Taylor POV
I think one of the things i appreciate about mine and Travis' relationship was that we both loved being together and we were an incredibly touchy couple but we also were able to be apart and let the other enjoy something without our significant other needing to do the same thing.
Travis was having a night with the guys from his team doing whatever men do when they get together for a night so i decided on getting together with some of the girls i hadn't been able to see a lot because of tour.
I got out of the car once it came to a stop and walked into a small bar to be met with Blake, Selena, Abigail and Emma all sitting at a table with a spare seat for me.
"Hey guys" I announce myself before putting my bag over the back of the chair and pulling each of them into me for a hug
"It's so good to see you, I feel like it's been forever since we all got together" Selena said as she pulled away from me and took her seat in chair across from mine
"I know right, I missed you all so much" I sit down and take a sip of the wine that one of the girls had already ordered for me
"So how is everything going?" Blake asks also taking her wine in her hand
"Well i mean i'm happy so i would say everything is good" I laugh out
"And Travis?" She continues to ask
"Yeah he-" I start saying but my voice instantly fails me when my eyes fall on someone i didn't plan on seeing tonight.
Matty.
My relationship with Matty was nothing short of complicated until it became quite simple. I loved him and he had no care for me at all.
For as long as i can remember Matty and i were friends, we worked together and hung out as often as we possibly could and i truly thought that after Joe and i hand broken up that i could have his love.
My life has already been completely public and i have been okay with that most of the time. Until the entire world had to see me break apart and glue myself together to continue to tour the world. Matty brock ,my heart and every other part of my body along with it.
Although i am happy with Travis and i am so glad that my life has turned out the way it has because i was lead to the love of my life, i still am not ready to see the person who destroyed my life and put me on display for everyone to make fun of.
"Taylor what's wrong" I didn't know who said it but i knew who ever it was quickly followed my gaze to Matty standing at the bar because her breath hitched.
I let my head fall so i was now looking at the wooden table below my fidgeting hands. I close my eyes and take a deep breath calming myself before i lift my head to look at my friends
"Can i swap seats with you?" I ask Blake and she instantly gets up for me to sit down, now my back was facing Matty and i felt somewhat a little safer
"Do you want to leave?" Abigail asks softly
"No it's okay, he can't ruin everything can he. Plus maybe he just wont notice me" I explain
I have never really had the best luck so i should have known that the moment i said he wouldn't notice me that he would indeed find out i was in the same building as he was.
I immediately flinch at the contact of a hand roughly placed on my shoulder and i snap my head up to see Matty smiling down at me with the same smile that i sed to feel lucky to see but once again with my horrible luck i have, i now have to see the smile that makes my stomach flip.
"Hey Tay" He grins, squeezing my shoulder
"Hi" I whisper
"Can i join?" He asks
"No" Selena snaps
"Well sweetheart i wasn't talking to you" Matty laughs
"Taylor can i sit?" He asks again but i shake my head
"Matty i think you should leave" Blake stands up
"No thank you" He replies
Taylor come talk to me" He grabs ,my arm and i wiggle out of touch
"No" I whisper
"Come on" He urges but i shake my head again
"If you don't come and talk to me then i guess i will just have to pull up a seat here"
"You'll leave?" I ask and he nods, pulling me up from my seat.
Once again on my horribly luck, the one time i tell security to stay in the car i end up running into someone that i may need protection from.
As Matty spoke he stepped closer and i stepped back, we continued this dance until i was backed up against the wall and he was way to close.
"Matty please move" I try to push him away but he doesn't move
He continues to talk and i continue to keep my gaze on the floor, ignoring what he he says. Until his hand in under my chin and he pulls my head up to look at him.
Then his hand is quickly pulled back.
"Did she say you can touch her" I hear someone yell before Matty is quickly stumbling back and Travis is now visible
I instantly get my breath back and i am gasping for it now. Trying to get all the breaths that i didn't allow myself to take earlier
"Travis" I cry out, Wrapping my hands around myself
Matty really didn't do anything beside yell at me and occasionally grab me but i still felt gross, my body wasn't his and right now it didn't even feel like mine.
"Sweet girl, Are you okay?" Travis asks, brushing a piece of hair out of my face and behind my ear but i quickly move away
"Sorry, shit i'm sorry" Travis quickly removes his hand from my face and steps back
"Can we go home?" I whisper and Travis nods
"Let's go"
I quickly walk out to Travis' car and get in the passenger seat before buckling my seatbelt and return to fidget with my hands.
"Can i do anything for you?" He asks but i shake my head
"I'm sorry i ruined your night" I mumble
"No sweat girl you didn't, I'm sorry that he ruined your night" He explains and i nod
For a few minutes the silence is as loud as the bar was, my hands begin to shake as i pick at the skin around my nails trying anything to stop the feeling in my stomach
"Travis" I whisper
"Travis i need your hand"
His hand is quickly extended over the car and is hovering over my lap, i instantly grab it and intertwine our fingers, squeezing his hand tightly for the rest of the car ride
The car stops and we both get out of the car before walking quickly inside.
"You want to go to bed sweet girl?" Travis asks while he takes off my shoes
"Can you come with me?"
"Of course"
We make our way into the bedroom and i quickly get changed before getting into bed next to Travis
"Can i hug you?" I whisper
"Baby girl you don't have to ask, come here"
I roll over and press myself close to Travis' body as i wrap my arms around him, burring my head into his chest.
"Thank you for coming to me"
"No need to thank me baby, I love you"
"I love you too"
"Sleep well sweet girl"
