Chapter 8-Abusive

"When did this happen?" Eleanor asked as Simon and Brittney sat next to each other at the table.

"We were just talking upstairs, and then we realized how we really feel about each other," Brittney replied. Everyone looked at them, raising an eyebrow. "Right baby?" Brittney nudged Simon in the rib.

"Oh, yeah," Simon replied, hiding his disgust.

"Wow," Jeanette said, "I always thought you two hated each other."

"I did to," Alvin added.

"Don't be silly you guys," Brittney said, "I love my little Simiepoo." She pinched Simon's cheek a little too hard.

"And I love my baby girl, Brittney," Simon said as he pinched her cheek hard in return. Brittney faked a smile as she kicked him in the shin under the table. "Ouch!" he cried, "I…I hit my shin on the table leg!"

"You okay, Simon?" Dave asked, "That had to've hurt." Simon nodded.

"So watcha guys wanna do after dinner?" Alvin asked with a mouthful of food, spitting it across the table, and getting some on Simon. Simon wiped his face in disgust.

"Alvin," Dave said sternly, "don't talk with your mouth full." Alvin swallowed.

"Yes, Dave," he said obediently.

"We should go play outside after dinner!" Theodore suggested.

"Yeah!" Everyone replied. Alvin forgot his manners and said it with his mouth full again and it flew across the table and landed in Simon's mouth.

"Eeeewww!!" Simon cried as he got up and spit it in the trash can. "Al-vin!" he hollered. Simon and Dave both glared at Alvin.

"Hehe," Alvin laughed nervously, "oops."

Alvin, Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanor were playing soccer in the front yard, while Simon and Brittney were sitting on the porch holding hands and chatting.

"Don't you just love sunsets, Simon?" Brittney said in a fake romantic tone.

"I guess," Simon said, uninterested. Brittney glared at him for a second.

"Hey," She said after a few seconds, "I've got an idea; I'll sing and then you can brag on and on about how pretty my voice is."

"I-I don't know, Brittney," Simon said hesitantly, "I like Jeanette, but I don't really like the thought of trying to hurt her emotionally." Brittney grabbed his collar and pulled his face to hers.

"Do it," She said angrily. Simon gulped.

"O-okay," he said reluctantly. "Hey everybody!" He called to the other four chipmunks. "Brittney's gonna sing a song for us!" Brittney took both Simon's hands in hers and began to sing to him.

"If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And shown me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

La La La La La La La

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
Oh, Oh, You're all I need, my love...my Valentine"

"Wasn't that beautiful?" Simon asked really not meaning it at all. "You have such a beautiful voice! Almost as beautiful as you!"

"Oh, you thought thatwas beautiful?" Alvin said proudly. "You should hear Jeanette sing! Show 'em Jeanette."

"Oh, Alvin I…." Jeanette began.

"Come on, Jeanette, you sing so beautifully. Sing for 'em." Alvin said encouragingly.

"O-okay," she said as she stood on the porch and got ready to sing. She took Alvin's hands in hers and looked strait into his deep blue eyes.

"She has such beautiful green eyes," Alvin thought to himself as Jeanette got ready to sing.

"Oh!" she said, "Ellie, Britt, I'm gonna need you to back me up on this one." Eleanor and Brittney both knew immediately what song it was and began to back her up.

"(do do do do do, do do do do do)

Oh oh oh oh hoo

(do do do do do, do do do do do)

I must be crazy now
Maybe I dream too much
But when I think of you
I long to feel your touch

To whisper in your ear
Words that are old as time
Words only you would hear
If only you were mine

I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes
'Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I do
And I'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side I-I-I…

I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time

(do do do do do, do do do do do)

Oh, oh, oh ho, oh

(do do do do do)


So today, I finally find the courage deep inside
Just to walk right up to your door
But my body can't move when I finally get to it
Just like a thousand times before

Then without a word he handed me this letter
Read 'I hope this finds the way into your heart', it said

'I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time'

(Well maybe I)

I need a little love, yeah
(And maybe I)

I need a little care
And maybe I

(maybe you)

maybe you

(maybe you)
Oh you need somebody just to hold you
If you do, just reach out and I'll be there

Say you love me to

(please say you love me to)

Yeah, 'til the end of time

These three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together

Oh, I love you

Baby, I love you
(Please say you love me to)
Please please
Say you love me too

(do do do do do)
Till the end of time
My baby Oh,

(do do do do do)
Together, together, forever
(Till the end of time)

(do do do do do)
I love you

(do do do do do)
I will be your light
Shining bright
Shining through your eyes

(do do do do do)
My baby"

"That was…amazing!" Simon thought to himself as he applauded.

"That was beautiful!" Alvin exclaimed as he hugged Jeanette. Brittney glared with jealousy as she ran up to Simon and hugged him.

"Kiss me baby!" she said as she puckered up her lips to Simon.

"No," Simon said as he pushed her away a little, "I'm not comfortable kissing you yet." Brittney kicked him right where the sun don't shine.

"Ouch!" He cried in pain. "Okay," he said reluctantly with tears in his eyes. He puckered up and kissed Brittney on the lips. Everyone looked at them and gasped.

"Simon Seville!" Dave hollered from the front door as he walked out to discover his son kissing a girl. Simon jumped as he pulled away from Brittney and turned to look at his dad shamefully.

"Come here," Dave said sternly. Simon nervously followed Dave into the house and sat on the couch, waiting to be lectured and/or yelled at.

"Why did you kiss Brittney?" Dave asked sternly. "You're only nine-years-old!"

"I know," Simon replied, "but e-even though I-I l-love her, I didn't wanna kiss her, she made me do it." Dave raised an eyebrow.

"How could she havemade you do that?" Dave asked.

"Sh-she…um…" Simon said hesitantly, "she kicked me in my…private place."

"Oh," Dave said, "Okay, Simon you're off the hook. If Brittney does that ever again, you let me know, and I'll tell Ms. Miller." Simon nodded. Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from the front yard. Dave and Simon jumped up and ran to the front door to see what the commotion was all about.

Sorry it took so long for me to update, I couldn't think of what I wanted to do in this chapter. I do not own either of these songs either (obviously) "Valentine" belongs to Martina McBride and "I Love You" belongs to Celine Dion. The URL for the videos should be on my profile soon. Please Review!!
