Chapter1:

James' P.O.V.

"Get in the car!" Emily shouted at me. With one last look at the Elite studio I listened. What other choice did I have? It didn't feel right leaving Michelle here, I knew it was wrong yet I still got in the car. I didn't know what else to do though. She was caught and most likely in deep trouble.

As we pulled out of the parking lot the only thought going through my head was that Riley was going to kill me. I had promised her I wouldn't let anything happen to Michelle, it was the reason I went on the trip in the first place. Now I was dead. Riley would never forgive me for this. I should never have let Michelle go back in to tape that video. I knew it was a bad idea. I should have at least gone with her. But no, I had to go and screw everything up.

I just leant back against the seat And closed my eyes as we drove on. I had really screwed up this time.

Riley's P.O.V.

It felt like forever as I sat at the counter of The Squeeze waiting for them to get back. A few moments later they walked in. I knew something was wrong right away. James was at the back avoiding my gaze.

I scanned the group once more and noticed that Michelle wasn't there. I hopped out of my chair and went up to Emily at the front of the group.

"Where's Michelle?" I asked.

"She got caught," she said giving me a smug smile.

"So what? You just left her there?" I asked incredulously. Out of the corner of my eye I saw James biting his knuckles nervously and cast him a venomous look. I trusted him. The whole purpose of him going along was so this kind of thing wouldn't happen.

"What good would it do us to all go down? Think sis," Emily said drawing my attention back to her. She just smirked at me, pushed past and walked off, followed by Stephanie and Tiffany.

I immediately turned to James.

"What happened? You were supposed to be protecting her!" I yelled.

"I know I'm sorry, but what did you expect me to do? She was caught if I had went in after her then I would have got caught too," he said.

"Well why did you let her go in the first place. Why did she go in alone anyways? I thought you were all going?"

"We did, but then Emily decided she wanted someone to go back in and take a video. I told her it was a bad idea, but then Michelle jumped in and volunteered to go. I volunteered right after her and Eldon volunteered right after me, but Emily just waved us off and sent Michelle. I know I should've gone after her. I'm sorry," he said giving me a quick look of apology.

I just nodded. I'd deal with him later.

"Well what should we do now?" I asked him.

"I don't know, what can we do?" he asked.

"I guess we can't really do anything but wait. I just hope she doesn't get into too much trouble," I said looking nervously towards the door.

"Well there's half an hour until rehearsal, you want to get a smoothie?" he asked reaching for my arm.

I backed away from him. Now was the chance to mess with him for what he did.

"Don't touch me," I said. "You're still in trouble for what you did."

He looked taken aback. I just smirked to myself.

"But you can start to make it up to me by buying me a smoothie," I said bumping against him as I walked back over to the counter. I heard him quickly come after me. Yeah, I'm definitely going to have some fun with this.

Michelle's P.O.V.

Shooting the video inside of Elite is terrifying. I just hope that this proves to Emily that I want to help the studio. I'm in the middle of shooting the video when my phone goes off. That's when they see me. Everybody turns and glares at me. They look mad.

"Hey you!" said their instructor pointing at me. "Get out here."

I slowly walk out there. This was the most terrifying moment of my life.
