I don't own AATC! It belongs to it's rightful owners!
"ALVINNNN!" Brittany screamed in terror. Alvin hearing this from his bedroom flinches. Simon and Theodore look at him sighing accusing him "What did you do now?" Alvin puts his hands up wincing but defensive. "Nothing! I didn't do anything this time, trust me."
Then he turns his head towards the window. "Though she did sound terrified when she yelled my name…" Theodore turns to Simon quietly while he thinks "Hmm… Do you have any idea why?" Alvin looked back to Simon shaking his head frowning "Ah-no…"
Then he got off his bed and walks towards the window. "Why don't I go and check on her? Who knows, it might be important." Just then, Brittany zip-lines into the room and dashes towards him. "Or maybe not… Brit-oof!" He stops talking and flinches when Brittany wraps her arms around him in a tight hug.
He then relaxes when he finally realized that she was crying her eyes out. He frowns and wraps his arms around her with worry. "Brittany? Are you okay? What's wrong?" She doesn't answer him which makes him tighten the hug a little bit more.
Simon and Theodore look at each other then climb off their beds and walk towards them. Simon sighs "Brittany? Could you tell us what's wrong so we could try and help?" She slowly moves her head back and looks at Alvin's worried and confused face then at Simon and Theodore's concerned look.
Then her face grew soft and she turned back to Alvin and slammed her face back onto his chest bawling her eyes out squeezing him a bit more. Alvin grimaced sarcastically turning his head to Simon. "Yeah… That totally worked Simon."
He sighs ignoring the sarcasm "I was just trying to help Alvin" "I know, thanks" Then he turns his head back to Brittany who started to sniff. "Brittany?" She looks at him with tear-stained eyes. "You okay?" She lets go of him and shrugs "Kind of…" He blinks and frowns "Kind of? What made you this upset? Did I do something?"
She shakes her head "NO! You didn't do anything! It's just… I've been having these horrendous nightmares lately... a-about you." "Me?" He awkwardly chuckles "Why?" "I don't know! But they're terrifying!" She exclaimed. Then she frowned "I actually thought I lost you this time."
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore freeze in shock. Then Theodore whispered "Whaat?" Simon clears his throat "W-well this is interesting…" Alvin blinks speechless while Brittany sighs looking away from them but mostly Alvin. "You must think this is some kind of joke…"
Simon and Theodore glance at their brother thinking the same thing since they know him all too well. Alvin snaps out of his shock and frowns "W-wha- no I don't Britt… I mean I'm not going to lie, I was shocked." He notices his brother's look of unbelieving towards him.
He glares at them shouting "I don't think this is a joke! I'm not a complete jerk!" Then he sighs "If you two aren't going to help then leave." They roll their eyes at him and leave the room leaving him with a still distraught Brittany.
He finally turns back to her slightly worried. "Britt, how long have you had these dreams?" She rubs her arm biting her lip "Umm… About three days…" Then she looks into his eyes "But they weren't as bad as today" "THREE DAYS! Brittany, why didn't you say anything?" He exclaimed, now worried.
She frowns "I-I didn't want to worry anyone… So I kept it to myself…" Alvin sighs "Well, do you want to talk about it? It might help a bit. *He chuckles lightly* It works whenever I get nightmares" She grins teasingly "Oh yeah! I forgot you get nightmares over stupid things."
"Hey! Not all of them are stupid!" He exclaimed glaring at her but also grinning at the same time. She giggles while he shakes his head. "But seriously Britt. Do you want to talk about it? As I said, it could help, it's not healthy to keep things inside you."
She sighs "Yeah alright… Maybe you're right… But what if it doesn't work? What if I keep on having these nightmares? I HATE them, Alvin, it scares me so much to think that they're actually real when they're not!" He slyly smiles "I'm not sure Britt… But I do know that it doesn't work immediately. It could take days but if you keep on telling someone each dream every time, it could lead to a conclusion."
She nods then takes a deep breath then exhales. Then she looks into his eyes and sly smiles. Then she explains what the nightmare was all about not leaving anything out. When finished explaining she was now crying which made Alvin frown so he wrapped his arms around her for a hug.
She accepted it by placing her arms around him, then she pulled away and smiled "Thank you, Alvin. You were right, it did make me feel a bit better." He smiles back "You're welcome Brittany. Glad that I could help, unlike my brothers."
She rolls her eyes then asks one more question "W-would it be okay if I came to you again if I have another one?" "Sure, I don't mind Britt." "Thanks! Well, I better go now, I don't want my sisters to find out that I left the Treehouse with no note."
He nods "Okay, tell your sisters I said hi when you see them. If they ask out of the question just say I came over or something." She nods grinning "Will do! Bye!" She makes her way towards the window and ziplines back home. Alvin smiles watching her leave while his brothers walk into the room.
Simon raises an eyebrow "Did Brittany leave?" "And did you help her as well?" Theodore asked. Alvin turns to them grinning "Yep! She feels a lot better than she did this morning and knows that it takes time for nightmares to go away."
Then he frowns "When she was telling me about her nightmare it sounded so terrifying! I couldn't believe this was what she was dreaming about. It's terrible!" He sighs, making Simon and Theodore blink in surprise. "What was it about?"
"Yeah, didn't she say it was about you?" Alvin shakes his head "Yeah but, you don't want to know. Trust me!" Then he walked out of the room leaving them now curious.
It was three days later and Brittany was still having those horrendous nightmares about Alvin. She's been going to Alvin sharing what each dream was about. She's glad that she can rely on him to help her feel better every visit but it still wasn't enough. She's been falling asleep in school, getting in trouble, and not getting her work done.
Her siblings along with Alvin and his brothers are getting very worried especially Alvin. Right now he is looking at her worried and is frowning since she is fast asleep on her desk in Miss Smith's class. He flinches when Miss Smith suddenly shouts out her name waking her up. "BRITTANY!" Shouted Miss Smith.
"Huh?! Wha?" Brittany shouted out disoriented. Miss Smith sighs "Brittany this is the third time you've been sleeping in my class! This is unacceptable!" She frowns embarrassed "I'm sorry Miss Smith… I've just been having a hard time sleeping lately and I'm trying everything to cure it but nothing is working."
Miss Smith sighs "Well keep working on it but in the meantime, please work on your classwork and try to not fall asleep in my class again okay?" She nods, making Miss Smith nod approvingly. "Good" Then Miss Smith turns around to write something on the chalkboard.
Brittany sighs then turns her head to the right to see Alvin staring at her worriedly. She starts to tear up making Alvin frown then gets up from his seat and walks towards her to comfort her. But before he could get close enough to her Miss Smith screams at him. "ALVIN! SIT BACK DOWN!"
He freezes, squeezing his eyes shut then sighs opening them. He slyly smiles and whispers to Brittany "Sorry Britt" He turns around to go back to his seat when Brittany quickly gets up from her seat ignoring Miss Smith's shouts for her to sit down and grabs his arm.
He stops and turns around surprised while she whispers to him more tears threatening to fall. "No… Please I can't… I need-" Alvin frowns again and whispers back to her but in her ear. "We will talk after class okay? There's only three minutes left." She nods and lets go of his arm and they both go back to their seats for the remainder of class with everyone looking at them confused.
When class was over Brittany who was still distressed grabbed Alvin's arm and pulled him out of the classroom. Alvin blinks in surprise but then remembers what happened in class. "Whoa! Britt! Hey, slow down and let me walk okay?" She stops and lets go of his arm apologetically. "Sorry…"
He smiles warmly and places his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, why don't we go and talk about what happened in class." She nods "C-can we go somewhere private? Like… one of our lockers? No one is going to look in there." He shrugs "Sure. It's better than the janitor's closet."
So they walked to Brittany's locker since it was the closest and went inside. Brittany starts whimpering while Alvin closes the door without anyone knowing. He turns around hearing her then frowns once again "Are you okay?"
"NO!" She cries out "I-I can't take this anymore Alvin… These dreams are getting worse! I can't sleep without getting woken up by one…" She starts bawling, "I'm so tired!" Without saying anything Alvin comforts her by hugging her which makes her bawl harder hugging him back tightly.
Once she had no tears left in her system they pulled away from the hug. Alvin looks at her then thinks for a second and asks her a question "Hey Brittany? I just thought of something…" She looks at him confused "Yeah?" "Well… I was wondering if you ever found the solution to these dreams? Like are they the same or do they keep changing?
I know that you are telling me every dream but maybe you are keeping something from me that you don't want me to know… If that's the case then maybe that's why nothing is improving…" She freezes, making him blink in surprise "Am I right? Are you keeping something from me?" Brittany stutters "I-I-I *She swallows*
"Y-yeah I am but… *She starts to tear up again* I'm a-a-afraid of your a-answer" She squeezes her eyes shut "It always ends with me saying 'No! Don't leave me, please! I-'" She stops having a hard time saying the rest which Alvin notices and tries to console her but doesn't get to when she finally screams "I LOVE YOU!"
Alvin freezes and looks at her in shock not blinking what's soever. Brittany opens her eyes hesitantly. She is scared to see his reaction to her revelation of the missing piece of the nightmare. She calls out his name quietly "A-alvin?" "W-what?" "Huh?"
"What did you say was the full ending of the nightmare? And don't leave anything out… Please." She shifts uncomfortably but compiles but much quieter "No! Don't leave me, please! I LOVE YOU!" She sighs "That's what I've been keeping from you… I didn't want you to know about that since I know you don't feel that way about me…"
Alvin breaks out of his shock and frowns hearing that. He sighs and shakes his head "Why would you think that?" She blinks "What do you mean?" "Why would you think that I don't feel the same way? That's completely false" He said, looking at her warmly. She gapes at him speechless while he explains "Ever since I've been helping you with your nightmares, I've finally noticed how much you mean to me.
It made me realize that my feelings for you never went away like I thought they did when we were younger. So when you screamed that you loved me it made me realize that I was doing this for granted." She smiled after hearing that and they both looked into each other's eyes. They both don't realize that they're starting to lean forward to each other.
When they got close to each other they closed their eyes and pressed their lips together for a sweet but passionate kiss. When they broke apart they opened their eyes only for a second before closing the gap again to resume where they left off, but this time they deepened it. After a few minutes went by they finally broke apart gasping for air. When they catch their breath they both smile at each other now knowing that the conclusion of the nightmare has been made.
"Hey, Alvin!" Brittany shouted happily. He turns his head from his brothers to his girlfriend with a smile on his face. "Hey! So? Did it work?" She grins "YES! It's gone! I'm free from nightmares!" Alvin grins as well and gives a peck on her lips then hugs her tightly which makes her laugh happily. Ever since Brittany revealed the missing piece of the nightmare, the nightmares that night finally went away giving her the rightful sleep she needed. She and Alvin couldn't be any more grateful.
