Never Grow Up | a Taylor Swift adoption story

*+* They see right through me *+*

Allie's POV

I let out a gasp upon realising who I bumped into,muttering a quick apology I gather my things off the floor. "Shit" I say to myself as I realise, Poppy is lost in god knows where - neither of us know where the fuck we are or how far away from the home we are.

"Hey,are you okay?" A Taylor says to me,but instead of responding I just quickly look around my surroundings - knowing it would be impossible to spot a small seven year old anywhere in this massive crowd. "Poppy!" I call out frantically, praying to the lord that somehow she can hear me or at least - she's safe.

Taylor's POV

After this young girl who appears to be no older than 14 bumped into me on the busy sidewalk of New York I turned around quickly to make sure she was alright, but to my surprise she barley acknowledged me before hurriedly picking up her things. However, what shocked me the most was when she began to call out for somebody whom I had not yet seen - worriedly I grabbed her arm "hey calm down!are you alright?" hurriedly asking her,hoping to get an answer out of her and finally she did answer me. "I can't find my sister,Poppy" she cried out, on the verge of tears.

I could sense the fear in her eyes and the panic in her voice as she spoke. I knew all too well that she may have a panic attack or at least something of the sort so I did my best to take her into the recording studio I was heading to that was next to us.

Once inside we sat down on the sofa and I tried to get her to repeat what had happened to me, after her explaining the situation I got one of my bodyguards on the line to the police so that they could search for her.

Allies POV

I honestly have no idea what is happening, it feels like at any minute the walls in this room are gonna cave in and collapse onto me.

I begin to pick at the skin around my nails till I begin to bleed slightly. "Shit" I say under my breath,thinking nobody could hear me.

"What was that honey?" Taylor asks me, "nothing" I say trying to play it off as nicely as I can without sounding too angry or panicked because the last thing I want is attention right now.

Suddenly, as if trying to disturb the peace a police officer and one security guard come through the door, and the police officer looks at me then says "Allison Morris? You need to get back to the home right now. Your parents are worried sick."
I stare at the ground before slowly standing up and walking out accompanied by the police officer, as I make my way to his car I look back at Taylor and for a minute I wish that I could stay in that moment of time forever - with nobody but her to comfort me.But, as if some cruel joke is being played on me I find myself snapped back to reality by the loud bang of the police cars door.

Authors Note :
I'm sorry for the short chapter I had no idea what to write and this is really just a filler chapter but dw I have plenty of ideas but I'm
Just trying to think of a way to put them into the story atm lucky for you guys there's nothing too bad happening yet, I mean I can't say the same for the next chapter though but I guess you will just have to wait and see what happens with Allie, if she finds Poppy or not, and what will happen when she gets back to the home?

Next update will probably be sometime today depending on the time I wake up because it's currently half four and I'm exhausted (it probably won't be by the time I post this but oh well)
