#stuck

May 18, 2026 8:39 p.m.

You were waiting back at the hotel room watching television. You didn't know what exactly you were watching but you were entertained, after some time you were looking at the time noticing your girlfriend, Alysa, was supposed to be back by 8:15.

You didn't think anything of it due to the paparazzi can be out of control on some occasions. You went on your phone to doom scroll until you get a text message from your girlfriend.

lys | 8:43 p.m

Babe..

I'm kinda stuck in the elevator at the moment.

You read the text stunned, and chuckled. Of course someone like Alysa would be stuck but at the same time you were worried. You texted back Alysa,

"Oh my god, are you okay?!"

Read 8:44 p.m.

She didn't respond to you, making you worry a lot until she facetimed you.

You answered right away with your face covering your mouth, when the call connected you see Alysa with her hair up, somewhat red and sweaty. She was smiling at you.

"Hey....so this is the gang right now." Alysa said awkwardly as she holds her phone above her showing everyone in the elevator.

"Oh my gosh..." you responded, you see everyone overwhelmed from the heat building up in that small elevator. You saw that everyone was crammed up, some people sitting on the floor, some leaning against the wall. Even the elevator mirror getting foggy.

"Everyone, say hi to my girlfriend." Alysa announced to everyone.

"Hi Alysa's girlfriend..." Everyone said at the same time, tired.

"Are you guys okay?" You laughed.

"Yes, we're okay. Just really hot and I'm on the verge of passing out." Alysa replied.

"Do you guys want me to come over? I'll come right now with water and portable fans that the hotel provided." You offered.

"Actually, that would be amazing." Isabeau said in the background.

"Okay, be right back. I'll grab them right now."

As you were about to hang out, Alysa cut you off from ending the call, "Wait, can you stay on call? I wanna see your pretty face." Alysa smirked.

You gave her a disgusted look as sarcasm, "Ew, enough you're stuck in the elevator with 7 other people."

"But okay, I'll stay on call." You agreed.

"Thank you." Alysa said gratefully.

You were heading to the the table grabbing portable fans that the hotel provided for you and Alysa to use. You were confused at first why they offered that, but thank God they did.

You shoved them in your tote bag and headed downstairs to get some cold waters from the vending machines.

You headed outside the hotel to catch a taxi, you entered inside telling the driver where to go. You looked at your phone again to see what state Alysa was in, she looked very exhausted. She noticed you looking at her.

"Babe, if Idie. Just know that I love you." Alysa said sadly.

"Okay, don't say that. You're not gonna die from being stuck in a elevator." You argued.

"Ok fine, but if I do." Alysa said with her eyes wide open.

"Let's stop talking about death and get you out of there."

You were stopped at your destination, you rushed inside to the elevator.

"Okay, i'm waiting outside. Is there anyone trying to you guys out of there?" You questioned.

"Yeah, Evan. He's actually watching us over the camera trying to get help." Amber replied from the background.

"Okay, that's good. I'm gonna stay here waiting for you guys."

Alysa brings her phone to her phone, "Please help."

You chuckled, "You will get out, don"t worry."

9:05 p.m.

It's been around 20 minutes and you were still waiting for them. You watched Alysa's energy slowly going down, you started to worry because it's been way too long.

Waiting on the couch you see Evan and a few other people with him speed walking to the elevators.

You quickly stood up, "Hey, Evan are you here for them?"

Evan turned around, "Yeah, these guys are gonna get them out. Don't worry just give them time."

Alysa heard you and Evan's conversation, "WE"RE GETTING OUT?" She yelped quietly.

You looked back down your phone, "Yeah, I'm assuming so."

"YES" she said feeling relieved.

"We're getting out guys," Alysa said to everyone.

Many tiredly cheered in the elevator.

You stood by Evan watching the men trying to get them out. After some time the door opens, as it opens you see 7 tired people mood changed into relief.

They all come out of the elevator one by one with relief of the air conditioning being blown into their bodies, you were looking for Alysa as she was the last one coming out.

Her eyes widened with excitement and ran to you and picked you up to hug you. She spinned you around, kissing your check.

As she brings you down to the ground you felt sticky from her sweat, "Ew, you're sweaty. But i'm glad you're okay."

Alysa looks at you smiling and you guide her to walk where everyone was resting at.

"Is everyone okay?" Evan asked everyone.

"Yeah," Alysa laughed.

"We're so sorry," One of the men said to everyone.

"No, no it's not your fault." James said gracefully.

"Oh! Here are your waters and fans." You reached in your bag to individually bring them a cold water and fan for them to cool off with.

"Thank you so much," They all said.

"You're very welcome." You said smiling to them.

Lastly, you walked up to Alysa to hand her a fan and water. She looked at you smiling drinking her water, “Thank you,” she said while kissing your cheek.

You grabbed a napkin that was in your bag to wipe off the sweat off her face, “Much better,” you giggled to her.
