High School Drama

Ch 26

"Nothing but More Drama"

During summer vacation Dave walked up the stairs to Alvin's room where Alvin and Brittany were playing a video game. He looked up and stared as Brittany beat him in Sonic Riders.

"Oh no you didn't just cut me off? Why I oughtta. Ok you wanna play games I'll come ahead soon enough."

Brittany laughed.

"You're a sore loser but I still love you! Stop pouting like a baby it's a game."

She stared and watched as Alvin used his turbo button passing up Brittany putting him in 3rd place. The eh laughed at her face as a few other passed her putting her back to 7th place.

"That is not fair! If anyone is cheating its you! How could you have possibly come from 7th place and knock me all the way back to 7th?"

Alvin smiled.

"Its called skillz I love video games and play them while we're on tour to keep me occupied! Hey Dave wuz^"

Dave looked.

"Just wanted to check in on you and Brittany. Besides I'm going away for a couple of weeks. Which means you'll be in charge. I expect you to behave yourself and make sure your brothers do the same. Ms. Miller will be checking in on you."

Alvin sighed.

"Ms. Miller; Dave I'm 16 and don't need a babysitter. And I certainly don't need to be checked in on either! I am capable of watching my brothers while you're away! Can once go by that you don't have Ms. Miller check in on us? Just once trust me without treating me like a baby! Oh Whatever!"

He slammed his controller down and Brittany ran off after him as he went to the backyard and lay on his hammock. She ran out and lay on his hammock next to him resting her head on his chest.

"Oh Alvin stop thinking like that; it's only to make sure you 3 are safe. Why do you always get upset?"

He looked at her as he stroked her forehead gently.

"Because he just doesn't trust me and I'm the eldest. When Simon was in charge he never had your stepmother check on us. But then when I finally got the responsibility to take care of my brothers he always has her come over! I'm just tired of it Britt. I deserve a chance to prove to him that I can be responsible enough to watch my brothers and our house while he's away and he just won't give me the chance."

Brittany moved her hands from the side and moved them inside his shirt and back out again.

"Then tell him how you feel. I mean did it ever occur to you that the way you carry on whenever he tells you that our stepmother will be by to check on you 3 is not showing him that you can handle it on your own. Instead you carry on and act like a child when you're 16 now and have to act a little bit more mature. Go talk to your father he's upstairs in his room packing! Anyway we have to be getting home for dinner! I love you Alvin and will see you tomorrow. "

She kissed him and then got off the hammock and ran to get her sisters who were watching a movie with his brothers in the living room. Alvin just sighed and continued to stare at the moon shining above.

'Yea sure Britt. Like he's going to listen to me or just say I'm acting immature!'

Alvin got off the hammock and watched as his brothers kissed Brittany's sisters goodnight watching them get in Brittany's car. He waved to Brittany as she pulled out and blew him a kiss. Then she rolled down the window.

"Remember what I told you darling and see you tomorrow love you Alvin goodnight!"

He smiled and then he headed upstairs and Simon looked as he closed the door.

"Where are you going now? Going to pout because Dave is having Ms. Miller check in on us because you're in charge instead of me. Face it bro I'm more mature than you even though you're supposed to be the eldest! Alvin just glared and Theodore shook his head.

"Do you ever stop? What is your problem? Yes Alvin is the eldest! He does have a point you know. He's the eldest and shouldn't have to have Ms. Miller check in on us when he's in charge!"

Simon laughed.

"Oh yea right…he'll just end up getting in trouble like he normally does! That's why Dave is having Ms. Miller check in on us because he doesn't trust Alvin!"

Alvin just shook his head and entered Dave's room where he was packing.

"Dave can I talk to you please? Yes it is about Ms. Miller. I don't think you're being fair to me having her check in on us. I'm 16 now and not 7 anymore! It isn't fair that when Simon was in charge you never had her check on us. But every single time I get a chance to be in charge you do…give me a chance to prove I'm responsible enough to watch my brothers? Dave please…be fair to me and stop treating me like I'm still 7. "

Dave looked at how serious Alvin's face was.

"Ok Alvin I'm giving you one more chance. I won't have Ms. Miller check in on you 3. But I expect this house to still be in one piece when I get back. And if I call I expect you to answer your cell or the house phone I mean it Alvin this is your last chance!"

Alvin looked.

"Ok Dave thank you. I won't disappoint you I promise. Let me go and call Brittany to tell her what time we're picking them up for the movie tomorrow. Bye Dave."

Simon saw Alvin exit Dave's room.

"I suppose you failed once again. Just face it you're not responsible like me. I'm the smart one for a reason!"

Alvin looked.

"Why don't you ask Dave yourself genius? I have to tell Britt what time we're leaving for the movie tomorrow!"

Dave descended from the stairs.

"Actually Simon I expect you to respect your brother while I'm gone. He's in charge and I don't want to hear you complaining! Alvin is the oldest not you! Now enough I have to go now. Bye boys I love you and will see you when I get back."

The 3 boys hugged Dave and watched as he got in the cab. Then Alvin locked the front door and looked at Simon.

"You were saying? I'm in charge and Ms. Miller isn't checking on us genius! Exactly where do you think you're going? Well answer me I'm waiting."

Simon looked.

"To the tree house to be with Jeanie. What's it to you anyway! You know ever since we got back I haven't spent time with her bro and I'll be in by 11pm. Unlike you I wear my watch and am always on time for curfew!"

Alvin looked.

"Who's fault is that? Not mine now is it? You better be in at 11pm and fill up my tank when you are on your way home. Gas isn't cheap you know! I mean it Simon don't play games with me I'm in no mood!"

Thedore just sighed as Alvin closed the door behind Simon and watched him pull out and drive toward the tree house.

"Can one day go by that you 2 don't fight? Man you 2 are brothers not enemies!"

Alvin just looked.

"Tell him that he's the one that always starts on me for no reason! Like its my fault his nose is always buried in a book or he's in his lab constantly forgetting he has a girlfriend. Why don't you call the girls to come over so we can watch the MJ memorial!! It reairs tonight since we missed it earlier being at the studio recording!"

Theodore stared.

"Alvin are you sure that's a good idea? I mean Michael was a friend and your idol. Will you be able to stay together as we watch it? What I've heard its sad! I mean he's in the coffin on stage bro."

Alvin looked.

"Theo I'll be fine stop worrying will you?"

He looked as he grabbed the phone.

"But the day you found out you broke down in tears on me and Simon. Alvin we were at the recording studio when we heard!"

He looked at his baby brother.

"Ok you're right but I'll be fine will you just stop being like that already! Theodore I said drop it and just call the girls. Brittany doesn't have to know how I broke down in tears either and you better not tell her or I'll pound you! Do I make myself clear?"

Theodore gulped as Alvin glared.

"Yes loud and clear! Take a chill pill you hot head!"

Alvin stared and fixed the love seat and the couch so they could sit down and watch. Theodore called Brittany and Eleanor and she answered.

'Ok Teddy we'll be there in 20 minutes Ellie has dishes and I have to clean off the table. See you boys in a bit. Bye."

Theodore smiled.

'Ok Britt see you ladies shortly Theo out.'

Back at The tree house Jeanette was laying in her bed staring at the ceiling when Simon entered.

"Jeanie my precious I'm here. Where are you?"

She smiled and sat up in her bed.

"I'm in the room we shared when we lived here such a long time ago. Just turn the corner and you'll be there. I'm just thinking Simon.

He turned the corner and smiled at her.

"Hey I just want you to know I really missed you my precious. You were always on my mind."

She smiled at him.

"I better have been on your mind. Because all I could think of was you while you were gone. Each day that passed I couldn't see you I felt so lonely! I'm so glad you're home. I missed you so much Simon."

She grabbed the remote and turned to the channel where the memorial was on and stared at him smiling.

"So my question is exactly how you are going to make up for the time you were away! You missed our anniversary."

He smiled and took off his glasses and placed them on the nightstand. Then he leaned down and kissed her passionately. She returned his approach and felt her body descending to the bed below them sighing as his hands moved up her thighs and back to her skirt slowly sliding it off to the floor. Her hands moved to his shirt and she unbuttoned it slowly pushing him down to the bed kissing his chest as she slid his shirt off and let it fall on top of her skirt.

His hands moved to her shirt and he slid it off over her head letting it fall to the ground on top of his shirt and her skirt. He smiled up at her as she unfastened his pants sliding them off till they fell on top of their clothes. Then she untied his boxers and slid them off. He moved his hands to her waistband and slid them down till they also fell to the floor. Then she unfastened her bra and slid it off causing it to fall.

He closed his eyes as everything around them disappeared to shades of red as she moved up on him as sweat dripped off her body to his. They moved across the bed and continued as the memorial service played even though the volume was muted. It ended and she fell asleep on Simon. He held her close to him and put up the volume on the TV continuing to watch the service. Trying to hold back the tears as they all sang MJ's songs and said their speeches. As he watched he stroked Jeanette's forehead gently still holding back the tears.

Back at The house Alvin looked down and realized Brittany had fallen asleep on his lap. He put a cover over her and stroked her forehead gently holding back the tears forming in his eyes. Theodore looked and handed Alvin a box of tissues so he could blow his nose. He took a Kleenex and blew his nose. Then suddenly tears just rolled down his cheeks and woke up Brittany. She looked up and held him close as he cried on her.

"Its ok Alvin I'm here just let it out! I know how much he meant to you and your brothers. I know how much you looked up to him."

She shook her head as she held him close to her as he cried on her shoulder. He looked up into her eyes.

"I don't usually break down like this but Britt that was my idol and a good friend of ours. I just don't understand why he had to go. How and what happened he looked so healthy a few days ago!"

She sighed.

"I know Alvin I saw and wish I could answer that but darling I just can't! All we can do is carry on the legacy he started and keep him in our hearts! I already had my break down when we watched it with Ms. Miller! He's a legend that will never die out! He touched so many people and there are plenty of people that looked up to him like you! But you can't forget him! Alvin are you listening to me?"

Eleanor looked down.

"Britt he's asleep. Oh and so is Theo."

Both sisters covered the brothers and Brittany called Ms. Miller. She answered.

'Yes Brittany dear. Oh the poor dear its ok just make sure you're home in time for your recording session! Goodnight ladies see you tomorrow and tell the boys I love them too.'

She sighed with relief.

'Yes Ms. Miller I'll tell them and thank you. See you 2morrow.'

Eleanor shut off the TV and Her and Brittany fell asleep next to the boys holding them close.

Back at the tree house Simon shut off the TV and held Jeanette close to him as she slept soundly on him with her soft skin rubbing against his. He was about to fall a sleep when he saw Jeanie's cell flashing. He picked it up and answered.

'No Jeanette is not here at the moment. What do you mean who am I? I happen to be Jeanie's boyfriend for a few years now. Oh really I'd like you to try and watch how fast you fall buddy! I know about you and how you treated her when you went with her! Just know this I'm her man now and if anyone tries to hurt her you will deal with me get me Brett! Now I advise you to lose her number and stay away from her cause I will not let you hurt her anymore BYE!!!'

Jeanette woke up and looked at Simon.

"Who was that Simon? Yes I know I should've told you but he left me alone for a while and just recently started calling me again. I don't answer just let my machine pick up and erase his messages. No you don't have to worry he's all talk and no action. He can't do any harm to anyone! No of course not I'm true to you my professor love. Simon talk to me I'm telling you the truth! I could never cheat on you! He's lying we never met! Simon don't be like this I could never hurt you; you are the only man I could ever love Simon don't leave!"

He got dressed and just drove off fuming. Alvin was awaken to see Brittany asleep next to him when he heard his tire screech and his car door slam! Simon unlocked the door and rushed up the stairs to his room slamming the door waking up Theodore, Brittany, and Eleanor. Alvin clicked on the light and ran up the stairs after Simon leaving Brittany puzzled.

Simon looked at Alvin as he exited the bathroom ready for bed.

"Don't ask how my night was just go back to sleep! Alvin just leave me the hell alone I don't want to be bothered!"

Alvin looked.

"Whoa hold up bro I'm your brother talk to me! Simon what the hell is wrong with you! Answer me or I swear I'll pound you clear into the ground! Simon!"

Simon glared.

"Just leave and let me be alone! Goodnight Alvin just get out of my room! I am not in the mood to talk!!!"

Alvin exited and Simon slammed his bedroom door and cried himself to sleep. Alvin heard him crying by the door and shook his head. Brittany came up behind him and grabbed his waist.

"Darling what's the matter? Why did he throw you out of his room? What is going on? Wasn't he with Jeanette 2night?"

Alvin shrugged and shook his head and he grabbed her hands by his waist.

"Don't ask me he won't even talk to me and he's my brother! Britt let's just go to bed this is too much for me to deal with I'm only 16. Maybe in the morning he'll talk to me but now he just doesn't want to be bothered by anyone. "

She sighed and let go of his waist.

"Ok then we'll go to bed then."

Theodore exited his room and asked.

"Alvin what's with Simon? Its 12am and he's yelling and slamming doors! I thought he was with Jeanie tonight! Why is he like this and is he crying or am I hearing things?"

Alvin stared at his baby brother.

"Yes Teddy he's crying but why I have no idea he told me to leave him alone and slammed the door in my face! Let's just get to bed it's getting really late! Goodnight Theo and Ellie see you in the morning."

They watched as Theo and Ellie entered Theo's room and waited till the light went off. Then They entered Alvin's room and he pulled his bed down while Brittany entered the bathroom to change for bed. She borrowed a pair of his pajamas and got in the bed leaving room for him to come in. he entered his bathroom and changed for bed. Then he got in his bed to discover she had already fallen asleep. He lay down and she shifted her head from the pillow to his bare chest. He kissed her on the forehead and covered them both.

"Goodnight Britt I love you see you in the morning."

She smiled and opened her eyes for a split second.

"Goodnight Alvin I love you to. See you in the morning."

Shortly after he drifted off to sleep holding Brittany close to him as his ceiling fan blew over them. In Theo's room they both fell asleep holding one another as his fan also blew above them as they slept.
