Jess slowly opened the door to the new greenroom and turned on the light, ensuring no one was in there before carefully walking around the tools and storage boxes lying around to get to the bathroom.
Her phone rang-her coworker again alerting her to the time as she answered.
"Hey Trace, can I call you back when I'm out of the shower?"
"Yeah, just wanted to let you know your start time got pushed back, so you've got about 45 minutes before you have to be in Studio C. I'll come get you when I'm on my way down there."
"Oh awesome, thanks for letting me know. I'll see you in a bit"
"Okay. And Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Be careful", Tracy snickered.
"IT WAS ONE TIME!", Jess replied.
"Haha, bye, love ya!"
"Yeah, love you too", Jess said as she hung up.
She set up her shower and queued up her playlist again while mumbling to herself, "You slip and fall ONE TIME out of the whole 6 months you've been here and never get to live it down. Unbelievable."
10 minutes later she was out of the shower and back in front of the mirrored wall, actually taking the time to do her hair and makeup since she had a bit of extra time. It wasn't until she finished she realized her makeup was very emo-teenage Jess inspired, while her outfit was much more business casual and work appropriate. No doubt her playlist, which consisted heavily of Paramore, MCR, Coheed and Cambria, and Blink-182 to name a few, was to blame. She finished packing her bag back up and attempted to soften the look with her remaining few minutes.

Meanwhile the guys were also finishing up their hair and make up before their segment on the morning radio show began.
"Shit", Luke exclaimed as he bent down to pick up the eye shadow he'd just dropped. He quickly grabbed it from under the counter where his eyes landed on a black notebook lying on the ground a bit further under the counter. He grabbed it and placed it on the counter, noticing in the light that it had a small embossed engraving on the front, a small 'JLM' in the bottom right corner. Obviously not one of the boys' then. Just then Calum spotted it and asked what it was.
"I dunno. I found it under the counter", Luke said as he went to open it.
Calum quickly placed his hand on top, ensuring the notebook stayed closed. "Hold on now, you can't just be snooping through other peoples' stuff man."
"Do we know whose it is?", Michael asked, having overheard the conversation.
"Probably shower girl, she was throwing her stuff all over the place," Ashton laughed.
"Her name is Jess, and she wasn't just throwing her stuff around", Calum defended.
"Jess? Well this has 'JLM' on the front, so it could be hers yeah?", Luke stated as if he had just solved the world's biggest mystery. "Maybe there's a return address or something on the inside". He went to reach for it again.
"Chill out mate!", Calum exclaimed, maintaining his hold on the journal and sliding it slightly toward him. "When she posts that picture I'll message her about it."
"She hasn't posted it?", Luke asked.
"Maybe she won't. Then how're you supposed to get it back to her without opening it?", Michael asked.
Calum had been thinking the same thing before they even found the journal. He'd hoped she would tweet the photo so he'd have an excuse to interact with her some more. He had just assumed she'd want to share the experience and try to keep in contact.
