Another Mistake
Noah Jagers-Seville was very nervous. He had agreed to give a solo concert for an all boys Orphanage, but the problem was he had never gone solo. His step-brothers, the Chipmunks, or his best friends the Chipettes would back him up. That plus his crush on his closest friend Annabeth gave him chills. But he already agreed to the concert. And he could never let orphan boys down. He was an orphan once too. Besides, his brothers and his best friends would be there cheering him on. Really, he had nothing to worry about.
The Concert was set to be on Saturday, which was tomorrow. As Noah ate breakfast, his family and friends reassured him. "Don't worry, bro. You'll do great." Alvin said. "You are an amazing singer, Noah. Logic says there's no way you can fail." Simon said. "We'll be right there cheering you on. Just sing your heart out." Theodore said. Brittany put her hand on Noah's shoulder. "When I had my first solo concert, I was nervous too. But then I remembered that my sisters believed in me and that they were cheering me on. Your brothers will be there for you, Noah. So will my sisters and I. We know you can do it." She said. "Your parents would be cheering you on too, Noah. If they were here today, they'd be in the audience too. And I know right now, they're looking down from Heaven right at you." Jeanette said. "Just breathe, believe in yourself, and sing." Eleanor said. Annabeth gave Noah a hug. "Don't be nervous, Noah. We'll be there to cheer you on. Would you really doubt your family and friends?" She asked. Noah smiled. "No way." He said.
The next day, hours before the concert, the Seville/Miller Residence rang with Noah's harmonious tunes. He practiced all his favorite songs, only taking breaks to eat, drink, or use the facilities. 2 hours before the concert, Annabeth got a call from her friend Julie. "Hey, Jules, what's up?" Annabeth asked. "Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall. Maybe you could get something for Noah to congratulate him on his first solo concert. Speaking of which, when is it?" Julie asked. "In two hours. Think we can make it?" Annabeth asked. "Sure as sugar, Annabeth. So, you in?" Julie asked. "Defiantly." Annabeth said.
An hour an a half later, the rest of the crew got ready to go. "Hey, where's Annabeth?" Brittany asked as the Chipettes got ready in their room. "She went to the mall with Julie. She said she'll make it." Eleanor said. "Jeanette pulled out her cell phone. "I'm going to call her just to see where she is." She said. Annabeth didn't pick up. "Nothing. Hope she makes it. Noah would be crushed if she didn't." Jeanette said.
In the Chipmunks' room, a simliar conversation was underway. Noah had left earlier to get ready, so it was just Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. "Annabeth's cuttin' it kinda close, don't ya think?" Alvin asked. "Yeah. Hope she makes it." Simon said. "Noah would be heartbroken if his crush didn't show." Theodore said.
At the Orphanage, Noah peeked from behind the curtain. He saw his brothers, Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor. But no Annabeth. "But...she promised." He whispered. "And now, just for the Orphans of Saint Servelus of Rome's Home for Young Boys, Noah Jagers-Seville!" The announcer said. The curtains rose and Noah stepped out. "Hey, there, everyone. You know, I was an orphan myself once. But then I found a loving family. I hope each of you can find the same." Noah said, masking his pain. He sang all his favorite songs, which drove the Orphans crazy. They loved it! Afterwards, Noah signed autographs. Most of the young boys also asked for pictures. Noah was happy to oblige. Then, a young red headed boy stepped forward. "You know, you don't need to hide it, Mr. Jagers-Seville. You're bummed because you're crush didn't show up. I understand you may need some time to work it out, just don't push her aw way. You'll regret it." The boy said, walking way.
At the mall, Julie and Annabeth left the movie theatre. "Wow, that was a great movie. I bet Noah would love it. Well, thanks, Julie, but I gotta go. I still have Noah's concert." Annabeth said. Julie looked at her phone, then gasped. "What? What's wrong?" Annabeth asked. Julie showed Annabeth the time. It was too late. Noah's concert had been over for an hour. Annabeth sank to her knees. Noah was going to be sooooooo mad at her. She promised to be there. And she wasn't. That was going to put a serious dent in their friendship. And Annabeth was going to tell Noah how she really felt about him. Now all hopes of becoming his girlfriend were surely shot down.
When Annabeth got home, iher sisters were waiting for her. "Annabeth, I'm your sister, and I love you, but I can't deny that you really messed up. Even though he wouldn't show it, Noah was seriously hurt that you didn't show. When we got home, he just locked himself in the boy's room. He's not talking to anyone." Brittany said. "Oh, man, what have I done?" Annabeth said.
