"A large car crash has been reported in New Jersey. Authorities on the scene say that all involved have been reported dead. Police have not yet released the names of the victims, but will release them as time goes on..."

Someone frantically knocked at the door of the Wolff apartment.

Nat was home, but he was in too much of shock to answer the door. He was practically numb. It was almost as if he were in a daze. He knew who it was, or who it should be. She would let herself in.

The door opened immediately and Rosalina Tai, his best friend and girlfriend ran inside. "I got your text. What's wrong?"

Nat only stared at the TV, which was still showing images of the scene of the car crash.

"You heard about that? Isn't it sad, I feel so bad for those people and their families."

He took a deep breath. "Rosalina, someone I know...was in that crash."

Rosalina looked at him. "It's not...it's not Alex, is it?"

He shook his head.

"It can't be...it can't be one of the guys..."

"It's not. They're all fine."

"Then who...?"

"It's...my uncle. Uncle Miles."

"What? No, that can't be right."

Nat only shook his head.

"They haven't even released the names yet, Nat, how could that be?"

"My aunt called."

"What did she say?"

Nat picked up his phone, and played the voicemail:

"Nat, it's Aunt Emma calling. I'm calling about...your uncle," The voice stopped, and Rosalina could tell she was crying. "He...he was coming home from a festival in New Jersey and there was an accident. Uncle Miles didn't make it. I'm so sorry, Nat. Call me back when you get this."

Instead of putting his phone away, Nat just dropped it.

"Oh my God, Nat..." Rosalina walked over to the couch and hugged her boyfriend. "I'm so sorry this is happening."

Nat returned the hug, hugging her back tightly.

"You'll get through this, okay? I'll be right here with you the whole time."

He pulled away from the hug. "Thank you Rosie."

"Where's Alex?"

"At the skate park. He doesn't know yet."

Rosalina sighed. "How do you think he'll take it?"

The door opened and Alex walked inside. "Hey Nat, you'll never guess what happened! Oh hey Rosalina," Alex said, walking into the living room.

"Alex...I have to tell you something," Nat said, motioning for his brother to sit next to him.

"What is it?" Alex asked, sitting next to him.

"Alex, today Uncle Miles was driving home from a music festival...and there was a car accident."

"Is he okay? Do you we have to go to the hospital?"

Nat looked at the TV, then looked back at his brother and sighed.

It finally hit Alex. "No...no, no, no, no, no! Everything was finally working out! Everything was going great!"

"Alex, please–"

"No! No, you're wrong!"

"Alex…"

"Just…leave me alone!" Alex said and stormed out of the room into his bedroom.

Nat sighed again.

"Should we…?" Rosalina asked cautiously.

He shook his head. "No. That's how he deals with it. Let him calm down first."

"Nat, it'll be okay. I promise," She said.

"I don't know anymore, Rosie."

"It will be. It got better after your dad died, right? And it got better after everything with Uncle Miles right? Now is no different. You'll get through this, just like always. Maybe it'll take a little longer. But the guys and I will be right there, with you and Alex."

"But I can't believe I hated him for so long, and now…he's gone."

"Nat," She said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You were okay and everything was fine. It's not like you were fighting when he left for the festival."

He only shook his head.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded slowly.

She stood up from the couch. "I'm going to call my dad and tell him I'm staying the night here, okay?" She kissed his head. "You know I love you, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…"

She gave him a smile and walked away.

Nat turned off the TV. He couldn't bear watching those images anymore. He dropped the remote on the floor with his phone. What was he supposed to do? Their source of money was gone. Besides the band, and his side job, he knew that wasn't enough to pay for everything. How would they stay in the apartment? How would they take care of the band? How would they take care of themselves? All the questions from the summer resurfaced in his mind.

"Nat? Are you okay?"

He shook himself out of his thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"You kinda zoned out," Rosalina said, sitting next to him.

"Oh…sorry."

"It's fine. But have you eaten?"

"I don't know if I can think about food right now."

"C'mon Nat, please? We can eat and watch movies for the rest of the day. We can even call the guys if you want."

"No, we don't have to."

"Then I'll make some mac and cheese and you, me and Alex can watch movies. What about that?"

He shrugged.

"I'm taking it as a yes. This mac and cheese will be the best you've ever had," She said, getting up.

"I'll be the judge of that!" He called after her.

~NBB~

They got Alex to come out for dinner, but he didn't say much and Nat didn't eat much.

Rosalina convinced both of the boys to watch movies. Both boys silently agreed.

Alex sat in the egg chair, as usual and Nat and Rosalina sat on the couch. They watched movies for literally the rest of the day. Rosalina noticed that neither Nat or Alex seemed too into it. But she really couldn't blame them. It was obvious Alex was dealing with it, but Nat…Nat didn't seem to be doing much of anything at all.

After one of their movies was over, Nat stood up. "Alex, c'mon it's time for bed."

Alex slowly got up, with their dog Lucky at his feet, and trudged to his bedroom.

"I'll go get some blankets," Rosalina said, standing up.

"You could sleep in my room. I'll sleep on the floor."

"Nat, I–"

"Please?"

She could see the look in his eyes. It was one she'd seen before, but only one other time. It was during the summer, when he was under too much stress. She couldn't help it. She nodded. "Okay." She followed him to his room and he got some blankets out for himself.

They both got comfortable and it was silent for a while until Rosalina said, "Nat…Alex got mad when he heard the news. What about you? You haven't done anything and it actually kind of worries me."

"I'm fine," He said from the floor.

"Would you come sit up here with me for a little bit?"

"But it's so far away…" He joked.

She laughed quietly. "Please?"

He got up from the floor and sat next to her on the bed.

"You okay?"

Nat stared around the room and nodded.

"You don't seem okay."

That was when he finally met her eyes and Rosalina saw his eyes were red from crying.

"You've been…crying," She said, just like when they were little.

"I can't say I've been chopping onions this time," Nat joked, trying to keep himself from crying any more.

She gave him a sympathetic smile and pulled him into a hug. "Why didn't you tell me you were so upset?"

"I'm not good at talking about my feelings."

"I know that, but I thought you'd at least tell me something."

"I just…I can't believe he's really gone," He said, as one lone tear slipped down his face. He was quick to wipe it away.

"It'll be okay. He's in a better place now," She reassured him.

"I miss him already."

"I know…but it'll be better in time."

Nat pulled back and covered his face. He sighed and put his hands down. "I don't know."

"What else is bothering you?"

He looked at her.

"Nat, do you think I'm blind?" I can tell when something is bothering you."

"What if my aunt doesn't give us money anymore? What if she stops helping us? What if the only reason she did it, was because Uncle Miles said so? What if we get kicked out of the apartment? What if we have to stop the band because we can't afford it?" Nat blurted out.

"Take a deep breath and calm down, Nat. That's not going to happen. I doubt your aunt would just stop giving you money."

"But what if she does?"

"Then we'll figure out what to do. You're smart, Nat. Believe it or not. Me and the guys are here for you and Alex, okay?"

"You're right."

"Don't worry about any of that right now. We'll get it all straightened out soon. So get some sleep, okay? You'll need it."

"Okay," Nat said, getting up from the bed.

"Nat," She said, grabbing his wrist.

He looked back at her. Even in the darkness of his bedroom, he could tell she was looking right at him.

"Could you sleep up here with me? Please?"

He grinned and nodded.

She scoot over against the wall so he'd have room to lie down.

He got under the blanket with her and they both lied down. "I missed you spending the night here. I miss it from the summer."

"I missed it too," She said. She smiled sheepishly. "And to be honest, I missed sleeping with your blanket."

Nat was slightly confused. "Why?"

"I know it sounds weird, but it smells like you, which is kind of...comforting."

He smiled. "I hope I smell good."

She nodded and smiled. "Don't worry."

"I'm glad you're here."

"Good, because I'm not leaving until I know you're okay."

~NBB~

"Crazy car, to lead me nowhere, lead me nowhere, lead me nowhere, actually it's made for that, made for that…"

Nat picked up his phone from the floor. "Hello?" He answered sleepily.

"Nat, are you guys okay?" Cooper Pillot, one of his best friends and the band's manager, asked worriedly.

"We're…fine. Why?"

"Names from this huge car crash in New Jersey was released this morning on the news. And one of them was…"

Nat sighed, as he carefully sat up in bed. "I know."

"I'm so sorry, Nat. I know how close you guys were becoming."

"Yeah…"

"If there's anything I can do, just call me. I'm here for you. The guys are here too."

"The guys know?"

"Well, right after I saw it, David called and told me he saw it. So I'm assuming he's told Thomas and Qaasim somehow too."

"Right…well, thanks Coop."

"Anytime."

"Wait a second, what time is it?"

"It's almost noon, why?"

"Whoa! We slept in!" Nat said loudly in surprise, then covered his mouth. He didn't want to wake Rosalina.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah," He said quietly. "It was a long night last night."

"I'm guessing you already told Rosalina."

"Yeah…she spent the night last night," Nat said, looking at his girlfriend's sleeping figure beside him.

"Well at least your talking to someone."

"What do you mean?"

"Nat, I've known you for a long time," Cooper explained. "I know for a fact that in these types of situations, Alex gets really angry, and you go really quiet and shut everyone out."

Nat couldn't deny it. Cooper knew him too well.

"I also know that if anyone can talk to you, it's Rosalina. But I want you to know that I'm always here to talk."

"Thanks Cooper. That means a lot."

"You're welcome. I'll let you go. You've probably got some things to deal with."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye." Nat hung up his phone and leaned back on his pillows. He sighed. He would have to call back his aunt today, and he knew it. He couldn't avoid her forever. He would have to talk with her sometime. Would she continue to give them money? Or at least help? He knew those days of Uncle Miles helping with the band were over. Aunt Emma isn't that type of person. But how much would things change exactly?

Just then, Rosalina turned over to face him.

He brushed her hair out of her face and she opened her eyes.

"Morning," She said, looking up at him.

"Morning, Rosie."

She sat up next to him. "I just woke up and you're already stressing. I can see it in your eyes. What's wrong?"

"I'm just thinking. I'm going have to call my aunt today."

"Yeah but it's nothing, right?"

"I'm guessing we're going to talk about the funeral."

Rosalina leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'm right here for you, okay? I'm staying with you no matter what. I'll be there with you through everything."

"Thanks, babe," He said, remembering their joke with a grin.

She sighed with frustration, trying to hold back a smile. "Just this once."

He smiled. "Thank you." He kissed her cheek. "Did you know I love you?"

"You may have mentioned once or twice."

"Good. I was just making sure you knew."

"Did you know that I love you?"

"Yeah, because if you didn't I would've gone crazy a long time ago."

"No," She said, smacking him on the arm. "You wouldn't."

"Okay, but I wouldn't be where I am today. I hope you know that without you last summer would've been a living nightmare."

"I still don't think that."

"Yeah, well I know that."

"That's good, because you're stuck with me."
