About half an hour later Justin called Chaz up to take him to his place to shower and change before he went back to Lexi’s place. I stayed around the apartment a little longer until I decided it was time to go back to the studio and try to get back on schedule, but I knew that would take weeks if not months. I sighed and decided to dress in cooler clothes so I won’t die of heat stroke, even though the studio get air-conditioning it can still get hot in the place. I looked through my wardrobe until I decided on dark blue Capri and a matching dark blue shirt with short sleeves, I put on my white and blue Jordans’ before I snatched my purse and keys and hurrying out to Cindie.

At the Studio…

          I parked Cindie then slung my purse onto my shoulder, I hurried inside where I found the majority of my co-workers; Connor came up to me handed me a mega-phone while in return I shoved my purse in his hands, I switched the mega-phone on to get everyone’s attention. “Listen up everyone, the majority of you who are here can pass it on to those who aren’t present. We’re super behind on schedule, we have to pick up the pace. Which means, yes we have to work overtime for the next however long it takes to get back on track. I don’t like it anymore than you do.” I added the last part when I heard the groans. “But once back on track, we can go back to our normal eight hour schedule. Danny, my man, where do we stand?” I directed my attention to my photographer, Danny adjusted the camera slung around his neck.

          “Uh, while you were gone the last couple of days we moved on with the photo shoot. So we have photos you need to look at and see if they’re what you want.”

          “Great, let’s keep moving on with the photo shoot and I’ll look through all of them tonight on my own time. Everyone you know the drill, wardrobe then make-up trailer. Wardrobe, make-up trailer. Let’s get moving!” Everyone scattered going their own way, doing their jobs; I shut off the mega-phone and reached a hand out to Connor, he handed me my purse back then scurried off. I sighed and headed to my office, I set my purse on my desk and transferred my keys for my phone; I shed the jacket I threw on before leaving the apartment this morning then turned and marched back out. I made my way to Danny as he prepped his equipment for another long day of photo shoot. “Where do we stand at?” I asked, Danny knew what I meant and knew what details I wanted.

          “We just finished Seth and Lindsey’s first dance pictures, we’re moving on from there.” 

        "Okay good, I want to get as much done today as we can. We can't afford to get behind, it'll screw up everything."

        "You got it boss." Danny said, BooBoo and Victoria came up then; I started to zone out as Danny was giving both actors instructions on what pose he wanted, I should be giving my input but my mind wasn't even on the shoot. It wasn't on work like it should have been, it was on what had happened the past few days; the things that have happened shouldn't have happened, why must my life be so damn difficult? It wouldn't have happened if you had stayed away from Lane like everyone told you to, a voice in my head scolded me. And yeah, I should have listened to my mom, Alexis, Caleb, my friends— heck, I should have listened to everyone who knew about me and what Lane had done behind my back. But I was young and stupid back then, Danny’s voice brought me out of the past for a moment; but then I realized something, I had to face my past soon or later. “Boss? Boss, did you hear me?” Danny asked, my head whipped to his slightly concern face.

          “Uh, sorry Danny. Uhm, what did you say?” I asked, I shook my head to clear it as I gripped my phone slightly tighter.

          “I said is this pose good? For when Seth takes Lindsey home and kisses her good night?” I glanced up to see BooBoo swing his face back to stare at Victoria, his gaze held love, adoration, and a slight bit of lust.
