Reckless and Rivalry: A JacksGap Fanfiction.

Panic and Calm

"Shit, shit, shit! We're trapped!" Jack screamed, pounding on the door.

"Jesus, Jack! Relax! Have you tried using the telephone to call for an emergency?" I said, surprised at how calm I am.

"Right!" He said.

He picked up the phone and looked at the phone number that was next to phone that said, "In case of emergency, call this number."

He called the number and waited. When no one answered, he redialled the number. No one picked up still. He slammed the phone on the receiver.

"No one picked up?" I asked.

"Nope. Just silence." He said.

"Here, I'll try to call Finn." I said.

I grabbed my phone and called him.

"Hello?" Finn answered. His voice sounded kind if staticy.

"Finn? Can you hear me?" I asked.

"Hello? Ava? Are you ok?" He asked, it was hard to make out what he was saying.

"Finn, get help! Jack and I are trapped in the lift! I don't know what floor were on!" I yelled.

Silence. I looked. No cell service.

I shut my phone off and put it in my pocket.

'Ok Ava, stay calm. Don't freak out. It won't help anyone. Just stay calm and wait it out.' I told myself.

"WERE GOING TO DIE IN HERE!!" Jack yelled.

"Shut up! No were not! Someone is bound to get us sometime." I said, trying to persuade Jack and myself.

"How are you so calm?" Jack asked.

"I'm not sure. I think it's because freaking out wont solve anything and will most likely make the situation worse than it is." I explained, looking at my nails.

"Well, some of us are worried about never getting out of here!" Jack screamed, sliding from the wall to the floor.

I walked over to Jack and sat next to him. He had his head in his hands.

I put a hand on his shoulder and he looked at me.

"Hey, everything is going to be okay. There is bound to be someone to find us soon. If worse comes to worse, we could climb out of the hole in the ceiling." I said, pointing to the hole in the ceiling. It was patched with a door in case of emergencies.

"Alright. So, what do you wanna do? We're probably going to be here for a while. Might as well do something." Jack said.

"Hmm, I'm not sure." I said.

"How about patty cake?" Jack suggested.

"No." I said.

"C'mon!" He pleaded.

"No." I said.

•30 minutes later•

"Roll it, and pat it, and mark it with a B. And put it in the oven for Ava and Jack!" We said.

"That didn't even rhyme?" I said.

"Oh well." He said.

"Lets play a different game!" I said. It seemed that we totally forgot that we were stuck in a lift.

"Ok, like what?" He asked.

Then suddenly, the lights started to flicker. We watched as it flickered once again and shut off.

"OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!" Jack yelled.

I grabbed my phone and went to my torch app. I shut it off and it was still glowing light.

"Lets tell ghost stories." I said, putting the torch under my face.

"Alright, but I warn you, I tell the scariest stories." Jack said, getting his phone.

•Later•

"And then, the door pounded. The wind grew louder. The girl was hiding in the closet, not making a peep. Then, the killer burst through the door. He looked all around and was about to leave until she sneezed. The killer ripped the closet door open and eviscerated the girl. Tearing limb from limb." Jack said.

"That's amazing! It wasnt scary, but it sure was an interesting story." I said.

"Why thank you!" Jack said.

I looked at my battery. It was literally at 3%.

"You got to be fucking kidding me." I grumble.

"What?" He asked.

"My phones running out of battery. I have to shut it off." I said.

"Me too. Looks like we're going to be in the dark for a while." He said.

We turned off our torches and sat in the dark. Suddenly, it started to get really cold.

"Are you cold?" Jack asked.

"Ya, a little. I'll be fine though. What about you?" I asked, running my arms to capture some warmth.

"I'm cold too. Come here." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just do it. It's the only way we could keep warm." He said.

I hesitantly scooched closer to Jack. He put his arms around me and I suddenly felt really warm. I layed on his chest and felt him breathing.

"Are you warm?" He asked.

"Ya, you?" I asked.

"Ya." He said.

We sat in dark, silent. I suddenly realised I was exhausted from the days events. I wasn't sure if I was sleeping or not because i couldn't see a thing. But I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
