Torn contact lens - what do I do?

So, I just got my contact lenses a week ago, and already one of them is torn. I was trying to take it out and couldn't get it to come off, so I pinched it just a little and let it fold in half. But I guess I was too rough with it, and now it has a small crack. I have a follow-up appointment on Monday. So what's going to happen now? This was the trial pair, but does that affect how much it'll cost to replace it? And what can I do in the future to prevent tearing? I'd be more careful when I'm taking them out, but I just can't seem to get them to detach from my eye without making them fold in half or bend weirdly. Thanks in advance.
