Our Small Miracle - Adopted by Taylor Swift

Part 70

Taylor's pov

Ellie stood there crying. She was frozen in silence but I had no sympathy. I looked down at my phone buzzing, the social worker's name popping up. My eyes widened and suddenly I felt sick. "DID YOU REPORT US?" I screamed.

Ellie let out a sob, now shaking. "I MEAN IT ELLIE DID YOU REPORT US!" I screamed, this time louder. The attention of my parents was caught and Travis also came in. Harper covered her ears as I handed her over to Travis, jumping up to face Ellie. She slowly nodded.

The nerves got too much, I ended up throwing up all over the floor before falling to the ground sobbing. Travis handed Harper off to Andrea and told Ellie to go to her room. He wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me stand up. Once I did he held me tightly in his embrace.

I continued to break down while Travis held me. I explained everything and I could sense the anger rising within him. As soon as the yacht got to land again we made our way off and said our goodbyes to everyone. As we got into the car there was an uncomfortable silence. Harper was watching a movie on the tv and singing along to the songs. Ellie stared off out of the window crying. I did the same, tears running down my own cheeks.

Travis reached over and placed his hand on my thigh letting me know that he was with me and we could get through it. I'd lost harper once and I couldn't do that again. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to Ellie who was crying still. "I called them again and told them we're fine." She told me.

I wasn't believing anything she said.

"I told them I got drunk and pranked them." She mumbled. I just ignored her and went back to looking out the window. I thought about how close I was with Ellie and how now she just broke that bond out of nowhere, these thoughts only causing me to cry more. I couldn't keep my cries quiet anymore. Travis pulled over and reached his arm over, telling me to lean into him.

I did and he held me there for a while. "No matter what happens it will all be okay, we can work through it." He told me. I nodded. "They said our last chance was harper getting sick from the alcohol, they're gone Travis. My baby! She can't survive without me!" I sobbed.

"Mama?" I heard from the back.

She repeated it again. "Mama... mama hug." She whined trying to reach for me, not even able to face me. Ellie unbuckled her and placed her in the center console where Travis took her and placed her in my lap. She cuddled into my chest and I smiled a tiny bit.

Ellie's pov

Yes I reported Taylor and Travis and yes I felt awful. The amount of regret that I was feeling was unbearable, I couldn't let Harper and Taylor loose each other. Taylor made it clear that she wants nothing to do with me so that night while they were asleep I packed my things.

Out of nowhere I made a terrible decision. I had no idea why I did it but I went into harpers room packing a small bag for her then gently picking her up. I headed out to the front where an Uber waited for us to take us all the way back to my apartment by college. We never sold it as I would eventually move in there anyway.

As we got in I lay harper down on the sofa and covered her up, making sure she had everything she needed and a hoodie of Taylor's so that she wouldn't realize she wasn't in the normal hosue anymore. I went to my room and lay down but I felt so guilty.

By the time I woke up the next morning I had so many missed calls from Taylor and Travis. Many many messages asking where I am and if Harper is with me. I couldn't answer. I couldn't go back now. They would beat me and hurt me so much if they knew I stole their kid. I sat down on the sofa crying and worrying about what would happen when they found me.

Harper woke up eventually, screaming and crying for Taylor. She wanted her mommy's love and I took that from her. I may have thought Taylor was a bad parent but she's the best either of us had ever had. I had taken her for granted and now she was going to lose us both no doubt. She is always so good with harper, no one could calm her down as easily as Taylor can. What the hell was I thinking to take Harper away.

Over a few days Harper stopped eating and drinking. She was making herself so sick and I was watching a toddler fall apart in front of me... because of me. If I'd have just left her with them this never would have happened. They would have let me go but I was killing Harper by keeping her here.

She was having multiple accidents a day, throwing up and screaming the apartment down. She needed Taylor. I wasn't going to be the person to go to them though, they needed to find me. If I went to them there's no way at all that they wouldn't hurt me.

I tried to hold Harper exactly how Taylor holds her, tried to give her bottles and pacifiers. Anything to comfort her but it wouldn't work. She just sat around sobbing and staring at the wall while clinging to one of Taylor's hoodies.

I heard three bangs on the door and my entire body tensed. I started shaking and crying at the thought of what would happen to me. "Police, open up please." They demanded. I was frozen, I couldn't open it. I wouldn't survive in jail.

There was a loud crash as the door got broken down before a bunch of police came running in.
