A Place in This World - Taylor Swift x Fem OC

Chapter 1

⋆˚ఎ ☆ ໒˚⋆ 

"Austin Kingsley Swift!"

The teenage boy cringes from his spot on the couch next to his sister, quickly standing up and jumping behind it before the owner of the yelling voice can see him.

She comes sprinting into the room, a young boy trailing slowly behind her with his game boy in hand. She was supposed to be babysitting him while her moms- both nurses at the local hospital- are at the hospital for their shifts until 5pm, so Austin figured he would have some time to get away from her wrath.

Apparently not.

"Yes princess?"

"Oh don't princess me you little rat! You talked to Tim?" Her voice is quieter now, showing how truly upset she is. He promised he wouldn't. He promised he wouldn't try and set her up with the boy he sits next to in math class. But alas, she should've known her best friend can never just leave anything the way it was.

Taylor, Austin's older sister- the one swift she doesn't talk to despite being closer in age to the blonde then she is to Austin- looks up from her song book to stare as his brother gets tackled.

"You stupid...stupid...stupid...boy!" She yells in between hitting his face with a couch pillow, and Taylor pulls the young boy still standing in the doorway onto her lap as she asks him to teach her how to play his game. The blonde may not be friends with the teenage girl currently beating the crap out of her brother, but she's always had a soft spot for the girl's siblings. Especially the youngest, Parker.

"Arina! Arina! I'm sorry, okay?!"

She finally stops, both teenagers breathing heavily as they stare at each other.

Arina seems upset over multiple things, but she knows either way, Austin won't get why she's upset about it at all.

"You shouldn't have done that. I don't want to go to that stupid dance, and now Tim won't leave me alone for more than two seconds in school." She says, getting off of him but not helping him up.

Austin shrugs, patting her shoulder before he goes to sit back on the couch.

"He really likes you." He smiles as he says it, clearly not noticing the way his best friend cringes and nods before mumbling under her breath, "Yeah, that's the issue."

Taylor does though.

Before she leaves, Arina tugs her brother off Taylors lap and to her side and then awkwardly waves at the older girl. Older by a year, but the blonde will never stop mentioning it.

"Taylor." The girl on the couch nods in acknowledgment at the other girl's greeting.

"Arina." 

Arina Patel. She's a nice girl- pretty too. Her striking features instantly caught Taylors eye anytime they were in a room together. 

With her piercing brown eyes, high cheekbones, and full lips, she was a vision of beauty, and the townspeople couldn't help but stare at her in awe.

They also couldn't help but harness her for having two mothers.

So the swifts have become a safe place for her ever since she was 11 and became friends with- at the time- 10 year old Austin. Taylor was twelve at the time, and she didn't take any interest in anything other than music and guitars until about two years later. Though even now, at sixteen years old, writing music will always be her favorite thing.
