TW: mentions of an eating disorder, bullying and violence

(Taylor's P.O.V of Monday)

TAYLOR
It's been three days since i've last heard from Kiara. Three. She promised that she would text me. Well, she promised that she would text me if she needed anything, but that's not the point. I texted her on Friday, yet she never replied to me. She always replies to me.

I might've only been speaking to her over texts for around month, but that's enough time to know that she's quick at responding to messages.
I texted her on Saturday: no reply. I then texted her Saturday night: no reply. I texted her yesterday: still no reply. I then thought that maybe she turned her notifications off for Instagram by chance, so I decided to text her on her normal messages seeing as I had given her my phone number.

I might be overreacting. I might be acting too protective over a kid that i've only just met in person a few days ago. I might be crazy for getting attached over the time span of two days, but how could I just walk away from that group home and get on with my life after telling her that I would help her?

I've known this girl long enough to know that she dismisses her own feelings just to satisfy and stop others from worrying, which is why I need to be the someone to tell her that she matters. That her feelings matter just as much as anyone elses. And considering that she feels and acts like this, it's obvious that nobody has just sat her down and had a conversation about this with her.

Have her guardians even acknowledged this? Do they know she feels like this? She can't do this to herself - she can't live her life or even be a kid with a mindset like this. If she's constantly worrying about others and having consistent fears of upsetting the people around her, how can she have a normal childhood?

It's one thing that her top priority is not upsetting others, but she needs someone to tell her that she also needs to look out for herself. And the worrying thing is that she clearly doesn't have that someone. Or maybe she does, like her best friend, but that message just might not be getting through to her. She needs someone, preferably an adult, to reassure her that it's okay to care about others but at the same time, take care of herself.

I was currently pacing around my living room, trying to think of a solution. I can't just pull up outside the group home and barge in asking if she's safe. Not whilst Amanda is still there at least. It could make things worse for Kiara if I go there again. I've thought about sending one of my drivers over there, but I haven't been able to think of something that they could tell Amanda. Yeah, i'm Taylor Swift's driver. She wants to know if Kiara Williams is doing okay. Sounds kinda weird, right?
