delicate [1] | TAYLOR SWIFT

so!!! here's the first official chapter :) i hope you guys enjoy it!!

EDIT: Hey guys!! First off, I wanna say thank you for reading! It rly means the world! Second of all, I've been seeing a lot of comments from ppl complaining about spoilers. Thank you for reading the story and then choosing to read it again and leave comments like you don't even know how much that means to me and how happy it makes me
buuuut we do have a lot of new readers here as well, so if we can avoid commenting anything that might hint to whatever happens later on in the story, that would be great.
I can't go through the 2 books and check for every spoiler so please just be mindful
And of course, it goes without saying, don't comment anything rude/mean/racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/anything mean or at the expense of anyone else, no bullying, etc. Be nice! Thank you !
Love you guys<3

And welcome to the cult of Taia (as Lex would have it) <3

10:30 a.m.

Kaia held her phone facing the mirror. She was grinning nervously at her reflection, taking in deep breaths.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Her best friend, Mica asked in a slight French accent.

"Oui," Kaia said, the jitters clear as day in her voice. She grabbed the clippers from the bathroom counter in her New York apartment and handed her phone over to her older sister, Layla.

"You could wait a day or two, you know," Layla suggested, nervously running her hand over her freshly buzzed scalp.

"Think about this," Kaia said, adjusting the settings on the hair clippers. "British actress Kaia Browne shaves her head off after The Met Gala, OR, British actress Kaia Browne opts for the ultimate edgy look in accordance with the theme for the Gala!"

"The second headline does sound better," Mica agreed, running his fingers through his soft blonde curls. They were going to go next. "The first one just makes it sound like you had a meltdown."

"Exactly," Kaia breathed out, turning on the clippers. The buzzing sound made her heart flip. This was it.

"You're doing it for cancer, though," Layla made sure to remind her younger sister, as though she could ever forget the reason.

"And I'll make sure everyone knows it," she said softly. Her sister's hand fell to her shoulder and Kaia squeezed it three times. Layla smiled softly at her and without a second thought, she ran the hair clippers over her brown hair.

"Well, there's no going back now," Mica sighed and offered to take over.

Layla documented the whole process as Mica trimmed Kaia's hair until it was completely buzzed off.

Surprisingly, it looked... hot.

Kaia let out a nervous laugh, taking her phone back from her sister. She flipped the camera into a selfie view and let out a low whistle, running her free hand over her head.

"Putain," she swore in French, grinning widely. "This is going to be iconic."

"Dude, you're going to be the whole event," Mica told her, giving her shoulders heavy pats.

"Pretty sure that's going to be the hosts," she laughed in response. Kaia finally ended the video and got up, brushing loose strands of hair off. "Your turn!"
