 Karlie's P.O.V

Glancing out the window of a small jet on my way to Las Vegas I can't help but sigh. It's been ages since I was last given the chance to hang out with Taylor and now when I'm finally allowed to, it's in the company of HAIM, Selena and Ellie which doesn't worry me but sometimes it would be nice to be able to hang out with my best friend alone. "...arlie, did you hear me?" I turn at the mention of my name and see Taylor and Selena sitting side by side and Ellie looking at me. I guess it was her that called my name. "Yeah, I agree with you Ellie." I say which makes Ellie turn and face me with a shocked look, even Taylor and Este Haim look at me. "What?" I question and Este only shakes her head while Taylor actually looks away. 'Well that hurt.' I decide while turning back to the window. Only aware of someone next to me when Ellie places her hand on my thigh, above my knee. I turn and face her, "what did I do wrong now Ellie?" I whisper trying not to let everyone know that I wasn't actually listening. Ellie sighs and looks at me with sadness, which is something I wish she wouldn't do. "We were discussing Taylor and Adam or Calvin whatever you want to call him, and Taylor asked if she should start sleeping with him and I said it wouldn't hurt to and then..." My mouth drops open in horror, "and then I agreed with you." I state finishing off Ellie's sentence as she nods and looks at me again. I heave out another sigh and look to Taylor who is in a deep conversation with Selena, 'probably discussing techniques or something.' I decide as Ellie moves back to her seat and chats with Alana or baby Haim. I turn and look out at the darkening sky and for the first time ever I am wondering why I am even friends with Taylor. It's no secret we don't spend a lot of time together, which isn't my fault. It's her management's fault, apparently after the VOGUE shoot they all decided that time apart would be good which my management didn't agree with but Taylor's held firm and moved her out to L.A more so we were apart and made sure we were never at the same events. This is the first time I've seen Taylor since the V.S show in December and it's now March and the fandom called 'Talvin' has been happening since the Britt Awards when Ellie introduced them. I didn't have an issue with it at the beginning but now I'm not liking it as much, sure Taylor deserves to be able to date who she wants but in the time that I've known her we have always been close, hand holding and hugging but with Calvin all I see is a bit of distant hand holding. Nothing more or less.

Taylor's P.O.V

This trip that management planned to go to Las Vegas sounded fun in the beginning but now as I look around the darkened cabin due to Haim, Ellie and Selena being asleep I can't help but notice how cold it is too. Looking towards the back of the plane I see Karlie with her headphones in bopping her head to the music and I can't help but feel a surge of feelings emerge. It's been awhile since we last hung out in private, the last time I saw her was at the V.S Show where I performed but once it was done I was gone on a plane back to the States. It's times like these that I sit back and notice that my life isn't my own anymore, my family has always told me to be true to who I am but I'm beginning to notice that I may not be able to do that anymore. It's no secret amongst those I trust the most that I am a closet lesbian and that I prefer the company of females over males but the one person who has no idea of this is Karlie. Sighing I look down at my lap and see my phone, clicking it on I scroll through recent messages and I finally find the one I'm looking for from Karlie. The only one that's ever truly broken my heart to read. "Hey Taylor, I understand if you don't respond to this message due to your management blocking me from spending more than five minutes with you at the moment. I don't really mind as long as your happy. Are you happy Taylor? I hope you find what your looking for, I know our friendship will probably fracture into a million tiny pieces but I just wanted you to know that I'm a lesbian, well closeted one but still very much a lover of the female species and I wanted you to know that I Love You. This will probably mean nothing to you due to us just being friends so I will never act on it or make you feel weirded out but I just wanted you to know. Love Sunshine :)" Reading through the message again I am almost overcome with how vulnerable it is and how it comes from a place of absolute true happiness but that was nearly a year ago and I doubt she feels that way anymore, not after agreeing with Ellie about having sex with Calvin. I can't even believe that I've never told Karlie how much I love her but it seems mute now to tell her owing to us being on a plane bound for Las Vegas where my supposed boyfriend is playing a set tonight. Closing down my phone I take one last look at Karlie and realise for the first time in my life I have no idea what I'm doing.
