I see nobody by your side
Chapter 2
"I'm just a freak…" The tall-ish chipmunk let out a shallow sigh and sat down at the edge of the stage and put his head inbetween his folded arms.
A paw gently made its way to his right shoulder giving him some comfort. As soon as Simon realized that he was not alone, his head shoot up with a slight look of panic in his eyes. But what Simon saw, he thought he must be dreaming. There he was – Alvin. He stood next to him with a caring smile on his cheeks.
"A-Alvin?" the question held obvious confusion.
"Simon are you okay? I heard you call yourself a freak. Why would you do that?" Alvin asked with genuine concern towards his brother.
Simon looked back down, his eyes starting to water as a few salty droplets fell on hi slap. Alvin simply stood there patiently his paw resting on Simons shoulder, letting him know that he wasnt leaving any time soon. When Simon realized what Alvin was doing, more tears started streaming down his fuzzy cheeks, leaving small moist traces.
Alvin saw that his brother desperately needed someone to comfort him, he saw that the wall that Simon built around him was slowly but surely crumbling away, letting all the repressed emotion out. Simons world was crashing down around him, he had noone he could depend on, he was alone in it all. He knew nobody would accept the truth about him… His breath came to a grinding halt as he felt a warm embrace coming from his back. He looked down only to see arms in red sleeves and paws on the end that were hugging him tightly.
Simon tensed up and wanted to scream right there. He was powerless… not a single sound made it out of his mouth, only a quiet sob and even that slowly quieted down when he heard his brothers comforting voice behind him.

[Alvin:]
With everything happening today
You don't know whether you're coming or going
But you think that you're on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it
Alvin turned Simons head gently towards him.
Look at me when I'm talking to you
You looking at me but I'm looking through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself I'm looking at the
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you are all alone
And you correct me when I'm looking wrong
I see the guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pane
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I'm looking at the...
Mirror on the wall, here we are again (Yeah)
Through my rise and fall (Uh-Huh)
You've been my only friend (my only friend)
You told me that they can understand the man I am (they can understand)
So why are we here (misunderstood) talkin' to each other again?
He took one paw from the embrace and used it to wipe his brothers wet cheek, smiling.
Looking at me now I can see my past
Damn I look just like my fucking dad
Light it up, that's smoke in mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
I see my momma smile that's a blessing
I see the change, I see the message
And no message could've been any clearer
So I'm startin' with the man in the...
[Simon:]
Mirror on the wall,
[Simon:]
MJ taught me that.
[Simon:]
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
[Alvin]
Take 'em to Mars man
[Simon:]
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we talkin' to each other again?
[Alvin:]
Uh...
Alvin reasurred his loving brother with a soft smile.
[Simon:]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again ([Alvin:] yeah)
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend ([Alvin:] Any questions?)
You told me that they can ([Alvin:] I come to you) understand the man I am ([Alvin:] You always have the answer)
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
[Simon:]
Mirror on the wall.
[Alvin:]
Ay, B.P.
Looks like I did take 'em to Mars this time.
[Alvin:]
So why are we talking to each other again?
Everything went quiet for a moment. Simon was thinking how to answer his brothers question. But before he could do that, Alvin leant closer and sealed his lips with a soft and warm kiss.
