It was a normal and regular day school for the Chipmunks and the Chipettes, but Simon had not been his regular self ever since he first woke up and felt strange. The others started to get worried about their sibling as they were just about to start their classes.
"Hey Simon, are you okay? You don't look too good" said Alvin.
"I-I'm okay Alvin" replied Simon in a shaky voice.
Alvin knew he wasn't buying it, but he had to keep it quietly and not make it any worse. As Simon was slowly making his way to class, the others were genuinely concerned.
"Guys, have you noticed something different about Simon?" asked Jeanette.
"Yeah Jen, he's not his happy at school go lucky self" said Brittany.
"I hope it's nothing too serious" said Eleanor.
All 5 Chipmunks then just looked at each other and went to same classroom Simon was. Then once the bell rang, everyone took their seats while Alvin was still looking over his shoulder and saw something was wrong and not right with Simon. Then as the lesson began, Simon was starting to starting to act weird and almost on the verge of going over the edge, this only Alvin worry even more, but he didn't want to make a scene during class and had to wait afterwards.
Then after the next bell rang, everyone was putting their stuff away in their lockers as they went for lunch break. Then Alvin finally had the chance to ask Simon what was wrong with him. He went to his brother and looked him in the eyes and asked him the question.
"Simon, you've not been yourself since this morning, is something wrong? he asked him.
"Nothing's wrong Alvin, please just don't keep on about it" Simon answered back almost in a angry tone.
"But Si, I want to help you. How am I suppose to know if you won't tell anyone?" Alvin said.
But then Simon shockingly then lost it and yelled right in his brother's face. "ALVIN FOR GOD'S SAKE, WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP AND DROP IT!" Simon yelled as he then stormed off and left Alvin shocked and speechless.
Once then at lunch period, Alvin was still in shock about what just happened moments ago with Simon, and were then sad and almost disappointed. The others then looked at their older sibling and saw Alvin was not in his cheerful prankful mood.
"Hey Alvin, did something happen?" Brittany asked his brother-in-law. Alvin turned and looked at Brittany and said nothing at the time.
"Alvin, please tell us. We'll try and help you" said Theodore.
Alvin then knew he had explain what happened in the hallway with Simon and started to speak.
"I tried to talk to Simon about what was wrong with him, but he then exploded and yelled right in my face and left me" said Alvin looking down. The others were then speechless, they knew Simon wasn't always like that.
Then they had a suspicion that something was definitely not right but they didn't want to make Alvin feel bad then he already was.
"Why do you think Simon would yell at Alvin like that?. He didn't do anything wrong and was only trying to help him" said Jeanette.
"I don't know Jen. But I think we should not get involved, otherwise it could be worse" said Brittany. Then Simon turned up and looked directly at Alvin looking mad and Alvin was then scared of what could happen next.
"Hey Simon" said Alvin nervously.
"Whatever" he replied back.
"Simon" said Brittany. "
Yeah what" he shot back.
"That's your brother you're talking too. What's come over you?" she asked protecting Alvin.
"What's come over me? What kind of a stupid question is that?" Simon then yelled.
Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanor gasped as they then could not believe what is happening in front of them. "
Who the heck do you think you are? What's with your attitude?" Brittany shot back.
"Oh shut up, this is not your business" Simon said angry. Then he turned his attention to Alvin and was on the verge of losing it.
"And you, what kind of brother are you asking what's wrong with me? How dare you try and tell me what to do!" Simon said getting right in Alvin's face. Brittany then knew what was about to happen and tried to get in the middle to separate them.
"Simon that's enough! You're scaring the others and Alvin" said Brittany.
"Get out the way" said Simon then shoving Brittany to the floor while the others then gasped, and then shockingly started to attack Alvin.
He punched Alvin right in the gut making him drop to his knees. Simon then grabbed Alvin and threw him into the table leg spine first. The others could not believe what is happening before their very eyes. Simon then picked up Alvin and hit him right in the face and blood then started to come out of his nose.
"Simon stop it! Their's no call for this!" yelled Brittany. But Simon did not listen at all and continued to assault his own flesh and blood. Simon then grabbed a almost helpless Alvin and carried him up to the table with bad intentions.
"Someone stop this!" said Jeanette.
"Simon, this is going too far. Put him down" said Brittany. But Simon then had Alvin up in the air while the others looked on.
"No, Simon don't do it!" yelled Theodore.
"Simon stop, this is taking it too far!" yelled Jeanette. But Simon would still not listen and threw Alvin right off the table to the floor.
"ALVIN NO!" yelled Brittany quickly rushing over to his body and knelt down next to him. Everyone else was watching this and was in disbelief and shock. The others were at Alvin's side and Brittany then looked up and stared right at Simon and was absolutely livid.
"Simon what have you done?!" she yelled.
"I need some help now!" said Jeanette holding Alvin's paw.
"Theodore, Eleanor, get the nurse now".
Theodore and Eleanor went to get the school nurse while Brittany was close to snapping. Alvin was not moving or responding while Brittany and Jeanette were still at his side. Then principle Smith arrived and saw one of his students on the floor bleeding and unconscious. Then he looked at Simon and knew he was responsible for this.
Brittany then had tears in her eyes and was in horror about what Simon just did. Jeanette then listened for Alvin's heartbeat and luckily their was one. She then tried to wake him up by gently shaking him but is was useless at that point. Theodore and Eleanor then arrived back with the nurse who quickly started to work on Alvin while Brittany had his paw in her's and cried. She knew their was a chance Alvin could be seriously injured thanks to Simon's actions.
The nurse then carried Alvin back to her office with the others following. Simon didn't care at that point but he couldn't see deep down what he did to his own brother. The principle then called Simon to his office and knew that would be consequences for his action's. While in the nurse's office, and she quickly examined Alvin and knew it wasn't good at that point.
Brittany was by his side the whole time ever since the incident took place. But then she saw Alvin thankfully starting to come round a bit.
"Nurse, he's starting to wake up" said Jeanette.
"Alvin, are you okay?" Brittany asked with concern.
"Do I look okay? My own brother just attacked me unprovoked and put me in here and almost injuring me" said Alvin looking angry. But he had to take it easy as Brittany was next to him grasping his paw.
"Alvin, I will stand by you no matter what, even after what Simon did to you" said Brittany.
"That's sweet of you Brit" said the nurse. Then Dave unexpectedly turned up and saw Alvin bandaged up near all over his body.
"Alvin, are you alright son?" he asked. Alvin then showed Dave his welts and bruises and knew he wasn't.
"You called Dave nurse?" asked Jeanette.
"She did Jeanette. And she informed me of what just happened and got here as quick as I could" Dave said. "I can't believe Simon would do something this horrible, even to his own brother".
"Excuse me guys, I have to go to the principle's office and deal with Simon. Be right back" Dave said and left.
"Nurse what happens now?" said Brittany.
"Well Alvin has sustained a near broken nose and slight damage to his back" the nurse explained.
"Does that I have to go home?" asked Alvin.
"Depends young Alvin, on how you feel at this moment" said the nurse.
"Well I'm still hurting all over. My nose still hurts and nearly everybody saw it. What did I do to deserve this?". Alvin began to go in tears and put his head down.
"It's alright Alvin. Luckily it wasn't too serious. We're all here for you" said Brittany giving Alvin a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you" replied Alvin as he started to cheer up a bit.
Meanwhile in the principle's office, Dave was angry with what Simon did to Alvin at lunch period.
"Simon, what on earth possessed you to do this? Care to explain yourself" said Lewis.
"Why should I explain to someone like you?" Simon said bitterly.
"Simon!" yelled Dave.
"You attacked your brother Alvin? When he was just trying to help you with the problem you're having" principle Lewis said.
"He was trying to get nosy in my business, so I had to made sure he never mentions it again" said Simon.
"That still doesn't justify what you did to Alvin though!" Dave yelled.
"Mr Seville, calm down. Simon why did you do it?" the principle asked Simon looking right in his eyes.
"Because I just didn't want anyone to make the problem worse" Simon answered.
"But what did Alvin do to you?" he then asked.
"He was getting all the attention and didn't think about me at all".
"Simon come on, you know that can't be true. And I think you should apologize to Alvin" principle Lewis said.
"I'm not listening to this" said Simon as he then stormed out.
"Simon, come back here!" Dave yelled but he was already gone.
Back in the nurse's office, Alvin then made the choice that he wanted to go home. The counselor gave Brittany credit for sticking by her brother-in-law and told her that she can go with him. Alvin and Brittany were having a talk as Dave was driving them home.
"Brit, you didn't have to come with me. You did enough already at the school" Alvin asked.
"Nonsense Alvin. You're my brother-in-law, and you know I'm never going to leave your side, through thick and thin. Besides, nothing new was going to be done anyway" Brittany responded.
Alvin then couldn't but smile at her knowing she would keep her promise. Later on it was 3:00pm and the bus dropped Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanor off and met Alvin and Brittany.
"Alvin, are you okay?" asked a worried Jeanette.
"I guess" Alvin replied.
And as they were then home, Alvin was then a bit wobbly on his feet while he was holding his nose but he was held by support from Brittany.
"Dave, I'm going to get Alvin to bed so he can rest" said Brittany.
"Okay Brittany, make sure you look after him okay?" said Dave.
"I will" she replied and she then helped Alvin upstairs and into their room. Then 30 minutes later, the door opened.
"Simon, I thought you'd still be at school" Dave's voice said.
"Yeah well I decided to finish my work and finish the school day" Simon's voice explained.
Alvin then heard Simon's voice and started to peak out outside and saw his brother. Alvin didn't want to get spotted and not take the risk of getting hurt again, so he went back into the room with Brittany until dinner.
It was then dinner time at 5:30pm, Jeanette went to get Alvin and Brittany from their room. She along with Brittany helped Alvin downstairs and at the table. Simon looked at Alvin, but Brittany glared back at him.
"Thanks Brit" said Alvin feeling safe with her.
"Not a problem Alvin" she replied back.
Then after dinner was done, everyone then went up to their room with Alvin slowly behind them. Once they were all present, Simon then felt he needed to make things right with his brother Alvin.
"A-Alvin?" Simon stammered. Alvin was then nervous but Brittany was there with him to make sure no more incidents happen.
"Y-yes Simon?" Alvin said almost a nervous wreck.
"I'm very sorry for what I did to you today. I know what I did went way too far, and I let my emotions get the better of me. I'll understand if you won't forgive me, but I really hate myself for my actions today" Simon begged for forgiveness from Alvin as he got on his knees. "Please Alvin, I don't hate you. I love you as my brother. Can you forgive me? And I promise whenever I'm having any problems or if I'm being bullied, I want you to help me. And if you are in any trouble, I want us to have others backs. Please bro".
Alvin was full of emotions after hearing that from Simon. Then he went down to his knees as well and looked at Simon who then looked back. Alvin then gave a smile and gave his brother a big hug.
"Of course I'll forgive you bro. And I'll tell the school you didn't mean it. You needed to let it out your system, and then you'll feel better instead of keeping it in. So yeah, you're forgiven Simon. And if you're being picked on, I'll protect you with my life" said Alvin still hugging Simon as he then began to cry.
"Hey shhh, it's okay bro. I'm here now" said Alvin. Brittany and the others were so happy that Simon patched things up with Alvin. "
Thank you Alvin. How can I make it up to you?" Simon asked. Alvin thought for a moment and came up with a idea.
"How about we play fight each other?" said Alvin.
Simon then smiled and he tackled Alvin to the floor. The others then laughed as Simon then helped him to his feet.
"Hey no fair, I wasn't ready" said Alvin.
"Too bad, no-one said anything about when to start, so why wait?" Simon said jokingly.
"Well that's true. Okay" said Alvin as he then did the same to Simon.
"Alvin" Simon said.
"Just returning the favor Si" Alvin replied. Then Dave then entered the room and saw Alvin and Simon playing with each other and was happy to see.
"I'm glad you two managed to patch things up" Dave said.
"Trust me Dave, it won't ever happen again. Promise" said Simon giving his word.
"Good to hear Simon. Alright guys, it's time for lights out" said Dave.
So Alvin helped Simon up and then they all tucked themselves into bed.
"Good night everyone" Dave said.
"Goodnight Dave" everyone said together.
Dave then turned out the main and went to bed. Moments after making up with Alvin, Simon was then starting to feel nervous about school tomorrow. Alvin turned his head to see Simon shaking and went over to comfort him for a little while.
"Hey Si, you're shaking. What's wrong?" Alvin said placing a paw on his shoulder.
"I'm worried that everyone is going to be talking about what happened" said Simon in a shaky voice.
"Simon, look at me". Simon looked at his eyes.
"I'll make sure no-one picks on you, and if anyone tries to hurt you, I'll protect you with my life. Just like you said you'll protect me. I promise" said Alvin. Simon then felt relived and gave Alvin another hug before going back to bed and they both drifted off to sleep.
So Alvin and Simon are brothers again, but what will happen at school tomorrow? And will Alvin stay true to his word if Simon gets in trouble? Find out in the next chapter soon.
