Ch. 4

"The Ultimate Test pt. 2"

Back at the Seville house Jeanette sat on the couch and ignored Simon as he bought the popcorn to the living room and handed her some lemonade. She took it , but still didn't say a word to him. Then he sat down next to her and looked shaking his head.

"Jean are you okay? Talk to me will you? Please don't tell me you're still mad at me about earlier. I'm just too young to be a father and you are too young to be a mother. Jean please try to understand"

Jeanette just looked and stayed silent all night not even looking at Simon at all. When the movie ended she went up to the spare room without even kissing him goodnight. He entered the kitchen and did the dishes, and then he went to his room and lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling. He looked at his cell and called Alvin. When he didn't answer he just hung up and fell asleep.

In the spare room Jeanette also lay awake looking up at the ceiling. She tried to call Brittany and got no answer. She also hung up and fell asleep.

The next morning Brittany woke up and got out of the bed quietly not to disturb Alvin who was fast asleep in her bed. She looked around the room thinking it was a dream. Then she entered her bathroom and took a shower. When she finished her shower she headed downstairs and watched the Squeakquel as Alvin slept still. She sighed and entered the kitchen to get some cereal and some orange juice. She watched and ate her cereal in silence.

Alvin woke up and looked to the side and didn't see Brittany. He entered the bathroom and also took a shower. When he came out of his shower he heard the TV on and entered the living room. She watched in silence looking and shook her head. He headed downstairs and grabbed her from behind.

"Hey babe how did you sleep? I slept well."

She smiled and put her spoon down and turned around toward him.

"I slept well except a dream I had last night. I dreamt about us in a state I never knew was possible."

He looked at her.

"Britt you didn't dream, it really happened and I'm glad it did. I have been fighting it for such a long time and am glad that you finally trusted me. I wouldn't want it any other way either."

She smiled at him.

"Neither would I Alvie. I was just nervous last night, after what my friends say to me in the locker room. I really thought if I gave into you that you would've left me. That's why I have resisted you so long. It's just last night I couldn't resist you anymore; I wanted to show you how much I love you. I knew I wanted my 1st time to be with you, and now you are my 1st love. I love you so much Alvie."

He smiled at her and sat next to her on the couch.

"You shouldn't have been nervous Britt. We are together for 10 years, and your friends can only wish they have what you do."

She smiled.

"Yes I have you and they can only wish they did. Besides I have my fame thanks to you of course. How did I get so lucky to have you?"

He smiled as he held her.

"You got lucky I guess, and so did I. I love you Britt. Hey Britt have you checked your cell? I looked at mine this morning and Simon tried to call me but left no message. I hope everything is okay between him and your sister."

Britt reached over and checked her cell.

"Yea Jean tried to call me too. Hmm maybe they are fighting again. I can't imagine what they could be fighting about can you Alvie?"

He shook his head.

"No I can't imagine what they are fighting about. You never know with those two, and Simon is always lecturing me about our relationship. We always fight but we always make up shortly after the fight is over. I thought we were the only couple that has fights, but I think I was wrong."

Jeanette woke up the next morning and sat on the porch trying to get the picture of Simon and Gillian a week ago out of her mind trying not to cry. She just left and walked home by herself crying. Simon woke up and entered the spare room and didn't see Jeanette. He looked outside and watched as she walked home with her head down. His cell rang and he answered.

"Gillian, why are you calling me now? I told you I was spending time with Jeanette. What is it with your laughing?"

She responded.

"Are you telling me you have no idea why Jeanette has been acting weird lately? I will tell you why; when we were at the movies last Friday she happened to be there with Valerie and saw us kiss. She thinks that you're cheating on her with me. Isn't it true Simon, you are cheating on your girlfriend with me, but you don't know how to tell her you rather be with me than that klutz. Are we meeting in our normal place?"

At that moment Alvin walked in glaring at Simon.

"So that is what you two are fighting about? When will you ever learn bro? You are so busy telling me that I fight too much with Brittany. When you are cheating on your girlfriend with your ex, which used you for the fame and the money. Chose that biker over you, and shoved it in your face too. I suppose you also slept with her too. You better choose bro you can't have both remember that."

Simon glared at Alvin.

"For your information I didn't sleep with anyone Mr. Know It All. Why don't you worry about your own relationship instead of butting into mine? You don't scare me Alvin remember, I have beat you in many of the fights we have had."

Alvin laughed.

"Really when was that? I always ended up grounded because you started with me for no reason at all! You know what Simon do what the hell you want I'm done with you! Now if you'd excuse me I have to get ready for Juan's birthday party now get out of my way!"

Simon looked as he blocked the stairway.

"Exactly what will you do to me shorty if I don't move? Mr. Thinks he knows it all."

Alvin grabbed his shirt and picked him up.

"I'll severely injure you if you don' move little brother, does that answer your question. I don't know who you think you're playing with Simon. Now get out of my way!"

Theodore walked in and heard his brothers fighting.

"Will you two stop it already? You are brothers not enemies for the 100th time! I am sick of hearing you two act like babies when you get into a fight now both of you move out of my way!"

He stormed up to his room and slammed his bedroom door. Then Alvin followed and stormed up to his room and also slammed his bedroom door! Simon looked and went back to his call.

"I'll meet you by ice cream shop then we will figure out what we will do from there. Bye Gillian talk to you in a bit Simon out." He hung up his cell and got ready for his date with Gillian.

Back at the Miller house Brittany was straightening up when she heard Jeanette coming in.

"Jean what is wrong? You look like you were crying. What is going on with you and Simon?"

Jeanette looked at her older sister.

"Simon has been seeing Gillian behind my back. I caught them at the movies last Friday night and they also kissed. I'll be in my room Brittany just leave me alone, I don't want to talk about it! I hate Simon that's all I know. He can keep Gillian I don't care anymore! Just leave me alone Brittany!"

She ran to her room and slammed her bedroom door as Eleanor walked in. Eleanor looked at Brittany.

"Do I even want to know what is with Jean? Britt so it is true Simon has been seeing Gillian behind Jean's back? Oh no poor Jean. Shouldn't we try and calm her down Britt?"

Britt shook her head.

"Yes Ellie he has been seeing Gillian behind Jean's back. I thought it was another rumor, but now I know it's not a rumor but the truth. I have to get ready for Juan's birthday party. Will you be okay here, or would you like to join me and Alvie?"

Eleanor sighed.

"I will go. Maybe we should let Jeanette stay here and calm down? Will she be okay?"

Brittany looked.

"She will be fine Ellie. She just has to cool off. Hopefully Simon comes to his senses and realizes what he has done to Jeanette. For right now let's stay out of it okay."

Alvin got ready for Juan's party and knocked on Theo's door.

"Theo would you like to come with Britt and I to Juan's party? Eleanor is coming what do you say?"

Theo looked at the picture of all 6 of them and responded.

"Sure Alvin I'll be right down let me get ready."

Alvin sprayed his cologne on and went outside to wait for Theo as he started up his car. Theo exited the house and got in Alvin's car as they drove to the girls' house to pick them up. Brittany and Eleanor got in the car and Alvin drove toward Juan's house. They arrived at the party and Alvin parked his car. After he parked it they all entered the backyard and Juan and his girlfriend greeted all 4 of them.

"Hey guys come on in the party just started, where are Jean and Si?"

Alvin looked as he took Britt's hand and entered the house.

"Well Jean is at home crying because she caught Simon with his ex when she was at the movie with you girls. Val how long have you known about Si cheating on Jean?"

Valerie looked.

"I have known for a while. I just didn't know how to tell her she seemed so happy being with Simon. I know I am her best friend but I didn't want to hurt her Alvin. I can't believe he is doing this to Jeanette. Gillian is such a slut, it's not even funny. How can he choose Gillian over Jean? Alvin, Britt what are we going to do?"

Juan held her waist.

"Babe calm down it will be okay I promise. Let's enjoy the party please. We will figure out something I promise. There is no way am I standing here allowing Si to hurt Jean and neither will his brothers and their girlfriends."

Alvin looked and nodded.

"Yea you're right bro. He will not get away with this he will learn the hard way. When he does he better not run to me I am ready to severely injure him. He better not run to Jean either she is really hurt. Let's drop it and enjoy the party shall we?"

Britt smiled.

"Yes we shall Alvie. Come on our favorite song is on. Alvin pretty please I want to dance."

He took her hand and went to the dance floor and danced to the beat with Brittany laughing. Juan took Valerie's hand and also headed to the dance floor and also enjoyed himself as he danced with his girl. Theo grabbed Ellie's hand and they joined them on the dance floor. They also enjoyed themselves. A couple hours later Jeanette arrived at the party and watched as they all had a great time staring at her cell phone wallpaper. Carlos recognized her and walked over to her.

"Hey Jean how are you? Have you been crying? Come on to the dance floor with me, I am your friend and hate to see you like this. Jean come on please dance with me?"

Jean took his hand and joined him on the dance floor and had a great time. Britt smiled as she saw Jeanette dancing with Carlos. Eleanor was also happy that Jean decided to join them at the party. The song ended and they all entered the porch to get something to eat. Valerie looked at Jean.

"Jean are you okay now? Sorry about Simon, I just didn't know how to tell you. I'm your best friend and should've gone to you the 1st time I saw him with Gillian. Please forgive me."

Jean smiled.

"You're forgiven Val. I wouldn't have believed you even if you did tell me. I had to see it with my own eyes and when we went to the movies I caught them together. I kind of had the feeling he was cheating on me because when he talked to me he couldn't look me straight in my eyes like he normally did. Besides, I checked his cell and saw that she has been calling him a lot lately. I caught him red handed, and am through with him. So he can keep Gillian, she's going to hurt him again and this time I am not going to be there to comfort him. I have had it."

Carlos looked at Jean.

"Jean I know you will probably yell at me, but can I take you on a date? I have liked you for a very long time."

She looked at him.

"I will think about it okay Carlos. Thank you for cheering me up. Just give me some time and I will give you my answer I promise."

He smiled.

"Okay Jean I am just glad you came. I just can't believe that Simon hurt you like this. He has no idea what he has lost. So many guys wish they were in his shoes and I was one of them and I'm admitting it."

She giggled.

"So that is why you were always tripping over your own feet when I passed by with my sisters. Its okay Carlos I'm not mad. I used to like you also but then I got with Simon and stopped liking you. We are friends now, so you will get your answer in school Monday."

In the meantime, Simon took Dave's car and met Gillian in their normal meeting place. She was waiting at the ice cream shop and ran out to the car and got in the passenger side.

"Hey Si I'm so glad you met me today. I was afraid you were going to Juan's party and stand me up. So what are you going to do? Are we going to keep seeing each other or is it over after tonight? Please answer the question Si. I didn't mean to hurt you when I decided to date Johnny. I had no idea what I had until you dumped me for cheating on you. It was just so awesome dating one of the chipmunks and I took advantage of you. I will never forgive myself for being such a fool."

Simon looked at her.

"I haven't officially broken up with Jean, but should be getting a phone call soon telling me we're over. "

At that moment his cell rang and he answered. Jeanette yelled in her cell.

"You have done it this time Simon Seville. I can't believe you cheated on me after we are together 10 years. You can have Gillian, if you think she is a better girlfriend than I am. Just lose my number we are over you two-timing jerk! Goodbye Simon!"

Simon yelled back.

"Fine then you feel that way then you also lose my number Jeanette. It's your fault pressuring me about going to the next level in our relationship. Don't blame anyone else but yourself fine then its settled we are no longer together. Make sure you let the papers know too goodbye Jeanette!"

Gillian looked and smiled at Simon.

"Does that mean that I am your girlfriend again? If you give me a second chance I will not hurt you again I promise. Simon please say yes."

He smiled at her and leaned over to kiss her. She embraced him tightly and they kissed passionately. Then he started up the car and drove toward the beach house that he and his brothers own and stay at during the summer. He took her hand as he locked up Dave's car and unlocked the door to enter the house.

She smiled and looked around.

"Wow Si this is really nice. I can't believe you three own such a pretty house. "

He looked at her and smiled.

"That's part of being world known rock stars! Go and make yourself comfortable while I fix something for us to eat. Keep this in mind Gillian, this is your last chance. You pull what you did again I will not want anything to do with you and I mean it."

She sat on the couch and watched him enter the kitchen.

"I understand Si, I won't pull what I did before I promise."
