"Are you okay?" His voice said.
"No. But I'm sorry I lost control like that. I must've ruined your day. Now you are stuck in an elevator with a distraught girl who looks like a mess."
"You didn't ruin my day and if THIS is what you look like as a mess I can't even imagine your beauty when you aren't one." I smiled at the compliment. He had a British accent. Probably some Brit coming to meet an American Youtuber. "Tell me why your day has been so awful."
"No. It's really stupid. You'll think I'm a stupid old fan-girl with emotional problems."
"I swear I won't. Please tell me. We have to have something to pass the time in here."
I finally agreed and told him the entire story up until this moment.
"-And now I'm here stuck in an elevator."
"No way. I know you!" The guy stated.
"What? I've never met you in my whole life."
"You were 'GirlwithGun123' on Playstation"
"That's me." I said. "Who were you?"
"Alpacalypse." My heart stopped. I had just poured my entire gooey love story about Dan to Dan. But wait, I'm meeting Dan! I started freaking out when I remembered he wanted nothing to do with me. Once again the tears cam over me and I began to cry. Why was my luck so messed up!? Nothing good ever happened to me. With my embarrassment completely overcoming my body, I scooted over to the other side of elevator. I bowed down my head and my careful fingers evaluated the damage to my make-up. I had been intelligent enough to wear water-proof make-up in case I had the chance to see Dan and extremely fangirled. Well I guess it served its purpose.
After sitting there quietly for about ten minutes in my own silent exile/shun session, I was hoping Dan had forgotten my existence. I slowly pulled my phone from my pocket, and put on my headphones. I scrolled through my large collection of songs. I knew I needed to listen to something uncommon. I was debating my feelings at that moment. I was madly in love with a few songs at that time. I was mostly stuck between 'Melancholy Hill' and 'Demons'. I decided on 'Demons' in the end and blasted the music into my ears. But it seemed as if my headphones were broken. I smashed the volume button again but the sound still sounded awfully muffled. I was really disappointed because I had just bought these brand new, fantastic ear buds. Right before I turned off the song Dan exclaimed something.
"You like Imagine Dragons too? I thought I was the only one. Phil likes them as well, but I never hear it on the radios here."
Are you kidding me? I looked down at my headphones' cord and, sure enough, they weren't plugged into my phone. He must've thought I was trying to make his ears bleed. Gosh, what was wrong with me? This day only seemed to get worse. I realized the only way I could lessen the awkward situation was by replying calmly.
"Sorry about that, I thought my ear buds were plugged in. Yeah I love them. I'm not sure why they don't get played very often. This is my favourite song by them, though not many people appreciate it like I do."
"It's my favourite too!" Dan said excitedly. Ugh, he needed to stop being so cute. His dimples were visible as his dark chocolate eyes lit up with a blazing light. Why was my heart beating so fast?
"Really?" I asked with disbelief. He nodded and I smiled. Then he stood up and moved to my corner of the elevator. Then he sat down right next to me. He held out his hand expectantly, and for the oddest reason I handed my phone to him. He started to scroll through my tremendous collection of songs when he suddenly stopped.
"This is it." He whispered. Then he did the strangest thing of all. He started playing 'Grenade' by Bruno Mars. I raised an eyebrow as he held out his hand.
"Care to Dance?" He beckoned again so I finally let my defences fall and put my hand in his. I felt a little shock and then it felt like my hand melted into his perfectly. He wrapped his hands around my waist and I did the same but my hands were around his shoulders. We didn't even notice that the elevator started working again until the doors dinged and opened at the 45th floor.
"Well what do we have here?" Another familiar voice. Suddenly Dan's hands snapped away and his hands flew to his pockets. I followed suit and stood in the corner.
"Phil, I, uh, no it wasn't what I appeared to be! The elevator just got stuck and you know. I had to pass the time. It was her phone and she was crying and-" Dan stuttered out. Oh. My. Gosh. Phil. Lester.
"God, I'm not mad Dan." Phil laughed. "I'm glad you are actually making some friends beside me." Phil glanced over at me.
I blushed and stammered out, "We aren't friends."
"We aren't?" Dan asked with a hint of, what was it, disappointment?
"Well I mean, I didn't think you'd really want to be friends with me-"
"Of course I want to be friends!" Dan interrupted.
"Oh, well in that case, Phil I am Dan's new friend. Nice to meet you." I smiled and stuck out my hand. Phil disregarded my fingers and pulled me into a hug. I giggled.
"Any friend of Dan's is a friend of mine!" Phil stated after he pulled away. I glanced over and Dan looked really pissed off. Was he mad at me? Maybe he really didn't want to be friends... "So where are you staying umm, what's your name again?"
"Oh! My name is Skylar. I'm actually staying on the other suite in this floor."
"So we'll be seeing a lot of you?" Phil asked.
"Only if you want to. I know you guys are really busy with other things." I trailed off.
"No we aren't Skylar! Today was the only day we had anything going on. Since we are free at the moment you want to come to our room?" Phil asked.
"Yeah! Sounds great. I need to run to my room first, so I'll be over in a few." I smiled.
"See you then Skylar." Phil said perkily as he turned around and walked towards his door. I began to turn around until Dan grabbed my wrist and whispered something in my ear. he said, "We'll play COD when you come over. That's the closest I'll be able to come to catching a grenade for you." Then he winked and walked back. What was going on? I hurried into my room. Oh gosh, was it beautiful. The first bed I saw was massive and had gold coloured covers on it. I didn't have time to admire its gracefulness at the moment so I hurried to the bathroom only to find the disappointment that my makeup had not done its job as well as I believed it had. I sighed from embarrassment and fixed it. After running a brush through my hair and popping a mint in my mouth I headed over to their room. I only had to knock once before the door flew open and I heard a chorus of my name.
"Hey guys!" I smiled and waved my hand.
