Tour Trouble - Taylor Swift

Part 16

Ellie's POV

We landed in Australia and I immediately went to meet a few of my friends. Taylor and Travis had sent out the hotel details and told me to call if I needed anything but I was staying at my parents. After a few days there Taylor and Travis were supposed to go home so I had agreed to stay with my parents for a while longer and get a normal plane back a couple of weeks later. I wanted more time with my friends so they couldn't stop me.  At first it was going smoothly until I came in at 8:30. "You think you can sneak in at this time of night?" They asked.

I immediately panicked. They began to yell at me about how disrespectful I am to use their house as a temporary hotel then run off to America again and act like they don't exist. "You sent me away." I told them. I will admit that I added a little bit of attitude.

This started a whole war zone between us all. We were arguing for a good 3 hours. As soon as we thought it had died down someone had to add in another point. By the time I got to my room I felt defeated and I could feel a panic attack happening.

Before I could get too bad I called Taylor, knowing that within 5 minutes I wouldn't be able to speak. She picked up and it's like she could sense that something wasn't right. "What's wrong, Ellie." She asked.

"Panic attack." I mumbled, trying to get any form of a deep breath into my lungs. I heard her starting to ask me questions, she had used this trick on me before. I didn't answer.

"Five things you can see Ellie, you can do it." She told me but I couldn't. I started panicking worse and I could feel myself starting to shake. She kept asking but every time I tried to talk I would end up second guessing myself or I was coughing from being so worked up. My sleeves were wet from wiping away my tears.

"I need you Tay." I told her quietly.

"I'm on my way, baby. Just stay on the phone. You're okay, this has happened before. I know it feels like a lot and it's scary but it's just a panic attack and you can get through it." She told me. I could hear her driving in the background and Travis was directing her. I could have sworn they went home but it wasn't the time to ask.

She asked if I was still there but I couldn't answer, it's like my whole body was just shutting out the entire world around me. I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my head down on them letting out a few sobs. "Hurry." I whimpered. I hate being vulnerable and I sounded like such a little kid but I couldn't help it. I was desperate.

"I'm trying baby, you're okay I promise. We're on our way." She told me again. If I could have counted how many times she said that no one would believe me. Eventually I heard a knock on the door downstairs. Mum and dad let Taylor in when she explained what she heard on the phone and I think they felt bad. They followed Taylor and Travis up to my room.

"I'm here sweetie, you're okay I'm right here." Taylor told me gently. She knelt down in front of me and took my hands. My knees were blocking my view but I didn't need to see her. She was there and that was all that mattered. I could feel her thumbs gently rubbing the back of both my hands while she talked me through my breaths. Eventually I managed to calm down again.

My mum came over to hug me but I backed away. I stood up, starting to pack my things up. "Where are you going?" Dad asked.

"I'm going home." I told them.

Dad came over, he was furious that I could call anywhere else home. Maybe he was scared that I would tell everyone about how awfully he and mum treat me. I watched him raise a hand at me. I flinched away and stumbled backwards into Taylor who wrapped her arms around me protectively. Travis made his way over to dad and moved him away from me.

My mum grabbed me by my hair and pulled me away from Taylor before hitting me multiple times. I dropped to the floor, my hand on my face sobbing. I felt sick from the pain. I just wanted to be at home. Not this home though, my real home with Taylor and Travis.

Mum tried to come back for another round but Taylor stepped in front of me. "You've done enough damage just leave. If you don't want her I'll take her, if you sign to say you're happy for me to have her then I'll take her as mine. You'll never have to deal with her again and I won't tell anyone that you lay a finger on her." She told them.

My mum and dad both agreed. "I'll have the papers sent to you next week." Taylor told them. She then turned around and knelt down in front of me.

"You are so brave honey, it's all going to get better." She told me as she helped me up and took me out to the car. Travis grabbed my things while I calmed down. Taylor sat in the back with me while I waited and she cuddled me for a while. It's what I needed, so much had happened and I just couldn't deal with the stress of it all.

"When we get to the hotel I'll get a nice warm bath ready for you and you can go relax then when you're done we can watch a movie just us three or we can do whatever you want." She told me. I nodded and cuddled closer. Travis finally got in the car and smiled at me.

"Looks like you're not the practice child anymore, this is the real deal." He told me and I laughed. I didn't want anyone else to have taken me in. They saved me and they have no idea that they did. What they saw was nothing compared to what I have endured in the past.

"Thank you for coming mom." I told Taylor. It's become a running joke that I call her that recently but this time deep down I actually meant it. She couldn't know that though. "Any time baby girl, any time." She smiled. This new family is all I've ever needed.
