Alvin arrived at the Millers house in a minute and knocks on the door. He waits a few seconds and then hears the door being unlocked and opened. It was one of the Chipettes. Seeing him makes her feel hopeful. Maybe he could find out what is wrong with her sister. "Alvin I'm so glad you're here. Thanks for coming. Come in. Brittany's in her room but before you go, I must warn you, when you see her you'll be surprised by her appearance. Alvin, she's broken. Don't, ask her to many questions because she will get irritated and will make her feel worse. Jeanette, Miss Miller and I have tried to convince her to talk but, we always fail" Alvin looks at her and he was getting really concerned. Something must've happened to his rival.

Alvin puts a hand on her shoulder and says "Don't worry, I won't ask her to many questions but, I do have a question for you. Has she been eating?" Eleanor nods which makes Alvin sigh in relief.

Alvin makes his way to Brittany's room and on his way there, he passes by the living room where the other Millers were in. Jeanette was trying to cheer up Miss Miller who was worried about Brittany.

Alvin sighs and as soon as he arrives at Brittany's rooms door, he hears someone crying. It was coming from the inside of the room. It broke Alvin's heart. He knew who was crying.

"Britt?"

"Britt?"

"Brittany, it's me Alvin. Can you come out?"

As soon as he talked the crying stopped. There was silence. He didn't get a reply. Alvin was gonna think that Brittany was ignoring him but then, the door opens. A gentle breeze is felt. The inside of the room was cold and mostly dark. The only light in the room was a small candle which was on the nightstand. Alvin sees a different Brittany standing there.

No ponytail style, messy hair was down, red eyes, eye bags, black t shirt, and white sweat pants. That is what she looked like. Her appearance surprised Alvin because he did not expect her to look that different. He didn't know what word to use to speak to her. "Umm... Britt... You... Why... How?" He kept trying to ask her something but it was to difficult.

Brittany felt uncomfortable after he tried to speak. She also didn't like him staring at her. Ever since that day happened, Brittany has hated it when people stare at her and Alvin was no exception. Also she didn't like him seeing how she was dressed.

Alvin notices that Brittany was about to go back in to the room therefore he grabs her shoulder to stop her. "Wait Britt, I want to ask you-" when Alvin grabbed her shoulder, he unintentionally frightens Brittany.

Brittany gasps and without warning she slaps him across the face so hard that Alvin had a hand print on his cheek. Brittany covers her mouth and realizes what she had just done. "I'm so sorry Alvin. Please forgive" she whispered before going back in to her room.

It happened so fast that Alvin didn't know what he did to make her do that. Now he believed his brothers. He believed what they said about Brittany and he felt guilt for not taking them seriously. Alvin looks at the door for a minute before walking away.

Eleanor who was sweeping in the hallway, notices Alvin walking and asks "Alvin what did she... say?" Alvin kept walking and doesn't even acknowledge her. He didn't intentionally ignore her. He was so concerned for Brittany that he did not notice Eleanor talking to him.

Alvin runs to his house and when he gets there, his brothers began to ask questions "Hey Alvin, what did Eleanor tell you?" Again Alvin didn't notice that he was being spoken to. Simon and Theodore look at each other wth surprised expressions on their faces.

Alvin goes to his room and looks for his shared phone (Dave bought the boys one phone and they had to share it with each other) which was charging. He finds it and looks at the contacts. He finds a number which belongs to one of Brittany's close friends.

"Beep, beep be-"

"Hey Charlene how are you?

"I'm fine. Just really worried about Brittany. Listen I called to ask you if you know why Brittany's been acting strange?"

"Wait you just realized that today?"

"Oh you don't know?"

"Damn. Oh okay"

"No no she still hasn't said what's bothering her"

"Wait, say what?"

"Really? Well my brothers did tell me something is wrong her but, I stupidly didn't think it was anything serious"

"Yeah okay"

"Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Yeah I will. Bye"

Alvin puts the phone away and just when he was about to head out of his room, his brothers stand in the doorway. Alvin pauses and asks "Were you two eavesdropping?"

Simon ignores his question and says "I guess Brittany didn't tell you why she's been so sad lately. Believe or not, I expected this. I hope she tells someone soon. Anywho, what did Charlene tell you?" Alvin looks at his brothers and disappointingly says "Brittany, looked worse than I thought. I saw her. She looked weak, pale, and her eyes were lifeless. I almost didn't recognize her. You should've seen her Simon. She looked more worse than the days we saw her at school. By the way I actually did notice her new look a few days ago but, I really thought it was a new look she was trying on. I... I'm really worried about her" Simon and Theodore smile sadly and approach their eldest brother. They hug and comfort him. Alvin continues

"Charlene to noticed how Brittany's been acting. She told me that Brittany barely talks to her. She thought that Brittany was acting like this because of an argument she must've had with me. Britt and I haven't argued in a while. She also told me-"

"Fellas dinners ready" Dave's voice is heard. Alvin looks at his brothers and says "I'll tell you both later" Simon and Theodore nod. The three go to the dinning room where Dave was putting plates on the table.

Two hours later, at the millers house. Everyone was asleep. Miss Millers snoring sounds was heard everywhere in the house. The Chipettes were sleeping peacefully to. Actually only one of them wasn't sleeping. She didn't want to sleep but her eye lids were getting heavier. She didn't want to have another nightmare so she makes a decision to get rid of her sleepiness. Brittany gets out of bed and then goes to the bathroom. She shuts and locks the door. She looks at the mirror. Her reflection showed an unhappy, distressed, broken girl. Brittany reaches in her pocket and takes out a penknife. She looks at her forearm and puts the penknife on top. Brittany closes her eyes and presses the knife. She feels the edge of her weapon cutting her skin. Blood was coming out. She drags the penknife for a couple of seconds. She then does the same with her other arm.
