Chapter Six – Settling in
Alvin's POV
I was on the stage on my own. The crowd was watching my every move. Wait. Is that my parents in the front row? Maybe I could perform their favourite song for them. Maybe they would like that.
I walked up to the mike and start to sing as the music started.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone...
The Crowd cheered and I can see my parents smiling.
(End Dream)
I woke up on the chair. I given Rose my bed for the night. Simon and Theodore said they were okay with the lies as long as I have no more secrets. Me and Brittany are going out on a date in five days. Could be fun. I looked at the time and saw that it was 9 Am. I walked into the Kitchen and saw Theodore eating cookies.
"Hey Theo, how are you?" I said as I walked over to the table.
"I just can't sleep. I still can't believe I have a sister." He said.
"Theo, it will take time to get use to it, But there will be time." I told him. At the same time, Rose walked in.
"Hey guys, what's happening?" She asked as she joined.
"Just having a chat." Me and Theo responded.
"Okay then, I'm about to make breakfast. Want to help?" she asked.
Theodore brighten up and in five minutes. He and Rose were cooking and the food smelled heavenly. I started to eat what they produced and it all tasted delicious.
No one POV
Half an hour later
Everyone else came in and it came into idle chatter. At least until Brittany asked
"So Rose, are you a good singer like your brothers?"
Rose smiled as she replied "I could be better than you." The atmosphere in the kitchen turns from cheerful to tense. Brittany looks stunned by Rose response before asking
"Was that a challenge?" she smiled because she thought that Rose wouldn't attempt to do that.
"Oh yes, girl. I may be new here but I could sing better than you all day long." Said Rose, smiling at Brittany's reaction
"That's it. You and Me. Sing off. Right here. Right Now" Brittany thundered.
"I'll let you go first." Said Rose. "Oh Crap" thought Alvin as Brittany start to sing as the music started to play
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end

Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)
These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other

Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever

Brittany smiled as she finished. As Rose stepped forward. Alvin whispered in his brothers' ear. "Brittany might get knock off her high horse here because Rose can sing." Before his Brothers could ask him what he means, Rose starts to sing and stunned everyone in the room apart from Alvin.
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
As Rose looked over at Brittany. Brittany stood with her sisters and all of them had their mouths wide open. "So who the best. Brittany?"
"It was a draw. "Said Brittany before running off with her sisters in tow.
"Hey Rose. Why don't you sing on stage with us sometime?" asked Simon and he and her brothers congratulated her.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Sure, you will be fine." Said Alvin
And that the end for this Chapter
The next chapter will the last because I have a better idea that still involves Rose.
