Alex's POV

"Loop." Hayley shouts.

"What's up?"

"There's a new article and some pictures of Natalie with a woman we've seen before." Hayley says.

Natalie Swift is seen with Elizabeth Olsen. The two have been spotted together for the past day. Yet to confirm what they are doing together. Possible reconciliation? Stay tuned.

"Honestly what if they get back together? They were cute together I have to admit that." Hayley says and I smile.

"What if Natalie and I were together?" I ask.

"I don't see it." Hayley says shaking her head.

I gasp as Tobin snorts and starts laughing.

"Yeah I don't see it either." Tobin says, I roll my eyes as I punch her arm.

"Oh! Oh! According to these articles, Nat should be back with Taylor on tour tomorrow? It says that Taylor stated the following quote 'my sister is handling some things and will be back with us tomorrow. She's doing great thank you.' Unquote. So how are we feeling?"

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, quickly pulling it out I see it's my lovely girlfriend.

"I have to get this."

I walk into my room, lay on the bed as I answer the call.

"Hey you."

"Hi baby, is this a good time to call? I can call later if you need me to." Nat rambles and I laugh.

"It's fine, I'm just with Tobin and another teammate. How are you doing? Is everything okay?"

"It's um, it's going I guess. There's really so much we can do about it. We're waiting for the DNA test to come back in and I have my witness for something."

"Witness? Witness for what?"

"I'd rather not say, but this case is apparently public since it's all over the news. I do however would like to say that you've been doing awesome! I try to keep up every now and then or I just go back and rewatch the highlights of your game. Go thorns!"

"Aren't you the cutest."

"I'd like to think so yes, Taylor says so too. Andrea says so too. I'm cute yes."

"I miss you so much, I haven't seen you in months." I sigh out.

"That's the price we get for having busy lives baby. BUT I promise after Taylor's tour I'll spend as much time as I can with you because I'm not busy, no album to release no tour, no nothing. I'm as busy as a baby who's only purpose is to eat poop and sleep."

"I think you're forgetting that you are Taylor's sister and like musician, I'm sure she has a lot planned."

"If you count vacationing then yes she does."

"I'm proud of you I hope you know that." I say softly through the phone.

"Thanks Al, I'm proud of you too. Always. I'm sorry I can't be with you as much as I wish I could be."

"It's not all you babe, we both have busy lives but I wouldn't trade it for the world. You're who I want, you are my lover forever and ever."

"Nat." I hear someone shout from the other side of the phone.

"I have to go, I'll call you when I can okay?"

"Okay."

"Baby?"

"Yes my love?"

"I love you."

"I love you too superstar." I say with a smile, a smile she can't see.

"That's my sister but you've got the right idea. Okay bye I love you."

"I love you dork."

That's my girlfriend.

I walk out the bedroom and back to the living room where Tobin and Hayley are bickering over something.

"What are you two doing?" I ask, my arms crossed as I see them hitting each other with pillows.

"Arguing." Tobin says.

"Yeah I can see that, but why?"

"She thinks she's Natalie's number one fan, when it's clearly me." Hayley says.

"Oh god." I groan as I shake my head.

Natalie's POV

"Elizabeth are you sure you would like to say this in court?" Lisa my lawyer asks.

"I mean yeah why wouldn't I want to, I know the truth and I know Natalie's past." Lizzie says, she reaches over and holds my hand. "Will it help? Hopefully."

"It'll be on record." Lisa says.

"Trust me Lizzie, you don't have to." I say.

"If it's out there then it's out there, but I won't fail you honey." Lizzie says with a soft smile.

"You know that means that she'll find out right?"

"If something comes up then it'll come up, I'm currently more worried about you than me."

"Well okay. Natalie, Elizabeth let's go get this statement. It'll definitely make something turn around in our case." Lisa says and I nod.

"I just need to let Taylor know."

"That's fine. Let's go." Lisa says.

Me: I won't make it back tomorrow. It'll probably take a few more days. Sorry. You know I'd rather be with you. Love you bubbles (: 💛

Annoying cat lover: Okay. Miss ya bubs. A bit devastated you won't be here but I understand. I love you. ❤️
