Kaylor Stories

Track 11.

Taylor's pov:

"Taylor put your phone down" she states for the third time from her place right next to me

I continue to read the comments that pile up on Twitter "They hate us" I look to her as we both lay in bed

She takes my phone from my hand and sets it behind her

"Karlie" I sigh

"I said to put it down"

I stare at her

"You need to stop doing this to yourself. The comments are bullshit-"

"Apparently so is our relationship" I cut her off

She groans "Taylor please. I don't want to know that. That's ridiculous and a complete lie. They know nothing about us" she explains

I shrug as I stare at my legs that are outstretched in front of me

"Why is it that every relationship I have is a PR stunt or fake and never supported? All I ever get is hate" I look to my girlfriend who is in no way surprised by my statements

"They're jealous. They're too scared to use their own voice and instead follow the crowd. They're bullshit not us" she grabs my hand

I crack a smile

"Don't let them in that's what they want. If you don't let them in then they can't get us"

"But that's so hard Karlie. That's unrealistic. Everywhere we go there's someone that will shout at us disapprovingly. I feel so..restricted and restrained. Like the only place we're safe is here or in bed"

She sighs "You're right. But that's always how it's going to be. Even normal people have this problem. Yours is just bigger. But you can't forget about your millions of fans Tay. They support you no matter what. Remember when that store was trying to sell shirts with a list of all of your boyfriends names on them? And then your fans rallied against it and they didn't sell them anymore?"

I nod

"Remember when people would track your jet but then your fans spoke out about it and got Tree's attention?" She asks

I nod again

"Or how about that time when you disappeared for a while and any time that a fan would meet anyone that had a connection with you, they would ask how you were and if you were okay?"

"Yes Karlie I remember" I roll my eyes playfully

"Good because that is you army. They will take care of the haters. All you have to do is love me. All that your fans want is for you to be happy" she leans in

I kiss her lips "Thank you" I say against them

"I love you"

"I love you too" I smile with my head against hers. My arms reaches over her to grab my phone

"Oh no you don't" she laughs while pushing me away.

"Ready to go?" Karlie asks as I stand in the bathroom with my hand holding a lipstick bottle

"Yep" I put the tube away before following after my girlfriend who looks beautiful in her scarlet dress. Mine is just black as usual. We're headed to my parents house for an early Christmas party. But may I say that it's December 10 meaning my birthday is in three days. I'm not excited. I can't believe I'll be 28. Time really does go by fast whether you realize it or not.

"Oh honey you look beautiful" Mom hugs me just as I walk into the door

"Thank you"
