You were going to the treatment center daily and were trying hard, but of course still had bad coping mechanisms and were struggling regularly. Taylor, on the other hand, was finding VERY hard to keep herself healthy, yet she hadn't notice it yet. She had been very anxious and falling asleep was being tough. She decided to start attending some yoga and Pilates sessions to relax herself and move her body, however, she found that after a week it wasn't enough and started to exercise more in order to get herself tired. It worked for a couple of weeks.
She was also working hard on writing songs for her new album as well as recording. One evening she had a meeting with her team to show them three samples of songs from different genres she had recorded. The meeting took place at one of Taylor's offices and she ordered cheese boards that consisted of different cheeses, hams, nuts and fruits. It had been long since she last seen most of her team members, she also invited some her band mates to give her thoughts on the songs. One of her guitarists knew that something was wrong with her as soon as he saw her, she was anxious, something seemed off, and she looked tired. He asked her twice if she was okay, the second time with a serious tone and a concerned look, but she insisted that she was fine. Tree also sensed that something was wrong but couldn't tell what it was and decided to ask later the blonde. The meeting went well, and everyone had a good time as well, Taylor had nothing to eat, though.
- "Aren't you eating anything?" Her guitarist asked.
- "Sure, but first I want to make sure that everyone has eaten" she answered quickly and walked away. In reality she was too anxious to eat something, she didn't know why but she wanted everything to go perfectly since most of the people in there hadn't seen her in a while.
When everyone left, she was picking up everything, getting ready to leave and she saw two uneaten boards of cheese. She remembered she hadn't eaten and started to eat a piece of Gouda cheese, then another and then tried some ham. She didn't know when or how it happened, but she couldn't stop eating and within minutes she finished one of the boards of cheese. Tree was already 5 minutes on her way home when she noticed she forgot her phone charging at the offices and turned around to go for it. She hoped for Taylor to still be there, since the blonde had the keys, and was relieved when she saw Taylor's car still parked.
- "Tay! I forgot my phone" Tree said and went looking for her phone. Taylor didn't hear her and when the redhead entered the main meeting room, she saw the blonde erratically finishing the second board of cheeses.
- "Tay..."
Taylor came back to her senses and turned to Tree, her eyes widened in panic and shame. She ran to the bathroom before Tree could stop her and locked herself in. The redhead followed her and gently knocked on the door:
- "Tay, open the door. Talk to me"
Taylor didn't answer. A couple of minutes later Tree heard the blonde crying.
- "Taylor, please open the door. I'm not going anywhere" Tree said and the blonde, who was crying seated on the bathroom's floor, extended her arm, turn the doorknob and opened it. Taylor was sitting down on the floor, completely defeated.
- "Honey..."
- "This is not what it looks like" The blonde said in tears.
Tree bent her knees and seated in front of Taylor. She put Taylor's hands in hers.
- "How are you? Like really? I noticed you were anxious all the meeting"
- "I'm fine. This just happened but it has never happened before" Taylor said wiping the tears away.
- "Okay... you look tired...is food becoming an issue?"
- "What? No. Nonsense. I've been a bit anxious but I'm going to yoga and Pilates. It's fine, really" Taylor replied and stood up. She felt too vulnerable. Tree decided not to keep pushing and just stood up after her, they picked up everything and each one of them prepared to go to their cars. When saying goodbye Tree held Taylor's hands again:
