Somewhere Only We Know

"Come on," Kira muttered to herself as she jabbed the up button a bunch more times waiting for the elevator to come and pick her up. She crossed her arms across her chest and sighed as she waited impatiently. The elevator bell finally rang as the doors opened and Kira entered. She was about to push for her floor level when she realized that someone else was in the elevator as well. "Ohmygod," she said quickly as she almost bumped into the person. "I-" she started, but when she looked up to see who it was, she stopped. "Oh," was all she said.
It was Conner. Just her luck.
"Hi," she said quickly at least giving him acknowledgement.
"Hi," he replied in the same quick tone. Neither was exactly pleased to see the other, but it beat standing in the elevator with some random person they didn't know. Tonight was the first time in a long time that they were actually at the same place at the same time. It was the first time they've come in contact this close for a while now. Yes, they had seen each other a couple of times after the breakup, but they really had fallen out of contact with each other.
Maybe they really had moved on.
"So, how are you?" Conner asked hesitantly. He didn't know if starting a conversation was a good idea or not, but he only realized that after he had spoken. "Or, how have you been?" he asked differently, not quite sure what he should really be saying.
"Fine," Kira answered quickly. She hated avoiding conversation with him, but that was exactly what she was doing. That would be the reason why she didn't return the question. She just wanted this ride to be over so they could go their separate ways, the way they had been doing for two years now. Neither of them had intended for any of this to occur, but things just happened. Whether they wanted it to happen, that was a different question. That was a different story.
Everything was going as planned for her, that was, until the elevator bolted to a stop a few levels before their floor. The lights flickered on and off for a few seconds before everything went dark. Kira's eyes darted around the elevator even though it was dark and she couldn't see anything as her eyes hadn't adjusted yet. The two in the elevator stood still, waiting for something to happen. What had happened anyways? Then, one light had flickered back on.
"What was that?" Kira asked ignorant of the fact that the light that reappeared was probably the emergency light.
"Not the wind," Conner surprisingly sarcastically answered. Kira rolled her eyes at his comment. This was not what she needed right now. She jabbed at the floor button, but nothing was happening. She tried the open and close door buttons, but they were ineffective as well. Conner's hand from behind her then gave a poke to the red emergency call button. The sudden sight of his hand coming from behind her made her flinch a little, but she was pretty sure it was unnoticeable. The only thing on her mind right now was to get out of here. Kira prayed that something would happen.
But nothing happened.
"Oh. My. God!" Kira cried as she punched at the emergency button a bunch more times.
"That's not-" Conner started as he grabbed her arm to prevent her from pressing the button again. He paused when both of them stopped and realized what he had just done. They stared at each other for a moment. For a second, Conner swore he saw hurt in Kira's eyes, but just as he had detected, she recovered herself with a glare. He winced as he let go of her arm. "Going to do any good, especially if you break it," he finished. Kira stared at him for a moment longer, but then walked to the opposite corner of the elevator, trying to distance herself from him as much as she could. Their plan was to stay as far away from each other as possible so nothing would go wrong. Well, at least that was her plan. She just couldn't take more of the whole drama stuff.
She stood there for a few seconds before her eyes popped open. She dug for her cell phone in her purse which she had on her. There was service! Kira quickly dialed out to her boyfriend, pressing the phone into her ear and waiting for him to pick up.
"Hello?" Kira said when someone had picked up. Conner crossed him arms as he heard a muffled voice on the other end of the line. Even without Kira telling him, he knew who she called. Who else? He knew it didn't matter anymore, but he felt just a bit off, like he always had before when it was about him and her.
"No, you can't believe this. I'm stuck in the elevator," Kira said into the phone. "Hello? Are you still there?" Kira asked. "No, wait! You have to help me. Hello?" she said. Conner could hear the panic that started to rise in her voice. "Are you still there? Hello? He-" Kira said, but then stopped dead. She took the phone out of her ear as she glared at the screen for a few seconds before snapping it hardly and shoving it back into her purse.
"So?" Conner asked. He knew he wasn't doing much to contribute to their current problem, but there really wasn't much he could do. "What happened?"
"So my phone is out of battery. That's what happened," she snapped at him defensively. "Where's yours? Why aren't you calling someone to get us out of here?" she asked harshly.
"I don't have my phone with me," Conner replied calmly as possible.
"And why not?" Kira asked glaring at him from across the elevator as she started to get pissed off for no apparent reason.
"Because," Conner said. "It's broken and I haven't gotten a new one yet," he replied. Kira sighed and shook her head in annoyance. Typical Conner. He never changed.
She wished she hadn't either.
