You Belong To Me (Kaylor)

61.

The girls arrived back at Taylor's apartment. It had been a pretty quiet ride, as they each stared out of their own window. Karlie has two days left before leaving for LA. This is just added stress on the, already stressful afternoon.

"Kar, did you want to go out for dinner? I'm kinda hungry."

"Not really. I lost my appetite an hour ago. I'm actually gonna go back to my place tonight."

"Please don't leave Karlie. I'm sorry about today. I know you hate me bu-...."

Before Taylor could finish her statement, Karlie snapped back. "I DON'T HATE YOU TAYLOR.  On the contrary, I love you so much that it kills me every time we fight. Today was just crazy, ya know? I knew it wasn't going to be easy to sit there and relive everything, but damn, it proved to be so much harder than what I expected. I'm not leaving tonight because I hate you or don't love you. I'm leaving because, right now, I just need 'me time'. I have a million thoughts going on in my head right now and I just need to take it all in and process it."

"I'm sorry Kar. It was selfish of me to ask you to stay. I understand. Maybe we both need to process things."

Karlie grabbed her handbag and kissed Taylor's lips. "I love you. I'll call you tomorrow."

"I love you too Karlie."

Taylor watched as the door closed behind the tall model.

This really sucks. She made it clear that she doesn't even want to talk to me tonight, before we go to bed.- Taylor thought to herself.

Karlie arrived at her apartment and slumped on the couch as she grabbed her phone.

"Hey Car. Want to come over?"

"Is everything alright, Karlie?"

"Today was day one of counseling and I decided to stay at home tonight. I just wanted some company."

"Yeah sure Kar. I just have to call to call Behati. She was coming over to watch a movie."

"Bring her along," Karlie said.

"Ok. We'll see you in two hours." Cara replied.

Cara and Behati made their way over to Karlie's house with pizza and beer in hand.

"So, what happened today Kar?" Behati asked.

"Taylor and I met with a therapist for a couples session. Everything was fine when we got there and then an hour later, it was like we didn't even know each other. We brought up everything that has happened in our relationship from the jealousy to the cheating and before we knew it, the hour flew by and the therapist is like, 'ok, gotta go now', as my relationship was now in fucking disaster mode. Maybe that's why each session costs so much. They fuck your shit up for an hour and you have to pay them more money for them to 'figure it out'."

"I decided to stay here tonight. I told Taylor that I needed some 'me time' to process everything that happened. She thinks I hate her, and that's the farthest thing from the truth. What I hate is not being trusted. I can't seem to get passed the part that SHE did the ultimate form of cheating. She actually, HAD SEX with her ex. I'm no angel, but exactly what did I do that was THAT BAD?"

"It's moments of how I feel right now, that makes me want to be single and do what I want with no boundaries. But then I think about Taylor and I just love her so much. I can't leave her."

"Ughhhh, I'm sorry guys. I'm sure you don't want to hear all of this."

Behati grabbed Karlie's hand as she said, "Hey, it's ok. That's what we're here for. We know you love her and this will definitely work out in the end. Just keep an open flow of communication between you two. The minute you stop talking, is the minute everything changes."
