Author's Note: Wow it feels like forever since I published a Chapter. It hasn't even been two weeks but it feels like months. I think it's time to tell you why I have been having such a hard time writing and responding to messages. I have been busy at work but that is not the only issue. If you have read my profile you know that I suffer from depression. Well that depression returned several weeks ago but I was actually afraid to admit it. I kept telling myself Oh your just tired and things like that but I was just lying to myself. I no longer cared about anything. The joy I felt from reading and writing FanFiction just went away. But over the past two days I have for the first time in a long time felt some joy in my life and actually smiled. So I am slowly getting back to myself but I still have a long way to go. Now getting back on track. In this Chapter I use two ideas that Wicket Wysteri sent me. Simon's "haircut" and Theodore making the cookies for Alvin were their ideas. I would also like to thank Wicket Wysteri for pointing out how the last Chapter was just ok. I still say they were being generous but it made me work harder on this chapter! I dug down in my bag of tricks and found a cliff hanger that will make you go crazy! ;)

Chapter 37

From Nightmare to Reality

Dave: Don't listen to those News Reporters Alvin. They only want their 5 seconds of fame.

Theodore: Dave's right Alvin! We know you didn't have anything to do with Simon disappearing!

Alvin: You know it I know it and Dave knows it but what about the rest of the world! They all think I had my brother kidnapped!

Alvin then runs upstairs to his bedroom.

Theodore: Poor Alvin. The one time he doesn't want any attention all eyes are on him.

Dave: I know and I am going to do something about it!

Dave then gets on the phone with the manager of the TV station.

Dave: Bob it's Dave.

Bob: I had a feeling you would be calling Dave. I take it you saw the news?

Dave: I saw it along with Alvin and Theodore!

Bob: I am sorry about this Dave. I am going to go have a talk with them. They will apologize on air to your family and I will put them on probation. They had no right to do what they did.

Dave: Thanks Bob I knew you would take care of it.

Bob: Oh believe me by the time I am done with them they will wish they never got out of bed today. Well, I gotta go now, Dave.

Dave: Ok Bob we will be watching the news tonight.

Dave then hangs up the phone.

Dave: Tonight the two news reporters will apologize live.

Theodore: That's great news! I will go tell Alvin!

Dave: Hold on Theodore. I don't think Alvin is in the mood to talk right now. Let's give him a little space. Remember the last time we tried to comfort him.

Theodore: Oh yeah. I know what I can do! I can make some cookies for him!

Dave: Good idea Theodore. That's sure to cheer him up!

Theodore then goes to the kitchen to start baking.

Back to Simon:

Robert: Simon is waking up.

Benjamin: Already!?

Scarlet: My he is tougher than I thought! Benjamin stay in here for now. Robert and I will go torture Simon.

Benjamin: Yes, boss.

Scarlet and Robert then make their way to Simon.

Benjamin: I was hoping he would be out longer. Now that he is awake he will have to pay the price for trying to get away. He says sighing.

Scarlet: Simon you impress me. I thought you would have been out the rest of the day after being shot and hitting your head.

Simon: You impress me, Scarlet. I thought you would have just let me die.

Scarlet: Let you die? Nonsense you are still bringing in money. Now when you stop bring in money that's when I will kill you. She says smiling.

Simon: Of course I should have known better. He says smirking.

Robert: Wipe that smirk off your face or I will do it for you!

Scarlet: Clam down! You know Simon you remind me of myself when I was younger.

Simon: Does that mean you will stop torturing me?

Scarlet: Ha! She then turns toward Robert.

Scarlet: What is the first request of the day?

Robert: Shave his hair off.

Scarlet: Oh that sounds perfect!

Robert then hands her the Hair Clippers and she starts shaving his hair off.

Scarlet: Hmm pink just isn't your color. She then snaps her fingers and pulls out a scalpel.

Simon: What are you going to do with that!?

She then starts cutting on his head.

Scarlet: Ah yes! Red looks so much better on you!

Simon: OW! STOP! He continues to yell out in pain. Blood is now running down his face getting in his eyes.

Scarlet: Louder Simon! I want the whole world to hear you!

Robert then hands her some salt. She then puts it in where she just cut Simon open.

Simon lets out the loudest scream he can.

Scarlet: This is only the beginning Simon. Have you ever heard of the Heretics Fork torture device?

Simon: I think I read about it once. It's a small bar with two prongs at each end and it straps around the neck.

Scarlet: Correct! That way if you drop your head you get stabbed in your chest and in your neck!

Simon: How long will I have to have it wear it?

Scarlet: Till I remove it. She says with an evil laugh.

Back Home:

Theodore has just finished baking cookies for Alvin.

Dave is in his den on the phone with Sam trying to get an update.

Alvin sits in the window seat in the boy's bedroom looking out the open window.

Theodore then goes up and knocks on the door.

Alvin: Come in.

Theodore: Alvin I made you some cookies.

Theodore then lays the plate beside Alvin. Alvin then picks up a cookie and starts eating it.

Alvin: Thanks, Theodore.

Theodore: Alvin those news reporters are going to apologize to you on TV tonight.

Alvin: I don't care about an apology Theo. All I care about is my love, Simon.

Theodore: Oh Alvin.

Alvin: Those reporters were right about one thing. I always want the spotlight on me.

Theodore: Alvin that's not true!

Alvin: Yes it is. Who did the crowd surfing at our concert?

Theodore: You did but…

Alvin: When the papers came out where was your name mentioned?

Theodore: Nowhere.

Alvin: And last but certainly not least what is the name of our band?

Theodore: Alvin and….

Alvin: Exactly! And I think I know what happened to Simon.

Theodore: Alvin you had nothing to do with Simon disappearing!

Alvin: Oh but I did! I bet the kidnappers didn't want Simon in the first place! I bet they wanted me!

Theodore: Alvin stop!

Alvin: It's the truth, Theo!

Alvin then starts crying.

Theodore: Alvin Simon may be gone but we will find him! And remember I am here for you and will do anything to help you.

Alvin: That's right! You can help me, Theodore!

Theodore: I will be happy to help Alvin! He says smiling.

Alvin: Since Simon is not here I can do you!

Theodore: Slow down Alvin. I am really not in the mood for that.

Alvin: WHAT! He says with a look of rage in his eyes.

Theodore starts backing away and Alvin grabs him and throws him on the bed. Alvin then removes his sweater and underwear.

Theodore: Alvin please don't do this!

Alvin starts pulling Theodore's sweater off but Theodore is fighting him.

Alvin: Are you going back on your word Theo?! You said you would be here for me! You said you would help me!

Alvin finally gets Theodore's sweater off.

Theodore: Alright Alvin I am sorry. Do what you want to me. He says with tears streaming down his face.

Theodore closes his eyes and waits for Alvin to get started. But instead, he feels tears on his chest. Theodore opens his eyes and sees Alvin above him crying.

Theodore: Alvin? Are you um ok?

Alvin: No Theodore I am sick! He says sobbing.

Alvin: I can't believe I was forcing you to have sex with me!

Theodore: Alvin it's alright you didn't do anything. You stopped. He says putting his hand on Alvin's shoulder.

Alvin: No it's not alright Theo! What I almost did is unforgivable! I think it's time that my nightmare becomes a reality.

Theodore: Alvin what do you mean? He says in a worried tone.

Alvin then hops off the bed and goes and stands on the window seat and turns around and faces Theodore.

Alvin: When you guys find Simon tell him I truly loved him.

Theodore: Alvin why are you talking like that!? He says with a worried look on his face.

Alvin: Tell Dave I loved him as well and thank him for everything he has done for me over the years.

Theodore: ALVIN DON'T! He says hopping off the bed and running to Alvin.

Alvin: I loved you to Theo! He says smiling.

Theodore: ALVINNN! He says reaching out to grab Alvin.

Alvin then jumps off the seat backward out the window.

Theodore then watches Alvin start falling towards the ground. But before he falls to the ground he blows Theodore a kiss. Then the back of Alvin's head hits the patio.

Theodore: A..l..vin. Theodore is lost for words after what he just witnessed.

Theodore: DAVE! DAVE! DAVE! He says running downstairs.

Dave: What's wrong Theodore!?

Theodore: Alvin jumped out of the window onto the patio! He says with tears in his eyes.

Dave's face goes white. He runs out to the patio with Theodore running right behind him. They both see Alvin laying on the ground bleeding out the back of his head.
