Karlie began to panic not knowing what happened. She was thirty thousand feet in the sky and felt helpless. What could be coming out of a press conference at 11? Is everything ok? Did something happen? Was there an accident?

Cara tried her best to calm her friend down.

"Karlie, relax, I'm sure everything is fine. There's no sense in panicking right now, we're thousands of feet in the sky and we have no cell phone service. Try and get some rest.

But Karlie couldn't rest. No matter how much she wanted to forget about Taylor, deep down, she knew she couldn't. She couldn't let her go not now, not ever. She felt so helpless and scared. What if she never had the opportunity to speak to her again? What if the last words were always going to be how she killed her mentally and emotionally. Karlie began to breathe really heavy, she was having a panic attack.

"Help, can someone help us?" Cara frantically called for help.

The attendants came running over as one asked if there was a doctor onboard. An older gentleman got up and made his way over to first class.

"I'm going to need you to lean forward and place your head between your legs, just take easy breaths nice and slow. Within a few minutes, Karlie began to relax, as her breathing had regulated. The doctor gave her a sleeping pill to help her fall asleep for the remainder of the flight.

The girls plane had landed as Karlie looked at her watch, knowing they had 30 minutes before the press conference. They raced to get their luggage and then made their way to the airport bar, asking if the channel could be changed to CNN. In less than 15 minutes, the world would hear an announcement they were never expecting.

Cara grabbed two drinks as the conference began.

There was a news broadcaster sitting next to Taylor, who sat in a large white chair holding Olivia.

"Thank you for turning in. We have breaking news from singer and songwriter Taylor Swift. Without further a due, I will turn the microphone over to Miss Swift.

Hi, my name is Taylor Swift. I wanted to take this opportunity to address something with everyone out there who is watching, but especially my fans.

I have had an amazing journey in the music industry. My dream was to get a record deal and get my music heard. I would have never imagined that I would one day be selling out stadiums, and have so many successful albums. I only have my fans to thank for that. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here today.

With success comes a lot of fear. You're constantly in the public eye, being too afraid to be yourself. Always looking over your shoulder to see who's watching. You get to a point where you're wearing full makeup and a fabulous outfit, just to go to the grocery store because if the paparazzi sees you in anything less stunning, you'll be ridiculed for days on end.

Love is almost non existent. Who can deal with the constant flashing lights? You're basically asking your significant other if it's ok with them to have their life documented and picked apart under a microscope.

I met someone almost a year ago, and fell in love with her. I didn't make an announcement saying she was my girlfriend because I didn't care what anyone thought. For the first time ever, I was with someone that just made me want to be, me. The girl I'm referring to is Karlie Kloss. I love her more than anything in this world. Being with Karlie has been amazing. She's my rock, my shoulder to cry on and more importantly, my best friend. I love her so much and yet, I did the unthinkable, I broke her heart.

I'm not perfect, far from it actually. I make mistakes and apologize for them but sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes you have to just grow up and own it. Today, I'm here to own it.

Karlie, if you're watching this, please know that I love you so much. I want to give you the one and only thing I can that cannot be bought. I want to give you all of me. I've been thinking about this for quite sometime now and I'm ready to retire. I'm ready to settle down and be with my one true love, if you'll have me back. I'm sorry for what I did and I'm sorry for embarrassing you and your family. But I need you Karlie and I'm not afraid to tell the whole world that. Please give me another chance.

My retirement will go into effect immediately following the end of my tour.

To my fans, I hope you support my decision.

I love you.

Goodnight

As Taylor got up from her chair, the news broadcaster took the microphone.

"There you have it ladies and gentleman, Taylor Swift, the music industry's most influential person, has just announced her retirement effective immediately following the end of her tour.
Thank you and goodnight."

"Ohhhh shit Karlie. She's not fucking around." Cara said as she covered her mouth with her hand.

Karlie's eyes were filled with tears.

"She's willing to give me all that she has? I can't let her do that."

Karlie grabbed her phone and called Taylor.

"Hello?"

"Taylor, what are you doing? You can't do that. You've worked too hard."

"Karlie, it's done. I love you so much and I didn't know any other way of proving that to you. I had been thinking about retiring for quite some time anyway and our relationship just helped me make that decision more solid. I'm a jerk and I fucked up and I'm so sorry Karlie. I'm so so sorry. I can't do this without you. I need you. Please give me another chance."

"Taylor, I need to see you."

"Text me the hotel you're staying at. My plane is already fueled all I have to do is call my pilot. I'll see you soon."

-------

Five hours later, Taylor arrived. She went to knock on the door, but it swung open before she could as Karlie pulled her in. Instantly they were lip locked. Taylor ran her hands through Karlie's hair as the model kissed her neck, mouthing the words 'I love you' against her flesh. Karlie pulled away slowly as she cupped the singers face, wiping away a single tear that fell.

"Baby, are you sure about this?"

Taylor smiled as she said, " I've never been more sure about anything. I love you and I don't want to let you go. I want a future with you. I want to be the one to wipe away your tears when you cry and to hold you when you're scared. I want to do a silly dance to make you laugh and carry you to bed when tired. I want to give you a massage when you've had a long day at work and hug you when you're feeling alone. I want to be the one who's heart beats against your chest at night and who's name is screamed in moments of passion. I want you. I want all of you. But most of all, I want to be your wife."

Taylor took a step back as she opened her handbag and pulled out a small box. She slowly, got on one knee, as she looked up at Karlie.

"Karlie, I have nothing left to give but the love I have for you. Will you marry me?"
