"Considering that there is no way I'm ever doing one of your dares again, truth it is." I replied as Austin smiled proudly in response.

"Fine then. Hmm let me think... Ok. Who is your celebrity crush? Oh and feel free to say Austin Moon, I know he's pretty irresistible." He snickered.

"Yeah right, like that douche would ever make it on my list.' I joked watching as he pretending to be hurt by it. "No seriously let me think for a second."

I was still really not too keen on the whole 'celebrity' thing. Sure, Austin had surprised me in the past hours in how down to earth and real he was, but I couldn't help and think of all of the fake people out there floating around. Austin's comment just drove it all back. I would never be able to trust a celebrity, they were trained in how to lie to the press, and how to manipulate people to support them, and to ignore the negative, and probably real, stuff that they did.

As much as I wanted to, I had to make sure I didn't get too attached to Austin.

"Hey!" Austin startled me out of my daydream as I remembered the question.

"Sorry I was just imagining my perfect date with Calum from 5 seconds of summer." I teased. "You know that band right? Well, Calum is just so perfect I want to meet him so badly."

"Well played Ally, well played." He laughed, seeming to find my joke funnier than I'd expected, "You know I can set you two up one day if you're so into those bassists."

"OH MY GOODNESS AUSTIN MOON I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD EVEN DO!" I fake screamed pretending to fan girl at the idea.

"Well for now you're going to be stuck with Austin Moon for now." He said sadly, as though he'd almost been hurt by what I said. I couldn't help but feel he was different still. He wasn't one of those fake, desperate celebrities that I despised.

He looked so vulnerable at times, as though he didn't want to belong to the world he was in, and as he sat there in his ripped black skinny jeans and his fading t-shirt I was prepared to see him as someone I could trust. Or at least, I was beginning to.

"I guess he'll do." I smiled up looking at his sparkling eyes. "He's pretty awesome."

I mirrored Austin's blush as his face slowly grew into a smile. Not one of those smiles that seemed to gloss over the anxieties and struggles of everyday life, or one that seemed to mock the empty spaces that were found in the vast holes that consumed the hearts of others, but one that showed pure happiness, something that was hard to find in anyone nowadays.

I broke away from Austin's gaze as he ruffled his hand through his perfect blonde hair. It had grown messier in the past hour.

He was different to what I expected, it wasn't as hard to find the real human underneath him as I had thought.

"So how long have we been in here?" I asked as I stood up briefly.

"Um. Almost 2 hours according to my phone. We came in here just after half nine right?"

"Yeah. Wow time flies huh?"

"Yeah. Wait what's happening?" Austin stated as the lights in the lift began to flicker. I could hear a loud rumble and sounds that seemed to be rain coming from above.

"Um, I think it's a storm?" I replied.

"Wait so what do we do?"

"Nothing I guess. Let's just hope the lights don't go out!"

And with that the lights began to flicker in a growing manner. I looked over at Austin as he leaned against the wall taking a video of what was happening before he put away his phone, and then suddenly I could no longer see him as the lights flashed out with a bang.

The darkness overwhelmed the room as I tried to figure out what was happening.

"Ally are you ok?" I heard as Austin's voice echo across the room. "Let me just find my phone again one sec."

"Yeah I'm fine. Wait where'd you go?" I said as I walked over to where he'd been to see that he had moved. With that Austin turned on his phone and a small light pushed through the blanket of dark air.

"Hey!" I said relieved as I saw him again moving towards his bag. "So um it can't be dangerous or anything to be in a metal elevator during a storm when the shaft clearly is open right?"

"Well, we better hope not." He replied.

"Wow that was reassuring.""

"Hey, I'm just answering the question. Wait we should probably try and call the reception again."

"Austin there's no power we can't do anything.' I stated.

"Ohhhhh right." I could see him slide his back down the wall until he was sitting on the ground. "Um I guess were just going to have to keep waiting then."

I walked back over and sat down next to him so that my arm was pressed up against his. It felt good to know that I wasn't alone. "It's weird I couldn't have imagined a situation being any worse than this. I mean, there's no food, no bathroom, no space, no light."

"We'll be fine. You have me" He smiled, looking down at me as I leaned my head against his shoulder.

" I guess that's a pretty big positive." I whispered as he placed his head on mine. I hadn't felt as safe as I did then in forever. I was probably in the most comprising situation I'd been in all year, but for some reason everything felt ok.

I pulled Austin's hoodie around my wrists as I placed my hands curled up next to him.

"You know I never replied to you earlier Ally' He whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"You're pretty awesome too." He smiled as he pushed my hair back from my face and looked into my eyes. "Don't ever forget that."

I smiled back and kissed his cheek before he leaned his head back against mine. I couldn't stop myself from smiling in the darkened room. Everything felt …. Right.

Oh my goodness. over 20 reviews. what. the response i have gotten from the last chapter is overwhelming. it made me happy. thank you

okay so one of you guys asked me if they were going to be stuck in the elevator the whole time and if i knew where this story is going

ummm. im not sure, im guess im just going with the flow at the moment

and one last thing, i noticed in the last chapter Ally put her name as Becca in Austin's phone, that was a mistake, i was with my friend the evening i was writing this, and her name is becca, i was talking to her and writing at the same time and by mistake i put becca instead of ally. Im so sorry for that, i changed the name to Ally in chapter 4 as soon as i realised the mistake.

once again thank you for the reviews. it meant a lot.

25 reviews for the next chapter. XxXxXx
