Taylor had not been feeling well the last few weeks, and it was getting worse. So far she was managing to hide it from Travis- they weren't together a lot of the time, instead it was more late night phone calls- but she wasn't sure how much longer she could hold up this facade. She was starting to get scared that something was actually wrong, but she pushed her worries to the back of her mind instead of getting help.

That day started out like any other. She woke up from her long ten hour sleep exhausted. Her head throbbed and her stomach ached, and as she stumbled out of bed a wave of dizziness overtook her. Travis had left to catch his flight out, work trip, the night before, leaving Taylor all alone. She stumbled into the bathroom, using the sink to prop herself up as she looked into the mirror. A ghost of what she once was started back at her, her skin sickly and pale and deep purple eye bags under her eyes. She groaned, turning sideways and lifting up her top. She had been losing more and more weight lately, and it worried her. She wasn't on a diet or anything, so why was this happening?

She splashed her face with cold water, hoping it would wake her up a bit more. She had booked a session in the studio with Jack, and she was due there is half an hour. She ran a brush through her hair, quickly covering her eyes bags with concealer and trying to make herself look more presentable. She threw on a hoodie and some leggings, looking at herself once more in the mirror before making her way downstairs.

The car ride was short, and it consisted of Taylor trying to ease the churning in her stomach. Luckily for her, there were no paps when she got into the car, however she was alerted that there were quite a few outside the studio.

She took a deep breath before climbing out the car, following her security guard. The flashes from the camera were blinding and made Taylor feel sick. As soon as she stepped into the building and the doors shut behind her a wave of dizziness took over her body, causing her to grip onto a nearby railing. She closed her eyes tight, taking deep breaths as the world spun around her.

"Oh my god Taylor, are you okay?" Came the worried voice of her friend as he rushed over to her. Jack rushed to her side, steadying her by holding her arm. Taylor took a deep breath, before opening her eyes and forcing a smile.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she forced out.
"Are you sure? You don't look great" Jack asked her in concern.
"Gee, thanks" Taylor rolled her eyes jokingly and Jack smiled, his face still filled with worry.
"Are you sure you should be here? Maybe you should just go home and rest" Jack pushed on, worried for his friend.
"I'm fine Jack, let's just start" Taylor shook his hand off her arm, letting go of the railing and walking into the studio room.

She swallowed down the nausea, blinking away the dizziness. She flopped down onto the sofa, looking up as Jack followed her in.
"Are you sure you shouldn't be resting at home? I could drive you, get you settled?" Jack sat down next to her, chewing his lip anxiously.
"Jack, I'm fine. Honestly. Thank you though" Taylor forced a smile again and Jack nodded reluctantly.
"Alright then, let's get started" he stood up.

The rest of the session went well and the horrible feeling in Taylor's stomach had mostly subsided. They had decided to get some recording done, so Taylor got up off the sofa to go into the recording bit. However as soon as she stood, her vision blacked out and the floor swung out from beneath her. Her eyes rolled back and she fell forward, her cheek meeting the cold hard ground.
