Hello my loyal, no not loyal, royal readers. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't writing up these stories. Anyway, I would like to take some time to tell about where I stand at my stories and at what other projects I've got going on.

With my stories, the ones I have out are the ones I'm solely going to focus on, but I have a Troyella that I'm writing in times when I'm stumped. It's based off a book called "Bound" and hopefully in about a couple weeks, it'll be coming out. This one is going to be slightly different than what I normally do. It's going to focus on the tradition of the Chinese culture of binding the girl's feet and how painful it is. Gabriella refuses to get them bound, so she is basically bound to be neglected and die alone, but what happens when a certain someone starts taking a liking to her? Well, like I've said, I hope to have this story out soon.

Some of you may have read my other story "How Can They Not Tell" right? Well, the sequel to that is coming out soon, just as soon as I finish the video sequel to it that I have on youtube. Oh, little advertising bit, I have a youtube account and if you want to check out some of my Troyella/Zanessa vids, check my profile, I'll have it up soon.

Last thing, I'm thinking of changing my penname into something a bit more original. So soon, my penname is going to be: kittyKAT. I'm just telling you all now, so you don't find a new chapter by this person and go 'Who the heck is this?'

Umm, I think that is everything, so on with the story!

CHAPTER EIGHT
The Breaking Point

Sitting in Danny's car, I gazed out the window and watched the trees fly by. "Trevor," I sighed.

"Corrie," Danny said, "you need to let him go. He used you."

"But I can't! I love him…and I always will."

"But he doesn't love you," Danny pulled over, "I do!"

Stunned, I stared at him. He leaned in close, I could feel his hot breath against my skin.

"Corrie," he said, cupping my face in his hands, "I love you." He leaned so close that his lips brushed against mine until they actually touched me.

"Danny, no!" I pushed him away, leaning close to the door of the car.

"Why, Corrie?" Danny unlocked his seatbelt and turned to me. "Corrie, he doesn't care about you. I do. I love you."

"But Danny, I don't feel…" I started.

"Don't feel what!" he was angry, "The same?"

The look in his eyes scared me and I put my hand on the door.

"I'm sorry," he was suddenly sweet, "But I care about you so much, so much."

(Trevor's POV)
At the Tipton

I was getting restless. I had to tell Corrie. Heading toward the entrance of the Tipton, I ran into one of Corrie's friends.

"Trevor," the dark-haired mistress said, "Trevor, there you are."

Embarrassed that she knew my name, but I was void of hers, I turned around. "I'm sorry. I don't think I ever caught your name."

"That's okay," she brushed it off, "My name's Mary Margaret. You haven't seen Corrie around haven't you."

"No," I answered, feeling a bit better that I now knew her name, "But I really need to talk to her."

"I know," she answered, "Where is she?"

"I last saw her at her locker. I was going to tell her, but Danny appeared. Now I have no way of contacting her."

"Do you have her cell number?"

"No, I don't…"

"Well, here. I think she'll at least listen to you," she answered, dictating the number as I punched it into my phone's memory.

"Thank you! I could just kiss you," she looked at me weird, "But I can't. My heart belongs to Corrie, you know that, right?"

"I know," she smiled, "I was just kidding. I hope you can get through to her."

"I do too," I answered, a little less confident that she might be angry with me.

As Mary Margaret walked away, I called Corrie, hoping that I would get her.

Ring….Ring….Ring…Ring…

I was getting worried. "What if she doesn't pick up?"

Ring…Ring…Ring…

Growing less and less confident, I leaned against the wall.

Ring…Ring…

"Hello?"

"Corrie, is it you? It's me, Trevor."

(Corrie's POV)
Feeling my heart pounding against my chest, I found it hard to form my words. "Trevor! I missed you!"

"I miss you too, Corrie. Listen, I need to talk to you."

"About what?" I felt someone tap my shoulder. Looking over, I realized it was Danny and that reminded me of what he told me earlier.

"Look, Corrie, something's happened…"

"Trevor," the confusion from my earlier discovery turning into anger, "I know what's happened. If you think I'm going to sit back and let you take advantage of me, you got it wrong."

"Corrie, what are you talking about?"

"Trevor, don't play games with me. You may think of me just as a hook-up, but you hurt me," the tears now forming in my eyes, "I gave you my heart. I thought that you were my everything. I thought that you were the one."

"Corrie, where did you hear all of this?"

Hearing the sincerity in his voice, the anger I had melted. "Trevor, are you serious?"

Danny looked at me. "Remember, he threatened to hurt me if I told you."

"Corrie," he brought me back into the conversation, "Corrie, talk to me."

"No, Trevor. I've heard enough." I hung up on him, but I couldn't help but still love him. I wanted to call him back. I wanted to apologize that I did that. I wanted to love him.

I looked over to Danny, who smiled at me and I smiled weakly back.

(Trevor's POV)
Hearing the click of the other line, I realized that I just lost her. I lost the only girl who makes my heart leap, who makes me complete.

But I still couldn't wrap my mind around the why she wouldn't talk to me. What did I do? It was over between us, even though I didn't want it to be.

Wandering around the Tipton endlessly, I ran into Maddie. "Hey Trevor!" she said in a perky voice.

"Hi Maddie," I said, pushing the gloom inside away. I shouldn't bring other people down with me.

"Listen, there's this dance in a few weeks and was wonderin' if you wanted to be my date?"

(Corrie's POV)
Regretting what I just said and did, I started crying, hugging my knees to my face.

"Corrie," Danny leaned over and hugged me, "You did the right thing. Everything will be better."

I felt a little hopeful.

"Listen, I know what will cheer you up," he said, starting the car again, "There's this dance in a few weeks. I would love for you to be my date."

(No POVs)
A little reluctant, they both answered, "Ummm, sure."

--------------------------------------------

No, no, no! Everything is going wrong! And it'll all because of that Danny kid! Well, since I love Trevorrie, they won't be apart for long...or will they?

With much love,
KAT
