Adopted By Taylor Swift (Book I)

chapter four

Tessa's POV  

' Taylor? ' I called and she instantly looked up at me. She was strumming the guitar, probably doing a new song. 

' Um, you know, do you tend to have some time because .. ' I grabbed my Netball Championship invitation card from my backpack and passed it to her. ' That ' .

It was supposed to be on that Saturday but some technical errors occurred so it had to be held on the day after. Taylor looked at the card for a moment then faced me. 

' I'm sorry Tessa. I have to meet up with Max Martin tomorrow ' she replied.

' But I can drop you off ' she continued then held out the card back to me, expecting me to take it. I just stormed out of the room without saying anything.

I lay on my bed then played with my hair. Seriously, I did not even thought Taylor would choose a non-family over me. 

Without shock, and as every mother would do so, there was a knock on my door. ' I'm not in the mood ' I grumbled but I don't think she actually cared. She turned the doorknob and walked in. I rolled my body sideways so that my back was facing her. She just sat on my bed and caressed my hair.

' Look, I don't think you would ever wanna understand why I can't go - '

' Yeah I don't ' I replied then covered my ears with my hand. I was not in the mood to listen to her excuses. She sighed, then took a deep breath.

' What time's it ? The game? ' she asked and I rolled my eyes though she could not see it.  I turned my body and sat up straight. 

' You really.. gotta look at the card ' I said, staring coldly. She raised her hands up, giving me the surrender look and I could not manage to not laugh.

' Now that's my girl. Okay, I'll cancel with Max and go to yours. But you gotta make sure you win ' she said then pinched with my cheeks. I laughed and smiled then after a while, she made her way out. I was not being cruel to my mom for making her cancel the meeting, but she had to be there for me or else I would not have the spirit to play. Even more, to win.

' Taylor wake up! ' I poked her body with my legs as my hands were busy curling my hair. She rubbed her eyes and started to open them slowly.

' Come on! We're gonna be late!' I started to raise my voice and sat on her. She made faces then pushed me off the bed gently, but it made my butt fell first. I stared at her coldly while she made her way to the bathroom. I ran into my room and grabbed my things quickly then walked out to the living room, seeing Taylor all set.

' Taylor.. did you shower? ' I asked , putting my hands on my hip. She grinned then grabbed the keys on the coffee table and walked out.

' You're so disgusting ' I mumbled along the way and she laughed. She raised her arms then came close to me, offering a hug. I pushed her away gently then walked briskly to the car. Taylor started the engine and started driving fast, since I was going to be late already.

' You know what? I think our love is good. We have a great bonding here. Don't you think ? ' Taylor suddenly said, breaking the eerie silence. I stared at her weirdly, not liking that fact. 

' It's bad because we have miscommunication all the time ' I stated blandly and she laughed.

' Well , everyone have that in their lives. But our love, I mean, look at our age, Tessa. We could be sisters ' she continued, and that made me laugh as I count our age gap.

' Whatever you say Taylor ' I said then jumped out of the car as we had already arrived. She kissed my forehead and wished me good luck as she headed to find a parking spot.

 Taylor's POV

I finally found a spot to park my car, but it was an illegal one because the only free spots were too far from the main entrance. I was not going to risk my safety, walking alone that far since I did not have Jack with me. I bought a diet coke at the mini store there and headed to the seating areas. Many fans asked for my autographs and selfies but as soon as the game was about to start, I stopped doing all that. I had to watch my Tessa. I waved them a goodbye and asked them to meet me after the games if I had time and they nodded. Thank goodness my fans were understanding.

I saw Tessa in the court, her jersey had number 13 printed on it. I started to cheer and scream for her name and everyone who surrounded me started to cheer for her too. I soon realized that they were the fans I had met a while before.

The game finally started and Tessa was the goal shooter. I was so proud of her. She made 3 shots in the first half and I clapped and screamed for her name every single time she scored. The crowds just smiled at my reaction.

It was finally the last game. Her team managed to get into the finals. Tessa was about to shoot but a girl from the opposite team grabbed the ball in Tessa's hands. Instead of being able to get the ball, the ball hit Tessa's face. Her nose started to bleed. I quickly ran down to search for a way in. By the time I arrived, they were already fighting against each other. Tessa started to pull the girl's hair. The girl's name was Nicky because that was what I saw on her jersey. Both of them started to push each other, and that was when somehow, Tessa fell down. She did not give up though, she then grabbed Nicky's shorts and pulled them down. Nicky was only left with her knickers. Nicky stared at Tessa with rage, then continued to curl up fighting again. 

People surrounded them but did nothing. They even seemed to be enjoying it. And then I stomped in with my high heels and stopped them. Cameras were already rolling by then. ' Tenessa Bridget Swift! ' I shouted then they both stopped hitting each other. 

' We're going '. Without second thought, I pulled her up and dragged her to the car.

Tessa got her nose treated. And her head too, which also bled. I kept my mood on being cold on the way home. 

' What were you thinking?! ' I started to raise my voice but then took a deep breath to calm my anger. 

' I don't like it when people do that to me. She was playing dirty ' she replied , giving me her annoyed look.

' But you have no right to hit her or so! You're grounded, Tessa. No phone until the results are out and I have to be satisfied by it ' I said. She made her way to her room and slammed the door shut. I just sighed and walked into a room where I usually wrote new songs.

I grabbed my guitar and played a few chords. After a while, I got the whole new song playing in my head.

My kiss, your cheek

I watched, you leave

Your smile, my ghost

I fell to my knees

When you're young you just run

But you, come back 

To what you need... 

This love is good

This love is bad

This love is alive

Back from the dead

I changed the part of my kiss, your cheek to my cheek, your kiss because I did not really want Tessa to find out that the song was for her, even though I knew she would know someday. I called my band and told them to meet me tomorrow to discuss about the song.
