Stuck

Janice is running ten minutes late and still can’t find her keys. She was supposed to meet her fiancĂ© and wedding planner to discuss the wedding. This is real important to her, Janice has been waiting all her life for this day and she already messed it up by being late. Five more minutes pass and she finally finds her keys, she heads out her apartment running to catch the elevator. She pressed the elevator button about twenty times trying to get it to open faster. “There is no way I am taking the stairs, I am on the 50th floor and I am already late,” she mumbled to herself. The elevator door finally opens and when she walks in she sees Veronica standing in the corner. Janice couldn't believe this bitch was back, it had been one year without this hoe and all of a sudden she comes back when she is about to get married. How convenient Janice thought.
“Well hello to you too Janice,” Veronica said.
“Don’t talk to me V,” Janice said.
“Why not J, don’t you miss me,” asked Veronica.
“Do you seriously want an honest answer?”
“Yes please.”
“Well I was hoping you never came back. Of course I didn't miss you bitch, No one did!”
Veronica muttered, “Same old Janice I see.”
Janice was so close to punching Veronica in her mouth. Who did she think she was? She lost all respect for Veronica after she tried to ruin her relationship with Chad.
“Oh and someone did miss me… Chad was the one that called me to come back,” said Veronica. At this point Janice was going to lose her mind. What was Chad even doing talking to Veronica? They had both agreed to cut Veronica from our lives after discovering how much of a snake she was. 
They were barely on the 45th floor and Janice had no patience at this point whatsoever. This day couldn't get any worse thought Janice. She saw Veronica staring at her from the corner of her eye and all she could do was roll her eyes.
Now on the 40th floor the elevator comes to a quick stop and Janice loses her balance and almost bumps into Veronica. The door isn't opening so they have no idea what is happening.
“Oh my god, please don’t tell me I am stuck in an elevator with you in here with me,” said Janice.
“Don’t act like that J, I haven’t ever done anything wrong,” said Veronica.
“Oh really is that what you think,” asked Janice.
“It’s what I know.”
“Well please explain to me why I always caught you flirting with Chad, explain how you tried to do whatever to fuck up our relationship.”
“Well sweetie I never flirted with Chad first, he was always the one that started it”
“No he didn't, I need you to stop playing the victim knowing damn well you are the predator!” yelled Janice.
“Why are you getting angry J, I knew you were always jealous of me but I didn't think it was this bad,” said Veronica.
“And I’m jealous of what? I have something you have been trying to take away from me for the longest and that is Chad, sorry to burst your bubble but he doesn't want you, so do us all a favor and get over yourself Veronica.”
“Ouch that hurts J.”
“Well I don’t care; I had enough of you and your shit!”
After that Veronica didn't have anything else to say.
The elevator is silent for an hour. Janice tries to distract herself and goes through her purse trying to get her phone. As soon as she finds it she checks it to see if Chad called.
“Twenty missed calls and fifty unread messages. Maybe I should try calling him before he thinks the worst,” said Janice.
She unlocks her phone and tries calling Chad but the call doesn't go through and her phone is about to die. Great just her luck thought Janice. Veronica is on her phone too and Janice already knows who she could be talking to.
“Let me guess… you talking to Chad,” asked Janice.
“Yes how did you know, he is very worried about me because I was supposed to meet him a long time ago,” said Veronica.
“And what the hell were you going to meet him for,” asked Janice.
“He didn't tell you… I am your wedding planner.”
“You have got to be kidding me.”
“Nope he called me a day after he proposed.”
“Hell no… You will not plan my wedding.”
“Why not J… I am one of the most well known wedding planners in Texas.”
“Well the only thing I ever heard about you is that you stay taking people’s boyfriends. You’re a psycho bitch.”
“Come on now, stop insulting me.”
“Can’t help but state the truth,” said Janice.
Janice had enough of this; she didn't know what to do. Why hasn't anyone helped them out yet? They both pressed the emergency button plenty of times. All she could think about was when she got out of there she was going to go straight to Chad and smack him in the face. She was very disappointed in him. He knows how much she can’t stand this girl and now she was stuck with Veronica in an elevator trying her hardest not to murder her.
Ten hours go by and they are still stuck in that elevator. It is getting hotter every second and Veronica is on the floor sweating like crazy.
“Janice I have a question,” said Veronica.
“What,” asked Janice.
“Will we ever be friends again?”
“We were never friends from the start…” said Janice.
“Why not,” asked Veronica.
“Maybe because you have always been a little bitch that no one could stand.”
“Come on now… am I that bad?”
“Yeah, you can stop talking to me now. It is too hot for all of this and I already can’t stand you.” Janice starts playing with her hair and ignores Veronica the best that she can. She notices that Veronica is starting to breathe very heavy she doesn't even want to ask if she is okay because she doesn’t care. 
Time keeps passing by slowly and Veronica's breathing pattern is getting worse like she is running out of breath. Janice asks Veronica if she can use for phone but Veronica doesn't answer. Janice quickly gets up to get the phone from Veronica’s purse. Luckily it still has fifty percent of battery left. Janice tries to call for help and Chad answers.
“Chad this is Janice. I have been stuck in this elevator for about eleven hours. No one has come and helped us. I really need you to get over here and get someone to open up this elevator for us. We are stuck on the 40th floor. Oh by the way your friend Veronica could be dying so I suggest getting here as soon as possible.” Before he has the chance to say anything Janice quickly hangs up. She starts to worry on how to keep Veronica alive. She never thought this would happen... but she isn't a bad person no matter how much she hates someone.
Janice tries fanning Veronica to keep her cool, it doesn't seem like it is working. Seconds later Veronica stops breathing. Janice is freaking out at this point. She starts crying for help and bangs on the elevator door. So many things are going through her mind. What in the world are people doing that they don’t notice an elevator being stuck for eleven hours and fifteen minutes. Janice gives up on getting out of there. She just lays back and closes her eyes.
“Janice!”
“Janice!”
“Janice wake up”
She opens her eyes and it is Chad in front of her. He picks her up and gets her out of the elevator. Janice starts looking around for Veronica and doesn't see her anywhere.
“Where is V,” asked Janice.
“She is on her way to the hospital, don’t worry she is fine,” said Chad.
But how could she be fine thought Janice. She stopped breathing a long time ago. Was this another one of Veronica’s tricks? Janice looks at her left hand to see if her engagement ring was there and it wasn't.
Oh that bitch! I should have killed her when I had the chance thought Janice.
“Chad I’m not feeling well do you mind taking me to the hospital,” asked Janice.
“Sure honey, we will head over there now.”
“Thanks,” says Janice as she kisses Chad on the cheek,

Veronica has no idea what she has coming for her thought Janice…

"You" writing

I was born in Texas and yes I am proud to say that I am a southern girl. My mother was born in Mexico City. She is a wonderful person. I admire my mom and all of the things she has done for us. She always puts us first. My mother has a great influence in the person I am today.  I hope one day I will be as good of a person as her.
The most important thing in my life is trying to make my family proud. The last thing I want to do is disappoint them. I plan on finishing high school then move on to college and study to become a nurse. When I finally get my degree I will get myself a good job and give back to my mom for everything she has given me.
My father is a very successful man, he taught me that giving up is for losers. No matter what I go through I promised him that I will keep going until I get what I want or truly deserve. I was never the type to enjoy school, it was never my thing. I know that I have to go to school if I want to be something in life. I cannot make the same mistakes others have made. Being the child of a Mexican parent was a struggle for me and my siblings. We were always limited to the things we could do. She wakes up every morning at six o’clock to start her job and doesn’t come home until seven in the evening. That is hard work to make sure we get what we need and want. I see how hard it is for my mom to support us but she still manages to do it. I am doing whatever I can to help her out. I have a strong passion in making things easier for my mother because she deserves better.
I am the type of person to always stay positive no matter how bad the problem is. I don’t like thinking negative because I feel that bad stuff does happen if you have a negative mind. Things happen for a reason, you might not know why at the time but good things will happen when it is all done. I have a positive mentality and I don’t have a problem with that. Everyone tells me that I am always cheering someone up. I just don’t like being bored, and I seriously dislike bad vibes. If I see someone upset I try my hardest to make them feel better. No one wants to be near someone that is all depressed, so I come to the rescue and make them happy. I have been and always will be a strong and supportive person. I was wired to love and care for others. I do this thing where I put everyone else first. I guess you can say I am selfless. I don’t think it is a problem. It is something I have been doing since I was little. It is who I am and I don’t plan on changing. J
