Alright, in my last chapter it told you about the event that happened to them. Now, here is what they're going through now.
Alvin's POV
We were all sitting on the couch with the T.V. on the news while on mute. We were all just so worried about what happened at the church today. I mean, it only happened in the morning and now it's the afternoon. And seeing my best friend who I am secretly in love with cry and show a different side of her made me feel angry and upset at the whole thing. I never want to see her that way again. Why us? What did we ever do to deserve such a thing?
Brittany was lying her head on my chest with her arms wrapped around me while I had my arm around her head as she whimpered quietly in her sleep. This just caused me to be more angry and confused with the world.
"Hey, there's breaking news on T.V." Theodore announced.
Simon put the volume up as we turned our attention to the screen.
'This just in, the Los Angeles church had just been attacked by bombs and weapons at 11:15am today on Sunday. The news report states that over 34 people were found dead in their own blood in front of the church. News also states that The Chipmunks, The Chipettes, manager Dave Seville and the girls stepmother Miss Miller were also there when the attack took place. But they managed to escape in one peace. Police are now putting this case into action and will try to find the person or people behind this attack...'
Simon put it back on mute. We all just sat there in silence trying to process every piece of information given to us.
"Who do you think it is guys?" Eleanor asked us while still thinking about the whole thing.
"I don't know Ellie. But I'm sure it has something to do with us." Jeanette rubbed her back.
We all looked at her. "How so?" I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Well...we went through so much as kids. Remember? Ian, the Vorsteins, your uncle Harry, that squirrel that turned Alvin into a monster...it could be any one of them." Jeanette explained to us.
"I'm beginning to think Jeanette is right. We could all be in danger. And us not knowing about who was behind that attack today makes it the more harder to know who we're dealing with right now." Simon looked worried. More worried than before. We all were.
"Guys, I'm becoming scared right now." Theodore was on the couch with a scarred look on his face almost starting to cry.
Eleanor went up to Theodore and hugged him. "Don't worry Teddy. We're all going to get through this together. And we'll always be there for you. Including me." She smiled warmly at him while he smiled back.
I smiled knowingly that those two are in love with each other. And it's pretty obvious too. The way they cook together, talk together...they love each other. Just like how I feel about Brittany.
Just then, Dave arrived home and made his way to the living room where we all sat. He looked at us with a look of worry on his face.
"Hey fellas, girls. Did you see that news report?" He asked us pointing at the screen.
We all nodded. He sat down and buried his face in his hands. Then he looked up at us rubbing his hands.
"OK. This is what's going to happen. You aren't allowed to leave this house without me knowing. You won't go out after school. You'll come straight back here. I'll be the one driving you to school to make sure you arrive there safely. Is that clear?" He asked looking at them all.
We all nodded. "Yes Dave."
"Good. Now come on. It's getting late and the girls need to go home. So boys say goodbye to the girls and I'll be watching you as you cross the road to your house. Who knows what else could happen after that event." He urged us to say goodbye quickly.
Brittany got off me and stood up. I stood up next to her looking in her eyes. "You sure you're OK?" I looked at her worried.
She smiled a bit before nodding. "Yeah. I'm fine. Goodnight Alvin" She hugged me and I hugged her back. I didn't want to let her go. Or see her leave. I just wanted to have her near me all day so I know she's safe. But I had to let go eventually.
I smiled at her. "Goodnight Britt. Be safe OK?" She nodded at me smiling. "I will"
I turned to see my brothers saying their goodbyes and giving their counterpart crushes a hug. I smiled a bit. It's no secret either that Simon has feelings for Jeanette. And how Jeanette is so shy around him. I know she feels the same way.
They left our house after saying our last goodbye to each other. Dave went with them to take them home while we went upstairs to get ready for bed. Dave made it back and checked up on us.
"Now I know what happened to us today was terrifying. But try to at least get a good night sleep alright?" He asked us softly while we made our way into our beds.
We nodded. "Alright Dave. No promises but OK." I muttered as I lay down.
He sighed and turned off the lights closing our bedroom door.
I sighed remembering Jeanette's words. I closed my eyes. 'I wonder who it was...'
OK, I am putting up a pole that will give you the chance to decide who will be the criminal behind the attack. But for now, I'm working on building up the suspense. Review PLEASE :)
