The Best Day : Taylor Swift Adoption

Chapter one: Suspisions

So there she was, a national superstar driving to Finlay house an orphanage on the outskirts of New York. Taylor had been visiting once a fortnight since she moved into her apartment.
Taylor parked her car outside and looked up at the house sighing, she wished she could do more for the children, she sang and donated money to the orphanage but her heart still ached for the children.

"Hello Miss Swift..." The head careworker interrupted Taylor's thoughts as she exited her car. "Your early today!" The older woman noted as she greeted Taylor at the door. "Oh yes- sorry I just thought I could- spend a little longer here today? And you can call me Taylor if you like!" The older woman nodded and opened the door and began leading Taylor inside "Oh Yes, I am sorry, I do like to keep things formal around here, it shows the children authority. But you can call me Kathy...." Taylor zoned out, not paying much attention to what she was being told. Instead she looked around, her eyes scanning the walls, she was pictures of the 'residents' and drawings on display.

A young girl approached Taylor grinning obviously internally fangirling "Hello, my name is Jennifer, I'm new here and I'm training to be a social worker and this is my first-" Kathy cut her off "Okay Jennifer, lets take Taylor to the playroom" Taylor was lead into the main room where most of the children were playing, "Hello everybody, Ms Swift is back! Let's all say hello !" Kathy said and all the children spoke together politely "Hello Taylor!" Taylor grinned, they were all so cute. Taylor glanced at Kathy who had a stern look on her face, "Ms Taylor" she corrected and the children all repeated her.

Taylor sat with the children talking to each of them and listening to their stories, then a commotion caught her attention. A little blonde girl was being pulled into the office by Kathy and she was making a fight about it kicking her legs and shouting, "You listen to me" Kathy said grabbing the girls arms tightly, "I asked you to come to the office for a chat- if was not a request" "LET GO-.. LET GOOOO" but Kathy was a whole lot stronger than her and was able to pull her into the room with one swoop closing the door quickly. The yelling quickly becoming barley audible across the hall.

Taylor stared at the closed door until her eyes met with Jennifer's. "What was that all about?" She asked quietly, "that's Brooklyn, you won't be meeting her" she said passively changing the subject quickly "So are you working on a new album?" Taylor shook her head " why won't I be meeting Brooklyn? I thought I said that I wanted to meet everybody and I've been here three times now and I haven't met her once..."

"She's banned from the playroom, that's why you haven't seen her. She stays in her room most of the day or outside. Away from the rest of the kids" Jennifer stood up and began to walk towards the door "What do you mean?" Taylor looked at her confused "she's banned from playing with the others? That can't be right!"

"She's a bad kid. A very bad kid, so if we separate her it's easier to control her,"
"Right, I've heard enough." Taylor said standing up "take me to her, I will meet Brooklyn and I'll make my own opinion about her." Taylor looked at Jennifer who had a scared look in her eyes, "so... let's go" Taylor said leaving the playroom and walking towards the office door. "Ms Swift! Please you can't! Kathy won't like this!" Taylor had to think quick, the look on Jennifer's face was suspicious and Kathy was more than rough with the small child, and obviously didn't think Taylor had seen her dragging the child into the office, but she had to make sure that Brooklyn was okay, and not hurt in any way. Everything was so suspicious.

"Why wouldn't she like it? She likes my donations right? And my visits? Well I had terms, and they were to meet all the Children, it's not fair to leave one child out, there are 23 kids in that room playing and your telling me that one child in this whole building is excluded from everyone else? I will meet her. Right now" Taylor's thoughts raced, she has never spoken to anyone in that way, but this wasn't right. Her gut feeling being that something didn't add up.....
