Here you go :)

Chapter 11-

Alvin was crushed. He couldn't believe how stubborn Brittany could be at times. He had tried to convince her that Chase was a bad guy. He obviously wasn't a good influence. They were only teenagers, and he was already drinking and smoking, and hanging out with all kinds of weird guys. But that wasn't what was the worst part of it, it was the fact that he had lied to Brittany's face about it all. He told her he'd given it up, and she believed him!

He had never been more frustrated in his life.

They were best friends, but he was starting to believe Amelia, that he did like her... That he liked her more than a friend. Otherwise why would he be getting worked up over some girl? He was Alvin Seville, for crying out loud! Only Brittany wasn't some girl, he was her friend, yeah she drove him crazy but there was no one in this world that he wanted more than her. Only, this time, the girl Alvin wanted didn't want him back... Worse, she'd chosen some druggie over him. And she was being stubborn about it, not believing anything Alvin said about Chase, instead she insulted him and told him that he was being jealous.

Why couldn't she just open her mind up to the situation, and see that Alvin was the right one for her? That he was the one that had been right about Chase all along?

Still, with all the emotions that were running wild in his system, he couldn't help but wonder if he was overreacting.

He let out a groan, pressed his hands to the side of his head, and flopped back into his bed. His legs hung off the mattress, and each time he swung them they hit the ladder with a gentle thump.

He stared at the ceiling, and let the emotions overwhelm him.

Brittany still had a frown plastered on her face. She'd been frowning a lot lately, and she was starting to get worried that she'd get frown lines and wrinkles from all the stress.

But what was it exactly that she was stressed about?

She knew what was going on, but usually this type of thing didn't worry her. Sure, she'd obsessed over boys before, and she'd been lied to by many people, but that had never worried her as much as this was worrying her. Maybe it was just because it involved Alvin. But still, it was Alvin, they always had fights, what else was new?

She guessed that it was just because there was so much more feelings and emotions mixed up in this fight. But what feelings? What emotions? Each question that appeared in her mind just opened a door to more questions. She just wished she could shut them all out, and continue in her relationship with Chase - happy. And that Alvin and her would be friends again. She wished that everything would go back to normal.

But that was easier said than done.

"Brit?" Jeanette asked, her voice was nervous and quiet.

Brittany looked up at Jeanette. She couldn't find her voice, but her eyes seemed to say 'What?'

Jeanette fiddled with her fingers "Uh... You haven't spoken for five minutes, is everything okay...?"

Brittany's mind still felt fogged. She wanted to say 'Yeah, everything's fine' but she couldn't get it out. Instead, she gave a weak shrug and stood up. She shut her eyes tightly, feeling slightly dizzy. When she opened them, she realized everyone was looking at her. Their eyes showed so much focus - they were all focused on her, waiting for an answer. But she couldn't give them an answer right now. She needed to be alone, where she could think without everyone looking at her.

She turned her eyes away from everyone, and walked up the stairs. She climbed up onto her bed. She hardly even realized Alvin was there. She didn't care, he wasn't paying any attention to her anyway. He looked just as baffled as she did. She took a deep breath, and handled each question one at a time.

The feelings. What exactly were they? She'd never felt such strong feelings toward Alvin before. She didn't even know if they were good feelings or bad feelings. She felt a little scared when an answer popped into her head:

'Love'

No, that couldn't be it. She didn't love Alvin... Did she? Panic rose into her throat, and she seemed to choke on each breath she took as she realized that maybe she did love Alvin.

'No... No, no... This couldn't be what this is all about, could it? Alvin and I can't be in love... I never thought that would happen, we're best friends... Best friends aren't supposed to fall in love, are they?' her heart was beating fast. She could hear every beat ringing in her ears.

Did Alvin... Love her? Was that why he'd been acting so strange, and why he hated Chase so much? Was he scared that Chase would take her away from him? It all made sense now. That had to be the only answer - The main reason why this argument argument was so complicated was because they loved each other.

Her face dropped when she realized that Chase had already kind of taken her away from Alvin. He'd definitely ruined their relationship, that was for sure. She wondered if they'd ever be able to patch up the holes that Chase had left in their friendship.

Her eyes drifted over to Alvin's bed, which was directly opposite hers. She jumped when she saw him looking at her. He had such concentration on her face, like he was trying to pick up every detail about her... Trying to read her thoughts. Maybe he could read her thoughts. Maybe he was thinking the same things as her. She didn't know.

Their eyes met. They stayed locked for a while. This was possibly the longest connection they'd had in a while, and they weren't even talking. It was just looking deep into each others eyes, and trying to make sense of all this mess, trying to put the puzzle back together.

"Alvin" she suddenly found her voice again. She didn't even want to say anything, scared of the risk that it would ruin the moment, it had just slipped out.

"What?" he asked, voice raspy and quiet.

"We need to talk"

Well, there you go. To be honest, I don't think this chapter turned out too well... I just rambled on and on and on about emotions and feelings and stuff xD

Sorry if it was boring.

Let me know with a review ^^
