Do you believe in love at first sight? - 2015
“Alright Trevor, we need to keep moving. Your song is blowing up and your fans are demanding a music video. We need to stay on top of this so what’s your decision?”
15-years-old. That’s exactly how old Trevor Bailey was while being pushed to make decisions, release albums, and do press conferences that he honestly didn’t feel ready for. If anyone said fame at a young age was a good thing - Trevor can tell them it was the opposite. For the past few months since the release of his hit single, he had been stuck in a whirlwind. His parents just wanted the best for him and trusted his judgment however… it was just difficult feeling like he was alone. Though he did appreciate his manager who often stood up for him… like right now.
“Roland let’s just take this one at a time. How about Trevor and I discuss and we’ll get back to you within the hour with the final proofs for the music video idea.”
As the studio head grumbled and walked away - there he was again, left alone with his manager and a book of hundreds of girls that he needed to look through to pick his love interest. It seemed almost… disgusting to do. Picking someone based solely on their looks but that’s exactly what this was - picking and choosing features that would look well with his because people wanted sex appeal in these videos even though he was only 15. What the hell was wrong with this industry?
Flipping through the pages, Trevor stopped at one page with a certain girl catching his eye. It wasn’t that she was prettier than the others… honestly, this entire book was filled with gorgeous girls, but there was something about her that was calling out to him. “What about… Jessica… Pierce?” Trevor asked, looking at her name under her photograph. He watched as his manager looked over his shoulder. “She’s cute. And it looks like she has a twin sister too. Maybe the concept for the music video can involve both of them?”
He watched as his manager walked over to her computer, typing something before a frustrated sigh left her lips. “Damn it. I don’t know why but it won’t let me book both of them at the same time.” “That’s fine I don’t… I think we’re fine with just… Jessica.”
“Alright, Jessica It is. Okay… well we got our love interest. Now let’s move on to the music video concept.”
A few weeks later - there he was, standing on the set of his first music video. It was 5 AM since they needed him at the very beginning of the day to get into make-up, and his stylest. Let’s just say… he was definitely half asleep.
“Guess I’m not the only one who doesn’t what to bloody be awake at 5 in the morning,”
That was the first thing Jessica Pierce ever said to him. His eyes were closed on a chair that said his name, though he wasn’t asleep. Despite being in the spotlight for a few months, this was all still… nerve-inducing. With his eyes opening, he met hers… and honestly, Trevor’s heart skipped a beat. “You must be Jessica?” “Nope. You’re completely off. I’m Dwane Johnson darling,” the girl responded with a smirk prevalent in her features. If he was asleep before, that disappeared with her words bringing a small laugh to his features. Any nerves he had disappeared as the two started talking. It was just so… easy. Over the last few months, Trevor had various conversations with celebrities, talk show hosts, and even business professionals but no conversation went as easy as the one in this room.
Even as the music video commenced, and he had to very awkwardly lip sing as he flirted with her, she made it easier. After messing up a few takes, it was her calming tone and ability to make him laugh that made him calm enough that they were able to move on to the next scene. So… well… Trevor got a crush on the girl he hired to play his love interest. Could anyone blame him? A stunning, down to earth, British babe was in his presence and all he could do was trip over his words and mess up during his own music video.
But… honestly, it was a pretty great time. He hadn’t felt… normal in a while and over the span of the day with Jessica was the most normal he had felt in months. Honestly, he missed this feeling. And… well… he almost never wanted it to end.
Reunited with an Old Friend - 2026
After 11 years in the lime light, Trevor had gotten used to the pressure of being famous. The constant tours, the fans, the hiding face in public so people wouldn’t recognize him but looking back over his time, he did miss that feeling he had all those years ago. It wasn’t often that people would treat him like a normal person anymore and, although he didn’t hate that, he also didn’t like it.
“Alright Trevor. We have you on Jimmy for your performance and then we need to fly you out New York for that concert before your tour in two weeks.”
“Yeah yeah, I know Tina. Don’t worry so much,” Trevor smiled, wrapping his arms around his manager as he walked closer to the set. There was stage crew running all around him working on different parts of the Jimmy Kimmel show. As he reached the edge of the stage, one particular one ran up to help set up his mic but it was in that process that someone caught his eye. There was a girl talking to Jimmy and it took Trev only a moment to recognize Jessica Pierce. Over the years the two had stayed friends - commenting on each other’s social media posts and seeing each other at an occasional party. However, it had been years since Trevor had actually seen her in person and… wow. She was… as gorgeous as ever. He had heard about her triumphs… going to North Korea… she was… well… crazy… but a crazy brilliant.
He was so distracted - watching Jessica smile as she responded to Jimmy’s questions - that he missed his cue to go on. A curse met his lips as he walked on stage, singing his newest song Good Enough. Though, even singing, he met her eyes, winking at the girl who seemed just as surprised to see him. An idea met his mind as he danced over towards her - on a part of a stage he wasn’t supposed to go to. Putting his hand out, he moved his eyes back towards where he was supposed to be - still singing. After a few seconds, she laughed joining him and dancing with him. Honestly it felt good - Jessica still had a way of easily… well… grabbing the attention of every individual towards her. There was an ease to her and it was intoxicating.
“You’re a bloody dork, you know that, Jackson?” the girl stated, pulling him in for a hug as the song ended and they went to a commercial break. “True… but how about you give this dork an update about what’s been going on in your crazy life Miss Pulitzer Winning Pierce,” Trevor retorted, after pulling away with a smirk on his lips. He missed her… honestly.
“Oh are you crazy? I don’t think I’ll be able to fight through the line of girls who want your attention, darling”
Maybe that was her way of shutting him down? But… well… if Trevor would ever have a chance with the girl he had a crush on since he was 15, this was it wasn’t it. “Oh shut up, Jess. You have 100% of my attention and honestly, I just want to know what’s been going on. Come on… I’ll pay? Free… street tac… McDonalds?”
A sweet laugh left her lips and after a second she sighed. “Well those are three words I can never say no to… I’ll pay and McDonalds”
And that was it… well… it was the start. The two of them did, indeed, go on that impromptu date. Or… well. Trevor would call it a date. To this day, Jessica says it was just them hanging out. But one hang out led to him inviting her to New York with him for his concert and her agreeing, which led to another hang out a few days later, and another one and then… he just came out and said it. That he wanted to date her… exclusively.
He did have to wean her down. After the first few times he asked, she told him she wasn’t ready and then one day… she finally finally said yes. And trust Trevor Jackson… he knew a good thing when he had it and he wasn’t willing to let it go. After all… who the hell would let Jessica Pierce go once she was their’s? Idiots.
