8: The Truth

"I'm sorry Dave.." Jane just looked down. David just looks at her with a puzzle mind. Still, there's so much that he didn't know. But, to ask is not an easy task to do. He let her cry her heart out.

"I can't believe you left me without a word. I am your friend, you should at least write," and she's crying again. It's hard to say it. To spell the truth to him will hurt him so bad.

"I'm sorry, Dave. I should write but it is so hard to do that. But, never mind. At least, I know you're happy with Helen," she said, with a sudden smile on her face. David just sighs. If she knew the truth.

"It's something that I wanna say. I should probably say it that night, but..."

The elevator is shaking hard. Both of them were startled.

"Something's burning!" Jane smells the air. The smoke keeps on puffing inside the elevator. David pushed the emergency button. The bell is ringing, but no response.

"Help!!! Help!!!" Jane scream. She's panicking. The smoke already absorbs into their lung. David starts to cough, badly.

"Dave!!" Jane hugs him tight. The elevator started to shake again. David pushed Jane to the corner. He kissed her so deeply and passionately. She's shocked.

"I love you. I always do love you,"

"Dave..." she's crying. They shared a kiss again. This time, it is hard and more intense.

"It's just a nice feeling to know that.."

The elevator keeps on shaking, like it almost falling.

"Jane.. say that you love me.."

"What?"

"Just say that! Please!" he holding her chin. Jane gets teary. She knew this is the end of their life. She kissed David so deep into his lips.

"I love you, David.." he just smiled. The elevator cracks a bit. Suddenly, it feels likes they went down, very fast.

"I'm afraid!"

"It's okay. As long as you love me, I knew I will die in good feeling.."

"I love you, David. I always do.."

"Love you too, sweetheart.."

They kiss.

And, the elevator snapped!

***

Ambulance and firefighters gathered around in front of the hotel. People rushed in and out of the hotel. Everything seems to get wacky here and there.

While repairing the other elevator, the other elevator broke down. It has worked too much that day, judging by the number of visitors that day and it is the only elevator that the hotel had.

After almost two hours stuck in the elevator, both victims have been pulled out of the elevator. But unfortunately, both of them were found unconscious with their hands tangled to each other, giving no response at all. Both victims, Jane Klien and David Roland were supposed to attend their high school reunion on the 10th floor. Both victims' families feel something is not right when their friends failed to reach them after waiting for so long at the gathering.

The hotel's management began searching both of them and one of the witnesses tip the info saying that she saw that girl matching the description.

"Who will ever forget those emerald green dresses that rock that voluptuous body?!" the witness said.

The hotel's General Manager, Mr. Steve Kawakai held a press conference after the incident and apologies to the victim's family and all the visitors for the inconvenience issue.

Both victims were rushing to the hospital. However, due to severe deep injury, Mr. Roland has been brought to the Rashmore General Hospital for further treatment.
