Invisible String

Natalie's POV

Today is April 18, 2015. Today can change my life forever.

Again.

I walked back into the room as I sat next to Taylor as we wait patiently for the doctor to come back.

Taylor grabbed my hand as she intertwined our fingers. Her thumb stroking my hand.

I sighed as I looked down at our hands, squeezing her hand three times as a sign of I love you.

"You can't seem so gloomy now, don't worry too much." Andrea says with a smile.

"Mom you don't know what they can say. We don't know what it is." Taylor says and I nod in agreement.

"You don't either so take a deep breath, both of you. You two are my daughters." Andrea says.

I smile softly at her and I look back down.

This can't be happening again. I just know it already.

"Sorry to keep you waiting so long." The doctor says making me look up.

"Well?" I ask.

"Mrs. Swift here does indeed have cancer." He says.

I let go of Taylor's hand as I get up from the chair I was sitting on. I look at the people in the room and I clear my throat.

"Excuse me." I whisper as I walk out of the room.

It's all over again. Just like with my mom.

Cancer.

I slide down the wall as I get into a little ball.

Not again.

Tobin's POV

"Alex you're killing me." I groan as I let myself fall onto the bed.

"You seriously can't blame me for listening to this masterpiece called 1989. Don't blame me." Alex says.

Alex has been listening to the album nonstop for the past 6 months. Ever since it came out it's all we ever hear from her.

Taylor this and Taylor that.

Don't get me wrong I'm obsessed with it too but more low key. They definitely don't need to know about my obsession of Taylor Swift.

"I LOVE IT." Alex shouts as she jumps on the bed.

Such a teenager. She's definitely a 15 year old in a 25 year old body.

"Alex oh my goodness sit down already you're going to break the bed." I say as I throw at pillow at her.

Alex stops jumping on the bed as she gets down from the bed.

"What's she listening to this time?" Pinoe asks as she enters the room.

"What else do you think?" I say rolling my eyes.

"1989?" Pinoe asks and I nod. "Girl you need to calm down with the obsession with it. It's a great album, but I hear you blast Bad Blood every ten minutes after you cry over All Too Well."

"Bops." I whisper as I look down.

No one else says anything and I look up to see everyone in the room looking at me. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

"What?"

"We didn't know that you were a big Taylor Swift fan, that's all." Ash says and I scoff.

"Haters gonna hate. That's my motto."

"That's definitely not your motto." Pinoe says and I shrug.

"Bop."

"You did this to her Alex. She says bop to every single Taylor Swift song we mention." Ash says and I giggle.

"Shake it off Ash." I say with a proud nod and a smirk.

"Oh my god you're insane. You need some serious help Tobs." Ash says and I chuckle.

"I'm good. I have my chillness tank pretty filled up thanks."

"Alex you've officially corrupted Tobin." Megan says and I chuckle.

"What can I say. I love Taylor Swift."

"So do we but you're out of your god damn mind Tobin Powell Heath."

"Maybe I am maybe I'm not. The world will never know."

"Ladies let's go." Becky shouts from outside the room.

We all get up as we head out and into the buses. World Cup is soon and we're trying to get that third star after a devastating loss in the 2011 World Cup.

Something we never forget.

Natalie's POV

"Can I sit here?"

I look up and see Taylor. I nod as I scoot over. Taylor sits down next to me as she opens her legs and pats the space in between for me to sit in.

I jump over her leg as I sit in between her legs and I sigh.

"You wanna talk about it?" Taylor asks and I shake my head. "Do you want to talk to someone else to distract you?" I nod my head.

Taylor pulls her phone out and I hear the ringing for FaceTime.

"Hi Tay, hi Nat."

I look up and I smile.

"Hi Selena."

"Are you busy?" Taylor asks Selena.

"I'm with Justin."

"Hey what's up." I hear Justin say and I roll my eyes.

End the mother fucking call.

"Sorry we have to go bye. Love you Sel." I say and hang up.

"Still not a fan?" Taylor asks me and I shake my head.

"And I never will." I say with a huff.

"Just like you disapprove the guys I've been with." Taylor says and I shrug.

"I like to think I'm keeping you safe."

"You're younger than me."

"Okay and?"

"Bye five years."

"Again. And?" I ask.

"You're annoying."

"But you love me." I mumble as I place my head on her chest.

"I do. I love you." Taylor says as she plays with my hair. "Rest. We both need it."

"My eye bags look hot don't you think?" I ask with a yawn.

"Sleep."

I slowly start drifting asleep. My eyes slowly shutting. I yawn as I feel Tay move.

"She'll be okay right?" I ask.

"She'll be okay." Taylor says and with that I drifted asleep.

She'll be okay.
