Maddison's POV
___________

The woman finally releases her hold around my waist and now i am just sat on her lap waiting for her to say something, after picking me up during our hug i was quickly places onto the blondes knee and now i am not sure what to do in the awkward silence.

I don't even know her name, all i know is that she is one of Taylor's friends, most likely the one looking after me tonight, Well i hope she is anyway, otherwise i just hugged a random stranger.

"are you Taylors friend?" i ask nervously, trying to be polite while i try and feel out her vibe to see if i think she will be nice or mean.

She seems slightly taken aback by me calling Taylor by her name, maybe i was supposed to call her Ma'am, thats what Mommy says i should call people i don't know otherwise i am being rude.

Rude girls are nothing. You are nothing.

Sometimes mommy doesn't even let me call her mommy.

She says i don't deserve one and thats why mine left, which makes no sense considering she didn't leave but i just go along with it and apologise because making her angrier by talking back wouldn't be the best decision.

"yes i am! My name is Blake, I'm going to look after you today with some of Taylor and I's other friends, Selena and Gigi. I promise they are both really nice and they are super excited to meet you little bean." She says tapping my nose in a friendly way before continuing,

" we are going to have so much fun together tonight! we can get donuts and a slushy and a Taylor hoodie for you to wear. You will look so cute, how does that sound?"

My lips immediately curve into a smile at the thought of doing all of that with this woman who i now know is Blake i may not know her yet but she seems excited to get to know me so maybe that means she is one of the nice people?

Granny bought Phoebe a jumper from a merch stand while we were here for our concert but she didn't buy me one claiming that they cost to much money to waste on someone like me and i was kind of sad about that, everyone at the concert was wearing them and although i knew i would never get one it still made me feel a little left out.

The thought immediately makes my smile drop.

"Thats okay the hoodies cost a lot of money but Taylor bought me a dress to wear! I would like to get a slushy if that's okay though, I've never had one before." I shyly admit as the tinge of red lights my cheeks. Thinking about the dress i get to wear tonight immediately makes me get excited all over again though, quickly replacing the uneasy thoughts of wasting her money.

Her eyes soften at my admission and she gently turns me around from her knee onto her lap.

"You don't worry about money!
Your six for gods sake, plus i have missed out on five years worth of gifts a hoodie isn't even a start to what i want to give you, and you are going to try every slushy flavour to exist tonight little bean okay?"

She exclaims smiling widely at me while also waiting for an answer.

"okay." I mutter anxiously and she kisses my forehead in return.

"now where is this dress you are wearing tonight i have to see it!" she squeals and i immediately light up, jumping of her lap and scrambling to the dress bag hanging on the door for me to get changed into before the concert begins.

Blake makes my nerves instantly fly away as  i happily show her my outfit and ribbons for my hair. I think i like Blake.

We decide to play a game to pass time with the cards we found in a drawer where you match the pictures from your card to the one at the top of the pile. Blake lets me win every time even though i know she is better than me.

When the noise of people arriving outside of the stadium grows louder, Blake asks if she can do my hair.

Taylor has been doing my hair while i have been staying with her, but apart from her I don't remember having anyone else ever wanting too or putting in the effort to ask.

Mommy used to reluctantly do it when i asked her too, but she always brushed to hard and if it didn't turn out how she wanted it too then she would get frustrated and hit me.

After that i just started doing it myself.
Having a bad hair doo was better than hurting.

I agree by nodding my head and follow her into the bathroom. She tells me i should put my dress on first so that i don't mess my hair up by putting it on after and i nod at that too.

As she goes to leave to let me get ready i realise i don't know how to put it on. I never got to wear dresses because most of my clothes were hand my downs from Phoebe and were too big for me.

"Wait!" I shout and she looks back at me from the bathroom door.

"Whats the matter little bean?" she asks and i point to the dress that now hangs outside of its bag. Since she arrived that nickname has became a thing i am used to hearing.

I was always just Maddison at home, never any nicknames or shorter versions.

Just Maddison.

It makes me feel warm inside that they want to have a nickname for me and each time she says it i think in my head of a nickname i could call her in return.

"I don't know how to put the dress on. Could you help me please?"  I ask and the concern edged on her face immediately floats away and she lets out an audible sigh of relief.

"Yes of course i can! Come on let's get you in your gown princess." She announces, carefully taking the silky purple dress from its hanger and undoing its zipper.

Once my dress is officially on, Blake gushes me with compliments and my cheeks heat up at the utter surprise and joy that fills me with her praise.

Never has anyone simply told me i looked beautiful before i met Taylor and Blake.
Never have i felt beautiful before then either.

We decide on curling my hair because she says it is a crime to straighten my waves.
I nod agreeing even though i have no idea what she means.

She takes her time, spraying heat protection on my blonde locks before carefully wrapping it around the wand and waiting patiently.

By the time my hair is finished and she wraps the ribbons around some smaller curls in the back to create an adorable bow, in a half up half down look i feel amazing.

I twirl around the room in front of the mirror and Blake videos me while she laughs along with me.

"Come on princess Maddie let's go and meet Selena and Gigi!" She curtsies in front of me and i beam up at her like she is the best thing to exist.

Before we can walk out of the dressing room i wrap my arms around her legs, which is as high as i can reach and squeeze as hard as i can.

"Thank you Blake!"
