❤️ King of my heart 💛

Tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay

(I took this chapter down for a bit because of the backlash it was getting but I've decided to keep it up and just explain it a bit more. I do not think that Tayvis broke up. I know that there are a million reasons for someone to be sad that other people aren't aware of and I wasn't trying to paint Travis to be a bad guy in this chapter at all. I know he's jet lagged and probably a bit sad about not being able to go to eras shows as often along with his friend passing away. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful at all, I've never been one to write chapters about actual events in their timeline just so I can be a bit more respectful to them and this idea just came from knowing he had to go to training camp soon and wouldn't be able to fly to her shows. Not really being super accurate to how Germany N1 actually was. I also know that Taylor does have a break in the tour and it's not realistic that they won't see each other for five months, that was just apart of the plot kinda just the gap between chiefs training starting and the eras tour ending. I'm super sorry that I upset some people, that wasn't my intention at all. I'm sorry.)

Travis's POV

Terrible. I feel terrible. Tonight I have to end things with Taylor. After a long talk with her publicist Tree, we agreed that me and Taylor would no longer be dating for the remainder of the eras tour. Which ends in December. The reason she even brought this up in the first place is that me and Taylor have become very dependent on each other. Meaning this upcoming 5 months would be very hard on both of us mentally. I'd be checking into training camp for the 2024 season and won't be able to see Taylor at all since she's going to be in Europe and North America till December.

As much as I don't want to do this I know that I have too. For Taylor's mental well being.

Im currently at my 13th eras tour show and it's just me. No friends, no bodyguards, no family. Just me in the VIP suite. I can tell all the fans have spotted me and are waiting for me to dance and sing along so that they can film me but I just can't.

I can't act all happy and joyful knowing that I'm going to have to end it with the love of my life in a few hours.

It's not gonna be forever, after the eras tour we're going to get back together. Well, if Taylor wants. God, she's gonna hate me for this. I hate myself for this.

I often change between leaning on the doorframe to the balcony of the suite and just sitting inside, out of the public view and just cry.

Eventually she gets halfway through midnights and her security comes up to get me.

"Hey man, everything alright?" Drew, ones of Tays guys asks me as we walk down the silent stadium hallways.

"Yeah, not really but I'll be okay." I say while heartedly. I notice the slight confusion in his face but just ignore it.

They lead me back to the under part of the stage. I can hear her ending karma, which shatters my heart because she doesn't know that this is the last time she's singing 'Karma is the guy on the chiefs'.

I wait patiently for her to be fully lowered under the stage. She jogs in place, giggling and smiling at me as she waits for her team to fully unhook her from the speaker system.

I manage to give her a smile back just as she can run to me and jump into my arms.

"I couldn't see you in the VIP area?" She says, wrapping her arm around my waist so we can walk out of the stadium together.

"I could definitely see you on stage." I say which makes her laugh. Gosh, her laugh. If I could have it in my bloodstream, I would. She waves to the fans as we walk in front of them. I just keep my arm around her though.

"I got kinda sad when I was singing the surprise songs when I couldn't see you though." She says after we get out of fan sight.

"Oh I'm sorry Tay, I can assure you I did hear both of the sets you played." I say kissing her cheek.
