Title: Coming Undone
Summary: He will do just about anything for her. Why are they not together again? Trevor/Corrie fic.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Not ever.
Trevor stood there for a mere two minutes the least. He didn't know why he was nervous. He has been to her house many times before. And this was no different. So why is he so nervous to enter? He stood there again for another five second, then finally found the courage to raise his fist and knock on the door. A few seconds later, the door open to reveal a little girl, who was only a few inches shorter than him.
"Trevor!" the girl squealed, immediately launching herself at him into an embrace. Trevor couldn't help but chuckle and hug the girl back, momentarily forgetting about his nervousness earlier on.
"Mila!" he said mimicking her earlier greeting. He then placed the girl back down on the ground. "How's my favorite little munchkin?"
"Jeez, you star in one lousy play of Wizard of Oz and you're stuck as munchkin forever. I'll have you know I will be thirteen come next month! I expect this nickname to be banished!"
Trevor couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Aw, but you're such a cute munchkin."
"Fine." she sighed with an eyeroll. "But only you can call me that!"
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Mila smiled at him. "Come on in! Corrie's in the den with Maddie!"
"Oh." he said, his nervousness coming back. He took in a deep breath then made his way through to the familiar path to the den, passing the kitchen on his way where he saw a woman, who's well in her thirties, chopping up some vegetables. "Hey Mrs. Sanchez." he greeted out of habit whenever he saw the woman.
Mrs. Sanchez looked up and smiled at the boy. "Hello Trevor. Are you staying for dinner?"
"Um sure."
"Good. I'll be sure to set up an extra plate."
"Thanks Mrs. Sanchez." he then returned to his journey into the den.
It didn't take long for him to get there. He turned the corner and he was in the den, where he could hear the television on. He saw that Corrie was seated on the floor with Maddie, papers and book sprawled everywhere in front of them, as the TV played The Game Plan.
"Hey." he said, making them turn their attention to him.
"Hey Trevor." they greeted.
"Did you knock?" Corrie asked, standing up from the floor and walking up to him to give him a hug. "Why didn't you use your key?"
"I…" he paused for a bit, trying to think up of a reason. He realized the key was in his pocket, in the same keychain as his car keys. But forgot about it due to his nervousness. "Forgot it at home."
"Oh." Corrie seemed to have bought it.
"You have a key?" Maddie asked with a raised brow.
"Yeah, I gave it to him a while back." Corrie said. "He spends so much time here that he practically lives here so it makes sense."
"Ok." Maddie said with a smirk.
Corrie then turned her attention back to Trevor. "So why are you here? I thought you had to meet up with some classmates?"
"Oh, I already finished that up." he said. "I actually have something to give you."
"Really?" Corrie's eyes suddenly lit up. "What is it?"
"Well…" he dug into his pockets, then took out something that Corrie couldn't decipher. "I have with me, three tickets to Ashley Tisdale's show!" he flashed the tickets in front of her for proof.
Corrie froze, her eyes widening as well as her jaw dropping. For a moment, she couldn't breath, she couldn't even move. When she finally found the will to move her arms, she slowly took her hands and took the tickets from his hands. "Oh my god." she whispered. She then looked up at him, still in shock. "OH MY GOD!" this time it came as a shriek. "Are you serious?" she then looked down at the tickets in her hand to see that it was three admissions to Ashley Tisdale's show. "It is!" the excited squeal escaped from her mouth and she launched herself at Trevor, hugging him tightly.
Trevor laughed in delight, knowing he is the reason for her happiness, as he hugged her back, loving the feel of her in his arms. "I'm guessing you like them?"
"Are you kidding me? I love them!" she squealed pulling back. "Thank you so much Trevor! But wait, why three?"
"On for you, one for me and one for Mila."
"Mila too?"
"Of course. Otherwise that girl would get mad at me if I didn't get her one too."
"But Trevor, that's too much."
"No it isn't. just look at it as an early birthday present."
"Another one?" she smirked. "That's like the fifth early birthday present you've given her. You're spoiling her too much."
"It's no big deal. It's her birthday anyway. You only turn 13 once."
"Fine." she said with an eye roll, knowing she was fighting a loosing battle. "How did you get these anyway?" Trevor tensed at the question.
"Yeah Trevor." Maddie spoke at the question, giving him a smirk. "How did you get those tickets?"
"Uh…" Trevor stuttered, quickly trying to come up with an excuse. "I…got a raise."
"You did?"
"Yeah. It's no big deal."
"It is a big deal. Trevor, you should have used that money to get what you want."
"But this is what I want." he said sincerely, looking into her eyes with a soft smile.
Somehow, Corrie's breath got caught in her throat when he looked at her with that intense gaze. This wasn't the first time she got caught in those electric blue orbs of his and whenever she did, it was as if all the breath was punched out of her. She quickly looked away before she fainted from lack of oxygen.
"I can't believe this." she said softly, still in disbelief, looking at the tickets still in her possession, then back at Trevor. "Thank you so much!" she hugged him again, this time tighter than before.
They stayed in each other's arms for a moment until Corrie pulled back in excitement. "I have to go tell Mila!" with that, Corrie bounced out of the room. "Mila! Guess what I have!" her voice faded as she exited the den.
Trevor sighed in content and happiness, looking back at the entryway of the den where Corrie had just exited.
"You are so stupid." came Maddie's voice.
Trevor jerked his head towards her direction and saw that she was still sitting down on the floor, her face sporting a smirk. "What do you mean."
"You've really got it bad for her."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Oh please Trevor." she rolled her eyes. She stood up and walked up to him, her arms crossed. "We all know that you like her. Heck, we all know you're in love with her."
"I am not!" he exclaimed, thought he blush on his face says otherwise.
"Stop denying it. You're always with her constantly. You talk about her constantly. You go to your little 'hang outs' that you deny is a date and just two friends hanging out. Even though you fail to invite Mary-Margaret and I. you have a key to her house. Mila's practically your little sister. You know Corrie better than any of us, heck you probably know her more than herself. Same goes for her to you. And you got her those Ashley Tisdale tickets."
"So what? That just means we're really good friends." he defended.
Maddie scoffed. "Yeah, you're a really good friend who went far as to beg to London for those tickets."
"How…how did you know about that?" Maddie just gave him a look, to which Trevor sighed. "I knew that girl couldn't shut her mouth even if her life depended on it."
"Don't blame it on London. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you agreed to this."
"Look can you please not tell Corrie? I don't want her finding out about me having to ask London. I have a reputation to uphold."
"She's gonna find out either way."
"But I'd rather she find out later than now. I don't want her to back out of this just because of this stupid agreement I have with London."
"Fine I wont tell her. It'll be more fun that way." she smirked. "But seriously Trevor, you going through great lengths just to get her those tickets. Man, I wish I had a guy who would do that for me." she sighed dreamily.
"If this is another remark on me being in love with Corrie, save it."
"But you are."
"I am not!"
"Trevor, why are you always trying to deny this? You know it's true."
"No, I don't know it's true! And it probably isn't!"
"Uh, yes it is."
"Maddie will you stop! For the last time, I am not in love with Corrie! She is just my best friend. And yeah, I care about her a lot. But as a friend only!"
Maddie just smirked at him. "Fine. Believe whatever you want to believe. But think about this, what is the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about when you go to sleep?" and with that, Maddie left the room as well, following into Corrie's trail.
Trevor was left standing there, thinking about his talk with Maddie. What did she mean? he couldn't deny that the first thought that comes to him when he wakes up is Corrie. He usually thinks about what they'll be doing for the day that he knows will put a smile on her face. And the last thing he thinks about is the day he spent with Corrie. He thinks about how content he feels knowing that he had made Corrie happy once again. But that couldn't mean he's in love with her, right? Right?
Before he could ponder any more, he suddenly felt two small arms reaching up to his back. "Wha…?" he then turned around to see an excited Mila.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" the girls squealed, jumping up into his arms and locked herself into an embrace with him. "You are the best big brother ever!" she squealed, still locking on to him.
A wide smile crept onto Trevor's face and he hugged the girl back. His mind dazed onto Mila's words. Big brother. That sounds nice. His eyes then looked up to see Maddie standing by the entryway with a smirk. Then the realization hit him.

"I don't ask for much, all I want is love
Someone to see, that's all I need
Somebody to be, Somebody to be, Somebody to be
Good to me, good to me, can you be good to me
Good to me, please"
Mila and Corrie danced and sang along to the song in their seat as Trevor drove his car. It was a bit difficult for him to focus on anything when his two favorite girls were dancing like crazy, looking so adorable. But fortunately for him, he hasn't gotten into an accident yet. Today was the day the girls had been waiting for since he gave them those tickets.
Those days leading up to this, Mila and Corrie have spent it getting prepared for the show. Mainly listening to Ashley Tisdale songs non stop, even the ones she did for High School Musical and the Disney Mania CD's. As long as Ashley sang them, they'll sing them as well. Not only that, but Mila and Corrie couldn't stop talking about the show. And during those days, the girls constantly thanked Trevor basically every time they saw him. Trevor loved the constant attention he gets from his girls though, not that they don't give him enough already. He's just happy he made the two of them happy.
During those days as well, Trevor had been dealing with the fact that he is, indeed, in love with Corrie. He also accepted the fact that he probably had been in love with her since the first day he met her, he just didn't know it. Things seemed to be different for him now. He'd stare at Corrie longer, he'd try harder to make her smile and happy. He just couldn't stand to be apart from her for more than a second. And now, he has the sudden urge to kiss her. He held back, of course, not wanting to scare her. He's trying to find the right time to profess his feelings for her. If he ever will. He still hasn't decided. Right now, he's satisfied just making his two girls happy.
"Solo for Trevor!" Corrie suddenly said.
Trevor snapped out of his trance and glanced to Corrie next to him, who was looking at him expectantly. Then he looked at the rearview mirror and saw Mila behind 'woot-ing' and looking expectant as well. Then Corrie gestured to the radio, where it was the rap part of Be Good To Me, and Trevor suddenly realized what they were saying.
"Oh no! No, no!" he said sternly.
"Oh come on Trevor!" "Please!" Corrie and Mila both whined and begged.
"No. I'm perfectly happy just driving thank you very much. Why don't you guys sing this part?"
"But we don't have a deep, manly voice like you." Mila said. "Quick! Before you miss the ending!" just as she said this, Ashley's voice filled the car again. Corrie and Mila groaned and pouted that Trevor had missed his part.
"Don't start pouting at me." Trevor said. "I already got you guys these tickets, and I'm bringing you to the show, that should be enough."
"Fine." Corrie grumbled. "I guess you're off the hook, this time, for being so awesome for getting us these tickets."
"Yeah Trevor, you are the best!" Mila added, leaning closer and giving him a hug from the back.
"Whoa!" Trevor said, thanking god that he had stopped at a stop light. "Driving here munchkin."
"Sorry." she said sheepishly, sitting back down on the seat. "But still, you're pretty awesome!"
"Why thank you, I know." he said with a cocky grin. Corrie rolled her eyes and smacked him playfully on the shoulder. "Ow! What? I didn't call you small!" she hit him again! "Ok, you know what, that's getting really tiring!"
"Well stop insulting me and stop being so egotistic and I'll stop!" she then stuck her tongue out at him.
Trevor couldn't help but chuckle. "How old are you?"
"Um.." she pretended to think it over with an innocent look on her face. "This much." she held up her hand, showing her five fingers. Then she and Mila shared a girly giggled.
Trevor sighed and shook his head. "What did I get myself into."
-
"You're gonna want it (you're gonna want it)
You're gonna like it (yeah yeah)
We don't need no more that he said she said"
The back up dancers and Ashley did a little pose as the music faded away. After a few seconds, the back up dancers began to walk away from the stage, leaving Ashley, who was now grinning and waving at the audience.
"Good afternoon Boston!" Ashley yelled into the mic. The audience replied with shrilling screams, cheers and yells. "Thank you so much for coming, I had a blast!"
The crowd continued to scream. Mila and Corrie included. They basically had the best spot in the crowd, being in front and only having the small barrier getting in between the audience and the stage. Mila and Corrie were only seconds away from climbing over it, but with Trevor there stopping them whenever they got too close to doing so, it never happened. Trevor was probably the only one who wasn't screaming like a maniac. Even though he was excited to see Ashley Tisdale, he wasn't as excited as everyone else. He was more excited and happy at the fact that Corrie was happy. Seeing her eyes lit up, and her excitement just from a performance was enough for him to be happy.
"Thank you all for coming! Hope to see you all again soon!" and with that, Ashley gave them a wave and stepped off the stage while the crowd continued to cheer on.
A few minutes later, the crowd had started to exit the lot and started lining up where Ashley will be doing an autograph signing. As Mila, Corrie and Trevor gathered up their things to go the autograph signing, they suddenly heard someone call their names.
"Corrie!" came another squeal. The three turned to see Maddie, Mary-Margaret and London heading their way. When they finally reached her, Maddie and Mary-Margaret immediately hugged Corrie while London just stood there and continued to text on her phone.
"What are you guys doing here?" Corrie asked once they pulled back.
"We're here to watch Ashley Tisdale, duh!" Maddie said.
"But how?"
"Uh, that would have been because of moi." London suddenly spoke. "Hey weird girl, strange guy and little person."
"It's Mila." Mila said with an irritated look on her face.
"Milo, right."
"No! Mi-la!" she stressed. "God, it's like talking to a potato."
"Don't care." London said, then continued to text. "Uh, so are we ready?"
"Ready for what?" Trevor asked.
"Yeah London, Trevor, Mila and I were gonna go line up for the autograph signing."
"Psh, we can do something better." London scoffed.
"What could be better than getting Ashley's autograph?" Mila asked.
"Meeting Ashley?" she smirked. The sisters' eyes went wide.
"London got us exclusive access to go meet Ashley Tisdale." Maddie squealed. Corrie and Mila joined in the squealing as well. Trevor felt a bit deflated.
"So can we go now?" London asked, then started to walk away. The girls followed behind her squealing all the way.
Trevor slowly followed them, with a frown on his face. This wasn't how the day was supposed to go. London wasn't supposed to be here. This was supposed to be just him, Mila and Corrie. He was supposed to be the one to give the girls happiness by taking them to the show. He knew it was selfish of him, but he didn't like it when other people made his girls happy. He wanted to be the reason for bringing that spark in their eyes.
But as he glanced over at Corrie who was chatting excitedly with Mila, he couldn't help but smile. At least she's happy. He thought, feeling a bit better upon seeing her beaming face.
