Shopping

(Elizabeth's perspective)

I wake up to the smell of bacon. I can't remember the last time I slept in. I can't believe I live here with Taylor and I have my own room?

It feels so weird not hearing any of the other kids back at the orphanage anymore. It used to be so loud and everyone was in each other's space.

Now it's so quiet.

Once I get dressed I walk downstairs and into the kitchen Taylor making breakfast. Meredith and Olivia are staring at Taylor hoping for her to drop something.

"Hey, sleepyhead. Did you sleep well?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, I haven't slept that good in a while," I said.

Oh, shoot. I hope she doesn't ask anything.

"Well, that good," Taylor said.

"How about we go shopping today?" Taylor asked.

"Sure! But what about those people with the cameras?" I asked.

"Let me call my security so we will be safe," Taylor said and walked out of the kitchen.

(Taylor's perspective)

I take out my phone and dial in my security guard number. My phone rings "Hello Taylor." Dave said.

"Can you come and pick me up? Also, can you bring extra backup? I just adopted a daughter yesterday and we need to get her some closes. The public doesn't know about her yet." I said.

"Sure I'll be there in a few minutes," Dave said.

"Okay see you on a few," I said and hung up.

I walked back into the kitchen "We are leaving to go to the mall in a few minutes." I said.

"Okay," Elizabeth said. 20 minutes later the doorbell rings.

"That's them," I said to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth and I walk to the door and open it. Dave is standing in the doorway with a few other large men.

"Elizabeth this is Dave. My security guard." I said to Elizabeth.

"Hi," Elizabeth said quietly.

"Don't worry they won't bite. And that is Nick your security guard. He will be with you at all times. I will be with you too. It's just for safety reasons." I said.

"Okay," Elizabeth said.

"Let's go," I said and we all went into the tinted car.

When we were driving to the mall my driver Dylan said "We have company". I turn and see a car following us.

"Can we lose them?" I ask.

"I will try," Dylan said.

We took a different way we usually go and made a few turns. I looked back and I see the car's gone.

"I think we lost them," I said.

We pulled up to the mall and Nick and Dave hoped out of the car first.

"Hold my hand like we did at the airport okay?" I asked Elizabeth.

"Okay," Elizabeth said.

The door opened and we ran into the mall.
