-Too Late To Apologize-
(Back at school, Jeanette and Simon are walking down the hall as they head to lunch as Eleanor and Theodore are already down there and in line)
"Gosh Simon…you should've seen Brittany this morning, I mean she's a complete wreck," she said as they stopped by her locker to put her books away. "I can imagine, Alvin is the same way…he just doesn't want to look at anyone…he couldn't even look at me…talk to me for that matter," he said as he held her backpack. "Yeah I know…Eleanor said Britt did the same thing. I heard her crying last night and she's trying to tell me she wasn't…I know what I heard, know what I mean," she said as closed her locker and locked it.
"Maybe I could call Alvin and check up on him…I promised I would," he said as he pulled out his cell phone to call home. "(Alvin's cell phone rings (12:12 pm) and answers) Hello," he said with a deep sigh. "Alvin…it's me Simon," he replied. "How convenient…what do you want," he said from under the covers. "I'm just checking on you…you don't seem like yourself right now…considering the fact of last night, but I didn't think it would be this bad," he said as he expressed his concern. "Well I'm doing fine…again…I was fine three hours ago and I'm fine as we speak…so you can stop trying to pretend like you care," he said as he hung up on him. "Grr…something is wrong with that boy…he just hung up on me," he said frustrated as he leaned against the lockers.
"Well…maybe Britt has some different feelings…can I call her…I left my phone at home again," she asked as he gave her his cell phone. "(Brittany's cell phone rings (12:17 pm) and answers) What Simon," she said not realizing it's Jeanette. "Um…Britt…it's me…Jenny, I was just checking up on you…me and Simon are meeting Theo and Ellie in the cafeteria," she said as she started back walking with Simon down to the cafeteria. "Okay…," she said carelessly. "Look Britt…I'm just worried about you…I mean we had a run-in with Alyssa this morning and I can understand why you don't like her she's nothing but a two-timing brat," she said as by then she walked down the hall and Alyssa passed Jeanette as they growled at each other. "I just past her too just so you know," she told her over the phone. "WHAT…THAT… BIMBO CAME TO SCHOOL TODAY," she said as she sat up in the bed while yelling into the phone.
"Brittany, please don't get too stressed out over this, just take it easy, she's not worth getting worked up over," she said calmly over the phone as they entered the cafeteria. "NO JENNY…SHE'S ONLY THERE TO RUB IT IN MY FACE BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT I PROBABLY WOULDN'T SHOW UP," she shouted while holding back tears. "I gotta go see Alvin or I'll die Jenny…I just have to see him," she added as a tear came down her face. "Britt…maybe that is too soon to go through…you two we're pretty upset last night…," she was saying until Brittany responded. "Jenny…if you loved me enough…you be on my side right now," she said as she felt Jeanette was against her. "(sigh) Yes Britt I'm your sister, you know I'm on your side," she agreed as she and Simon caught up with Theodore and Eleanor to get in the lunch line. "Great, then it's settled…I'm going to see him," she concluded as she hung up and quickly got dressed, washed up, and fixed herself up and went downstairs.
"Hello Brittany, I'm glad you're feeling better…would you care for something to eat, it's around lunch time now," Miss Miller greeted her at the bottom of the stairs as she was doing some dusting around the living room. "takes a deep breath Hello Miss Miller, um…not really, I'm going to try to talk to Alvin…after all it is my fault that I caused all this," she confessed. "It's okay Brittany…it takes a woman to admit her mistakes," she said to her as she gave her a hug for comfort. "Just take it easy over there, I hear he's not doing so well," she reminded her. "O-Okay Miss Miller," she answered as she went out of the front door and walked over to the Seville's as calmly as she could and knocked on the door.
As Dave answered the door, before he could even say hello to Brittany, she just quickly blurted out "Is Alvin awake Dave…sorry if I seem to be in a rush," she said forgivingly. "Um…yes he is…but don't you think it's a bit early for you two to be seeing each other," he asked her. "Y-Yeah…but I felt so bad about yesterday and that if I hadn't gotten mad at Alvin, he wouldn't have been hit by the car yesterday…as a matter of fact, he saved my life and I really couldn't repay what he did for me even though we were fighting yesterday," she said as she was practically begging for forgiveness from Dave.
"(sigh) Well…okay, you can come in, but try not to get him worked up and you shouldn't either…you two are going through some very dramatic times right now and I'm very concerned about you two right now as well as Miss Miller," he said while telling her what he thought about the whole high school drama scene. "looks down Yes Dave, I understand…I'm just really sorry…from the bottom of my heart…I would do anything to have him back in my life right now," she said in desperation. "Well…come on in, he's upstairs," he said letting her go upstairs to see Alvin.
"(Brittany knocks on Alvin's bedroom door) Come in, if ya want," he said carelessly. As Brittany slowly eased his door open she immediately noticed a lot of the pictures he had around his room were now gone. "Um…A-Alvin…are you o-okay," she said as she quietly stepped into his room as he wasn't too thrilled to see her. "Ugh…Brittany, I don't have time for this…," he said in disgust as he got one of his crutches and tried to push the door closed on her as she stopped it with her arm. "Alvin…please just listen to me, I'm so…," she tried again to apologize as he interrupted. "Brittany I don't wanna HEAR IT…I tried to apologize to you and you threw it back in my face," he said back to her as he was starting to get annoyed.
"But Alvin...," she tried again. "Brittany, will you get out of my room before make Dave throw you out," he added as he was fuming mad now. "(tears coming down) I can't believe you...you're actually gonna choose her o-over me," she said in disbelief. "Well believe is sister...i mean this IS what you wanted right...RIGHT," he said as his love for Brittany was quickly fading. "I...I didn't...," she tried to say as she was really scared now that she officially lost him now. She started backing up as Alvin picture of them in a picture frame and looked at it. "A-Alvin...i still l-love you...m-maybe we can still work this out," she pleaded with him. By then, Alvin looked at Brittany with a look she had never seen before as she was really scared now. "BRITTANY...GET OUT OF MY ROOM...NOW," he screamed as he tried to throw the picture at her, but Brittany managed to get out of the door before it smashed against it. She leaned against the wall to the left of the doorway to his room as she nearly had a panic attack. By then, she saw Dave coming up the stairs to see what happened. "Brittany...what happened," he asked as he saw the traumatized look on her face. "He...He...d-does love...Aly...Alys...," she tried to explain as instead she just pushed him aside and ran downstairs and out of the front door crying.
"Alvin...are you sure everything okay in here," he asked as he open the door to his room and noticed the broken picture frame and glass all over the floor. He could hear Alvin what sounded like him quietly crying with his pillow covering his face. "Yeah...I'm fine...NOW," he said while trying to hide the fact that he was crying.
Dave picked up the 8X10 picture of him and Brittany which was taken at Alvin's birthday celebration the year before as they we're basically covered in birthday cake after a fun filled food fight they had. "Alvin...I really think Brittany is trying to make a turn around," he said to him as he placed the picture on Alvin's dresser. "Oh yeah...did you ever think I made a turn around...did you think I tried to apologize to her and from what I remember...she slapped me," he explained to him as he had a vivid flashback of the confrontation he and Brittany had. "But Alvin...you two we're upset at each other yesterday...and she realized that she was wrong...just like you told her that you were wrong," he explained as he was sweeping up the broken bits of glass off the floor. "Well that ship has sailed now...Alyssa loves me for who I am...she doesn't get all bent out of shape just because I talk to another person," he told Dave as he pulled the pillow away from his face.
"(sigh) Alvin...something tells me this Alyssa girl isn't all that she claims to be," he said as he thought more and more about the situation. Alvin quickly sat up in bed, "YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM HER TOO ARENT'CHA...OWWW," Alvin grabbed his leg in pain. Dave immediately checked on Alvin's leg but in a instant, he pushed Dave's hand away, "I CAN DO IT MYSELF DAVE," he shouted as Dave quickly stepped back. "Um…okay Alvin," he said as he eased his door closed and went back downstairs, "He still love Brittany…I can feel it," he said to himself.
(Meanwhile outside, Brittany decided to go for a walk as she thought about Alyssa being in love with Alvin)
"Well congratulations Alyssa…you've officially taken the boy of my dreams from me," she said to herself as she walked down the street while sinking deeper and deeper into depression. As she walked along, she thought more and more about what Jeanette said about how Alyssa is going around gloating about how she overpowered Brittany and stole Alvin's heart from her. By then out of nowhere the thought came to her, "I'm gonna go down there and prove to her that I love him…she doesn't know not one things about Alvie (sigh) although…he doesn't even care if I'm alive anymore…I've never seen him that mad before…in fact, ever," she thought as she walked down the street as she turned the corner and the school was now in sight she couldn't help but think of how Alvin turned down her apology as the song by One Republic called "Apologize" played over and over in her mind while thinking about the fun times she and Alvin had together:
-"Apologize" By: One Republic-
I'm holding on a rope
Got me 10 feet off the ground
And I'm hearin' what you say,
but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me,
then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
didn't think I'd turn around and say...
That it's too late to apologize, It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, It's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat,
it's nothing new
Yeah, yeah
I loved you with a fire red now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry, like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, It's too late
It's too late to apologize, It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, It's too late
I'm holding on a ropeGot me 10 feet off the ground
(As she snapped out of her flashback, she realized that she was now at the school as she stood outside for a few minutes thinking should she go in. Meanwhile in the cafeteria; Jeanette, Simon, Eleanor, and Theodore were already sitting down and in the middle of lunch as Alyssa walked past them and gave them a dirty look.)
"(growls) God I can't stand looking at her…she makes me so…so…angry," she said as she stared back at Alyssa as she stuck her tongue out at her. Jeanette was in full view of Alyssa as she sat at another table with other girls this time as she's very well liked now as her attitude can change at any given moment. "I think I know what's going on here," said Eleanor as she was observing Alyssa. "She only acts nice around Alvin…and the rest of the student body, to make them think that she's a angel who was sent from heaven…but for some reason she likes getting on Brittany's nerves to make Alvin annoyed," she added as she started eating her dessert.
"Well she's doing a great job on the annoying part…she's really about to drive me up the wall with this game she's playing," Jeanette said as she continued to look at Alyssa as distinctly gave Jeanette a look that no one but her understood. Eleanor and Jeanette continued to look at her as they can see the outside of the school through the window. "I mean look at her…she sucks up to all the teachers, she thinks she little miss perfect, she thinks she can take anyone's boyfriend, there's a girl that look just like Brittany outside…BRITTANY," she said out loud as the other students around her looked at her including Alyssa who couldn't help but laugh at her with a couple other students.
"What is Brittany doing here at school Jenny," Theodore asked as he just finished his dessert. "I'm not sure Theodore…but I know she's not here to brush up on study hall," she said back to him. "Well what other reason would she be doing here, especially if she was going to stay home today…she never really too thrilled to be here in the first place," Simon said to them. "Well I do have to go with you on that one Simon…I'm sure she's up to something…and I don't think it's going to be pretty," Jeanette replied as she fixed her glasses again. "(gasp) Where did she go," Eleanor wondered as she didn't see her outside anymore. "You don't think she's…h-here in the building…do you," Simon asked nervously while drinking his milk. "(shrugs) Beats me…but in a way…I hope she's not though," Jeanette answered back.
By then, Jeanette finished her lunch and was on her way to put her tray away at the drop off station. As she did so, she turned around to go back to Eleanor and the others when she was confronted by Alyssa and a couple of her newly found friends. "Well, well, well, we meet again I see," she said with a devilish smirk on her face while sipping a chocolate milkshake. "W-Why don't you just leave us alone…you're nothing but a two-faced brat w-who can't get a boyfriend of her own, so she steals someone elses," she said while trying to defend herself as she tried to turn herself away from her but everywhere she moved, Alyssa would follow. "Would you just leave me alone…can't you understand that I don't like you…I can't even see why in the world Alvin even likes you…you're nothing but a put on," she said to her looking her square in the eyes. "Alvin fell in love with a real woman…something your so-called sister will never be," as she primped her blonde hair. "Oh please…the only person in love with you is YOU," Jeanette told her off as she turned around to walk out of the door and accidentally bumped into the door. "There's no way those two are sisters," she sarcastically said as they laughs and walked back out into the dining area where Brittany was just walking into the cafeteria.
As Brittany walked in, almost the entire cafeteria stopped in its tracks as they were shocked to see Brittany actually made it to school, even though she wasn't really there for school lecture. "(gasp) Brittany is here guys," Theodore said as Jeanette and Eleanor turned around to look while Simon watched on with them. Alyssa strolled up to Brittany as they met at halfway. "Couldn't stay away could you…I swear Brittany you are becoming very irritating, why can't you see that Alvin doesn't want you anymore," she said with a smirk. "Because I know him better than you think you TRY to know him…you could care less about his feelings," she replied with her hands on her hips and staring her down. "Oh okay, let's talk about feelings…you drag him around like a dog on a leash…you tell him not to talk to another girl because you know you can't keep him if you had competition, all I wanted to be was your friend…I wanted to be Alvin's friend, but when you pushed him away, I took him in and I'm giving him everything you couldn't give…face it Brittany I wanted to fit in…and it's happened…and I've outgrown you," she said as she turned around to go back to her friends while sipping on her milkshake.
"Alyssa…you nothing but a two-faced phony who wouldn't know love if it smacked you in the face," Brittany replied back as Alyssa stopped and turned around and walked back up to hey. "Now THAT is something you're good at doing (adjusts her nose guard)…well look at the bright side, if your music career doesn't work out, which I can't see how you actually GOT one, you can be a female professional wrestler," she said as she slurped on her shake. "You're lucky I only broke your nose you valley girl speaking freak…you two-timing boyfriend stealer…," she was saying until she was cut off. "(gets in Brittany's face and whispers) You need to turn around and walk away from me before something bad happens to you…you already lost Alvin….don't lose your dignity because I will break you like Alvin's leg," she growled at her. "You are the most dirtiest excuse for a girl I've even come across you lousy…,"Brittany was saying until Alyssa took the top of her chocolate milkshake off and slowly poured it over Brittany's head as it oozed and dripped down all over her. "Now who's dirty…I told you don't mess with me Brittany…I can be the sweetest girl ever…but if you mess with me…I can be your worst nightmare," she whispered to her as she walked off as all Brittany could do was just cry and run off as the rest of the students couldn't help but laugh in shock and awe. "Oh my god…I think Brittany is worse than broken right now," Jeanette said as they got up to go catch up with her.
-THE END-
