Elijah's P.o.v

It has been nine days since we've been adopted by Taylor, and they've been the best nine days of my life. To be able to have Astrid as a sister and to be adopted by none other than Taylor Swift is incredible. In the past nine days me and Astrid have seen three of Taylor's concerts, gone shopping with Taylor, and have heard four songs from Taylor's upcoming album which she titled "Lover". Three days ago Taylor revealed us to her fans, she also revealed that she was our adoptive mom.

After Astrid and I ate breakfast, Taylor took us to her studio in her house, with Meredith and "Dibbles" (Olivia) following behind us. Taylor asked us if we could play any instruments which me and Astrid replied with "Yeah we can," before I added "I can play piano, and Astrid can play guitar." Astrid began strumming the guitar, and I began playing the piano. We began playing "I Knew You Were Trouble".


(Astrid)
Once upon a time
A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
You took a step back
Without me
Without me
Without me

(Elijah)

And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize
The blame is on me

(Both with Taylor)

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So, shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

(Astrid)

No apologies
He'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know
That he's the reason why
You're drowning
You're drowning
You're drowning
And I heard you moved on
From whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt
Is all I'll ever be
And now I see
Now I see
Now I see

(Elijah)

He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize
The joke is on me, hey

(Both with Taylor)

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (oh)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been, yeah
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh (yeah)
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

(Elijah)

And the saddest fear
Comes creepin' in
That you never loved me
Or her
Or anyone
Or anything
Yeah

(Taylor)

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (never been)
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (knew it right there)
So shame on me now (knew it right there)
Flew me to places I'd never been
(Ooh) now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble (oh)
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble

"You guys are definitely preforming on tour with me at some point." Taylor told me and Astrid, " "I'd love that" Astrid replied, "Maybe on the last concert of this tour you can preform with me." Taylor said, "Sure, I'll do it." Astrid said.

Taylor's P.o.v

After hearing Astrid sing "I Knew You Were Trouble", I knew that I wanted her to preform at one of my concerts with me. "You guys are definitely preforming on tour with me at some point." I tell Astrid and Elijah, "I'd love that." Astrid replied, "Maybe you can preform with me on the last concert of the tour." I tell Astrid, "Yeah, I'll do it.' Astrid said, which made me feel very happy.

"Is there anything you both want to do?" I ask them, "Could we go to the beach?" Elijah asked me, "Sure," I said, "Just get changed into your bathing suits." I say to them.

While they get changed I start thinking about my upcoming album "Lover". I know that "Cruel Summer", "The Man", "Cornelia Street", and "ME! (With Brendon Urie)" will be on "Lover". My thoughts are cut short when I hear Elijah and Astrid walking down the stairs from upstairs.

"Are you guys ready?" I asked them, "Yeah, we're ready." Elijah and Astrid replied, "OK, let's go." I said, before we walked over to the front door and exited our house. Once we exited our house, paparazzi showed up and started taking photos of us as we walked over and entered the black SUV. "Are you both excited?!" I asked them, "I am!" Astrid exclaimed, "I am too!" Elijah also exclaimed.

After twenty-five minutes of driving, we arrived at the beach.
