My Life As Taylor Swift's Sister

Chapter 4: Dates and Diognoses

"Ivy! Wake up!" Taylor yelled, shaking me.

"What" I groaned.

"We have to meet Kanye West in the studio in 20 minutes!"

"Shit! I forgot all about that!"

"Well, get up!"

I got up and got in the shower. When I got out, I wrapped up in a towel and walked into Taylor's room. I opened her closet and took her high-waisted, black, daisy skirt and off-white crop top. I went back to my room and put it on.

Did you take one of my outfits, Ivy?" Taylor yelled from her room.

"Yeah, why?"

"I was going to wear that."

"Whoops."

"Fine. I'll take one of yours." Taylor rushed into my room and searched my closet. she decided on a maroon, shirt sleeve sweater and red plaid leggings. she grabbed a pair of tan oxfords and left.

I went to my bathroom. I dried and straightened my hair. I did my silver eye shadow, winged eyeliner, and mascara. I put on some red lipstick and left the bathroom. I walked into Taylor's room and grabbed a pair of black, strapping heels I snuck to her bathroom and scared her.

"BOO!"

"AHHHHH!" She screamed. she messed up her eyeliner. she slapped my arm really hard.

"Sorry not sorry!" I laughed. When I was about to leave, Taylor's phone lit up and I saw a text notification from Niall. I wish he would text me, I thought.

On my way downstairs, my phone dinged. It was an unknown number, but I checked it anyway.

From Unknown:

Hey Ivy! It's Niall.

To Niall:

Hey Niall! What's up?

I quickly added his name into my contacts and then I got a reply.

From Niall:

Can I ask you something?

To Niall:

Yeah

I plopped on the couch, hopeful that he would ask me what I wanted him to ask me.

From Niall:

I really like you, Ivy. So my question is, will you go out with me?

To Niall:

YES! I mean, sure

From Niall;

K. Pick you up tomorrow at 8

I squealed, Taylor had come downstairs and I hadn't realized it. she smiles from ear to ear.

"Spill it!"

"Niall asked me out!"

"When is it?!"

"Tomorrow!"

"Well, we'll have to go shopping after the studio!"

We had breakfast and headed off to the studio. Taylor and Kanye finished and recorded a new song. We left the studio and headed to the dress shop.

"You're welcome," Taylor said.

"For what?"

"For giving Niall your number."

"Well then thank you."

Then, my phone dinged. It was a text from my best friend, Cory.

From Cory:

What's up? Haven't talked in ages

To Cory:

Hey! Going to get a dress for my date with Niall Horan

From Cory:

OMG! Can I meet you there?

To Cory:

Sure

"Hey, Cory's gonna meet us at the shop."

"Okay."

We drove into the parking lot and sure enough, Cory was waiting for us. when she saw us, she ran over and gave me a huge hug.

"Hey Ivy! Haven't seen you in forever! How have you been?"

"Good! How about you?"

"I'm great! Come on. We need to get you a dress."

We walked inside. there were so many beautiful dressed, I wasn't sure if I'd able to pick one.

The first dress Taylor found was a peach colored, mid-thigh length dress with a sweetheart neckline. I tried it on, but Taylor and I both agreed the color didn't look right.

Cory and Taylor picked out several other dresses, but none of them quite worked. Then, I found a beautiful deep blue dress. it was simple, with a sweetheart neckline. I put it on and knew that it was the dress.

Cory and I said goodbye we both went to our homes. as soon as we got back to the house, I hung my dress in the closet.

My phone started playing 'Best Day', my ringtone for my mom.

"Hey Mom!"

"I've been diagnosed with cancer, Ivy."

"Oh...Mom...I...when did you find out?"

"Yesterday. I got tested last week."

"Have you called Taylor and Austin yet?"

"Yes. I just got off the phone with Taylor."

"Well, alright. when do you start treatment?"

"Tomorrow. I was wondering in you would go with me."

"Yeah. Definitely."

"Alright. I'll call you tomorrow. Love you."

"Love you too, Mom."

"Bye."

"Bye." I hung up and burst into tears. I couldn't believe my mom had a disease that could kill her in a matter of months.

Tears stains covering my face, I looked at my phone and saw a Tumblr notification from Taylor. It said, 'I just wanted to let everyone know that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer. The type and treatment will be kept private for the moment, but she wanted you to know.'

I started crying even more. Mom loved Taylor's fans as much as she did. I hate that something so terrible would happen to such a sweet person.
