Tour Trouble - Taylor Swift

Part 17

Ellie's POV

I woke up bright and early, ready for the day ahead of me. Taylor and Travis adopted me a few weeks ago as they wanted to do it before I turned 18 and since then everything has been so much better. I ran downstairs because I knew that it was my choice for breakfast this morning too!

There was no one in sight.

Of course they chose to sleep in on my birthday.

Despite how much I hate going to their room now I knew I had to get them up, I wanted to tell them my breakfast request and what I had planned for us to do. They told me the previous night that I could plan the whole day so we had to start early to get it all in.

I knocked on the door and there was no answer. I didn't know if that meant they were asleep or just busy and too distracted to have paid attention. I cracked the door open a little bit and managed to head Travis snore. They were asleep.

I decided to just burst the door open. "Excuse me mother! You can't sleep in on my birthday! That is not fair! Same for you dad!" I yelled as I jumped onto their bed and got between the two who were peacefully sleeping cuddled close. The whole mom and dad thing is just a joke, none of us take it seriously unless something huge has happened.

"Good morning, what are you doing so early? I'm tired, you're like a kid on Christmas, go back to bed." Taylor told me and I laughed a little giving her a hug big hug.

"Taylor it's my birthday! I've never celebrated before and you said to plan the day but we have to leave early!" I reminded her and she quickly sat up. She nudged Travis who also shot up and they both got up and came downstairs with me. My breakfast suggestion was donuts so we all sat around the table with a donut each while I told them about the day I had planned.

"Okay we can do all of that, I know you wanted to come back and cuddle and watch a movie but we may be out late because we have made a reservation for tonight if that's okay?" Travis told me and I nodded excitedly. I was surprised they could even care enough to let me plan the day, never mind actually planning stuff as well as that.

We started off at the theme park. I had never really been to one so I was so excited. I couldn't wait to spend some time with Taylor for the day and also with Travis as well. We were at the theme park for a while but my other plan was next. I had told them I wanted to go to a theme park then also I wanted to go to the beach.

We went back home and got into beach clothes then went to the beach. It was so much fun we all got to sunbathe and I could go in the water and do whatever I want. I love living with Taylor and Travis, they care and they let me live my life too.

We were at the beach for a good few hours and unfortunately I ended up with sunburn. Not fun.

Taylor handed me a dress to wear for our meal out and I looked at it in shock. I never thought she would have bought me it when I made my own money by working for her. I made sure to get ready really quickly then sat downstairs waiting for them both to also come down.

They both came down holding hands and Taylor had one hand behind her back. Both of them stood in front of me and I started to wonder what I had done wrong. I felt like I was in trouble. Travis put his arm around Taylor's shoulder and her arm was around his back before handing me a little box.

"Happy Birthday baby girl." She told me with a huge smile. I never normally get gifts so I was terrified but I opened the little box. It was a little heart shaped locket and on the front it read 'KS'. I looked up at them both confused as to what it stood for.

"You're a Kelce - Swift now," Travis told me and I could feel my eyes watering a little. I opened it up and inside was the family picture we got on our matching shirts. I immediately started crying and got up, hugging them both extra tightly. "Thank you." I told them.

I noticed Taylor wiping away one of her own tears and laughed a little. "Ellie you made me cry, I only just did my makeup!" She told me as a joke. I laughed again and hugged her. She ran upstairs to touch up her makeup before making her way to the door. We all left together, making our way to the restaurant.

The meal was lovely and it was nice being able to sit and chat with them both. They also got me a birthday cake which I could have never expected and so many more presents which they gave me throughout the evening. This is what it's like to be loved.

At the end of the day we were going up to bed when I stopped Taylor. "Tay?" I asked and she looked over, nodding.

"Thank you for everything, you've given me more in a day than my parents have given me in my whole life. I'm so grateful to have you as my mom." I told her and she started getting emotional again. What is wrong with her, she can't stop crying any time I say thank you or hug her.

I found Travis and thanked him too before heading to bed. As expected Taylor came in and tucked me in before giving me a kiss on the forehead and walking to the door. I love that she still comes and tucks me in even if I'm not 5. "Sleep tight sweetie." She whispered as she turned off the night and went to bed.

I smiled to myself. I never once go to bed unhappy or hurt here, it's so different to how everything was.
