Red Light, Green Light

This is actually my first one shot ever. I hope I did alright. It's not to long. Please review.

Why had I felt so betrayed? Eleanor's quarrels were not my problem! She could fall for that little jerk face of a chipmunk. I didn't care… did I? No! That's ridiculous to even think. I hated Alvin and he hated me.

But if I truly did hate him, why was I so jealous?

Jealousy was in my nature… that's it.

I sat up on my bed and rubbed my temples glancing over to the picture of Alvin on Ellie's night stand. A lump formed instantly in my throat. Who was I kidding?

I loved Alvin Seville.

I was outraged. What the hell did my baby sister have that I didn't? Just then Eleanor walked in and I had an idea. I stood up and smiled "Oh hi Eleanor. Say how are things with Alvin going?"

Eleanor eyed me suspiciously "Why Brittany…"

"Well I'm just worried about you. I don't want you to get hurt." I thought about what I had just said. And I did truly mean it. Alvin could be a total tramp.

Eleanor crossed her arms "I can take care of myself thank you."

I frowned and put an arm around her shoulder. "Ellie you're my baby sister, I have to look out for you."

Eleanor still seemed unsure as she looked up at me.

I flashed another smile "Don't you trust me?"

"Yes…" she hesitated.

"Good." I said quickly going back to my bed.

"Brittany… you won't doing anything rash will you?"

I gasped "Eleanor! It hurts that you could even think that I would try to ruin your relationship with Alvin."

"Oh Brittany… I just know you. That's all." She sighed leaving me all alone again.

Eleanor was on to me. So I had to be careful. But I still did not understand how Ellie could like Alvin, and Alvin actually liking her back. Honestly Alvin didn't deserve her. She was sweet little Ellie, and she was becoming more rebellious by the day. And neither I nor Jean liked that.

So I guess I was doing this for the both of us. I had to save Ellie… and myself.

A week later I got absolutely nowhere. This angered me even more. How was I not irresistible? I tried everything in the book.

I guess Alvin really was in love, if that was even possible for him. And the way Ellie looked at him and giggled at all his jokes honestly was really cute. And the more I thought about this whole situation, the more I thought to leave it be. My sister was truly happy. And whatever made her happy I would have to adjust to.

I guess you could say there relationship is like streetlights. Alvin is the red light, Ellie the green. And me? I am the yellow light. I could slow down their relationship. But it was apparent I could never stop it. Sure that made me mad. But there were even some things I couldn't change.
