The Hiddlestons

Ch 11

Sophie's POV
I never wanted Taylor to know that I was getting hate comments. I thought I could hide it. But I guess not. But what I can hide are my wrists. Taylor hasn't seen them. Yet. This girls just make it worse. I wish they weren't there. I keep looking at my scars. Wishing they would go away. These battle scars don't look like there fading, don't look like there ever going away. They aren't ever going to change. I hear a knock at my door and I pull my sleeves down before I let that person in. I open the door and its Taylor. She looks at how sad I am and hugs me. I gladly accept it. "Hey Sophie, why are you wearing a long sleeve?" She asks me.
Oh no, what am I supposed to tell her. Should I tell her or keep it my secret? I think I'll tell her. I pull up my sleeves and show her my wrists. She hugs me. "Sophie, promise to never do this to yourself again. You love me right?" "Of course." I say. "well love yourself the way you love me, because I love you as much as you love me." She says almost crying. I'm crying so much at this point. i don't know what I would do without Taylor. She isn't just a singer. She is my mother. Who loves me. And I need to not listen to the haters. It's just hard. I cry all night. No one hears but Taylor. Sometimes. I wish I didn't get all this hate.
Taylor's POV
After sitting there with Sophie, I hear Marie start to cry. She must be hungry. Again. I look at Sophie. "Can you get dad for me?" She says. I think that she just wants the company over being alone. I nod and get up. Tom hands me Marie and tell him the Sophie wants him. I get Marie situated and her tiny hand goes and grabs my necklace. She always does that and it's so cute. As she is eating, I cover her with a blanket and go see Sophie and Tom. All I see in them hugging. To talking or anything. Just hugs. Soon enough Marie stopped sucking and I burped her. I walk in with her. Sophie looks at me. "She wants to see her sister."
Tom's POV
When Taylor told me Sophie wanted me, a wave of worry went over me. I walk in her room and sit on her bed next to her. She hugged me and I just hugged her back. We sat there for a few. "Dad, don't be mad at me." She says. "Why would I be mad?" I ask. She doesn't say anything, she shows me her wrists. And starts crying. "Sophie, please don't ever do this. I promise I'm not mad. Would you want Marie to do this to herself?" I ask. "No of course not." She says. "Well, Marie looks up to you already. So make sure you keep yourself safe as if you were Marie." I say. And she just hugs me. Taylor walks in with Marie and hands Marie to Sophie.
Sophie's POV
I felt calm holding Marie. Maybe I should keep myself safe. For myself and Marie. I hope she never does this to herself. She's my baby sister. I will protect her forever. It doesn't matter how old we get. No one will ever hurt her. I won't let anyone leave her scarred. And I especially won't let anyone break her heart. Taylor and Tom leave the room and I sit in my bed with Marie. "Marie, I want you to know that I'm always here for you. I don't want you hurting. I will keep you safe. Forever and always." I say and she just cuddles into me more. "You can always come to your big sister." I say and kiss her on the forehead. She smiles just a bit. I smile too.
Taylor's POV
Tom and I left the room and left Marie with Sophie. She looked very calm with Marie in her arms. And it made me a bit more calm. I love Marie's and Sophie's bond. I've never seen such a tight bond. It almost makes me jealous. Anyways, Tom and I decided to make dinner together. We've done this before. A lot. Before I was even pregnant with Marie. This is the first time in a long time since we got to do this. Tom puts some music on and we decided to make pasta. As water was boiling waiting for noodles to be put in, I felt something trickle down my back. It's ice. I turn around and see Tom putting ice down my shirt. Oh it's about to go down.
Once Tom turns around and starts to stir the sauce, I pour freezing cold water on the top of his head. He turns around and I drop the cup. And run. I know places I can hide. As I'm running in the hall he catches me. And starts tickling me. We are both laughing. It felt like in the very beginning of or relationship. We go back down and finish cooking dinner. Once it's done, I run up the stairs to get Sophie. I open her door and see the cutest thing in my life. Sophie was asleep with Marie on her. Marie was asleep too. I took a picture for Instagram. Captioning it "my two girls. I wouldn't change it for anything." I then wake Sophie up.
Next day// Sophie's POV
Today is my first day of high school. I'm going to be one of the youngest. But I turn 14 in a couple months. I'm so scared. I'm scared of being bullied. I'm scared of being judged. I'm scared of everything. I hear a knock at my door. Taylor walks in. "Hey, you excited about high school?" She says and smiles at me. "Kind of. I'm really scared." I say and look down. "What are you scared of?" She asks me. "I'm scared of being bullied. I'm really scared of being judged by everyone. I'm scared no one is going to want to be my friend." I say and almost start crying. "Look at me. You are going to be okay. I promise Sophie. I won't let anyone hurt you." She says and hugs me.

So far this isn't so bad. I don't know what to do though because I don't talk to people that well. I'm really scared to. In one of my classes, I saw a girl that looked pretty nice. I got the courage to go up to her but as I was about to say something, she said "where did you get those ugly looking shoes." in a very rude tone. I look down at them. They are my favorite pair. "Also, what's with the outfit? Like what are you wearing?" She says and laughs and walk away. Soon the bell rang and it was time to go home. "How was your first day of school Sophie?" Taylor asks me as I get into the car. "It was okay." I say. "What's wrong Sophie?" She asks me.
