Ellie's POV

Rehearsals went okay, not great but not awful. During the breaks and lunch I hid away in the bathroom. I had an awful stomach ache so I ignored my lunch, staying away from anyone else in order to avoid Taylor asking about it too. At the end of rehearsal I sat myself down by my bag and brought out some fruit to snack on for the way home. I had to walk home after the altercation that morning so at least it would be some more time away from them.

I set off as early as possible, the walk would take over an hour so I was so happy that I ate the fruit beforehand. After only 5 minutes I could feel my head starting to hurt a little too. Of course then the rain started, it really wasn't my best day at all.

Then I got kidnapped.

Just kidding!

A black SUV pulled up beside me and I felt someone grab my arm pulling me into the car. I squealed and yelled for help as loud as possible, now feeling a panic attack coming on. I didn't even want to look at who it was, I needed help and I needed to get out. I continued to scream and kick and hit no matter how much they tried to talk to me.

They took the hint to let go of me and it went silent, all I could hear was my heavy breathing and sobs, until a familiar voice spoke. "Hey sweetie, it's Taylor you're okay, someone was following you they went to grab you so I just had to drag you in I'm so sorry. You're okay no one is gonna hurt you."

I looked over to her, still trying to catch my breath while looking around, still on edge. I felt Taylor reach over and gently rub my back, slowly bringing me closer to her. I continued to try calming down however when I couldn't she was quick to the rescue, bringing me close to her chest and holding my head in place. "When you feel my chest go up, you breathe in and when it goes down you exhale."

I listened carefully to her instructions and eventually I was back to normal. I didn't want to move, I let all my body weight lean against Taylor while I lay against her. I could feel her gently brushing all my loose strands of my hair back, clearly in an attempt to keep me relaxed and calm.

I felt my whole body tense at a quick strike of lightning and shake at the rumble of thunder that followed. Storms were always one of my biggest fears. I hated the noise so much and the flashes of lightning always caught me off guard. Taylor's hs d was quick to rest on my shoulder gently caressing it slightly until I relaxed. "You're safe honey it's just noisy."

Her tone was so condescending. Why! I'm 17 and I do not need to be patronized, she treats me like a 5 year old. I sat back, rudely stating these fact before turning away, she remained silent.

Another flash.

I found myself jumping straight into Taylor's arms, trying to hide my face in order to get away from the sight of the thunder. "Ellie, it's okay to need comfort and love. You are allowed to just accept this, no one thinks you look stupid." She told me.

We parked up outside my apartment and u began grabbing my bag. I thanked Taylor before rushing inside, not wanting to be caught by the lightning. That stuff is scary and deadly, I don't need that today.

As I got in I was met at the door by my two roommates holding all my things. They practically threw them at me before one hit me across the face. I could feel my balance going as I stumbled back. I could see and hear the door slam in my face before my heel fell over the edge of the stairs.

Down I went.

Or so I thought.

I felt hands grab me suddenly, stabilizing me and helping me get back to the top where my belongings were sprawled in the corridor. I turned to see Travis holding my phone. I ran to pack everything back into my suitcases while I heard him on the phone telling someone to come upstairs.

Soon enough I could hear her heels making their way over. I was now sat on the floor, overwhelmed by all of the events. I was on the top step with my head in my hands and trying to keep myself calm and not cry however when I noticed Taylor on front of me I lost it. She gently put her hands around my wrists and took them away from my face, pulling me into the tightest hug that she possibly could.

"Let's go back to mine, I'll help you find a home, you can't stay out here alone while you're upset. Let's get warm and get you some food you've not eaten all day and I know you haven't." She told me, I could feel her twirling the ends of my hair. I nodded a little and looked back to see Travis had packed all my stuff back up and was ready holding my things.

Soon enough we were back at Taylor's home where she made all three of us some dinner then we watched a movie together. I was originally sat on a separate chair alone but rather invited me between her and Travis where she pulled me close and let me lay against her. Comfort.

I never realized the lack of this that I had up until meeting Taylor. It was amazing to feel wanted. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up I was in the guest room bed. I could feel awful pain in my stomach and just knew the situation. As I moved back the covers to reveal the white sheet beneath me I saw the blood. All over my clothes and Taylor's perfectly cleaned sheets. Who knows how much that cost her.

I quickly jumped up, getting into some cleaner clothes and searching my bag for some toiletries to stop the situation happening again. When I couldn't I just knew I had to tell Taylor and ask if she had anything. I didn't want her to find out about the sheets, what if she set Travis on me and he yelled, I'd have to leave forever.

I wa shaking when I made my way iger to Taylor who was enjoying a drink on the sofa. I lingered by the side of her until she looked up. "Hey sweetie you okay, did you sleep well." She asked. I nodded a little, now feeling even more nervous. "Do you have any umm..." I looked up to see Travis, awkward.

"Can you come with me please?" I asked nervously. She nodded and jumped up, following me to the bathroom. She must have been able to tell that I was sensitive and fragile because she immediately opened the cabinet door where she had a stash of tampons and pads of various sizes. I looked at her and she encouraged me to grab whicher I needed.

I did so before looking at her now even more terrified. "Did you bleed through?" She asked me. I held my breath as I nodded, looking ashamed of myself. She hugged me and smiled. "That's okay! Don't be ashamed, I just needed to know so that I could go change the sheets for you. It happens to us all, don't worry."

I nodded a little, apologizing before going to the bathroom where I calmed myself slightly before facing Travis. I looked up at him and he smiled at me. Thank god he didn't want to kill me. "Sorry I made a mess." I told him and he nodded, knowing what had happened after a small chat and giving Taylor a hand in making the bed fresh. "Don't worry about it kiddo. You're okay, do you need some painkillers or anything?" He asked me and I shook my head.

Wow I really was safe with them. It was almost like having parents away from home.
