The Notebook

-Chapter 21-

Somewhere in between the third and the fourth floor, the elevator jolted and stopped moving.

"Um what's going on?" Hannah asked her hands shaking.

"I'm pretty sure we've stopped," Todd said.

"Thank you captain obvious," Chase muttered.

"Well, what now?" Zoey asked.

Chase studied the panel of buttons and then opened a small compartment at the bottom that had a phone, "Hello. Yes, the elevator seems to be stuck. In between the third and fourth floor. Yes. Alright. Thank you." Chase hung up the phone.

"What'd he say?" Todd asked.

"They're sending someone to fix it... and it'll be at least two hours."

"What?" Hannah blurted and then she leaned against the wall and fell to the floor, trembling.

"Hannah, are you alright?" Todd asked and he knealed down next to her.

Chase and Zoey looked at each other.

"I-I'm just a little claustraphobic."

"My aunt Terry is too. You need to breath. Take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth."

Zoey and Chase sat down too, extremely close to each other.

"So Hannah how are you doing in your classes?"

"I'm getting straight A's," Hannah said.

"Really? Me too," Todd looked at her gourgeous, thick blonde hair and angelic face.

"That's awesome. Aren't you in the Honor Society?" Hannah gazed at Todd, who had a nice tan and perfect, straight white teeth.

"Yeah, I am."

"I knew I've seen you somewhere!"

"I know. I had the same feeling about you!" Todd replied. Hannah had stopped hyperventilating. They were smiling at each other.

Zoey smiled a little at Chase as if to say,"This is bizzare." She pulled out the notebook and handed it to Chase. He read her last entry, pulled out a pen and started to write.

Weird. So weird. My girlfriend and your boyfriend, hitting it off.

To be honest, I don't really want to be Todd's girlfriend. Not at all

Well, to be honest I don't want to be Hannah's boyfriend anymore.

Really?

She told me a few days ago...that she's in love with me and asked if I was in love with her too and I didn't want to break her heart so I idiotically said yes.

So you're not in love?

Not with her.

Chase, I have to tell you something.

Go ahead.

I lied.

What?

A few days ago when I told you I said I love you in a friendship way nothing more. I lied. I love you.

Well that's really good... Cause I lied to. I've loved you ever since I laid eyes on you.

Zoey read his last comment, looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back. Hannah and Todd were in their own little world talking about how they both wanted to go to Australia one day and meet an amazing Aussie singer by the name of Delta Goodrem. (A/N: She IS amazing.) Neither of them noticed when Zoey kissed Chase.

Then the elevator started moving.

A/N: So remember that guy I was talking about a few chapters back? We're cool now. He's proboly my best guy friend. Since I am in florida we talked at Wal Mart yesterday about Jello, cookies, and school supplies. It was great fun.And I had a really freaky dream last night.

I'vc been writing a lot. Have you noticed? I updated the sixth and now it is the eighth. Does that make up for it being so short?

Review! Make my day!
