Thanks to my beta reader Scarlet Moon for living up the story.

"Simon...Simon wake up." Alvin whispered, gently shaking his brother while trying not to wake Brittany. "Simon."

"What?" Simon mumbled, lifting his head to look at the clock, arms still wrapped securely around the sleeping Brittany. "Damn Alvin it's 6:30 in the morning. What do you want?"

"We need to talk. Can we go to the office?"

Simon groaned, loosening his grip and rolling on to his back. He raised a hand to rub over his face. "I'll be there in a minute."

As Alvin quietly left the room and headed towards the office, Simon managed to slip out of bed without waking the sleeping Brittany who only mumbled quietly in her sleep and rolled over.

"What is so important that it couldn't wait for another two hours?" Simon yawned as he shut the office doors behind him.

Alvin turned around to face his brother, his bottom lip bit worriedly. "Charlene is still a part of the group."

"What?!" Simon hissed, eyes wide with any hints of sleep gone. "What do you mean she's still apart of the group?! Andrew told us we had nothing to worry about, that he took care of it."

"He did but Charlene was able to… She was able to convince him otherwise."

"Is Brittany signed on still?"

"No."

"Damn." Simon ran his fingers through his hair when suddenly getting an idea. "Do you still have those songs that you were going to use for yourself?"

Alvin raised an eyebrow. "Yes. Why?"

"Go over them and make sure that Brittany can sing them. Then call Andrew and have him write up a contract for her." Simon instructed, turning to leave the office.

"Then what?"

"We tell Brittany and find a way to bring Charlene down for good."

Of course at that point, I thought it would be easy….but…..I forgot who I was dating, which then reminded me that nothing was ever easy with her.

"No. No, no." Brittany said, shaking her head in obvious disagreement.

"Brittany, please. Before you tear my head off, just hear me out, kay?" Simon pleaded as Brittany rolled her eyes before nodding her head with a small sigh. "Okay, so you sign the contract, sing a couple songs, and become a lot more popular than Charlene, all the while giving her more reason to give up." He smiled, wrapping his arms around her from behind, trying to calm her.

"I do miss being popular." Brittany sighed, turning in his arms to face him.

Simon smiled, brushing her hair back. "You don't have to do this, but please….don't leave me alone with her. I might hurt her and you're the only one who can stop me." He teased.

"Not if I hurt her first." Brittany smirked as Alvin ran down the stairs only to slow.

Alvin chuckled. "Don't you hate when this happens?"

"What is he talking about?" Brittany asked, trying to turn around only for Simon to hold her in place.

"Don't turn around." Simon chuckled. "Although it is perfect blackmail material, just don't."

Brittany smirked. "Oh really now?"

Alvin's eyes widened. "NO!" he screamed.

"So it was his idea for you to take me out." Brittany said tugging on Simon's shirt.

"Which goes back to the question that is running through my mind right now; Why are you still here!? You're supposed to be gone." Alvin stressed.

"He's not wearing clothes." Brittany smiled. "And you won't let me blackmail him. Why?"

"Because I'm a nice big sibling and I like to do the torturing myself." He whispered.

Alvin groaned, turning to disappear from the embarrassment he had just caused himself. "I hate you all!" He called over his shoulder before mumbling to himself. "I seriously have no idea how I survived."

Brittany frowned as something occurred to her. "Didn't Jean go shopping?"

"Stop. Before you even think about going there, Jeanette told me he was still asleep…in that state." Simon laughed.

"Oh dear." Charlene stepped in, causing Simon's laughter to cease. "Who killed you?"

"You did apparently." Alvin reappeared, fiddling with his jeans.

"If I were you, I'd be more worried about your girlfriend than your brother." Charlene spat.

"What'd you do?" Brittany asked as Alvin pulled out his phone.

"You know, I'm actually surprised you trust him with your sister." Charlene said walking closer to Brittany.

"I have more trust in him then I do you, and believe me, that's saying a lot." Brittany bit, stopping inches from her face.

"Careful, wouldn't want to harm the baby." Charlene bitterly laughed before her smile turned into a smirk. "What are you….two…three weeks along now?" She mused, observing her nails.

"Where is my sister?" Brittany bit through clenched teeth.

Alvin spoke; redialing the number he had previously called numerous times. "She's not answering her cell."

Brittany turned on the, in her opinion, hideous wanna-be. "Charlene!" She raised her voice, clenching her fists. This time she meant business.

"Watch it Brittany. One phone call and your life could be over." Charlene threatened.

"With what possible information do you have against me that can do that?! What did I do to get you to hate me so much?"

Charlene just stared at Brittany. "You don't remember…"

"Remember what exactly?" Brittany asked only for Charlene to turn and start to walk away. Brittany's hand shot out and she caught her wrist in a vise wise grip. "What is all this about and where is my sister?"

Charlene yanked away from Brittany's bone breaking grip and glared at her with eyes filled with complete and absolute hatred. "Don't touch me." She bit, turning to walk out the door.

"Charlene, my sister- Charlene!" Brittany screamed before turning. "Alvin."

"It's ringing…Jean? Where are you? Are you okay?" Alvin looked at his phone. "Jeanette?! Damn." He said under his breath as threw his phone against the wall, causing Brittany to jump.

"What happened?" Simon asked standing behind Brittany.

"Either we lost signal or she hung up." Alvin sighed, running a hand through his hair as Brittany's phone went off.

"If it's anyone but Jeanette, I'm not here." Brittany sighed worriedly as she went into the kitchen.

It wasn't Jeanette… In fact it was from Andrew. Jeanette contacted him, he doesn't know much… She left. We don't know where went or why she left, but Brittany didn't take it very well….neither did Alvin. Talk about déjà vu… Honestly, I feel like that Jeanette is showing Britt what it was like when she left. The only difference is that Britt is pregnant…I'm going to be a father…

That isn't the only thing. Apparently, Britt and Charlene use to be childhood friends and something went down between them, tearing them apart. As to what happened, Britt doesn't remember.
