(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)
-------------------------------------
(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
