So High School

Sleepy

A/N based off a tt I saw lmao

Taylor sat down in the shower, leaning her head against the wall as the world spun around her. The burning water ran over her body as she closed her eyes. She was just so exhausted.

The world was going to quickly, her life; she needed a break from all of this, she couldn't keep on going like this. She hadn't been sleeping much lately, the stress of everything just too much. Travis had started to notice, commenting on it here and there but she just brushed it off, saying she wasn't tired, that she slept at the studio.

But all this was a lie, and in truth she hadnt had a full nights sleep in over a month. Maybe four hours a night was the maximum she was getting, and with no naps it was starting to catch up to her.

She let her mind shut down, drifting off into the world of dreams. She forgot about the scalding water cascading over her body, the open soap bottle that has just been in her hand and was now tipped over on the floor. She was just too tired for it all.

"Taylor?" Travis called, knocking on the bathroom door. "Tay? You've been in there a while, everything okay?" When he was met with no reply he started to get worried, his protectiveness kicking in.
"Taylor, if you don't answer me right now I'm going to have to kick this door down" no reply, only the sound of rushing water.

"Fuck" Travis swore. He stepped back, standing sideways so his shoulder was facing the door. Without missing a beat he charged at it, throwing his whole weight into it. The door buckled, and so he tried again. This time it came crashing in, revealing the bathroom filled with steam.

Travis's eyes immediately flicked over to the shower and he scrambled over. He spotted Taylor curled up in the corner and immediately reached to turn off the shower, swearing as the scalding water burned his arm.
"Why do you have it so hot?" He muttered worriedly, more to himself than her.

Once the water was off he stepped into the shower, kneeling in front of Taylor.
"Taylor?" He shook her shoulders gently, hoping that she'd wake up.
"Sweetheart, come on" he shook her a bit harder and this time her eyelids squinted open as she gazed up at him.

"Are you feeling okay?" Travis asked, his eyebrows furrowed worriedly. He placed a gentle hand on her forehead, feeling for a temperature.
"I'm fine" Taylor mumbled, blinking tiredly.
"Well, you're obviously not fine if you're falling asleep in the shower"
"I'm fine" Taylor said again, her voice quiet as she let her eyes droop shut.

Travis sighed, running hand over his buzzcut.
"Come on, lets get you out of here" He put his hands under her arms, gently lifting her to a standing position. Her body felt heavy, like led as he took most of her weight. He helped her step out the shower, grabbing a white fluffy towel from the rack. He wrapped it around her shivering body, leading her into the bedroom and sitting her down on the bed.

He knelt infront of her, placing his hands on her knees.
"Taylor" he said, looking up into her eyes. "Sweetheart, tell me what's wrong. Something's wrong, I can tell" his face was worried, filled with sympathy.
"I'm just..." Taylor cast her eyes down, her fingers anxiously fiddling with the end of the towel. "I just havent been sleeping recently. Like, at all. And I guess... I guess it's starting to catch up to me"

"Okay" Travis nodded, standing up and making his way over to his clothes drawer. He pulled out Taylor's favourite of his t-shirts and bought it back over to her, slipping it over her head. It was huge on her, dropping down to almost her knees, drowning her small frame. He took the towel and started to gently dry her hair, making sure not to pull too much.

"Okay" he said, once he was done. "Now we are going to go to bed. I won't fall asleep until you do, and if you wake up in the night you wake me too. Okay?"
Taylor nodded tiredly, crawling over to the head of the bed and dropping down onto the pillow.
"And in the future you wake me up if you can't sleep, okay?" He came to lie next to her, wrapping her body in his. Taylor nodded against his chest, closing her eyes sleepily.

"I love you baby" Travis whispered, his hand gently stroking her hair. But there was no answer as she lay, fast asleep, beside him.
