Author's Note: I was hopping to upload this yesterday but I just wasn't feeling like myself. Remember Alvin's mood and mental state have changed for the next several Chapters.

Chapter 13

Breaking the News

Alvin walks upstairs to the bedroom and opens the door and sees Simon and Theodore sleeping peacefully.

Alvin: How do I tell them? How do I tell them that Dave may die? He says thinking to himself.

Alvin takes a deep breath and goes and wakes Simon up first.

Alvin: Simon wake up. He says shaking Simon.

Simon: Is Dave on the phone?

Alvin: No

Simon: Then why are you waking me up?

Alvin: I will explain in a minute.

Alvin walks over to Theodore.

Alvin: Theodore wake up.

Theodore: Why is Dave on the phone?

Alvin: No but I need to tell you and Simon something.

Simon: What is it, Alvin? It's late.

Alvin: Dave... Dave was in a car crash.

Simon and Theodore gasp.

Simon: Is he ok?

Alvin shakes his head no.

Theodore: Is is Dave dead!? He says with tears pouring out of his eyes.

Alvin: No but he is in bad shape and may not make it.

Simon: Are you sure Alvin?

Alvin: Yes, Sam is downstairs he was the one who told me. Listen, guys, we need to pack our bags to go to Oakton for a couple of days.

Simon: Ok Alvin. Theodore I will help you pack.

Theodore just nods his head.

The 3 Chipmunks are soon packed and head downstairs.

Alvin: Ok Sam we are ready.

Sam: Follow me, boys.

Simon and Theodore go out behind Sam as Alvin stays behind to lock up the house.

Sam: Are you guys ready to go?

Alvin: As ready as we will ever be for something like this.

Sam starts the car and heads toward the airport.

Simon: Alvin how are we getting to Oakton?

Alvin: On our jet. I already called Mitch.

Simon: Ok.

The rest of the ride to the Airport was completely quiet no one said a word.

Sam: Boys we are here.

Alvin: Thanks for the ride Sam. I will take it from here.

Sam: Are you sure Alvin?

Alvin: Yes.

Sam: Ok call me if you need anything.

Alvin nods his head and shuts the door of the car.

The Chipmunks make their way to their jet.

They put their bags away and take their seats.

Mitch: Um Alvin if you're ready we can take off.

Alvin just nods his head.

Mitch: Don't worry guys I will fly this jet as fast as it can go.

Mitch goes into the cockpit and begins taxing the jet out to the runway.

A few minutes later the jet begins speeding down the runway and takes off.

Alvin is sitting in his seat he looks emotionless and says nothing.

Theodore: Simon do you think Dave will live?

Simon: Theodore I wish I had a real answer to give you but I don't. It's a 50/50 chance

Theodore: Ok Simon. Alvin, have you heard anything else on Dave?

Alvin gives no response.

Simon: Theodore let's not talk to Alvin right now Theodore. He has a lot on his mind.

Theodore: Your right Simon. I can't even imagine how he feels. He nearly lost it breaking the news to us.

Alvin's thoughts:

Dave is in the hospital and may die. Dave left me in charge of my brothers. I am responsible for them. I am not a kid anymore. If Dave dies, I have to take over everything he did because I am the oldest and he left me in charge.

Author's Note: Sorry for the short Chapter. But as aways let me know what you think! I really enjoy hearing what you think of my story! :)
