We finally get home. Michael, Calum and Luke are watching a football game - the other girls must've gone to bed.
'Hey,' the boys say as Ashton and I enter the room.
'Hi,' I say.
'You okay?' Says Luke.
'Yeah,' I say, 'we got mobbed on the way back, though.'
'This is getting slightly crazy,' says Calum.
'Yeah,' I reply. 'I'm gonna go see Holly,' I say to Ashton.
'Okay,' he replies, and we kiss quickly before I make my way upstairs.
Holly is lying in bed, but I think she's awake.
'Holly?' I say.
'Yeah?'
I flick on the light, and Holly blinks to help her eyes adjust.
'Do you have a cousin?'
'Yes...' Says Holly slowly, 'elaborate?'
I produce the slip of paper with Stormy's name on it and hold it out to Holly. 'Her name's Stormy. She must be somewhere around five foot, I think? Dark brown hair, blue eyes, glasses, must be thirteen or fourteen?'
'Yes!' Exclaims Holly, taking the paper from my hand. 'Oh, my god, I haven't spoken to Stormy in two years!'
'Well, you should call her in the morning,' I say, smiling.
