charlotte mae is the daughter of taylor swift and lucas till. taylor hid her daughter from the public for en extensive period of time as she didn't want her being a young mom affect how people thought of her.
now, charlotte is 16 and lives with her...
i'm in math class right now basically waiting for the day to be over because my moms Eras Tour starts tomorrow and i am so excited.
my best friend, emma, and i sit in the back and we keep laughing at a random tiktok.
"girls, keep it down, we are learning a lesson." my teacher speaks out and everyone turns to us.
"sorry." i say quietly and we look down and go back to what we were watching. we start laughing again at my phone and out of no where my teacher, mrs. smith, comes over and snatches it from my hands.
"now you're not getting this back." she snaps. what the fuck? is she being serious right now?
"what do you mean?" i respond
"a parent is going to have to come pick this up after school." well shit, that's not going to go over well. i get really quiet for the rest of class and just do my work. i've never really tried in school, i just always get A's, it's just easy to me. Emma and i continue to sit quiet for the rest of class until it's over. there's only one class left, english. it's my favorite class, but i'm just pissed that mrs smith is going to call my mom.
i'm sitting through english with my friends and my mom texts me
are you kidding me charlotte? i have to leave the studio to go get your fucking phone? tour starts tomorrow and i'm running around like crazy and i have to stop everything to come save your ass?
shit, shes definitely mad. i'm just not even responding.
we are doing our work in english when my teacher gets a phone call and answers it from the room phone
"charlotte, you are wanted in the office when the bell rings." o my god this is going to be so awkward
"ok." i mumble and get back to work. we are writing responses for the book we are reading.
after class, i walk down to the office and see my mom with the principal standing there.
"hi charlotte, i already talked to your mom, and i know you're a great student and a good kid. just try to stay off your phone in class." he says
"ok thanks." i say quietly and my mom and i walk out of the office to the lobby. it's so awkward, i know my mom is gonna yell at me.
"well i'm gonna head home." i say awkwardly
"straight home." she says sternly
"i know." i groan and head out to the junior parking lot while my mom goes out to the visitor lot.
i got my dream car for my 16th birthday and i'm obsessed with it.

i get in the car and i'm so frustrated and i know for a fact when i get home i'm gonna be in so much trouble. my mom always says how important school is and she's pissed that school didn't have my complete undivided attention, like when does it ever? shes so aggravating sometimes. i didn't get in trouble or anything with school so why does she care? and it's also so annoying that one person can stress so to me so much about schools importance, but that same person is always pulling me out for us to go somewhere.
i live about 20 minutes from school and this was probably one of the longest drives as i was dreading getting home. my mom never really gets mad at me, but i know she will which is gonna suck and ruin the night tonight.
i finally pull in through the gates, but i don't know which car my mom took today so i can't tell if she is home or not. there are around 6 random cars here and that's definitely people here because tour starts tomorrow, i'm so excited. i'm bringing my friend group, so 5 of us.
i slowly walk in and go right up to my room and try to avoid everyone. i sit down at my desk and start my homework. i turn my music on my tv and open my big windows to create a good atmosphere. around 20 minutes later there's a small knock on my door and it cracks open and my mom is standing there.
"so you wanna tell me why i had to come get your phone from the school today?" she snaps quickly
"mom, it wasn't my fault. emma and i were watching something and my teacher got mad." i explain
"why weren't you focusing in class?" she snaps again. god damn.
"i was done with everything! jesus christ you need to calm down." i snap back at her with full attitude. right as the words left my mouth i regretted it.
"calm down? do you honestly know how embarrassing it was to have go down there?" she raises her voice
"well i'm sorry i'm such an embarrassment to your perfect self, we all can't be you! god, do you have any idea how stressful it is being your daughter!" i scream right at her and storm out my room
"charlotte wait, i didn't mean it like that." she says as i stride down the hallway towards the stairs
"oh, but you did." i say as i quickly go down the stairs
"no i didn't can we please just talk this out?" she pleads while i grab my keys by the door and head out slamming the door behind me.
i get in my car and drive out. i call emma and ask her if i could come over and she says yes so i head over there
taylor
for what feels like the first time ever, i do not know how i exactly feel. i beyond pissed at charlotte for the shit she did at school, but now i am worried about her. that last thing i want her to do while she is upset is get behind the wheel of a car. she can get hurt or hurt someone else. i just wanted to talk it out with her and i understand i probably got a little dramatic, but why did she blow it so out of proportion so quickly? i am just so stressed with your starting literally tomorrow that i think i got more mad at her than i should've and i started something.
i decide to go back upstairs into my bedroom to take a breather and call charlotte. straight to voicemail, so any worried mom, i check her location and see she's driving. ok so she's not in a ditch. i then call my mom and she picks up right away
"hey, what's up?" she answers cheerfully
"mom, charlotte and i got into a big fight and she just left and i don't really know what to do. i'm really stressed about your starting tomorrow but she's really mad at me and-" i start to rant on the phone
"taylor you need to calm down." my mom stresses to me as i sit on my bed looking out the big windows and i take a deep breath
"ok now you need to remember how many fights we got into and you would do the same thing run away and avoid the problem like she is doing. why are you so upset though, you guys fight all the time?" she says and i get calm
"i know, but i'm just so stressed about tour and i just said stuff i regret." i spill
"taylor, what did you say?" she asks nervously and i take a deep breath
"well she got into trouble at school and i had to leave the studio and what i was doing to go pick up her phone and i got mad about that because i was super busy and i lashed out at her and said i was embarrassed that i had to go up to her school and she got really upset." i explain shamefully
"oh taylor." she sighs in disappointment making me ashamed of myself
"mom, i know. now what do i do?" i ask pleading through the phone
"that's not for me to tell you darling. i can advise you to relax and not worry about her. she will come back, give her the space she wants. and for you, go work on your stuff for tour." she tells me
"ok, thank you mom" i say and we exchange goodbyes and hang up. i take one more deep breath and go back downstairs to everyone and we do our last touches to get ready for tomorrow.
