"Action!" the director yelled. The scene started with the guys running through a short obstacle course. They were racing to get to their co-star, Katie, to tell her some news. Katie was relaxing by the pool, chatting with Erin and Katelyn, as they were waiting for their cues. The director pointed to them to let them now it was time. They repositioned themselves, picked up what props they needed off the floor and started their lines of idle chit-chat. The guys came running through the lobby and to the pool. Upon hearing the commotion the girls turned in time to see the guys fly through the doors, and avoid crashing into the extras before crowding around the girls. Between all the commotion of all the guys talking at once, all that could be heard was Katie's name.
"Hold it!" she said loudly. "One at a time. What is going on?"
"Gustavo wants to record a demo with you!" The guys said together.
Katie jumped out of her chair, avoiding getting caught, as rehearsed. Although a little to close to the edge of the pool, she moved back as they continued the scene.
"Are you serious! Oh my god, this is amazing! Ahh!" She screamed.
The guys embraced her in a group hug and congratulated her, Erin and Katelyn joined in too, happy for their friend.
"Come on, let's go to Roque Records and tell him you except!" James said happily.
The other guys agreed and raced off before Katelyn called out to them.
"Wait!" The guys stopped and turned in their tracks. "You need Katie." She said as she motioned to her. Katie stood there with her arms open. The guys raced back and picked her up and began to carry her to Roque Records.
Kendall tripped causing an imbalance with everyone else. The guys tried to stay stable but Carlos fell, pushing into Logan. Katie began to fall head first. James was the only one with a firm grip on her. He tried to stop her from falling but was only unable to before he lost his grip and she ended up in the pool. He followed her down to the pool, to watch her. Carlos slid to the edge after seeing her drop in. The pool is shallow only about four and a half feet deep but that is why there was concern after a head first plunge. There was a large enough splash to create a big enough disturbance to distort the water for quite a few seconds.
The four guys stared into the water waiting for any movement, they called out to her as she fell. Logan almost immediately jumped in. It took Katie only a few seconds to gain balance and a sense of "up" in the water and to resurface after what seemed like minutes. Logan guided her up and James had a hand on her shirt pulling her up by the collar. As soon as she surfaced, she was surrounded by co-stars and staff all asking if she was alright concerned she may have hit her head on the fall.
"I'm fine. Just wet." she laughed off. She reached out to the side of the pool to hike herself out of the water. James and Kendall grabbed her as she was half out of the water and pulled her up the rest of the way. Logan guided her out and then jumped out himself. Carlos met her with a towel and wrapped it around her before a staff member led her away to be checked out by on-scene paramedics.
"Ok, well that scene didn't go to well, so we will shoot it again as soon as Katie is cleared. For right now, Logan get changed, everyone else take a 10 minute break. We're going right back to shooting afterwards. We're on a tight schedule, we're behind a little and I want to catch up or get ahead if possible. We'll shoot a new scene if we have to. I want to keep shooting for as long as we can." The director instructed. Everyone went off to prepare for the next shooting session.
