Taylor's POV
"Travis slow down." I say as my breath begins to shake and I press my back as far into the seat as possible.
"No baby this is fun." He says resting his hand on the console, now driving over 100 mph with one hand.
"Travis stop this isn't funny." I say closing my eyes.
"Tay we're fine I know what I'm doing." He says trying to grab my hand out of my lap with his free one.
"No stop." I say pushing his hand away.
"Taylor I know how to drive we're not gonna crash." Travis says looking over at me.
"TRAVIS THE ROAD!" I scream as we hit another car and everything goes white.
I jolt awake and instantly sit up panting. I place a hand on my heart and try to calm myself down.
I look over at Travis who's sleeping soundly next to me. What a bitch, he almost killed me. In my dreams but like whatever.
I take a deep breath, it's just a dream, it's just a dream.
"Tay what's wrong." I hear him speak.
"Shut up." I coldly say and stand up.
I walk to the bathroom and shut the door with some attitude. I turn the sink on and splash some cold water over my face and rinse my mouth out.
I dry my mouth and stare at myself in the mirror. Travis isn't a reckless driver, he never has been. I don't know why I'm having dreams of this, or I guess nightmares.
"Baby?" I hear Travis knock on the door.
I clench my fists at the sound of his voice, I try to remind myself that I have no reason to be mad at him. It's just a nightmare, he had no control. I keep reminding myself as I walk over to the door and open it.
"Sorry." I mumble trying to walk past him but instead he blocks me with his arm.
"Baby what's wrong? Are you sick?" Travis asks spinning me to face him.
"No I'm fine." I say looking anywhere but his eyes.
"Tay." He says and I hum in response.
"Taylor, look at me." He says and I ignore him completely and try to walk away again.
He grabs my jaw and forces me to look at him. God why is that kinda hot?
"What did I do?" He says with furrowed, angry eyebrows yet a soft tone.
"Nothing." I say closing my eyes but he's still holding my face in his hand.
"Taylor. Don't make me fuck it out of you." He says, and shivers fly down my spine.
"It was just a fucking dream so drop it." I say trying to push his hand away from me.
"Well it clearly involves me so I wanna know what happened." He says keeping a calm voice.
"YOU KILLED US BECAUSE YOU WERE DRIVING TO FAST! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR?" I scream as loud as I can at him and leave the bathroom, and run out of the bedroom.
I sprint down the hallway and into a random room far away from Travis so it'll take him a while to find me.
It just so happened to be my music room. I quietly shut the door and flip on a lamp, keeping the lightning low so Travis won't see the glow from outside.
Instead of writing a song I just walk over to the couch and lay down. Writing a song about this would be completely unnecessary.
I decide to grab a full notebook and flip through some of the pages of raw material.
I find one I like and start editing it to fit a certain vibe.
I hear footsteps walking near the outside of the door and I chose to ignore the sound of the door opening.
My back is faced to the door so maybe he will just go away.
I hear the door shut but I can tell he's still in here. I glance up at the glass of my recording area and see him leaning against the door with his arms crossed.
"What." I say after a minute or two.
I'm sure he couldn't see me but I wasn't even looking at my notebook, only his reflection in the window.
"Are you having dreams like that because you're scared of the way I drive?" He says sliding down the door and stretching out his legs to be flat.
I shut my notebook and turn around, bringing my knees up to my chest and picking at my nails.
"No." I say quietly.
"Baby I want you to be honest." He says tilting his head to the side.
"I am." I say looking at him.
"Stop picking at your nails sweetheart." He says and I drop my hands.
I stand up and walk over to him.
Once I reach him he puts out his hand I grab onto it. I sit down next to him and look at his face.
"It just scared me because all the sudden you were dead.." I say taking a pause because I've started crying even at the thought. "All the sudden you were dead and I didn't have you anymore, I never got to hold you or be held by you ever again." I say breaking down in sobs.
I cover my face with my hands. "Hey baby it's okay." Travis says hushing me and grabbing my hand and thigh, pulling me on top of him.
"It's okay." He keeps repeating as my tears fade out.
I lift my head off his shoulder and he puts his hand on my cheek.
"I'm here right now." He says with his eyebrows raised and I nod my head, wiping my nose with the back of my hand. "And you're here right now." I nod again flicking my gaze between his eyes as he calmly talks to me.
"And I don't know about you but I don't plan on going anywhere okay?" I nod my head and he smiles pulling me forward to kiss me.
"I love you so much sweet girl, unconditionally." He whispers as he stands up and I wrap my legs around his waist.
"I love you too." It always means so much to me when he says he loves me unconditionally because of the one speech I gave about unconditional love. Not that I'd ever stop loving this man.
"Let's go to bed now?" He says rubbing my hair and swaying side to side, like I'm a baby.
I nod my head against his neck smiling.
