Saving My Life

The Mall

The Same Day: 3:00 pm

Taylor, wake up. We're going to the mall to make it up to you." Ariana says, shaking me awake.

She sits on the side of my bed and fixes her hair.

"But you didn't do anything. That's why I feel stupid and why you were laughing." I tell her, turning over so I am facing her but still on my pillow.

"I know, but I just wanted a reason to go to the mall. Can you believe Sean believed it?" She says, lifting her arms in a 'can you believe it motion'.

"Not really. Maybe he didn't. He just wanted to go to the mall too." I say, sitting up and getting out of bed.

"You're right. I'm gonna get the twins ready. Come help with Kaylee when you're ready." She says, smiling and walking out after closing the door.

I take a shower, do my makeup and hair and get dressed in a black and white striped shirt, a black skirt, black tights, and black leather boots.

When I'm ready, I go into the nursery and get Kaylee dressed in a pink and green onesie, pink jeans, and green and white Jordan's. Aly is wearing the same outfit as we put them in their strollers and put Kenzie in hers.

When Sean is ready, we walk to the mall and there are paps everywhere.

"Ariana, Sean, take a picture with the twins!" One of them yells, flashing their camera as the twins start crying.

"Stop! You're making them cry!" Ariana yells, even though everyone ignores her.

The cameras keep flashing and the twins keep crying.

"Taylor, over here! Where's Zach?!" Another yells, snapping another photo.

Finally, we make it to the entrance and hurry in. Ariana calls her bodyguard, Andrew and we wait by the entrance for him to arrive.

While we wait, we try to calm the twins down but it's not working. After 5 minutes, something unexpected happens. Kenzie comes to help.

"Aly, Kaylee, it's ok. It happens all the time." She says, patting their heads.

"Kenzie, that's so sweet." Ariana says as, surprisingly, the twins calms down, looking at each other, and smiling.

"Alright, Ariana, you called?" Andrew says, walking into the mall, using the tinted door.

They have those so the flashes can't be seen.

"Yea. As you may have noticed, there's paps out there. They attacked us and made the twins cry. I can't have that because it's hard to get them to calm down." She says, looking at the twins.

"Yes Ms Grande. I'll take care of it." He says, saluting her and walking outside.

Through the door, I can hear him quieting the paps down.

"Alright, let's get our shopping on." Ariana says, grabbing Alyson's stroller and leading us deeper into the mall.

"Hey Ariana, how are you?" Chris Brown says, stopping the stroller he's pushing.

"I'm good, Chris. How are you?" She asks, stopping us.

"Good. I'm doing some shopping with my little girls." He says, opening the stroller to reveal Royalty and her little sister sleeping.

"Looks like they don't enjoy it." Ariana says, chuckling lightly.

Sean shuffles his feet, obviously uncomfortable with their conversation. He's always been very protective of Ariana.

"They do. We've been here for about 5 hours." He says, calling a name and a man shows up, pushing a huge basket full of bags.

"Woah. That's a lot. Well, we've gotta go." Ariana says, noticing Sean looking awkward.

"Ok bye." Chris says, closing the stroller and smiling before walking away.

The man follows Chris out the door.

"Alright, let's actually go shopping this time." She says, leading us into the store.

5 1/2 Hours Later

"The twins are asleep, Kenzie is asleep, Taylor is about to fall asleep on the floor. We got pretty much nothing. Let's go home." Sean says, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.

"Sean, you don't have to do this." I tell him, feeling my eyelids starting to close.

"Yes I do." He says as I drift off to sleep on his shoulder.
