How Did It End?

Taylor's POV

"Travis, I need you to be honest with me. Why is she texting you in the middle of the night like that? If you're cheating on me, I need you to be upfront and honest." I manage to choke out through my tears. God, it hurt allowing those words to leave my mouth.

Travis shakes his head. "I don't know why she is texting me those things. I haven't talked to Kayla since I ended things with her and I swear I would never do that to you, baby. You mean the world to me."

Another tear falls down my cheek as I shake my head. "I don't think you should call me baby right now. How am I supposed to believe you? I told you that if you broke my heart again, we'd be over for good. No more chances."

"Taylor, I swear I'm not cheating on you. I don't even know how she found out you're pregnant either." His eyes fall to my bump as I lightly caress it, feeling my little girl kick.

"That's the thing, Travis! The only way she would know that I'm pregnant is if someone told her and it sure as hell wasn't me. Who else would it have been? Casper the fucking ghost?" I faintly hear Tree stifle a laugh from the kitchen and I almost laugh at the fact that she's eavesdropping like always.

"I don't know, Taylor." Travis sighs and looks out the window, a faraway look in his eyes. "It had to have been someone close to us who knows you're pregnant."

A couple more tears fall down my cheeks. "Travis, I think we need a break. I don't know if I can trust you right now and until I know for sure that I can trust you again, I can't go back to the way things were. I'm sorry, but this is for the best right now." I look at him and the defeated look in his eyes breaks my heart.

"Tay, don't do this. You know I would never do that." Travis is so close to breaking down and I just want to pull him into my arms, but I can't let myself fall back in again that easily. I force myself to look away from him knowing that if I keep looking at the broken expression on his face, I'd fall back in and not get out.

"I'll send my security to grab some of my things. I'll be staying here for the time being." I murmur quietly as I hear Tree call Drew and ask him to grab the things I'd need for the next week. I look up when I hear Travis sniffle as he stands up. He walks over to the back door and before he turns the handle to open the door, he turns around to face me.

"Will you at least promise me one thing?"

"What is it?"

"Don't let this be the end of us. You know in your heart that I would never choose another girl over you. You and our little girl are my everything, Tay. I can't afford to lose you." A few tears slip down my cheeks as he looks away from me again, opening the door and walking out.

As soon as the door shuts, I break down. I told myself I wouldn't shut him out again. I told myself I would fight for us the same way he did, but I broke that promise to myself again. I wanted to just take him in my arms and tell him we'll get through it, but no I had to be stupid again. Yes, I know deep down that Travis would never do this to me. He loves me and our baby so much and he's really shown me that the past few months. I don't even know why I suggested a break or why I even let that thought become a reality. Trust? I trust him with my damn life and I hate myself for doubting him and his loyalty to me. Fuck. I need to talk to him.

Before I can talk myself out of it, I stand up slowly because of my bump and walk over to the door. As I'm turning the handle, I hear Tree walk into the living room.

"Taylor, what are you doing?" I turn around as tears fall down my cheeks and her facial expression softens once she sees my tear stained face.

"I have to go find Trav and apologize to him. I told myself I wouldn't shut him out or do something stupid to force us to possibly fall apart again. I know in my heart that he'd never cheat on me or break my heart again, but my fears got in the way and I'm doing what I did last time. I shut down and am on the path to destroying it all once again. Travis is the best man I've ever met and I can't let him think it's his fault that I stupidly suggested a break." Without even waiting for Tree to respond, I open the door and step outside. As I'm walking towards my house, I run into my security and I quickly tell them to take all my stuff back to my house.

A couple minutes later, I walk into my house with my security behind me and immediately tell them to just take the stuff upstairs.

"Travis is in the living room." Drew says before heading upstairs and I nod in response. After I take my shoes off, I slowly walk into the living room and almost break down again when I see Travis sitting on the couch with his head in his hands and his shoulders shaking like he's crying. I caused that. This is my fault and I need to fix it.

I walk around the edge of the couch and over to where Travis is sitting. As soon as my hands touch his, he looks up at me and I break down at the sight of his tear stained cheeks and red eyes. Without any hesitation, Travis grabs my waist and pulls me onto his lap. I wrap my arms around him and bury my face in his neck as we cry together. I faintly hear my security walk back downstairs and I lift my head up just enough so I can nod at them, letting them know I'm safe with Travis.

"I'm so sorry, babygirl. I'm so fucking sorry." Travis whispers in my ear and I lift my head up to look at him as I take his face in my hands while shaking my head.

"No I'm the one that should be sorry. I jumped to conclusions, closed off, and pushed you away when I should've done the opposite. I love you so much, honey. I know you'd never cheat on me and make me question how much you love me." I wipe a few years from under his eyes as he caresses my bump with one of his hands.

"Tay, you had every right to be scared. Do I wish you would've woken me? Yes I do. But your instincts kicked in and you went to the next safe person you could think of." He sniffles and wipes a tear that had escaped my eye.

"I know I should have woken you up to ask you why she was texting you, but I was worried that I would end up saying things that I would regret and I didn't want to hurt you." My voice was quiet and Travis tightens his arms around me as I lean my head on his head. "I do have a question though. Why did you walk out instead of fighting back when we were at Trees house?"

Travis takes a deep breath and he starts to run his hand up and down my side. "I wanted to respect your decision and give you some time. I was also scared of Tree in that moment and didn't want her to go through with that threat she gave me. I know she was only slightly kidding, but still." I chuckle when I remember the little threat Tree gave Travis.

"And I love you for deciding to give me that time. Being scared of Tree and the threat she gave you makes perfect sense and doesn't surprise me at all." We both quietly laugh and I lift my head up so I can face him. I run my fingers across his cheek as we stare into each others eyes. Slowly, we lean in and our lips meet halfway. Our lips begin to move together in harmony and my fingers clutch onto his hair as he rests one hand on my thigh and the other on my waist. Before Travis can slip his tongue in my mouth, I pull away and look at him with nothing but lust in my eyes.

"You know, I heard make up sex is the best so why don't we go upstairs and you can fuck me like there's no tomorrow." I bite my lip and Travis immediately stands up with me in his arms.

"Say less, babygirl." I giggle as he almost runs up the stairs and into our bedroom as I hang onto him like a koala.
