Corrie heard someone at the door. She didn't feel like getting up to answer it, but she heard another knock that gave her the signal that no one else was going to. She walked to the door and didn't even bother to check to see who it was. She was too tired. She opened the door and seeing who was in front of her quickly woke her up.
"Trevor. What are you doing here?" she asked, confused and a little angry.
"Corrie, I am really sorry. I was just..." he paused for a moment. Suddenly all of the rehearsing he had just done slipped his mind. "I thought since I was going off to college that it would be better to break it off sooner then later," he finished.
"But it's not like your going that far. I would be able to see you every day, Trevor," she told him.
"I know, and I'm sorry," he repeated.
"You seem to be saying that a lot lately. I don't know, maybe... maybe we're just not supposed to work out," she said, trying to believe herself.
Trevor stood there, chocolates in one hand, a dozen orchids in the other. "Corrie," was all he could say, feeling as if he were nearly in tears.
She stood there with a lump in her throat. She didn't want to end it, but her mind was telling her that she should. "I'm sorry," she said, closing the door.
Trevor couldn't let her just walk out of his life. She meant to much to him.
Corrie leaned on the door and slid down to the floor just as tears slid down her cheeks.
Trevor started to walk away, but then turned back. He quickly knocked on her door again while he still had the courage.
Corrie stopped crying for a moment when she heard someone knock on the door behind her. 'Trevor left, didn't he?' she thought to herself. She quickly got up and opened the door to see Trevor standing there again.
He saw she was crying and tried to figure out what to say. Suddenly it all poured out. "Corrie, please just give me another chance. Maybe I keep messing up because I've never felt like this. I've never had this strong of a connection with someone. I've never cared about someone like I care about you. It's new to me. Every other girlfriend I've had, I compare to you, but there's no comparison. You're the one I want to be with. And I know we're young but that doesn't matter. I really care about you and I can't picture myself without you." Trevor still had the flowers and candy in his hand and was reminded of that by Corrie.
She smiled and looked down at his hands. "Are those for me?" she asked.
"Yeah," he said, quickly handing them to her. The smile remained on her face as she took them from him and walked into her house.
Trevor sighed of relief and followed Corrie inside.
