~oh darling we found wonderland~
Ariana is a 13yo girl who loves Taylor Swift, she's been struggling her whole life due to her parents. Her whole life changed when her best friend's mother surprised her with eras tour tickets, little did she know..
April 2nd 2023 I wake up to the sound of loud music, I think to myself it must be my parents having their 6th party of the week. I look over to my clock and sigh to myself, 3:28am, I know this party wont end for another 2 hours and there was no way I was getting any sleep.
I grab my phone and headphones from my bedside table and decide to put on folklore by Taylor Swift, I can't imagine how my life would be without her.
My parents are horrible, they had me when they were just 15 and both got kicked out so had no choice to stay together and look after me. They remind me everyday how i've ruined their life's.
I look over to my arms which has a fresh scar from yesterday when my dad got angry after he lost 200$ betting with his friends and sliced my arm with glass. It's not like I can prevent it, ever since I turned 10 I've been mentally abused and recently they've decided to start physically abusing me.
Only two people actually care about me in my life, my best friend Layla and her mother. I met Layla when we were just 6 years old, and we've been inseparable ever since. We do everything together, listen to the same music, have the same style and tell each other everything.
// Time skip, 4 hours
I wake up to my mother screaming at me to get up and to go to the store and get beer for her and dad since they were having friends over. I don't say a word and immediately get dressed.
I wear my white baby tee, navy sweater that Layla got me for my 13th birthday to hide my scar and bruises , denim shorts and my black converse.
I put on my makeup, grab my phone, headphones, the 20$ my mom left on the table for me and start walking, it's about a 20 minute walk from my house so I put on my taygracie playlist and decide to post on instagram.

Once I finished making the insta post I was almost at the store, I went in and bought what my parents wanted, paid and left.
"The blue" by Gracie Abrams was blasting through my AirPods when I suddenly got a call from my best friend Layla.
"SURPRISE I GOT ERAS TOUR TICKETS FOR THE BOTH OF US", Layla screamed through the phone with pure excitement.
"OMG THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH LAYLA", I yelled back matching her energy.
We spoke some more until I arrived home, hoping I didn't take too long. I opened the door and as expected my dad was standing there.
"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN ITS BEEN AN HOUR SINCE I SENT YOU", my dad screamed.
"I'm sorry..", I say trying to stay calm
"SORRY ISNT GONNA CUT IT KID", my dad continues to scream.
He drags me upstairs and throws me into the corner kicking me, I had now choice but to suck it up and try and stay quiet as possible and pray for it to be over soon. Eventually, after 5 minutes he decided he had enough and left me alone. I was covered in bruises.
I walked into my room carefully locking the door. Why did my life have to be like this? Why couldn't my parents love me, why am I stuck with bruises and scars I get from them daily? I started quiet crying which I learnt to do awhile ago.
A couple hours passed and I just calmed down, decided to check my insta and saw I had 2,630 new followers and 8,006 likes on my recent post.
Confused I checked my individual notifications and saw that I saw that THE TAYLOR SWIFT, replied to my post
taylorswift: Gorgeous Girl 😻💞
I started freaking out, I wanted to scream but that would cause me to get beated, so instead I did it in my head. THE TAYLOR SWIFT CALLED ME GORGEOUS??? THE ONE IVE LOOKED UP TO SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD???
After freaking out in my head for atleast 10 minutes I went to go dm Layla when I saw I had a message from Taylor. I instantly started shaking from nerves and opened the message
taylorswift: Hi Ariana 💖 I can't help notice the bruises you have on your arms, is anything going on? I'm a text away if you want to talk, I love you so much 🫶🏽
OH SHIT MY ARMS. I DIDNT EVEN REALISE THEY WERE THAT NOTICEABLE AND TAYLOR SWIFT CARES ABOUT ME ENOUGH TO DM ME ABOUT THEM???
What do I even say? I don't want the police to get involved, I would rather my toxic parents over the possibility of getting placed in a foster home on the other side of the city. As much as I want to tell Taylor I feel like I can't.
arianacampbell13 Hi Taylor! Thank you so much for commenting on my post I needed to be told that barely anyone does. I'm sorry if the bruises worried you I fell over yesterday and tried to catch myself with my auras but ended up hitting them hard. I love you too your music has gotten me through so much 💕
