Jake's POV
The next day was how it was before, Erica bugging me every 5 minutes non-stop Monday through Friday. When I got home I went on YouTube and listened to some music like "Hem of your garment" by Cake, and a lot of other songs. While I was listening to it I realized a lot of Erica's problems has nothing to do with me, neither does anybody else's problems. I just hope she doesn't get stuck in a situation where it's my problem, if it is I'm walking away. My mom called me down stairs and said that I got a note from somebody named Eric, I looked at the note and it read: we know who you're with and it's not right that's why we're gonna help you. I threw the note away and went in my room and went to bed. I walked into school and saw Erica crying, I looked at her then kept walking. Later that day after school I got a text from Erica saying that she needs me to come get her, I tracked her phone on my GPS and it lead me to the woods. I walked in the woods and smelled smoke so I followed the trail and it led me to Erica. She was tied up and there were these guys. I'm glad you came one of them said motioning for me to get closer, I looked at Erica and then to the guys. They all gathered around a fire. While they had their backs turn I slipped some knock out drops into their drinks, I got them from Benny in case I run into trouble. In minutes they all fell down. I looked at Erica and started walking away. She was yelling for me to come back, you're a vampire I yelled back and kept walking.
When I got back I laid down on my bed and watched TV. I got a text from Erica which said thanks a lot, boyfriend. I replied saying no problem. A minute later she texted me again asking what my deal was, your problems are my deal I'm tired of it. She responded asking why we're going back out, in which I replied saying because I felt sorry for you and what was happening if you don't wanna go out just say it, at this point I don't care Erica. 10 seconds later I got a text saying fuck you we're done. I turned off my phone and went to sleep. I didn't get any sleep last night. I fell asleep in almost all my classes. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat lunch. All I did was go home and sleep, I didn't really talk to anybody anymore. The next day I went to see a therapist and after a hour of talking she declared that I was mentally unstable. The next 18 hours was hell. I ended up in a Mental hospital.
One month later
Erica's POV
It was weird not having Jake around; even though we broke up I still have feelings for him. The whole school heard what happened to him, some people are making jokes. Another thing that was weird was not texting him or getting texts from him. He was probably the best guy a girl could know but know he went from a nice guy to someone who is crazy. I laid on my bed looking at old pictures of when we were together. We looked so happy like nothing would break us apart. I got a text from Benny asking how was I doing, I texted him the whole night and through the rest of the week. I guess since Jake wasn't around Ethan and Benny would be kind of down so I figured I'd hang out with them a little more. Sometimes I wonder if Jake thinks about when we were together. I thought it was a match made in heaven, but I spent most of my nights crying. It hurt to think about him, about us. I have to forget about him though he was the past.
Jake's POV
One month in and I can't take it. I acted like I took my medication by hiding it in the back of my mouth when they looked in. I figured the only way to get out was to do something insane. I jumped on the table banging on the window to the doctors area. A minute later he was carrying me over his shoulder, I guess he forget he had a master key in his back pocket. With my arms dangling in front of me I slowly reached down and picked the key up, right as we got to my room. Before he let me down I put the key in my mouth. It was storming outside, I waited until around 11pm before I opened the footlocker by my bed with the key and changed into a pair of jean, white shoes, a plain black hat and sunglasses with a grey zipped up hoodie. I took of my patient uniform and put it in the footlocker. I hid my cellphone in my hoodie before they stripped me down. The only thing stopping me from escaping was two doors that required id. I walked out into the hallway and saw the janitors doing his rounds, I told him I was a visitor and I saw somebody hanging in the storage room. Right as he walked in I grabbed a pipe and knocked him out. After taking his id I locked him in the storage room. The doctors were stupid not putting a camera on this hallway. When I got past the two doors a security camera spotted me and it was signaling to security and doctors that I was escaping. I ran around a corner and vaulted over a broken down fence that they forgot to fix and ran into the woods.
Erica's POV
I was over at Benny's watching a movie. It was Friday night and I had nothing better to do. After the movie me and Benny were talking and I don't know we sort of kissed. I guess it was the storm that got me feeling kind of lonely but that kiss reassured something, that I wasn't alone and Benny was there to help me.
