"I HATE HER"

31.

This chapter is really long and took an eternity to write. Enjoy!

As Taylor saw the caller ID, she felt anger boiling up, mixed with a slight feeling of hope. The hope that she would finally face an apology from no one else but Karlie Elizabeth Kloss, who otherwise never seemed to apologize. But all of that quickly faded into one feeling. A basic, pointless one. It was the annoying feeling of confusion, that she started to feel as soon as a strangers voice suddenly greeted her back. 

"No, not Karlie.", the voice said. She had a slight accent that reminded Taylor of someone, yet when wasn't quite able to put her finger on it. "My name is Toni, Toni Garrn."

"Yeah we met at the Victoria's secret fashion show, didn't we?"

"Yes, uhm I was calling because of Karlie.", Taylor couldn't help but hear the worry in her voice. There must be something clearly wrong with the brunette model. 

"She is kind of having a crisis right now."

A brief explanation of the past events a talk with her bodyguards and a short car ride later and Taylor was anxiously standing in front of Toni Garrns door, waiting for her to open up. The German had given her a pretty good view of what had been going on in the past hours. 

Even though she was there at Toni's request, Taylor still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her own skin. Being new to someone's house always made her nervous, but even worse was the fact that she hardly knew Toni. They may have exchanged one, maybe two sentences at the show, but that was about it. She didn't know anything about Karlies friend. Heck she wasn't even aware they were such close friends. 

Then suddenly the door got opened, pulling Taylor out of her many thoughts into the reality. "Thank you for coming, she is in the living room.", the other blonde greeted the singer and wrapped her in a quick but thankful hug. 

Taylor just mumbled a quiet "No problem." and followed her inside, not having any idea where this living room actually was. While walking there she quickly wrapped herself out of her coat, mainly to have something to do. 

As she then finally faced Karlie, sitting on the couch, with red puffy eyes and dark rings under them, her hair a tousled mess, who held a cup in her hand that was slightly shaking, she felt her heart drop in her chest. Something was definitely up with the model, you could immediately see that. Something had broken her and now it was showing. 

"Karlie?", Taylor asked carefully, not sure whether or not she was supposed to keep a distance and therefore remained cluelessly standing in the doorway. 

As soon as Karlie saw her, she stretched out her left hand and quietly said the singers name, breaking into sobs while doing so. A heartbreaking sight, that caused tears to fill in Taylor's eyes, which she quickly blinked away while rushing forward towards Karlie; she had to be strong right now. 

"Shh, it's okay babe.", Taylor didn't even notice that this was officially the first time she had called Karlie any other then by her name. Presumably on any other day, this wasn't the right thing to say. It would just trigger Karlies fear of bonding, maybe even cause her too freak out. But this time it was a word of comfort. It was a word of safety, of the love that Taylor felt for her girlfriend. "It's okay, I am not mad anymore."

"It- It hurts so much.", Karlie managed to bring out in between her sobs, her voice sore from all the crying. 

With a quick motion the singer wrapped Karlie in the warmth of a tight hug and began rubbing her back while cooing comforting words into her ear. Karlie quickly also wrapped her arms around the girl and buried her face in Taylors shoulder. The blondes coat had been forgotten on the floor, it wasn't important right now. All that counted for Taylor was Karlie and nothing else. "It's okay, I am here. I am here baby."
