Taylor Swift / Kaylor - Begin Again

Chapter Twenty-Two (Ooh Ooooh)

10K READS?! HOLY CRAP OMG. I never even expected 50 reads let alone 10K!!! Thank you so much to every single person who read this story, it means the world to me.

I also apologise for the late update, if you read the message I sent out, then you'll see that I explained there :)

Ellie's POV

It'd be 2 days since I met with the therapist and met Cara. We had pretty much been texting back and forth almost non stop since as well. It definitely felt strange that I was friends with her. Strange because she's a model, Karlie is a model, and my adoptive mother is a worldwide superstar. I mean, it doesn't get better than that. But that's where it felt strange. Coming from where I do, my background, then suddenly a luxury life, not having to worry where my next meal will come from, bad things happening during the night, living with people who just wanted to make my life hell. Now I was living with someone I had always dreamt of meeting and forever doubting I would. I'm slowly meeting her friends, who are all so famous as well. I have a nice warm, cosy bed to sleep in at night, breakfast prepared for when I wake up ( which always tasted ah-mazing) and love and support 24/7. I certainly never would have guessed that something this surreal could ever happen to me. But it has. And it's crazy! But I wouldn't change it. No way. I don't think I'd ever be able to thank Taylor enough. For giving me another chance at life basically. Letting me have a decent life and enjoy the rest of my teenage years.

My phone chimed signally I had a text waiting which completely brought me out of my thoughts.

Cara: What's the silence for? :P xx

Me: Woops sorry haha. I was just thinking how crazy it is how quick my life has changed and how amazing it is xx

Cara: Well, of course I mean you have met me so it's obviously amazing xx

Me: Are you always bigheaded? xx

Cara: Meh, when I wanna be xx

I put my phone down and chuckled to myself at Cara. She's such a nice girl. For someone so beautiful and known by so many she's so down to earth and in contact with her weirdness which is just hilarious.

"Ellie dinner is ready!" I heard Taylor shout up. I raced downstairs knowing Taylor had done Italian food for dinner, which was my favourite!

I sat down at the table and dug straight in.

"You hungry?" Taylor giggled.

"No one makes Italian food like you!" I said while shovelling more pasta into my mouth and groaning from how tasty it was.

"I need your help with something." Taylor said very seriously. I finished my mouthful before replying to her.

"What's up?"

"I wanna tell Karlie sometime this week, preferably as soon as possible."

"Okay?"

"Well... I need your help because I don't know how to tell her."

"Hmm. What kind of things does she like?"

"Baking, ballet, basketball games..." Taylor carried on naming a list of things that Karlie likes doing until I interrupted her when an idea came into my head.

"I have an idea!"

"What?"

"Take Karlie to the ballet, maybe a show that she really likes or wants to see but she hasn't seen yet, then go out for a meal afterwards."

"So basically a date?"

"Well yeah, but don't tell her it's a date and maybe see if she figures it out for herself if you know what I mean?"

Taylor came over to me, she put her hands on my cheeks and kissed me on my forehead.

"You, young lady, are one clever cookie! I'm gonna book tickets now! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome." In that moment, I suddenly felt a feeling that I'd be longing to feel for years. Love. No one ever told me I'm clever or appreciated my ideas, let alone me. It overwhelmed me. So much that I began crying. Not tears of sadness. Tears of happiness.

"What's the matter?" Taylor asked turning around after hearing me sniffle.

"No one's ever called me clever before... Or appreciated any ideas I've had."

"Well, you are clever and I appreciate any idea you ever have." Taylor came over to me and put her arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to her.

Every time Taylor hugged me I always get an overwhelming feeling of love, and that this is my life now. Taylor has basically saved me.

"What you thinking about?" I hear her ask.

"Just stuff." I smiled back, to reassure her that it wasn't anything bad

Taylor's POV

I was really excited about the idea for Karlie that Ellie came up with. It was actually beyond amazing. All I had to do was find out what ballet she hasn't seen yet, rent it out for just us, maybe a restaurant she adores and bam, hopefully it'll sweep Karlie off her feet. I hope. The only problem here is that I could be risking so much, our friendship, possibly our careers. What if she didn't feel the same way back, what would happen then? Ellie seemed confident about it but after that thought, I'm not so much. The fear began setting in. I didn't want to back down. No way. I just had to be so cautious about this. Maybe not make it completely obvious it's a date? But then how else would I bring up what I want to talk to her about? Urgh pull yourself together Swift. I guess it was one of those things, a now or never type thing. I don't think I could cope if I never told Karlie. Or worse. If I never tell her and then she finds someone that makes her happy, that isn't me. My stomach churns at the thought

Wow. I must be really falling for her. I don't think I've ever felt this way about someone before. I definitely can't back out of this.

Deciding that I really do need to go forward the the this, I decide to phone Karlie, to find out when she's free and what ballet she hasn't seen. It needs to be special.

I pick up my phone and go straight to Karlie's name then rung her.

It rung a few times before I finally got an answer.

"Hey Karls."

"Oh hey Taylor, this isn't Karlie, it's Kimby."

"Oh right haha. Is Karlie there?"

"Um.."

"What?"

"Karlie's been in a car accident. It's pretty serious."
