"Meet me in front of the elevators," he whispered harshly as he passed me in the hall.
He didn't stop to hear my answer but kept walking. I wasn't able to read his expressions, but his steps were determined and his posture was erect. Perplexed and confused, I pulled myself from my dream-like stupor and followed down the hall. I found him standing inside the evelvators, doors wide open.
"Aren't you coming?" It wasn't really a question, so much as a hope.
A little confused, I stepped gingerly inside. He reached over and pressed the button for the roof. Silently we rose, the air heavy with unanswered questions. He didn't say a word, but his face said volumes. His usual smirk was gone - replaced by a tight-lipped grimace and deep worry lines graced his forehead. I resisted the temptation to smooth them out and stared at my feet. Suddenly he pressed the emergency stop button, lodging us between floors two and three.
He only asked one word, "Why?"
Fear seized my stomach like a cramp and beads of sweat instantly popped onto my brow. I cleared my throat several times, desperately trying to stall for time.
"This is childish. What are you going to do? Keep me trapped in this elevator? People will notice we're missing."
I tried to sound angry and stern but my heart wasn't in it. He knew that and I knew that.
"If you really wanted to leave you would have." I opened my mouth to protest but he gave me look cold enough to freeze me to my core. "Unless you want to leave now?"
He stepped from in front of the buttons and waited for me to make the next move. I didn't. I stood cemented to the floor, trying to process my thoughts as quickly as possible.
Should I stay?
