trigger warning: 9-11
------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe you!, I shouted storming towards the elevator.
My best friend, and longtime crush, Gerard Way, lead singer for the new band 'My Chemical Romance', had taken MY song, and didn't even give me credit! I stepped into the elevator, as the doors closed, I saw Gerard's raven black hair and pale hands pushing open the doors revealing the rest of him.
"Nothing you say will make me forgive you." I told him turning away.
"I know, I screwed up and I'm sorry." he says stepping into the elevator, " I'll tell them you wrote 'I'm Not Okay'. Just please forgive me, you're my best friend!"
By the time he finished his apology, the doors of the elevator closed. Great. This is gonna be a long ride. How many floors are there in the world trade center again? Oh yea, only 104! I looked up at the light that told us what floor we were on. 97, just peachy. I turned to look at Gerard. His hair was in his face but i could tell he was tearing up. I knew how much he hated when I was mad at him. We've been friends since second grade, and here we are, 17 years later and still best friends.
"Please, Emily?"' he looked at me choking back his tears.
All of a sudden, there was a crash and the lights went out. I couldn't see anything, but I felt a pair of hands snake around my waist. It was Gerard. He held me tighter as the box began to shake. We were the only ones in the elevator and all I could see were the red lights blinking 82 .
"Gerard, just tell me why you thought it was okay to take my song!", I yelled over the deafening sound of the elevator rattling.
It took him a few seconds to respond, "Emily, I'm sorry. You know I've been wanting to start a band." he finally tells me.
"You could have just asked me! Or given me credit at least!" I shout still trying to keep my temper. After all, we were trapped in an elevator 82 stories up.
"I know. It was stupid of me, and I'm sorry." he says now crying and hugging me tighter.
"No Gerard. I-" I was cut off by the elevator tearing off the building.
Now all I could hear were screams. I hit the ground as everything slowly faded to black.
