Being Carter Hood (5SOS)

This isn't happening.. It couldn't be

"S-stop." I manage to find my words as my hands firmly press against Michael's chest to push him off. You think I'd be thrilled that Michael and I are stuck in an elevator, he confessed he likes me them pins me up against the wall and kisses me! But how can I!? It can't make me forget how he treated me since we met. I was just beginning to accept the fact he'll never like me and now this!? Liking Michael has just been messing with my head.

Disappointment fills Michael eyes once I push him away. Tears role down my cheeks as I try to grasp if this is real or not. He stares at me intensely. "I'm so sorry I've hurt you.." His says to me while shaking his head slowly. "This i-isn't fair." I try my best to not stutter, but the fading tingle on my lips made my lip quiver. "I know. I also know you hate me, but I don't hate you, Carter." Michael tries to explain. He raises his arm slightly, the way he moved it was so cautious and gentle. His hand cups my cheek and wipes a tear away with his thumb. Just by his soft touch my cheek tingles. It takes everything in me to not give in.. But he can't get away with it. I smack his hand away harshly. "You think just because you decide to be nice now that were all good!?" I yell to him. He takes a step back wearing a look of a mixture of emotions, but mainly regret. Michael doesn't say anything. "Its not your call, Michael. You don't just get to do that, then expect me to go along with how YOU feel." I glare at him. "I don't expect that! Honestly I expect far from that! But I can't just walk away without trying!" He exaggerates while looking at me with pleading eyes. Squinting my eyes slightly, I take a couple steps towards him. "Maybe you should just walk away." I say quietly yet bitterly. When people are mad they say things they don't mean.. Which is exactly what I just did. He looks taken back by my words. His face goes from shocked, hurt, then angry. "You know what, as soon as this elevator is fixed and these doors open thats exactly what I'll do!" He yells while turning away from me and walking over to the other side of the elevator then sitting down fustrated. I don't even bother to move my feet. A sad sigh escapes my lips as my body slides down against the wall. My hands grip my legs, hugging them to my body as I try to bury my head in my knees. The small room grows to a tense silence, but neither of us dare to speak.

Two hours. A full two hours we have been in this elevator and we don't have our cell phone, since we both left the room in a hurry. Yet no sign that people know were stuck. "I can't take this anymore." Michael mumbles before getting up and begins banging on the elevator doors. "Hello!? Some one help!!" He screams to the wall. I lift my head up as I flinch from his screams. My head is pounding, my heart won't stop beating so fast, I'm shaking, and my eyes are swollen slightly. "Michael please stop." I croak and he quickly looks to me. "We need to get out of here!" He says loudly making me flinch again. His face softens at my reaction. "Hey.. Are you okay?" His body kneels down infront of me to be eye level. As much I want to snap at him with a smart comment, I just don't have the energy.
So I nod my head instead. He looks at me unsure. "Carter.. Your burning up." He mumbles as he examines my face while cupping both of my cheeks to hold my head up. Concern spread his features. "I'm f-fine." I mutter. "No your not, we need to get you out of here." Michael says before getting up and walks over to the doors again. "Cover your ears." He tells me and I nod. As much as I press against my ear, I still hear muffled screams for help coming from Michael as he bangs on the doors.
I think about thirty minutes pass when Michael gives up. He lets out a grunt and kicks the wall. I slowly remove my hands from my ears knowing he stopped. His back leans against the wall then he slides down next to me with his legs straight out infront of him. We turn our heads and look at eachother. "Don't worry they'll fix it soon." He tells me as he almost is trying to convince himself. I nod my head and close my eyes. My head is spinning.. I feel his arms wrap around me and pull me close. My body relaxes into his touch. "I'm still mad at you." I mumble. "I know.." He says quietly.
Suddenly right when I was close to falling into a deep sleep both Michael and I jump at the movement of the elevator. "Were moving!" I gasp as my body sat up straight which took alot of energy from me. "Finally." He mumbles while quickly standing to his feet. "Can you walk?" I nod my head at his question and begin to try to lift my body weight off the ground but end up failing. "Take my hand." He mumbles. I do as he says and take his hands. Michael pulls me to feet only to have me stumble forward into his chest and soon collapsing in his arms. My eyelids shut weakly once my vision began to blur, the movement was making my head pound harder. "Don't worry I got you." Michael says while picking me up bridal style. My stomach was churning and I out a quiet grunt. My surroundings began to fade. I think I hear a ring. Then loud voices.. And that's when everything just went black.
