Adopted By Taylor Swift (Book I)

chapter seventeen

Taylor's POV

I reached my phone and dialled Harry.

Harry : Hey

Taylor : Har, I need to talk to you.

Harry : Okay. Wait, are you crying?

Taylor : No. I'm alright. Meet me at Starbucks.

Harry : You're not oka-

Taylor : Har, please.

Harry : Alright. Love you.

Taylor : Love you too

I wiped my tears away with my sleeve. Damn it was hard to take care of a 15 year old daughter.

Since I knew Tessa was emotionally unstable, I left a note on the fridge saying I'm going out. There was no need to tell her because she would not even want to take a look of my face.

I drove by myself to Starbucks and arrived by 7. Harry was already there.

As soon as I let out a big sigh. Noticing that, he moved next to me and hugged me by side.

' Let me guess... Tessa? ' he asked and I nodded. I told him everything and how I had no idea how to make it happen.

' They're your fans after all. Even watching Law & Order with you is life ' Harry said.

' I'll help you. So her birthday is 4 days from now. We should start planning as soon as possible. Now where's your pilot's number? '

' Tessa, wake up. We're going to be late ' I nudged her arms and she groaned. Too annoyed by her ignorance, I pushed her off the bed.

' What the heck, mom! ' she shot me an icy cold glare.

I rolled my eyes. ' We need to get moving. London is not a stone's throw away '.

I heard her mumble a few things. She pulled her suitcase under her bed. ' Tessa? ' I called. She looked at me and silence crept in as she waited for me to say something.

' Happy birthday, sweetheart ' without a warning I went close and kissed her forehead. She let out a sigh.

' Can we be this happy for the day? ' she asked and I laughed.

' I'll try to make things easy for you, honey. Now get ready. We have to pick up Lya and Jennett, remember? '

' Alright, mom ' she gave me her real smile and I could not help but to hug her. I ruffled her hair and she giggled.

Tessa's POV

I had no idea what Taylor was going to do. I got acquainted with Lya and Jennett fast when we were on our way to London. I found out that Lya was 14 and Jennett was 19.

Harry came too and he gave me a forehead kiss as he wished me Happy Birthday. Taylor's private jet had recently been added a bedroom at the back. Taylor was in there most of the time.

Apart from Harry, Lya and Jennett, no one else was there. I was expecting maybe Andrea or Scott or Karlie. You know, all of Taylor's loved ones excluding Harry and me.

The journey took longer than what I thought so I dozed off through the flight.

' Tessa? ' someone shook my body and I forced my heavy eyelids open. It was Lya. ' Come on we've arrived ' she seemed excited. I was not .

' Wait where's mom? ' I was panicking.

' She got off the plane already ' Jennett said then she pulled me, making me sit up straight.
