Never Known Love

Chapter 15

*Jade's POV*

Today mum and dad had a concert. Well, its mum's concert and dad is opening up for her. We were in a black SUV, driving to the arena. Yes, arena. We got there, and there was a swarm of fans we had to walk through. Did I mention I'm slightly claustrophobic? Well I am. I started to have trouble breathing, and Mum took me in her arms and started rocking me back and forth. She sort of helped, but I was still overwhelmed. We stepped out and a large man came up. I whimpered and hid behind dad, scared of what that man could do. Dad bent down to my height, I am very short, never having enough food does that to people, but he bent down and said- "He wont hurt you Jade, he is a very nice security guard, he protects us, not the other way around." he said in my ear. "Okay," I said quietly.

We were walking through the crowd when I felt someone grab my arm. I was dragged into the crowd, and someone pulled my hair. I started screaming, hoping that scary security guard could save me. Girls were screaming at me, saying I was ugly, an attention seeker, fat, and disgusting. They said I didn't deserve mum and dad and that my new parents just felt sorry for. Someone started to punch me, and soon everyone joined in. I was starting to go unconscious, when I felt someone grab my arm, blocking anymore hits from me. That's when the world went black.

*Ed's POV*

We were going through the crowd, when I didn't feel Jade at my side anymore. I heard a scream, and instantly whipped my head around. I saw Mark, trying to go through a circle of girls. I heard more screams and decided to go in. There were a swarm of girls all around about 8 other girls, one of them getting beat. I catch a view of Jade's brown hair, and see that she is the one getting beat. I see her eyes droop, and I grab her. I was holding her Cinderella style, getting to the door as quick as possible. We got inside and Taylor rushed over. "Oh my god." she whispers seeing Jade's state.

Jade was unconscious. with many bruises all over. Her hair was all ratted up, and she had a busted lip. By the looks of it, they slapped, punched, and kicked her. She had bruises over her eyes, cheeks, arms, legs, and ribs. We lay her on a couch and call for a doctor. Jade looks frightened as she slept, probably nightmares, but couldn't wake up. She wasn't in a coma, but she was definitely knocked out cold.

The doctor came up and checked her out, nothing was broken, but she definitely would be sore tomorrow. I couldn't believe our fans did that. I didn't want to leave her, but I had to go open the show. I sang Give Me Love,  The A Team, and Small Bump. At the very end, I made a little speech. "Just so everyone knows, yes, Taylor and I did adopt Jade. We wanted to start a family, so we adopted her. We didn't do it because we felt sorry for her. If you don't respect our decision, then keep it to yourselves. Beating her up before the concert wont stop us from keeping her. Please don't hate on her, she is a beautiful girl, and we love her, so please respect that. And now- the one and only- Taylor Swift!" I then rushed back to the couch with Jade, who was still asleep, but I didn't care. She was my new baby.

*Taylor's POV*

I cant believe my Swifties would do that to poor Jade. I really didn't want to go perform, but there were people out there that had nothing to do with this and shouldn't be punished because of it. I loved Ed's speech and I decided to make one too after The Best Day. "Everyone, please don't hate Jade. She is a very sweet and beautiful girl and I love her like my own daughter, and please don't hurt her. She is amazing and we wanted her to be in our family. We didn't adopt her for publicity, or because we felt sorry for her. We adopted her because we wanted a family, and that was a way to get one. We love her, so please accept that. Thank you." I then continued on with the concert until I ended it with I Knew You Were Trouble. I then walked off stage to see Jade awake. "Thank god! I'm so sorry they did this to you baby. It will never happen again. I promise. I love you." I said. "I love you too." she whispered back.
