Taylor Swift's Point of View
I sigh as I lay next to Joe in our bedroom. My eyes are wide open as I stare at the ceiling. I'm not tired, all I'm thinking is about what Olivia said to me.
"Taylor, why aren't you asleep?" Joe asks me.
"How did you know?" I ask.
"You never sleep on your back. You sleep on your sides."
"I just have a lot on my mind."
"Like what?"
"Olivia. She told me something and I don't know what to do. I want to kill her but the other part of me still loves her."
"What did she do?"
"She's pregnant. She told me she was pregnant today. I was so mad, furious, I wanted to kill her, but instead I played the piano. I knew if I let myself feel or act, I might actually kill her. So I just played music for hours until I lost track of time. I'm still mad but I don't know what to do."
"She's pregnant?"
"Yup." I pop the p at the end as I exhale.
"The Lucas boy."
"The Lucas boy." I accompany this with a long sigh.
"Have you talked to Liv?"
"No. I don't want to deal with her. I just want to put her in a freezer and take her out when I'm ready to deal with it. Is that bad to say?"
"Just a little." The both of us laugh and we turn to look at each other.
"So, what are we gonna do?" I ask.
"I guess we're gonna be grandparents...I don't know."
"God, I can't believe I'm in my 30's and I might be a grandmother."
"Might?"
"Maybe she'll get an abortion."
"Do you want her to?" Joe asks.
"It's just that I don't want her to have the same life I did."
"Are you saying you don't like your life?"
"No I'm just-I love Liv but I wish I would have had her in better circumstances. I wish I wasn't 17 and had money to give her what she wanted. I hate seeing everything happen again."
"Taylor, you're not like your mother. Unless you have plans to kick her out."
"God I wouldn't kick her out. She needs us so she can know what the hell she's doing. She just frustrates me."
"That's cause you're a little of a control freak."
"I'm not a control freak!" I exclaim.
"Taylor, you're mad because she did something stupid and you couldn't control it. You've been trying to have that girl under your demands for weeks."
"She won't listen to me!"
"She's 16! Of course she's not going to listen to you."
