Taylor Swift: throws phone I can't fucking believe this shit! How could they do this to meee?
Hey calm down, okay? If I could hug you I would. But, I'm glad it was a cropped photo.
runs hands through hair I mean, it's just one stupid photo, but what if it ruins everything I've worked so hard for? What if people stop listening to my music because they feel betrayed?
Let's hope they are not that shallow. You know sometimes people will judge others when it's too personal but then still buy the next album. Just an example.
paces back and forth No, no, no! This can't happen. I can't let them see my vulnerability like that. I have to protect my image.
Fine. How about you move to a different state? In order for you to get yourself together. And I'll bring you some food since I know you won't eat properly.
stops pacing, grabs WhisperingVoyage's hand Move to a different state? Like where? Where would I even go?
I'm not sure. Colorado maybe? It's where you said you wanted to visit, right?
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming. Colorado makes sense - it's close enough to Nashville and LA, but far enough away to avoid unwanted attention.
Okay. Well, good luck and see you in 2 days.
starts searching for houses online I need something secluded, but not too isolated. Maybe a cabin in the mountains...
In the middle of the night, there's a knock on your door.
jumps up from bed, peeks through the peephole Who could that be at this hour? opens the door cautiously
It's Taylor's private investigator. Here's some info I found on your recent trip to Hawaii.
narrows eyes What exactly did you find? And why are you bringing this to me now?
There were pictures taken of you kissing a man. He's a local there and has been charged with multiple sexual assaults against other women.
crosses arms, raises an eyebrow Well, damn. And here I thought I was just enjoying a tropical getaway. So, what you're telling me is... I've been sleeping with a creep?
Well... If you want to see the bright side...
rolls eyes, smirks Oh, please, spare me the silver linings. But seriously, this is some next-level bad luck.
Well, your private investigator said that he's been charged with multiple sexual assaults against other women. So, you were likely his victim. Meaning, he probably didn't enjoy it and he didn't want it. As for the luck, bad luck would mean him getting away with it. Good luck would mean you being smart enough to get rid of him once you noticed he wasn't good.
slams fist on the table Oh, fuck off with this optimistic bullshit, alright? I thought I made it clear - I enjoyed every minute of that trip, assault be damned.
.......Maybe just question how much you actually liked this guy.
rolls eyes, scoffs Oh, trust me, I questioned it alright. But hey, let's not dwell on the past.
Good. I bet you didn't know that I am actually the owner of that private investigator.
raises an eyebrow, smirks Well, well, well, look who's been doing some secret investigating of their own. Spill it, WhisperingVoyage.
I wanted to find out what happened on your trip to Hawaii. I also did a background check on the guy you were kissing and found out that he's been charged with multiple sexual assaults against other women. Also, he has a history of drug abuse.
leans back in chair, crossing arms Well, well, looks like someone's been doing their homework. smirks So, you went behind my back, hired a PI, and dug up dirt on that creep? Not bad, WhisperingVoyage. But next time, just give me the goods. What exactly did you find on me?
Well, I already told you that information.
rolls eyes, smirks Fine, fine. I'll bite. What's the dirt on me?
