-=Chapter 9: Cool Water=-


(At the studio)

        "Hello, and how are you lovely ladies doing this morning?"  Nick says as Sarah and I walk in.
        Sarah says in a confused way, "Fine"
        I walk up to him, put my hand on his forehead, and say, "I'm fine but I'm kind of worried about you."
        The director walks up to us and says, "So are we ready to work?"
        "Yeah, I guess.  Where are the guys?"  Sarah asks
        "I think they're in the make-up room."  Nick says
        I start walking towards the hall and I say, "I'll go get them."
        As I walk down the hall Kevin and Howie come walking towards me.
        "Hey, where you going?"  Howie asks
        I look down the hall and say, "I'm going to go get Brian and AJ.  Why?"
        "Maybe we should go get them."  Kevin says
        "No that's ok, I want to."  I say as I start walking
        "Well OK then."  They say and start walking toward the front of the studio.
        As I walk down the hall I can faintly here someone talking.  As I get closer to the make-up room I can hear it's Brian; and he's talking to AJ.
        "Hey, man.  Don't worry about it.  She's just really confused right now. She'll come around."  Brian says
        "How can I not worry about it?  It's kind of hard when I see her everyday, and everyday I fall more and more in love with her."  AJ snaps
        I decide to interrupt the conversation so they won't get in a fight.  So I walk in.  I look at AJ and his eyes are all red, he'd been crying a long time.
        Brian looks at me and says, "Oh, umm...hey."
        "I'm sorry.  I...I came to tell you were about ready to start."  I say softly
        AJ grabs his sunglasses, puts them on, and walks out of the room.  Just then I realize what I've done.  I feel weak, like I'm going to pass out.  I stumble a little.  Brian reaches over and grabs me.
        "Maybe you should sit down."  Brian says
        I reach for a chair and say, "I'm evil, I'm the worst person in the world."
        He grabs a chair, sits in front of me, and says, "No your not.  You're just confused.  Believe me I know how it is, I had to go through this before."
        I stand up and say, "I OK now.  We better get out there."
        He stands up and we walk out of the room.
 

---------------------------------

        "OK, are we all ready?  And action."  The director yells
        Nick and I are retaping the scene where he steals the ball from me.  This time we do it right and he makes the shot.
        "Ah man, that was cheap."  I say laughing
       Everyone gets up off the court and give us high fives.  Then I walk over to Nick and give him a hug.
        "Whose hungry?"  Kevin says
        We all yell, "I am"
        So we all go over to a big picnic table and start to get food out of a basket.  After we're done eating we all lay down on blankets, and talk for an hour for a while.
        Then Brian says, "I'm hot.  Who wants to go swimming?"
        All of the guys yell, "YES!!!"
        Sarah and I look at each other and shake our heads.
        "We don't have any clothes."  She says
        "That doesn't matter, it's still fun.  Come on."  Brian says as he pushes her into the river.
        "AAHHHH!" she screams as she splashes into the water.
        "I am not getting in there."  I say
        Just then Brian, Nick, and AJ start running for me.  With AJ in the lead.
        I scream and start running.  Just as I think I'm going to make it to the car, AJ grabs me around the waist and picks me up.
        I start kicking and screaming.  He starts running for the river.
        "No!!!!   Please AJ NO!"  I yell as I laugh.
        AJ stop near the deep edge of the river.
        "Can you swim?"  AJ asks me
        "If I say no will you let me down?"  I ask
        AJ says, "No I'll just do this."  And he jumps into the river with me in his arms.
        We resurface and he asks me, "Can you swim?"
        "Yes" I say.  Then he lets go of me.
        We swim over to the others and we swim and play chicken.
        "Cut!"  the director yells
        "Sorry we had to make you guys come to a real park.  I'm sure you hated it."  The director says with a smile.  Then he says, "Well that's probably all we'll do today, so you guys can keep swimming if you want."   So for the rest of the day we swam and goofed around.
 

-------------------------------------

(We get back to the studio after dark)

 
        "Sarah, can I talk to you."  AJ asks
        "Sure, what about?"  She says
        "Why...why doesn't...I mean why did she...why doesn't she love me?  I don't see any other way to show her I love her."  AJ says sadly
        "Well, I talked to her and well...she might come around.  It's just, she's had very bad experience with people and it's just that...she's scared. I know you wouldn't hurt her, but she's just living off experience.  I'm sorry."  Sarah explains
        AJ looks at her and says, "It's just that I can't see my life without her in it.  She means everything to me."
        "I know, and I'm pretty sure she knows too."  Sarah says
        The director interrupts them and yells to everyone, "OK tomorrow at the same time.  Our next scene takes place at your school.  Here's the script read over it tonight."  The director passes the scripts out to everyone.

-------------------------------------

(Later that night at the apartment)

        "Ummm...Suzy, have you gotten to page ten yet?"  Sarah asks
        "No, I'm on page seven.  Why?"  I ask
        "You might want to take a look at it." She says throwing her script at me.
        As I read my eyes get big.  The script was leading up to a scene that I hadn't thought about.
        "Oh my gosh!"  I yell
