——————————————————————

Amerie sat on her bed on FaceTime to Alice, the time difference was tricky. Amerie was in London for her Mom's tour while Alice was stuck in a foster home in Nashville.

"Amerie, I have tickets to London tomorrow your doing to see me, my foster sister bought them for her and her friend but she couldn't go so she's taking me instead, we're heading to the airport soon." Alice said excitedly.

"You are?" Amerie asked confused.

"Yes! She got VIP tickets so maybe we will see each other" Alice said happily.

"Yeah hopefully, I'll probably be with my Grandma, but I'll try see you"

"I'm so excited" Alice said happily

"Mhm" Amerie sighed.

"You seem off" Alice questioned.

"Oh, I'm just tired" Amerie sighed again.

"Okay, well I better get going see you soon hopefully" Alice cheered.

"Mhm" Amerie said waiting for Alice to end the call.

Amerie walked out of her bedroom in the cottage and into the living room where her Mom was sat watching Grey's Anatomy and cuddling up to benji.

"Hey munchkin" Taylor spoke softly patting next to the spot next to her on the couch.

Amerie snuggled up to her Mom and benji the cat.

"You okay? You're quiet today" Taylor asked.

"Yeah just tired" Amerie sighed.

"Get some rest tonight, I'll order kebabs tonight" Taylor said tucking Amerie's hair behind her ears.

Amerie woke up to her phone going off, Alice was calling her.

"Alice it's 7am..." Amerie groaned.

"I'm in London! Right now!" Alice said excitedly.

"You are? Where? When? How?" Amerie rambled.

"First of all yes, second I'm heading to the hotel, third I landed a like half an hour ago, lastly by plane obviously" Alice chuckled

"Sorry.. I'm just excited" Amerie replied.

"You didn't sound very excited yesterday.." Alice mumbled.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Amerie questioned.

"Nothing. Look I've got to get going the connection is poor here" Alice said hanging up the phone before Amerie could respond.

"Ughhhh!" Amerie sighed frustratingly, throwing her phone across the room.

"Shit shit shit" Amerie said rushing to check if her phone was cracked.

"Fuck sake" Amerie sighed looking at her cracked screen.

"Amerie what was that noise?" Taylor asked walking into the teenagers bedroom.

"Erm..." Amerie mumbled.

"How have you managed to break your phone?" Taylor questioned.

"I got angry.. and kind of threw it across the room. Now it's smashed... I always mess shit up" Amerie sobbed with panic laced into her tears.

"Hey calm down, things can be fixed or replaced.. I mean you needed a new phone anyways. But next time try not to throw it across the room" Taylor said soothing Amerie

"I'm sorry" Amerie mumbled.

"Hey.. don't be sorry. I think you sometimes forget I'm a billionaire and the best Mom in the world" Taylor chuckled.

"I know. Well erm Alice is here. She's going tonight.. she got tickets her foster sister bought them for herself and her friend but her friend couldn't make it so she's taking Alice. And we fell out that's why I got angry and threw my phone.." Amerie rambled.

"Calm down sweetie. You're going to be staying with your grandma anyways. If you see her just say hi ask if she's okay, don't let your emotions interfere" Taylor said pulling her daughter into a hug.

"I know" Amerie smiled at her Mom's gesture.

"I'll make us some breakfast and we will head to soundcheck at the stadium" Taylor said rushing into the kitchen holding Amerie's hand.

Taylor quickly turned on Gracie's new album and started to dance around the kitchen grabbing ingredients for ham and cheese omelettes.

"I just wanna be close to you!" Taylor sang pointing at Amerie.

Amerie quickly set up her phone pressing record. Filming their version of the close to you music videos was an excellent idea. She already had so many cute videos of her and her Mom dancing and singing around.

"Amerie can you whisk these eggs while I find a frying pan" Taylor asked in which Amerie immediately started to whisk the eggs, her favourite part.

"Okay salt and pepper here! I'll cut up the ham and grate the cheese, you keep whisking those eggs girlie!" Taylor chuckled.

"I think I've whisked them enough, do I pour in the milk?" Amerie asked.

"No, I'll do that so I can get the right measurements. Knowing you, you'll end up pouring the whole milk bottle in" Taylor chuckled taking the milk from Amerie.

"I'm not that bad!" Amerie sassed.

"Whatever you say" Taylor rolled her eyes. "Well these will be ready to fry soon, why don't you get the plates and utensils ready" Taylor asked.

"Erm what drawer?" Amerie questioned.

"Good point.. we seriously need to stop eating donor kebabs.. okay well why don't you keep an eye on these omelettes and I'll find the plates and forks." Taylor said starting to look through the drawers and cupboards.

"Alright" Amerie said standing in front of the stove.

Taylor walked behind Amerie putting her hair up into a messy bun.

"So your hair doesn't get in the food or the stove" Taylor said kissing her daughter's cheek.

Taylor looked through the cupboards and drawers finding out the utensils and plates.

"Found them!" Taylor said holding up the plates and forks. She got a tiny bit too excited that she found them that she accidentally dropped a plate on the floor and smashed it causing a loud crash.

Amerie covered her ears quickly and stood there in shock.

"I think you're cursed.. it's always fires breaking out or something getting smashed"   Amerie chuckled.

"Hey the fires were Gracie's fault!" Taylor sassed.

"Sure blame it on Gracie" Amerie giggled.

"Shit the omelettes, Amerie you were supposed to flip them!" Taylor said quickly flipping the omelettes revealing a burnt side.

"Oh.. erm well... about that.." Amerie said shying away.

"I'll just order breakfast" Taylor sighed.

"McDonald's?" Amerie asked hopefully.

"Yeah fastest delivery they have, I'll go order go find something to wear and find something for me to wear too and pack a bag for what you want to wear tonight" Taylor said opening her phone to order the McDonald's.

"Okay!" Amerie said rushing to her room.

                       ⋆｡ ﾟ☁︎｡ ⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡ ⋆

Amerie was dressed in a red and white checkered dress that Lana had bought for her when she last saw her. It was also paired with a matching bow and red ballet flats that were glossy. She also had frilly socks.

"You look nice, you know what would match perfectly." Taylor said reaching into her purse.

She pulled out her red lipstick and started to apply it to Amerie's lips.

"Beautiful, you're like a mini me. I'm pretty sure I have dress similar to that let me find it" Taylor said walking into her bedroom to find the dress.

Taylor changed quickly the dress was longer and less poofy but it was red checkered but a darker shade of red, she paired it with red heels and her classic red lip.

"I think we are good to go! But first pictures." Taylor said letting Amerie take the photos. Mirror pictures ofcourse.

The two Swifts were soon out the door and walking graciously holding hands to the black SUV parked outside.

The two Swifts were treated like princesses being helped into the car.

Taylor immediately blasted Gracie's new album. Us came on and Amerie chuckled.

They belted through the song dancing in the back of the car and goofing around.

"BABYLON LOVERS HANGING MISSED CALLS ON THE LINE" Taylor and Amerie sung loudly.

"I love you so much you that" Taylor said pulling Amerie into a hug.
