Brittany's Confusion

Ch 1

"Questions Arise"

Britney sat in her bed and stared out at the streets thinking about where she stood with Alvin. Her summer was so lonely not being able to see him because of his popularity with the band even though they were on tour together. When they were scheduled for parties he and his two brothers were on stage or off not giving them anytime together. At that point she wondered if he was cheating behind her back like one of her friends in school told her. Then memories of all the aggravation he put her through played in her mind thinking about moving on with someone else.

Jeanette saw her crying and ran to her sister holding her tight.

"Brittany pull yourself together. Why do you pay attention to those jealous girls in school? If Eleanor and I would've listened to their drama then we'd be single right now. We've known them for years and it kills them all, because they're fans and they aren't like that. Alvin made mistakes in his past and then he made up for them didn't he? He loves no other girl but you and we all know that. Next time someone tells you something like that ignore them and walk away."

In the meantime Alvin was at a signing with his brothers and some girl started to flirt with him. He signed her autograph and then when he finished she ran after him and said.

"Alvin I go to your school and have some bad news to tell you. It's about your so called girlfriend Brittany."

At that he just turned toward her and asked in an angry tone.

"What about Brittany? If you're going to start the same garbage you did before school ended, then I ain't got any time for it! I have too much on my mind right now for this drama! Simon handle this for me please; I need to get away and clear my mind. She's going to try and tell me she saw Brittany with another guy so I'll dump her and go with her instead. I'm tired of telling this obsessed fan there's no way I'll dump Brittany for her, but she just keeps it up."

He stormed off and slammed his car door. Theodore just sighed and said.

"Not again. Oh man is he going to be like this all summer? Simon should I follow him to see what his problem is or just let it go?"

Simon looked and shrugged.

"I have no idea anymore Teddy. Let me talk some sense in this trash talker's head. All she does is try so hard to break them up and I keep telling her it won't work. All I do know is that we need to make some time for the girls before they do break up. Especially after what she told Brittany during Christmas vacation. She told him if she hears another rumor about him with another girl it's over! I think that's what his problem is."

Simon looked at Teri and asked.

"What is your problem? My brother loves no one else but his girl and that's it. Why is it every time you see us perform you try to tell him that she's cheating on him? Advice to the wise knock it off or you will not be permitted in our concerts! I mean it this time. Now next time you see us live do us all a favor and stay away from Alvin! Goodbye Teri."

In the meantime Alvin sat by the shore and stared out at the waves crashing against the sand and wondered what Brittany was doing right now. An ex from his past came and sat next to him. She pulled on his hat and he grabbed it. Then he looked to his right and smiled.

"How you've been doing lately? I haven't seen you in years; what have you been up to?"

She smiled and said.

"Not much just thinking about you and me when we were younger. You're a huge rock star right now? I'm so proud of you and wish that I could be by your side since we used to be so close."

At that he gulped and said.

"Yea I know, but it's impossible. I have a policy about dating my fans, and besides I'm taken for almost 5 years. Besides right now I'm in no mood to talk to anyone I have a lot on my mind. I came to the beach to relax so I can clear my mind. Maybe another time but not today bye Chelsea."

She looked and said.

"I'll be right back Alvin. Oh before I go is there a way to hook me up with free tickets to the Chipettes concert tonight?"

He looked at her and said.

"You're a friend of Brittany's why not call her and ask her yourself? Sorry I'm not lucky enough to get them. Besides we don't really talk anymore after the rumors Teri passed around the school about her. Guess what she blamed me and we almost broke up. Nothing that Teri does will make me dump Brittany for her. Now if you'd excuse me I'm done talking."

He got up and walked away from Chelsea and sat underneath the pier. Then he put his CD player on and rested his head against the pier. A duet from their second year together played and he sighed. Hearing her voice in the track caused tears to fall to the sand. He looked to the side and saw Chelsea next to him again. He paused the CD and said.

"Chelsea I'm not in the mood to talk now leave me alone! It's a bad time for me."

He turned away from her and listened to the track on repeat. Then his cell rang and he looked at the caller id. He took the earphones off his ears and answered.

"Hey Simon thanks for dealing with Teri. I still can't forgive her for passing those awful rumors about Brittany before the school year ended. Her mouth almost caused us to break up. Was Dave upset at me because I just walked out and didn't say anything?"

Simon looked at Theodore and said.

"No he understood. Alvin you need to watch your back. Someone is scheming a plan to cause you two to break up or basically hate each other. If I knew who it was I'd tell you. Please just be very careful and don't be late tonight."

Puzzled he looked and scratched his head.

"Late for what; we're off tonight remember. Simon you've been studying too much. You need to chill out seriously."

At that Simon clenched his fist and tightened the grip on his cell phone.

"Alvin the girls are in town for their first headliner. Then after the concert we're all off for two weeks. How can you forget? Alvin besides the concert Brittany turns 16 today. How can you forget your girlfriend's birthday? That's too low even for you!"

He hit his head and said.

"Oh no I completely forgot. I'll be home is less than 20 minutes after I get Brittany something for her birthday anyway. Thanks for reminding me I owe you one."

He hung up his cell and slipped it in his pocket after he wiped the sand from his jeans from sitting in the sand. Then he picked up his cap and also brushed the sand from it before he placed it on his head. From the bush Teri watched as he headed toward his car. Then she yelled.

"Do something Chelsea before he goes to meet that dominating snob of a girlfriend. She doesn't deserve him and I do."

He heard voices and looked back. Then he shrugged and walked toward his car. He got to his car, and Chelsea pulled her ponytail out and leaned against his car staring at him. He looked and crossed his arms across his chest. Then he looked at his watch and said.

"Chelsea do you mind? I have somewhere to be in less than 2 hours. I told you I'm taken. What part of that do you not understand?"

She walked toward him seductively and he tried to move away. She grabbed his jacket collar and pushed him against the bushes and stroked his forehead gently. Then she used her two fingers and brushed them across his lips. He froze and struggled to get away from her, but just couldn't. He gazed into her eyes and then he gulped as her lips came closer to his. He freed his arm and blocked her lips from meeting his.

"No way am I kissing you now let go of me before you tick me off. I mean it Chelsea let me go! We're finished do you understand that! Stop trying to make a move on me I'm not a little boy anymore enough already!"

He pushed her away from him and shook his head. Then he spotted Teri and yelled.

"Nice try! I outsmarted you again. Give it up already will you! Now I'm tired of it and I mean it! I am with Brittany and will never dump her for you! Sorry but I got to dip! Peace!"

He drove off and Teri frowned.

"Ooh that Alvin! I'll make him mine this summer if I have to smear Brittany's name all over the place! I'll be his girl not that stuck up snob he calls his girl. Come on Chelsea we need better plans to break them up!"

Chelsea put her hair back up and followed behind her sister. Then she said.

"Exactly how are we going to pull it off? We tried everything and nothing worked. Alvin is just too smart for petty games. We should just give it up already. They're meant for one another and can definitely rock the house when they perform. Teri we're out of options here. Teri it's over. Unless we focus on causing Brittany to despise him since she's so gullible and listens to everyone when they tell her he's cheating on her with a prettier girl. Did I say that? Oh no I'm dead!"

Teri smiled slyly and said.

"No that's brilliant. It worked before maybe it will again. We just have to figure out how to pull it off! Oh let's get ready; that dominating cheerleader and her sisters take center stage thanks to Alvin's father and him of course."
