Spring Getaway
Ch 10
"The Cold Shoulder"
The morning came that the boys were returning home. My sisters were excited…but not me I just continued to think about the mood he'd be in when he gets home. We all piled into Ms. Miller's car and headed to the airport…Jeanette and Eleanor were talking bout how to spend their first night back with them as I just stared out of the window and sighed shaking my head. We pulled up to the airport and waited by the gate where their jet was due to land any minute. Eleanor stared out of the window and screamed out.
"Oh Jenny and Britt look they just landed. Brittany did you hear me?"
Jeanette looked and stared shaking her head. Then the door opened and in strolled Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and Dave. My sisters ran to his brothers and greeted them with several kisses. I just sat on the bench shaking my head as I saw the look on his face. His tone of voice on the phone played in my head…then the phone going click and me crying myself to sleep.
After the boys got their bags we headed back to Ms. Miller's car. As we got in there was still silence between Alvin and me. I just sighed and looked out of the window as my sisters cuddled up to his brothers. Dave looked from the passenger seat and stared shaking his head. Then he turned to Ms. Miller.
"Here we go again. They're not speaking to one another."
Then he looked at Alvin.
"Aren't you going to say anything to her? Alvin she's your girlfriend and has been without you for a whole week? Alvin are you listening to me?"
I looked over and realized he had his I Pod in his ears not listening to anyone and just crossed my arms by my chest. Then I also put mine on and continued to stare out of the window shaking my head. After we dropped the boys off his brothers kissed my sisters goodbye and Alvin just entered the house still not saying a word to me or looking at me. Then my sisters came back to the car and we drove back to our house. I still remained silent as we entered our house. Then I got my stuff together for school and took my shower. Blow dried my hair and got my outfit out for school tomorrow. I pulled my bed down and stared up at the picture of Alvin and cried myself to sleep.
Back at the boys' house Alvin got ready for school and also took his shower. While he was brushing his hair Simon knocked.
"Alvin can I come in?"
He sighed and looked.
"The door is open come in Simon."
Simon entered and sat on his bed.
"Alvin what got into you tonight? I mean you've been gone a whole week and you know Brittany missed you. Why did you act like that with her? Not even a hi or I missed you! That is not like you….something is on your mind and you need someone to talk to."
He turned around and yelled.
"I don't need anyone to talk to. We got into a fight alright on Saturday night does that answer your question. Why don't you worry about your own relationship and leave me alone. I know what I'm doing goodnight Simon, I'm tired and just don't want to be bothered! See you in the morning."
Simon sighed as he exited Alvin's room and entered his room and fell asleep. In Alvin's room he stared up at her picture. Then he sighed and picked up his cell dialing Brittany's cell. He left a message.
'Britt sorry about tonight. I was just really tired and angry at myself. Tomorrow as we drive to school; tell me exactly what happened at the party Saturday. See you in the morning babe I love you.'
Then he finally fell asleep after he put his cell on the charger. The next morning he woke up, took his shower and got ready for school. He grabbed his car keys and descended from the stairs to eat breakfast. Then after he was done eating his breakfast he exited the house and checked his radiator. Then Simon grabbed him and he hit his head on the hood.
"Ooh will you watch what you're doing. What is it Simon?"
Simon handed him the water for his radiator and said.
"Dave is taking me today after school to get my car. So you don't have to worry about me asking you to borrow your car I'll have my own. So are you talking to Brittany or still avoiding her?"
He looked.
"That's awesome Simon and no I'm not avoiding her anymore. I'll see you at school I have to go pick Brittany up."
Simon watched as Alvin pulled out and drove toward Ms. Miller's.
In the meantime I was getting ready for school as I listened to his voicemail. After I heard the whole message I erased it and continued to fix my hair and make-up leaving my hair down. Then I grabbed my perfume and sprayed it on checking my neck again to make sure there was no hickey on my neck. When I finished I headed downstairs and ate breakfast. Then Jeanette looked.
"Britt what was that all about yesterday?"
I sighed.
"Oh the fight we got into Saturday night after the party when he called me. Jenny can you please stop asking me. I don't feel like talking about it right now. Just drop it will you."
After I finished my breakfast I put my dish in the sink and heard Alvin beeping his horn. I grabbed my book bag kissed Ms. Miller goodbye and got into Alvin's car. As we drove to school I heard their latest single on the radio and smiled at him. The DJ came on and announced "Once again Alvin and the Chipmunks have another #1. Here is Alvin and the Chipmunks' newest #1 hit "When the Lights Go Out."
He looked at me and lowered the radio a little.
"Now tell me what happened at the party Saturday that shook you up? Brittany I mean it; tell me why you were so scared when I called you?"
I sighed.
"Alvin I really don't want to tell you because of your temper! The last thing I need is you to get suspended when our trip to Bali is so close."
At a red light he glared.
"If you don't tell me then I'll yell at you! Britt I'm still tired and stressed out from our trip and don't need this right now! I know something happened at the party that scared you, and as your boyfriend I want to know! Now answer my question! B-R-T-T-A-N-Y!"
I sighed and sat up.
"Alright I'll tell you if you stop yelling at me! A-L-V-I-I-N; now shut up and listen to me you hot head!"
He shut his mouth.
"OK I'm listening and not yelling. Brittany I'm not going to yell please tell me I was so concerned after we hung up Saturday night."
I took a deep breath and began.
"Saturday I arrived at Melissa's all stressed out and lonely missing you. So I relaxed in the hot tub as the streams massaged my tense muscles opening my eyes to see Raymond making a move on me. So naturally I slapped him; but then Danielle told Jason I made love to Raymond in the hot tub and he believed her. So then she and Melissa told me there was a huge hickey on my neck and I flipped out. Then I ran to the upstairs bedroom into the bathroom to check. I noticed there was nothing there and heard the door close and the lights went out. Then I felt him nibbling on my neck. He grabbed me from behind and pushed me to the bed and tried to undress me but my claws came out and dug into him causing him to fall to the ground giving me a chance to get up. Then I scratched his face: Alvin I was so scared and just felt my heart rapidly beating in my chest thinking what he tried to do to me! Hold me please!"
Alvin looked and held me close as the light turned green.
"Britt its ok I'm here now….and he can't hurt you anymore! Are you sure he didn't succeed! Brittany!"
I rested my head on his shoulder as the sense of security returned having him holding me.
"No Alvin he didn't my claws defended me against him but the look in his eyes scared me."
We pulled into the student parking lot and he grabbed my waist after he locked up the car and saw Phillip talking to Danielle, Melissa, and a bunch of his other friends. He looked at Alvin and smirked. Alvin caught the smirk in the corner of his eye and approached him as I hid behind him holding onto him tightly. He glared.
"You and I after school….You gone and messed with the wrong guy's girl! I mean it after school we meet in the courtyard and you'll see how fast that smirk wipes off your face! Now move out of my way and don't look at Brittany! Raymond if I hear you mess with Brittany one more time you'll also be sorry best friend or not! Let's go you guys we have to get to class!"
School went by slowly and I stared at the clock in the last class of the day and shook my head. Then I looked back and saw the way Phillip looked at Alvin using his fist and punching his hand. Then he stared at me and that smirk went across his face again. The bell rang and he stared at Alvin as we exited the classroom. After we went to our lockers Raymond ran after us and yelled.
"Alvin yo bro wait up! So what's the deal going down after school? People are talking and wondering."
Alvin looked.
"What are you talking about? What else you think is going down? I'm confronting that jerk for trying to hurt my woman! What I suppose there are bets that I'll lose cause I'm smaller than him?"
Raymond looked.
"No actually they just want to see you up close and personal. Besides Phillip is going around telling people that Brittany made the move on him cause she was lonely! Alvin I'm telling you I was there and she ran into my arms scared to death! Don't think for a minute what he said is true!"
He stared.
"What the hell are you talking about? I'm not paying attention to what he says I know he's full of it! I called Brittany Saturday night and knew she was scared! Why would you even think I'd listen to trash like that! Oh whatever Raymond; Brittany isn't a slut and has a lot of respect for herself and our relationship! Besides she told me the whole thing including you making a play for her! So I am not listening to any of it; I just got back from a trip and am not in the mood for the drama! Though I am in the mood to teach a jerk a lesson for messing with my woman without assistance thank you!"
We walked toward the courtyard and Phillip was talking. Then Alvin confronted him.
"So you are talking trash about my woman? Lying about what happened at the party Saturday? Let's get one thing straight…I may be a small chipmunk but am not a wimp though you may think I am! Especially when my girlfriend gets messed with!"
Phillip laughed.
"Yea right whatever turns you on shorty! See a shelia like Brittany needs a man that can satisfy her the way a bloke like myself can. She really has you fooled cause she was calling my name as I moved up on her not even thinking about you! So why don't you walk away before you get hurt because I'm about to lose my patience with you an insensitive rock star! I'm an Australia and a lot stronger than you small fry! So why can't you just face the truth that I have stolen Brittany from you!"
I was appalled and glared.
"Me dump my Alvin for a root rat like you who tried to take advantage of me! have you completely lost your mind! I am not interested in you and despise you! So I'd advise you to shut your mouth before Alvin loses his temper and severely injures you! Get the picture Phillip!"
I watched as Alvin's face started to get red and grabbed him trying to hold him back. Then I saw the tears rolling down his eyes and knew I better let go and just stand and watch! Alvin broke away from my grasp and went after Phillip swinging! I stood back by Raymond and listened as the crowd started to chant.
"Show him who's the boss Alvin. Teach him a lesson he'll never forget! Alvin. Alvin. Alvin!!"
Jason played as the look out for the teachers and I just watched as Phillip lunged for Alvin and how fast Alvin blocked his punches and threw them right back at him. As I watched the fight continue a smirk came across my mouth and I filed my nails! Then Simon arrived and shook his head.
"Oh man here we go again! My hot headed brother gets into yet another fight risking our trip to Bali! See told you he can't seem to stay out of trouble but do you listen to me; no of course not you love his bad boy attitude! Yet you don't think of the consequences of him getting into another fight like IS until School ends and then say bye to our trip to Bali! Nice going Brittany!"
I glared.
"Me you have your nerve blaming me Simon! I'm the one who got attacked at the party Saturday not you! Yes attacked!"
The fight ended with Alvin's shirt having little drips of blood on it. Then Phillip got up and ran to his car. He pulled out and sped down the street. The crowd clapped and looked at Alvin. Raymond stared.
"That was some fight…and just in time you ended it here comes Coach Thomas!"
Alvin gulped and threw his varsity jacket over his shirt with the blood and sat on the bench putting his arm behind my head. I rested my head on his shoulder as he stroked my forehead gently. Then Simon shook his head and stared.
"Hey Coach Thomas…what brings you out on the courtyard after school? We were just sitting around talking about our exams coming up this week and how we're spending Spring Break. Besides my new car I just bought today!"
He looked at Alvin.
"Seville I was tipped about a fight out here involving you! According to Danielle you challenged Phillip to a fight after school today! Isn't a little hot to be wearing your jacket?"
He looked.
"Fight? What fight we were all just here chilling and talking and no it's a little breezy and I can't afford to get sick. Anyway we were just leaving to go home and study for our exams. Bye Coach Thomas. Britt come on let's get home so we can study and be ready for our exams tomorrow. Bye Coach Thomas see you tomorrow"
He took my waist again and we walked to his car. He opened the passenger side for me and I got in. Then he watched as Coach Thomas got in his car and drove away sighing with relief. As soon as Alvin got in the car he took off his jacket and bloody shirt throwing it in his duffle bag just leaving him wearing his red muscle shirt! I watched as he wiped the sweat from his chest and counted to 10 cause I was getting hot just looking at his perfect build and his biceps. Simon looked.
"You are so lucky I came when I did or you'd be in trouble Alvin. Anyway I had to drive my new car and show you two it. Britt promise me you won't tell Jenny I'm picking her up in my new car from her Student Council Meeting it's a surprise! So Alvin what do you think of my new car?"
He looked and smiled.
"Whoa that's a nice car Simon. And thanks for covering my back…I don't need to get in trouble and mess up our Spring Break. Especially since it's a real vacation no work. We can just kick back and relax for once! Just think in a few days we'll be on a cruise ship on our way to Bali! A whole week of pure relaxation….no concerts, signings, or publicity events! Anyway we're heading back to our house to study for our Algebra exam tomorrow! Besides I have to wash this shirt before Dave finds out I got into a fight after school! See you back home Simon. Bye!"
He pulled out and we drove toward their house. Then he threw his shirt in with the load already in the washer and put it on. After he put the wash on he headed upstairs to his room where I lay on my stomach going over my notes to make sure they were the right ones we needed for our exam. He joined me on his bed and looked.
"Are you alright now? I told you no one messes with you and doesn't get hurt!"
I smiled at him and leaned over to kiss him. Then he smiled and gazed into my ice blue eyes.
"Britt I just hope your trust and sense of security is still there especially after what he attempted with you. I mean we're going to be on a cruise ship; don't tell me you're going to avoid me and be scared like you were the 1st time we umm you know what I mean."
I looked at him and stared into his eyes.
"Alvin of course not…how can I avoid you when we're sharing a room and a bed. Believe me I can assure you I will be fine and besides you're very irresistible!"
He smiled slyly.
"Oh I am? We'll just see how irresistible I am when we're done studying especially since both my brothers have a date with your sisters and Dave a date with Claire. Leaving you and I alone in the house with no one to bother us! Besides you'll need the energy for the exams tomorrow and the album release party."
I just looked at him.
"Ooh you're very sneaky you know that; but if we do tonight then exactly what will we do on the cruise? Well Mr. know it all? Can you answer that?"
He looked.
"What else you think? Oh please Britt don't do this to me. I understand what Phillip tried to attempt with you at the party scared you, but it's me you know I won't hurt you! Can you at least try to allow it? Brittany please?"
I sighed and saw the look in his eyes.
"Alvin can we finish studying and then I'll let you know. I'm still shaken up over what he tried to do to me. I know it's you but I'm still leery. Please let me think about it."
He looked and sighed.
"Alright Britt I won't bother you anymore until we're done studying. Let's just hope if you decide you can't tonight that you don't reject me on our cruise. Then I won't enjoy it at all and wish I was working."
We studied for about 2 hours and then we put our books away in our book bags and I lay on his bed staring at him as he zipped up his. I watched as he came on the bed and smiled up at him as he leaned down and kissed me passionately using his other hand to shut his light off. My body started to heat up and he knew it so he slowly undressed me and started to caress every inch of my body causing me to sigh and almost surrender. But as he came down toward me his face disappeared and Phillip's eyes broke through the darkness causing me to scream. Alvin flicked on his light and tried to calm me down.
"Britt snap out of it; its Alvin babe not Phillip. Brittany come on Its me your boyfriend not that jerk. Brittany!"
I opened my eyes and grabbed onto him in tears.
"Alvin I'm so sorry! I just can't please don't be mad at me. I did try honestly I did but his face still is in my mind causing me to back away!"
He put his sheets over us and held me close stroking my forehead gently. Then I rest my head on his chest and drift off to sleep.
Simon knocks and looks at Alvin's face.
"Whoa bro what happened? You seem really upset about something. Was I interrupting something? Just letting you know that Dave just got in and Ms. Miller wants Brittany home in an hour!'
He looked.
"No Simon you weren't that ex of hers tried to take advantage of her and now she's afraid of me! My Spring Break is going to suck I think I'm going to stay away from her…and just let her recover from that ordeal."
Simon looked.
"Alvin you are being ridiculous. Of course she's going to be like that especially after what he tried to do to her. But you're her boyfriend and need to help her through it instead of feeling sorry for yourself…Man Jenny rejected me 4 times tonight when I made a play while we were studying. So you're not the only one getting rejected. And poor Theo is scared because Ellie keeps on hinting and he backs away from her!
The next day I hate myself after the way I rejected Alvin and remain silent throughout the day. He just shakes his head and grips my hand tightly. I smile at him and kiss him on the cheek; and then he grabs my hands by his waist and smiles. Then the limo pulls up to the school and the 6 of us enter. We arrive at the amphitheatre and as the doors open the cameras start to flash and our fans scream at the top of their lungs.
"Brittany I love you…Jeanette you're so smart I wish I could be like you….Eleanor I could only wish I was a good person like you!! Will you marry me?"
Alvin and his brothers grab onto me and my sisters as the security guards push back the fans as they lead us to the theatre doors. We get inside and my sisters and I sigh with relief! Then enter our dressing room dragging the boys with us. I sit at the mirror and fix my make up as Alvin fixes my mouth piece.
"Britt stay still or the mouth piece will screech as you sing into it! Take it from someone it happened to the 1st time we used them. It can't be too close to your mouth as you sing."
I felt him wrap his arms around me and kiss my cheek whispering into my ear.
"You'll be fine babe! The audience is there for you 3 not us…give them a show they'll never forget! We have to get going to our seats now…Your curtain call is less than 5 minutes. See you at the dock ladies. Simon and Theodore shades on so we don't get recognized! See you ladies after the show!"
My sisters and I watched as they exited our dressing room and took deep breaths as the MC came on.
"Alright here they are Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor The Chipettes take it away ladies."
The music started and we moved across the stage as I sang.

I look out to the audience where Alvin sat and smile at him. He looks up and smiles back.. As do my sisters smile at his brothers. I fix my mouth piece.
"Alright thank you all for coming out to support us…Our last song of the night is to the three best things in our lives! Boys you know who you are…this is all for you …Ok Ladies shall we begin.
The music starts and I come forward looking at Alvin causing me to smile.
They made it clear there
ain't no doubt You don't remember it no, not even your first crush,
They don't know about the way i feel for you,
They
say one day i'll understand,
But they don't even know you,
Always
talking so much about yesterday,
But you can tell it by the look
on the face,
Tell me remember nothing (nothing)
Now having
something (having something)
That one phone call was enough
Go
ahead and ask us[Chorus]
Do any of you even remember that first crush?
Do you remember
back in the day, when your mama said,
Some day when you're grown,
and you got your own,
And though i knew what was best for you,
And
i'm telling you,
Then you must not remember your first
crush[Verse
2]
Not
like i don't appreciate, all the
ways you try in protecting,

But
i just wish that some day, you'd
open your eyes and see,
(that
you probably are right)
That you probably are right, don't
worry,
got my mind on right,
So it ain't a thang (ain't a thang) nooo
You
gotta trust me, i'm feeling you, feeling you
But can you
remember?[Chorus][Hook]
Do you remember, do you remember,
back in the day when you
know it?
(you fall in)
Do you remember, do you remember,
knew
it the minute you saw him?
Do you remember, do you
remember,
back in the day when you know it?
(you fall in)
Do
you remember, do you remember, knew
it the minute you saw him
Do
you remember oh[Chorus]
You
don't remember it no, not even your first crush,
Do any of you
even remember that first crush?
The music cut and the boys met us by the dessert table. Then Alvin grabbed my hand.
"Can I have this dance? Come on Brittany this is for you to enjoy what you have accomplished after so long! You were amazing babe. And that last song was definitely a good one. "
I smiled.
"Oh Alvin I would join you but we have to be at the autograph table in less than 20 seconds. Come with me please? We couldn't have come this far without you! Please it'll make me feel better?"
My sisters also dragged his brothers as we made our way to the autograph table to sign the Cds and take pictures with our adoring fans. The boys stood by Dave and just watched as we signed autographs and took pictures. After the signing I yawned and we drove to the dock at The LA seaport falling asleep on Alvin as we drove there…and so did my sisters fall asleep on his brothers.
