I wait on the side of the stage watching the guys rock out and make funny faces to their fans. When there done the curtain goes down and I walk up to them and pull a makeup wipe out of my carry-on bag and hand it to Luke.
“Here you go. I thought you would want to be the first one to take your makeup off.” I say and he rubs up and down on his face quickly.
“Wow you really hate makeup.” I laugh
“Yes very much.” He tells me
I walk over to Ashton, Calum, and Michael to hand them makeup wipes. Once there done wiping there faces I speak “You guys ready to go eat?” I ask and they all nod

5sos’s driver drove us to a restaurant that wasn’t that far from the hotel so I told him that he could just go home.
We take a seat in a booth and I order a salad and the guys order there favorites. After what felt like forever our food finally came and I chowed down on my salad.
“Ugg how can you eat that?” Michael asks in disgust
“Well it’s one of the few things I can eat since I’m a vegetarian. How can you eat that?” I ask pointing to his hamburger in front of him scrunching my nose and I laugh.
“Oh don’t tell me your that kind of vegetarian.” Ashton says to me
“No I’m not I just don’t really like meat.” I explain then my phone goes off I look at it and groan.
“What’s wrong?” Ashton asks looking over my shoulder
“It’s from Capital Records. You have a press meeting tomorrow before we leave for America.” I look at my phone and it say it’s 8:00.
“Uh guys I’m going to go back to the hotel now I’m tired.” I say and get up and start to exit the restaurant.
“Hey what about you pay for dinner.” Ashton yells at me
“Sorry.” I smirk and leave before he can say anything else
I walk towards the hotel and look down at my phone and it says 8:05. Then suddenly I’m slammed against a brick wall. I look up and my head hurts I can’t recognize who this is because there wearing a hood. I start to scream but no one’s around. Then my assailant presses his lips against mine. He starts to pull my jacket down along with my shirt.
“Get off me! Help!” I scream then suddenly all the weight from them is lifted off me.
I hear a grunt and I see my assailant getting the crap kicked out of him by-by Ashton.
Ashton gets a few punches to the face and my assailant eventually runs off ut I can see the back of his neck he has a tattoo of a dragon.
Ashton walks up to me.
“Are you okay?” he asks me and puts a hand to my face.
“N-No I’m not.” I say and tears start to stream down my face.
----
Ashton practically holds me up the whole way to the hotel.
Once we enter the lobby I hear gasps and oh my’s by the people there. At first I think there doing it because of me but then I look up at Ashton’s face. He has a huge bruise on his cheek along with a small cut above it.
We make it to the elevator and it closes. I turn to him.
“I’m so sorry this is my entire fault.” I say and hold my forehead.
“No it’s not. None of this is your fault.” He tells me
“Then why do I feel so bad.” I say I put my hand to his face “I’m going to have to put some extra makeup on you before the press conference.” I sigh then I look in the reflection of the elevator door and see that my shirt is still pulled down and that my hair is half up and half down with my eye liner running down my cheeks. I pull my shirt up and wipe my eyes and let my hair fall. I notice Ashton staring at me again.
“What.” I ask weakly
“Nothing. It’s just you look fine.” He tells me and I give him a small smile.
The elevator dings and we get off. He walks me to my room and we stand outside the door. I look at the door and then at him.
“Could you please stay with me until I fall asleep? I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep alone.” I practically beg with tears rolling down my cheeks.
“Yeah it’s fine me and the guys room is right next door anyway.” He tells me and I open the door and walk into the dark room.
“I’m going to change in the bathroom.” I tell him and I walk into the bathroom.
I look in the mirror. I take one of my wipes and run it across my face. I peel off my clothes and replace it with a baggy t-shirt and shorts. I exit the bathroom and pad over to my suitcase and shove my clothes in it. Ashton is sitting on the bed looking at his hands. He looks up at me with a sad face.
“Cara do you want to talk about?” he asks me and I sit on the bed next to him but I don’t look at him I can’t so I stare at the chair across the room.
“Not really.” I tell him and scoot up to the pillow and lay down and he does the same and I flip the switch and the lamp goes off.
I feel him lay down and I slowly inch closer to him until I accidently touch my knee to his and he jumps.
“Sorry I just was trying not to fall off the bed.” I say and start to scoot away
“No it’s fine.” He tells me and faces me and I watch as his eyes slowly close and I do the same.
