Karlie's P.O.V

"You know what, I can't handle this anymore. I'm sorry." I look at her blankly as she moves backwards and begins to play with her hands. I stop and freeze in place. "What?" I question as she looks up at me and horror fills her face as she moves her hands to her mouth, "what did you say?" I question moving towards her. "Oh Karlie I didn't meant that, please." I heave out a sigh and step backwards to avoid any type of touch that could happen. "Yeah you did." I state looking up as she freezes in her spot and looks down before scratching at her elbow. Something that she always did when she was lying or felt uncomfortable and that was when I knew that she did mean it, and that meant that to me we could no longer be together. "Why did you say it then? If you didn't mean it," I state as she looks up and notices me looking at her elbow where she is scratching, the minute she sees that I've noticed she stops and goes to open her mouth but I stop her straight away and say. "Never mind,"
"You don't mean that Karlie." She says, well begs really. It's her pleading voice. I turn my head away and say, "I mean it because you meant what you said. I think that we both rushed into this and I can't be with someone who has doubts and can't handle this anymore so yeah Toni I do mean it."
"Is there anything that I can do to change your mind?" Toni questions looking at me with eyes that are begging me to forgive her but I shake my head determined. "No. I'm sorry but you can't take back what you just said. I've never made this difficult and I've been honest from the start as to how hard this would be but I asked you and you assured me that you could handle it and you said you could but now you suddenly can't." I aggressively say forcing Toni to step backwards as if my words were knives attacking her. "I really thought that I could handle it, but the paparazzi, continuous shoots together. I think we were better as friends." She continues to state as if I'm really that interested in what she has to say now. "Friends?" I question shocked that she would even consider it. She nods, "yeah I thought that since we didn't...that maybe we could be..." I cut her off before she can finish. "No, I don't do ex-relationships and friendships. I'm sorry Toni but this is it. If I see you of course I'll be nice but that's it. Using your words 'I can't handle it'." I watch Toni lower her head and nod as if she understands but I know how harsh I am being but this is cutting me deep. My first serious relationship with a woman since I was fifteen and she tells me she is ready and then changes her mind. I can't handle people like that and I have no time for people like that either. "Sorry, but no." I state stepping away and turning towards my front door, before opening it I say, "Take whatever is yours if I find something else I'll mail it to you. Leave your key too please." I state as she nods obviously numb by my cold attitude but little does she know how hard I am fighting to hold it together so she doesn't see me cry. 'Hold it together Kloss, she doesn't deserve your tears.' I let the door shut behind me and walk outside into the sunshine before turning right and walking.

Taylor's P.O.V

"It'll leave you breathless...blank space baby, and I'll write your name..." I say nodding my head backwards and forwards as I hunch over my piano with my guitar resting on my lap, a pencil behind my ear as I try out different cords on my guitar before finding the right sound that I'm always thinking about in my head, day or night when my phone vibrates next to me. I jump at the shock almost everyone knows that I'm in the middle of finalizing songs for the next album due out in like six month but finalisation for songs is in two weeks and I've got one more session with Shellback and Max Martin so I'm hoping to have something down. I look down at the page and notice that I've almost figured out the chorus so I'm happy with that. Putting my pencil down I pick up my phone. Text Message from: Super Sunshine Kloss which makes me laugh as I remember the day that we picked out names for each other to put in the contact list. I'm pretty sure mine is still the same one I picked out Superwoman Swift but who would know. I never changed Karlie's instead adding a sunshine emoji to the end to make it official. Clicking on the message it appears before me in Karlie's short text language 'Whr r u? I need hlp n 2 d shppin s hurry!' I had to laugh as I read between the lines and converted it to English so it made sense to my straight forward brain, 'where are you? I need help and need to do shopping so hurry!' Laughing I text out. 'I'm writing where are you? Come over if you want.' I wait as I see her view the message and without wasting a moment more her contact shows up as she is calling me. "Karlie." I state.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Tay, I completely forgot that you were writing today and in solitude..."
"Oh it's okay, what's up for you to need a shopping trip? Are you okay?" I hear a pause and I say, "Karlie. What is it?" I hear a muffled voice and a deep breath. 'Shit she's crying Swift.' I think as I wait for her knowing she wouldn't want me to make a big deal out of the crying. "Toni and I we just broke up and I just need to get my head around it...but don't worry I might go to the gym." I waste no time in replying to her saying, "you'll do no such thing, come over I've got a fresh batch of gluten free chocolate chip cookies in my cookie jar plus some pecan ice-cream and I may be making vegetable stir-fry for dinner tonight too..." I state trying to encourage her even more.
"Okay..." I hear her say in a small voice. "Just for the cookies, ice-cream and stir-fry..." she continues as I laugh. "So practically to raid my food stash?"
"Yeah, I guess I'm like twenty minutes away. I've been walking around, hold up I see a sign. Scratch the last thing, I'm like just down from your apartment. Give me like five if that. I can see Sean on guard. Want me to come in the back?" I listen and shake my head but then I remember she can't see me. "Nope I'll text Sean. See you soon babe." I say and quickly hang up before she can question me.
'Babe? Really Swift, why couldn't you just say I love you next time?' I question myself before texting Sean and putting everything away and contemplating going to change from my pyjama shorts and tank-top but then the doorbell goes and I glance at the clock. 'That was fast.' I walk to the door and let Karlie in. As she walks in and kicks off her shoes she turns to me. "So, babe huh?" I feel like melting into a puddle.
