Mentally Unstable (A Jacob Perez Love Story)

Meeting Him

-Shayla's POV

~-~LATER THAT NIGHT~-~

I was just wondering the halls. It's not like I had anything else to do. Plus, I wanted to explore and get to know the place better.

I came across the padded rooms that I saw when I first arrived here. Most of them were empty, but I found the one with that guy in it. I looked through the window of his room.

There was the boy. He sat there in the corner. I observed him. He was actually..... cute. He had caramel colored skin and he had an afro. I couldn't see his body, but I could tell he was skinny. Skinny like anorexic skinny.

I looked over and saw a number pad. It must unlock the door. I looked back through the window and thought about it. Well, he's in a straight-jacket.... so it's not like he could do anything to me even if he wanted to.

Hmmm.... I dont know.

I saw the boy trying to escape his straight-jacket. He tried until he got tired. The straight-jacket obviously won.

Actually..... maybe it would be fun being in there. They usually only put the craziest patients in padded rooms. Call me crazy if you want.. it's not like I don't already know I am.

Yup, I'm doing it. I just have to figure out the pass-code. I typed '1234' on the padlock. The door actually opened -____-

Are you kidding me? That's just dumb. Who the hell ACTUALLY uses that as a pass-code?

Anyways, I walked in the room and sat down across from him. As soon as I sat, he turned his attention to me. He looked at me like I was crazy. I saw a hint of confusion in him look. "What the hell?" he said

I got a closer look at him. He looked as if he had not bathed in a few days. I saw that he had brown eyes. "Hellooo?" He said trying to get my attention. I must've zoned out...

"Uhh... hi" I said. I was a little nervous.

"Yeah, who are you and why the hell are you in here?" he said. I detected the anger in his voice. Before I could answer some nurses came in.

I was kicked out and sent back to my room. Wanna know something I don't get? Why we have roommates. If most of us get too mad, we'll just kill each other...

I walked in my room and laid down. I don't know why, but that boy was in my head as I fell asleep.

~-~NEXT DAY~-~  

*-In The Cafeteria-*

I was sitting with Bre, Craig, and Zendaya. I was drinking my water while they were just chatting away. I found myself thinking about that guy again. "Shay... Shaaaay? SHAY!" Craig called.

"Oh.. huh?" I snapped out of my thoughts.

"What were you thinking about?" Daya asked.

"Umm.... do you guys know anything about that dude in the padded room?" I asked. I guess I kinda avoided the question, but frankly, I didn't care..

They all nodded 'yes'. "Can you guys tell me about him?" I asked.

"Sure. Well, first of all, his name is Jacob Perez" Bre said

"Go on..." I said giving them all my attention.

"Apparently, he killed his parents and committed cannibalism all at the age of 12" Craig stated

My eyes widened. "What else do you know?" I asked.

"Not much.... just that he was taken to jail, and eventually wound up here. Guess the doctors thought he was psycho" Craig said.

All this just made me more interested in him. Jacob seems compelling. Damn, I'm definitely crazy...

But one thing I know is.... I'm gonna get to know Jacob. He's just so..... interesting.

Mark My Words... 

I WILL get to know Jacob Perez
