Chapter 4
Alvin paced up and down his living room floor while scratching the back of his neck, the amount of empty coffee mugs and empty cans of energy drinks indicate that he's been up all night.
He still wore he clothes he had on for the party except the shirt was half unbuttoned and he only had on one sneaker, the events of last night really shook him up. As he paced up and down he thought of ways to tell Brittany and just pray that she didn't lose it or put the stuff in her...body.
Alvin sighed deeply before walking into the bathroom to get a shower; he always got his best ideas when he was in the shower. As he showered the door bell went, Alvin's eyes widened as he heard the front door opening as well.
He quickly jumped out of the shower and grabbed a towel, he wrapped in around his waist before peeking his head out the bathroom door. Down the hall he saw Brittany walking around the living room while calling his name.
"I'll be there in a sec!" Alvin called while walking into his own room which was right next to the bathroom; he picked out some fresh jeans and a plain red top. He walked into the living room casually and watched as Brittany twiddled her thumbs.
"Hey, Britt" he said before sitting on the couch next to her, she smiled weakly at him.
"Hi, Alvin" Seeing her discomfort Alvin sat closer to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked with concern, tears began to cloud up her vision.
"I-I'm moving" Alvin's heart stopped for a second, his best friend and love was moving away from him. After seeing a few tears fall from Brittany's eyes Alvin pulled her into a hug and gave her a friendly squeeze.
"No, Britt. Don't cry!" Alvin said softly "I don't mind you moving, whatever you want to do I'm right behind you! Even if you do move we'll still stay in contact" As she lifted her head Alvin grabbed a tissue from the tissue box and handed it to her.
"You're a great friend, Alvin" she then looked down at her charm bracelet; she reached over and grabbed his house keys and matched her charm to his key ring. "You're my best friend" hearing her say that brought a smile to Alvin's face, but it also made him feel more guilty about what he had done.
After a little hug they waved goodbye to each other and Alvin slowly shut the door, he sat in the couch for a couple of seconds before suddenly getting an idea. He dashed about the living room looking for his shoes, once he found them he shoved them on and grabbed his house keys.
Alvin ran outside and locked the door; he literally jumped down all his stairs and bolted after Brittany. He spotted her disappearing behind a crowd and followed her.
"Brittany!" he yelled, she turned around and examined the crowd before smiling when she saw him racing towards her. When Alvin got to her he began to walk "I was wondering. Do you want to go to the restaurant to get our last meal together?" he asked, she smiled and nodded.
The two of them hardly spoke the whole way there, Alvin was just overwhelmed by the news and Brittany was getting all emotional because of it. The big news had caused Alvin to forget to ask Brittany about the sperm or tell her what had happened that night.
They sat at the table together and Alvin began to ask about the city she was moving to.
"So, where are you moving to?" Alvin asked her, Brittany looked up at him and sighed.
"Well, it's a little town just outside of New York. I thought it would be a lot nicer if my kid could grow up in a little small town instead of this big city!" Alvin nodded his head and then waiter brought the food over. They had a nice little meal and a little talk about anything except for the baby or the moving situation.
Alvin gave Brittany the biggest hug ever and she returned it, they then went their separate ways. Alvin ran all the way home, all the emotion was bursting out of him. When he got into his house he leaped onto the couch and stayed there for the rest of the day. After the long tiring day of trying to forget about the whole thing Alvin picked up his phone and dialled his boss's number. It rung three times before someone picked up.
"Hello?" Asked a male's voice on the other line.
"She's moving! I hijacked her pregnancy and now she's moving but she doesn't know the baby she's carrying is mine! What do I do?" There was a long pause on the other line; Alvin then added "Oh, it's Alvin".
"So let me get this straight, you got this girl pregnant and now she's moving away but she doesn't know it's your child as well?" Asked Alvin's boss, Alvin shook his head as if the boss could see him.
"No, She found a sperm donor and he put a tub of his...stuff in the bathroom. Now, somehow I got WAY too drunk and I ended up spilling it down the sink. I filled it with my own and she put it in her body and now she's moving and I can't tell her and I-I just don't know what to do!" Alvin basically shouted down the phone.
"Wow...too much information...but I see what you're getting at and this is what you're going to do!" said the boss calmly "You're going to tell her first thing tomorrow, just before she moves! You are going to get her to stay with you and raise the child with you so you can stay at work. If she's angry still don't let her leave cause you'll never see that child again, you have to be strong, Alvin!" Alvin sighed but nodded at the same time.
"Ok, I guess I'll need to tell her then...thanks, boss" he heard his boss chuckle down the phone.
"Call me Leonard...but not at work! Anyway I have to go, good luck tomorrow and get some sleep" With that they both hung up the phones. Alvin smiled a little before switching off the TV and then slowly walking to his bedroom and falling asleep.
The next day he got up bright and early, he had a shower and put on fresh clothes before walking up the street to tell Brittany the news. His palms were sweating and he was panting heavily, thoughts floated around his mind about how things may turn out and how things may turn out for the best or for the worse.
As he walked up the street a moving van passed him, it didn't really occur to him until he showed up at the house. The 'For Sale' sign blocked any view from the inside. He walked round the back and noticed that the old shed was empty, he looked in the back window and noticed the kitchen was completely bare. Nothing in the cupboards or anything.
That's when it hit him, he remembered the huge white van with the picture of a green house on it passing him in the street. He guessed it was a moving van, his eyes widened as he whispered "she's gone".
