Becoming a Swift: Adopted by Taylor Swift

Chapter 32

Taylor's POV

I swear I saw the girl's eyes light up when we turned the corner onto the busy street. There it was.

The American Girl Doll Store.

I braced myself as two little girls started pulling me towards the big building.

"THIS IS SO COOL!" Rose said.

"It's only a revolving door Rosie," I said laughing.

The girls both ran inside, and looked around in amazement.

"MOMMY LOOK AT THAT, AND THIS AND THIS!" Annie said pointing at everything.

We started to walk around when I started to realize how big of a mistake this was. It wasn't that the girls were going crazy with excitement, it's that the other girls (and their moms) were going crazy with excitement, over me.

After about being in the store 5 minutes there was a giant crowd of screaming girls around us. I tried to take picture with a few, and focus on the girls, but it was so crazy. After taking a picture with a fan, I look behind to me and realize the girls are missing. I frantically look around, hopping that they're just covered by a fan, but they're not. I try to walk around to look for them, but it's a pretty impossible task with the mob I have surrounding me.

"ANNIE? ROSE!?" I call repeatedly. I'm finally able to escape from the crowd, and I make a mad dash for the elevator. I quickly press the "close doors" button and hit the 2nd floor button.

I step out of the elevator, and pull my sunglasses and hat on so that hopefully there wont be another mob. I run around the floor looking for the girls.

"Mom, look at this!" I hear a cheerful voice behind me say.

I stop in my tracks and see a mesmerized Rose looking at a doll.

"ROSIE!" I scream, run towards her and embrace her.

"Don't run off like that again. Ok?"

"I'm sorry, I just thought that I should go ahead and look while you talk to your fans."

"Always stay by my side, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Okay."

"Where's your sister?"

"No idea."

I sighed and grabbed her hand. We searched the floor until we concluded that she must be on the next floor up. We got in the elevator, and went up. We searched the floor, until we found a balled up Annie, hiding behind a case of dolls.

"Annie?" I said releasing Rose's hand and bending down so I was at her level.

She jumped, not realizing we were there, and lifted her head from her knees. She revealed a red tear stained face.

"Oh Annie," I said picking her up.

She silently sobbed into my neck.

I was a bit confused. Normally Rose is the one scared of big crowds, not Annie.

"What happened?" I said softly into her ear.

"They almost crushed me Momma! They did, they did!"

Annie was very small for her age, and I could see how big crowds of people like that could be terrifying for some one whose 3 feet.

She started to cry harder, and I could feel her tears roll down my next.

"It's okay baby, I'm, I'm here. They're gone."

"Can we leave," I heard her little voice say.

I nodded, and with that, we left.
