"Alvin you have to eat" Dave said as he tried to calm the boy down who wouldn't go out of his room and just keep on crying for the whole week on his bed. Simon and Theodore are on Theo's bed staring at their brother with worry.

"Fine, I'll leave your food here and when I return I have to see this empty" Dave said and left the room.


"This isn't Healthy Alvin" Theodore said hugging Simon's waist. He's really worried because Alvin usually is the one who doesn't care when trouble comes. The one who's just happy. But now he seemed to be the opposite. He won't eat.. He'll only eat when forced to.


"Alvin I know how hard this is for you. Its hard for us as well, but we just chose not to show it. Do you think Brittany will be happy when she hear about this? She wouldn't like for you to be this way Al" Simon explained

"Why do you always have to bring her name up everytime?!" Alvin snapped "Do you how hurt I am?! Do you know how hard it is for me to hear her name?! DON'T YOU EVER SAY HER NAME AGAIN!!" 


"Theo, go to the chipettes house" Simon told his little brother.

"But Simon" Theodore said


"Go, its fine" Simon said and Theodore nods his head and left the room



"Alvin... Are you?.. Are you mad at Brittany?" Simon asked still shocked by his outburst. Alvin just covered himself with his blanket. So he jumped down theos bed and looked up at Alvin's "Alvin you know this isn't her fault, We got into an accident" He continued




"I KNOW!!! I KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T HER FAULT AT ALL!" Alvin yelled tears streaming down his face ever more. Simon stayed still



"Its my fault Simon... Its my fault" He cried making simon took a step forward towards him squinting at him.


"Alvin, Why-why would you even think that?" Simon asked


"I wasn't able to protect her Si.. I tried to but she still ended up getting hurt the most" Alvin explained

"Alvin..." Simon said

"Please just leave me alone" Alvin begged.

------------------------------------------------------

"They're fighting again huh?" Eleanor said more than asked as she, Jeanette and Theodore sat on the stools of their kitchen table. Jeanette sighed.


"Alvin won't eat again?" She asked. All of them were worried about the red clad.


"Yes, we tried to feed him but he ended up lashing out about how he don't want to hear Brittany's name" Theodore explained


"He-he said that?" Jeanette asked and Theodore slowly nod his head


"Is he mad at Brittany? He knows its not Brittany's fault she ended up like that" Eleanor said wanting to defend her sister

"Or maybe he's so worried and sad. Maybe he don't want her name to be brought out because it makes him feel hurt even more" Jeanette said wanting to keep the positive in all the negatives going on.


"I hope so because if that's not the reason and he's blaming our sister for what happened he'll get what he deserves to get so he'll wake up" Eleanor threatened the person not present at the moment.


"Ellie, Brittany hasn't done anything for him to be mad at her.. Why do you think he's crying?" Jeanette said trying to reassure her sister


"I agree with Jeanette, Alvin cares about Brittany more than anything and that's one thing he can't admit to people but I can feel it" Theodore said


"We all do theo" Jeanette said giving him a short warm smile



"There are people who would still blame those who really don't have any fault to forget the pain.... But if he's not eating then maybe you're both right" Eleanor said


"We are Ellie, we just have to give Alvin some time. He'll open up soon" Jeanette said smiling then drunk his hot chocolate drink.


------------------------------------------------------

"I just miss her so much and I can't help but feel guilty about what happened. I could've protected her" Alvin cried.



"Alvin listen to me, we can't turn back the time. It already happened but beating yourself up about what happened won't fix anything.. You have to sray strong for Brittany. She won't like this. You know her." Simon said still trying to persuade his brother that its not his fault. "This isn't your fault Al. You can't predict the future, you didn't know that there will be a truck heading our way. Killing yourself while you're doing everything to heal someone you care about.. What do you think that person will feel? The same guilt you're feeling right now? Do you want that?" Simon asked him. Alvin just sniffed but is now thinking about what Simon said. "Crying won't help with this situation Alvin. Not eating will just make you weak. Think about Brittany Alvin. Don't try and avoid hearing her name because I know that name means a lot to you but you just won't admit" Simon said. Alvin then looked up and look at his brother straight in his eyes.


"I don't want to upset her" Alvin suddenly said making Simon sigh.

"But you're doing it currently" Simon told him


"I know and thank you for telling me" Alvin said making Simon smile



"You can count on me anytime bro" Simon said as Alvin jumped down the bed and hug him. He smiled and hugged him back.



"What do you want to eat?" Simon asked




"Honestly Pizza but I don't want to upset Dave so I'll just eat what he made me" Alvin said smiling and Simon wiped his tears away.




"I'll treat you tomorrow because you listened to me very well. Brittany would be so proud" Simon said making Alvin roll his eyes





"Pfft Whatevs... Let's just go downstairs I'm starving" Alvin said




"Alright" Simon said





"Last one to get to the kitchen has to do the dishes!" Alvin exclaimed and run




"No fair you have a head start" Simon complained but started running as well. The door then closed behind him and Alvin's laugh can be heard.
