CRYSTAL CLEAR-Jude Bellingham

CHAPTER 8

I entered the elevator and not far behind me I felt someone's presence...

"I want to chat, please."

I ignored his words and turned my back on him and the door that had closed first now.  I started working with them to open them and get out of them as soon as possible... but the doors don't open.

Several times I aggressively and excitedly pressed the button on the inner wall of the elevator, but nothing happened. Panic caught me, I hate outdoor spaces. I caught Jude's gaze on me.

"What happened?"

"T-they won't open"
I said worriedly in a panic

"Move so I can look"
he said and gently nudged me. He tried to fix the situation we were in, but nothing happened. While he was working on the door, I looked to see if there was a signal, and guess what, there wasn't.

"NO SIGNAL!"
I was sobbing almost through tears.

"It's over, we're trapped, we're going to run out of air and die. Great,"
I said now through tears
Jude turned to me, I don't know if he was worried about me or himself.
He took my face in his hands and gently placed them on my cheeks. He looked me in the eyes and said:

"Crystal everything will be fine I promise you, when did you see that someone died in the elevator, please don't piss yourself off for no reason"

"I'm very scared..."
I said whispering, tears running down my face. I looked at the floor.

"I know..."
he said, and after a long time, I felt the same pressure on my body that I felt the night before we parted. After that, he hugged me tightly. We enjoyed it and I just knew he enjoyed it as much as I did.

I got out of the rut in which I could sit still without any fuss. I took off the heels that were killing my legs. And sat on the floor of the elevator. Most of the panic is gone. Jude removed it.

"May I?"
He asked to sit next to me.
I put my hand on the spot next to me as a sign of approval. He sat there and started talking.

"Now that you have nowhere to run, I have to tell you everything. You don't have to talk, you don't have to look at me and you don't have to forgive me, but I want you to listen to me... until the end."

I looked at one point of the elevator without moving or blinking.

"After we talked, Trent came to training and said he heard everything."

I looked at him, he wasn't looking at me. I quickly looked away when he started talking.

"He asked me not to be so close to you, and he had a reason for that and I wasn't mad at him. I understand him, I've been wrong in the past but I swear it changed. You're the prime example of that."

His words left me in awe. I didn't take my eyes off that one spot in the damn elevator.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, but I see I've pretty much achieved that by my absence. Words are few, I know, but I'm really, really sorry Crystal."

I turned and looked directly into those damn black eyes. I saw the pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, too,"
I said with a smile

" for what?"
He said settling down

"Because I gave up so quickly, I shouldn't have done it, because... you're definitely someone Jude."

I said and he smiled. since I was in a silk dress it was half-really cold, Jude saw it and gave me his hoodie and he stayed in short sleeves.

"Thanks"
I said and he nodded his head with a smile. He put his arm around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"What did I miss this last month"

"Um, well, I moved to Madrid..."

"MADRID!?"

"Yes..?"

"Guess who signed for REAL MADRID last weekend"

"You're lying!"

"I swear"

"So I'll have to look at your boring face even there," I said sarcastically

"Like it bothers you"

"Anyhow, I got a job in the fashion department there and I'm here for the show that's happening tomorrow night."

"So you're going fast"

"Too bad, Trent arranged for me to stay until the end of the EUROS, so I'm staying"

"So I'll have to watch your boring face until the end of EUROS"

"Like it bothers you"

"Not in the least"
he said looking into my eyes. We smiled in each other's faces until we heard the door open.

I got up so fast and got out of that elevator, Jude stood up laughing in it, I took his hand and pulled him out of that damn room

"Crystal, where were you before the power went out?" I heard Trent's voice

"trapped in the elevator"

"What? How... what are you doing here"
he turned to Jude

"I was in there too"

"So you've ironed things out"

"Um..."

"We didn't anzd we won't"
she picked up her heels and headed to her room. Tent came with me, and I turned to Jude and winked at him, so that he would know that everything is fine between us now.

I came to the room, lay down on the bed like the happyest person in the world right now....
