Taylor's POV

"Remember what today is Nat, you always like to be warned." I say.

Nat waves her arm as she walks towards the door, her head glued to her phone.

I sigh and shake my head as she gets closer to the door.

"I know I remember."

Natalie grabs her keys as she closes the door.

"It's secret sessi- she definitely didn't hear." I say shaking my head.

"Can't wait to see the face she'll have when she walks in. Or maybe just shoot her a text?" Jack says.

"Never in a million years. This I have to see later." I say. "It's what she gets for not paying attention to what I'm saying."

Natalie's POV

I walk into the house and I see a shit ton of teenagers. What the fuck.

"Uhh what?" I ask as I munch on my bagel.

"No fucking way! That's Natalie!" A girl yells and I continue to munch on my bagel.

Oh my god.

Oh. My. God.

"This is.. Oh god. This is secret sessions isn't it? I'm sorry I completely forgot. I'll be back later I don't wanna intrude more."

"Wait can she stay?" A girl asks and I smile.

"Uhhh no." I say shaking my head.

"Just stay Nat. I'm sure they won't mind." Taylor says and I let out a nervous laugh. "Would you guys mind?"

They all scream and I scream internally. I look down at my clothes. Now who the fuck let me go out with some sweats and a sweatshirt.

"Yeah stay Nat." Taylor says with a smile.

Son of a bitch. There's no way out of this.

"Yeah yeah of course I'll stay." I say with a smile.

I walk over to where Taylor is and sit in between her legs. I pull down her blanket to cover myself as I eat my bagel under the blanket.

"As many of you know this is my little sister, she actually helped me write some of the songs and helped me produce it. So without further ado. Reputation." Taylor says.

I place my bagel down as I rub my palms on my sweats.

Sweaty hands. Sweaty hands because a shit ton of people are about to listen to an album my sister created and that I helped produce.

Definitely no pressure. None.

"This first song is called Ready for it." Taylor says.

"They're definitely not ready for it." I mumble.

I watch as the people who filled the room were so in awe of what they were hearing. Their faces lighting up as they finally hear an album no one was expecting.

As it hits the 2 minute and 24 second mark of the first song they completely lose it, in my opinion it's also my favorite part of the song but don't blame me for that.

The camera crew pointing the camera at me in which I smile and wave. Pulling the blanket closer to me because I do not want to be here. Not that I don't enjoy this because I do but not when I forget, I'm also very unprepared.

"You know Taylor told you when you were walking out." Jack whispers and I furrow my eyebrows.

"No she didn't."

"Oh she definitely did." Jack says patting my back.

"Son of a bitch."

After everything is over Taylor gets up to take pictures with her fans. I get up and go sit on the couch as I throw peace signs to everyone as they wait for Taylor.

I hear a meow and I look down.

"I'm gonna call you Meredith because I think you're Meredith." I say as I help Meredith onto the couch. "You know I don't know why you meow so much in the middle of the night. Like please Meredith you need to calm down please."

The cat who is I'm assuming Meredith meows again as she crawls onto my lap.

"Whatever this is a one time thing. I'm never letting you lay on my lap again."

I continue to munch my bagel that I didn't have time to finish as I looked all around me.

I smile as I see Taylor's fans have a blast, enjoying themselves and meeting new people. It's adorable. I'm snapped out of my thoughts as someone talks to me.

"Can we take a picture with you?"

I look around me until I look back at the group of girls.

"Uh me?" I ask as I point to myself.

"Yes you, we're huge fans."

I rub the back of my neck as I look over to Taylor who makes eye contact with me. She smiles and nods.

"Um yeah sure but please don't post them until you know after Taylor releases the album." I say and they all nod.

I take a couple pictures with them and other people, some selfies and a few Polaroid pictures.

"Wait can I keep one?" I ask one of the girls who had the Polaroid camera. "It would um mean a lot to me to have one of them. It warms my heart to know people love my sisters music and that you guys actually listen to my music. I may not have a lot but you know."

"Don't be shy bubs." Taylor whispers as she squeezes my shoulder. "How about we all take a picture together?"

"Yeah that's a better idea." I say snapping my fingers.

A couple people get together as I stand next to Taylor. Once we take the picture and I have the Polaroid everyone starts heading out.

I sit back down on the couch as who once again I assume is Meredith lays on my lap as I look at the picture.

"Who would've thought you'd become famous. The one who didn't want to be and now is. Creating music and being her bright bubbly and shy self. Who would've thought huh." Taylor says with a smiles as she passes by behind me and ruffles my hair.

"Yeah. Who would've thought."
