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.
A/N: so this is the last chapter. Which I would like to dedicate to Anne, because she actually helped me out with this by telling me what she wants to read, which was a lot of Ashley Tisdale. Oh, and also to everyone at the Corrie thread at FF…because they're the reason why I actually wrote this in the first place.
By the way, I'm not particularly happy with this ending. But here you go.
"Baby I can see
us movin' like that,
Baby I can see us touchin' like that
Baby
I can see us kissin' like that,
We don't need no more then he
said, she said"
Mila and Corrie continued to sing in the car as Trevor drove them home quietly. They had stayed longer than expected. Ashley had spent about two hours of autograph signing, and during that time, the gang had stayed in Ashley's tour bus, much to the excitement of the girls. Apparently, Ashley and London are close friends, which gave them special privileges. And if that wasn't enough, they got to hang out with Ashley and her family and friends for a while, greeting and taking pictures. All the while, Trevor just hung back, talking to the back up dancers and bodyguards once in a while.
Ever since they had left, Mila and Corrie have been on a high. Bouncing, laughing, squealing, all three at once. It made Trevor happy to see them so happy and excited, and yet at the same time sad. Sad that he wasn't the one making them happy. He wasn't the one that put a smile on their faces.
Now that Trevor had thought about it, ever since meeting Corrie, and her little sister, subconsciously, he had made it his job to always put a smile on the sisters' faces. To always make them happy. Nothing made him feel more content and rewarded than to see their eyes light up. Which is why he'd do practically anything they ask him to do. But now, the fact that he wasn't the one who made them happy saddened him. It made him disappointed in himself in a way that he wasn't able to fulfill their wishes, to make them happy.
Now it was nearing 6 in the evening and Trevor drove his car towards the Sanchez home. He had not spoken a word since London and the girls had showed up. Not that Corrie and Mila had noticed, they were too busy squealing over Ashley Tisdale. He finally parked his car in front of the Sanchez house. When Corrie was about to unbuckle her seatbelt, she noticed the silence and small frown that formed Trevor. Her brows knitted, wondering what on earth is the matter with her best friend. She heard the faint clicking sound coming from the back, indicating her sister was all ready to leave.
"Uh, Mila, can you give Trevor and I a second alone please?" she said to her little sister.
"Why?"
"Just go. I'll see you inside."
Mila raised a brow at her older sister. But let it go. She leaned in forward and encircled her arms around Trevor. "Thank you soooo much!" she said, squeezing Trevor to his seat. This caused Trevor to chuckle. Then Mila planted a soft kiss on his cheeks. "This has definitely been the best birthday present anyone's ever given me."
"Anything for you munchkin." he said, placing a kiss on her forehead.
Corrie watched on with a soft smile. It was moments like these that made her heart swell. She didn't have much friends that get along with her sister. Specially the guys, not that she was hanging out with the opposite sex often. Mila's not really a people person. She's more reserved and guarded. And she always has a fear that if Corrie gets too attached to anybody else, then she'll forget all about her, which is why she never gets herself to be comfortable around Corrie's friends, and most of the time, scaring them off. The only ones that she's ever gotten along with are Maddie and Mary-Margaret, London's a work in a progress, but Corrie still has hopes.
And then came Trevor. Sure at first Mila was wary around him. But after Trevor had bought Mila that ice cream cone at the park, all was good with the two. And Mila warmed up to him faster than she had warmed up to any of Corrie's friends. Corrie was grateful for that, since she didn't like the idea of not having Mr. Daniels as her friend. And now, here she sat, watching the two most important people in her life.
Mila finally let go of Trevor and got out of the car. Once Mila was inside the house, Corrie turned and looked back at Trevor. The car was filled with silence. Trevor not once glanced at her direction, or questioned why she wanted to stay. He continued to place his grip on the steering wheel and looking straight ahead.
"So…" Corrie started. "Are you gonna tell me what's going on?"
Trevor exhaled deeply, not looking at her still. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Trevor come on. Something's wrong. I'm your best friend remember?"
Best friend. He thought bitterly. "Nothing's wrong." he said grimly. "Everything's perfect."
"Trev…?" her voice trailed off, shocked to hear his tone.
"What do you want me to say Corrie?" he snapped, looking at her, anger boiling in his eyes that it scared Corrie, making her back away from him a little. "Everything is great. The show was great. You guys liked it. You all got to meet Ashley Tisdale. Mila's happy. Everything FINE!" he said the last part sharply.
Corrie's eyes went huge at his blowup. Never had she seen Trevor so angry before. The only time she's ever seen his eyes turn so red with fiery before was when he saw that Billy kid making fun of Mila at the park. But as scared as Corrie is at this Trevor, she calmed herself down, making sure not to tear up.
"What is wrong with you?" she said, her voice so low that it was barely audible.
Trevor inhaled deeply, then taking a glance at Corrie, her eyes filled with fear and he mentally cursed himself. He closed his eyes tightly, rubbing his face with his palm. "I'm sorry." he whispered. He then looked at her, his eyes apologetic. "I didn't…I never meant to…I'm sorry." he stammered.
"Trevor it's ok." she said softly, leaning in closer to him, knowing now that Trevor wasn't in his raged stage. "I just want to know what's going on with you. What happened? Why are you so mad?"
He shook his head. "I can't tell you." he said in a low tone.
"Of course you can. You tell me everything."
"No I don't want to tell you." he said sheepishly. "You'd think I'm selfish."
"Come on Trev. I'd never think that."
He sighed deeply. "Fine. I didn't like the fact that London and the girls were there." he hung his head in shame.
"What? Why?"
"Because!" he snapped slightly, looking at her, with a small sense of hurt in his eyes. "Today was supposed to be our day! Just the three of us. And I was supposed to be the reason why you and Mila are so happy, specially seeing Ashley Tisdale live. And then London has to show up, and invite you guys to hang out with Ashley herself and you guys were even more happier than when I gave you the tickets. And I didn't like fact that I wasn't the one that made you guys happy."
He breathed deeply, stopping his rant. "There. I've said it. Now you can you hate." he hung his head low.
Corrie only smiled softly at him. "I don't hate you." she said, making him look up at her warily. "I mean, yeah, you're right. You do sound selfish. And a bit of a jerk. But in a way…I think it's sweet." she chuckled. "But why? Why do you care so much?"
"Because…" he mumbled. He glanced up and saw that Corrie was waiting for his reply. "Because I love you alright! I've fallen in love with you. I love the fact that you're always happy, even for the tiniest things. And I love it even more if I'm the reason why you're happy. I love it when you're playing video games, or when you're trying to solve a math problem and you bite the end of your pencil whenever you concentrate. I love that you care about Mila a lot and that she's your whole world. I love everything about you Corrie. And now I'm sitting here like a fool, rambling about my undying love for you and you're probably thinking what a weirdo I am. And you're gonna want to end-"
He was immediately cut off from finishing that sentence, or even starting any other sentence by a sweet kiss from Corrie. Trevor was taken aback at first, not believing that Corrie had actually kissed him. Albeit to shut him up, but that didn't matter. He immediately relaxed, his eyes closing, and pulling her in as much as he can to deepened the kiss.
A few moments later, their lips finally parted, their foreheads leaning against each other. Both wearing a soft smile on their face. Both were silent, it was a comfortable one. Not needing to say anything else. "By the way I love you too." she whispered, finally, making him grin widely. Then he closed their gap and kissed her again.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" London said into her microphone, the spotlight shining on her. The crowds murmurs died down, and their focus was on the heiress on the platform. "Thank you. Now, the Tipton Hotel welcomes you to the first ever, London Tipton Fashion Show. Yay me!" she clapped giddily. The crowd looked at her bewildered. "Thank you. Hold the appluase. And now, let's kick off this party with our guest performer, Ashley Tisdale!"
Everyone cheered wildly as the room became dark. All of a sudden, the music started to blare and the spotlights danced, finally landing on Ashley Tisdale who appeared on the stage.
"I'm a
straight up kind of girl I am
I'm a telling it like it is I
am
And that's just the kind of girl I am
Head up, hands up,
tell me…."
She continued until halfway through the song. She stopped at the top of the runway platform, the background music of Headstrong still playing. "Ladies and Gentlemen, let's kick this off with the London Tipton spring wear." the spotlight then went to the other end of the stage where the models started walking out. The first two models were the professionals London had hired from modeling agencies. Then came out Maddie, then Mary Margaret and then Corrie.
Mila grinned from ear to ear upon seeing her older sister bounce on to the stage. Even though the fact that this event was for London Tipton, she was just happy that her sister got to participate in it. She stood by the door at the side along with Trevor. They were just backstage, giving Corrie moral support, and the two of them are now watching her. Cheering her on. She was even more excited when she saw Ashley Tisdale perform, again. It amazes her that London actually got her booked for the fashion show. It amazed her even more that Ashley actually agreed.
Trevor couldn't help but watch Corrie in adoration as she skipped on the runway. He knew with all the excitement, she'd forget that this was a fashion show where she's supposed to strut elegantly. But he didn't care. He thought it was cute, she looked like a little girl skipping towards her favorite candy store. One of the many reasons he loves her. He loved it even more when she did a little curtsey at the end of the runway, and he specially loved it when she snuck in a wink and blew a kiss at him before she disappeared behind the curtains. He couldn't help the goofy smile that formed on his lips when she did so, specially when Mila nudged him teasingly.
It had been three weeks since they had kissed, and officially gotten together. They opted to keep it to themselves at first, the only ones who knew were Mila, who couldn't stop squealing, and their parents. They were successful on keeping it a secret from their friends. It wasn't until they had a group hangout with the rest of the girls, and Trevor couldn't keep his hands, and lips, off of Corrie, which led Maddie to squeal in the middle of the movie and yell out "I knew it!"
Though in his defense, he didn't think they'd notice since they were in a very dark movie theater. Plus, Corrie provoked him to by clinging on to him, albeit they were watching a horror movie, but she should have known the feelings that she causes him. Well, that's his argument at least.
He continued to watch, slightly bored since Corrie wasn't on stage anymore, when a pair of hands suddenly grabbed him.
Mila clapped politely at the models that bounded on stage. She then glanced to her side to see how Trevor's doing, but saw that he was nowhere to be found. "Trevor?"
-
"Beautiful ladies!" Ashley said, after the girls were finished. The background music still played on. "And now, it's time for our men's lineup." The music started to get louder as the spotlight now went to the guy models heading out on to the platform.
"Hey." Corrie said to Mila, who was still standing by the sidelines. "How do you like the show so far?"
"Amazing. You were great sis!" she gushed.
"No not really." she said nervously. "I looked like a fool. I forgot to do that strut thingy London taught us."
"Who cares about the strut? What matters is you're having fun! In fact, I think everyone loved your little curtsey there. And I'm pretty sure Trevor like that kiss you gave him." she nudged her teasingly.
Corrie blushed at the mention. Then she glanced around. "Speaking of, where is he?"
"I don't know." Mila shrugged. "He disappeared a while ago. I figured he went to look for you."
"Well I never saw him. Weird, wonder where he - Oh my god." her eyes bulged out once they landed on stage.
"What?" Mila turned to the stage at the bulged out as well. "Oh my god."
On stage stood a pretty nervous Trevor, wearing a maroon t-shirt with a picture of a grinning London on the front. He then started to walk down the runway, trying not to flinch at the blinding flashes from the cameras. He let out a struggled smile, then gave out a nod to the audience before turning back.
Corrie stared at Trevor wide eyed, while Mila was laughing in hysterics. Once Trevor was behind the curtain, she looked over on the other side of the stage where she saw Mary Margaret and Maddie laughing as well. She then glanced down at her sister, still in shock.
"Was that my boyfriend just now?"
"I believe so." Mila said through her giggle fit.
"Headstrong,
crazy days
When your mind's made up and the music
plays
Headstrong, can you feel the beat
Melt down, can you feel
the heat
Melt down, it's not a crush
In a hot hot room we're
in a rush
Headstrong, can you feel the beat
Melt down, can you
feel the heat"
Ashley continued to sing as London walked out on the runway, a bouquet of flowers in hand, with a tiara on her head, waving her best Beauty Pageant wave. While walking behind her were Mary Margret and Maddie with their arms linked together. And behind them are Corrie and Trevor, their arms around each other.
When they stopped at the end of the runway, Corrie then glanced up at Trevor curiously. "How did you become one of London's models?" she asked, with a hint of amusement in her voice.
Trevor looked down at her with a soft smile. "You don't want to know." and with that, he pulled her in closer, bringing his lips on hers for a sweet kiss.
