Quinn Layton's Story

Quinn woke, sleeping though his alarm. He sighed reluctantly getting out of bed, leaving the warmth of his bed. He walked over to the radiator still in a sleepy haze. He couldn't be bothered to have a shower, like most days. His hair falls in black locks to about his chin, begging to get rather greasy. He didn't have time to shower anyway after being so reluctant to get out of bed earlier. After dressing into the clothes he had put on the radiator last night, a white v neck top and a battered and rather threadbare denim jacket. He then pulled on some black denim jeans and some well loved trainers. Combing through his hair with his fingers he looked out of his window at the sun rising over the horizon. He made his bed, taking the locket from under his pillow, he turned it over and over in his hand, it was a birthday present he had given to his little sister for her birthday this year after saving up the money from his paper round for months, inside was a photo of him and his sister together when she was a bit younger. He put the locket in his pocket before heading to breakfast, a lot of the food had gone by the time he got there but he didn't really care, he didn't care about anything anymore, not since what happened to his sister. Grabbing a tray he got some toast and a fried egg, taking a seat near the kitchen looking though the little window at the gas rings wishing he had a lighter or anything he could use create fire and give himself a break from everything.

Sky woke up sitting up in bed her stomach rumbled, she has been here a few days and has refused to leave her room or eat anything. She got out of bed into the chilly air, walking into the bathroom she turned on the shower looking at herself in the mirror, well the plastic mirror like the kind they give you in school when learning about reflection. Undressing she got into the shower the hot water warming her body making it feel like it was burning but she liked the feeling, it gave her something to focus on. She herd a banging at her door and she sighed getting and drying herself before pulling on some blue jeans, a blue and white checkered shirt as well as a cream coloured woolen cardigan. All her brand scars were hidden other than the one on the side of her neck, she moved her still damp hair round to cover it, putting on her favorite purple lace slouchy beanie style hat. Walking back into the main room she looked at the empty space on her bed.
"Celia it's time to get up lazy" She joked laughing a little. Celia, the girl she see's most of the time because of her schizophrenia and traumatic childhood got up and walked over to her smiling.
Her bedroom door opened, a nurse and two helpers at her door.
"Skylar, you need to start leaving your room, we've been lenient so far but if this continues we'll have to make you leave, also we advise you start eating, not doing so won't get you anywhere other than revoked and on a drip. So are you going to leave your room today?" The doctor said in a rather annoyed tone.
Sky shock her had the idea of meeting the other people setting her anxiety off. The two helpers took Sky by her arms practically dragging her out of her room before locking her door after her.
"It will be fine, I'm sure you'll get on with the other patients..." One of the helpers said.
Sky looked at the empty space beside her and whispered to Celia. "I'm sure they're not allowed to do this..."
"We have permission from your foster parents... the cafeteria is down that corridor and you don't have outside access untill you start taking your medication..." She said before leaving, the helpers following her.
Sky walked into the cafeteria, keeping her eyes to the floor, when she's anxious she can't look at people, she sits down at a table closest to the door unable to stop her feet tapping on the floor.
"It's on Sky, no ones looking at you I promise, and I'll get 'em if they do anyway..." Celia said to Sky, no one else able to see or hear her. "But please don't let them take me away by taking the medication..."
Sky smiled a little looking at the empty space beside her. "Of course I won't besides your the only reason I'm only slightly sane..." She joked. "If only they could see that your real..."
To anyone listening or looking over it would seem she was talking to herself.
