The Vamps Fanfiction

Chapter 3

"Come on, come on, come on!" I whispered as I waited for the lift to arrive and take me away. I could hear Matt running down the hall after me. I started to panic and pressed the button over and over but finally the lift arrived. The doors opened, inviting me in. I let out a huge sigh of relief as I collapsed on the floor of the elevator. The doors closed, protecting me from my violent boyfriend. I cried harder than I have ever cried before as I let every last bit of emotion escape me. I wasn't conscious that there was anyone else in the elevator until iI heard a low, soothing voice next to me.

"Hey, what's up?" I looked to my side and saw a boy, about my age was crouched down by my side. I tried to string a sentence together but my uncontrollable crying was making any form of communication impossible. Before he had the chance to say anything else, the lift jolted and silence filled the air.

"Shit no no no no!" He cursed as he punched the wall of the small box we were confined to. He pressed the 'help' button and we were told we could have an hour's wait ahead before assistance could reach us.

The boy sighed and kneeled down next to me.

"Hi, I'm Brad." He said, this situation must have been awkward for him but he took my hand.

"Now what's a beautiful girl like you doing here crying her guts out?" He continued with a smile. I had managed to catch my breath and calm down knowing that I was safely away from Matt.

"I'm running away from my boyfriend. I don't know where to go or who to turn to, I'm scared Brad!" I cried as I buried my head in his chest. He rested his chin on the top oh my head.

"Shhh, don't worry okay? What's your name?" He said, curious to know why I was running away.

"I'm Olivia, I'm 19. You?" I replied.

"Well hello Olivia, it looks like we're gonna be spending a bit of time trapped in here together huh?" He said looking around the elevator. "I'm 19, now why are you running away?" He finished.

"My boyfriend, I don't want to be with him anymore but when I told him he got mad and-" I started getting worked up until I couldn't finish my sentence. Brad moved from his squatting position and sat down next to me, my hand still in his. He rocked me as I cried and held me like we'd known each other forever.
