The next after Travis arrives in Sydney.
Taylor's POV
I wake up next to Travis and open my eyes and I move slightly and I get this horrible shooting pain up my back. I try and sit up but I can't, if I try and move I am in immediate pain in my lower back. Travis opens his eyes when he sees/ hears me whince in pain. "Are you ok"he asks. "Trav, I've done something to back I can't move and when I do, it's excruciating pain in my lower back, I say as I try and move and shriek at the pain. Travis asks if he can help
Turn me on my tummy. I let him. He turns me and I scream in pain. "Oh darling" he says. "Trav I'm in so much pain" I say nearly in tears. He reassures me with a kiss and says " can I see if I can help relieve it any way. I carry tape and shit with me He takes my shirt and bra off and starts feeling. "Let me know when it hurts" he says as he kisses my neck. He finds the point of the pain "THERE" I scream. "Yep", he says. "It's a disc". You must have done it at the show last night". "My back did feel sore after" I say. You need a physio says Trav. I get Travis to get my phone
Austin's POV
My phone starts ringing and it's Teffy, that's weird I think, she would never call me. Hey Tef, I thought you and Trav would still be in bed!! Austin, it's Trav can you come to the room. Taylor is not good.. on my way now I say as I interrupt him. I could hear her crying in the background. Thanks Travis. "Where you off too" asks dad. "Just for a walk I say.
I knock on the door, "hey man come in" says Travis. "Whats the matter?" "Her back" he says with a concerned look. I go in and Taylor is flat on her back. "She can't move and I think we need a physio". "But I was thinking, can you help me get her ip and get some water and pain killers in her" Says Trav. "Yep, good idea" I say. I know teffy and she's probably mid panic attack. But I can see that Travis knows that.
" Hey baby" says Travis. "I've got some Panadol here and Austin's going to help you up too. Says Travis. "You didn't tell mum and dad? Says Teff "nope not yet". Let's get you up. I say. We get up and she winces and cry's. Trav grabs a wheat bag and we carry her to the lounge. She takes the painkillers and puts her head on my chest " Hi Austin"
She says, "hey Tay". " my back is fucked" she says "I know Teffy, Trav is amazing, he is just ringing physios" "should I tell mum and dad yet"! She asks, "no" it's all good. I say
Trav comes over and I immediately start to move "no aus, stay there". "Physio is coming very soon" he says. I ask Travis if we can talk." Mum and dad are probably going to get sus soon". So I might have to tell them. We hear a knock at the door. I open it, it's the physio and dad. "Shit, I think to myself.."Austin, Dave told me everything, not telling your mother yet".
Travis POV
I'm laying with my girl, I don't like seeing her like this at all. She's so fragile. The physio comes over and the doctor that her father organised and they have a look at her back. She looks at me in tears from the pain. The doctor says, she's herniated probably 2 discs in her back. The physio says, "he can start doing some work to get her moving but warns it will be painful.
30 minutes of her being in absolute agony is worth it because she can now stand up. But the doctor says " you may have to take it easy on stage", Taylor does not seem happy about this. I look at her face and looks like she might cry, "no, I can't cancel" she says.
Taylor's POV
I hear those words and I feel Travis put his hands on my waist and stroke my arm. "Could we employ Dave to be backstage?" My dad asks. " we can see if it works" said the doctor, "but I would be careful with movement" he says. The physio recommends Travis give me a message before the show and shows him how to do it. "Not a problem I can do that" and he also shows me stretches too, but Trav will help me up and down. After, everyone leaves Trav and I asks if maybe I would like to get some fresh air and coffee. We go down and go for a walk. I start crying as I'm so anxious about this back, "hey hey, what's the matter baby?" Says Trav. "I'm just very overwhelmed with my thoughts and feelings about this back thing". I say. He brings me into him, whilst holding me by my waist and kisses my forehead and says " baby, I'm here it's okay" we sit down on a bench seat and I cry on his hoodie while he is bringing me closer to him. He kisses my forehead softly.
