Everything Has Changed (taylor Swift adoption story) COMPLETED

40)What is Going On With You?!

Austin Pov

I sit with Paige on the ground for a little longer, before deciding that I need to figure out what the heck is going on with Taylor that made her this mad.

She has never ever gotten this mad at Paige before, like ever.

Not even during tour when she told her to do things multiple times and Paige still didn't listen.

Part of me thinks this goes beyond Paige.

"Hey Jo, I need to go talk to your mom, will you be ok?" I ask running my hand through her curly blonde hair.

"Yeah." She manages to stutter out in a whisper.

I grab the box that Taylor put all of Paige's favorite things in, Well all of them except her guitar and songbook, Taylor could never take away music, she physically wouldn't be able to.

I head out of Paige's room, the box in hand, surprisingly for all the stuff that Taylor threw in here it isn't that heavy.

Once I make it to the living room, Taylor has finished her cup of coffee, and doesn't look like she wants to cut my head off.

"Oh good you already grabbed that, thanks I was going to bring it down to the garage room." Taylor says putting her phone down on the coffee table next to her mug.

She isn't screaming anymore, but she isn't exactly sane right now either. What is going on with her ?

"No Taylor, that is not why I have this box." I say. "Why did you put all of Paige's favorite things in it, Why are you so mad at her?!"

"Because she told me, I don't need to know everything, that is going on with her. Austin I'm her mother, I am supposed to know everything that is going on with her. I am sick of the secrets and lies." Taylor says getting tense.

"Taylor it is healthy for people to have secrets." I say sitting down on the couch next to her. "Why can't she has secrets from you?"

"Because I am her mother Austin!" Taylor says defensively again. "I never had secrets from Mom, did you?"

"Yea Taylor I did. It is normal to have secrets from your parents. Mom was your best friend and still is your best friend so of course you tell her everything. Paige didn't have anyone to talk to before you became her mom. So she isn't going to open up that easily. Why is this so hard for you to understand." I say then notice that I may have gone a little to far, as Taylor is crying.

"Why are you trying to make me feel bad Austin?" Taylor says through her tears.

Shouldn't she feel bad? She completely overreacted.

"Oh, you already feel bad Teffy, cause I'm sorry but it doesn't seem like it to me, your daughter is scared of you right now that she is in the back of her closet, crying. I can't make her stop." I say. "Meanwhile you are out here and have been slamming everything you can get your hands on."

Taylor stops crying, I think I just made her realize, that she can be mad, but she defiantly overreacted. Paige has done worse than not tell Taylor everything, and she has never gotten this mad.

In my whole life with her, this is the worst I have ever seen her mad. And that is saying something after witnessing the Joe and Jake breakups.

"Austin, did I really mess up?" Taylor asks concerned.

Am I supposed to lie, to make her feel better, or tell the truth, because it's the right thing to do?

"Tay, I am not saying this to be mean to you, or to make you feel bad, but yes you did mess up." I say , "Why couldn't you have just sat her down and talked to her?"
