Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Finally... it was the end of a long shift and Helena was happy to be going home.
Helena entered the locker room and walked over to the row where her locker was, spotting Patrick still at his locker and smiled as she walked up to him.
"Hey there, handsome." she said for only him to hear. "Callin' it a day?"

Patrick looked at her, smiling a bit at the same time. "Yep" he replied, "Looks like you are too." he added after standing up.

Helena gave him a nod in reply and opened her locker.
"Indeed I am." she replied, her voice reflecting just how happy she was about that.

Helena nodded in reply, getting what she needed out of her locker. "Yep." she replied, closing her locker once she was done. "Want some company?"

Patrick nodded after putting his bag over his shoulder. "Sure" he said to her before walking to the door.

Helena smiled a little, putting her coat on and looked at Patrick with a small nod. "Well, let's go then." she said in a cheerful tone, not thinking about the elevator just yet.

Patrick nodded, then walked out with her to the elevator. At the same time, he didn't know that he would be trapped in the elevator with Helena and that he would have to help her fight her fear.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Helena got a little nervous as they neared the elevator. Normally she'd avoid that thing, but since she had done that a lot around Patrick lately, she knew that if she did it again, he'd probably ask questions that she didn't want to answer just yet, so she bit her lip, wanting to fight her fear and try this longer ride just once. Just to keep her facade in tact.

Patrick glanced over at Helena and saw what she was doing. "You okay?" he asked gently as they got closer to the elevator. He was unaware of the fact that Helena was claustrophobic

Helena bit her lip as she gave a nod in reply to his question. Truth was that she wasn't as okay as she should've been. She was slightly scared without wanting to show it, a little panicked even, but he probably knew her too well, to overlook her act. But she wanted to stay strong, avoiding that kind of conversation where she'd tell him her best kept secret, not knowing that he'd find out anyway, whether she wanted to or not. Fate would intervene his time. Or... As a believer might say... God had other plans for them that night.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Patrick nodded a bit when she said that. Something didn't sit right with him, but he didn't say anything at the moment. At the same time, the doors opened on the elevator. Patrick held the door open and let Helena get on first.

Helena closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she hasitantly stepped onto the elevator. Not only didn't she like the feeling of being inside an elevator, but her phobia instantly kicked in, though only mildly now.
Take your mind off it, girl... you'll be fine... she thought as she turned around to face the doors.

Patrick followed her on, then hit the right button for the parking garage. After the doors closed, he looked over at Helena. "Helena, what is it?" he asked gently.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Helena sighed inwardly, trying to stay as calm as she could, then managed a smile as she looked at Patrick. "Nothin'." she said. "I'm fine."
And she was, well not fine, but okay. She would survive the few minutes in the elevator to get to the garage. And her secret would still be a secret. Or at least she hoped so, but she didn't know that only a few floors down, the elevator would get stuck.

Patrick nodded in reply when Helena said that to him. Seconds later, there was a loud bang, followed by the lights flickering before the elevator came to a sudden stop. Patrick looked around as that happened. "Great" he said out loud.

"Oh no...." Helena uttered in dread. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be true... not now.... not with her inside this elevator.
"Tell me this is just funny joke..."
She tried hard to keep calm and not to panick right away.

Patrick looked at Helena, "If it is, I'm not laughing" he replied as he kept checking the elevator. He then hit the emergency call button and waited for a reply.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Helena's face turned dead serious. "Me either." she replied. And as they waited for a response, panick started to build. Helena wasn't used to be stuck inside such a small place for such a long time. This was already long enough.
"This is why I don't use elevators." she replied. "Never have..."

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Patrick nodded a bit as he listened to her. He then looked over to her, seeing and sensing that something was off when she said that. "Helena, what is it?" he asked gently, concern in his voice as he spoke.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Helena looked at Patrick and she knew her secret wasn't worth keeping anymore. She had no other choice than to tell him the truth.
"I'm cleithstrophobic." she replied. "I panic in enclosed places. Have been since I was a little kid."

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Helena sighed a little, trying hard to just stay calm and not let the fear get the best of her, but as hard as she tried, it still seemed somewhat impossible to keep herself from panicking and the fact that Patrick held her hand, was only helping a little bit. But it still wasn't enough.
"It's not gonna help, you know... but thanks anyway." she said quietly, yet with a hint of hope still in her voice.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
Patrick nodded in reply, "You're welcome" he replied in kind. At the same time, a person on the other end picked up the call. Patrick looked back and told him what had happened.

Re: Secrets only keep so long... || Patrick, Anyone
The man listened to Patrick and then looked at the screen in front of him that monitored the elevator activity. He typed something into the computer and took a quick look at the result at his screen. Then he sighed a little. This wasn't good.
"I'm sorry sir, seems like the power has been turned off or distached. We had a call like that earlier this week from another building... we don't know how this happens... so it might take a while. I'll send someone out to you immediately." he replied and Helena sighed.
