Taylor's Pov
"It's gonna be ok baby girl, once this is over you get to come stay with me for an entire month." Travis whispered into my ear while gently rocking our body's back and forth.
He was about to get on the plane back to KC which meant we weren't going to see each other for nearly six weeks making it the longest time we've been apart. What makes it even worse is our one-year anniversary of us dating is over this time which means that it will be spent over facetime. Travis has assured me multiple times that we will continue to call and text every day like we usually would but even that reassurance hasn't been helpful.
"No." I mumbled into his neck sniffling as I failed to hold back my tears. "No, I don't want you to go."
"I know, I don't want to go either but I have to." His voice wavered; I could tell her was crying as well.
He pulled back, cupping my face with his hands and pressed his lips against mine letting them linger. I couldn't taste my tears in the kiss as I struggled not to completely break down in his arms. I kissed him back desperately trying to distract myself from the pit in my stomach knowing this was going to be our last kiss for weeks. Once we were both out of breath, he pulled back letting his forehead rest against mine. My lips quivered as we stood there, my hands clinging to the front of his shirt.
A sob escaped my lips making Travis hold me tighter. "Shh it's ok." He held me as I cried for a little longer but we both knew he needed to leave.
Pulling away from his was almost painful and the look on his face just made me want to cling to him more but logically I knew I couldn't. We both knew what we were signing up for when we started dating and we can't just abandon our jobs just because we don't want to say goodbye.
"I'm gonna miss you." I managed to say through my tears.
"Me to baby girl, me to." Tears of his own started to fall from his eyes. "I love you so damn much Taylor."
"I love you too Trav." I sniffled wiping my eyes.
He gave me one last kiss before walking out the door. As soon as the door was closed, I collapsed into a heap of my own tears. Anyone who saw me would have thought he had just left forever. I had no idea why this was hitting me so hard, but it was, for the next few hours I couldn't do anything but cry. I nearly threw up I had been crying so much.
The next few days were mainly full of the same just less tears. I was always sulking and noting besides my facetimes with Travis really ever made me smile. My band and dancers tried to cheer me up but eventually gave up.
Things got slightly better throughout the weeks but there was still always a lingering sadness. As helpful as our facetimes were I craved his touch, his warm embrace, his kisses everything. I had stolen a bottle of his cologne and had been spraying it on all of his clothes he had left, pillowcases, and even some of my clothes.
"You can't sulk forever Taylor." Tree sighed not looking up from her iPad.
"Yes I can." My voice was mumbled by the floor where I was lying face down.
One of my shows had just ended and I was waiting for Travis to call while Tree went over some media things with me. Well, more like Tree talked while I pretended to pay attention occasionally nodding my head and mumbling in agreement.
My phone pings and my head shot up looking at the screen of my phone which had been lying by my head. My heart leaps as I realize it's a text from Travis.
