I am in love -Taylor X Travis

Fourteen

Travis POV

"Tell me if im overstepping but, was Evelyn's mood today due to food?" i ask Taylor as we lay in her hotel room bed 

"You are overstepping" she says before letting out a loud laugh 

"I wont tell you exactly because i didn't ask if i could but something like that" she mumbles getting back to her comfortable position on my chest. 

"How'd you know so fast?" i ask a second question 

"Wow you've got all the questions tonight haven't you?" she giggles but continues "I umm i had a lot of issues with food a few years back and as soon as i really looked at her around her lunch i just saw me straight away and i knew i had to see if she was okay" 

"I'm really sorry" 

"why, Trav you didn't do anything" 

"I'm saying im sorry you had to go through that, does it still affect you or are you better now? i ask, wanting to make sure she is okay.

 "I mean there isn't really such thing as better now, if you are looking for a nice way to say am i over it the answer is no. I manage it better and i now understand that food is not the issue but i can't lie there are days were i slip back into old habits of judging myself and then i catch myself just not eating that day, I mean really it just takes a few people commenting on my body but i don't look at comments anymore. I'm okay i promise" she offers and while i am glad she was honest that made me worry a lot more. 

i pull her in closer to me if that is even possible, hugging her body close to mine as we lay their in silence 

"Do you have trouble sleeping when you are alone?" Taylor asks breaking the silence 

"I will always fall asleep but yes i find it harder without you, do you sweet girl?" i offer 

"Yes, i toss and turn for ages and when i do eventually fall asleep it isn't a quality sleep like i kind of need on show nights" she confesses 

"Does it help when we call?" i ask, wanting to help

She nods and i make a mental note to always call her when she sends a goodnight message. 

"Lets get some sleep sweet girl" i kiss her head and she squeezes me tighter. 

within minutes i hear Taylor's breathing even out signaling that she is now asleep and i let myself do the same.

Taylor POV

The morning came around and both Travis and myself are getting ready to go into the studio to rehearse everything again. i look down and my now brightly lit room and see a message from Evelyn 

Evelyn: Hey Taylor, i can't make rehearsal today sorry

Me: Hey, all good are you okay?

Evelyn: yep 

Call me a bad boss but if she is okay why is she not able to be at the studio today, if she just doesn't want to come in today i truly wouldn't care but i am worried that she isn't okay and just isn't saying anything 

Me: are you sure? can i get you anything 

Evelyn: i don't know 

That's all it takes for me to be now walking out of the bathroom and up to Travis 

"Hey ill be back in a second, im going to see Evelyn" i tell him before kissing him 

"okay sweet girl"

I care for all the people that are apart of this show but for some reason i have a soft spot for Evelyn, maybe it's because she is younger or just because she reminds me of myself. Or just because i find her fun to be around but as i hurry to her hotel room i worry about her. 

I knock twice on her door before it slowly opens revealing a tired looking Evelyn who is still in her Pyjamas  

"Are you okay?" I ask, knowing that she had already told me she was but now i can actually see her response instead of just a word on a phone

"I don't know, I got really deep in comments last night and i wasn't able to put my phone down now i just feel like shit" she explained honestly, opening her door wider for me to now walk into her room 

"They are wrong" I state 

"You haven't seen what they are saying-" she starts but i cut her off 

"They are wrong" i try again, getting her to understand 

"They don't know you okay, they have no right to comment and when they do they are wrong" i pause "I hate to make it about me but sweetheart most of the people in your comments are people that for some crazy reason hate me and so they now find things to judge you about" i try to explain how incredibly messed up some people are.

"Yeah i guess so" 

"Do you want to come to the studio today? you don't have to but Travis is coming again and when he isn't dancing you can sit with him if that brings you any comfort" i offer 

"I don't want to bring the mood down, if its okay can i just stay here?" she asks 

"of course, if you feel like you want to stay that's okay but you wouldn't be bringing the mood down. i love having you around and i care a lot about you so if you don't come best believe i will be messaging you all day" i tell her, letting a laugh out but we both know i am fully telling the truth

Travis POV 

Taylor had left to check on Evelyn around fifteen minutes ago and it's nearly time to head off so i go down the hall trying to find her. I knock on the door and see Taylor opening it.

"Hey, we got to get going soon" i state letting her know the time

"okay" Taylor says before turning around to Evelyn "you coming or staying?" she asks 

"I will come" Evelyn says walking out the hotel door, followed by Taylor

We are all walking down the hotel hallway, i take Taylor's hand in my own and notice she does the same with Evelyn. I had always knew Taylor was one of the kindest people on this earth but watching her with her dancers and crew is a new type of caring, she turns into this fierce protector having the need to make sure everyone is okay at all times.  

Evelyn POV

Rehearsal started and everybody was going over their own little bits, i watched as everyone marked their moves making sure every thing was perfect. Then my eyes fall on Taylor and Travis, i grew up in a household where my parents weren't together and so love was a weird thing to me, i knew that people loved each other but i had never seen two people love each other so loud before these two. 

Travis is sat on the couch in the corner of the studio and Taylor on his lap and his arm wrapped around her waist as she was mindlessly giggling about whatever he was saying. My gaze got lost staring at them for maybe a little too long because Taylor looked at me with a 'you okay' kind of look

I blink and just nod my head to let her know in this moment i was okay. 

The start of this tour was perfect and i was really okay but as the show goes on and more people see it the more the bad thoughts start to creep in and the more i want to hide away in a hole. I was so incredibly thankful for Taylor and the way she treated me this week, it has been no secret that i was a fan of her before i started working for her so i had watched her movie and i knew she had once struggled with eating so it felt easier talking to someone who knew what i was feeling.

I liked not having to hide anything from her because i knew that their would be no judgment from her at all. 

Eventually it was at a point in rehearsals where i had to join in so i did just that, Taylor looked over with a thumbs up and i gave her one in return. It felt nice to be cared about.
