Olivia's POV:
I still can't believe it, I have been adopted by THE TAYLOR SWIFT. Anyone would kill to be in this position, but I can't even speak in front of her. I bid Ms. Morris goodbye and started walking to Taylor's car. I was about to sit in the back seat as normally the parents wouldn't want you to sit in the passenger seat but Taylor opened the passenger door and motioned for me to sit. I sat down as my thoughts consumed me, I tried to stop shaking but I couldn't...
Taylor's POV:
Olivia is such a sweet girl, I think of trying to make conversation but decide against it when I remember she won't speak much due to her anxiety. Ms Morris told me that she is outstanding in academics but what kind of people will abuse and exploit a child's intelligence for money?
I already knew I was going to adopt a teen girl so I already have the room equipped with a few things that she might need like some books, a few clothes, toiletries and stuff like that.
There are only like 3 pairs of clothes in Olivia's bag, I decide I will take to shopping after a few days till then she can wear my clothes or some of the ones I bought for her already.
Olivia's POV:
As I zoned out I hear a voice
"we are here honey" Taylor said gently.
I nod and get out of the car with Taylor standing near me,
"ready to go in sweetheart?" she asks
I nod quietly
She has already stared using nicknames for me, I already know I shouldn't get attached to her as she will probably return me after finding out about my self harm and night mares.
We walk inside the house and I look around, its so big I think to my self.
"its nice isnt it?" she says
I just smile and nod, why am I not able to say anything. Why did I have to be so dumb that I cant even talk to the person who adopted me.
"lemme show you your room" she says.
she takes me up to my room and it looks so pretty, the bedsheets and walls are shades of purple, I love it so much; my favorite color is purple after all.
"It's nice" I manage to say
She smiles and reaches out to hug me, I did not want a hug but I did not say anything as I didn't want to be rude.
Taylor's POV:
I'm so glad that she liked her new room, I smile and hug her. I feel her tensing up, I think she didnt like hugs or she was just uncomfortable so after some time I pulled away.
"you can unpack your stuff, after you do come downstairs" I tell her and she nods.
Olivia's POV:
I kept pacing around the room, I was getting an anxiety attack, shit shit shit
between gasps of air, I started unpacking thinking it will make my anxiety attack go away. I was so wrong, I saw a blade in the bag and picked it up as I desperately needed release; I rushed to the bathroom and locked the door, as I mindlessly cut, I heard taylor's voice
"Are you ok in there, Liv?" she asked, concerned
"yea" I said quietly
"ok then" she said and shut my door.
I got up and tried to stop my bleeding, I held up paper towel after paper towel, the bleeding didn't stop. Finally after a long time the bleeding stopped. I put Band-Aids on the cuts, rolled down my sleeves and went downstairs.
Taylor was sitting on the couch and asked me to join her, I sat at the other end of the couch far from her. She frowned a bit then put on the TV.
"I have ordered some food, what do you want to watch?" she asked I wasn't able to say anything so I just looked at my feet.
"do you want to watch friends?" she asked
I nodded silently, I never had the chance to watch any tv shows as most of foster parents didn't allow me and at the orphanage we would always have to watch what the younger kids wanted.
Taylor pulled me closer to her and wrapped her arms around me.
Taylor's POV:
As I wrapped my arms around her, I could feel her anxiety rising but I knew I should show her lots of affection. I slowly redirected her head on my shoulder and brushed a few strands of hair, she started to relax and she smiled a bit.
after some time our food came and we started eating on the couch only as I wanted Olivia to be as comfortable as possible.
After we finished out food we just sat there watching the tv, I didnt say anything as I didnt want the pressure her into talking. After some time I noticed her eyes getting droopy,
"dont worry darling you can sleep" I said and started playing with her hair, after some time I looked down and saw her asleep, I realized it was getting late, I didn't want to wake Olivia so picked her up and started walking towards our rooms, suddenly I felt something sticking against my arm, I checked and saw that the sleeve of her shirt was stained with a few spots of bloods, I rolled up her sleeves and saw the multiple cuts bandaged lousily. Oh no
I laid her down on my bed, wow this girl can sleep through anything
I grabbed some bandages and took of her shirt, I bandaged her arms and put on one of my shirts on her and tucked her in my bed, I wasn't going to let her sleep alone. I laid down beside her and kept her close to me, tomorrow is going to be a long long day..
