---Chapter 4[Catch me in your arms

When they said we were going to be rehearsing A LOT, I didn't think that they meant as hardcore as we are.Today alone, we danced about 5 ½ hours straight. We got a lunch break at 1:15, and then danced until 5 that night. This is insane.

The next 2 weeks were just about the same. But once we got all 5 routines memorized, we started to jazz them up a little bit. We did little things, and before you knew it, we were ready to rehearse the scenes with the songs and dances in them.

We rehearsed the last scene the most. It was the scene that needed to be perfect, because it was the last thing the people saw of us. We worked our butts off these past two weeks though.

It got to be fun once we knew the moves and what we were actually doing. Soon enough, we got to singing the music while dancing, instead of just having it play in the background.

Dylan, Cole, and I had gotten really close. It was like we were related or something weird like that. Ashley and Brenda were really cool to hang out with too. I was having a blast.

My crush on Dylan was growing stronger too. I didn't realize it, until I got butterflies and got excited to do the kissing scene, or rehearse it. I tried not to make it too obvious though. I mean, that'd be embarrassing if everyone on set knew I was in love with Dylan.But I mean, who can help it? He's probably the most gorgeous thing on the face of the earth, and I get to kiss him. I mean, you kinda have to fall in love with him. Who wouldn't?

We probably rehearse the kissing scene everyday now. They won't let us kiss though, because they say that they need it to 'wow' them. So, we just get our faces really close together. But hey, I can't argue with it.

We're filming in front of a live audience. I just found out, and filming starts tomorrow. I'm really excited about it though. I hope I don't get nervous and choke during a dance number or something. We're filming the opening number and 3 scenes following tomorrow.

"Tapings are always really insane with a live audience. They're a lot of fun though. It should all go great." Dylan told me, while we were sitting on the floor of the studio, alone. We were just talking, and had decided to stay after rehearsal ended to work on our lifts.

I loved when we were alone, just sitting there talking. "I'm looking forward to it." I told him, laughing, locking our eyes together once again."Uhhmmm, we should work on the last scene. It needs to be perfect, with the big lift thing." He said, standing up, helping me up also.We walked to the middle of the dance floor of the studio, we locked eyes, and I stepped back about 4 feet from him. I ran, he caught me in his arms, and twirled me, just like the first time he had.

He dropped me slightly, having him hold me like a baby in his arms. It was just like we rehearsed it, right on touch. I guess he was feeling what I was feeling too. We both leaned in ---and right as our lips were about to touch for the first time----

"Hey, Dylan, dad called. We have to get home." Cole yelled from outside the door to the studio. We both let out a sigh, and then he put me down. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow for the taping, right?" He said to me, still very close to me.

"Yah, I'll be there." I said, smiling, with him running and getting his water bottle and cell phone. I can't believe that I'm falling in love with this guy. I can't stop thinking about him. I guess that this is what love is.
