How to Mend a Broken Heart - Taylor swift and Travis Kelce

"Hi princess" I smile, walking over to her on the couch and greeting her nanny, Nicole, on my way to my daughter too "what are you doing up? It's late"

"I was watching bluey with Nicki!"

"It's not time for princesses to be up, so my little princess has to go to bed" I tell her, it's unlike Nicole to allow her to stay up so late, she's usually good at following bedtime

"She had a long nap this afternoon and she wasn't sleepy, she's insisted on staying up and waiting for you, so I figured I'd let her since she slept so much" Nicki explains

"Thank you Nicole, you can go now, I'll see you tomorrow morning" I smile

"Okay, goodnight, goodnight Lizzie, I'll see you tomorrow" she says "oh and she already took her medicine, just so you know" she says turning back and reassuring me

"Thank you" I smile "alright this princess has to go to bed now" I say grabbing her in my arms, making her giggle "come on Milo, you have to take care of my girl" I tell her dog

"Daddy where were you? I don't like it when you don't come home" she asks as I carry her to her room

"I was busy, with um- some work stuff sweetie"

Taylor's pov

I don't know what had possessed me to be so straightforward with Travis since the first time I texted him, but I was so attracted to him and not just physically, his personality was different than anyone else I had ever dated

I could tell from the first time I saw that clip of him in his podcast talking about the famous bracelet that he was outgoing and bubbly

He had quickly piqued my interest, it hasn't been long since I ended a six year relationship with Joe, and then I quickly got together with Matty as a fling to get over Joe, but it seemed different with Travis

He made me nervous, and any little thing he said could make me blush, something that didn't ever happen with Joe, maybe that should've been my first clue not to date him, a hint that it wouldn't be a forever relationship

Travis was nice and thoughtful and although he seemed a bit intimidated by me at first, he quickly grew comfortable around me, which I loved because it was scary how quickly I was falling for him

I don't know if I really do love him, or if it's how much I love the attention he gives me, the one I've been craving for years, but he has me head over heels

We've decided to keep this little thing we have going on a secret from the media so we had out first date here and now about a week later it took a lot of convincing to get him to fly out here because I missed him and he rented out an entire restaurant just for us

"I'm sorry I forgot the bracelet again"

"That's okay, I guess we'll just have to schedule another date for that bracelet" I smile

"I hope so" he says nervously

Ever since we'd arrived to the restaurant, Travis looked nervous and I could tell he couldn't keep still

Maybe tonight was finally the night he'd ask me out officially, it made perfect sense, it was only our second date officially but we clicked almost immediately and he gone all out, no one had ever rented out a restaurant just for me, it was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for me

"So, I was wondering, if maybe you'd want to spend the night tonight? You don't have practice tomorrow and the season hasn't started and I want to get to be with you for a little longer before I have to go back on tour"

"I'm sorry Tay, I can't, I have to fly back home" he says, swallowing saliva

"Oh-"

"I wish I could but-"

"It's okay, I understand"

"No, I don't think you do" he says almost whispering, not looking up from his plate where he drags his food around with his fork

His sudden coldness brings me to a halt, I'd experienced this with Joe, usually before a big fight, this was how it went

"Can we go?" He asks, I nod

The silent car ride back to my apartment is awkward, it hadn't felt awkward with him before

"Can we talk?"

"Um yeah" I say nervously

We weren't even official and yet here we were, with him about to end something that hadn't even started

I'd gotten this a lot before, I was clingy, but I'd only asked him to stay over because he had seemed just as comfortable with me as I was with him, and I wanted to be with him more, i found myself wanting to spend more time with him but the he'd never some for more than a few hours, he seemed like a very different person on the phone sometimes

"There's something I need to tell you, i really like you tay, but there's something I need you to know" he pauses for a moment, I don't know if he doesn't know to tell me or if he just can't get it out

"Is it over?"

"No, not unless you want it to be"

"Okay, then what is it then?"

"I have a daughter..."
