Chapter 28: The Heart to Heart Talk

As the night went on, Alvin remained on the porch steps and stared at the stary sky. Little did Alvin know that he was being watched; through the window his brother Simon was watching him through the glass as Jeanette sat with his on the couch. It was tough for Simon and Jeanette as they were what would be to their shock months ago, the closest of their siblings. Alvin and Brittany were fighting and arguing the whole time since what happened eariler, and obviously Theodore being gone was away from Eleanor.

"Poor Alvin..." Jeanette said aloud to Simon as the both watched Alvin very mopey outside. After watching Alvin in the same position, unmoving, Simon decided to do something about it as he sat up and jumped off the couch. "What are you doing?" She asked him as he walked off.

"I'm gonna talk to him." Simon answered to her as he continued to head to the door.

"Good Luck." Jeanette whispered to herself hoping that her friend could cheer his brother up.

Simon ran through the cat door that was made for them to head outside when they wished. Simon saw Alvin still nesseled on the porch railing as he climbed as Alvin didn't seem to notice. Simon walked slowly over on the railing and then sat next to Alvin and then Alvin finally noticed next to him and gave a slight smile and then looked back straight still gathering his thoughts.

"You okay Alvin?" Simon asked as he placed a paw on Alvin's shoulder. Alvin sighed at the question before leaning his head.

"I've been better..." Alvin responded to, Simon gave a slight nod as if acknowledging the asessment his brother gave.

"So..." Simon started to say something, but stopped. It was then quiet for several seconds. Neither one of them knew what to say to the other and the silence became rather auckward.

"You wanna talk to me about something?" Alvin asked Simon, thinking it was the whole reason why he came out in the first place.

"Uh, actually I wondered if...you wanted to talk to me about something." Simon changed the subject wondering if Alvin would tell him what was on his mind about everything or anything that he felt like spilling. But Alvin didn't say anything, he was clearly depressed about that matter at hand. His brother was gone, and Brittany was furious at him, more than ever before. After waiting and wondering, Simon gave up and prepared to head back inside and let Alvin decide when he wanted to talk.

"If you ever need to talk...I'll be uh..." Simon started...but he was stopped by Alvin's calling as Simon was about to jump off.

"Simon?" He started which got Simon to turn back.

"Alvin?" He answered back.

"Did I handle this the right way?" Alvin asked swinging his feet down on the porch. Simon smiled that Alvin had to courage to talk and Simon then walked back over and sat back down by Alvin and put a shoulder around Alvin's back.

"You handled it the best you could Alvin." Simon told him from the heart, but it seemed that wasn't the answer that Alvin was looking for as he sighed again and slumped.

"Then why do I still feel terrible?" Putting a paw up to let the side of his face lay on it. "I don't think I'll ever smile again." Shaking his head saying it. The frown on Simon was a truth feeling of his emotions, never had Alvin ever felt so unhappy about something. Simon knew that Alvin depended on him on times like this to be like an older brother, even though Alvin was the eldest of them. Simon thought of a way to cheer up Alvin, ironically, using Alvin methods.

"Hey Alvin...remember the time when you put hot sauce in on Theodore's doughnut?" Simon chuckling as he said it, which perked up Alvin's ears and he sat his head up still looking straight ahead, but just then a smile appeared on his face as he snickered a bit.

"Yeah...but you went on for three weeks about how mean it was." Alvin looked over at Simon with a confused look on his face. But Simon snickered to Alvin's comment.

"Sure, it was mean...but I never said it wasn't funny." Simon joked around. Alvin's mouth opened in shock. Simon thought something he did...was funny? Simon was...making jokes? Who kidnapped Simon he thought.

"Well well, Simon Seville has a sence of humor. I knew you thought I was funny." Alvin egged on Simon nudging him in his shoulder with every word Alvin uttered next.

"Don't get carried away Alvin." Simon rebuttled as he slowly moved Alvin's arm off him, but Alvin was ready to have Simon have a taste of his own medicine.

"Or how about the time I shaving creamed your hand when you were sleeping and you slapped your face." Alvin said. Alvin would have rolled on the railing laughing if he knew he wouldn't fall off it, Simon proceeded to give Alvin a glare, exactly what Alvin wanted to do.

"That" wasn't funny." Simon pointed at the accused party.

"Me and Theo sure thought it was." Alvin laughing trying to contain himself, Simon slowly tried to contain himself too, but he soon gave in and chuckled and shook his head while doing it, hanging his head in shame while still smiling. To Alvin, that was an epic victory.

"HA! Made ya laugh!" Alvin bragged about it, but he did need to ask Simon too. "What about you Si, how do you think you handled it?" Simon looked over to Alvin wondering how to put his words to Alvin.

"Well at first I was fine, but a day doesn't go by that I feel that I could've done more." Simon stated as they both looked out to the street in front of them.

"Me too." Alvin sighed. "Why didn't we do more Simon? Why didn't we try and stop him?" Alvin asked Simon another question. Simon thought about it for a couple seconds and shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe deep down, we all felt he deserved a chance." Simon responded to his brother. Alvin thought about it himself. Maybe Simon was right, at the time, Theodore always put everyone first. He never cared about himself or what others wanted, he cared about everybody's feelings. But now...

"Yeah...but now look what's happened." Alvin spoke which got Simon's attention, but he certainly couldn't deny it. "At least it can't get much worse." Alvin followed up, but no sooner that said those words. They heard footsteps coming to the front door in a hurry. It was Dave as he was trying to find the kids as the news he heard he needed to tell them. He opened the door with urgency, getting the attention of both Simon and Alvin.

"Guys! We got a problem!" Dave frantically told the boys which put worry on their faces.

"I think it just got worse Alvin." Simon moaned to his brother.

There is Chapter 28, So the kids are about to find out what has happened to the scam that Ian pulled. How will they take it? We'll see together. Until then, thanks for reading! Take care. :)
