Taylor's POV- oh I am so nervous to meet everyone and the cameras..... I think I'm having a panic attack.
Travis: are you here yet? 🩷
Taylor: Yes, I might have to leave I'm feeling like I'm about to have a panic attack.
Travis : oh baby, walk out the suite and go down 3 flights of stairs. Tell me when you are about to walk down stairs
I can my heart rate is going up and I feel dizzy and shaky. I get to the stairs
Taylor: sfsirs
Travis: ok are you right to walk down them,
Taylor: (didn't answer)
Travis: I'll come and meet you
I slowly walk down, feeling nauseous dizzy and crying hysterically. I get to end of the 2nd flight of stairs and I can't keep going. I sit down and start crying with my head in my hands. Travis walks over and makes eye contact with me.
Travis's POV
I'm walking up the stairs and I hear crying and dry heaving. i walk up the second flight of stairs and see Taylor crying with her head in her hands. She looks vulnerable. I sit down next to her and tell her that it's me and then I start massaging her back. She feels tense in her back. I stroke her hair... I've never seen her this vulnerable. After 10 minutes she sits up and looks at me she feels hot and looks out of it. "Hey beautiful, how are you going?" She lays on my lap and I kiss her head. I rub her back allowing her to relax into my lap.
I get a message from Pat
Pat: are you all good Trav? coach just asked where you were 🙄
Travis: I'm currently sitting in the stairwell near the lockers, my girl isn't coping with the cameras taking photos of her. She's had a big panic attack. Coach Reid will need to wait
Pat: does she need water or a wet towel or a blanket?
Travis: a blanket and water she says
Pat: coming
Up comes coach Reid, a medic and Pat. Reid hands me a blanket and Pat sits down next to me, while the medic is helping her. Pat goes " Is she a bit overwhelmed with the attention.
"Hey baby I say to her, how are you doing? She takes a second and then slow sits up I put my arm around her. She says out of breath "I got really overwhelmed with all the cameras and people looking at me Trav, I feel awful for you" I reply "you are never to feel awful baby" as I kiss her forehead as she rests her head on my shoulder. She's looking brighter but looks exhausted. What do you want to do now darling I ask, we can sit here for a bit longer or you can go back up or I can hang with you in the massage room while get my pregame massage.
Jason: I can't find Taylor, Kylie and I worried
Trav: she's with me bro, had a huge panic attack the cameras were too overwhelming, I think it's PTSD from her last relationship. We are just sitting on the make out staircase.
Taylor says, I don't know if I should stay, I'm already a burden to you". I look her in the eye and say
"I need you to stay baby, for me" can we sit here for a little bit longer.
*** my phone pings
Jason: I'll come down buddy, Taylor is just Kylie remember. I'll see if Ky wants to come too.
Trav: yes, I do now, that might help somehow.
Taylor then says "hey Trav, can you tell Kylie and Jason, Kylie said a similar thing happened to her and I think I want to go up for you. I kiss her on the cheek. "Are you sure?" I say.
Taylor then says "I think I'm sure" and kisses me..
Jase and Ky come down, Ky tells Taylor her story. They share a hug.When Taylor hears that story I see have my girl back.
"I think I'll go up again babe".
"We will make sure she is ok" says Jason
I look at Taylor and hug her tightly.. "I love you" I say. I love you more than anything babe says Taylor and she goes up to the box.
It's game time boys says Pat as Travis walk in
