"I can’t believe we’re on the top floor." You say to Liam as you step into the elevator.
You two were staying in New York City and your suite was on the top floor. You were afraid of heights, but it’s the New York skyline so you would somehow manage.
“I know, love. The view will be priceless.” He replies.
All of a sudden the elevator stops. Your eyes widen instantly because that’s another fear of yours: being stuck in an elevator.
“Liam.” You say on a quick breath out. You were already becoming short of breath.
“It’s okay love, they’ll get us out soon.” Liam starts to repeatedly press the emergency button while also texting on his phone.
You, on the other hand, slide your back down the wall, putting your head in between your legs, and try to calm down before you have a full blown panic attack. So far your efforts are not successful.
“Alberto knows we are stuck and is on his way to tell the front desk.” Liam comes to sit next to you and rubs your knee. “Deep breathes, love. We will be okay.”
“What if-” 
“Don’t think about it. We will be out of here in minutes. Just breathe.” Liam’s voice calmed you a little, but not much. He can see you’re still in distress. That’s when he starts singing 18 into your ear. You start to calm down more, the tears starting to slow.
Liam’s phone rings and he picks up.
“Hello?”
“Okay.” He pulls the phone from his ear. “(Y/n), they’re going to have to turn the power off in the elevator for a second so they can get it moving. It won’t fall, okay?” He keeps a calm, steady voice the whole time, looking at your head still between your legs.
You give a slight nod.
“Alright, go for it.” Liam says.
Right as the emergent light goes on you grab Liam’s hand tightly and feel the tears coming back. But then the power is back and the elevator is moving upwards. You hear Liam sigh in relief.
The doors open and you go to try and get up, but Liam picks you up bridal style first. 
“I say we just watch a movie and go to sleep, sound good?” Liam asks as you snuggle into his next.
You nod.
“It’s okay baby girl, we’re safe now.”
