Gone(A multi bandom story)

And So It Begins

*Rachel's POV*

"Payton! C'mon! Please let me get the ice!" I gave my best puppy dog eyes to my older sister who was trying to hide the little square bucket given to us by the hotel.
She gave a loud sarcastic laugh, "I don't know... I am the oldest..."
Her smirk rose hot air into my brain, "Fine... Just... Be careful," I sighed and shoved her towards the door.
"I wish I had a sister," Mary smiled at me as soon as Payton left, "All I have is Matthew..."
I giggled at my friend who was trying to lay out her clothes for tomorrow, "Hey, Matt isn't THAT bad! And we're pretty much sisters, bro!"
"Yeah I- WHAT IS THIS?"
Mary held up a small picture of what looked like her mom from back in 2006. Her hair was fringed and tufted into a large brownish red ball on top of her head, and her shining teeth were as white as the clouds in her professionally taken work photo.
"Dude! Is that your mom?" I leapt off of the bed and ran over to rip the picture from her hands, "No way!"
Mary, who was dying from laughter and embarrassment, said, "I think she put that in there when she was helping me pack!"
"Oh my Jesus... Your mom is the greatest..." I shook my head and tossed the photo back towards her.
Mary's mom was always very overprotective, but she always made me feel welcome. I remembered the time I told her my dad let me go into a mosh pit by myself and she was awestruck with horror... Haha!

*Payton's POV*

No way... That is NOT Elliott Gruenberg getting ice from that machine...
"Oh! Sorry, did you need some?" He looked up and me and moved out of my way quickly.
I gasped trying to catch my breath, "Oh! No! Go ahead!" A nervous laugh snuck up on me.
Gosh, he is so cute!
"Alright..." Elliott went back to filling his bucket, "You know? Call me a nerd, but I think this is the best part of staying in a hotel," He popped an ice cube into his mouth and grinned at me.
"I know right?" I said as he began to allow my bucket to be placed in the machine, "I never use the ice to be honest..."
Elliot laughed and looked down at me, "Same! Hey, my name is Elliott by the way! I feel like we've been having this nice conversation and its weird that you don't know my name!"
"Oh! I already knew that- I mean... Uh..."
Nice going, Payton.
"I'm... I'm Payton..." I finished my sentence.
Elliott began to slowly walk towards the elevator that I came from, "Nice to meet you, Payton!"
He seemed to avoid the fact that I embarrassed myself.
"Wait? Are you going up?" I quickly grabbed my container of ice and hustled after Elliott.
"Yeah! You?"
We both entered the elevator and reached for the buttons in the tight corner.
I nodded, "Yep! Level 3!"
"Guess we-"
The elevator began to shake, causing Elliott's sentence to be cut short. Before either of us could scream for help, everything turned black and my heart beat fell slow.
"E...l..." I tried to find Elliott, but he was gone.
What is going on?
