Chapter 4

Shortly after Alvin saw that what happened to Brittany was already on TV and told Dave, Dave received a phone call.

"Hello," said Dave.

"Am I speaking with David Seville," said the voice, "Manager to the Chipettes."

"Yes," said Dave, "Who is this?"

"This is TMZ calling for a statement regarding the alleged rape of your client," said the voice.

Upon hearing that, Dave scowled, "No comment."

He hung up. Alvin walked over to the window and looked out. He saw a few news vans and a growing crowd of paparazzi.

Dave walked up behind him, "Already it's starting."

"At least they can't come in," said Simon. Dave nodded.

After spending the rest of the day with Brittany and fighting their way through the paparazzi, the Chipmunks and Chipettes went home. Brittany sat in her hospital room and sighed, looking out the window.

An orderly walk in, "Don't worry about them hun. You're safe in here."

Brittany nodded as she dropped the curtain, blocking her view of the paparazzi.

"How long will I have to stay here," she asked suddenly.

The orderly turned to her, "They still want to run a few more tests to make sure you're okay. I would say Monday at the latest."

Brittany sighed again. She looked over at the vase of roses and the teddy bear that were sitting on her stand and smiled.

The orderly noticed, "So, who's the lucky guy?"

A blush came to Brittany's cheeks when she heard the question.

"He's just a friend," she responded.

"Honey," said the nurse, "Let me tell you something. If he was just a friend, he wouldn't have been here before visiting hours started carrying a dozen roses and a giant teddy bear. He's either a stalker or he cares about you more than just as a friend."

Brittany smiled when she heard this, "You think so?"

The nurse nodded, "You should get some rest."

She turned and walked out of the room. Brittany lay down and smiled as she thought of the prospect of being more than just friends with Alvin again.


After a good night's sleep, Alvin was up bright and early on Sunday morning. He arrived at the hospital at eight o'clock sharp, after a few hundred 'no comments' to the paparazzi. When he walked in, a nurse stopped him, "They're currently running a test on Brittany. You'll have to wait."

He nodded disappointedly and walked over to the waiting room. The scene on the TV was similar to the previous day.

"Welcome back to TMZ," said the announcer.

A photo of Alvin walking into the hospital flashed onto the screen.

"This just in," said the announcer, "Pop superstar Alvin Seville was just seen entering the hospital where fellow pop star Brittany Miller is being treated after being allegedly beaten and raped. Following many attempts, we still have not been able to receive any comment from her manager David Seville or guardian Beatrice Miller. Alvin also declined comment when asked about his fellow performer."

Alvin shook his head in disgust, "Damn paparazzi, they're like buzzards flocking to a corpse."

"You can say that again," said a voice behind him.

He turned to see Miss Miller.

"Oh," he said, "Hey Miss Miller."

"I figured you'd be here," she said.

Miss Miller sat down beside Alvin.

"I thought about what you said yesterday," he said, "about how I really feel about Brittany."

"And you've reached a conclusion," she said.

"Kind of," he said, "I realized that I do like her more than a friend, but I'm not sure how much more."

"It's a start," she said, "Now all you've gotta do is tell her how you feel."

"Yeah," said Alvin, "about that. I want to tell her, but what if she doesn't feel the same way anymore. Like I said before, we've done the 'dating' thing, but that only lasted about two months, and I'm the one that broke up with her. I'm just glad that we were able to still be friends. I guess I'm scared that we'll ruin what we already have."

"That is a chance that you have to be willing to take," Miss Miller said. Alvin nodded.

A nurse walked over, "The doctors are finished with Brittany; you can go in now."

When Alvin and Miss Miller entered Brittany's room, Miss Miller walked over and hugged her. "How are you feeling today," she asked.

"Ready to leave," said Brittany.

"I talked to a doctor," said Miss Miller, "He said that our family physician wants to check you first, and she won't be available until tomorrow."

"So that means one more night in this place," said Brittany as she groaned.

"It can't be that bad," said Alvin.

Brittany's eyes lit up when she heard him speak because before that she didn't realize that he was there.

"Oh yeah," she said, "you spend three days here and then tell me it's not bad."

She pointed to the window, "And they're not making it any better. I opened my curtain this morning and was almost blinded by the camera flashes."

Alvin walked over and took her hand into his, "It's only one more night. Just think, tomorrow you can leave."

She smiled. Alvin sat down and they started talking about random things as Miss Miller walked out of the room.


Meanwhile…

Jason Staford sat in the back seat of his father's limo, as he was just set free on 1.5 million dollars bail, which was only assigned because his father plays golf with the judge. He was watching the coverage on TMZ. His cell phone rang, "Hello."

"Mr. Staford, this is TMZ, we would like to have an interview with you about the allegations against you."

"Of course," he responded, "When?"

"We would like to run it on Tuesday, so how about tomorrow?"

"That works for me," he said before hanging up.

He turned his attention back to the TV screen; when Brittany's picture flashed onto the screen, he smiled, "You'll still be mine Brittany."


Finally the villain is named. That's just a random name that I picked out of thin air, it's not based on any real person.
