Thanks for reviewing! Sorry for the long wait, and to make up for it, you get a longer chapter! Yay for you! R&R!
Theo kept running all the way home, tears streaming down his cheeks. "How could she do this?" He cried to himself. He was reminded of a song he heard once. Jar of Hearts. The green clad slowed his pace. "Who do you think you are...?" But the saddened chipmunk was too depressed to sing. He slowly hummed the tune as he continued to walk home.
Simon laid in bed, thinking about what had just happened. "What could I possibly have done to put her in such an angered state?" He sobbed into his hands. "I just want my sweet angel back..." He stopped crying suddenly and sat up. "Wait...no. We're just friends...right?" Now that he'd stopped to think about it, he realized he felt something he couldn't explain every time Jeanette was around. His eyes grew wide. "Could it be...love?" His cell phone started to ring. He checked the Caller ID. It was Jeanette. "Oh, no. Is she calling to yell at me again?" Reluctantly, he picked up his phone.
"...Hello?" "Oh, Simon! I'm so frikin' sorry!" Wailed the purple-clad chipette. "I had no right to yell at you like that! I truly am sorry, and if I were you, I'd ignore me for the rest of my life." "Jeanette, calm down! It's okay." "No, it isn't! I just yelled at the love of my life over nothing!" Simon froze. What did she say? "Um, excuse me?" Simon's face was pink. Was she really crushing on him? "Oh! I'm sorry! I totally didn't mean to-" Simon cut her off. "Jeanette...?" he started slowly. "...Yes, Simon?" "I love you." Jeanette froze. Did she seriously just hear that? "...Jeanette?" Out of pure joy, Jeanette started screaming. She was so loud, Simon had to hold the phone arm's length from his ear. "SIMON! I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!" Tears of joy were flowing from her eyes. Simon really loved her back! "Do you mind if I come over to visit?" she asked. "Get over here as fast as your cute little legs can carry you!" Jeanette squealed as she hung up. She started running like only chipmunks can, into the street, to Simon's house.
As the purple-clad sprinted across the road, she spotted a chipmunk in a green outfit. She slowed down. "What's Theodore doing out here...?" she whispered to herself. "He seems rather depressed...I'll go talk to him." She walked over to the green-clad chipmunk. "Theodore, what's wrong?" The cute chipmunk met Jeanette's eyes. "Alvin stole Ellie from me!" he cried. "Whatever gave you that idea?" questioned Jeanette. "I went over to see if Ellie wanted to cook with me, and when I opened the door, I saw her hugging Alvin in the corner of the living room!" "Aw, Theo...I'm so sorry..." She put an arm around him. "I'll walk you home, okay?" "Okay." Theodore sniffled.
Eleanor looked on as her green-clad counterpart ran away. "Poor Theo..." "I'm calling the hospital," announced Alvin. Eleanor sighed as she closed the door. "Okay...WAIT!" Alvin stopped. "That's how Brittany got sent there! The phone!" Alvin sat down again. "Oh...right. Why is it that only Simon and Jeanette have cell phones? " Then they both heard an ear-splitting scream. "Oh no!" Eleanor cried, "Not Jeanette too!" The two raced up the stairs to Jeanette's room. "I'll check on her," Alvin offered. He slid his head under the door and saw Jeanette on her cell phone. He slid back. "Did she get electrocuted too?" Alvin rolled his eyes and replied simply, "Phone call." They both waited patiently outside her room. When the call was finished, Jeanette hurried out of her room. "Hey, Jean, can we borrow your cell phone?" Eleanor requested. "What? Oh, yeah, sure. Here you go." The purple clad chipette quickly handed them her cell phone and raced down the stairs. Alvin swiped the phone from Eleanor. "NOW I'm going to call the hospital," said Alvin, as he left to find some privacy to do so.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WAIT TWO DAYS?" Alvin cried into the cell phone's speaker. "Look, sir, I'm really sorry, but she won't be in any condition for visitors until two days from now," the receptionist's voice said. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! THIS IS MY BEST FRIEND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!" "Sorry sir, Doctor's orders. You can come by in two days at 8:00 PM." "WHAT? THAT'S ALMOST THREE DAYS! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" "Sir, there's nothing I can do about it. Any questions?" "YES! WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?" Alvin hung up and gritted his teeth. "Eleanor...toss me a pillow..." She did so, though unsure why Alvin needed a pillow. Alvin slammed himself onto it and screamed loudly. "Um, Alvin?" Eleanor began softly, "Do you think maybe you're overreacting?"
