To start our lesson, Sean takes me into the shallow end. Its 3ft but I heard you could drown in at least 20 inches of water. I start to freak out; maybe this wasn't a good idea.

"You know what Sean? Never mind, I don't wanna learn"

"What are you talking about? We didn't even start swimming yet. You're just standing in water."

"Yeah, I know but I'm scared." He pulls me in real close to his body. I can feel his warmth radiating from his toned chest.

"What are you scared of? You have nothing to be afraid of if you're with me" He devilishly grins

"I'm scared that I'll drown again. It was very scary"

"Don't think like that, just concentrate on floating. Swimming is supposed to be fun. Make it fun." He takes my hand and walks to the edge of the shallow end. My toes hang off the edge and it freaks me out. Sean notices and grabs my waist but stands next to me. I can't get out of his grasp.

"Alright first," he says "I'm going to teach you how to float on your back, than your stomach. Once you get the hang of staying afloat, you can add your legs than arms. You'll start moving from there."

Sean tells me to lay on my back and kick my legs as if I was riding a bike. He grabs hold of my back to keep me steady and I start to get the hang of it. I feel safe and secure in Sean's arms. I know I'm not supposed to feel like that, since we are going to be held in an arena in less than a week but I do.

He then tells me that its time to float on my stomach. I kick my legs again slowly as if I was riding a bike. "Alright, now kick your legs a little faster, and hold your arms out."

I do as I'm told and ask "Like this?"

"Perfect. Now start paddling your arms like your legs. You should start moving forward."

I add my arms and Sean is right! I'm moving forward, and I'm in the deep end! I'm in the… DEEP END? I start freaking out again. I scream for Sean "Sean, help! Help! I can't do this! I'm drowning!"

I go under the water but I can't find the surface. I'm trapped, I can't get out. My surroundings are starting to get blurry, I can't hold on any more, Where's Sean? I stop kicking my legs, I feel like I'm going to faint. I feel something lifting me up, I'm so light-headed. I'm starting to lose consciousness but Sean pulls me out of the pool. I don't know what happened next, everything goes dark.

I wake up in my bed with Liz at my side, I jolt right up.

"What time is it?" I ask

"It's 12:45 why?"

"I have to meet my stylist in 15 minutes!" I start to get up but Liz pushes me back down.

"Calm down, you have time. Rest your head" She puts a towel on my forehead, I feel sick.

"What happened?"

"Um, well you were swimming fine, pretty well actually but then you started flipping out. You stopped swimming and sunk all the way to the bottom of the pool. It took Sean a while to get you but when he grabbed hold of you, he pulled you up and out of the pool. He went beside you and started giving you CPR. He saved your life…"

"He saved my life?" Great, now I owe him. I hate returning favors.

"Yeah. You were lucky that he is a lifeguard. What happened out there? Why did you stop swimming?"

"I don't know. I freaked out. I thought of my mother and got so self-conscious of the water, I stopped swimming. I feel bad now"

"Don't feel bad. As long as you're ok, it's fine. Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, much better. Thanks, where is Sean?"

"Talking with Julius, probably waiting for you so you three can go meet your stylists."

"Let's get going. Can you help me up?"

"Sure." Liz grabs my hand and pulls me up. She helps me walk over to the elevator where Sean and Julius seem to be in a deep conversation. Once I'm in view of them, they stop talking. Julius says,

"Now that you're here, we can get going!" He pushes me and Sean in the elevator and then we're off.
