The other thing too is that everyone has a range of notes they can hit and those they cannot easily. it could be that the part is out of your range and it needs to re-arranged and distributed properly if it's a group piece to suit your voice.

But everyone has a break in their voice, it's when you switch from your chest voice to your head voice.
My voice used to have a really prominent break, until i started singing a lot more often and my voice pretty much stopped changing. Then I didn't have a break anymore because now I just switch registers when I feel like I should.
Just practice your scales over and over and you will become better at knowing when to just switch registers, and then you won't have that break.
But don't worry about it too much for now, because your voice will continue to change until you're 18.

If you want your voice to get better, you have to practice practice practice. The more you practice, the stronger your voice will be. Instead of just belting out the notes, practice your scales over and over. It really works. It also helps to warm up before you perform. Don't attack the high notes until AFTER you've warmed up.
Here's a website that has some scales and warm-up techniques:
