Sorry for any typos!

This started out as just a chapter about a stalker but I decided to change it a little bit.

Summary: Taylor just wants to be with Travis after the news about Vienna, and even though Travis is in the middle of training camp, he does what he can to support her.

Trigger Warnings: talk of the events of Vienna

...............

"I'm so sorry, Taylor." Tree sighed, watching as Taylor's face crumpled up before tears started leaking out of her eyes and she broke out into sobs.

Not long ago, the plans that were supposed to take place were revealed. Tree didn't believe at first that this actually happened and hated having to be the one to tell Taylor, knowing how heart broken this was going to make her.

After a few second, Tree walked forward and wrapped her arms around Taylor's shaking form. "Shh." She whispered over and over again, attempting to calm down the crying blonde.

"Why do people do this?" Taylor croaked out, her voice going dry.

"People are cruel, Tay." Tree replied, rubbing her back in circles.

And then Taylor mumbled something that tree couldn't quite hear. "What, Tay?"

"Is this my fault? Do people hate me and my fans so much that they want to kill us?" She sobbed and Tree felt her heart start to crack.

"Oh, honey. I'm sure they didn't want to cause of you. They did it 'cause they wanted to kill people, and you just happened to be the closest target. But this is in no way your fault, okay?"

Taylor sniffled. "Are fans mad that the show is cancelled."

Tree shook her head. Even though there probably were some fans who were gonna complain just to complain, she wasn't gonna tell Taylor that. "No, they're just praying that you and everyone is okay, and they're thankful that this was stopped when it was."

Taylor sniffled again. "I want Travis."

"You can try to call him, Tay, but I think he's in the middle of practice at training camp.

"Can I at least try once?" Taylor asked and Tree nodded. "Yeah, your phone is on the nightstand."

Taylor turned around and grabbed her phone, quickly heading to dial Travis' number.

...............

On the other side of the world, Travis was currently laughing and talking with Patrick while they walked to the benches for a water break.

"Travis." One of the assistants called out his name and he looked over. "What's up?"

"You know how you have been giving me your phone and telling me to keep it with me and let you know during breaks just in case Taylor calls?" He asked and Travis nods. "Yeah, why? Did she?"

The assistant nodded. "Yeah, about three times."

Travis' eyes widened. "What? When?"

"Like five minutes ago." The assistant replied.

Travis sighed. "Okay, uhm, can I have my phone so I can call her back?" He asked and the assistant nodded, handing him the phone. Travis knew that Taylor wasn't the one to call multiple times in a row if it was just a random phone call. She'll usually call once and wait for you to get back to her if you don't answer, so the fact that she called three times in the span of five minutes is a little nerve wrecking.

He called back quickly and didn't have to wait long for Taylor to answer. "Travis." The sound of her voice immediately told her that something was wrong.

"Baby? Is everything okay?" He asked and Taylor started rambling on about something but the sobs in between words made it hard for Travis to understand what she was saying.

"Tay, is someone there with you?" Travis asked, hoping someone who was a little more calm could explain the situation.

"Tree is." Taylor sniffled.

"Can I speak to her please, baby. Just for a second." The phone went silent for a few seconds until Tree's voice came through the other line. "Hey, Travis."

"What's going on? I can't understand a thing that Tay is saying." Travis asked.

"Yeah, uhm, well, Taylor's concerts in Vienna are cancelled." Tree replied and Taylor furrowed his eyebrows. "Oh, why? Is that why she's so upset?"

Tree shook her head. "No, she's upset at the reason why it got cancelled."

"And the reason is..." Travis stuttered off

"Uhm, a- terrorist... attack?" Tree replied and Travis' breath caught in his throat. "A- what? What the fuck do you mean 'a terrorist attack'?" He exclaimed, catching the attention of some of his teammates.

"Look, Travis, if you want all the information than I'm sure you can find it plastered all over the internet but for now, your girlfriend is sobbing and all she wants to do right now is talk to you so I recommend that you let me give her the phone before she rips it out of my hand."

"Okay, yeah, give her the phone." Travis replied and the line went silent for a few seconds before Travis could hear Taylor sniffling. "Trav?"

"Hey, baby. How're you feeling?" Travis asked, sitting down on the bench. While the teammates surrounding him tried to act like they weren't listening, even though they definitely were.

"Terrible." Taylor replied.

"Are all of the shows in Vienna canceled?" Travis asked.

"Yes." Taylor said.

"I'm so sorry, baby. why don't I come up there and keep you some company before you have to go to London?" Travis asked but Taylor shook her head. "No, Trav. It's fine. You have training camp."

"But you're more important, Tay. And I don't want you to be alone during this." Travis replied.

"I'm not alone." Taylor shrugged. "I have my emotional support Tree."

Travis chuckled. "Yeah, but I just wanna be there for you."

"You are." Taylor replied. "In more ways than you know. I'll be fine, baby. Continue on with your training camp, I'll hopefully keep touring until my break in September and then I'll stay with you and go to your games."

"Okay, baby. How about I finish up this practice and I'll call you when I get back to my room and we can talk for hours, or until one of us falls asleep." Travis suggested

"I like that idea." Taylor smiled.

"Great, so, I'll talk to you then." Travis said and Taylor nodded. "Yep, see you then."

"Bye, baby." Travis said before they hung up and he sighed, putting his phone in his pocket.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Patrick asked. "And what's this about a terrorist attack?"

Travis shook his head. "Long story. Let's just hurry up and finish this practice."

The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children, playing soldiers, just pretending. Dreaming dreams with happy endings. In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords. Now we've stepped into a cruel world. Where everyone stands and keeps score~ Taylor Swift
                                         ~~~

I don't really like this but I was almost done with it😭 I'll try to make the next chapter better😭

I hope Taylor and everyone's doing okay though🫶 I still can't believe something like that was actually gonna happen.

Anyway, hope you liked this!

Byyyyeeeee👋
