A.N: In this one, Taylor has a really bad fear of storms.
Taylor
I woke up with a loud noise. My head was spinning when another thunder ripped the sky, making me gasp.
I hated storms and what they make me remember. A quick shiver ran through my body when flashbacks started fleshing through my mind.
I try to concentrate on anything other than the storm falling a part outside, but the rain gets louder, and I start shaking. Then a hand squeezes my waist, and I come back to reality.
"What's wrong, darling?" Travis asks me in a sleepy voice, his eyes searching mine.
"Nothing; came back to sleep, honey," I say, cleaning the tears from my cheek. But then he sat next to me and involves his arms around my shoulder.
His act just makes me lose it completely, I sink into his embrace and start sobbing against him.
He stays by my side all the time, rubbing my back while I cry.
After a while, my breathing came back to normal, and I slowly opened my eyes, looking at Travis. His eyes soften at me.
"Want to talk about it?" He asks me.
"Not really" I answered.
"I'm not going to push you, but if you want to talk about anything, just know that I am here for it"He said putting a hand on my chin. The look on his face almost made started crying again.
"The storm," I started saying, "it gives me bad feelings and memories." He continues to look at me while I speak." I don't exactly know what happened, but every time it rains like this, I just can't help it, I freak out." Travis stared at me for a moment before I started speaking again." And I know that it's unreasonable, but it haunts me." I blow it out
Travis reaches for my hand and holds it." It's not unreasonable, Taylor," he said. " Everyone has their fears and ghosts," he breathes out. "And the next time I want you to wake me up", I started to argue, but he shushed me up. "I don't care how late it is; if you are having a hard time, I want to be by your side".
I stared at him for a moment before giving him a tiny smile. "Thank you, trav, that really means a lot to me." The storm had calmed down a little." "Want to come back to sleep?" I asked him.
"Only if you are in my arms"
We both lay down, and Travis puts me against his chest ,laying me on top of him. He leaves a slight kiss on my head.
"Good night ,my love"
Two days later
It has been a tough week; it looks like we are in storm season, and I couldn't have been more miserable. Every day looked worse than the last. Travis obviously noticed, and he is really trying to cheer me up, but nothing has ever really helped.
Even in the daylight, the rain hasn't stopped. So I passed all the days just looking at the sky outside.Today wasn't different, so I was just sitting on the couch watching the rain fall. Then I felt a hand squeezing my shoulder. I look over and see Travis looking at me.
"Tay that's enough"He said, standing me on the ground." You can't continue like this, love".
"I know, but I just can't help it," I told him with tears already tears in my eyes.
"I know that, Tay, that's why I'm going to help you." He said hiding a smile on his face.
"How do you-" I started talking, but immediately stopped when Travis got my legs and trowed me over his shoulder." What are you doing ?" I screamed at him.
He walks outside the house through the rain, keeping us all wet. He puts me on the ground, and I open my mouth in discredit. He gives me a small smile.
"You have all these bad memories with the rain," he said, and then he offered his hand to me. " So I'm asking you to make good memories with me"
I stared at his hand for a moment and then grabbed it. And this moment was like the time had stopped, for a moment, there wasn't any rain. Only the two of us. He started spinning me, making me laugh.
He pulled me against his chest, as we started dancing, sometime he pulled me off the ground, making me smile. We moved arond the yard never stopping touching ourselves.
I started laughing so hard when he was turning me around again. Then I looked at him, and he was smiling at me in a way that almost made my heart lose a beat.
Then I just moved forward and kissed him, he immediately kissed me back, putting his hand on my waist. I wrapped my legs around his waist while the rain continued to fall around us.
"I love you, Travis" I said with my eyes blurred because of the rain." I love you more than anything in the world"
He takes my chin with his hands. "I love you too, Taylor, and you are never going to need to get through this alone again"He said.
And I know it's true.
