-The Shoe on the Other Foot-

With all excitement and confusion, not to mention medicine for the pain in his leg, Alvin went through at the scene of the accident, it left him pretty tired and fatigued as he woke up in the hospital room with doctors trying to talk to him. "Alvin…Alvin…are you alert," one of the doctors said to him as Alvin was a little groggy waking up. "Ye….yes," he mumbled as his opened a little. "How are you feeling," the doctor asked him. "A little better…my legs hurt though," he answered. "Yes…you were hit by a car earlier this evening…do you remember that?" he asked him. "Yeah…but…what about…Brittany," Alvin asked as he started coming out of it. "Don't worry, she's fine…she wasn't hurt at all," he gave him the good news as the other doctors took his vitals again.

"All I remember was Brittany…screaming at me…then she turned around and started walking towards the street…then everything else happened so fast…I couldn't even remember what I did till I noticed I was lying on the ground and my leg was…ow…killing me," he explained to the doctor. "Is the pain starting to return," he doctor asked him as he pulled out a needle and a vile of pain killer medicine for his leg. "Um…a little…bit," Alvin replied with his eyes falling up on the vile of pain killer the doctor is measuring out to inject into his leg to ease some of the pain.

"Wait…um…what are you gonna do with that doc…ow," Alvin said as he winces in pain from the pain killer wearing off. "Well Alvin…this going to help control the pain and soreness of your leg, not to mention how swollen it is from the contusions you sustained from the accident," said the doctor who then got the needle from the nurse. "Wait a second…maybe there's another way around this," he said as he tried moving in his hospital bed. "OW…GOD…THAT HURT," scream Alvin as his leg made him even more uncomfortable.

"Alvin…you're going to have to stay still until the doctor can give you this medication," the nurse requested as he was trying to get away from getting the shot. "NO…KEEP IT AWAY…I HATE NEEDLES," he screamed in fear. "Alvin…it's going to be okay…this is only to help with the pain…otherwise you're suffering will continue without it…it's for your own good," the doctor tried to reason with him. "KEEP IT AWAY…I MEAN IT," he shouted some more as he started throwing things at the doctor to keep him away from touching him with the needle.

"Alvin, I promise you, it's not going to hurt a bit…this is only to help you…now I will admit, without it…you're going to experience a lot of pain especially with it swelling up like that it's only going to get worse if you leave it untreated…and I don't want to go to other means of you taking this medication," he explained sternly. "What do you mean," Alvin asked with a fear in his voice. "I'm talking about having you put in a sedative state and having the medicine injected that way…either way you're going to have to take this…especially if you want to get better and stop the miserable pain," the doctor added.

"Well…I hate needles," Alvin confessed as he started trembling again from the excitement. "That's understandable…but this is for your own good…all shots here are for your own good, it's not like it's meant for it to hurt or anything," he tried reasoning with him. "Well…hmmm…let me see it," he asked as he tried to sit up in the hospital bed. The doctor held it up as it already had the required dose of pain killer already set to go in him. "OH NO…NOT THAT THING…IHAT NEEDLES," he screamed again as if he was feared for his life. "I DON'T WANT IT," he added.

Just as Alvin was going through his breakdown again, Alyssa and her mom arrived at the hospital as they came through the emergency room door and into the waiting room. Alyssa quickly ran to the reception desk asking for Alvin. "How may I help you young lady," the receptionist asked. "I need to see Alvin Seville…has he been brought in," she begged the lady at the front desk. "Are you a member of the family," the lady asked. "No…I'm his friend…a really good friend of his…," she started to say until the receptionist cut her off. "I'm sorry only family members are only allowed in the back to see patients," the receptionist explained to her. "But please…I have to see him…please," she begged for mercy.

"Alyssa why don't you come and sit down okay…I'm sure he's okay…," her mom was in the middle of saying. "I'm sorry miss but its strict rule that only family members can see patients in the emergency room," the receptionist repeated to her. "So…he IS here," she said to the receptionist as her mom tried to help her sit down in the waiting area. Just then one of the doctors who works in the hospital was getting clearance to go in the back where the emergency room was and by then she jumped up and ran towards the back. "ALYSSA…COME BACK," he mom screamed for her as she didn't listen. As that was happening Dave and Miss Miller brought the rest of the boys and girls to the hospital.

As Brittany was coming through the doors she saw Alyssa already running towards the back as her mom and security had stared running off after her. By then another security guard gained clearance into the emergency room and as the doors opened Brittany took off towards the back after her as she too went flying past the guard who missed grabbing her. As Alyssa rounded a corner she was met by one of the hospital patients going to the bathroom as she almost knocked her down. "Excuse me…coming through," she told the lady as she was almost knocked up against the wall just as Brittany quickly rounded the same corner.

"WATCH OUT…EXCUSE ME," Brittany scream as she came barreling through around the corner almost hitting a couple nurse and patients along the way as she tries to catch up with Alyssa all while trying to find Alvin's hospital room. Alyssa turned around for a second and noticed that Brittany was gaining on her but the more she ran the more Brittany was catching up. By now they both we're on the same hallway as Alyssa started throwing obstacles in Brittany's pathway like trash cans and custodian carts as Brittany actually tripped over a trash can causing her to lose her balance a little. Now they are back near where they started as Alyssa checks a couple rooms while Brittany comes around the corner from tripping over one of the trash cans earlier.

"Alvin…are you in here? Oops I'm sorry" Alyssa said as she randomly started selecting rooms to look in while becoming desperate looking for him. As she closed the door Brittany walked around the corner as down at the end of the hall Alyssa's mom was waiting for her as well along with one of the security guards. She looked down at the end with her mom and the security guard about to come down the hall for her then she turned around and saw Brittany about to charge at her as well then she took off down the hallway in the middle…a section they never went down before.

She threw down another trash can in Brittany's way as Alyssa turned one more corner and came up on the hallway where Alvin's room was because she heard him screaming from one of the rooms. Now Brittany came in flying around the corner as she heard his screams as well. Alyssa follows his voice until she finally finds his room with the door open. "(GASP) OH NO YOU DON'T," yelled Brittany as she ran down the hall and tackled Alyssa right in front of the door to his room. "STOP IT BRITTANY," she screamed back as they struggled with each other for a second while rolling around on the floor trying to get into his room.


"Excuse me…but can someone escort them out of the building please," the doctor demanded as Alvin stopped him. "NO WAIT…," Alvin said to him while looking at both of them. "Do you know these two girls Alvin," the doctor asked him as the rest of the chipmunks and chipettes along with Miss Miller and Dave came down to see what all the commotion was about. "Please Alvin…tell him who I am…please," Brittany begged Alvin as she desperate for him to forgive her for the way she treated him throughout the day.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS…YOU'RE ONLY TRYING TO WIN HIM BACK COS YOU DON'T FEEL LOVED LIKE YOU WANTED," Alyssa screamed at her as she came in the room to see Alvin. "YOU DON'T KNOW HIM LIKE I DO…YOU'RE ONLY TRYING TO TAKE HIM FROM ME," Brittany shouted back. "OH PLEASE, YOU'RE JUST MAD COS I LOVED HIM MORE IN ONE DAY THAN YOU EVER DID YOUR WHOLE TIME TOGETHER WITH HIM…ALL YOU DID WAS NAG HIM TO DEATH…NAG, NAG, NAG! I CAN'T SEE HOW HE EVER PUT UP WITH YOU EVEN FOR ONE DAY," Alyssa screamed back as she totally went off on Brittany as tears started coming down Brittany's face as Alyssa told the truth about her.

"Alvin…please tell the doctor who I am…please…I beg of you," Brittany pleaded with him as Alvin look at both of them. "Brittany…is a friend of mine," he mumbled a little as the doctor couldn't understand what he just said, but it was loud enough for Brittany to hear what he just said. "Alvin…please…don't do this to me," she begged for mercy. "I'm shouldn't have treated you that way with her…I'm sorry…please I need you," she begged more as security started to escort her out of the room.

"OH BRITTANY WHY DON'T YOU SAVE THE DRAMA AND LEAVE ALREADY," Alyssa scream at her as Brittany was on her way out of the door. "WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE," Brittany replied as she smacked Alyssa as hard as she could across her nose. "OW…GOD BRITTANY…IS THAT YOU'RE ONLY LINE OF DEFENSE," she said while grabbing her face as she dropped to her knees. "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU," she screamed as a little blood could be seen coming from her nose as she tilted her head back while her mom helped her to a chair. YOU'RE A PSYCHO YOU KNOW THAT...A FREAKIN PSYCHO," she yelled out as all Brittany could do was stand there with tears coming down. Alvin could only lay there and watch his relationship with Brittany vanish before his eyes.

"It's okay," Miss Miller said to the security guards. "I'll be taking her home, she's had a very long, rough day and needs to get some rest," she added. "I'M…um…I'M AFRAID OKAY…I'M AFRAID," she confessed to every one in the room as she struggled with security to let her go. "Is that what you wanted to hear Alyssa, huh….I'm afraid that you're going to take him from me okay," she added while giving in to Alyssa. "But why would you be afraid of me when all you had to do was trust Alvin…me and him only wanted off as friends that's what all we were gonna do Brittany. He told me so much about you that I thought you two were the most perfect couple in the world…but I can see that I was completely wrong," she said as she walked over towards Alvin. "He had trust in you when you didn't even trust him three inches," she added.

Brittany didn't say anything else after that but just quietly turned around with Miss Miller and walked away with tears flowing down her face as she just walked slowly with her. "I've lost him for good haven't I," she asked Miss Miller. "Don't worry dear…he might come around…but you shouldn't let someone get to you like that…a woman, especially a young woman should always have more dignity than that to do what you did," she explained to her. "If Alvin wanted to be a fool and mess around with her…which honestly I don't think he did...on purpose…then he's the fool," she added as Brittany thought about the day that went on and soon came to realize that it was indeed her fault.

By the time they reached the emergency room exit Alyssa's mom came storming down the hall to confront Brittany. "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT I'M ABOUT AT THE POINT TO STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT MYSELF LITTLE MISSY…YOU BETTER HOPE AND PRAY THAT I DON'T DECIDE TO BRING MY LAWYER INTO THIS," she told Brittany off as Brittany tried to hide behind Miss Miller. "NOW STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER OR SO HELP ME WE WILL BRING THE POLICE IN ON THIS," she added as she turned around without even acknowledging Miss Miller and stormed away. "I can see where this Alyssa gets her characteristics from," Miss Miller said as she walked with Brittany while holding her hand as they got outside.

It's pretty much dark now as the whole day was mentally exhausting to Brittany. It finally stopped raining and there was a chill in the air as it reminded Brittany that now she's cold and alone now as they got to the car for Miss Miller to drive her home. As she got home, she took a longer than normal bubble bath to try to relax her aching body from her long day as she couldn't help but cry over Alvin. After her bath Miss Miller made her some of her famous home-made chicken noodle soup to warm her up a little as she just stayed in bedroom the rest of the evening not really saying much.

She spent the rest of her time in bed for the night looking at more pictures and watching videos of her and Alvin from over the years as he's the only person she's really been with. "I…miss…you," she barely said as she as tears formed in her eyes as she just laid there surrounded by pictures of them and cried herself to sleep. Later on around 10:00, Jeanette and Eleanor were brought home by Dave as they came upstairs to the bedroom and noticed the video was still playing as it was showing Alvin and Brittany performing their first public duet as a couple as Eleanor looked over and noticed through the light shining on Brittany from the TV that she was already sleep.

"Poor Brittany," whispered Eleanor as she slowly walked up to her and pulled the covers up to her. "She's taking this really, really hard," Jeanette added with a whisper.

Meanwhile downstairs Miss Miller was talking to Dave about all that happened today as Dave already helped Alvin get upstairs as he went straight to bed. "So how's Alvin," she asked him. "Well the doctors said it's definitely broken but they managed to put him under some pain killers to ease the pain and swelling…that was the hard part I was told," Dave explained to her. "Well Brittany is pretty beat up mentally right now…that Alyssa girl really screwed her up and brought out a side of Brittany I thought I would never see," Miss Miller said as Dave walked outside to head home for the night. "Yeah…I wanted to get them together one day and constructively work this out, but Alyssa's mom doesn't want Brittany no where near Alyssa…maybe we can work something out one day," he said as h walked down the steps to go home. "Okay David…have a good night and tell Alvin I said to get better," Miss Miller said as they waved goodbye and closed the door to lock it for the night.
