Home Run

level 5

When it came to helping people Sophie was also happy to help. She grew up being taught to always be there for people and support them. So being supportive and helpful came naturally to Sophie. This was also the case with Joe. Both Sophie and Joe were some of the kindest people and would doing anything to make friends,  family and their viewers happy. Joe was on his way to the address Sophie had sent to him the previous night by an uber. For the whole ride Joe thought about just opening the door and doing a James bond style role out of the car into on coming traffic so he could avoid the awkwardness that was upon him. He had never been alone with Sophie let alone been to her house.  But no, a fantastic role into traffic couldnt save him now, the car had come to a stop.

"Here we are" The uber driver announced. Joe quietly thanked the bald man and opened the door. Sophie lived in an building with floors so she adviced Joe to take the lift as she lives on the top floor. He gulped and made his way inside by pushing the glass door. He looked around but saw no lift anywhere. The sight of no lift made Joe wonder if he had the right place but after checking the address he concluded he did indeed have the right address, so where was this lift?

Joe checked for someone who perhaps worked in the building but he found no one. It was 20 minutes past the time Joe was meant to be at Sophies and he was growing frustrated. He grabbed his phone from his Jean pocket and dialed Sophie's number, she picked up after a couple of rings.

"Joe? Where are you? Are you coming?"

"Yes I'm here and I can't see a lift"

"You idiot its around the corner"

"Hey don't call me an idiot. And what corner?"

Sophie let out a sigh. She too was growing inpatient and just wanted to film and move on from the awkward feeling. But Joe couldn't find the lift.

"Fine stay where you are I'm coming to get you"

"Okay"

They hang up without a goodbye and Sophie leaves her apartment picking up her keys on the way out. She walks down the hall and presses the button for the lift. A couple of seconds later the doors open and she steps inside pressing the ground floor button. The doors slide close and the lift begins in journey down to the ground floor. Suddenly the lift jumps and Sophie spreads her feet apart and puts her arms to the side to gain her balance. The lift carry's on like normal and Sophie shrugs off what happened.

Once she reached the ground floor the doors open and she walks around the corner to find Joe standing and playing on his phone.

"Joe!" Sophie calls out to him. He turns to the sound of her voice and walks to her.

"This way" Sophie states turning and walking back to the lift.

"Thanks" Joe states as Sophie presses the button and they wait for the lift

"No problem" Sophie replies

Lately they both have realised that their viewers want to see a collab with them both. At first they ignored it but they found its what their viewers really wanted, so they decided to give the viewers what they wanted and try not to make this the most awkward experience of their lives.

"any traffic on the way here?" Sophie questions to try and make things less awkward

"uh no not-" Suddenly Joe was cut of mid sentence by the lift shaking and making funny noises "What's happening?!" Joe stated beginning to panic

"the lift must be breaking down" Sophie said calmly. She had lived in this building ever since she moved to London, this wasn't the first time this had happened.

"What?!" However for Joe this had never happened and in his heart he believed he was going to die in that lift.

"Joe its oka-"

"do not tell me its okay"

"alright iam sorry" Sophie grew quite and looked down. She just wanted to help Joe calm down, but looks like he didn't want her help. Joe looked at Sophie and grew guilty for snapping at her.

He sighed before speaking.

"look, iam sorr-"

"its fine" Sophie said, cutting Joe off. "lets just focus on getting out yeah?" Joe nodded, still feeling guilty for his previous actions. Sophie grabbed her phone but unfortunately there was no service and it was the same for Joe.

"try the emergency button" Sophie says to Joe, who was closest to the panel. He looks over and presses the button and patiently waited.

"Services will be with you as soon as they can please wait" a voice spoke at the them

"what else are we gonna do?" Sophie speaks sarcastically making Joe let out a laugh. She looks over to him and smiles, proud of her sarcastic remark.

"looks like we are stuck here" Joe states finally calm from his previous panicked self. Sophie nods and and sits down with her back against the lift wall.

"looks like it" she replies
