Troubled Minds || Luke Hemmings (On hold)

The lights amongst the hallway walls were dimly lit and flickering faintly. Daisy dragged her bare feet slowly. She had always been afraid of the things lurking in the darkest corners of the shadows. 

Ashton's room was only a little bit further down the endless hallway, but Daisy felt as if her destination was getting further and further away.

Urgent footsteps coming a little bit further away in the halls made Daisy panic, assuming it was a tech or worse.. the Doctor. She turned to run, but smashed into another body. 

Not getting a good glimpse of the figure they took her hand into their's and pulled her into a room, shutting the door behind them. 

Daisy felt her chest puff in and out as she unclasped her hand from the unknown stranger and she backed up against the door just as a ligt flickered on, pouring light into the dark room.

Daisy's eyes met the strangers and she realized she didn't know him at all. In fact, she had never even seen the boy before now.

She remained silent, her shaky back against the metal of his door and the staring contest continued.

"You alright?" The boy asked, his voice sounding concerned and itchy.

"Yeah.." Daisy muttered after a moment.

"I saw your face and thought you saw a ghost or something. I didn't mean to sneak up on you. I apologize." He mumbled sincerely as he ran a hand through his slightly curly hair.

"I'm Carson." The boy announced, a smile spreading across his face.

"Daisy." Daisy said momentairly after and felt the warmth of Carson's hand take hers.

"I guess I should be going, but thanks for saving- helping me back there." 

Carson let go of Daisy's hand gently and he just nodded his head, still smiling. "No problem. I'll see you around?" He questioned more than stated.

Daisy just shrugged her shoulders and left, the door clicking behind her.

A knock sounded from the outside of Ashton's room. Light and almost inaudible. "Daisy!" Calum cheered softly, getting up from his bunk, almost tripping on Michael's legs as he hit the floor. "Dude, why do you lay on the floor when there's a perfectly good bed right there?" Calum laughed.

"I'm punk rock! I can do what I want!" Michael yelled.

"No you're not." Calum muttered as he opened the door, taking in Daisy's form.

"Dais." He smiled, moving so she had room to come in. Calum closed the door and watched as Daisy looked around, obviously confused about the bunk beds.

"How come you have bun-"

"They institute let us bunk together." Michael explained before she could finish.

She nodded, not really taking enough interest to add anything else to the conversation and she gazed around the room at the band posters on the walls and dirty clothing strewed across the floor. Calum watched as her eyes met Luke's body, laying on the bottom of the other set of bunks, his back to all of us.

She frowned softly but quickly smiled looking back to Calum. 

"So what'd you guys need? Ashton told me you guys wanted me to come here." Daisy said softly, sitting on the floor beside Michael.

Calum followed, sitting across from Daisy and laughed softly. "Don't take this offensively because Ashton loves you, but he wanted you out of the room so he could be with Olivia."
