Grace's POV:
I already like Måns tho. He seems to be a nice guy. "Are you exited for your time here?" "Oh gosh and how I am". I still can't believe that I met the person I admired for so long. "GRACE!". I saw Melanie,who is the reason I'm here today. I ran up to her and hugged her. "God,you're finally here..Oh and you alread met our hottest representer for this year?". Måns laughed and I started blushing a little. "Okay,let me show you were you guys are sleeping". She took us to a little hotel,which was next to arena. "So Måns you are sleeping in room 210 and you Grace in 209". Me and Måns looked at eachother and started laughing hystericly. I took my luggage and went up to my room.

I opened the door and was blown away

I opened the door and was blown away. This room was so beautiful. There was a big window,where you could see whole Vienna from. It had a big bed, a little table and a TV. I packed my things out and got a message from Melanie.
Melanie 16:15 p.m
Hi sweetie.We are ready for rehearseals.You can come up :)
I put my hair into a bun and walked to the arena.I'm so happy to be here. "You are Grace Havering,aren't you?". I turned around. "Yes,I am". "Hi,I'm Jacob and I'm the official producer". "Nice to meet you,Jacob". He smiled. I walked up to the representers from Belgium(Loic Nottet), Germany(Ann-Sophie) and Russia(Polina Gagarina). "Hi guys! I'm Grace Havering and I'm gonna help you out for 2 months". They all looked at me. "Did I said anything wrong?". They all started laughing and hugged me in a big circle. "Aww,everyone is so sweet here!" I smiled. "Okay guys! We are going to start" screamed Jacob from the stage. "Wait, Måns is missing" said Maria from Greece. Right,where was he? "Doesn't matter.We are going to start anyways". I was kinda dissapointed in Måns. What? What am I saying? I don't even know him so I don't care right? Then we started rehearsing..

2 hours later:
Måns didn't appeared at the rehearseals. I'm kinda scared. Should I go search for him? I'm walking down the arena to the hotel. "Great rehearseals today" screamed Melanie. I smiled and got in. I got close to Måns room and heard someone crying. "Måns?" I wispered. "Leave". "No,I wanna help you". He opened the door. My god,he cried a lot. "Måns,why..". He hugged me and started sobbing. "Pssht.It's okay.I'm here". I pulled him away and wiped away the tears from his face. "What happened?". "I remembered my horrible childhood.I got bullied and..". He started sobbing again. "Hey,it's okay". We hugged and let me tell you,this was the warmest,most loving hug I've ever received. "I'm so happy,that you're here". Måns wispered in my ear. I suddenly heard a voice in my head..Don't fall in love again. It's a mistake. You'll be just a girl he slept with. He is just gonna use you..I pulled him away. "You look very tired. We should go down and drink something". He took a breath. "Okay". We went down and bought us a coffee. "Isn't your song called 'Heroes'? ". He nodded. "Show that the audience. Don't get sidetracked by the past". He smiled. "You are so inspirational". I saw Aminata(Latvia) walking straight to us. "Hey,what happened? You weren't at rehearseals today". Måns looked at me. "I was just tired. Everything's okay". She smiled,hugged me and went up to her room. We drank out our coffee and went up to our rooms. "It'll be alright" I said to Måns.He smiled and we hugged. God,he smelt so good and was so warm and ugh..I closed my door and looked at my phone. I got 2 messages.

G: Thank you.I miss you.
J: Aww,I miss you too and Grace?
G: Yeah?
J: Follow your heart.

She hung up.If it would be that easy to follow my heart..It was 19 p.m. I took my clothes off and took a shower. I dried my hair and layed down on my bed.

Måns POV:
I can't get her off my mind.I just know her for one day and something happend to me.My heart skipped a beat as she hugged me when she saw me crying today.I felt loved again.It sounds dumb but it's true.I looked out of the window.Vienna looks so beautiful at night.I layed down in my bed and closed my eyes.I hope that tomorrow is a better day..
