******** DISCLAIMER ******** This story is a work of Fiction, and bears no resemblance to any real life events. Any similarities are pure coincidence. Think of this story as a novel that has Taylor and Karlie cast as the characters- NOT a story about their personal lives. ***************************** When Taylor shows up to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013 filming, she had no idea that she would become friends with so many of the models, and she never expected to have become something more with one of them. When the waters get rough, can the two brave the storm together? In a story of mixed feelings and uncertainty, Karlie and Taylor finally realize that they're ready to run into love, head first.

Karlie doesn't do relationships. She prefers emotionless hook ups, but could Taylor change that? Would she even want to? Could a sex only relationship escalade into something more?

I just don't know what to say. Dammit, I don't even know what to think. How in the world can I figure out the right words for a situation like this? What would I tell her? "Sorry, man. You're great and I do think you're beautiful and funny and smart, but I should warn you beforehand that nothing will ever happen between us 'cause I'm still not really over my dead fiancé who, by the way, I can still see and talk to once a year... Oh yeah, I see dead people." That doesn't seem like a great option for me.

Love holds regrets, but flames burn in memories.

Sequel to Collateral Damage. Please read only if you have previously read Collateral Damage. *Two years later...*

My own interpretation of the realistic Kaylor timeline, written to be as realistic and descriptive as possible. This is a work of fan FICTION. I do not mean any disrespect towards anyone being written about and am aware that all of these events and dynamics between characters are completely fictionalized. #27 in Fanfiction at its peak.

taylor is becoming distant and detached from her friends and one night reluctantly goes out with them. what follows suit is something she never expects

Taylor's an international superstar and Karlie's a college student. That's the whole problem.

"You were 25 when you found yourself. You were 26 when you lost that knowledge all over again." Wrong place, wrong time. It's a phrase used constantly by the media. But you never thought it would happen to you. And you never thought it would mean leaving everything behind. The fame, the fans, Karlie. Because you can't be Taylor Swift anymore. The stakes are too high. But what do you do when the past you're running so hard from finds you all over again?
