Our Small Miracle - Adopted by Taylor Swift

Part 72

Taylor's pov

As soon as we were in the hallway I heard Ellie crying from the other side of the wall. My mom guilt was so hard to ignore but my main priority was finding somewhere to get food from. When Harper was buckled in, Travis pulled me to one side. "She's hurting herself." He told me.

I could tell by the blood on her hoodie. "I know. I'm going to pick some food up for her and take it to her then just talk to her. Will you and Harper be okay in the car while I do that? If not, you guys can go home and I'll get a driver to bring me back." I told him.  We drove to the closest food place and picked up a kids meal for Harper and something for Ellie too.

When we pulled back up outside Travis grabbed the food and started getting out. He wanted to go in and see her which i understand, he is closer with Ellie than I am so he could probably get more out of her. Harper and I waited for about an hour before he came back out. I could see tears in his eyes and it was horrible knowing he was upset.

We left her for about a month without seeing her. We told harper she no longer has a sister and thankfully she didn't ask too much more. Unfortunately harper was still very uneasy around us both, she was terrified away from us but then she finds it hard still to relax with us. She went back to just chicken nuggets which worried me and she barely spoke to us.

My mom has been helping out a lot, once a week she comes and takes care of Harper for the evening, allowing me and Travis to have a night out together. Because of us spending more time together this meant that we had better communication because we weren't arguing over how little we saw each other.

I was laying on my bed reading after lunch with Harper asleep next to me when my phone went off. I quickly grabbed it, not wanting to wake Harper up from the nap that I had to fight for her to take. "Hello?"

"Hi this is the hospital. We have your contact details for our patient Ellie Kelce Swift. She has been brought in after calling us saying she overdosed on pain medication. She was panicked and said she didn't want to die and didn't know why she did it. It would be great if you or another member of the family could come in and be with her at this time." The lady on the other line informed me. I stayed silent and dropped my phone on the bed.

I jumped up and ran downstairs to tell Travis who quickly grabbed the keys and put on some shoes. In a panic I grabbed my coat and shoes before heading out to the car. Travis sped to the hospital and when I arrived I remembered we left harper at home napping. "SHIT! Travis turn around! Harper is at home alone I forgot her!" I yelled.

I grabbed Harper from home and thankfully she was still fast asleep. She naps for about 3 hours so I was glad that she hadn't woken up alone scared. When we got to the hospital we were directed to a room where Ellie was sitting on a bed drinking charcoal.  She was staring down and didn't look up. "Who is it?" She mumbled.

"It's mom and dad. We're here. Jeep drinking honey." I replied. I walked over to her and Moved the straw closer to her mouth. She took it and drank slowly. I didn't really know what I was supposed to say to her. Everything that has happened is all making me want to hate her but coz can I hate a girl that is basically my daughter. How I did I even met her get to this point?

"Ellie. I think you're going to be in the hospital for a while. I think it's best if you stay here where they can help you." I told her quietly. She nodded slowly then turned to look at me. She looked so hurt and betrayed. 

"I want to go home. I'm sorry Taylor I didn't mean to take her. I panicked and I don't know what made me do it! I was just so mad because it was always me, you and Travis all the time I was your practice child and then the second I moved away you guys being in harper. You just replaced me then I finally came back and she's the priority all the time you don't give a shit about me. You act all nice and are so lovely then do anything to push me away as soon as I turn 18 and I don't get it! What did I do so wrong to make you just hate me! I just panicked when you started ignoring Harper too and I reacted on the wrong way. Harper gets to use her trauma as an excuse but what about me! Everyone always leaves me Taylor. It's scary when you just stop caring because I'm gonna think you're leaving! Then you saw the state I was in, watched me break down and just left. I didn't see you in over a month Taylor! And you just don't care! You never have you just wanted me to get more fame and money out of me! You don't get to show up here and act like you care because you don't. You don't know how to parent and you never will so just leave." She sobbed.

Wow I really hurt her. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. I could never forgive her for what she did ever but I have been just as bad. "Ellie I-."

"Save it Taylor and just leave me alone. Why don't you focus on the kid that you actually want to be there for. You saw me the day you came in and you just took Harper and left. You knew I wasn't okay you even told me I wasn't okay and you left me on the floor in tears! Go comfort the child you care about, she's woken up now. I bet she wants her mommy. Maybe I wanted my mom to be there for me last month but no. Harper is the most important to you. I'm just your babysitter" She told me.

Owch that one really hurt.
