Tied Together with a Smile

Chapter 49

Taylor POV

Charlie and I had gone to sleep at about 1 AM, after staying up to watch a few movies. However, I stirred due to someone shaking my shoulder. Slowly I peeled open my tired eyes to find a crying Charlie "Tay, the urges are back. I really need to go cut." She said the last part with such firmness I was instantly fully awake and alert. Switching my lamp on I instantly wrapped my arms around my girl, not just because I thought cuddles would help but also because I needed to restrain her. Despite her thrashing and the trembling in her frame I kept my hold, whispering sweet nothings to calm her. "Baby, can you talk to me? Why do you want to self harm right now?" Her breathing began to slow when I spoke to her "Um, uh, well I don't know. I think-actually it's kind of embarrassing, never mind." "Nonsense my love, what's going on in that pretty little mind of yours?" I gently coaxed and she sighed "Truthfully? This life. Babe I love it so much, I do. But the hate comments I've been getting, they're targeting my self harm. I keep on deleting them before you can see them but it's hard Tay. I don't know what to do." Tears reached my eyes, fists clinching discreetly. "Darling don't feel guilty for letting it get to you, this is new. They still get to me sometimes and I've been doing this for a long time now. I'm gonna post something right now because Angel this is unacceptable. C'mere, let's write this." I leaned against the propped up pillows, my girl under my arm comfortably so I could still type. Pulling up Instagram I began to type

Taylorswift13: this is seriously unacceptable guys. I've been seeing your comments. Coming after my girlfriend when she was kind enough to share something so incredibly personal with you all is just repulsing. I will not tolerate the pain your causing her, and it will end now. No more hiding behind a screen, no more hurting her because you want to hurt me. I've been doing this for 17 years, I signed up for this. She signed up to be with me, not for you all to attack her. If you think that your a swiftie, but you treat my girlfriend this way, here's a reality check, you are not. You will never be, and I hope that the universe treats you the way you seem to think is the correct way to treat people. Again, understand this, I will NOT tolerate this behavior. Your causing my girlfriend and I unimaginable pain. For those who are genuine, Charlie and I thank you for everything.

"Thank you Taytay." Charlie spoke, kissing the tip of my nose and then giggling "what?" I asked confused. "Well when I kissed your nose you scrunched it up all cute. Taylor? I know we've only been dating 6 months, but I've known since we started dating, I love you Taylor Alison Swift." My heart skipped a beat.

Hi! Here's this. Will Taylor say it back? Who knows?(I certainly don't haha) suggestions? Opinions?
