Tiny Glowing Screens|Daniel.Seavey

Human- the killers.

"How much did we actually set off?" I tie my hair back, leaving my jacket by the empty table. "I have no clue but thankfully most of it just hardened. We can just pick most of it up and put it in bags."

"Is it supposed to be heavy?" I asked, Daniel making his way over to help me pick it off the floor. "It's stuck. It's not heavy."

"Yeah that's my bad. Shit this is awful-" the entire thing went everywhere. It was sold only on the outside. "Oh my god."

My head fell onto Daniel's shoulder as I started to giggle like an idiot. "Is it gonna do that with all of them?"

I fall back, the block of it behind me had caved in. Cackling even more I covered my face trying to wipe it away. "It's near your eye."

He leans over, leaning on it and slipping as it exploded. I really couldn't breathe anymore. I knew this wasn't as funny as I found it. But it was just the funniest thing I've seen all year.

"I just made it so much worse. Fuck. Okay seriously stay still." Opening my eyes to stare, I sort of expected to make him uncomfortable but he didn't even seem to care. "Thanks."

"Yeah." It hit me a little too late that he was in fact still on Tyler's no go list. Boys in general. But if Daniel was seen with me I don't think he would ever been seen at all, ever again.

Now I'm just sat here double guessing myself as I sat up slowly, hoping he wouldn't moved but praying that he will.

I'm not really much for religion anyway. "We should probably try and figure out how to clean this." I said, like an idiot. "Mhm." His cold hand rests on my cheek. Brushing the hair behind my ear. "Maybe we should google it."

"Maybe." Sitting up a little more, I felt the foam stick to my hair. "Come on."

Standing up from the floor, I held my hand out. "We need to get this over with cause Tyler will beat us with the solid parts if we don't."

"What did you want to try?" He asked, his hand swinging back, knocking the water over. It was almost too good to be true. Watching it dissolve in seconds. "Water. I'll get some mops. You get some water from the sink and just fill the buckets."

"Got it." We went our separate ways, my walk down the hallway was cut short thankfully.

I wasn't really sure where I was going. I pulled the door open with the mops staring right at me. What I hadn't realised was that the door was a door that closes on its own.

And licks from the outside. So now I'm stuck in a dark closest. "Shit. Shit no. No please. Daniel!" Punching through door, I felt my heart beat jump up into my ears. "Daniel!"

I could almost feel the burning on my back start up again. "Daniel!" The door opened quickly. Daniel stood on the other side. "I didn't know it closed."

"That was way more than just a frantic worry for the door closing. What the hell happened?" I shook my head, grabbing the mops and rushing down the hall. "Come on."

"No. Ginny talk to me." He grabs my wrist, the pain still there from the other week. Everything was so painful anyway, but my body tensed up so much that I think I reopened my stitches. "I'm fine. I didn't mean to freak you out I was just trying to be loud so you'd hear me."

"No. Don't lie to me." I shrugged, worried for absolutely nothing. "I just, I have a thing with small spaces. I'm fine. Please just leave it alone. I'm sorry I scared you."

Kissing his cheek. I walked through the canteen, tipping the water carefully throughout the whole place. Daniel was still pretty quiet.

He just couldn't let it go, I just didn't want to burden him with some stupid little sob story.

"Is that why you moved?" He asked, I couldn't give in. There was just so much wrong with it that he didn't need to hear. "No I just didn't want to be there without my mum anymore. I needed her and I couldn't have her so I moved."

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to push you I just, I hated hearing it. It wasn't just a 'trying to get my attention' kind of yell. You sounded terrified. Like some little kid or something."

"I guess I was just, worried. I mean I don't really enjoy small spaces but also my house burned down so it probably just messed me up more than I thought." I hated lying.

I hated lying to him when all he was doing was trying to be kind and helpful. But talking about it terrifies me. "Also I hate the dark. So all that mixed together just sort of fucked me over."

"We can leave it there. You're freaking out. It's fine. The auditorium is open, we can finish this up and then go in there if you wanted." I nodded. "That would be fun." He kisses my cheek. "We have to be quick because the cleaners hate it when we're around where they're cleaning."

Having people respect you is such a strange thing. Like 'hey you're upset that's fine let's move on' what the fuck?

Apart of me is skeptic because I am my father's daughter. But I also don't want to lose this. So I have to keep my stupid mouth shut.

"Oh shit no way. There's a soundboard in here." Daniel ran over, both of us messing around with the buttons until we'd discovered the song by ear.

"You grab a mic. Make up the words." He laughs, moving me over to the mic stand. "What the fuck this isn't fair-" he shushes me.

The words slowly making their way to my mouth. Most of it was just humming but I did have a few good lines in there. "Oh I'd do anything to save ya."

Moving around the stage, pacing as thinking. I turned back to Daniel, watching him smile just as wide as I was.

I was pretty lost with most of it but I think it made for a better song than the one I made last week. "I have a music project due in tomorrow. I had half a song going ready. But if you wanted we could put one in together and you can get your trial in now."
