Taylor POV
I had been in the spot light since i was 15 and i had grown to accept and live alongside it. I knew that there would never be a thing to happen in my life where it wasn't public news and sometimes that got a little overwhelming but at the end of the day i know that i choose to have this life and it was also the life that i had dreamed off for so many years before it had become a reality. The good out weighed the bad any day and that's what made everything worth it.
Who didn't choose this life though was my boyfriend Travis, yes he plays for the NFL and is well known in that community but it wasn't the same level of public attention that i got.
Him and i have been dating for three months but we only just made it public knowledge maybe three weeks ago. Their were already or names all over headlines and the most insane rumors were spreading but no once had Travis shown that it was getting too much.
Even though he had shown no sign of discomfort or annoyance to the new found attention i still couldn't settle the nerves that seem to find a home in my stomach, i was worried that the attention would become to much, that the constant flashes of the camera would start to blind and block the good feelings he has towards me and he would turn it into resentment.
I think the worst part was that no matter if we stayed together forever or we broke up in a few months the public would still be all over him and he would forever be tied to me in the media which is something that made me feel so guilty.
Currently i was sitting on the couch in Travis home in Kansas City waiting for him to arrive back from practice. I knew that we had to bite the bullet and have the hard conversation about all of this but i was scared to, scared of what the outcome would be and scared as to what he might say.
All of the thoughts circling my head started to take over and tears became streaming down my face without my consent. I was to busy trying to focus on breathing that i didn't hear the door open of the countless amount of times Travis called out to me before he was siting on the floor in front of me with his hands rested on my knees
"Hey what's going on darling" Travis asks as he gently squeezes my knees, pulling me out of my own thoughts
I try to talk but i can not manage for any words to come out.
"What's happening in that beautiful mind of yours huh, sweet girl?" He asks again. His sweet words and the comfort of his touch slowly makes me calmer, slowing the tears.
"I just i am scared that this is all too much" I manage to get out
"What is? Did i do something wrong?"
"No no me i am scared i am too much" I admit, as Travis wipes the last of my tears
"Why would you think that?" He asks softly
"This my life" I cough "It's crazy and annoying and i decided i wanted this life but you didn't and i know it is going to get to much and the media will destroy the feeling you have for me. I don't want to lose you already but they are horrible" I manage to explain
"Hey girlie take a deep breath" He directs
"You don't have to worry about that okay" Travis takes both my hands in his and continues talking
"Sweet girl i knew who you were before we started dating and i knew what i was signing up for when i asked you to be my girlfriend okay. The media and public opinions may not be idea and yes they can be loud and cruel but that is all just outside noise that we get to choose if we listen to it or not. Each day that i wake up i choose to love you and to spend my life with you and you do the exact same thing back, that's all i can ask" He explains moving himself up onto the couch to take me in his arms
"You can't control what they say or what they do so their is no reason for me to blame you for any of it princess. I love you"
"I love you Travis" I say, curling up into his arms
"What got you thinking this way, did something happen?"
"Not really i was just scrolling on my phone and saw both of our names a few times" I explain
"Well next time try not to get into that pretty head of yours"
I tilt my head up and place one of my hands onto Travis cheek before pulling him down to place a loving kiss upon his lips.
"Thank you handsome"
"It's me and you sweet girl, no one else matters'
