Chapter 20: The Big Argument
It was several days after Simon and Theodore's indoor camping night, and everyone was hanging out. Simon then turned to Theodore and asked him if he wanted to go do something fun with him.
"Sure Simon. Let's go!" Theodore answered before he and Simon jumped off the couch and started heading for the stairs.
"Oh yeah, just go have fun with Theodore and don't even bother caring about the rest of us!" Alvin said sarcastically. Both Simon and Theodore heard what Alvin and said, and turned to face him.
"Alvin, what are you talking about? Is there a problem?" Simon asked as he looked at his brother. Simon didn't think he was doing anything wrong.
"Yes there's a problem! Ever since the car accident, and going to the mall, you've been hanging out with Theodore way too often!" Alvin retorted. Simon gave Alvin a look of annoyance as he replied: "So, you're saying that me having quality time with Theodore is a bad thing?!"
"No. I'm just saying that you don't let the rest of us have as much quality time with Theodore! You're constantly excluding us!" Alvin said loudly, now starting to yell. Simon was taken aback by what Alvin said, and started getting defensive.
"Excuse me?! I'm just trying to follow the doctor's orders that he gave me since the accident! I've been hanging out with Theodore so I could try and get my memory back, and be his friend!" Simon retorted back. Every word he said was true, and Alvin was aware of Simon's situation. Why was Alvin acting like such a jerk?
"Yes and how has that been working out for you?" Alvin asked loudly, letting Simon think for a minute.
"It's been slow. But I've still been able to be Theodore's friend! He's kind, innocent, playful, helpful, caring and a good friend!" Simon shouted back at his brother.
"Yes he is. But has he ever told you that he eats like there's no tomorrow, or that he can make necklaces out of pasta?!" Alvin yelled with a smirk on his face.
"Alvin!" Theodore shouted, giving Alvin an angry look. Theodore was made that he mentioned those things. Especially since Simon's memory was still slow on remembering.
"No. Theodore didn't say anything to me like that. Then again, it's his choice to tell me those facts; I'm not going to force him to do that!" Simon responded loudly.
"That's exactly my point! All you can do is call Theodore your 'friend' and remember his name. Otherwise, everything about him is a blur to you! You can't even remember one thing about Theodore!"' Alvin yelled.
"That's because I got in an accident saving his life! Not to mention that my brain is taking a long time to remember different things!" Simon shouted, defending himself.
"Yeah well, maybe if you were a little more aware of how the rest of us feel, then maybe you wouldn't be so attached to him! You're such a Theodore hogger, Simon!" Alvin shouted as everybody but him gasped. Alvin quickly realized what he had said, and realized it was too late.
"Well then, if I'm such a nuisance to you, then maybe perhaps I'll just leave you alone!" Simon replied softly as his eyes started to water. With that said, Simon ran out of the living room, and up the stairs while crying. Theodore ran after Simon up the stairs.
"Simon! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-" Alvin began to apologize, but both of his brothers were already gone.
"ALVIN!" Dave yelled as Alvin, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor all turned to face him. Dave had a very disappointed look on his face as he stared at Alvin. The chipmunk looked at his adoptive father in fear; the chipmunk knew he was in trouble.
