The next day, Wes wanted you, Ki Hong, Dexter, Will, and Rosa to come to the set early because him and the stunt coordinator wanted to practice the next scene.
Kelsey's death!
After Thomas leaves the scene with a gun at hand, Kelsey is hit in the stomach by a stray bullet. Minho, Frypan, Gally, and Brenda crowd around her. They say their final words to their friend before she takes her last breath.
Wes, the stunt coordinator, and the five of you went to the practice room and discussed how the whole thing will work. After Wes felt like it looked good enough, everyone else came to the set and got ready for this next death scene. You went to the makeup trailer and the artist showed you how the fake blood will spread on your shirt when Kelsey gets shot.
Thomas came in to get his Crank makeup on because Newt is still laying there when Kelsey gets hit. After you left, you went onto YouTube to look up videos on how to you make yourself cry. You found one that really worked. Tears were trickling down your face like a waterfall. You walked up to Dylan, Ki Hong, Dexter, Will, and Rosa. Then, Thomas came in, in full blown Crank mode.
"Action!" Wes called. Everyone was now in character.
Thomas and Kelsey just watched their friend die right in front of them. Kelsey lays Newt's head in her lap. Thomas just stares. Then, Brenda runs in. She realizes that she's too late. Thomas moves away from Newt, grabs the gun that he pulled out, and walks away from the scene.
Minho, Frypan, and Gally run in to see what had just happened. They can't believe what they're seeing. Newt dead on the ground and Kelsey crying uncontrollably.
The echo of a gunshot goes off near them.
Kelsey: (looks down at her stomach and sees blood coming through her shirt. She looks up at her friends) Help! (collapses, holding her bleeding stomach)
Minho, Frypan, Gally, and Brenda surround her. Minho and Brenda put pressure on her wound. Gally puts her head in his lap. Frypan stands over.
Brenda: Kelsey, no! Don't give up. We can't lose you too.
Minho: We can figure something out, tiger.
Kelsey: (between slow breaths) Guys, stop! There's nothing you can do now. I was going to die anyway. Just...let me go be with Newt, please. There's no cure for death.
The four of them exchange looks and realize that she's right.
Minho: (puts a hand on her shoulder) Go get him, tiger.
Kelsey: (holds up her necklace) Brenda, take this. Put my name on the back, then yours. That way you'll still have me.
Brenda: (rips the necklace off and holds back tears)
Kelsey: (looks up at Gally) Gally, thanks for giving me the chance to hold on as long as I could.
Gally: You're welcome.
Kelsey: Fry, make sure that no one goes hungry.
Frypan: No problem.
He looks over at Newt. His left arm is near Kelsey's right arm. Frypan reaches over to Newt, grabs his left wrist, and interlocks his hand with Kelsey's hand.
Kelsey: (feels Newt's touch) Thank you. Now, get out of this hellhole. (takes her last breath and is now lifeless)
Minho, Frypan, Gally, and Brenda take a second to remember their friends that they just lost.
"Cut!" Wes called.
You and Thomas revived. Wes came over and hugged you. He must've been proud of you. As sad as it is, that had to be one of the best/sad moments in the movie.
