Protecting Leah

Echoes of the Past

Taylor's P.O.V

I could hear her screaming from the kitchen, but when I entered her room, total and utter panic hit me like a ton of bricks. She was sprawled out on the floor of the apartment, her arm bent at a strange angle and she was screaming in pain. The moment she saw me she seemed to gulp and try to hold back the tears. "Leah baby, what hurts?" She pointed to her arm and I scooped her up and ran down the hallway, scooping up keys I sprinted to the elevator meeting Devon in the lobby he grabbed the keys and we sprinted towards the SUV that was outside. He drove as fast as legally possible to NY Hospital where Acute Admissions took Leah and I to a room, the doctor came in and took Leah for an x-ray but I knew it was broken. Leah never screamed. Sure she cried like with the Lego earlier but she never screamed like that. It was awful.

As I was waiting outside on a seat for her to come back a shadow cast over me and a raspy voice talked. "Fancy seeing Miss Taylor Swift sitting in a hospital," Glancing up to see my day get worse than before I see John Mayer standing there. "Oh hello John, yip just waiting in a hospital." John just grinned an evil grin that made me sick; thank god for the nurse's station about two metres away. "Or waiting just for me..." I looked into his eyes and all I could think about was the pain he inflicted upon me in every possible way three years prior. "Actually I'm waiting for someone very important so if you will excuse me..." "No Taylor you're not fucking excused. You think you can walk out on me again. You can't." I saw security raise themselves and then Devon came around the corner, John was gripping my arm tight and a quick glance to Devon and John removed his hand. "Actually John you don't deserve me. Not that it's any of your business but I'm waiting for my daughter to come back from an x-ray because she has a broken arm, now all she will want is her mommy to give her a huge hug and kiss and tell her that it's alright and she will get better. So let me go John and go back to Katy. God knows what she sees in you. But if you ever come near me or my daughter I will personally have you arrested for harassment." John physically walked backwards holding his hands high. "I'm sorry Taylor I didn't know you had a child. Congratulations the father is really lucky to have you. I'll leave you in peace now." With that John Mayer walked out of NY Hospital and out of Taylor Swift's heart and head forever he was no longer someone who had wronged her he was a lesson that she had learnt.
