❝What if my world starts falling apart?
What if my fears take over my heart?
Would you still love me and all of my scars?
Or would you leave me alone in the dark?❞

My eyes were filled with fear as the woman continued to drag me closer to the office. I didn't realise how much her grip had loosened, until I felt a familiar pair of comforting arms wrapping around me and easily pulling me away from her. I looked up in confusion and disbelief at the tall blonde that was in front of me, practically shielding me from the woman. Taylor was standing directly in front of me, blocking the woman from getting to me, and she had a look on her face that I had never seen on her before: fury.

'Trunchbull' quickly turned around, and for a brief moment, her eyes widened in confusion of Taylor standing right in front of her. When we were 'greeted' at the door of the group home a minute ago, I don't even think she made eye contact with Taylor, her eyes just went straight to me as rage took over. So, to her, this looked as though Taylor Swift just randomly appeared in the group home, defending me. However, the confusion on her face was quickly replaced by anger once again as she remembered what she was previously doing.

"Oh, come on, I don't have time for this! You've brought her back, you're no longer needed here. You can go!" The woman argued in a loud voice, but Taylor looked like she didn't even care about the volume of her voice. She remained where she was, not moving away and not giving the woman any opportunity to continue dragging me into that office.

"I am not leaving until I know that she's safe. Why don't you tell me what you were going to do to her behind those doors, hm?" Taylor asked, raising her eyebrows as she backed up so she was closer to me.

"She needs to be taught a lesson. If you had kids would you not punish them if they snuck out of the house while you were asleep? And even so, this is none of your concern, ma'am-" She started, but Taylor interrupted her immediately as she she reached her arm out to me and pulled me into her side, protectively. I just stared at the ground in shock. Why was this happening? What was even happening? Taylor Swift is standing up for me.

"No, actually, it is my concern. Especially since i've been looking after her since yesterday because of the fact that she's scared to even be here. I know that you aren't her regular guardian. Or any of these kids' guardian for that matter. Therefore, I don't think you're in a position to be 'punishing' any of these kids. And if I had kids, I wouldn't be dragging them around like you just did to her." This was a side of Taylor I never expected to see. I didn't expect to see it on interviews, and certainly didn't expect to see it in person. It's especially not a side that I expected to see as a result of her defending me. She was stopping an adult from hurting me. Just why? That's my one question. It doesn't make it any less scary, but i've been expecting to get hurt by this woman ever since I agreed to Malakhi's plan of sneaking me out of the group home.
