THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO 'WHAT HAPPENS OUT OF LOVE'
It was a cool spring day. The weather was warm and the sun was shining bright. And to celebrate this beautiful day, Brittany Miller decided to go treat herself to a bit of shopping. She went to her favorite mall, and shopped for her heart's desire. She spent a good 3 hours at the mall and she browsed through her favorite shops, and literally bought anything that caught her eye. Today was going perfectly so far, but you never know what can happen. Things can change.
Brittany walked out of a store, carrying at least 4 bags in each hand. She smiled. Whenever she spent money, it put her in a good mood. Of course, she wasn't gonna use everything she bought. Sometimes, she just bought things for the hell of it. But Brittany didn't care. Shopping was like drugs to her, but better. Brittany pulled out her light pink compact mirror and applied shimmery pink lip gloss on her lips. But the unexpected suddenly happened. The mirror's reflection suddenly caught something behind her. Brittany froze. Her heart stopped, and her fingers turned ice cold. She didn't blink when she saw the thing she saw in the mirror's reflection. It was a red clad of...something. It only took Brittany a second before realizing what it was...who it was. It nearly made her heart stop.
"Brittany?"
Brittany froze. That voice, it was so oddly familiar. She couldn't remember who the voice belonged to. But for some reason, it suddenly brought back so many memories. All different kinds of memories whether it were happy ones, or sad ones. She didn't know how it could of done that, but that voice was something she was used to hearing everyday. But she couldn't remember what. The voice had that hint of 'annoying' in it, but Brittany couldn't help but miss it for some reason. Her heart suddenly made her feel like that voice was something she desired - something she loved. It was a scary effect, but Brittany didn't want to believe it. It has been way too long since she last heard it.
But can it be true?
Brittany slowly turned around and faced the person who had called her name. When her eyes were focused on him, she felt like she was in a dream. No, not a dream where all your happy fantasies come true. But a dream where nothing seemed to be real. This couldn't be real - but the proof was standing right in front of her. She gasped silently when she saw him. He stood there, with his hands in his pockets. Brittany squinted. She wasn't sure if it was really him, but it was. It had to be.
He wasn't wearing his signature red sweater, with the giant letter 'A' on it. She was used to seeing that on him all the time, but this time, he wasn't wearing it. I guess it would be childish to be wearing a sweater you wore during your childhood, especially now since they were older. But Brittany felt attached to it, but she just let that thought go. The only thing that was running through her mind was that he was standing in front of her, with a huge grin spread across his face. For a second, she wasn't convinced that it was him, but it was. She knew him better than she knew herself. It had been so long since she last saw him, yet she still knew. He was wearing a red t-shirt, with a black jacket over top. He also had on dark blue faded jeans. He had dark shades over his eyes, but Brittany could still remember the color of his eyes. Perfect honey golden eyes. And he had a cocky grin spread across his face. It has been too long since she last saw him, but he still had that familiar look to him.
"A-Alvin?" Brittany stuttered. Her heart began to jump out of her chest. No words could describe how she was feeling right now. She wasn't sure if she was happy, or just plain confused to see him. "Alvin Seville, is that really you?" Brittany asked. Her voice was stuttering.
Alvin's smile grew bigger. "Brittany!" He exclaimed. He reached his arms out, and pulled Brittany into a comforting embrace. "I can't believe it's really you!"
Brittany couldn't believe it. It was him, it was really him. This was the first time seeing him in oh, about 5 or 6 years. Brittany awkwardly pushed him away. "Alvin! What are you doing here?"
Alvin's smile disappeared. "Oh, you're not excited to see me?"
Brittany bit her lip. 'Excited' wasn't exactly the right word. "Of course I am." She said. Brittany still couldn't get over the fact that he was standing in front of her.
Alvin raised an eyebrow. "You're such a liar..." He teased.
Brittany faked a small laugh. "It's just...why are you out here in public? Aren't you afraid that the paparazzi will see you, and stalk you?"
Alvin laughed. "Oh Brittany. You forgot, haven't you?"
Brittany's eyes narrowed. "Forgot what?"
"I love the attention, remember?" Alvin scoffed.
"Seriously Alvin..." Brittany said.
Alvin smiled. "Celebrities like me go out once in a while. Wow, 5 years has been way too long." He said, shaking his head.
Brittany sighed quietly. He was right about two things. One, he does love the attention, how could she forget. And two, 5 years has been long, way too long, she couldn't stand it.
Brittany nodded. "Yeah, I know. It's been way too long." She repeated, sadly.
She didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't keep it in. Brittany missed him, she missed him like crazy. She was his best friend, and he was her best friend. They grew up together through elementary school, and high school and they've traveled the world together, along with their siblings. They had many fights, but they always made up in the end. But Brittany didn't leave the one detail that stood out. All through their high school years, they were madly in love with each other. But after those years, they drifted apart. Brittany thought that she would never see him again.
Of course Brittany knew he was still famous. She had her moment of fame when they were in high school. They would travel the world, doing concerts and interviews. You know, what most young superstars loved to do. But after high school, they were forgotten. Their rein of super stardom had ended just a few short weeks after their high school graduation 5 years ago. But Alvin managed to keep his fame. He broke from his brothers a few months after, and went solo. And amazingly, he was just as successful. Brittany knew all this because she has seen him on TV many times, but she couldn't stand watching him on screen. The fact that he used to be hers just made her incredibly upset. And to see him like that, like he was a whole new person, just wasn't right. They thought they had lost each other forever.
Alvin cleared his throat. "Well, you're looking great. I can see that pink is still your favorite color."
Brittany laughed. "Thanks, you too. And red is still your favorite color, isn't it?"
Alvin nodded. "Of course." He said, rolling his eyes.
Brittany smiled. "Yeah..."
Alvin eyed the shopping bags in Brittany's hands. "You're still a shopaholic huh?"
Brittany rolled her eyes. "We may not have seen each other in 5 years, but that doesn't mean my passion for shopping has died down." She said, giggling.
Alvin shook his head and laughed. "Are you still in the music business?"
Brittany stopped smiling. What sort of question was that? He was in the music business, he should know! "No, not anymore."
Alvin raised an eyebrow. "What? When did you stop?"
"Ever since I graduated high school." She said. She hated the words 'high school'. It brought back so many memories she wanted to let go.
"Oh." Alvin said. He knew Brittany too well to know that she didn't like talking about it. He didn't know why, he just had a feeling.
"But, I know you still are. I heard that your new song has gone double platinum in a week. Very impressive." She said.
Alvin gave her a sly look. "Oh, it was easy. I'm Alvin Seville, I can do anything."
Brittany smiled, but raised her eyebrows. "You still use that phrase?"
"What phrase?" Asked Alvin.
"The 'I'm Alvin Seville, I can do anything' one". She mimicked him perfectly.
Alvin laughed. "Well, it's true!"
"Uh huh, sure." Brittany laughed awkwardly.
Alvin cleared his throat. "So, what are you doing here?" He asked.
Brittany shrugged. "I don't like wasting sunny days by lounging around at home, so I decided to go shopping. It's one of my favorite pastimes."
Alvin rolled his eyes. "Shopping is your only favorite pastime, Brittany."
Brittany smiled. It's been 5 years, yet Alvin still knew her too well. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"I'm always right." He smirked.
Brittany smiled. She missed that about him. That coolness about his personality, his laid back structure, the way he smiled whenever he looked at her, and the way he could make anyone laugh. They belonged to each other when they were growing up, but now, they just seem like they were just friends. Nothing else, just friends.
"Well, anyways, it's so good seeing you!" Alvin said, changing the subject and snapping Brittany out of her thoughts.
Brittany's eyes glistened. She knew Alvin was sincere when he said that. "It's so good seeing you too."
"So, what have you been up to for the past 5 years?" Asked Alvin.
Brittany hesitated. This was a very personal topic for her. Ever since she and Alvin left each other's lives in high school, her life was on a rough path. She hated to think about her life in the past because it was ruined. Memories scarred her forever. It had affected her life in a way that no girl should ever go through. But she didn't want to tell that to Alvin. She couldn't tell him anything. Not anymore. She couldn't change the past, so all the things that stuck to her just burned her in the flesh. "Nothing. W-what about you?"
Alvin shrugged. "Just the usual."
Brittany gave him a half hearted smile. "Music biz, huh?"
Alvin smiled and shrugged again. "Well, yeah."
"Wow, it's good to hear that you're still...singing and stuff." Brittany said, looking at the ground.
"It's been such a long time since we've sung together. When was the last time we had a concert together? Like, in high school or something?" Alvin asked curiously.
But even Alvin couldn't keep the memories away. Just with that little statement, Brittany could feel pain go through her heart. There were bad times in high school, and there were good times. Those good times were whenever Brittany and Alvin sang for school concerts, and even their own concerts. She missed the boy who sang his heart out with her on stage. It was hard to believe that the boy was standing right in front of her. But it's been 5 years. It all felt like a cloudy memory. Something that is meant to be forgotten.
"After all these years..." Alvin said quietly.
Brittany slowly nodded. "Yeah, I know. It feels like a lifetime." She said sadly.
Alvin didn't notice the sadness to Brittany's voice. "Hey, maybe we should get together some time, like hang out, so we could catch up on each other."
At first, Brittany didn't think it was a good idea, but she changed her mind after that. So many things were running through her mind. Her best friend, the boy who she grew up with, the boy she loved, was here with her, for the first time in years. But it would never be the same. They were just friends now. There wasn't any harm in two friends catching up, right? "Get together? Sure, that'd be great." She said, uneasily.
Alvin shrugged. "We haven't seen each other since we graduated high school, and well, I missed you."
Brittany felt her cheeks heat up. "Thanks, I uh, missed you too." She said, not wanting to admit how much she missed him.
Alvin looked at his watch. "Crap. Okay, let's make this quick. I have somewhere to go to in 10 minutes, so, you wanna come over to my place? Or should I go over to yours?" Asked Alvin.
"Um, how about you come over to my place." Suggested Brittany. The thought of her and Alvin being alone in a house together brought her back to more memories from their early childhood days. Brittany felt a lump in her throat. She wanted those things gone, out of her life. But one look at Alvin brought back so much, Brittany couldn't take it.
Alvin raised an eyebrow. "Uh, sure. Where do you live?"
"I live in Miss Miller's old house." She said.
Alvin laughed. "You still live there?"
Brittany rolled her eyes. He was the same old Alvin. "Whatever. Just be at my place at 4. You still remember where it is, right?"
Alvin scoffed. "Duh, of course I do." Alvin said, and reached his arms out to hug Brittany.
Brittany smirked, and turned on her heel. "Don't be late." She said, knowing that he probably would. She walked away, leaving Alvin with a grin on his face.
"Same ol' Brittany." He said.
That afternoon, at around 3 in the afternoon...
Brittany was combing her hair in her room, when she heard the doorbell ring. She looked at the clock. "What? It's only 3..."
She groaned and quickly did her hair. She left her bedroom and went to go answer the door, only to find Alvin standing there. It reminded her of their first date. How Alvin would meet Brittany at the door, leaning in and giving her a kiss. And she was still in the same house where it had all happened.
But no.
That belonged to the past. They would never be like that again. Never. Brittany inhaled deeply as she mentally screwed herself for letting such a heart wrenching memory come back to her like that, making her weak.
"Hey." He said, giving her that smile she had always loved.
Brittany raised her eyebrows. "Well, it's great to know that you still can't read time, Alvin." She joked as she stepped out of the way to let Alvin enter.
"Well, I didn't want to be late." He said.
"Yeah, but you're too early." Brittany answered back.
"I can go back and wait another hour, if that's what you want." Alvin said.
Brittany shook her head as giggles escaped her lips. "No, that's fine."
Alvin looked around the house. Everything still looked like they were in place. The TV, the couches, everything. Alvin sighed. "Wow, it's so good being back here. A lot of things happened in this house when we were kids." He said.
Brittany sighed, with discomfort. "Yeah, I know." She looked at him. "Um, wanna sit down?"
"Uh, sure." He said. He and Brittany took a seat at the dinner table.
"Do you want something to drink? Water? Coffee?" Brittany asked.
"Nah, it's alright. I'm fine." He said, as he crossed his arms over the table. But for some odd reason, Alvin thought the table looked familiar. "Is this...?"
Brittany nodded. "Yup, this is still the same table." She answered, as if she was reading his mind. It was amazing how Alvin still recognized all the furniture in this house. But during their childhood, this house was like a second home, so of course he knew.
Alvin laughed. He remembered drawing all over this table with markers when they were younger. They were about 10 or 11 at the time. Dave and Miss Miller told him to clean it up, which took forever.
"Wow. If I can still remember, um, we were playing with one of Jeanette and Simon's science experiments here, right?" Alvin asked.
Brittany nodded and giggled. "Yeah, and it spilled all over this table! Ugh, and the smell was just awful! Dave was not very pleased."
"And Jeanette and Simon just went crazy on us." Alvin said, shaking his head as he laughed. He cleared his throat to change the subject. "So, how are your sisters?"
Brittany sighed. "I haven't seen them in so long, so I don't know." She said sadly. It was true. She hadn't seen her sisters for a long time. She changed the subject. Talking about her sisters made her upset. "So what about you? How are Simon and Theodore?"
"They're fine, I guess. I haven't talked to them lately though." Alvin said blankly.
"So what have you been up to in life?" Brittany asked. She could tell that Alvin was just as uncomfortable as she was talking about their younger siblings.
Alvin laughed lightly. "After I graduated, it was automatic world wide touring." He said.
"Oh, wow. You must of been very busy."
He nodded. "What about you Britt?" Asked Alvin, using the nickname he always called her while they were going up.
Brittany hesitated. This was another topic she didn't like talking about. But she decided to tell him. He was the only person she could tell anything to when they were growing up. And she hoped that it would still be the same. She took a deep breath. "After I graduated, I went to college, of course." She hesitated again.
"Great! What were you taking?" Asked Alvin.
Brittany shook her head. "Nothing. I dropped out."
Alvin's eyes widened in surprise. "Why?"
Brittany shook her head. "Just something I didn't expect happened."
There was an awkward silence between them for a minute. Alvin stared at the floor. Brittany looked at him, he didn't change one bit. There was that handsome smile she use to gush over, that bad boy charm he still has, but that soft and gentle side to him.
Brittany decided to make small talk. "It's so good seeing you again Alvin. I mean, in person. I always see you on TV, and on magazines and stuff." She said quietly.
Alvin chuckled. "Yeah, you too. I mean, we haven't seen each other ever since we graduated high school! I'm surprised you still remember me."
Brittany didn't answer at that. Of course she still remembers him, they grew up together! Was he still that stupid? "Oh, I'm surprised too." She said without emotion.
Alvin smiled and sighed. He looked around the house. It was hard to believe that he was back in this place. This was like his second home. When the girls were still living here with Miss Miller, Alvin and his brothers would always come over here to hang out. Now, with just the two of them in here, it just wasn't the same. It didn't feel like the same house. "So, I'm guessing you live here alone?"
Brittany bit her lip. She couldn't tell him who she was living with. But she quickly made up a lie. "Uh, yeah. I do."
"So, um, how's Miss Miller?" Asked Alvin.
Brittany looked at him. She suddenly felt all weak again, but she managed to stay strong. She looked to the ground. "Um, she's gone, Alvin." She said sadly.
Alvin didn't say anything at first. Gone? But how? Miss Miller was like the mom he never had, and now, he just found out that she passed away. But so soon? Miss Miller was the nicest lady he'd ever met, and he was so thankful that she helped raised the girls when they were younger. But now she's gone. The last time he saw Miss Miller was before they graduated, but so many unexpected can happen in so little time. He didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. Alvin gulped. "Britt...I-I'm so sorry."
Brittany looked up at him and half smiled. "Thanks. I do miss her, but I know she's in a better place now." She bit her lip again. "Um, how's Dave?" She asked, referring to the man who was basically a father to her, the man who had raised them all when they were younger.
Alvin smiled. "He's doing great. I haven't talked to him in a long time though. A long, long time actually." He said, realizing it for the first time. "He's not living here anymore. He moved to New York a few years ago."
"Wow, you must miss him." Said Brittany.
Alvin nodded. "Of course I do. He's my dad."
But before Alvin or Brittany could say anything else, a little girl was heard coming from Brittany's room. Alvin's ears perked up when he heard the sound of the child. He raised his eyebrows at her.
Brittany's heart froze with nervousness. She felt Alvin's eyes piercing on her."Oh, sorry. I'll be right back." She signaled him to stay, as she rose from her seat and walked back to her room.
Alvin, curious as ever, followed her. He stood at the doorway when he saw Brittany cradling a small toddler in her arms. Brittany looked so motherly as she held the little girl in her arms, whispering things in her ear to calm her down. The little girl held Brittany as she quieted down. She stopped crying and Brittany hugged her, again, looking so motherly. Alvin felt his heart drop. So many emotions ran through him. He couldn't even find the right words to say.
So how was it so far? Like it?
And who is the little girl? Is she Brittany's daughter? If so, is she married? And if she is, who is her husband? And can Alvin handle the truth, and does he still have feelings for Brittany? I dunno, we'll find out in the next chapter! And let me tell you, the next chapter is PACKED FULL of drama, I guarantee you that!
But anyways, thanks for reading you guys! Review please! Thankyouu!
