Saving My Life

Family Bonding

As I wake up on the plane I see we are still on the plane. "Hey how long has it been?" I ask Ariana who is on her phone still holding a very peacefully sleeping Mackenzie. "About an hour."

"An hour?" I ask, shock in my voice. "Yes an hour. You didn't sleep as long as usual." As I look at Mackenzie I see her hair is slowly growing. It wasn't this long last time I say her. As she starts to wake up, Ariana hands her to me so she can get some rest.

I pick up Mackenzie's diaper bag that I brought because I knew we would find her and walk towards the bathroom. As I change her diaper I notice she is not speaking gibberish that much anymore. She's starting to form words like Tay.

My mom must've taught her that because I'm her real daughter. As I finish changing her diaper, someone knocks on the door. "Just a second." I say putting her pants back on and grabbing her along with the diaper bag.

As I open the door I see that it was Zach who knocked on the door. "Oh hey Taylor. I haven't talked to you in a while even though we been together for about 2 days." "Sorry about that. I was just really trying to find my little girl."

"No apologies needed. I understand. What do you say to me, you, Mackenzie, Alexa, Ariana, and Sean going to the park tomorrow? Before Ariana and Sean leave again?" "That sounds great. I'm gonna go feed Mackenzie now."

As I walk back to our seats I notice a bunch of people staring. "She's not my baby I'm just her cousin." That seems to clear the air as everyone turns back to what they were doing. As I walk back to my seat, Ariana, Sean, and Alexa are asleep.

Sitting down I decide to get Mackenzie to sleep so we can both get some rest before we land in L.A. As Mackenzie falls asleep while drinking her bottle, I put the bottle up and fall asleep myself.

As I wake up, I realize everyone else is awake and on their phones. Mackenzie is still asleep in my arms. I'm surprised she didn't wake up considering how tight my grip is on her.

Loosening my grip, I grab my phone out of my purse and get on Instagram. All I see is what happened to Taylor's show. As I am prepared to tell them where I've been, Ariana slaps my hand with her manicured hand making me almost drop my phone.

"What the heck was that for?" "We realized you don't have an agent because I've kind of been your agent. You are not allowed to post anything on Instagram until you have a real agent." "Why?"

"Because we need to get you one of those people who makes sure everything you post is safe." "Why wouldn't I post something safe?" "It's necessary for all young famous people." She says looking back at her phone.

As we land in L.A., I grab Mackenzie's bag and notice it's night. Automatically I think we should go get dinner and go home for movie night. Telling everyone my idea I see that everyone agrees and we head to the car.

As we all get in the car, I realize Mackenzie's car seat isn't in there and I realize we took it out to fit everyone in. Getting in the front passenger seat, Ariana looks at me funny and understands immediately when I point at the tiny baby in my arms.

As everyone else slides in, Sean starts the car and explains that we are going to Charleston's, my favorite BBQ restaurant ever.

Arriving at Charleston's I get out of the car and walk in with everyone else. As Ariana requests a booth, the waitress leads us to it while trying to flirt with Sean. As we sit down the waitress introduces herself as Breanna.

"Ya nice to meet you I'm Ariana that's Mackenzie, Taylor, Zach, Alexa, and Sean my boyfriend." Ariana says, sass in her voice. "What would you like to drink?" Breanna says clearly annoyed.

"I think we'll all get water thanks." As Breanna walks off Sean asks Ariana what that was for. "Well she obviously likes you and needs to know that you're mine." "Ari, baby you're overreacting."

"Oh I'm overreacting? Let's see how much I'm overreacting when you sleep on the couch tonight." Ariana says as she gets up and walks out. "I'm gonna go talk to her." I say getting up and taking Mackenzie with me.

As I walk outside, I see Ariana leaning against the building on her phone. "Ariana what was that for?" "He doesn't understand." "Yes he does Ari. You were kind of overreacting. You guys never fight, especially not in public."

"But girls are always hitting on him and I'm tired of it. He is my boyfriend and they need to understand that. While we on tour for that couple days one woman grabbed his leg and almost made him fall." "Well I'm gonna tell him to come talk to you." I say walking off before she can say anything.

"Sean, Ari wants to talk to you." "Why? I thought I was soverreacting." "Just go talk to her. Please?" "Fine." He says getting up and walking out. As Breanna comes back with our water's she is clearly looking for Sean.

"So umm where is Sean?" "He's ou-" Alexa tries to say before I interrupt her. "None of your business. Why are you looking for him?" "Oh umm nevermind." "Exactly. Can you get our food now? Thanks."

"We would like 5 rib dinners. Thank you." As she walks off Ariana and Sean walk back in with smiles on their faces. They must have something planned. "We already ordered. The food will be here soon." "Ok."

As Breanna comes back with our food, I give Mackenzie a bottle and we all eat.

While Sean pays everyone goes back to the car as I slide in with a sleeping Mackenzie.

As we arrive at home, everyone but Sean and Ariana go to bed and I know they have something planned as I drift off to sleep knowing everyone is happy.
