Immediately I start screaming at the top of my lungs. Taking the warning, my sister comes running towards the bathroom asking, "Are you okay?" She's as scared as I am. My heart starts beating faster and I have difficulty breathing for a few seconds. "No I'm not, what the fuck is this?" 
"What's... what. the. hell. Who did this?" Eva asks and I lean against the wall, "Who do you think did this?" I say and she nods. "He's a psychopath. MUM!" She yells and my mother quickly comes walking in. "This is not normal, right?" my sister asks her and she shakes her head. "Definitely not. I'm going to get someone. Wait a minute." 
While my mother is gone I sit down on the floor and sigh. I've finally calmed down a little. "I can't believe this." I say and pull my phone out of my bag. Just now I see that I dropped it on the floor in shock. 
"What are you doing?" Eva asks. "Calling Ashton." I say. He needs to know about this. If I can't yell at Calum for doing this, Ashton can. Someone needs to get that boy to come to his senses. 

Before I can even unlock my phone she grabs the phone from my hand. 
"Don't do that. You're meeting him tomorrow and you wouldn't want him to worry, do you?"
That makes sense and I sigh. She's right. Eva places my phoneon the top shelf after taking a picture of the mirror. "Leave it there for the rest of the night and tomorrow morning. You would only want to call Ashton, or worse, Calum. So don't even think about it." 

Just when I'm about to stand up, my mom comes back with someone who is working for the hotel. I point at the mirror. "Do you know who did this?" I ask and the woman nods. "He said he knows you and I recognized him so I thought it was okay." she says and I'm sure I'm about to punch something. "No it was not! Why would you think that? But whatever, fine. Let's clean it up." I say and walk over to my bedroom. I change into a dress and go get my sister, who's sitting on the couch in the lobby.  
"Hey, do you want to go and explore the neighbourhood or something? I'm not really tired after all this." I say and she nods. "Sure, let's go!" 
We both stand up and we walk over to the little plaza in the centre of the city. It's not a very big place, so it's only a ten minute walk until we arrive. We both buy ourselves a cone of ice cream and sit down on a bench. It's already past ten, but I'm still not tired. 
My phone starts to buzz. I had completely forgotten to leave it at the hotel, and up until now I hadn't even noticed I had taken it with me. I see that it's Ashton calling me and I press the 'answer' button. It's already eleven at night, so I assume it's almost an hour since the concert ended. "Hey Ashton, how was your concert?" I say, happy to hear from him. But it's not Ashton who answers me. 

"Calum, what are you doing with Ashton's phone?"
