Hailey's pov:

A sudden hand out of nowhere slapped me across the face, a hand that belonged to a girl at the orphanage, Mia, the one who has tortured me ever since I came the to the shelter, Miss Smith has tried to get her to stop however nothing seems to work. Mia is a brat that has never been put in her place, but no-one is brave enough to do so. She walks around like she owns the place. "Hey fatty, do you really think you will finally get adopted tomorrow at the open-house, it would be soo nice not having to look at your face. Hopefully they won't send you back like the previous 4 did", Mia snapped. At this point I simple put my headphones in trying to avoid what I knew was coming next. However just as I play my favourite artists new album (ttpd), she rips my headphones out and starts attacking me, she is 2 years older and much stronger so can easily push me to the ground just then Miss Smith comes in and has to literally peel her off me. "Are you ok, Hailey?" she asks concerned, whilst helping me get back up. "I'm fine" I reply quickly, in all honesty I was not fine but I didn't want her fussing all over me. "Mia, go up to your room I will deal with you later" Miss Smith said with the most serious look on her face I have ever seen.

Me and Mia get into way too many fights and I always end up looking like I had been run over by a truck. I decide to walk upstairs to play some music. I walk into my room, covered with posters of my idol. I didn't bother doing my homework I just sat down with my guitar and started brainstorming some ideas this is what she ended up with:

You've given all the scars to heal your own, I've grown back stronger but you're still alone, You take it out on me as days go by, Is it so hard for you to see me fly? 

 I feel sorry for your conscience, Does it eat you up? Maybe over time, you'll find in you something to love 

 I hope no one does to you what you did to me, I wouldn't wish it upon you, no not anybody, But only I could've dealt with what you put me through, Glad it happened to me and not you (I can't take credit for this, these are the lyrics to Sody's song the bully)

Once i had finished a little girl who is 5 comes runs inside my room, and starts begging "please, please, please can you play something for us" I am the only person in the building who knows how to play an instrument and since the internet has been terrible I play some songs for the younger kids while the older ones go out into town. I have never really had any friends here so its not like I have anything better to do so I might as well. "Of course" reply ask she runs of screaming out of excitement. I grab my guitar and start making my way downstairs. I made myself comfortable on one of the chairs in the canteen because there was not enough room anywhere else. I turn to the kids and ask "do you guys have any songs you would like me to play?" One little boy raises his hand and questions "can you play your favourite song?" I started playing cardigan because it's the first song that came to mind.

Half-way through I catch myself crying for no apparent reason, I finished the song without having a complete mental breakdown, luckily for me none of the kids seemed to notice so I just kept playing, when one of the kids asked for shake it of they all got up and started dancing which was adorable to watch. 

Taylor's pov:

I have been looking to adopt a child for what seems like forever, I decided to call the local orphanage to see if they had any updates. "Hello, Miss Smith speaking"the woman on the line states "Hello my name is Taylor Swift, before you ask yes the singer and I am looking to adopt a child" "wait Taylor Swift, as in the Taylor Swift, or is this just some kid messing around?"she says questioningly, surprisingly I get that really often, "yes 'Taylor Swift as in Taylor Swift' and please call me Taylor". "Hi, Taylor we actually do have an open house tomorrow it starts at 13:00 and finishes around 18:00", I was overjoyed this is finally my chance, "thank you very much see you tomorrow." 

I think I should call my mom quickly to tell her what is going on "hi mom, you know how I really wanted to have kids well I have decided to adopt a teenager from the local orphanage" "that's great hunny, why do you want a teenager though?" "well I need someone who I trust I can leave backstage when I am on tours I think that is my best option"

I then decides to call travis, "hi so you know how I have been really wanting to adopt"I begin excitement bubbling up inside me. "ye?"he asks questioningly even though he knows kinda already knows what I am going to say. "Well the local orphanage has an opening evening tomorrow and I am soo exited".
