Chapter Ten:

I was right about the chipmunks crashing right after the sugar in the coffee left their bloodstream. In fact, I had to carry them back to the car and to their rooms when we got home. Yes, we were back in LA and yes I had moved in with Ian.

It hadn't exactly been a win for me, but I wanted to be with my boys. And to do that, I had to move in with the person who was taking care of them- Ian.

Anyway, the boys got a nice rest and the next day, we were rehearsing for the next concert. The boys were wearing new outfits that Ian had forced them into and I can honestly say that I did NOT approve. They just didn't look right.

That didn't seem to matter to Ian though. He just continued to walk around like he knew everything. In fact, that's what he was doing as we listened to rehearsal. It didn't take long for Ian to get annoyed by something either. "Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!" Ian said as he walked onto the stage. Everyone stopped and turned to face him while I stood to the side.

"C'mon guys, we need more energy! Okay? We need more dry ice, okay? We need more, y'know, wow! We're the chipmunks for crying out loud!" Ian was pepping. The boys stepped forward.

"This is absurd! I feel like P-Diddy with fur." Alvin complained. And I couldn't help but agree with him. "To be honest, the new songs don't really sound like us." Simon pointed out and I also agreed with him on that.

"You know what I think? I think the new direction is perfect. It's all about today's edge." Ian told them. Theodore stepped forward and told Ian that Dave had always said it was all about the music. Ian began to mock what Theodore had just said. "You know what- Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave is not here! Okay, it's me, fun Uncle Ian. Alright? Okay?"

The boys all just exchanged looks like they were unsure with what was going on. Ian's attention, however, was turned to two choreographers. "Oh, oh, oh What are- what are you gonna say?" Ian asked as he pointed to one of the dancers. The man just held his hands up in surrender. "What's you name?"

"Taffy." He answered with a frown and a nonchalant shrug. Interesting name.

"Taffy? What kind of name is taffy? What do you do?" Ian asked and I rolled my eyes. It was quite obvious what he did. But Ian's stupid. Taffy answered saying he did choreography. "I don't- I don't know what choreography is. What is that?"

Everyone, and I mean everyone, shot him an incredulous look. He was a record producer and he didn't know what choreography was? "It's dance." Taffy replied.

"Oh is it, dancing? Well next time say I'm the dance guy." Ian told him before his ear piece beeped. He answered it as he walked off. "Yellow? Who? Dave Seville?" My head snapped up fast and I watched Ian walk away.

Quickly, I followed him, listening to this end of the conversation. "Name rings a bell, a dead broken bell." Ian was saying. "Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea Dave. The boys and Jess are still stinging a bit from you kicking them out the door."

I frowned. What was he talking about? Was he lying to Dave about me? How dare he! "Denial! Uh no, twelve months actually if we can get China to go chipmunk." Ian was saying. "They're doing great! Haha, their loving life, living large. Face it Dave, all four of them have moved on."

What was he doing? Why was he lying to Dave about all this. And why am I don't doing anything to stop it? "They're happy now. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen Dave because we got a big world tour we're gonna start tomorrow and none of them need the extra pressure, okay? We'll send you a post card."

After he said that, he began making noises and pretending that he could no longer hear Dave. I stood there in disbelief as he hung the phone up. Ian was lying to Dave about us, about me. "Ian, was that Dave?" Alvin asked and I turned to where the boys were standing on a drum set.

"UH, yes, yes it was. And he just wanted me to let you know that he's doing great and he's happy. He's really, really happy. So alright." Ian replied and I growled to myself. He was lying to them. How long had he been lying to all of us?

"And is he coming to the show?" Theodore asked as he ran forward, accidentally knocking Alvin over, and looked up at Ian anxiously.

"You know what, I sent him tickets, and here's the thing, he sent them back. Yeah, I know. I guess he's busy you know? Got better things to do. Hey common, what's with the long furry faces? We're gonna have fun, we're gonna have a big show. I'll tell you what, you guys like deep tissue message? I know a guy. Let me call my guy, I'll get right on that."

Ian began walking away, but I stopped him before he got to far away. "You're a liar, Ian Hawk!" I growled and he anxiously turned back to see if the chipmunks were still there. They weren't.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Now, If you'll excuse me, I have things I need to do." Ian said as he tried to walk around me. I wasn't letting him get away that easy, however, and I effectively blocked his path.

"I heard you on the phone with Dave. How dare you! How long have you been feeding us lies to set us against each other? We had been perfectly happy until you stepped in!" I snapped. Ian looked unfazed however.

"We;re you really? I knew how you felt about Dave, but you never said anything. I can only imagine how horrible that had been for you. Especially when he started seeing Claire again. We're you ever really happy with him, or did you just tell yourself that because of the way you felt." Ian asked me and I took a step back, realizing he was right.

However, that wouldn't take away the fact that he had lied to all of us. "I'll be back." I warned him before I turned around and ran out of the building. I was not about to let Ian ruin my one shot at a family. Unfortunately I needed to do something I had told myself I would never do again- go see Dave Seville.

When I pulled up to Dave's house- oh did I forget to mention we bought a new house, my bad!- I couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. Three weeks is a long time. And what would he say when he saw me? Was he angry? I didn't know what to do!

But I had to go in there. Dave was the one person I counted on helping me get those boys back safe and sound. And I knew together, we could do anything! Cheesy, right? But I seem to live in a would full of cheesiness.

Anyway, my thoughts are stalling time. I climbed out of the car and locked it behind me before going to the door. I took a deep breath and knocked. It was funny, only a month ago, I wouldn't be this nervous to see Dave. And I wouldn't have knocked. I still had a key, but due to recent events, I decided it would be better to knock.

The door swung open, and in front of me stood Dave Seville. He seemed to have changed a lot these past three weeks. His hair was a mess, ruffled from no sleep and no care. He was wearing sweatpants and a white t-shirt. He seemed skinnier and maybe a little taller too. His eyes, once a bright brown color, were dull and lifeless now as they stared at me in shock.

It was obvious he has had as hard a time as I have. "J-Jess?"He finally said my name, as if he couldn't believe I was actually standing there in front of him. I smile, almost sheepishly. "Hey Dave." I said.

Dave then surprise me by pulling me in for a hug, crushing me against his chest. I chuckled and returned it. I had missed this, the way his arms felt around me. The warmth his body provided was enough to set me on fire. Mostly, I missed him. "I missed you so much Jess." He told me as we pulled apart.

"I missed you too Dave, so much. These past few weeks have been hard." I admitted. Dave nodded his agreement before ushering me inside. "I actually came back because I need your help." I told Dave.

To my surprise, Dave looked a little disappointed. But what about? It was clear he didn't feel the same about me, so why should he be upset? "Why? What's going on? Are the chipmunks okay?" He asked, his voice full of concern.

I smiled. He did care about them. I always knew he did. Dave is just a stubborn man. I knew this. "I wouldn't exactly say they're fine. Ian has practically worked them to death! And he won't listen to me about it! They don't belong out there, they're too young, Dave! They can't handle it." I ranted. I needed to get out the frustration I had been feeling the past few months after all.

"Whoa, Jess, slow down. What's going on? You're not making much sense." Dave said and I took a deep breath and nodded.

"We got to rescue them, Dave. They need someone who will actually care and take care of them. Can you please help me?" I pleaded. Dave looked shocked by my request and for a minute, I was afraid he was going to turn it down. I looked down at the floor.

"Of course I'll help you! And Jess." He said as he tilted my chin up to lock eyes with him. "You're gonna need someone to help you out with those boys."

And then, he kissed me. Inside, I was squealing like a school girl. Finally, Dave was kissing me. But on the outside, I closed my eyes and returned the kiss as I brought one hand up to cup his cheek. And the kiss was everything I had ever imagined it would be. The only world to really describe it was magical.

It ended as abruptly as it had began, but that didn't mean it wasn't any less wonderful than it had been. I kept my eyes closed, however, afraid that this was just a dream. Dave chuckled. "Are you going to open your eyes, Jess?" Dave asked.

I shook my head. "No way cause if this is a dream, I never want it to end." I replied and kept my eyes firmly shut.

"Well, I can promise you, this is no dream. Common on Jess, open your eyes so I can see you beautiful blue eyes once more." Dave prompted. I wanted to ignore him and stay as I was. But I could never just not do as he asked.

I opened my eyes and saw him sitting there in front of me, and amused smile on his face. I couldn't help it, I grinned wide enough to put the Cheshire Cat to shame. "Dave! Does this mean you love me too?" I asked, suddenly feeling very giddy.

"Yeah, Jess, it does. And I'm sorry it took so long to realize. I guess you never know how special something is until you've nearly lost it. I love you Jessica Summers and I have no plan on ever letting you go again."

My heart swelled at those words and I couldn't help but jump forward and kiss him once more. The past few weeks have definitely been hell, but I would relive it all again if it meant ending like this. I pulled away from Dave when I needed to breath again.

"I love you too, Dave Seville. And didn't I tell you you wouldn't get rid of me so easily. Now common! We got to plan! Tomorrow, we have three chipmunks we need to rescue!" I smiled, feeling happy than I have in a long time.
