You were staring at the computer screen, pen clicking in one hand and tugging your hair with the other. You had an important work project and you had to get it done or you would get fired. You already picked up a night shift and you cant stand to lose this job.

You typed in the information wrong and you got frustrated and slammed your hand on to the desk and tugged on your hair harder.

You were just frustrated and confused. It seems as if everything you did was wrong and you couldnt focus and you hated yourself for feeling this way. You propped your elbow on the desk and put your head on your hand.

You let a few tears fall, but when you heard footsteps you immediately wiped them away and got back to work.

Taylor's hands make their way around you and she put her head on your shoulder

"You okay baby?" She asked, kissing your cheek
"im fine" you mumbled
"I haven't seen you sleep in awhile"
"yeah you know i took night shifts"

She cupped your chin and turned you to face her

"When was the last time you slept?"

She noticed the extremely dark circles under your eyes

"I dont know" you shrugged
"Y/n tell me the truth"
"2 days.." you mumbled under your breath
"What?" She questioned, not hearing you
"I havent slept in two days"

Her eyes widen as she had seen ghost

"What?! Y/n thats not healthy. Why haven't you been sleeping"

"Ive been busy"

"Thats not a real reason!" She said still in shock

"Taylor you don't understand" you said as you looked down to play with a loose string on your shirt

"Then help me understand" she said as she caressed your cheek

"I've been really stressed, between my day shifts and night shifts. I come back home and work but i cant do anything right and it just makes me spiral." You ranted

"Why did you get a night job?"

"Cause.. cause i felt like i wasnt doing enough"

"What do you mean baby?"

"Look at you, you do so much. And all i do is.. i dont know, work at some stupid job just to earn some of my own money to feel in control of my life"

"Honey, you are perfect. And i get that you want control of your life trust me i do,but you're overworking yourself, and stressing yourself out too. You dont have enough sleep either. When was the last time you ate?"

"Uh..yesterday?" You said quietly

"Y/n, i love you. You're doing more harm then you are good for yourself right now. Lets go eat."

You just silently nodded and followed her to the dining table where there was already pasta waiting there. You pick up the fork and started eating.

"Y/n, whats the point of having control if you're hurting yourself" she asked

"I-i don't know..its just feels like- im no good for anything, like im useless"

"Y/n dont be silly, you are not useless. You do so much for people, like you did for me. You changed my life" she walked over to your side of the table and gave you a big big hug.

"I love you tay"
"I love you too, so much"
