Chapter Two:
When Dave and I returned to his home, neither of us saw the chipmunks. So, we assumed they had finally left. Dave invited me in and I followed him into his home. "I guess I better start cleaning up the mess those made in my kitchen." Dave sighed.
I smiled and pat his shoulder. " It's alright Dave, I'll help you. Together we can get it done in no time." I suggested and he smiled thankfully. "Thank you. This would've taken me hours otherwise and I have to work tomorrow." He replied and I nodded.
Together, we got started on the mess in the kitchen. Because we were working together, it only took us an hour to get it all done. And right as we were finishing up, that when we heard the singing. We simultaneously looked out the window and saw the source of the singing, the chipmunks. We both exchanged a look before walking to the window and opening it up.
"Uh, were we disturbing you guys?"Alvin asked, looking up at us with a raised eyebrow. Dave and I exchanged a look. "Y-you guys can sing too?" Dave asked.
"That's not singing, this is singing." Alvin scoffed before the boys lined up and began singing funky town like they'd been doing it their whole life. I listened in amazement, they were really good and I knew they would be big.
I mean, hello, they're talking chipmunks! Not something you see everyday, just saying. "This is amazing." Dave said, drawing my attention back towards them. " Here, everyone inside."
The three chipmunks jumped in, one by one, onto the trashcan. Simon, who was the last one to go, nearly missed the trashcan and began slipping. "Whoopsie."He gasped and Dave managed to catch him and straighten him up."Thanks."
"Alright, here's the deal. You guys sing our songs and you get to sleep here." Dave said, indicating between myself and him.
Alvin seemed to think about it for a minute. "No. Wait! Is breakfast included?"He asked and the three other chipmunks looked up hopefully. Dave thought about it for a minute before nodding. "What about TV privileges?"
"Okay, but not after seven." Dave agreed, but Alvin countered it saying eight. "Done. But don't tell your animal friends, because I don't wanna come home and find rabbits and skunks on my couch." He told them sternly.
"Filthy creatures, Dave. Don't associate them." Simon promised and Dave nodded. "Yeah, you two are our only friends." Theodore added.
Dave quickly began shaking his head. "No, no, no, no, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Let's just start with us being your songwriters." Dave explained and I nodded in agreement.
"And since Dave is a bit better at song writing than I, I'll be your manager. I better at handling that stuff anyways." I said teasingly. Dave shot me a mock glare and I stuck my tongue out at him. The chipmunks all exchanged a look.
"Um, let me ask you, have you ever written a song before?" Alvin asked and Dave answered with a proud yep. "And is that your stuff outside?"
"Yup." Dave answered before a clap of thunder sounded, reminding me and Dave that the stuff outside was getting soaked in the rain. "Oh no!" We exclaimed together before running out of the kitchen.
"Hurry back!"Alvin's voice rebounded behind us, but our only worry was getting our things inside before they soaked and were damaged beyond repair.
We worked together to pick up every last piece of equipment from the sidewalk. Even got down on our knees to find anything we might have missed. Then we sat it all in Dave's designated music room and wiped it all dry.
"Alright, go get the chipmunks so we can get started. I'll be right behind you. I'm gonna test everything out real fast and make sure it all still works." I told Dave and he nodded before running off back into the kitchen.
I went through and tested out all the machinery. It took only about five minutes to test it all and I was satisfied to learn it was all good. Then I turned around and went into the kitchen.
"Are you guys always like this?" I heard Dave say as I rounded the corner. Simon told him that they were just kids. "Well, where are your parents?" He asked. "When you're a chipmunk, your parents take care of you for a week. Then they take off." Simon answered with a small shrug. I left sorry for them. But I could relate to them because my parents abandoned me when I was little. I lived with my Aunt Sofia growing up.
"Our parents were hippies. hey left early to join a commune." Alvin spoke up and I really felt sorry for them then. "I am Robert the Robot." I heard and I looked at the ground to see Theodore getting chased by Dave's collectible toy robot. "Help! Crazy robot. Help! It's after me! It's after me." Theodore shouted as he tried to run away from it.
"Hey. Hey. Be careful with that." Dave scolded as he picked it up. Theodore apologized. "It's a collectible. I got it for Christmas last year."
"Christmas! We love Christmas."The three chipmunks squealed excitedly. I guess it made sense, they were kids after all. "Even though we've never actually celebrated it." Simon sighed before perking up. "But we want to."
"Yeah, you can never go wrong with Christmas." Dave nodded and I giggled. "Christmas is my favorite time of the year! My Aunt Sofia used to give me the best presents ever and we'd decorate the tree together..." I trailed off as I began to reminisce my child hood.
"Oh, maybe we can celebrate it with you guys." Theodore suggested with a hopeful smile. He was so cute! You could not deny his cuteness anything! "Yeah, maybe." Dave shrugged. "Look, I've had a long and weird day, so off to bed." Dave said and the chipmunks began to protest sadly.
"Come on. We start work tomorrow. I want you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed by 8." He ushered them into the living room while I went and got a blanket from the hallway closet. I handed it to Dave. "My tail isn't bushy till 9." Alvin was complaining when I walked into the room once more.
"Not my problem. Now go to sleep." Dave commanded and the three of them huddled onto the chair and snuggled under the blanket. "I'm gonna head out too, Dave. I'll see you tomorrow." I said. He nodded and I gave him a hug before heading towards the door. "Bye!" I called back.
"Bye!" Dave called back as I exited the door. I chuckled and made my way to my car. It was dark and pretty chilly outside, but it didn't bother me. In fact, I felt absolutely happy. I spent the entire day with Dave, which always made something amazing. I chuckled as I started up my car and left his home. I wish I could tell him how I felt. I was just afraid, you know? What if he didn't feel the same. I didn't want to lose my best friend. As much as I loved him, I'd rather have him as just a friend than nothing at all.
I continued to think about Dave and our complicated relationship as I drove to my house. It wasn't a long drive, and thank fully there was little traffic. So I got home pretty fast. I parked my car and got out, locking it behind me and walking to my house. It was incredibly dark and I briefly wished I had turned on the outside lights.
Of course, it didn't matter because the minute I got to my door, I got the biggest shock of my life. There was an eviction sign on the door. "Oh, no." I whispered in horror. Quickly, I unlocked the front door and ran inside.
My phone was in the living room, which is right where I went. I then dialed the number of my land lords. The phone ringed twice. "Hello?" The voice of my land lord, Shara Hanson, came through. I sighed in relief. Thank god she answered and not her husband Mike. He was an idiot.
"Hey, Shara. Listened, I got an eviction notice on my door when I came home. I was wondering, what is going on?" I asked her, hoping this was all a mistake.
"Jessica, is that you? Well, sorry kid, but you haven't paid rent in two months! Mike and I have lost patience with you and we need someone who will actually pay." Shara explained and I felt dread creeping up on me.
"B-but, Shara. You know how hard it is! I'm trying. And, Dave and I finally have a plan, we'll have money soon enough. Just, please give me a little longer." I practically begged.
Shara sighed. "I would, but we've already given you several chances. We want you out, and you have two days to do so or we're involving the police."
"Shara, please-" I started, but she had already hung up. I felt like crying as I looked around the place that had been my home for four years. "My goodness, what am I gonna do?" I whispered to myself.
I just stood there for five minutes, not moving a muscle. I felt like my whole world was caving in. What was I gonna do? Finally I got an idea, and I wondered why I hadn't thought of it before. So, I grabbed my phone once more and dialed Dave's number.
"Hello?" He answered after three rings. He sounded groggy, no doubt I had woken him up. "Dave, it's Jess." I sniffled. "I need you help." I heard shuffling from the other end of the phone and I knew he had sat him.
"Jess, what's wrong? Are you alright? Are you hurt?" He asked, concerned. I felt touched by his concern. "No, I'm not hurt, but I'm not okay either. Dave, I'm being evicted from my home. I have no where to go! I can't afford another home, but Aunt Sofia moved a crossed the country, I have nothing. What am I gonna do?" I cried into the phone.
"Calm down, Jess. Everything's gonna be okay. If you want to, you can come stay with me, I have an extra bed room. Everything will be fine." Dave promised calmly. "I don't want to be a burden, you already have the chipmunks living there." I replied though my tears were slowing down.
Dave always knew how to make me feel better. It was one of the things I love most about him. "No, no, no, you won't be a burden at all. If anything, you'll be a lot of help. I've never had to take care of kids before, let alone chipmunk kids. Help from you would be amazing." Dave assured me and I smiled.
"Alright. Thank you so much Dave. I really appreciate this. And I'll help pay for groceries and bills and what not. You're the best Dave." I told him, completely calm now.
"It's no problem at all, Jess. I'll need help paying for groceries anyway. Now I'll have to pay for three chipmunks and myself. I'll need all the help I can get." Dave joked and I laughed. "Alright. I'll help you, it's the least I can do. I'll be over at eight tomorrow for rehearsal. Thankfully tomorrow is my day off so I can begin packing." I promised him.
"Okay, sounds good. I have work starting at eleven tomorrow, so we can practice until then. After work I can come over and help you pack whatever you need help packing with." Dave said and I felt extremely thankful that he was my friend.
I didn't know what I would do with out him. "Sounds like a da- err, plan. Sounds like a plan." I blushed. Didn't mean to say that. "See you tomorrow. Good night." I finished, feeling and sounding a little flustered.
"Yeah." He chuckled nervously. He also sounded flustered. I felt a little hopeful, maybe he liked me too. "I'll see you tomorrow morning. Goodnight." I hung up the phone with a smile.
I honestly did not know what I would do with out Dave. He was like my rock, and with out him, I knew I would fall. That's why I was so grateful his friend ship. Even if I wished we were more than that. With a sigh, I pushed my self off from where I was leaning against the wall beside the phone and walked upstairs. It was time for me to get some sleep. I had a big day tomorrow and I wanted to be plenty rested for it.
