Taylor's POV

I'm relaxing on the couch while Claire does my nails for the shows this weekend when my phone starts to go off nonstop.

- It must be important, Tay. - Claire says handing me the phone.

- Oh no, it's Tree. - Already waiting for something bad, I answer her but put on speaker so my sister can keep manicuring me.

- Hey Tree, good evening.

- Hey Taylor, sorry for disturbing you at this hour.

- It's okay. What happened now?- I sigh.

- You know, your fans are excited about Speak now Taylor's Version release so... a few of them are a little over excited and dragging John Mayer online, waiting for one of the 'from the vaults' to destroy him.

- Come on, there's none about him in the vault!

- I know, honey, but he doesn't, so his manager might have contacted me asking if you could, in his words, 'control your freaking kids'.

- He did what?!- I scream and curse, forgetting Claire was in front of me.

- I know he's an ass but a battle with John, at this time of your life, is a waste of energy. He is barely a musician these days. - Tree says but I'm fumming.

- I should've told everything in Dear John like I did with Jake in all too well, six minutes is too short for this piece of shit. I should've written about all the times he pressured me to have sex to the point I was afraid of him and started to avoid him. - I say and then I see Claire wide-eyed and take a deep breath. - Sorry, Claire, I forgot you are listening.

- No problems- she mumbled.

- Did you want to discuss it later, Taylor?

- No, it's okay, she already listened to the worst. Well, I guess I'm singing Dear John on the 24th then and doing a small speech about how they don't need to drag anyone online.

- Excellent choice, this way you don't need to directly post something. Can you send me a note with your speech before you do it so I can proofread?

- Sure, I will do this right after the show on the 23rd. But just between us, he deserves all the memes and jokes fans do with him.

- I know, honey. I'll let you rest now, bye bye!

- Okay, bye.- I say and hung off the call - Sorry about that, Claire.

- It's okay, but I'm confused...

She pauses and I know I'm screwed. She's so curious and innocent but also has so many smart questione.

- Wasn't he your boyfriend ? Why didn't you wanted sex?

Oh, that's a valid question. I can use the opportunity to talk to her about consent.

- Well, when you date someone, like in a serious relationship, it's natural that the other gain your trust, you feel more comfortable, and then you might want to have sex but for that to happen both have to be on the same page about it. I liked John but I didn't trust him enough to have my first time with him, did you understand, honey? I said no, and he didn't respect that, he kept pressuring me to change my mind. That's called harassment, it's abuse. That's why we have this thing called consent. If one of them did not consent is called sexual assault. And if one of them is a minor is sexual assault too, even if the minor agrees because you can't legally consent before 18 yo. Did you understand, honey ?
