When Taylor fell, she fell apart.

It's stupid, really.

Surely, something so simple, like a tiny green emoji of the Christan sign for cruelty, couldn't cause her to break.

Maybe that's not true.

She couldn't really pinpoint when it started, if you asked.

Probably around the time she broke up with Calvin, but that quickly died down. It resurfaced when Kanye dropped his song "Famous", but she truly thought that would die down too.

It didn't. Not with Kim Kardishion breathing down her neck, ready to pounce the moment Taylor spoke up with the truth.

She didn't really know she cared this much.

When she first started out her career, her only concern was making music people could relate to.

Its just not only about music anymore.

She hasn't left her bed in weeks. Camila didn't for a while, too caught up in her grievances of a man she hated, but the brunette had eventually gotten up and gotten back to life..

If she can do it, why can't Taylor bring herself to open her curtains?

"Hey mate?! What did you just say? Say it louder. I can't hear ya over the sound of your fucking ego!"

Taylor sighs, turning the laptop back to face Tree before she buries her head in her hands.

That's the only thing that got her out of bed. Tree has some very important things to say, and when Tree needs to say something, trust its going to be said 

The video of Camila continues to play, but she's seen it six times from different friends already today and she doesn't need to see it again to have it imprinted in her head.

"And if you didn't know, she proceeded to-" Taylor cuts her publicist off, running a tired hand through her hair as she mumbles, "Proceeded to punch him and tell him if he ever spoke about me again, she'd do worse. I know, Tree."

The redhead hesitates. She was going to give a lecture about how the stupid, hot-head brit getting in stupid meaningless fights won't exactly help the picture they're trying to paint, but it seems like Taylor is actually in need of someone to speak to.

Taylor begins to speak, her voice twisted with a hint of regret. Regret for what, nobody exactly knows. "You know...before she met me, she went two years without getting in a single fight. Not a single one. Now here I am, in her life, and she can't go a day without defending my honor from some man who thinks it's funny to hold up a sign calling me a made-up combination of 'slut' and 'snake'."

Tree just stares. With pity? No, that's not it. Commiseration seems more fitting.

"Listen blondie, I know you're scared. Kim coming out with the post about snake day was the last thing you needed, but we need to accept it happened and instead of staring at it like it's a ticking time bomb, we need to find out how we defuse it before it fucking blows. Alright?"
