He stood on the stage singing out to the crowd with the high voice that could be heard from china. Singing out to the girl of his dreams who he loved since he first met her last year. He was surrounded by boys and girls of all ages. He was singing with so much hope that she heard him from backstage. He was having flash backs of her smiling at her with the teeth that were so bright that it was like the sun. He was singing one song and just switched to another song without warning. His brothers backed up with confusion all over their faces. The 3 girls ran out of their rooms and ran to the side by the curtains. His dream girl was about to walk onto stage to help him off but before she could even move her legs, the tune changed to something that she remembered from the night before when they had the biggest fight ever. It was on the radio and she could just picture everything that happened and she started to cry alittle. The people were standing there waiting for something to happen. They were staring at him and they saw that he was the saddest kid in the world. They saw the pain that he was going through with his dream girl, but they didnt know that it was the girl who was half way on stage. He was looking down at the flood with some water coming out of his eyes and they say that he didn't cry. He was about to walk off stage when he stopped himself and told himself that he had to do it. He had to sing out his feelings to her and her only.

He walked to the piano and started to play the song about the times that he had with her. The other 5 kids that were standing backstage always thought that he had no feelings at all, thought that he was to macho. He then started to sing.

Shadows fill an empty heart

As love is fading

From all the things that we are

But are not saying

Can we see beyond the scars

And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky

And open up to

The ways you made me feel alive

The ways I loved you

For all the things that never died

To make it through the night

Love will find you

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that i was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby, before it's too late

What about now?

He could hardly finish the song because he looked over at her and she was just giving him the the eyes that he has loved for months and months.

The sun is breaking in your eyes

To start a new day

This broken heart can still survive

With a touch of your grace

Shadows fade into the light

I am by you side

Where love will find you

He knew that he couldn't survive without her. Hes been dieing without her. Seeing her not with him brought him to tears while singing the end of the song.

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that i was meant to be?

What if our love never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?

What about today?

What if you're making me all that i was meant to be?

What if our love had never went away?

What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

Baby, before it's too late

Baby, before it's too late

Baby, before it's too late

What about now?

He finished the song while the crowd stood with a dead silence with the stare of happiness. Some knew what was going on and some didn't know. He walked off stage when the crowd went crazy for the song. He walked away with a smile on his face hoping that his dream girl thought liked the song too. His brothers came up to tell him good job.

'Dude, that was amazing. Were you crying while singing?" Simon asked with a hope for an answer.

"Haha nooo." Alvin said smerking alittle

"Yes you were, You were crying. I saw some tears falling from your face when you looked at me, theodore and the girls."

"So what if I was crying during the song. It doesn't mean anything."

"Yes it does." Brittney came in with a smile. "It means that you were hurting alittle."

"I don't hurt. I have no feelings what so ever." Alvin said trying to walk away.

"Alec wait." Brittney grabbed him with force. "Whats wrong with you these days?"

"Nothing. Why?" Alvin whispered as everyone else went to the car.

"I don't know. Something just seems strange about you now."

"Well whatever it is, Im sure that it will change." Alvin spoke as he was walking away to the car.

"Yea, maybe."

-Later that night-

Simon and Jeanette were reading some books about space and planets. Theodore and Eleanor were in the kichen making some cake for they were going to watch "Inception". Alvin was being annoying and making noises and was running around the house. Brittney was sitting on the couch thinking about the song that Alvin sung at the concert. She had a strong feeling that he wasn't planning on singing it tonight but she just had to ask him about it so she jumped off and walked slowly over to the kichen where he was sitting. He was wearing his favorite red hoodie with writing on it.

"Alvin, can i talk to you for a minute?" Brittney asked with a nervous tone.

"Umm sure i guess i can talk for a few." He said jumping down

They walked down the long hallway to their rooms. Alvin and Brittney sat on theodores bed since it was a bunck bed and they didn't want to climb. Brittney started to talk.

"So that song tonight... It was a nice song Alvin."

"Really you liked?" Alvin asked with confusion

"Yea i did. I thought that it was really sweet. Can i ask you something?"

"Sure Brittney."

"Who was the song about?" Brittney wanted the truth

"Well it was about a girl."

"A girl?"Confusion was on her face "Is she pretty?"

"Ohhh yea she is."

"Do I know her?"

"Her name is...(Thunder sounded from the outside)

Brittney jumped into Alvins lap. He asked her whats wrong and she said that shes afraid of storms. Alvin looked out the window and saw that the leaves were blowing off the trees and were flying around like snow on a winters night. He turned around to ask britt something but found nothing on the bed but prints of where they were just sitting.

"Brittney where are you?"

"Im in the closet hiding from the storm."

"You cant hide from a strom britt."

"Sure I can Alvin. Im doing it right now." Another sound of thunder came from outside and glass shattered from the kichen.

The two ran back down the hallway and saw that Simon, Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanore were on the floor helping each other up. There was glass and cake everywhere on the floor. Alec was shocked for what he saw.

"What happened here guys?" Alvin demanded. "Dave is going to be so mad!"

"Why do you care Alec, aren't you the one who always gets into trouble?"

"Brittney please, it is true that im the one who gets into the most trouble but that pan that shattered and is now all over the floor was his favorite pan. Now what happened?" Said Alvin

"Well me and elle were making cake for our movie and when it was done, we need help getting it out of the oven so we asked for Simon and Jeanette to help and when the thunder when off, it scared us and we well we kinda dropped it." Theodore explained while he was eating the cake without trying to eat the glass.

"Ty stop eating and you guys need to clean up this mess before Dave gets home. Alec was not joking this time.

Too late. The 6 kids heard a car arrive in the driveway. Alec told them to go back into the rooms.

"Guys go back to the rooms, ill take the blame."

"No Alec you are not going to take the blame for what they did, you just cant." Brittney explained with care.

"Brittney, just go ok."

"Ok"

The door opens as Dave enters with 4-5 bags of food. He walks into the kichen and hears a crunch noise.

"."

"Sup Dave. What do you want?"

"Did you break my favorite glass pan?"

"How do you know that it was your favorite glass pan?"

"Its my only glass pan in this whole house Alvin."

"Fine you caught me Dave. Good job"

"Im not done here mister. You're grounded for 1 weeks. You will be doing extra chores around here."

"Please tell me youre kidding Dave, I didn't mean to break it. I was making a cake and when i was getting it out of the oven, the thunder scared me." Alvin just smiled

"Making a cake you say. Who else was helping you. You're not aloud to use the oven without someone else. Who helped you Alvin?"

Alvin stood there for what felt like 10 minutes without answering Dave. Dave just looked at him. Alvin looked around and saw that Brittney, Simon, Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanor were standing my the bedroom door. They wanted to come out and tell dave the truth but none of them had the guts to go and tell. Brittney could tell that Alvin was just crying on the inside.

"Well Alvin who helped you?" Yelled Dave

"Nobody helped me Dave. Nobody ok. I knew that it was a bad idea to use the oven alone but i was just in the mood for cake. I know that i could've burned myself since im only a chipmunk and all but come on, you need to trust me Dave."

"So far Alvin i cant trust you with anything. Now go to your room."

"Yes sir." Alvin said sadly walking away.

Dave was up til about 10 cleaning up the mess that Theodore and them made. Alvin walked into the room and he heard nothing until Brittney started to talk to Alvin. Alvin on the other hand was already in bad without making a sound.

"Alvin, are you ok?"

"Alvin, can i just thank you for taking the blame for us." Eleanore said with a little smile.

"Eleanore stop." Jeanette finally spoke up. "Alvin even with your face in the pillow, we all know that you were only trying to help."

Everyone then went to bed except for Brittney who still wanted to talk to Alvin about the song from the concert.

"Alvin...alvin...alvin." brittney whispered so no one else heard her. "Wake up Alvin."

"Brittney please tomorrow, im not in the mood."

"All i want to know now is who is the girl that the song was about?"

Alvin was fast asleep before he could even hear the end of her question.

"Ok tomorrow Alvin. Night,"
