I find myself running home to your sweet nothings

-Taylors pov-

"yay we are going home" Thea bounces as we exit the car, getting ready to board the plane from Singapore. I've had some concerts here over the last two weeks, and now it's time to leave this beautiful country. Travis joined us for the last few shows, so he gets to leave with us this time.

"Remember we are going to LA, not back to Kansas City" I remind her. It's funny how after less than a year I automatically think of Kansas City as my home. It's the place I feel safest, even tho it's the place I have the least security. It's not like New York where I have a security command center in the next-door apartment to make sure I'm safe. There is no need for that. I have a few security guards who live in the guard house on rotation, and that is it. There is no need for more when I get to live so peacefully there.

"I know Mommy. But it is one of our houses, so it's kind of like going home. Rambo and Chauncey won't be there, but the kitties will" she adds. Thea has fallen in love with Travis's dogs. She always called herself a cat girl, but over the last year since she met those dogs, she has fallen head over heels for them. She still loves our cats, but the dogs are gaining brownie points with her.

"That's right. The kitties are meeting us there"

Travis helps Thea put on her frozen backpack and grab his own, while I grab mine, and we head to the jet. Thea picked her new backpack all on her own before we started the Asian leg. It was a special thing so she could carry around a special backpack. It's one of the things I did to make it more fun for her.

We board the jet, with Travis's friends joining us from another car. They shouldn't have to take a commercial jet all the way home when they can grab a ride with us. They will just take the short plane ride, commercially, from LA back to Kansas City.

"Thea, a little girl last night gave me this friendship bracelet to give to you," Tree says as I'm getting Thea situated in her chair. She hands Thea a pink bracelet with her name on it and Thea smiles big. "wow it's so pretty. Maybe she wants to be my friend?"

"she said to tell you hi, and that you're really pretty" Tree adds before taking her own seat.

Thea puts the bracelet on and shows it off to travis. He is sitting beside me, opposite her, at the table, with my dad beside her. We are going to eat some dinner before ill let thea sleep in the bedroom on the jet. Conveniently, there is a more comfortable place for her to sleep here, which means less jet lag for her.

It's a seventeen-hour flight, so I try to get comfy in my seat as we take off. I don't mind flying, it's a convenient way to get around. It's also the safest way for me to get from one country to another, to fly private. It's just not safe for me to take a commercial flight when I'm at the top of my career. We have weighed the risks, and it's just not worth it for me and the other passengers. My team gets constant threats against me from crazed fans, stalkers, and other groups that hate me. A constant threat assessment is done to make sure I'm safe, and that everyone around me is too.

That's why I don't speak on global issues going on around the world. Because I have a lot of people to keep in mind. Not only in my personal life but also at my concerts. Maybe I will say something after the tour is done, but even then it's risky. It puts so many people at risk, that the threat level is too high. Of course, I support a country's right to freedom, but I'm not in a position where it's safe to express that publicly. I have to be really careful about the things I do and say because it has consequences for thousands of people who come to my shows.

During the flight Thea ends up in Travis's lap, sound asleep, instead of in the perfectly good bedroom. She sleeps against him like a koala, and somehow he finds sleep as well. We did move to more comfortable chairs tho than the ones around the table, so we could relax more comfortably. The chair travis is on can be reclined and the footrest raised, so it's almost like a bed. I head over to the cupboard and grab a quilt to lay over the two of them.
