Taylor pov:

I was supposed to pick Joe up from the airport, but I had to help Addison. His flight was landing in a few minuets.

"Hey baby, what's up" Joe said as he picked up the call

"I won't be able to pick you up from the airport" I said 

"Is there something wrong?" He asked sounding concerned 

"I mean kind of, but don't worry about it yet."

"Ok, I'll see you in a bit, I love you Taylor" Joe said

"Ok, see you in a bit I love you" I said then hung up the phone

Addison POV:

Taylor seems like a really nice lady, I really like her kitty Olivia. Taylor was on the phone with someone

"I mean kind of, don't worry about it yet" She said to the person on the phone 

"Ok, see you in a bit I love you" She said into her phone then ended the call 

"Who was that?" I asked

"My boyfriend Joe," She said smiling "He's going to love you!" Taylor said 

"Addison?" Taylor asked 

"yes?" I responded 

"Could you show me your back?" Taylor asked

I really didn't want to, what if she hurts me even more. I hesitantly nodded my head 'yes' and she lifted up the back of my shirt, gasping when she saw the dried up blood.

"Who did this to you?" Taylor asked 

"My mummy" I said 

"Is there anymore cuts?" She asked and I showed her my stomach and head 

She just about started crying, I can tell that she really does care about me.

"Hey Addison, do you want to take a bubble bath?" Taylor asked 

That does sound pretty nice,

"Ok" I said 

"I'll go draw you a bath then" She said smiling 

"Olivaaaa" I called to see where she was

"Meow!" She said back and I went to find her and pet her 

After a few minuets Taylor came back downstairs,

"Your bath is ready" She said leading me to the washroom

Taylor pov:

Addison took her shirt off and I just couldn't believe that someone could do this to a little girl. She got in the warm water and looked so relaxed, I threw her clothes in the washing machine. 

I helped Addison wash off her stomach and back then helped her wash her hair. 

"Taylor!" Joe called out from downstairs

"I'm upstairs!" I yelled back and he quickly came up the stairs

"Hey baby" he said before entering the washroom

"Taylor, who is that?" He said sounding really confused 

"This is Addison," I said standing up then using a towel to dry my hands off

"Addison, if you need me just yell. I'm right in the hall" I said then took Joe out in the hall 

"Taylor, why is there a little girl in our washroom?" Joe asked 

"She was being trampled by paparazzi, I was just going to help her find her mum and dad but I saw that her back was covered in dried up blood, bruises, and cuts." I said and he looked shocked "I had to help her Joe, I couldn't just leave her there."

He started smiling "This is why I love you Taylor, you're so considerate of other people" Joe said giving me a kiss

I went back into the washroom and Addison looked like she was about to fall asleep,

"You ready to get out?" I asked and she nodded her head yes,

I grabbed a towel and picked her up out of the tub, I remember when I was little, my mum would stand me on the counter and dry me off, so out of odd instinct thats what I did. After I finished drying Addison off, I laid her in the middle of my bed. I went downstairs and got her clothes out of the drier and then went back upstairs and put them back on her. I heard footsteps coming into the room, I looked back to see Joe standing in the door way giving me a big grin. I tucked Addison in and then quietly closed the door. 

Joe and I walked downstairs to the living room and sat on the couch 

"I-" I said 

"I-" Joe said but I also tried to speak at the same time

"You go first" I said 

"I missed you" He said giving me a kiss,

The media doesn't know that Joe and I are dating yet. We've been keeping it very secretive since May, so almost two years now (i know this isn't true lol sorry). I love having a private relationship.

"I missed you too" I said kissing him back 

"What else were you going to say?" Joe asked 

"I'm sorry that I didn't ask you first about Addison, and that I didn't pick you up from the airport" I said 

"Hey baby, it's fine" He said cupping my jaw "I love you" He said making me blush a bit

In a few days Joe and I are planning on going public with our relationship, but I don't know if we should since we have Addison. Speaking of which I need to call CPS and see what they recommend, I get sad just at the thought of what Addison went through all because of her narcissistic mother.  

"What are you thinking about, Taylor?" Joe asked 

"I need to call CPS in a bit, I just really don't want Addison to go back to her mum" I said "I kinda want to keep her."

"Taylor, sweetheart. Addison is a human, not a stray puppy, a real human that if you keep you'll have to take care of for the next 15-20 years." Joe said "You still have Albums to make and World Tours to sing at, I'm not saying adopting Addison is a bad thing, but I really want you to think about it before you go making a split second decision." Joe said

He did have a point, I am making my 6th album Reputation, and I am planning on doing a tour next year. 

"I guess I'll go call CPS"

*btw if you don't know, in America CPS is Child Protective Services*

"Hello this is NYC CPS, my name is Alison. What are you calling about tonight?" 

"Hi Alison, I found a little girl outside my apartment today around 3pm"

"Alright, can I get a first and Last name along with an address?"

"Taylor Swift, West Broadwa-" I said but was interrupted 

"I'm sorry, I don't have time for prank calls kid." She said

"I am Taylor Swift, if you want I can come in tomorrow with the little girl I found" 

"Sure" The lady said sounding doubtful then hung up the phone.
