Brittany's POV

Charlene. My cousin. The one who is going out with Alvin is just a few feet away from him and I looking heartbroken and upset. Her body was limp and she looked at us with dull lifeless eyes.

I felt my heart beating so fast and I felt tears forming in my eyes. But I tried everything I could to keep them in. Damn it. She must really hate me now.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked again sobbing as tears came out of her eyes.

"Ch-Charlene. I-I can explain." Alvin told her weakly.

"PLEASE DO! AND DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO ME ALVIN! JUST TELL ME THE %$# ING TRUTH!" She yelled so loudly as tears spilled out of her eyes uncontrollably.

I was slightly afraid of her. She looked so scary when she was mad. And I wasn't any better. I would be yelling at him if I was in the same position as her.

I turned to Alvin. He looked afraid of her too. Maybe even more. "Listen. Charlene, I...I'm sorry. It's just that-" He was cut off by her which made him seem somewhat annoyed.

"DON'T APOLOGIZE TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU DON'T REGRET IT! DO YOU? YOU HAVE BEEN SEEING MY OWN COUSIN BEHIND MY BACK AND THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER FIND OUT! ISN'T THAT RIGHT ALVIN?" She looked like she was going to murder Alvin.

I heard him breathing uneasily and he looked terrified for his own life. "Yes but...Charlene I, I-" And once again he was cut off. I felt him get angry and I took a few steps away from him just to be safe.

"BUT WHY ALVIN? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST CAME AND EXPLAINED HOW YOU FEEL TO ME? WHY THE %$# WOULD YOU JUST HIDE EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME? DID YOU EXPECT ME TO FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF? BECAUSE I ONLY FOUND OUT YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME JUST NOW!" She yelled at him.

That seemed it for Alvin. He looked extremely pissed off and angry. "DO YOU THINK I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN? BECAUSE I DIDN'T. WHEN I REALIZED MY FEELINGS FOR YOU VANISHED I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO TELL YOU! I LOVE BRITTANY NOW! ALRIGHT? I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU BECAUSE I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD BE UPSET NO MATTER WHAT I SAY!" He snapped at Charlene looking at her really frustratingly.

Charlene just looked at him. She looked down on the ground as tears streaked down her face. "A-Alvin, you should have told me anyway. Sure I would be upset but I would have understood." She looked back at his face giving him a death glare. "But now that I found out by myself words can't describe how much I hate you." She seethed at him.

"Charlene, it's not like I didn't want to tell you. I did. I was just waiting for the right time." He explained to her softly. He looked upset himself.

She kept glaring at him. "And when would the right time be Alvin? A month later? A few months later? A year later? A few years later?" Her anger seemed to have gotten the better of her.

Alvin just looked down on the floor looking miserable. "I-I don't know. But I'm sorry. I'm still sorry. I feel so bad and upset that I didn't tell you before. But I'm still so sorry." He whispered to her. I swore I saw tears in his eyes. But I guess he was trying to hold them in.

Charlene shook her head. "It's a bit too little too late Alvin. Don't you think?" She sighed then her gaze flickered to me.

By now I had tears strolling down my eyes and was sobbing quietly. I was pretty shaken up too because of how much guilt and anger I felt for myself.

"And what about you? How could you do this to me? Why would you do this to me? I'm your cousin Britt. Doesn't the word 'cousin' mean anything to you?" She asked me feeling upset but seemed as if her tears have ran out.

"I-I'm sorry Charlene. O-Of course it does. But-" I was suddenly cut off by her.

"But nothing. If I hadn't have saw you both locked in each other's embrace and kissing you would still be doing it whether I knew about it or not." She snapped at me.

"I-I know. And I'm sorry but-" And once again I was cut off.

"You know what Brittany, if you got hurt by your own boyfriend then that would result to you having a broken heart and feeling pain all the time. But do you know what I regret? Sending you to Los Angeles in the first place!" She told me.

That really hurt me. As if I got hit by a fast train that didn't stop running along the tracks. Just like Charlene yelling at me and just wouldn't stop.

Tears were just coming down my face non-stop. I was feeling guilt, I was feeling upset. And I was feeling ashamed of myself.

"Well, you know what, fine. Continue to date. I wouldn't even care anymore that you betrayed me. But just remember, I hate you Alvin and as for you Brittany...YOU ARE THE WORST COUSIN I EVER HAD!" She looked at me through teary dry eyes.

That just broke me. I started sobbing. I looked at Alvin, he looked not only upset but he was full of regret and anger.

Charlene turned away and started running back into the house as I saw new fresh tears come down her face. Making me feel so upset, angry and regretful.

Alvin looked up and saw Charlene go back into the house as he turned to look at me. I wore a painful expression as he had a regretful expression on his face.

"Brittany..." He softly said. "I'm so sorry about this. I didn't mean-" I cut him off.

"No. Don't be sorry. It wasn't your fault, it was mine." I told him.

"What? No. Brittany, Charlene was my girlfriend and I had cheated on her." He told me.

I looked at him. "I know, but if I hadn't have came to L.A. and stayed then you wouldn't have had any feelings for me and I wouldn't have fell for you." I whispered to him.

"But Brittany, I'm glad that I did meet you. You made me fall in love with you because of your personality and...you are so beautiful Brittany. Not hot, but beautiful. I just love everything about you. You are everything I ever wanted." He told me.

"But what about Charlene? You were with her for two years. You loved her. And you still would have if you hadn't have met me." I whispered to him. It hurts me to think all this happened because of me.

"But Brittany, I'm glad I did. I-" I cut him off.

"No Alvin. What we did was wrong. You know that. And if I was still with you knowing what we did to Charlene hurt her then she would never forgive me." I told him. It really did hurt me while I was saying this.

"Brittany. What are you suggesting?" He looked at me with wide terrified eyes. He almost seemed like he was pleading me or hoping I wouldn't say what I was about to say.

I sighed and closed my eyes before looking at him. "I think we should break up." I told him.

His face paled like all the blood inside him turned cold and he looked ghostly white. He looked at me like he got hit in the stomach.

"What?" He barely whispered.

"I-I said...I think we should-" I tried telling him again but got cut off by him.

"I heard." He quickly told me and closed his eyes looking like he was in pain.

"I-I'm sorry Alvin. But until everything goes back to normal between Charlene and I...I can't risk hurting her more than she already is." I explained to him.

He nodded his head. "But once everything goes back to normal then...we can be together again?" His eyes looked at me in hope I'll say yes.

I smiled and nodded my head. "Yes."

He smiled back. "Good."

"So...I'll see you later Alvin." I smiled once more at him as I turned to leave.

"I love you." He told me.

I stopped walking and smiled. I turned to face him. "I love you too."

I continued walking back into the house. I stopped to look at him and he looked back at me smiling weakly at me.

I smiled back then walked into the house closing the door behind me. But not unlocking it. Alvin still needs to come in.

I sighed. I felt so bad now. Not only does my cousin hate me but because she does I had to break up with Alvin. Well, at least he took it better than I thought. But now I just want everything to return to the way it is so Alvin and I can be together again.

NO! Alvin and Brittany broke up and Charlene hates them now. I wonder how things will return to normal again. Review.
