Adopted by Taylor Swift

Chapter 22

Liam's P.O.V

I'm sitting on my bed on my laptop checking my twitter feed and I see that Claire tweeted

Claire_bear_Swift: The only way to true love is to be able to see an imperfect person perfectly

That so sweet, hey I just realized that I actually only spent time with Claire for 5 minutes before the boys and I lost her so I really should talk to Harry and arrange for some time with her but only me and her.

"HARRY!!!" I scream then I hear footsteps coming more quickly than usual "Whats going on, is something wrong, are you reading the hate on Twitter again, man I told you to not read that stuff!" he said walking over to me. "No I'm not reading hate but I am on Twitter and Claire tweeted look," I say showing him what Claire tweeted

"wow that really sweet,hey what is her profile picture?" he replied I click on her profile then on her on her picture it's her looking down at a guitar in her hands that is in playing position but there is a light over her shoulder blocking out a bit of her face and almost all of the background.

"Wow I didn't know she could play guitar and is amazing at photography hey Niall plays guitar we should tell him NIALL," Harry said thinking aloud. Niall come into the room "what?" "Claire can play guitar!" the second after Harry said that Niall rushed to his side "how do you know?" he asked I gestured to the screen and he looked flabbergasted."We have to go see her!" he said we all looked to Harry and he nodded. Well there goes the only me and her time but whatever it's better than nothing. We walk down stairs "were going to go see Claire who wants to come?" I yell "me!" said Louis and Zayn at the same time they rushed to put on their shoes.

We all get in the car with Harry driving and really quickly we arrive at Taylor and Claire's house. we all walk up to the front door and Louis and Niall start arguing about who gets to knock and the rest of the boys try to get them to stop and while this is going on I knock on the door and quickly Claire answers "problem solved," I say to the boys Claire steps aside and opens the door wider for us and then we step inside. "Mom the boys are here!" Claire yells

Taylor comes down the stairs wearing black leggings and a long sleeve shirt that is cream coloured on the torso and teal on the sleeves. "Hey guys what are you doing here?" "we just wanted to hang out with Claire if thats alright with you considering we have only ever spent time with her that one time when we lost her," Niall said" oh yeah that fine I just got a call from my manager and I need to go see her but I need to talk to you Harry" she said.

Harry's P.O.V

I fallow Taylor up the stairs and into an extra guest bedroom that is right beside Claire's room Taylor started talking "so I have 3 things to tell/ask/inform you about," I nod indicating that I understand and to go on " so the other night I got a call from management and I have to go to Holland for 2 months but the dumbest part about it is that I can't bring Claire so I was wondering if you and the boys would be able to look after Claire until I get back." 'of corse the boys and I would love to look after Claire we love her like our own family." I said with a huge grin I my face.

" Thats great but now the other 2 things I hade to tell you one am I the only one who noticed Claire being really scetchy around Zayn," I shock my head telling her shes not the only one, "well I got a package from the orphanage with a lot of things from her past and it had a picture of her previous foster dad and he could be Zayn's twin so maybe he beat her and now she connects his looks/features to Zayn thinking that he will hit her just like her foster dad did, so we need to show her that Zayn will NOT hurt her." I started thing in and BAM I had a plan without tell Taylor I said "Taylor go get dressed nice and fancy then meet me down stairs I have a plan." She looked at me then left to go get dressed.

I walk down stairs and pull Liam aside ,"hey me and Taylor are going out can you stay with Claire and do something for me with her?" 'Yeah sure mate what is it?" "can out find out about her dad and make her fell comfortable with Zayn let her know he won't hurt her," "What hurt her why would she think that!?" "well Taylor got a package from the orphanage and there was a picture in there and it was her last foster dad and he could be Zayn's twin and we think he beat her so she thinks that he will hurt her like her foster dad because they look so much alike," "oh ok," he said then went into the living room and I stopped because Taylor was walking down the stairs in a baby blue and white striped dress with black combat boots I link arms with her and walk out the door and yelled "BE BACK LATE DONT WAIT UP!"

Liam's P.O.V.

I walked into the room and remembered why we came here in the first place "so Claire you play guitar right?" I said to Claire she looked at me with a confused look on her face "yeah how did you know?" "uummmm your Twitter profile picture," I said like it was so obvious "oh right well yeah I do know how to play my dad taught me." she said. Niall snorted "Your dad why would he teach you that and then you say that like it's something special when he just gave you up," Niall said "You know your right," Claire paused "8 YEARS 8 FUCKING YEARS OF BOUNCING FROM FOSTER HOME BACK TO THE ORPHANAGE AND THE ONLY THINK THAT MADE ME HANG IN THERE IS THE THOUGHT THAT SINCE MY DAD LIKED ME ENOUGH TO TEACH ME GUITAR THAT HE WOULD EVENTUALLY COME AND GET ME BUT ACCORDING TO YOU NIALL THATS NOT NOT HAPPENING SO THANKS YOU JUST RUINED THE ONLY THING THAT MADE ME HANG IN THERE AND NOT CUT OR TRY TO KILL MYSELF!" then she stormed upstairs. oh no what did Niall just do.
