Colt Seavers considers himself a pretty laid back man. He gets along well with a lot of people. Most people. It’s been a while, since his work with Tom, that he has had to deal with someone who really irked him. Then he met you, his fellow stunt double lead of a new action movie.
He thinks you’re cute, although he tries to convince himself otherwise. The first stunt he does for the movie is one with you and that’s what gets you all in trouble. You don’t like the careless attitude he has when it came to stunts and he mistakingly jokes that you should “take things more easily”, leading you, two, into endless arguments.
He’s watching from behind the cameras as you perform another stunt with a car. Your character’s involved in a car chase on a beach and you’re supposed to go barreling down the dock, only to stop right before the end of it.The stunt’s going great, you’re getting on the dock, and then—
“It won’t stop. The brakes won’t—!” You yell into your mic, before the car pummels into the water and disappears.
For a split second, everything seems to be going in slow motion. Colt looks up from the camera to the actual dock—and you’re just gone. His heart begins to hammer as it sets in what really has happened. He can't think before he’s sprinting off, along with the medics on the set and other professionals, who are on standby in case anything goes wrong. And it did go really, really wrong.
Finally, a man dives in, with swimming equipment, and after a tense minute, he emerges, carrying you.
Colt runs with the medics, unable to do much aside from stand there. One of the medics pounds on your chest, and when he sees that you aren’t breathing, he begins to feel like he can’t either. Colt snatches a blanket out of someone’s hands and kneels down beside you, begging for you silently to wake up.
After the second round of rescue breaths and CPR, you wake with a desperate gasp for air, for life. It’s the most beautiful sound Colt has ever heard. He wraps the blanket around your shoulders, helping you sit up.
