Chapter 77

Now that Owen's mystery had been solved, I had been counting down the days until we flew to London to see Niall again.

If Owen was ever awake when I face timed Niall, I would make sure to bring Owen to the screen so he could see his dad. 

He was crying less, and if he ever did start screaming, I knew exactly what to do. 

I had decided to keep this little secret between Owen and I. Niall didn't have to know about it, because it would only make him feel worse.

Finally, the day came around when Owen and I were going to go to Taylor Swift's apartment for a visit.

I had spent so long fantasizing over what it would look like or if she would have any of her celebrity friends inside when I arrived. Now I would finally get to find out. 

Just like how any fan prepares for a concert, I bought her entire discography on iTunes and got a better feel of what she was like. It was funny listening to her older songs and then comparing them to her newest songs. 

I packed Owen's diaper bag and put it in the stroller. I prayed that Owen would be able to stay calm during the visit and didn't ruin it for the both of us. 

I picked up some flowers in a pretty vase to bring to her as a hostess gift. I felt awkward walking in empty handed. 

She texted me her address and she lived about twenty minutes away. 

I promised myself I was going to do whatever it took not to bring Owen on a train- I didn't feel comfortable. So I decided to drive. 

The thing with driving is that now I would have to find a place to park and I might have to pay and then I have to worry about getting Owen in and out...

Everyday was an adventure. 

Lucky for me, Owen had a big poop before we left so I didn't have to worry about him exploding all over Taylor Swift's 20 million dollar apartment. 

I pulled up to the curb that was right across from the address she gave me and looked around. There had to be security inside. I have had some bad experiences with security, and I was not going back to jail.

I also didn't want my car to get towed.

I sighed. I had nothing to worry about- Taylor was expecting me, wasn't she?

I pushed open the car door and pulled out Owen's carrier with the diaper bag, along with the flowers I kept in the cup holder. Before I went in, I looked at my reflection in the rear view mirror. 

I had actually put some effort into my appearance today and had on a blue sundress with some makeup. I couldn't help but feeling a little bit hopeless knowing I was about to present myself to one of the world's fashion icons.

Walking across the street, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. I always felt nervous when I was meeting new people, and this was no exception. I also didn't want anything to go wrong or for me to embarrass myself. 

I could see my reflection in the glass of the entrance door and took one last deep breath before pushing the door so I could go inside. 

Just like I expected, there was a man dressed in black with a shiny badge sitting in a chair just inside the door. 

He looked up at me and I lost my breath for a second.

"I'm Alyssa," I decided to say. "Taylor and I made plans for today."

I held my breath for a response. I didn't want to get kicked out now. 

"She told me you were going to stop by," he said in a low New York accent. "I'll let her know you're here. The entrance door is to the left."
