"Y\N, wanna be partners!" Trevor, my best friend of many years yelled from across the English room. Not more than three seconds ago, our English teacher Mrs.Young announced that we would have to team up with one other person in the room and create a stupid short story about Cinderella.
Me and Trevor always work together on this type of stuff. We've been friends for our whole life, with our mothers having gone to university together and getting pregnant and having me and Trev on the exact same day.
Our moms were always close and we've always had combined birthday parties and done cute stuff together. They trusted us a lot and even let us have sleepover all the time, we mostly just see who can stay up the longest and watch Mean Girls until we can basically reenact it.
People always joked that me and him were going to end up together. They said that we'd make a cute couple and and we were practically one person. It was true. The only thing separating us from actually being identical was his beautiful voice. Trev could sing like an angel and used that from a young age as a way to calm me down. It was our thing. I'd lay in bed, when I was sick or stressed out and he'd cuddle into me and sing soft lyrics into my ear.
No one knew about this, or knew that some of my favorite memories are of him singing to me. In all honestly, I was truly in love with him. But, he would never go for a girl like me. I mean, we were like brother and sister.
"Sure" I said calmly as he strode across the classroom to sit in the desk next to mine.
"Wanna sleep over tonight so we can work on it" He asked, his bright brown eyes darting into mine.
"Wanna just go to my place instead, the rents are out for the weekend so we don't have to worry about anyone bothering us" I asked him. My parents were always away on trips and I had no siblings. Trevor's mom raised me a lot until I could take care of myself. I think that helped make me and Trevor a lot closer.
"Sure i'll call my mom after school and tell her i'm heading over to your place" He said, with the bell ringing right after, signalling the end of the day.

"Here we are" I said pulling a crap ton of food out my kitchen. Placing it all down in front of Trevor we began to work on our project. I could feel the stress building up more and more as I soon realized I was in over my head with this project.
"Uuggh!" I grunted throwing it over to the side.
"Babe, what's wrong" Trevor asked, looking concerned.
"I don't understand any of it, and I feel stupid because everyone around me understands and I don't and it just doesn't make any sense and- and- and" I broke down and started crying. I've always had major panic attacks and Trevor was pretty used to them by now.
"Shh" He whispered into my ear, picking me up in a fluid movement. He cradled me close to his body and into my room, lightly kicking the door. I was still sobbing when he put me down on my bed and turned off the light. He then crawled back into the bed with me and held me in his arms.
"You're not stupid baby, you're one of the smartest girls I know. And- and I love you" I look up into his eyes, my sobs stopping. He looked into my eyes and then pulled me closer to his chest.
"I love you too Trevy." I mumbled into his chest. I could hear his start singing one of my favorite songs soft enough for only me to hear.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be alright, no one can hurt you know. Come morning light, you and I will be safe and sound" He sang into my ear.
I must have fallen asleep because when I woke, it was morning and Trevor was still hold me close to his chest. I snuggled back down into him and diffed back into sleep.
I love him.
