Reagn: Thank you so much. I didn't really mean to write it with the angst I just sit down and start writing half the time I will reread it and think OMG I wrote that!
C2: Thank you I will be getting to Kimberly's full story and hints of the sequel at the same time when I reveal who her mother is. The next chapter will be about the others and what is going through Kat's head.

Adam was the first to get to Kimberly. He kneeled down in front of her.
Kimberly can you hear me? Adam asked as Tom gently placed her head on his lap
She breathed out heavily still coughing up some water.
Good good girl. Just keep coughing up the water as much as you can. Zack coached as he stood behind Tom
Do you hurt anywhere? Adam asked
No. It's just a little hard to catch my breathe. Kimberly was gasping for air.
Good. She just needs some rest and she'll be fine in about an hour or so. Adam said
I'll take her to her trailer. Tom started to carefully picked her up.
Kimberly said
Why? What's wrong? Tommy asked
Nothing, I'm fine. Kimberly went to stand up to prove her point despite the fact Tommy's hand went on her shoulder as if to tell her not too.
See, can we please just finish the scene I mean there is only like five more minutes of filming that we need to do.
Kim you really should rest. Jason said as stood up.
No, let's just finish the scene I'm already wet and we're here so let's just finish this and that's the end of it.
the director said.
You sure? Tom asked
Kimberly rolled her eyes and gave him the look she would give to the younger kids if they were misbehaving.
CLEAR THE AREA! EVERYONE BACK TO YOUR MARKS. WE'RE PICKING IT UP! The director yelled so everyone could hear.
Tommy and the others walked just far enough away so they wouldn't be in the cameras way but close enough just incase.
I knew I didn't like William for a reason. Tommy said as watched Tom helping Kimberly back to the ground.
Tommy I'm sure he didn't do it on... Jason began but got cut off by the director yelling
QUIET IN BACKGROUND. COUNTING DOWN 5, 4, 3, 2, ACTION!
Star can you hear me? Tom asked as he continued to hold Kimberly close to him.
Ra... Ram? Kimberly asked softly as her eyes started to slowly open.
Yeah don't worry I'm here. Tom said as he gently pulled Kimberly into his arms holding her like a infant.
Once again voices rang through the wooded area. Tom looked up then back down at Kimberly as the camera got closer.
Ram, Star! What happened? Caleb asked as he entered the scene.
I don't know but we need to get her back to the base. Tom said as he carefully shifted Kimberly in Caleb's arms.
Lex can you take her back now, I'll catch up in a minute. Tom asked as he eyed Kimberly with a genuine worried look.
And CUT! That's a wrap on this location! The director yelled as cast and crew started clapping.
Caleb gently put Kimberly back on her feet but kept his arm around her waist.
Great scene you two. Kimberly go home and rest Raymond's order, he sent word and told me what happened. The police are at the housing interviewing people and will need to take your statement about last night. the director said as he was about ready to walk away.
Oh and Kimberly if something like this ever happens again and you show up for the shoot, I'll have the writers make you and Beth best friends. He said in all seriousness.
Tom joked he walked up and caught the tail end of the statement. Caleb laughed while pushing his long jet black hair into a ponytail.
Shut up. Kimberly said as she punched Caleb in the arm.
Ow! What the heck did I do?
Kimberly stated as she walked over to her friends and Kat.
I have to go back home to talk to the police. Kimberly told them
Why what happened? Tom asked as the other looked at Kimberly in shock none of them had known that anything had happened.
Long story, let me go change and I'll tell you on the way. Kimberly said as she headed to her trailer
Hey Kim, me and the guys have to get back to the studio. Rocky said as he put one arm around her shoulders giving her a half hug.
Try to rest. Adam said as he followed Rocky to where they parked the cars
Girl me, you, your room and a lot of sugar tonight!
Sure Aisha. Kimberly laughed softly
We'll call you a bit later. Billy said as he dragged Zack from them. Zack waved good bye to her with a goofy smile on his face.
Kimberly laughed again and shook her head at the sight of one of her oldest friends reverting back to the age of six. Kimberly looked to her left to see Jason walking beside her a protective aura burning in his eyes. She then looked to her right and saw Tommy staring at her with the same goofy grin Zack had. She couldn't help herself and she started to laugh at him.
Tommy asked his goofy grin growing at the sight of her smiling a real smile for the first time since they had arrived.
You have the goofiest grin on your face. Kimberly laughed again
So what about it? Tommy asked instantly knowing what he had just let his mouth walk him into.
I've fought psychotic villains, robot commandos, and giant oozing monsters, but THAT is the scariest thing I have ever seen. Kimberly laughed as she gently pushed Tommy and took off running.
Tommy called out as he started to chase the running Kimberly.
He soon caught up with her. Grabbing her from behind by her waist and started to spin her around. Jason just stood back watching the two of them, it was hard for him to even picture them any other way than how they were right at that moment
Tommy stop! She giggled.
Not till you take that seriously weird comment back.
Kimberly giggled out
Tommy began to spin her faster. Finally Tommy stopped and she was finally able to put her feet back on the ground. Kimberly was about to take a step forward when she realized Tommy's arms were still holding her tightly around her waist. As soon as she realized this, she felt her body being hoisted into the air. Kimberly let out a small yelp, which caused Tommy to throw her over his shoulder and casually walk over to Jason who was laughing so hard he thought he was going to cry.
Thomas Oliver, put me down right now. Her attempt at a demanding tone had turned into a shocked yelp, when he abruptly flipped her from where she was thrown over his shoulder and back onto the ground in front of her trailer.
At least you didn't use my middle name or else I would be in major trouble. Tommy joked
I would have if I could remember it. Kimberly muttered under her breath.
Kimberly tried hard to remember it but she was tired from everything that had happened in the course of the past 36 hours and her brain just stopped working.
Kimberly can we talk? William asked from where he had been standing for the last few minutes watching Kimberly and Tommy.
"Uh.. Sure. Kimberly answered softly.
In private? William asked looking at Tommy and Jason who both stood slightly in front of Kimberly.
For now this is as private as you're going to get with her. Jason growled.
It's okay you guys wait for me in my trailer. Kimberly said as she stepped between the two so she was now standing in front of them.
We won't be far away. Jason said as he and Tommy reluctantly walked up the steps and inside the trailer.
Once inside Tommy slide the window beside the door slightly open so they could hear everything going on outside.
What's up? Kimberly asked even though she already had a sinking feeling about what William wanted to talk about.
I thought you didn't have time for all of this. William said as he sat on the top step leading to Kimberly's trailer.
Kimberly let out a deep sigh and stepped on the first step and then sat down with William on the top step.
Yeah I said that but with Tommy it's different.
Different how? What are you thinking? William hissed out.
I don't want to tell you what I'm think, cause it's not the same thing you're thinking.
Stop with the riddles and the metaphorical speaking and just tell me. William said his frustration showing.
William what do you know about me? Kimberly asked softly.
I know a lot about you Kimberly, but most of all I know I love you and you would love me too if we just had one more chance.
William tell me, how do I like my coffee? What was the name of my first car? Tell me something, anything about me that you can't find out on the internet or by looking at the interviews I did after the Pan Global's.
Kim I know I haven't been the best at listening, but all we need is some more time...
No William no more time. You never listened to me you would rather make out than have a real conversation. I don't have time for you. Kimberly said cutting William off mid-sentence.
But you have time for Tommy?
No I don't but... Kimberly took a deep breath and grabbed William's hand.
This is going to hurt but it seems to be the only way to get through to you. You are little a five year old when it comes to me, if you don't have my full and undivided attention you usually find a way to get it, usually by trying to make out with me. Tommy on the other hand doesn't mind only seeing me 20 minutes a week. He doesn't mind being pushed down on my priority list because he knows that I will always be there for him. When I was training for the Pan Global try outs he learned how to become my spotter just to spend time with me, even though I was working the whole time he was able to enjoy just being there with and for me. You need someone who will be there for you 24/7 and I need someone that knows what matters most. I'm so sorry. Kimberly finished she hated herself she had never been so cruel in her life.
Save it for someone who cares. William whispered as he threw Kimberly's hand off his then walked away.
William Stop! Kimberly called out she hated how their talk went and wanted to make it better.
Jason shouted as he threw the door open half expecting to see William on top of Kimberly, but was relieved to see him walking away.
Kimberly you okay? Jason asked as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
She whispered
Come on let's get you home. Jason said as he and Kimberly walked into her trailer.
