I have cancer - echoed in the singers ear.

Taylor ran over to Karlie, pulling her close as the model cried in her arms. "I'm sorry Taylor. I'm so sorry for not telling you."

Taylor tried to remain as strong and as calm as she possibly could be, without allowing any tears to fall but inside, she was a wreck. She didn't know what to do or how to fix this. She felt absolutely helpless. Worst of all, she blamed Karlie for cheating, still proving that she doesn't fully trust her.

"Kar,  I have so many questions and I know you probably don't want to talk about this now bu-.."

"I started to have pain in my abdomen around the time that you and I weren't in a good place. It would come and go, so I decided to go to my gynecologist and she did some tests and told me that cancer could be a possibility. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry plus I didn't want you to feel bad for me and decide to try and make us work, out of sympathy."

"The tests came back yesterday that I tested positive for uterine cancer. It's not particularly common in women my age, but a small percentage has been known to be diagnosed with it. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. This morning I went for a run because, I don't know, it just hit me all at once. I didn't pick up my family until almost 3pm because I just pulled over and cried. I just didn't know how I was going to tell my mom and my sisters. Most of all, I didn't know how I was going to tell you. We're supposed to be getting married in two weeks and all that ran through my head was the possibility of me not being here to watch our kids grow up."

By this point, tears are streaming down the singers face. Taylor is falling apart but can't even imagine what must be going through Karlie's head right now. She wiped her tears and put on a brave face.

"Ok, we are going to get through this. We'll cancel the wedding. I'll pay whatever the fee would have been, had people not donated their services. When do we need to go to the doctors? What stage is it? Do you need surgery?"

"Taylor, hold on. We are NOT canceling the wedding."

"Karlie, we are. We need to get you well. Let me help you. We'll research the best doctors money can buy. I don't care what we have to do, I refuse to lose you."

"I'm marrying you Taylor. I don't care what stage it is. I'm making you my wife, even if it's the last thing I do. You're my everything and I waited so long for this. You're my happy ever after. Please don't take that away from me. I don't know what stage it is right now. I'm supposed to see the doctor next week."

"NEXT WEEK? Why can't she see you tomorrow."

"Tay, she can. But we're going to Nashville. I told her it has to wait until next week. We have Nashville and then our bachelorette party on Saturday. My appointment is for Monday."

"We're not waiting Karlie. We're canceling Nashville. We were only going to taste cake. It can wait. You're too important to me. Listen to me. We are going to get through this TOGETHER. I'll be right there with you every step of the way. I love you more than anything in this world."

Karlie smiled as she wiped Taylor's tears. The singer hadn't even realized that she had been crying.

"Ok. Tomorrow I'll call the doctor."

The two girls made their way back to bed. Tonight it was Taylor who wrapped her arms tight, around the models body, praying that everything will be ok.

Taylor hadn't slept all night. She had just held Karlie and stroked her hair for hours. It was now 7am and she was still watching the love of her life sleep. Roughly an hour later, she stroked the models arm as she whispered in her ear, "Karlie, it's time to get up. We need to go to the doctors."
