Here you go. The scene of the prom, so it will have some songfic in it.
I'll write the names of the songs in the A/N at the bottom of the page.
Sorry if it's horribly cheesy xD
"Brit, you look beautiful" said Jeanette with a smile.
Brittany admired herself in the mirror. She was wearing a beautiful light pink dress, with some nice shoes to match. Her hair was done up in a bun and had a flower in it, that matched the dress. She smiled at herself.
"I do look nice, don't I?" she joked.
Eleanor giggled, and lay down on her bed "Yeah, you do"
"It's a shame you girls aren't coming... We could have had a really fun night" Brittany looked a little sad "Ah well, Chase will be there, and some of my other friends" she paused "And Alvin, too"
"It's okay Brit, you'll still have a good night without us" said Jeanette "Eleanor and Theodore are going to watch Meerkat Manor, and Simon and I are going to work on our project, so it's not like we'll be bored or anything"
Brittany caught her eye in the mirror. She smiled at herself 'I really do look beautiful'
"Okay. Well anyways, I'm going to go downstairs and wait for Alvin, because we're gonna drive down together. I'll see you girls later" she smiled, and walked downstairs.
There was a knock at the door.
'That must be Alvin' Brittany thought. She opened the door for him.
Alvin smiled at her, "Hey"
He was wearing a neat black tuxedo, and a bowtie. He had a rose in his pocket, which he was planning to give to Amelia when he saw her. His hair was neatly combed back. Brittany had to admit, he looked really cute. She found herself smiling at him.
"What?" he said, an amused crooked smile on his face.
"Oh" she blinked "Nothing. We should probably go, we don't wanna be late"
They got into Dave's care, and he drove them down to the school, where the prom would be held.
"I'll pick you guys up at 10, I don't want you to be late. Understand?" he asked.
"We understand Dave" Alvin said "Don't worry"
"See you at 10, Dave" Brittany shut the car door, and he drove off.
Alvin looked Brittany up and down "You look really nice"
Brittany blushed a little bit "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself"
"Listen... Brit, I'm sorry about the other day... I was just in a bad mood" he shrugged.
She smiled, and rested her hand on his shoulder "That's okay, Al"
He smiled back at her, and put his arm around her briefly. They walked up to the door, where Chase and Amelia were going to meet them. They found themselves looking into each others eyes. Alvin didn't know what would have happened if Chase hadn't interrupted at that very moment.
"Hey, Brit!" Chase smiled. He took her hand "Come on, let's go inside"
Alvin looked at Chase with a blank expression. Chase nodded at him and smiled "How are you?"
Alvin shrugged, and Chase walked inside with Brittany holding his hand.
'What an ass' Alvin sighed. He'd almost forgotten that he wasn't actually going to the prom with Brittany. He felt a little sheepish.
He sighed, and leaned against the wall of the building. He looked up at the stars, and thought about nothing.
"Alvin" Amelia smiled, making him jump.
He laughed "Jesus, Amelia, you have to stop scaring me like that!"
She grinned "Sorry"
Alvin took a moment to look at her. She was wearing a green dress. It was like the colour of her eyes, but lighter. Her hair was pinned back a little from her face, but it still fell over her shoulders the same way.
"Alvin, you're staring" she said, in amusement.
"Hm? Oh" he said "Sorry. You look nice"
"That's alright, you look nice too" she poked out her tongue playfully, and linked her arm in his.
He smiled, and walked inside with her.
'The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.'
Amelia was in Alvin's arms. They were doing a slow waltz to the music, occasionally singing along. Alvin had to admit, he was having fun, and he felt comfortable with Amelia, but the thought of Brittany constantly lingered at the back of his mind. He couldn't get her out of his head. His eyes kept wandering from Amelia, to the middle of the room, where Chase was holding Brittany close. A little too close for his liking.
"Alvin, are you alright?" she asked "You seem distracted"
He looked back at her beautiful eyes "No, it's nothing... I'll be alright"
"You're thinking about Brittany, aren't ya?"
"Oh my God" he chuckled "Is there anything you don't know?"
She smiled "It's okay. I understand"
"What do you understand?" Alvin said, a little confused.
"It's okay. I know you like Brittany"
Alvin felt a little shaken up "Excuse me? I don't even know I like Brittany" he laughed "How do you know?"
She smiled at him "You just do. I can tell. You may not realize it now, but you will later on, trust me"
"I do trust you" he laughed again "Because you know everything"
She laughed. But that happiness didn't last too long.
"Yeah, but even if I do like her... By the time I figure it out, it'll be too late" he jerked his head toward Chase and Brittany "Look at them. They've only known each other for a week"
Amelia nodded. She wasn't going to deny that Alvin had missed his chance.
'I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above...'
'...How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love
Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love'
Alvin looked over at Brittany. This was a faster song, so they weren't dancing as close together as the slow songs. Brittany gave Alvin a small wave, and smiled, but Chase spun her out of his sight, so they were behind the crowd.
'So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love
Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love
These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no
Come on, Come on
Move a little closer'
Chase moved Brittany closer to him. Alvin wrinkled his nose in disgust. He was being so cheesy.
"Alvin" Amelia sad "Stop worrying about her. Things will work out one day"
She looked him in the eye "This is your night. Stop stressing over Brittany and Chase. Please, for me?"
He forced a smile "You're right... Sorry, I'll try and stop"
Amelia held him a little closer and turned him around so they weren't facing Brittany. He tried to act like he didn't care, but it was killing him that he couldn't see what was happening. Who knew what they were doing now?
'Please, don't let me argue anymore
I won't make you worry like before
Can't remember what we fought about
Late, late last night we said, "It was over"
But I remember when we thought it out
We both had a broken heart
Whoa, baby, kiss me, baby
Whoa, baby, love to hold you'
Alvin watched Chase and Brittany dancing. He couldn't take his eyes off them. He felt like he was a worried father, wanting to know everything that was happening on his daughters first date. He was obsessing over it. He didn't understand why.
'They're ruining my night...' he thought to himself.
'Whoa, baby, kiss me, baby
Whoa, baby, love to hold you'
And he watched in pure horror as Chase leaned in and kissed Brittany. His heart throbbed. It ached. That could not have just happened. He refused to believe that Chase had just kissed Brittany. He looked away, and shut his eyes tightly, trying to forget what he had just seen. The image was burned into his brain. Chase had put his hand on her chin, leaned in, and kissed her. Just like that.
"Ouch" Amelia winced "That one must have hurt"
He nodded, letting out a sigh. His voice was a little shaky.
"Yeah" he cleared his throat, but his voice still continued to waver "Yeah, it hurt"
'As I drove away I felt a tear
It hit me, I was losing someone dear
Told my folks, "I would be alright"
Tossed and I turned my head was so heavy
Then I wondered as it got light
Were you still awake like me?...'
The rest of the night was a blur. His head swirled. The music rang in Alvin's ears. He tried to shut Brittany and Chase out, but he couldn't.
The kiss played over and over in his head like a bad song.
Well. There you go. Hope it wasn't too terrible.
Expect Chapter 8 soon :)
Let me know if you're enjoying the story with a review.
...
The songs used, in order, we're:
1. I'll Be - Edwin McCain (in the scene where Alvin and Amelia were talking the most, and doing the waltz)
2. Accidentally In Love - Counting Crows (the "faster song")
3. Kiss Me Baby - The Beach Boys (an old song, the scene where Chase kissed Brittany)
