a shot. It wouldn't hurt to try." He said. After I finished eating I called Nick and explained what was going on. He said they would be here soon. They lived right down the road. I told George and he nodded. I hugged him and kissed his head.

" He will be okay," I reassured him. He nodded and someone knocked on the door. I went and opened it and Nick, Karl, and Roman were standing there. I smiled and they walked in.

" What's up?" Roman asked.

" This past week he hasn't gotten out of bed. He won't eat, he's not showering, he just lays in bed." I said. He nodded.

" How did he act before?" Roman asked.

" He was hyper. He stayed up all hours of the night. He would be cleaning and dancing around. I mean it was like he had 10 energy drinks. It was like this for a week." I told him. He nodded.

" Did he have any mental disorders on his papers?" I thought for a moment.

" I didn't think it had anything like that. What are you getting at?" George asked.

" Every paper has a list of health issues. Can you grab it?" I nodded and grabbed Jacob's papers. Roman looked at them and flipped through some pages.

" Look right here. It says he has severe PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, and body dysmorphia. That's not what I was looking for but I would say you need to get him an appointment with a therapist." Roman said.

" What were you looking for?" I asked.

" Look I could be wrong but with what you said I think he could have undiagnosed bipolar." He said.

" What's that?" Geroge asked.

" It's like you have high moments where you are really active and doing things you never would. Then it's followed by lows. Lows are essentially really bad depressive episodes. I'll go check on him but I'd say make an appointment with a therapist." He said. I nodded and looked at George. Roman walked to Jacob's room and knocked. He walked in and closed the door.
