Four days later, Jeanette's pain didn't go away but, it wasn't as bad as it was at first. Alvin hadn't talked to her since the day he went to visit her because, he thought it was best to give her some space. The day was Friday and everyone was in their last class. Alvin had gym class with Jeanette, Brittany had dance class with Theodore and Simon had physics with Eleanor. In gym class everyone had free time. Some students were playing basketball, some were playing dodge ball, some soccer and some others just sat on the bleachers.
Alvin who was playing soccer with his friends, notices Jeanette sitting on the bleachers. He wanted to know how she was doing so, before heading to her, he tells one of his friends "hey, Jose I'll be back in a few minutes" his friend was about to kick the ball but then, when he heard Alvin, he tells him "oh alright but please hurry because we don't stand a chance against those guys without you being in our team" Alvin nods and makes his way to Jeanette. The girl looked sad as she held her head with both of her hands. She just sat there watching other students play.
"Hey Jean" a voice she recognized spoke to her and immediately she wasn't that sad anymore. Jeanette looks to her right to see Alvin resting a foot on the highest seat as his other foot was below. "Alvin, hi, how are you?" she questioned before sliding over to let him sit. Alvin sits down and says "I'm good and how about you? Has the pain in your abdomen gone away?" Jeanette places a hand on that area before saying "no, but the pain isn't as strong as it was on Monday" Alvin could hear the disappointment in her voice and he wanted to hug her but, he knows he's sweaty so he decides not to. "So, how-" "Alvin, why have you been avoiding me?" Alvin was caught off guard by her question. He wasn't expecting for Jeanette to ask him that. "Um well, I wanted to give you some time alone because, I thought that you might've want some time alone since you trusted me enough to tell me what was wrong with you. I thought you were embarrassed at telling me and you didn't want to tell me but, you still did" Jeanette smiles at his selfless action for giving her some space.
She knew that not even Simon had been this sweet with her. Jeanette felt like she could trust Alvin more and she couldn't believe it. When Jeanette met Alvin for the first time, she thought he was a guy who loves to prank others, is always nosy and only cares about himself. She couldn't believe how much she got to know of his other self in such short time. "Alvin, that's sweet of you but, I don't need some time alone. I always like to talk about my problems with others like my sisters but, when you showed me the real you, I only wanted to talk about my problems with you. I haven't even told my sisters about what I'm going trough and what's the cause of my pain" Jeanette's words were like bricks thrown at Alvin's face.
Alvin couldn't believe how much trust the girl was giving him. He even started to think that she was on drugs because he never got this much trust from anyone. "Jeanette, I don't know what to say I, i ,I just" Alvin started to stutter and Jeanette thought it was cute. "Alvin, come to my house after-" "Hey Alvin, could you hurry up, our team is losing. We need you" Jose cut off Jeanette and he approached them. "In a minute okay, I'm talking with my friend here" said Alvin annoyed by his friend rudely interrupting. "What were you going to say Jean?" Asked Alvin before placing an hand on her shoulder. Jeanette looks at Jose waiting impatiently and then she looks at Alvin. "Um it was nothing, you should get going now" replied Jeanette. "Are you are-" "You heard the girl, so let's go" Jose puts an arm around Alvin shoulders. Alvin didn't want leave Jeanette alone but, his stubborn friend wouldn't leave him alone.
Later after school, Alvin wanted to go visit Jeanette but, he couldn't go because he had to do chores that would took him a lot of time so, he decided that he would visit Jeanette the next day which is Saturday. Alvin cursed at himself because he forgot to take Jeanette's phone to school to give it to her. That was another reason why he wanted to go to visit her in the afternoon.
The next day, Dave went to the store with Theodore. Simon went to the library. Alvin was the only one at home. He was in his and his brothers room playing with his ps4 but after thirty minutes of playing, he got bored so he turned it off. Alvin checks the time on his phone to see that it was twelve sixteen in the afternoon. He thinks of something to do to get rid of his boredom and then he gets an idea. Alvin takes a shower, gets dressed before heading to the Millers residence. When he gets there, he notices that Miss Millers car wasn't in the driveway so, he assumed that she was gone. Alvin checks his pockets to make sure that he had Jeanette's phone with him before ringing the doorbell.
He waits a few seconds and then someone answers the door. "Alvin hi, I wasn't expecting to see you today" it was none other than Jeanette. "Hey um sorry if I came at a bad time. You're probably busy but I wanted to see you" said Alvin making himself blush because he knows that he sounded like he wanted to see Jeanette like she was his girlfriend or something. Jeanette happily tells him "oh no, I'm not busy and I'm glad you came to visit me. Here come on in" Alvin goes in the house. As he's walking behind her, he notices that the house was to quiet.
"Hey Jean, where are your sisters?" asked Alvin. Jeanette opens the door to the basement and holds it for him. "They went to the mall because Brittany kept begging Miss Miller to get her new purse. Eleanor went with them because she wants to buy a swimsuit for next Saturday" replied Jeanette as they made their way down. "Oh yeah, speaking of swimsuit are you excited for next Saturday?" Asked Alvin. Jeanette frowns and turns around. She didn't want to be a party pooper but she tells him "Alvin, I'm not going to the beach with y'all, and if I don't go then Miss Miller won't go because she doesn't like any of us being home alone" Alvin wasn't happy with her answer. His good mood had gone away.
"Why aren't you going with us?" Asked Alvin. Jeanette places her hands on the sides of her button up shirt before and says "I'm sorry but I can't tell you-" "you know what, I've had it. I'm tired of hearing you saying I'm sorry but I can't tell you. I thought you trust me Jean?" Alvin turns and was about to head to the door but, Jeanette quickly activates her emergency lockdown by pressing a nearby button that blended in with the color of the wall. Alvin was shocked by what was happening. He saw that the door now had a steel door blocking it. Alvin turns around and sees Jeanette who still had her back facing him. "Jeanette, what's your problem? Let me out" he tells her.
He waits for her to say something as he took steps back. Alvin's back makes contact with the steel door as he kept his eyes on the girl. "Alvin, could you come here please?" asked Jeanette as she stood still. For the first time, Alvin was scared and he didn't want to get near her. He just wanted to get out. "No, and please let me out" he replies. Jeanette shakes her head and then puts to fingers in her mouth before whistling. Alvin was dumbfounded by her actions as he saw four robots approaching Jeanette. The four looked like the same robot that Alvin saw the first time he came to her basement.
"Please bring him to me" Jeanette ordered the four and they obey. Alvin was trapped, he had no way out. In a quick second, the four robots, grabbed Alvin and they started to carry him. He tries to fight to get free but, he was appalled to realize that the small robots were strong. They stop when they were a feet away from Jeanette. Alvin couldn't believe what was happening. He's never seen Jeanette act like this. "Jeanette, why are you doing this to me?" Asked Alvin as his arms and legs were held by the four robots. "Alvin, I'm sorry for forcing you to stay but, I want to answer your question and finally tell you what is causing me to have pain in my abdomen" she tells him before snapping her fingers.
The robots let go of Alvin and they float away. Jeanette was waiting for Alvin to say something as her back was still facing him. She was feeling guilty for treating Alvin like a prisoner but, she had a good reason for doing that. Alvin calms down a bit and says "well, what are you waiting for, tell me what you want to tell me and then let me get out of here" Alvin didn't mean to speak to her harshly but, he was scared. Jeanette doesn't answer and begins to unbutton her shirt instead. Alvin couldn't tell what she was doing but, when he sees her remove her shirt, he was stunned.
Jeanette's Bra was exposed but she wasn't finished. Next she places her hands behind her back and unclasps her Bra letting it all to the floor. Alvin was very shocked by what his eyes were showing him. He was also, confused, scared and curious. "This is why, I won't go with y'all" said Jeanette before turning around. Alvin was speechless by what was in front of him. He was enjoying the view but at the same time, he was horrified. A rash was all over her upper body, but what shocked him the most was red hole on her abdomen. Jeanette sees his reaction and begins to sob. She buries her face in her hands feeling disgusted and ashamed of herself.
Alvin does his best to not look at her Bazookas as he looks at the hole. He didn't know what to say. He was to shocked to move. Jeanette looks at him and sees the same look his face. "That's right, get a good look at me, I look like a monster" she said and gets up before she pushes the emergency lockdown button. The steel door blocking the exit, disappears. "Alvin please get out" she tells him before crossing her arms covering her private parts. Alvin shakes his head to get him self to say something. He slaps himself in the face before saying "Jeanette, I'm sorry. But you don't look like a monster, and if I would've known that you were suffering this much, I wouldn't have left your side. I would've been with you when you needed me" Jeanette just stares at him and starts to mumble something that Alvin can't hear.
Alvin picks up her shirt and hands it her and says "Jeanette, come here" Jeanette grabs the shirt but doesn't put it on. Instead she uses it to dry her tears and to blow her nose. Alvin places an arm on her shoulder as they head to the door. When Alvin opens the door, he checks to see if the coast was clear. Alvin takes her to the living room and they sit on the couch. Jeanette buries her face in her hands again. Alvin decides to wait for her until she's able to talk as he rubs her hair. Even though Alvin was enjoying the view, he felt like he had no right to look at her private parts so, he takes off his sweater showing his shirt that was underneath and places it over her like a blanket.
"Shhh, there there Jean" he whispers. Jeanette looks at him and asks "Why are you not running away from me? How are you not disgusted by how I look?" Alvin dries her tears with his fingers and says "because you don't look like a monster. Also I've realized that the pain in your abdomen is not the only thing that you're dealing with. There is this rash all over you. Jean, you have to see a doctor" Jeanette really didn't want to but, she knew he was right. "I'll think about. Also there's something I have to tell you, but I trust that you won't tell anyone" she says. Alvin playfully pinches her chin. "The reason why I didn't tell you about these things in my body is because, I didn't want you to be disgusted by me. Also, this rash and this hole on my abdomen and the pain in it, is not what I'm only dealing with" said Jeanette which shocks Alvin. "What? Really?" he asks and she continues "I think something is wrong with my bladder, because whenever I use the bathroom, it hurts and I nearly release anything. It's like my bladder is just messing with me" Alvin was very concerned when he heard that.
He was now more convinced that Jeanette needs to go see a doctor. "Jean, is there another reason why you didn't tell me about this sooner? And do you know what caused all of this?" Asked Alvin before placing a hand on hers. Jeanette looks away and says "yes, but if I tell you, you'll probably hate me and not talk to me anymore" Alvin grabs her chin and makes her face him. "Jean, I would never hate you and I would rather die than hate you" said Alvin. He didn't want to admit it but, he started to feel something inside that he felt a long ago. "Alvin, I'm having these problems thanks to a game called truth or dare that we were playing last Saturday when we were camping out with your brothers and my sisters. Do you remember when dared me to drink some water from a nearby flood? And do you remember when you dared me to hide in the bushes until someone told me when time was up?" She questioned.
Alvin remembers and says "yeah" now feeling guilty because he was predicting what Jeanette was going to say. "Well, i think that water was contaminated and about me hiding in the bushes. You scared me with a bare costume and I jumped from being scared causing me to lose my balance and I felt down a cliff. Fortunately It wasn't that high but, I landed face down and making my abdomen land on a huge rock" Jeanette finished telling him. Alvin couldn't believe what he done. It was because of him that Jeanette is suffering. Alvin realizes this as he starts to feel even more guilty. Alvin tries his best to not sob but, the guilt was to strong.
He begins to sob uncontrollably as he pinched his eye lids. Jeanette wasn't surprised by this and places a hand his shoulder. "Jeanette, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-" "It's alright, I know that and I forgive you" she whispers. The two stay quiet as they stare at each other. Their lips get closer and closer as they both clean each other's tears. They both felt each other's hot breath on their lips and finally, their lips meet. A beautiful feeling was in their stomachs. The birds outside started to sing as a rainbow forms surrounding the house. They felt like they were toddlers again and were in Disney land watching fireworks in the sky as the two are in a faris wheel. Alvin always convinced himself that he would never feel anything for Jeanette but, deeeeeeep down, he knew that he felt something strong for her and she felt they same.
The kiss lasted for two minutes and when they separate their lips, Jeanette whispers "I love you" and he whispers "I love you to"
