Chapter 7: Theodore's anger troubles

As Theodore hopped to his room in tears, this was when Alvin realised that he wasn't ok at all and he hopped after him and tried to ask Theodore what's wrong.

"Theodore what's wrong?" asked Alvin with concern as he ascended the stairs.

Theodore wasn't having any of it; he didn't want anyone with him at the moment.

"Theodore, please tell me, I can help", pleaded Alvin.

When they got to Theodore's room, Theodore stopped just inside his room and didn't turn to look at Alvin.

"Leave me alone Alvin", sobbed Theodore.

"But Theodore I …" Alvin began.

"I said leave me alone Alvin!" shouted Theodore and bursts into tears and shuts his bedroom door.

Alvin was hurt, but he can't imagine what Theodore could be going through at the moment.

The Chipettes rang Dave and asked if they could come over and Dave told them that they could, but don't expect Theodore to come out his room. Moments later the Chipettes arrived and Dave let them in and the homes' atmosphere felt uncomfortable, when they asked what was wrong with Theodore, Dave went slightly pale.

"Dave, what's wrong with Theodore?" asked Brittany.

Dave said nothing and was replaying his argument with Theodore in his mind.

"Uh Dave are you ok?" asked Eleanor.

"Girls you better sit down", replied Dave.

"What's wrong Dave?" asked Jeanette worriedly as the girls sat.

"Me and Theodore had an argument, he was very agitated and I said something then he blew his lid, I don't know what I did", explained Dave.

"Oh Dave it's not your fault, Theodore is really upset and angry about what happened at school and Alvin being suspended, mentally he's not stable", replied Eleanor.

"I'm worried about him, not even food interests him anymore", said Dave.

"I know you are Dave you're meant to, it shows you care", replied Eleanor.

Just then Theodore came downstairs and grabbed a can of soda out the refrigerator; he heard voices and sounded like the Chipettes. He sighed and went back upstairs to his room. Alvin watched with desperation and turned to Simon and knew how he could help Theodore.

"Simon, I think I know a way to help Theodore", said Alvin.

"Oh and what's that an all you can eat buffet, believe me Alvin there's no way of helping Theodore that would cheer him up", replied Simon.

"No Simon you were in the class when Theodore was being bullied", said Alvin.

"Yeah so", replied Simon.

"You can be a witness, you can tell Miss Ortega I wasn't trying to mislead her and this should help Theodore", explained Alvin.

"Have you got proof Alvin? She'll just think that you told me to say that I was in the lesson, this will get me suspended as well", asked Simon.

"Well no, but …" Alvin began, but Simon cut him off.

"No buts Alvin, getting myself suspended will just hurt Theodore more and you really don't want to do that, do you?" Simon said aggressively.

"Fine, you got any better ideas Einstein?" asked Alvin.

"I'll think of something, but in the meantime don't bother me or Theodore", replied Simon.

"Ok fine, I'll go see what Dave's up to then", said Alvin.

"You do that Alvin", said Simon to himself.

Alvin hops downstairs to find the Chipettes talking to Dave and he decides to join the conversation.

"Hi girls, what were you talking about?" asked Alvin.

"I was telling Dave about how to get proof of Mr Herrington verbally abusing pupils", replied Eleanor.

"Really, how are we going to do it?" asked Alvin eagerly.

The Chipettes looked at each other and sighed.

"I'm sorry Alvin, but you're not included", replied Brittany.

"What! Why?" Alvin exclaimed.

"You're suspended remember and if you did get caught you would get a severe punishment", replied Dave.

"Well this isn't fair, I told her the truth and I get suspended, whilst Mr Herrington gets to keep his job! I didn't do anything wrong!" shouted Alvin.

"Alvin I know you didn't, but you must understand-" Dave began, but Alvin cut him off.

"What I must understand is a teacher can push my brother around and gets no punishment, I stand up for him and I get suspended! Why am I even bothering getting my hopes up to return to school? I got no reason or motive to go back to a school that has absolutely no knowledge of the damaging factors verbal bullying does to individuals!" screamed Alvin.

"Alvin please calm down", said Dave calmly.

"Don't tell me to calm down! Why the hell was I punished and Mr Herrington is walking a free man! He is the reason that Theodore is shut in his room crying his eyes out because of verbal bullying and he contributed to the bullying!" screamed Alvin.

"Alvin, I know what you're feeling", said Dave soothingly.

"No you don't I was there so was Simon, I'm going to school tomorrow and you can't stop me!" screamed Alvin.

Alvin ran out the living room and upstairs to his room in frustration.

"Oh Alvin", said Dave to himself as he put his hand on his face in guilt.

"It's not your fault Dave, this is a big mess and we'll fix it and I advise that we allow Alvin to come tomorrow", said Eleanor soothingly.

"Alright I will, girls you better head home it's getting late and you have school tomorrow", replied Dave.

"Ok Dave see you tomorrow", said the girls.

"See you girls, good night", replied Dave as he watched them enter Miss Millers' house.
