CHLOES POV

"So you aren't from around here?" I ask.
"Nah, here for work purposes, but I love it here!" He exclaims.
"Oh, right okay."
There's an awkward silence. Until he says in his beautiful voice, "My name's Joe"
"Chloe" I reply with a toothless smile.

We just stand there until the elevator starts to shake. "Um, does this normally happen?" he asks with a shaky voice.
"N-n-no" I say back with the same sort of sound.
"I'm claustrophobic" We say at the same time. which causes a slight laugh but it doesn't last long, because the elevator stopped. It just stopped moving.

"Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. NONONONONONO!" I scream ( probably a little to loudly )
"Please say this isn't happening!" he yells
I can feel my self starting to panic. oh no not now.
My throat is tight, my hands start to sweat and I can feel my heart beat picking up. "not now, not now" I whisper to myself.
" a-are you o-o-okay?" he asks stuttering.
"no, not really, anxiety, panic attack, small spaces, stuck" I manage to get out. At least they're all key words right.
"uuh um okay" he says

"How does Zoe deal with hers" he says to himself. Who was Zoe, was that his girl friend? hmm, I hope not. Ugh now isn't the time.
I'm still panicking and it starts to get worse. Sore neck, shit. I know what happens next.
I start to hyperventilate, oh god, oh no.
Joe just starts to cuss under his breath. "i-its o-o-okay" i say "i-im f-f-fine"
"clearly you aren't" he says a little calmer than before.

He takes out his phone and presses a few buttons. I'm not to sure who his calling but I hope he hurries up.
