"Just- can we just eat? We can talk about this another time. Right now, I'm hungry." Alex says. "I know what I was signing up for, I know being married to a A+ celebrity would come with lots of things. I love you both, I'm fine. I'm hungry."

"Security, bodyguards. We're getting you your own service tomorrow." Taylor says.

"Agreed." I say.

"Fine."

Luckily there was only about three paparazzi's inside but they were escorted out. Once we had finished our dinner we walked out.

Immediately we were swarmed with tons of paparazzi, flashes everywhere. I immediately covered Alex and Taylor, being taller than both of them was an advantage.

I guess they didn't leave but in fact called more people.

They both put their heads down as they walked towards the car. Taylor had put her arm around Alex, guiding her to the car.

I knew it would be chaos after the reveal, I guess I just underestimated just how chaotic it would be.

"Alex! Alex what's the baby's name!"

"Taylor do you still talk to Joe?"

"Taylor when are you releasing new music?"

"Natalie when are you releasing new music!"

"Alex how do you feel now that you've come out?"

"Natalie what's your comment to the haters?"

"Natalie! Harry Styles just criticized you again! What do you want to say?"

"Alex will you be able to make it onto the Olympic roster?"

"Natalie when are you going on your again?"

"Taylor how's life like living with your sister and her wife!"

I let Alex and Taylor get in the car first while I covered them from the cameras.

"You act like you're not famous." Taylor tells me as she gets in.

"It's called protecting." I say when I finally get into the car.

"We have bodyguards for a reason." Taylor says and I shrug.

"Babe are you okay?" I look at Alex who is in shock. "Babe?"

"I- we- How?"

"You get used to it. It's not normal, but at one point you learn how to handle it. How to almost think they're not there, but the flashes really make you remember they're there." Taylor says as she wraps her arm around Alex. "This is a lot for you to truly understand, I know you were famous before, but Alex, this is like absolutely different and I'm sorry you have to go through this."

"I knew what I was signing up for, I just didn't expect it to be so fucking scary." Alex says. "This was so different from Grammy night."

"It's completely different." Taylor says. "But you get used to it. With time you get used to it, the flashes, the screaming, fans, everything."
