Adopted by Taylor Swift

Chapter 9

7/22/2018: at the beach
Taylor's P.o.v

Once we arrived at the beach, Elijah, Astrid, and I began to set up our umbrella and chairs on the beach. I stood there for a second, watching the waves rolled into the sand. Elijah and Astrid were sitting on the sand as they began building a sandcastle. "Do you guys want a hand building the sandcastle?" I asked them, "Yeah, we could use a hand." Elijah said chuckling.

I walked over to where they were sitting and began helping them build our sandcastle. After many minutes had passed, we finished building the sandcastle and I posted it on my instragram.

After I posted the sandcastle on Instagram, I suntanned while Elijah and Astrid were playing tag. I felt my phone vibrate and saw a notification, @harrystyles friended you. I opened Instagram and friended him back, before I dm'd him.

I turned off my phone before I went swimming with Elijah and Astrid. "Elijah. Don't you dare splash me." Astrid said, which caused Elijah to splash her, "How dare you!!" Astrid yelled at him, "I am so going to get you!!" She added. I saw an opportunity and splashed Astrid and Elijah before diving into the water. "Taylor!!" They both exclaimed as I rose to the surface. I quickly swam back towards our umbrella, and grabbed my paddleboard and began paddling.
