Chapter 15: clean
I can't stop crying. I want to. But I can't. Today is Sunday and Taylor said today is the day we are announcing the adoption weather I like it or not. The media has been going crazy about me lately. I'm just surprised nothing has gotten out yet. Taylor said the live broadcast is going to start at 10:00 am. I'm really nervous. I don't think I'm ready to be called a slut everyday just like Taylor is. I hope it doesn't get that far. As of right now, the media doesn't need to know anything about Braxton. I hope nothing gets out about him either. Yesterday he texted me saying he would be watching the live broadcast. And that makes me so much more nervous! I got out of my bed. It's only 8:30 but I need to get ready for the broadcast. Taylor said the fans are most likely going to want to talk to me and ask questions. So I need to be ready. I went to my closet. I really don't feel like getting dressed. I got out yoga shorts and a white tank top. That should be good enough, right? I changed and went to the bathroom to do my hair. I'm to lazy to actually do anything cute. Messy bun it is. And I wouldn't be doing make up today... But millions of people are going to be seeing me so I'd better be safe and put some on. I'm done. It's 9:30. Only 30 minutes until the live broadcast. I don't want to do this! I went over to my phone to get on Instagram. But I got a thousand texts... From Braxton.
"You know I love you right?" "Please give me another chance" "I know I told you to forget about me but I can't stop thinking about you" "I love you. "
Why is he doing this? I ignored the messages and got on Instagram. Tons of swifties are excitedly freaking out about the broadcast. I remember how I used to be that excited.
"Hayden! It's time!" Taylor yelled.
"Coming!" I ran out of my room.
I got downstairs to see Taylor about to start.
"Come sit. " she said.
I sat next to her on the comfortable couch. Then she started.
"Hey guys! It's Taylor! And I have some very special news to tell you!"
She paused for a minuet. Lots of comments started to pop up.
"Ok guys! I'll tell you! Calm down..."
Taylor looked at me.
"So everybody knew about the biggest swiftie contest I'm assuming. Well, here is Hayden, the winner of it. And I know it has been longer than 2 months that she's been living with me. Lots of people have been making up rumors. I'm here to tell you what's really happened. Some complications have happened and so I adopted Hayden! I expect you all to take Hayden into your life's and for all of you to be very kind to her. Does anybody want to say anything or ask any questions?"
The comments started popping up quicker. I read a few that said I'm pretty.
"Thank you to everybody that's calling me pretty!" I said happily.
After I answered some more questions, I saw a comment that had the name of Braxton beside it. And it says "I love you. " Taylor clearly saw and decided it became time to say goodbye.
"Ok guys! I love you but we have to go! We are very busy today! Bye!"
I waved.
"I can't believe he had the nerve to do that!" Taylor said after turning off the broadcast.
"Yeah, well I think that I'm finally clean. " I smiled.
"Do you have to make everything you say be a quote or song lyric?"
"Yup!"
Today has been fun so far.
