Invisible String

Natalie's POV

"Before we get out, how much different is it from my perspective of famous." Alex asks as we head to the Staples Center.

"So amplify it like thirteen times." Taylor says, I shake my head knowing that would send Alex in panic. "It's different. You'll feel it as soon as we get out. There's a difference in the way they talk, approach, the overall tone is different. I'm not trying to scare you but it is different. The atmosphere, the environment is just so different from what you may think."

"So it's like super crazy?" Alex asks.

"Kind of. Screaming fans from the sidewalk. Reporters asking for interviews, photographers. Tree and Laura yelling at us to hurry up."

"Alright. That's enough Taylor." I say nodding, reaching over to grab her hand.

"She asked." Taylor says and I squeeze her hand.

"She didn't ask for you to scare her when we're about to get out."

"It's fine, it's fine really. I asked for a reason. I wanted to know. To try and prepare myself." Alex says.

"Well you better be ready, we're here." Taylor says as the car stops.

"You've gotten used to this right?" Alex asks us both as she looks out the window.

"I mean you kind of do at one point." Taylor says. "Right bubs?"

"It's true. At a certain point you kind of just do and kind of have to." I say.

"Tree and Laura are right outside. They're ready. If you need anything you let us know, and if we get pulled away you tell Tree or Laura to get you whatever you need." Taylor says.

"Tree and Laura will make sure you get whatever you need." I say as I grab onto her hand. "Are you ready?"

"Well there's no going back." Alex says with a nervous laugh.

I nod and signal Taylor that we're ready. I'm the first one to get out, screaming immediately fills my ears. I help Taylor get out first then help Alex.

Grammy's here we come.

"Please don't let go of my hand." Alex whispers. I squeeze her hand as we walk inside.

"Don't let go of mine either." Taylor says as she grabs onto my arm.

"Oh fun. Wonderful. I'm stuck with two clingy people."

I smile as we walk in.

Alex grips my hand as we walk further in. Even though she was smiling, I think she was starting to feel the intensity and the difference.

This is our first public appearance at an event. At the Grammy's. Some may this was not a good move. But here we are.

"They want you for an interview." Tree says as she walks with us.

"Which one of us?" I ask.

"All three of you." Laura says, I raise my eyebrows and nod. "Listen you don't have to do it, but they asked for the three of you. Alex if you don't want to do it that's okay too. We're not going to push you to do an interview this quick into your first public event with these two."

"It hasn't been a full month since you two revealed your relationship, well your marriage. We'd understand if this is a no, Alex it's your decision." Tree says.

"I'd like to be there I just don't think I'd want to answer any questions at this moment. Just walking this far inside I think I'm going to faint. This is so hectic. It's so much more than I imagined."
