Taylor swift fanfic ~ adopted

Adopted ~ chapter 12

-Taylor

I was sat on the sofa watching a horror film, it was around 2 am and Ellie was supposed to be fast asleep when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I looked up and saw Ellie coming down the stairs crying. I walked over and hugged her. I knew exactly what had happened, I didn't need to ask her. Suddenly a gun shot went off on the TV. Ellie screamed and dived behind the sofa. I felt so stupid, I'd completely forgot to turn it off. I went over to Ellie, still shaking and crying, huddled up in a ball behind the sofa. She was hyperventilating. I tried to calm her down, I hugged her and told her it was just pretend, I told her she was safe here, I told her everything I could think off. But nothing worked.

She ran off to her room and I quickly followed her up the stairs and towards the closed door. I quietly opened the door to see Ellie was hiding under the covers still shaking and crying. I didn't know what to do, I'd never looked after children before and I didn't know what to say. I decided to text Abigail, maybe she'd know what to do. Half an hour Abi was at the door. I invited her inside and we went straight up to Ellie's room. Abi was great with kids. She went over to her and crawled under the covers with her. I couldn't hear what she said but it seemed to do something. I heard the tears stop and the bed wasn't shaking as much.

A/n: sorry these updates have been quite short lately but I'll try to make them longer soon.

I was wondering as well what you guys were thinking of this story, it's the first time I've ever wrote anything more than like a hundred words long so I've been struggling to keep it going so if you guys could comment what you think and any ways to improve it, it would really mean a lot ❤️
