Chapter 10 The Message

Brittany sat quietly to herself on a small table near the stage, watching the band continue to play songs. She tried her best to forget about what happened and enjoy the night, but it kept repeating again and again in her head like a bad song, making the tears constantly surface.

"This was suppose to be the best night of my life" she wimpered as wiped away the tears. "How could he not love me, we are best friends. A lot of friendships evolve into love, how come mine didn't?".

She dug her paws into her face, trying to hold back the waterfall of tears coming out of her eyes.

"How are you doing Brittany?".

She slowly raised her head and looked back, seeing her sisters standing there with Simon and Theodore. "Fine" she huffed sarcasticly, wiping away more tears, "I just had my heart broken by someone I love. I am doing great".

Everyone looked at each other as they all sat down next to Brittany and began to comfort her. Jeanette and Eleanor sat on either side of Brittany while Simon and Theodore sat next to the chipettes. Brittany's head fell onto Jeanette's should as she burst into tears.

Both of her sisters then began to gently rub her back as they tried to comfort their sister.

"I showed him my heart" she sniffed, "and he stomped on it". "I am sure Alvin is very sorry for what he did" Simon said quietly. Brittany looked up at him, with anger burning in her blood shot eyes. "If he was sorry, he would have been back by now to tell me" she growled.

"Maybe Alvin is just scared" Theodore said quietly. "Alvin scared, ha" she replied, "we are talking about a chipmunk that has no emotions or heart".

"How do you know Brittany?" replied Simon, "did you you think about what he might be going through". Brittany remained silent, then the tears started to fall again. "I was going through a lot to, and I still managed to tell him. He is just a jerk".

A loud tap then came from the speakers as everyone turned to the stage to see Dr. Rubin standing infront of a closed curtain.

"Sorry to interupt the lovely dance we are having tonight, but we have a special last minute preformance. All I was told that these two songs that will be sung have a special meaning. I hope you all will enjoy".

Dr. Rubin then stepped off the stage as the lights focusing on the stage turned on, shinning against the curtain. Just then a loud guitar solo broke out, quickly followed by some drums and another guitar with a piano in the background.

A high pitched voice then broke out over the speakers, speaking only briefly. "One time".

The drums then did a quick solo as the curtain quickly raised, revealing Alvin standing at the front of the stage, playing the quitar like crazy, wearing a small head set microphone. He then looked out to the audience as he began to sing.

"I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time"

Brittany looked up at the stage in shock. Her face then turned bitter and angry as she quickly tried to stand up to leave the gym, but her sisters grabed her arms held her down. "Trust us Britt" Eleanor yelled over the music, "you will want to hear this". Brittany then sat back down as she rolled her eyes, not wanting to be in the same room as Alvin.

"I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me.
I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy
It's so strange, I can't believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

"Falling for the first time?" Brittany thought as she watched Alvin. "What is he doing? what is he talking about?".

"Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost the one I love?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time"

Brittany felt her heart begin to race, as she began to piece togeather what Alvin was doing. "He is singing to me, the special meaning behind the songs are to me". Tears began to form in her eyes as Alvin continued to preform.

"I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything
I'm so thrilled to finally be feeling
I'm so done, turn me over cause it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time"

"Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost the one I love?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind"

Alvin then began to play on his guitar like crazy as the rest of the band followed. With in a few seconds, the band suddenly came to a dead hualt as the crowd burst into cheers.

Alvin the held up his hands, making everyone in the gym fall silent. "Thank you, but there is one more song I have to sing, and it is very important for me to sing, enjoy". Everyone watched as Alvin began to do another guitar solo, followed quickly by the band. Then after a few seconds, Alvin looked up and opened his mouth.

"So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love"

Brittany burst into tears as continued to watch Alvin sing. For brief moments, he looked down at her, giving her a small smile. She smiled back as she tried to contain her joy. "He is singing to me" she she said, her voice almost a scream.

"Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love [x7]

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally [x2]

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

The song then ended, as Alvin pulled off his quitar with crowd cheering. He waved slowly as he spoke one last time. "You have been a great school West Eastman. Good luck in your future".

Alvin then ran off the stage as the band went back to playing the dance music it had planned for that night.

Brittany was motionless as tears of joy ran down her face. "We told you you'd want to hear this" Jeanette said as they all smiled at Brittany. She gave them all a thankful smile, but before she could say anything, Alvin jumped up onto the table, with a small smile on his face as he tucked his paws into his pockets.

"I think we will leave you two alone" Jeanette said as she gestured for everyone to get off the table. Everyone quickly jumped off, leaving the two standing face to face, silent.

There was a long silence between the two, until Alvin finally opened his mouth. "Britt, I owe you a appology".

She stepped up to Alvin and gently grabed his paws. "Why didn't you tell me how you felt?. Why did you just run away?".

Alvin looked into her eyes sadly as he gave a small sigh. "I was scared Britt. I may seem tough and brave, but I am not some sort of super being. I am just a normal chipmunks with normal emotions, who gets scared".

"I was scared too Alvin" she replied, "I was scared you didn't share what I felt, and you only saw me as a friend".

Alvin brought his right paw up to her cheek and gently stroked it. Brittany could feel shivers once again travel through her body from Alvin's touch. She looked back into his eyes, feeling herself getting lost again.

"I see you as a friend Brittany, but I also see you for so much more, sweet and caring, kind, and comapassionate. Not to mention, a girl I love with all my heart. I love you Brittany, and I always will". Brittany could feel the tears starting to form in her eyes again as she jumped towards Alvin and huged him.

Alvin huged back as the two held each other tightly for what seemed like forever. Brittany the pulled away and looked right at Alvin. "I never told you what my nightmare was a few weeks ago" she said as a playful smile came on her face. "What was it?" replied Alvin as he gave her a gental smile.

"It was about you being romantic". Alvin's jaw dropped as he just stared at Brittany. She could feel all the pain and sorrow she was feeling a few minutes ago disappear as she just smiled at Alvin.

The weight was off her shoulders, and her hopes and dreams were realized. After a moment of being still, Alvin finally moved as he extended his paw. "I still owe you a dance" he said with a big smile.

Brittany looked down at his paw, then back into his eyes and gave a sarcastic groan, "Alright fine". She then giggled as she took Alvin's paw as they pulled in close and began to slowly dance in circles. Despite the heartache she had suffered, this was one of the best nights of her life.

Don't worry, this is not the last chapter. The name of the songs Alvin sang are - Falling for the first time by Barenaked ladies, and Accidently In Love by Counting Crows.

The trailer I am making for my series won't be ready until Thursday or Friday, maybe Wednesday if I am luck, but the story itself I won't begin writting until Mid July, so in the mean time, I might do another romance story.

And one thing you will see in the series is how Tyler and Sarah first got togeather. If you have questions let me know. Thanks
