Alex took a step back next to Katie as the whole place seemed to rattle. It reminded him of an earthquake or something. They waited in apprehension, Alex's fear overcome by a sense of curiousness. When it popped up and revealed it was an elevator, Alex let out a sigh of relief. Even though he was right, it didn't lessen the worry for him. Where would it take them? He had no clue, and was terrified to find out.
"What?" He cried, lunging forward and pressing himself up against her. "No way I'm stay alone, and more importantly no way I'm letting you go down by yourself." He looked at her, a sudden intense fire in his eyes. "We've never let each other go through anything alone. No matter what. It could be dangerous, and no way I'm letting you go alone." Before she could protest, he hit the button. Sure he was scared, but they'd do it together.
