The Week of the Prom
Ch 3
"A Fight Breaks Out"
Eleanor was by the refreshment table when her ex-boyfriend approached her. Then he tried to dance with her and she walked away and talked to one of her friends.
"Oh Elle that gown is beautiful on you. Where's your date; I thought you were coming with Theodore Seville. I haven't seen him or his brothers all night maybe Jordin is right maybe they do have better things to do than attend the Senior Prom. "
She laughed and pointed to the dance floor.
"Nope they're here I just have no idea where Theo is? I see Alvin and Simon on the floor with my sisters but haven't seen him all night."
Paul got mad and tried to kiss her. Then she pushed him off of her and yelled.
"Leave me alone Paul we're finished. Let me go you're hurting me!"
Theodore looked up and saw him push Eleanor toward the wall and also saw his hand go across her mouth. Then he saw her fall and walked up to him.
"You're in trouble; you gone and messed with my woman."
Paul looked and laughed.
"What you going to do shorty bite me! Well I'm waiting go on I dare you! Your brothers are no where in sight there's no one to help you if I pound you Theodore! You're a wimp just like your brother Simon always having Alvin come and finish the fights for him! Ahh poor baby gonna cry now!"
Theodore's face turned red and his fist went right into Paul's mouth. Then Paul tried to punch him again, and Theo grabbed his hand and pounded him toward the floor. Jake looked and ran to get Alvin in a panic.
"Alvin we need your help! A fight just broke out by the refreshment table. Hurry up please!"
Alvin ran and saw Theodore beating on Paul, and jumped in. Then he pulled him off of Paul and yelled.
"What got into you Theodore; answer me I mean it! Theodore!"
He looked and said as he fixed his suit.
"Eleanor's ex- boyfriend Paul tried to kiss her and she pushed him off of her. Then I saw him luring her into the wall, and then I saw him smack her across the mouth and got furious! So I beat him up! He hit my woman what was I supposed to do just stand there and do nothing! Boys aren't supposed to hit girls and he did. What would you have done?"
Alvin looked and said.
" I probably would've caused worse damage than you. You should've still gotten me or Simon."
He shook his head.
"If I would've left and got you or Simon he would've bruised Elle up. Besides she's my girl and I'm supposed to protect her like you and Simon protect her sisters."
Alvin thought for a second and responded.
"True that so you handled it well. I'm very proud of you Theo."
Brittany went to look for Alvin and saw her baby sister on the ground motionless and not breathing. She started to break down in tears and Alvin heard her crying. Then he ran to her and held her close trying to console her.
"He killed my baby sister Alvin! She's not moving or breathing!"
Theodore ran to where Eleanor lay motionless and not breathing. Then he looked and said.
"Back up everybody I need space. Just be quiet and don't move."
He leaned down to her and gave her CPR; then she opened her eyes and hugged Theodore. Alvin looked at Brittany and said.
"She's fine Brittany. Paul knocked her unconscious but Theo revived her. Come on princess dry those tears and calm down. Wait till I get my hands on my brother and your sister! Here use my handkerchief to wipe the tears. Let me help Theo with your sister. Go on sit down at our table or wait until we go with you."
She stood and watched as Alvin and Theodore helped up Eleanor. She ran into his arms and gave him a kiss on his lips. Then he looked and smiled asking.
"Are you ok Elle? Sorry I didn't get there sooner; at least you're safe now in my arms where you belong. Here hold out your wrist I have something to give you."
She put out her wrist and he put it around her wrist. Then he took her arm and followed Alvin and Brittany back to the dance floor. Simon looked and saw Theo's suit messed up and asked.
"What happened to you?"
Theodore looked and said.
"Elle I'll be right back. Let me go fix my suit right then we'll have our first dance of the night."
He walked toward the men's restroom and entered. Then he entered the stall and tucked his shirt back in his pants. When he finished he fastened his belt and put his jacket back on. Then he exited and washed his hands. Finally he exited the bathroom and returned to the dance floor. She smiled at him and said.
"That's more like it shall we join our brothers and sisters now?"
He smiled and took her hand. Then they got in position by his brothers and her sisters. He grabbed her waist and she rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.
"I love you so much Theo! We've come such a long way since we were kids and now look we're together for nearly 9 years!"
He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Yes I know that we have. Then I am glad we started out as friends and then a couple because we've been through a lot together over the years. I love you too Elle."
She smiled and asked.
"Have you forgotten how to kiss Theo? Since when do you kiss me on my cheek? Now we both know that's now how you're supposed to kiss your girlfriend."
He smiled and moved her hair from her face and their lips met as his embrace on her became closer. She grabbed his neck and returned his approach.
"Have you thought about our plans after prom yet?"
He smiled and nodded. Then he took the key out of his pocket and showed her. She smiled back at him and said.
"I'm not saying anything has to happen tonight. I just don't want to be with anyone else but you after our prom."
He smiled and said.
"Neither do I. Let's just enjoy the remainder of our prom and think about that when we go in our room ok? Come on they're about to announce King and Queen. Let's go sit down and listen to who is lucky enough to win. Come on Alvin, Brit, Simon, and Jean . Let's go sit down they're about to announce King and Queen."
All 6 of them make their way to the table and sit down. Then Jordin walks over to Brittany and smiles slyly.
"Are you ready to lose Miller. Well you are going to lose it'll be me up there dancing in the spotlight with Alvin!"
Alvin sipped his cider and looked up.
"Oh really exactly how is that possible Jordin? Brittany is the most popular girl in the senior class not you; and even if she does lose I won't dance with anyone else but my Queen so do us all a favor and stop fantasizing about me! It isn't going to happen I love Brittany and no other girl; bye Jordin! Now get away from our table you're dirtying the air we're breathing with that cheap perfume you have on…and you're choking me too! Now scram!"
Simon and the others laughed when they heard that and watched as she ran back to her table angry. Brittany smiled and kissed Alvin while Jordin watched her every move. He smiled at her and asked.
"Oh alright what was that for? Can't you see I'm trying to eat here. Couldn't you have maybe waited for me to finish chewing my food? Sometimes I wonder about you Brittany I swear. Was it that important that you had to kiss me while I was eating. You know I almost choked."
She looked and said.
"I'm sorry alright. Sue me why don't you? I thought you finished chewing you were talking Hot Shot!"
Simon buried his head and shook it.
"Here we go again. Not even at prom can those two prevent getting into a stupid fight?"
Jeanette laughed and smacked him.
"Look up Simon. They're not fighting they're making out while the entire senior class watches them too! Hello can you two breathe already; they're about to announce Prom King and Queen!"
They broke apart and Alvin sipped his cider again.
"Don't do that again Brittany understand me?"
She looked and said.
"Me; ooh you have your nerve Seville!"
He looked and smiled slyly. Then he leaned over and kissed her again and she remained silent. Then Theodore squirted him with water and pointed to the podium! Not too much just a flick…Alvin just looked and put his arm around Brittany as she also watched the podium.
One of Jordin's friends said.
"They're really the perfect couple. I've never seen Alvin Seville hold a girl like he's holding Brittany Miller right now! I'm so jealous! I hate her right now!"
Brittany sighed as she felt his arm by her head and smiled. Then she looked and asked him.
"Who do you think will win King and Queen? I'm not so sure now last I checked Jordin was leading and so were you! If you get King and she gets Queen I'll be devastated. I don't want to see you in another girl's arms Alvin! I'm serious why are you ignoring me?"
He sighed and said.
"Brittany will you stop putting yourself down already? Even if you don't get Queen I'll still pick you…We don't necessarily have to dance with the one who wins King or Queen you know! You worry too much!"
She looked as she rested her head on him and said.
"I have to especially having a boyfriend who is the lead singer of the hottest band in Rock N Roll ! Your fans are obsessed and will do just about anything to get close to you! It scares me Alvin! You think it's so easy for me but it really isn't!"
Simon looked and said.
"Look at it this way his fans get close to him, but you're the one he…gives"
Alvin put his hand over his mouth and yelled.
"Don't you even start that again! Simon I mean it shut your big mouth! You are really getting under my skin with those remarks! You nearly got me busted from our father cause you can't shut your mouth when you're supposed to!"
Jordin overheard and asked.
"Busted doing what exactly? Wouldn't you rather with a real woman than a little girl like Brittany over there clinging to you like a flea on a dog!"
Brittany's face turned red and she jumped up and punched her in the mouth. Then she glared.
"You're just jealous cause he's with me and not you! Besides the entire basketball team said you is the worst when it comes to satisfaction! You couldn't satisfy him if you tried to; only a real woman could and that you certainly aint especially with those fake balloons!"
At that all 6 of them laughed and stared at Jordin as she sat at her table burying her head in shame. Alvin looked and asked.
"Did the whole team really say that? Wow I'm definitely behind the only one who told me that was Mike! Oh well I had a feeling anyway!"
She glared and he gulped.
"Not that I was thinking of her in that…umm I'm going to shut up now…easy Brittany I didn't mean anything by it honest!"
She glared at him and said.
"For your sake you better not have or you'll be one sorry Chipmunk Alvin Seville! I'll make your life miserable if it does come back to me that you and her…aah the thought of it makes me sick!"
Jake looked and said.
"No he didn't she attacked him in the boys locker room and he got ticked off and pushed her off of him!"
Alvin looked and said.
"Aren't you over exaggerating just a little Jake? She didn't attack me she followed me into the boys locker room and I told her off! I wouldn't touch her if she was the last girl on the face of the earth! I'm more than happy with what I got?"
Jake looked and asked smiling slyly.
"Exactly what do you got that makes you so happy hmm Alvin?"
He looked and glared.
"None of your business! Oh here we go again you just can't keep your mind out of the gutter can you? I don't want to be anywhere near you or your date tonight after prom! I have my own plans thank you and my limo!"
They finally went to the podium and the announcement began.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen the moment we've all been waiting for all night. Our King happens to be the lead singer in the hottest band in the biz today, and also the captain of our Division Champion Varsity Basketball Team Alvin Seville!"
Everybody watched as he made his way to the podium and received his crown. His brothers and sisters clapped all except Brittany she had her head buried in her hands as Jordin glared at her with a smirk. Besides the entire hall clapped as they placed the crown on his head. He also began to worry who was getting Queen and really didn't want to hear the results since he also recalled seeing Jordin leading Brittany by a huge margin.
Finally seniors our Prom Queen happens to be the lead singer in the 2nd hottest band in the biz today, and The Captain of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad that has taken our Varsity squad to many championships placing 1st. Ms. Brittany Miller of the Chipettes!"
Jordin's mouth dropped and Jeanette glared at her.
"What's the matter cat got your tongue! You actually thought you had a chance against the Captain of the Varsity Squad because you slept with the guys on the basketball team well all except Alvin anyway. Well you were wrong and the polls you saw were fake. I placed those in your locker on purpose because I happen to be the President of The Senior Student Council! But I chose not to announce the winners cause I knew since lunch on the last day of exams that my sister and her man won! The real results were Brittany leading you by a long shot not you in the lead you little blonde slut! Yea Jordin my sister's man is Alvin Seville of the Chipmunks and has been for nearly 9 years! So eat that! Just like Elle and I are with Simon and Theodore from the Chipmunks nearly 9 years too! You're nothing but a groupie that has nothing better to do with her life than fantasize about ALVIN when you know you don't have a prayer getting with him! Just like you found out the day you tried to get him to sleep with you cause he happens to be the Varsity Basketball Team Captain! His two friends are witnesses to his reaction to your little game and according to them he brushed right passed you and told you off!"
Jake looked at Brittany and said.
"What are you waiting for? Hello you won prom queen go stand by your man everyone is waiting for you go! Sorry we fooled you and Alvin but it was the only way that little slut would've been put in her place…and he wasn't nice about rejecting her either! His mouth really went off! Some words came out of his mouth that I had no idea were even in his vocabulary and he made her cry! So you owe him an apology for even thinking he would stoop that low and ill…..I walked away from her when she tried to also! The only one that was stupid enough was Mike! Why else you think he got suspended the end of the season! Brittany he's getting very impatient move it will you or would you rather him come and get you!"
Alvin looked and shook his head.
'Tell me she isn't being this stubborn! Ooh sometimes she really gets to me!'
Mike looked and said.
"Umm bro can you go get the queen please? She seems to be more interested in the conversation than the results she was so worried about! Alvin go on as soon s you get her we have a surprise for you both."
He looked .
"Mike I swear if you play one of the songs I recorded with her I'm going to knock you out! I do not want to sing tonight and neither does she. We are here to have a good time not to perform…don't you even think about it I mean it!"
He looked and smiled slyly.
"I promise I won't Boy Scout honor!"
He looked and stared.
"You aint no Boy Scout buddy so don't even try and fool me! If I go and get her and you play one of those songs you're going to be sorry!"
He smiled and said.
"I promise I won't."
Alvin said to himself.
'Yea sure right when I take her hand he will; and then we're going to have to sing and then I'll kill him!'
He walked over to their table and tapped her shoulder. She looked and smiled.
"Oh Alvin I'm sorry I was just into the conversation we were all having! About the way you really rejected that little blonde slut in tears cause she lost to me for Prom Queen! I think I owe you an apology for even thinking you'd stoop that low! Will you accept my apology or not!"
He smiled slyly and said.
"Yes of course I will. Your crown your majesty. Shall we?"
She took his hand and then the song started and he shook his head.
"Remind me to kill him when I specifically told him not to play one of the songs we recorded together. Now the hall is going to beg us to perform and I'm going to be very angry!"
The hall looked and asked.
"Please sing you two are so good together! Please Alvin for your fans!"
He looked and glared at Mike.
"I'm going to kill you after the prom ! Can you please give us the microphones? Sorry about this princess!"
She took the microphone and smiled.
"It's ok I don't really mind. They are our fans we can't let them down now can we? Can we Alvin?"
He shook his head.
"No we can't let our fans down. Besides it happens to be our song too! Let's just hope my voice doesn't crack while we sing after all the yelling I just did!"
Brittany smiled and nodded then she looked at Mike.
"Alright Mike from the top ok! We're going to get you after this you know that right? You just better pray his voice holds up!"
The music starts and Alvin comes in right on cue.
Listen; I woke up this morning and heard the TV saying something about disaster in the world and it made me wonder where I'm going. There's so much darkness in the world but there is still some beauty left in you girl. But what you give me lets me know I'll be alright.
Both
Cause if your love was all I had in this life then that would be enough to the end of time. So rest your weary heart and relax your mind. Cause I'm gonna love you until the end of time.
Brittany
If he ever wonders how I'm feeling he should know that as long as he loves me I know I'll alright! Thinking about Alvin…
Alvin
When she's with me then I know we'll be alright.
Both
Cause if your love was all I had in this life then that would be enough until the end of time. So rest your weary heart and relax your mind. Cause I'm going to love you until the end of time….
This one is for the lovers. If you're out there then let me hear you say Oh oh oh…
Ending
Cause if your love was all I had in this time then that would be enough until the end of time.
The song ended and everyone clapped . Then they bowed and Alvin glared at Mike and walked over to him.
"You know I nearly lost my voice at the end of the damn song! Next time I tell you I don't want to sing you'll listen! My throat is killing me now…tomorrow I'm lucky if I have a voice at all!"
He looked and didn't see Jean or Simon and he asked.
"Theo where did Simon and Jeanette go? Ooh I'm going to knock him out I swear. What are you and Eleanor doing tonight? It's ok you can tell me just don't lie to me like Simon did. I'm in charge and if he does what I think he's going to do and where I'll have to call dad and he'll be in big trouble I can't cover for him again. I did it last year and just can't anymore I'm the eldest and have to be responsible. Now where are you two going tonight?"
He looked and said.
"No where really. We can't I forgot to get a limo. How can I be so stupid?"
Alvin looked and asked.
"So you're just staying here in the room tonight? See if you would've told me earlier I would've let you two come with Brittany and I to the beach. I have the limo coming back for us in a minute; if you want you can come with us and then I'll get my car and then you two can have the limo tonight so it can drop you back off here so you two can go in the room. Then in the morning you can ask him to pick you up and drop both of you off at home."
Theo hugged his older brother.
"Oh really thank you Alvin! Oh that performance was amazing; you really shouldn't have yelled at Mike the way you did. He was only trying to liven up the party a bit and having you two sing did that. You two performing made this prom one we can never forget Alvin!"
He looked and said.
"Yea I know that, but I nearly lost my voice when we ended that song. That's' the reason why I didn't want to sing cause I was yelling at Simon all day and had a really sore throat"
Theo handed him the lemon and said.
"You remember what dad told us right? When you have a sore throat suck on a lemon and it'll soothe the soreness away. You always do it before we hit the stage."
He nodded and said.
"Yea you're right I do. I'll go apologize to Mike now and then meet you and the others outside. Go on Theo I'll be right there."
Brittany looked.
"Oh no you won't I'm going with you to apologize to Mike because that lil blonde slut is eyeing you up and down. It seems like she's undressing you with her eyes. Look for yourself if you think I'm hallucinating! I mean it look where her eyes are!"
He looked and took her waist as he walked up to Mike. Then Jordin continued to eye him up and down and Mike's girl looked and said.
"What's the matter Jordin you see something you like? Well too bad for you whatever you want is all Brittany's no other girl can have it! So I'd advise you to back off of Alvin before you really get hurt! Brittany is one Chipette you don't want to mess with especially when it comes to Alvin."
Brittany glared and said.
"Well said girl. So I'd advise you to keep your eyes in your head Jordin he's my man and I'm not about to share him now scram!"
Alvin looked and said.
"Must you be so possessive? It is annoying sometimes you know that! Hello we're together nearly 9 years you should know better than to waste your words. Please just let her talk we're out of High School now Brittany. You won't have to worry about her anymore so chill princess ok!"
She smiled and grabbed him then she said.
"Ok Alvin I will. I just love you so much!"
He looked and smiled.
"Yea I know you do and I also love you. Let me apologize to Mike and then we'll be on our way ok?"
He walked up to Mike and said.
"Sorry about yelling but my throat was really sore when I sang that song. Its been like that all day because I have been yelling at my brother all day! Not Theodore either Simon the one who always thinks he's the oldest. So what you two up to tonight after prom? Can you believe it Mike? In a few weeks we graduate from High School and have to move on with our lives. "
Mike looked and said.
"Yea I know that. I just hope your fame doesn't get to your head and you forget about me and Jake bro we've been best friends since Elementary. Another thing bro don't lose her she's one in a million and you know I'm right! I'm surprised you two lasted as long as you did especially with the constant bickering and denial you liked each other when we were kids. Also the paparazzi up your butts every time you go out on a date or to a dance! Talk about a hard life…I wouldn't be able to hack it! How you managed is beyond me!"
Brittany looked and said.
"He's already a huge star and hasn't forgotten bout you two so you have nothing to worry bout he'll keep in touch. You two have been by his side throughout all the drama he deals with 24/7 being a lead singer in a band since he was like 6 or 7. I'm talking for him cause his throat is hurting and I don't want him to talk until it feels better."
Alvin looked and said.
"My throat is fine now. You can stop talking now! Of course I won't forget about you two. We've known each other even before the fame came and neither of you have changed toward me so you have nothing to worry about.. See you guys at graduation. Oh yea after the graduation ceremony my father and her step mother are throwing all 6 of us a graduation party. Umm Brittany can you excuse us for a second I'll meet you outside by Theo and your sister. Don't worry Jordin left you don't have to worry about her. Just go outside I'll be right out! Brittany please don't make me yell at you!"
She kissed him and headed outside and he sighed.
"Oh alright you two I am going to propose to Brittany as soon as I get my father and mother's blessing and of course Ms. Miller's. Promise me you two will not spill it to her the only brother I trust with that is my brother Theodore and you two. I'll tell Simon after I get their blessings. My luck if I tell him he'll go blab his mouth and get me in trouble like usual! He's really good at that!"
They both looked and said.
"Whoa aren't you too young to get married. I mean you're not even 18 that's' not normal."
He looked and said.
"I'm not normal remember I'm a chipmunk. My mother married our father when she was only 16."
They looked puzzled.
"Huh she married Dave?"
He shook his head.
"No our real father that got killed protecting us and my mother when we were just born. I seen him killed not Simon or Theodore. They have no idea. Just promise me you won't say a word to Brittany, her sisters, or my brother Simon. Oh and at graduation I'll give you two the invitations to the party. Have fun tonight boys I know I will!"
He exited the hall and they all got in the limo. The chauffer dropped off Alvin and Brittany at their house and he got his car. Then he drove toward the beach like he promised. As for Theo and Eleanor they decided to just go riding around for a bit until they went back to the room at the Signature Grand. As for Jeanette and Simon they were in the living room making out on his couch while they watched a romantic movie.
