Simon and Theodore had a hard time getting home but, they made it. The blue clad was still limping but he was now taking care of the cuts and bruises he and his little brother had. "Hold still Theo" said Simon as he held a cotton ball pressing it against Theodore's chest. Both boys were shirtless because they had to see where the damage was done. "OOOOUUCH" Theodore moaned in pain as he felt the soft ball touching him. "There, I cleaned all of the blood off" said Simon before pouring some peroxide water on of the balls. He then presses it against his little brothers chest were there was cut. "OOOOOOUUUCH" Theodore felt a sharp sting making him close his eyes tightly. "Theodore don't move because it will sting even more" said Simon before using some paper towel and uses it to wipe some blood off his leg.
After taking care of the cuts and bruises they had, they went to their room. Theodore was no longer feeling pain but, he was having a hard time laying down. Simon on the other hand was in pain but, he managed to stop his leg from bleeding even more. Now both boys were worried about the others finding out what happened. "What are we going to tell Dave and Alvin when they see us?" asked Theodore who was in their room looking at his pet gold fish in its little aquarium, that Dave bought him for christmas. Simon was reading a book and tells his brother "I don't know, but we have to come up with an explanation for our appearance" both brothers had most of the cuts and bruises below their necks which was covered by their clothes but, Simon had bruise on his cheek bone and had a black eye while Theodore had cut close to his right eye and a bruise on his jaw.
"Why don't we tell them that Armando and his brothers attacked us?" asked Theodore. Simon immediately drops his book before saying "we can't do that because, we might put my girlfriend in danger and the others as well" Simon was beginning to understand what Theodore is going through and why he left in the morning so early. However, there was something else in his mind that was bothering him. He remembered what Henry told him back at the school. "Listen to me loser, don't you ever put your hands on any of my brothers again because if you do, I'll kill you, this fat boy and your older brother named Alvin and while you all are dead, I'll be having that sexy chick of yours, all to my self, just like yesterday" Simon was wondering what Henry meant by the last part that he told Simon. "I'll be having that sexy chick of yours all to my self just like yesterday" that last part kept coming back in his mind.
All of a sudden, he starts to put the all pieces together, starting when Jeanette came home late, her acting not acting like herself, and her looking depressed. Simon started to get a sick feeling in his stomach but then, he remembers something else that Henry told him. "let's just say that, she doesn't love you anymore and she loves me instead" Simon started to think there was a possibility that, Jeanette could be in love with Henry because, he was convinced that she did hang out with him a lot and that she does trust him. "Maybe, Jeanette is tired of being with me" "maybe she wants a boyfriend who deserves her" "maybe, she does have a thing for Henry" Simon was confused. He didn't know if he should believe Henry or not. "I'm just going to have to talk to Jean" he told himself before getting out of bed.
Theodore notices him leaving so he asked "where are you going?" Simon stops on his tracks and says "I'm going to get a snack from kitchen. You want anything?" Theodore puts a finger to his chin before saying "um make me an ice cream with a cone" Simon nods and was about to head out if he didn't remembered something. "Hey Theo" he calls. "Yeah" replied Theodore. "Um sorry for you know, about this morning. I didn't mean to try to force you to tell Dave. I just didn't think that the situation between you and Justin is this bad" Theodore smiles and gladly tells him "I forgive you but, you know sooner or later Dave and Alvin will find out" Simon chuckles nervously and says "I don't even want to imagine how upset Dave will be for us not telling him but, I rather see him upset at us than Alvin. If our older brother finds out what happened today, I can't imagine how furious he will be at the Marley brothers. Alvin can't know about what happened because, he's crazy and will do things without thinking of the consequences" Theodore nods as he starts to think about Alvin and what he was doing right now.
Meanwhile back at the school, lunch was about to end. Jeanette and Eleanor were unhappy to know that Simon and Theodore went home early because, they wanted to see them. Brittany noticed the look on her sisters faces so she tries to cheer them up but, wasn't working. "Jeanette, are you sure Simon sent you a text saying that he left with Theodore?" asked Alvin before putting his food to the side. Jeanette was the only one not talking and when she heard his question, she nods. "Oh okay, did he let you know why though?" asked Alvin. He was concerned for his brothers because, he knew that Simon and Theodore never skip any of their classes. Jeanette shakes her head in response for his question.
Alvin noticed that Jeanette was not talking and so did her sisters. Alvin wasn't really close to Jeanette, he nearly talked to her but, one thing that he liked about her was her shyness. He could tell that Jeanette and Simon meant to be for each other. Alvin was starting to get worried for the girl so he questions her "Jeanette are you alright" her two sisters turn to look at her before she nods. Alvin was about to ask something else but then, he noticed that Henry, who was sitting next to Jeanette, had his hand grabbing her arm. Alvin could see that Jeanette had an uncomfortable look on her face which worries him.
He then started to wonder, how Jeanette's sisters did not notice Henry holding her arm. Alvin gets his answer when he notices Henry's jacket on the table which was blocking the view of his hand holding her arm. Alvin comes up with an Idea so he questions her "Jeanette, could we switch seats?" the question surprises everyone in the table. Brittany who was a bit hurt asked him "Alvin, why do you want to switch seats with my sister? don't you like sitting next to me?" But Alvin doesn't answer her. Instead he kept glaring at Henry who noticed Alvin's eyes were on him. Before Jeanette could answer his question, Henry whispers something to her ear which Alvin noticed. "Um, sorry but no, I love sitting here" she lied. Alvin had a feeling that something was wrong with her so, he questions her "do you-" the bell rang letting everyone know that it was time for the last class of the day. This irritates Alvin but, decides to talk to her later after school.
Later after school
Everyone was outside except for Jeanette which was unusual of her. "Ugh why is she taking so long?" asked Brittany before looking at the time in her phone. Eleanor who was sitting in in the school steps, says "calm down Britt, maybe she's just talking with one of her teachers" both girls weren't that worried for their sister but, Alvin wasn't calm like they were. He was worried for the girl so, he decides to go see what is taking her so long. "Um Britt, Ellie you two could go home without me because, I'm going to look for her" said Alvin before he starting to walk on the steps but, Brittany stops him. "Wait, I'm not leaving without you so, I'm going to wait for you here" Alvin gives her a small smile before looking at Eleanor. "I'll wait here to" she said.
Alvin thanks them before heading back inside the school. Alvin didn't know what Jeanette's last class was but, he wasn't going to give up looking for her. As he was walking by the cafeteria, he sees one of his teachers talking to another teacher. Alvin approaches him and says "um excuse me Mr. Bill" The teacher looks at him before telling the other teacher to give him a minute. "Yes Alvin what is it?" He asked. Alvin tells him "have you seen Jeanette?" The teacher gave him a puzzled look before saying "um in the morning but, not around at this time" Alvin was disappointed to hear that but, he still thanks him before he continues his search.
After ten minutes of searching, Alvin passes by one of Jeanette's teachers who was stapling papers on the wall next to his class room. "Um hi, have you seen Jeanette Miller?" he asked. The teacher who's name is Mr. Chester tells him, "um actually yes, I saw her walking with another guy. I think they were heading towards the stairs for either the second or third floor" this makes Alvin worry even more. "Oh okay thank you" he said before running to the stairs. He opens the door and goes in. He checks every corner for her but doesn't find her. Alvin makes his way to the second floor but then he hears whispering. Alvin stops moving and tries to figure out where it was coming from. He takes gentle steps trying not to make any noise.
Once he gets to the second floor, he looks around and sees some shadows moving behind a vending machine. Alvin quietly approaches it and he realizes that the whispering was getting louder as he got closer. "Come on, give me some real quick" "No I don't want to so please let me go" "Jeanette, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way" "I said no" "oh yes you do want to, and your body wants me as well" "I SAID NO" fine i guess you're choosing the hard" Alvin heard enough and crashes the party.
"WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE?" Alvin shouted as he caught a glimpse of Henry holding Jeanette's waist while having her against the wall as she tried to get free. The two were startled by Alvin coming out of nowhere. Henry removes his hands around her waist before giving Alvin a death glare. Jeanette looks at the red clad and gives him both a nervous and thankful look. "Nothing we were just chatting like good friends, ain't that right Jeanette?" Replied Henry before giving a false smile. Jeanette who was was trying to not to shake, says "uh yeah, Henry's right we were just chatting like good friends" Alvin notices the jockey on Jeanette's neck. He places his hands on his hips and says "uh huh, anyway we have to get going Jeanette. Your sisters are waiting for us outside, let's go" Alvin places his arm around her shoulders as they make their way outside. Alvin looks behind and gives a look at Henry saying "you're toast" as they kept walking.
When they finally got outside, they see Brittany and Eleanor laying down on the school steps, using their purses to cover their faces from the sun shining at their eyes. Before the two approach them, Alvin stops walking and tells "Jean, what was going on back there?" the girl nervously tells him "uh nothing we were just, chatting" Alvin gives her an irritated look and says "Jean, I'm not stupid, I saw how he had you against the wall while trying to kiss you" Jeanette opens her mouth but no words come out. She knew that someone sooner or later someone was going to see what she was dealing with. "I uh um" Jeanette just couldn't hold her tears anymore and breaks down as she buried her face on Alvin's chest. The red clad rubs her back gently as she was shaking violently.
"Ugh it's about time-" "What's wrong Jean?" asked Brittany as she and Eleanor approached the two. At first, Brittany didn't notice that something wasn't right about Jeanette but, when she sees her shaking as Alvin held her, she began to worry. "Jean please tell us what's wrong" said Eleanor before touching her sisters hair. Jeanette looks up at Alvin and gives him a look. Somehow Alvin understood what she wanted to tell him. He knew that Jeanette didn't want any of her sisters finding out what he saw back there. "Um she isn't feeling good" lied Alvin. Brittany and Eleanor look at each other before looking back at their sister. "Jeanette, is that truth?" asked Brittany very concerned. Jeanette lifts her face from Alvin's chest and nods.
Alvin slowly let's go of her as she looked at her sisters. "Um I'm starting to feel better now, let's go" said Jeanette before grabbing both her sisters hands. The walk back home was quiet. None of them thought that Jeanette was just faking being sick however, Alvin was the only one who knew why she was acting like that. Minutes later, Alvin accompanied them to their home and just as he was about to leave, Jeanette runs to him. "Alvin" she calls him. Alvin looks behind to see her approaching him. "What's up?" he asked. Jeanette places hand at the back of her neck and says "please, don't tell anyone what you saw. Especially Simon" Alvin was shocked to hear that and says "but why, this is something serious Jeanette, that bald headed freak could've raped you, if I hadn't shown up" Jeanette who felt embarrassed talking about her situation, tells him "Alvin, please don't tell anyone. PELASE, PLEASE, IM BEGGING YOU, PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE" it broke Alvin's heart so see his brothers girlfriend suffering so, to make her fell better he tells her "okay I won't tell anyone but, I will keep an eye on Henry though" she gives him another thankful look before hugging him. "Thanks" she said before heading inside her home. Alvin heads to his home as so many things were on his mind. "Poor Jeanette, I want to help you but you're not letting me" "and it tortures my heart to see you suffer" I know that we don't usually talk but, you're my girlfriends sister and I will protect you just like I protect Brittany" "right now I would do anything to see that clumsy girl, with her shy smile, that felt in love with my brother"
