Running back to the party I head straight over to Emmy taking the bottle from her hand."No more alcohol you're on a ban"
She frowns at me turning around to get a bottle of sparkling grape juice,"alcohol free" she tells me with a
cheesy grin.
Rolling my eyes I walk back to where Eli and Jace are chatting,both of them laughing with beers in their hands.
"Hey guys"
"Abigail,what's up!" Jace asks giving me a side hug
"Not much,literally just chilling" I answer taking a bottle from them.
"Where's Payton?" Eli asks
"Should be on his say now,he stayed back to get ready" I answer starting to wonder myself.I mentally take note to go look for him if he isn't here in the next few minutes,its been a while.
"So when are you and Stella moving in together?" I ask
"the plan is late January.Gives you girls some time to say a proper goodbye"
I nod thinking of all the things we can do together,I'm so happy to see Stella ad Eli taking their relationship to the next
level.
Payton's POV
Taking a step back I take one last look.
"Perfect" I whisper to myself.Grabbing my key card for the hotel room and my phone ready to head out and join Abi at the party.
As I lock up the room door I hear clicking of heels coming round the corner."Payton?" A concerned voice calls
"Abi? Why arent you at the party?"
"You took ages to get ready" she exclaims taking a pause for a moment, "you look handsome though"
"Thankyou baby" I smile walking over to her,I place my hand on her waist slowly escorting us both to the elevator to take us up to the next floor and into the party.
"Emmy's probably sneaking gin or wine right now" she mutters to herself
"Sounds like Em" I laugh,"Let her be,she doesn't get drunk every night.And it's new years,maybe we should have some fun too"
"Maybe we should" she hums in response walking into the elevator.I press the floor number for her but as I press it the elevator light flicks on and off,before the whole thing goes dark and it powers down.
"Payton what is happening?" Abi asks me panicking as she grabs onto my arm.
"Power outage?" I question
"Call someone" she demands,before pulling her phone out of her purse to do it herself.
As she calls for help I take out my phone putting my flashlight on so we can see.
"h..hello?...yes is this reception....I'm staying st your hotel and I'm trapped in the elevator on floor 12."
I hear mostly Abi's side of the conversation,which is a series of questions to the receptionist downstairs until the call ends.
With a sigh Abi turns to me,"We might be stuck here for the whole night.They say the elevator broke down and they're going to call for help"
